your  gums  get  little  stimulation 
from  the  food  you  eat! 


That's  why  you  need  massage  and  Ipana 

to  keep  gums  healthy  and  teeth  sound 


YOUR  dentist  will  vouch  for  this 
truth — that  the  food  we  eat  is  the 
cause  of  these  modern  troubles  of  the 
gums  which  are  today  so  prevalent. 

He  will  point  out  that  these  fri- 
cassees, these  savory  casserole  dishes, 
these  creamy  sauces  and  these  sweet 
.md  syrupy  desserts  fail  completely  to 
give  the  gums  the  normal  mechanical 
stimulation  they  need  in  order  to  re- 
main firm  and  healthy.  He  will  tell 
you  that  this  soft  food  causes  many 
troubles, —  that    under    the  present- 


day  diet  our  gum  tissues  are  becom- 
ing soft,  tender  and  laccid. 

Does  your  tooth  brush 

ever  "show  pink"? 

Sometimes  a  soft  tissue  bleeds.  That 
does  not  mean  necessarily  that  you 
have  pyorrhea,  but  it  does  mean  that 
your  gums  need  the  stimulation  soft 
food  fails  to  give  them.  So  the  den- 
tists very  logically  turn  to  massage 
to  restore  the  gum  tissues  to  a  firm, 
healthy  condition.     And  thousands 


IPANA  Tooth  Paste 


— made  by  the  makers  of  Sal  Hepatica 


of  these  dentists  recommend  that  the 
massage  be  done  with  [pana  Tooth 
Paste  after  the  ordinary  cleanin  • 

the  teeth  with  Ipana  and  the  brush. 
For,  in  healing  gum  tissue,  [pana 
has  a  direct  and  Specific  virtue.  It 
contains  ziratol,  an  antiseptic  and 
hemostatic  used  by  dentists  at  the 
chair,  in  healing  wounds  after  extrac- 
tion, and  in  restoring  the  gum  tissue 
to  normal  tonicity.  It  was  the  den- 
tists who  first  perceived  the  value  of 
Ipana  and,  long  before  we  advertised, 
started  it  on  a  rapid  rise  to  favor. 

Change  your  tooth  paste 

and  your  method! 

Isn't  it  worth  while  to  find  out  what 
Ipana  can  do  for  you  and  how  pleas- 
ant it  is  to  use?  Isn't  it  worth  while 
to  find  out  why  those  who  know 
Ipana,  so  steadily  continue  its  use? 
Resolve  to  test  Ipana  yourself. 

Use  the  coupon,  if  you  will,  but 
it  would  be  easier  and  simpler  by  far 
for  you  to  go  to  your  nearest  druggist 
and  get  a  large  fresh  tube  from  his 
ready  stock.  Before  the  tube  is  out, 
you'll  see  what  this  tooth  paste  can 
do  for  the  health  of  your  mouth! 

Even  if  your  gums  bother  you 
but  seldom,  start  your  use  of  this 
delicious  dentifrice  today,  for  it 
not  only  cleans  teeth  safely  but, 
with  its  help,  you  can  keep  your 
gums  as  nature  in- 
tended them  to  be — 
firm,  sound  and  in 
perfect  health. 


IListy  e.tting,  too,  is  harm- 
ing our  gums.  For  hurried 
e.iring  again  deprives  our 
gums  of  healthy  stimulation 
and  exercise  that  slower 
mastication  would  give.

Where  the  Peter  Pan 
girl  appears,  hearts  grow 
lighter.  There's  more 
than  a  touch  of  fairyland 
about  her,  and  the  work- 
a-day  world  seems  slow 
when  she's  around.  See 
her  in  "Are  Parents 
People?"  "Not  So  Long 
Ago."  "  The  Golden 
Princess."

He  directed  "A  Kiss  for 
Cinderella."  Remember 
how  "Peter  Pan"  de- 
lighted you!  He  directed 
that,  too!  Other  Para- 
mount Pictures  of  his  are: 
"The  Street  of  Forgotten 
Men,"  "  The  Little

Gloria  Swanson's  success

Her  Paramount  Pictures 
are  centers  of  fascinated

points  of  the  compass. 
See  her  in  "Madame  Sans-

Folly,"  "Stage  Struck."

People  who  would  not 
stir  to  see  a  king  pass  by 
would  break  half  a  dozen 
appointments  to  meet 
Tom  Meighan.  His  is 
a  triple  success;  a  man's 
man,  a  woman's  man, 
and  the  kid's  man,  too! 
Be  sure  to  see  "Old  Home

"Irish  Luck."

Paramount' s  Xmas  Qift  to  All! 

Natiori'tvide  Shotving  Week  of  December  28th 

If  you  seem  so  much  older  than  you  used  to,  if 
you  feel  that  life  might  be  a  little  kinder  to  you  than 
it  is,  come  watch  Betty  Bronson  and  Tom  Moore 
contrive  happiness  out  of  old  boards,  small  feet  and 
a  policeman's  point  of  view! 

The  peculiar  thing  about  "A  Kiss  for  Cinderella" 
as  about  "Peter  Pan,"  is  that  although  children  enjoy 
it  intensely  there  are  ten  times  as  many  grownups 
in  the  long  lines  at  the  box  offices! 

The  fact  is  that  all  the  world  is  young  when 
J.  M.  Barrie  and  Paramount  are  partners, 

f  -f  f  t 

Today,  Paramount  and  the  leading  dramatists  and 
writers  of  the  world  are  hand  in  glove  in  the  great 
cause  of  better  pictures.  The  writers  are  giving  of 
their  best  because  they  know  that  Paramount's 
resources  and  screen  ideals  are  big  enough  to  ensure 
the  greatest  possible  progress.

Daughter  reunites  her  quarreling  parents.  The

average  Western.     (August.)

mediocre  entertainment.     (August.)

tributing.— A  gambler  in  a  mining  town  plays  bene- 
factor to  a  girl  with  operatic  ambitions.  The  grateful

BELOW  THE  LINE— Warner  Brothers.— A  splen- 
did story  with  Rin-Tin-Tin  as  thrilling  as  ever. 
Johnny  Harron  and  lune  Marlowe  are  pleasing.

that  it  is  one  of  the  most  entertaining  pictures  of  the 
■year.     (July.) 

BLACK  CYCLONE— Pathe  —  Rex.  the  King  of 

Wild  Horses,  scores  one  of  the  hits  of  the  year.  The

this  unusual  amusement.     (August.) 

BLOODHOUND,  THE— F.  B.  O—  What  do  you

ferent.    Some  remarkable  riding  stunts.     (December.)

Acord  as  a  lazy  cowboy,  just  for  a  change.  The

AS  a  special  service  to  its  readers, 
Photoplay  Magazine  inaugu- 
rated this  department  of  tab- 
loid reviews,  presenting  in  brief  form 
critical  comments  upon  all  photoplays 
of  the  preceding  six  months. 

Photoplay  readers  find  this  depart- 
ment of  tremendous  help — for  it  is  an 
authoritative  and  accurate  summary, 
told  in  a  few  words,  of  all  current  film 
dramas. 

Photoplay  has  always  been  first 
and  foremost  in  its  film  reviews. 
However,  the  fact  that  most  photo- 
plays do  not  reach  the  great  majority 
'of  the  country's  screen  theaters  until 
months  later,  has  been  a  manifest 
drawback.  This  department  over- 
comes this — and  shows  you  accurately 
and  concisely  how  to  save  your  mo- 
tion picture  time  and  money. 

You  can  determine  at  a  glance 
whether  or  not  your  promised  eve- 
ning's entertainment  is  worth  while. 
The  month  at  the  end  of  each  tabloid 
indicates  the  issue  of  Photoplay  in 
which  the  original  review  appeared.

story    of   the    War.    beautifully    and    tOUchingly    pro-

DRUSILLA  WITH  A  MILLION— F.  B.  O  —  It ',- 
hokum  but  it's  good  hokum  and  splendidly  acted  by

you.     (August.) 

DUPED— The  title  tells  all.  Crook  stuff  played  by 
Helen  Holmes  and  William  Desmond.  Not  so  good. 
(July.) 

DURAND  OF  THE  BAD  LANDS— Fox.— Plenty 
of  action  with  Buck  Jones,  but  weak  on  story.  Ma- 
rion Xixon  is  a  pleasing  heroine.     (December.)

Mix  fans  will  like  this.  Others  won't.  Old  stuff  with 
draggy  action.      (December.)

trite  domestic  drama.     (August.) 

EVE'S  SECRET— Paramount.— Wherein  the  Duke

version  of  Pygmalion  and  Galatea  played  by  Jack

son, the  stunt  aviator,  provides  a  flock  of  thrills  and 
entertainment.     You'll  like  it.     (December.) 

FREE  AND  EQUAL— A.  H.  Woods—  Pulled  out 
of  its  grave  for  no  good  reason.  The  film  is  ten  >  ears 
old  and  deals  with  racial  problems.    Not  for  anybody. 

(July.) 

FRESHMAN.  THE  —  Associated  Exhibitor.— 
Harold  LlOJ  d  S  comedy  of  college  life  is  so  funny  that

LETTERS  FROM  READERS 


Down  With  Dual  Roles 

Atlantic  City,  N.  J 

One  last  feeble  remonstrance  before  I  expire! 
From  a  frequent  picture  patron  comes  this 
heart-felt  lament.  Word*  fail  me  when  T  try  to 
express  my  supreme  weariness  and  boredom — 
not  to  mention  acute  resentment  and  distaste 
— at  the  spectacle  of  young  and  beautiful  stars 
made  up  as  old,  wrinkled,  gray-haired  women. 
Gloria  Swanson,  Norma  Talmadge,  Colleen 
Moore.  May  McAvoy — please  desist.  Why 
should  they  waste  one  moment  of  their  glorious 
youth?  A  true  sense  of  the  appropriate  dic- 
tates that"  elderly  roles  be  left  to  elderly  per- 
sons. 

Authentic  old  age  has  its  own  proper  appeal, 
dignity  and  charm;  but  a  caricature  is  always 
unlovely. 

Will  someone  please  second  the  motion  to 
banish  utterly  all  these  dual,  triple  and  quad- 
ruple roles  from  the  screen?  Whatever  element 
of  novelty  or  interest  it  might  once  have  con- 
tained is  now  completely  exhausted.  Another 
horrible  example  was  the  exquisite  little  Norma 
Shearer  as  a  "lady  of  the  night."  I  am  still 
shuddering  from  that  shock. 

With  the  many  attempts  at  a  convincing 
portrayal  of  the  dual  type  of  role  by  numerous 
actors  and  actresses  passing  in  review  before 
me,  the  only  satisfactory  interpretation  that 
comes  to  mind  as  a  real  artistic  triumph  is  the 
inspired  performance  of  John  Barrymore  as 
Dr.  Jekyll  and  Mr.  Hyde. 

Mildred  Garee. 

Ouch! 

Washington.  D.  C. 

Here  is  a  brickbat  for  my  favorite  movie 
magazine,  PHOTOPLAY.  I  think  that  the  messy 
picture  you  published  with  all  our  favorite 
movie  heroes  mixed  up  was  perfectly  terrible. 

We  really  do  want  some  good  pictures  of 
Ramon  Nbvarro,  Richard  Barthelmess,  Jack 
Gilbert,  and  Ronald  Colman.  It  is  very  tire- 
some to  see  girls,  girls,  girls,  all  through  a  movie 
magazine,  even  if  we  are  fond  of  them. 

So  please  won't  you  give  us  some  pictures  of 
men? 

I  say  "we"  because  I  am  writing  for  a  great 
number  of  fans. 

Gladys. 

We  Feel  the  Deepest  Gratitude 

San  Pedro,  Calif. 

May  I  take  a  few  moments  of  your  time  in 
Idling  you  my  feeling  toward  your  line,  up- 
lifting magazine,  PHOTOPLAY?  I  have  been 
getting  your  magazine  for  the  past  two  and 
one-half  years  and  I'll  continue  to  get  it  as  long 
as  it  is  published.  I  notice  these  two  catch 
lines  in  your  magazine,  "The  World's  Leading 
Motion  Picture  Publication"  and  "The  Na- 
tional Guide  to  Motion  Pictures." 

Certainly,  to  me,  1  don't  think  anyone  could 
have  picked  a  more  perfect  description  to  put 
on  a  magazine. 

Two  years  ago  when  you  6rs1  had  the  cut- 
picture  puzzle  contest,  I  entered  it,  but  due  to 
my  lack  of  knowledge  of  movie  stars  1  had 
some  of  them  wrong.  Bui  this year  I  am  enter- 
ing it  again  and  I  feel  sure,  through  the  help  of 
Photopi  \y.  which  has  brought  me  into  closer 
<  ontact  with  the  famous  stars,  that  I  will  have 
them  right. 

1  have  recommended  your  magazine  to  my 
school  friends  and  they  have  immediately  be- 
come enthusiastic, 

Cornei  us  Frederick  Hixker.

Photoplay  for  the  many  interesting  moments 
I  have  enjoyed  through  reading  this  best  of  all 
magazines.  I  have  read  Photoplay  for  five 
years  and  intend  to  read  it  as  long  as  I  live. 
It  is  the  friendliest,  most  just  movie  magazine 
published. 

Also  I  should  like  to  ask  Photoplay  to  give 
us  more  pictures  and  articles  about  the  ever- 
popular  and  admired  Jack  Kerrigan,  who 
proved  his  popularity  by  a  successful  return 
after  a  painfully  long  absence  from  the  screen. 
Everyone  admits  that  "The  Covered  Wagon" 
is  great,  and  without  Mr.  Kerrigan  the  wagon 
would  have  been  stuck  in  its  own  mud.  Stars 
become  my  favorites  through  character,  good 
looks  and  good  acting. 

Here  are  some  of  them:  Richard  Barthel- 
mess, Give  Brook,'  Huntley  Gordon,  Ronald 
Colman  and  Lewis  Stone.  Everyone  misses 
our  own  lovable  Roscoe  Arbuckle. 

Rosa  iy  Hunter. 

Bad  Mr.  Watkins 

Grants  Pass,  Oregon. 

I  have  never  written  to  this  department  be- 
fore, but  feel  I  just  must  now.  to  criticize,  not 
an  actor  or  actress,  but  the  writers  of  some  of 
these  Brickbats. 

I  refer  to  II.  J.  Watkins'  letter  in  the  Novem- 
ber issue  of  Photoplay.  This  person  certainly 
must  be  very  young  to  think  that  middle-aged 
nun  such  as  Conway  Tearle.  Milton  Sills, 
Thomas  Meighan,  ami  Eugene  O'Brien  arc  too 
old  to  play  hero  parts. 

Watkins  also  asks  why  the  above  named  men 
do  not  step  aside  and  give  the  younger  actors  a 
chance.  Hut  who  among  us  would  prefer  the 
conceited  handsomeness  of  Ken  Lyon  to  the 
dear  character  of  Thomas  Meighan?  Milton 
Sills  nor  Conway  Tearle  are  neither  my  special 
favorites,  but  1  admire  both  of  them  and  dis- 
like to  hear  anyone  attack  them. 

I  also  wish  to  challenge  the  statement  of 
"  Lou  and  John"  that  Mac  Murray  cannot  act 
I  think  she  was  very  wonderful  in  "The  Merry 
Widow,"  and  even  if  she  couldn't  act,  she  can 
certainly  pass  muster  on  her  looks  and  form. 
Indeed.  1  do  like  Iter.

Twelve  Greatest  Screen 
Performances   of  All  Time 

New  York.  N  V. 
I  am  wondering  how  many  fans  will  agree 
with  my  choice  of  the  twelve  greatest  screen 
performances  of  all  time:  Pola  Negri.  "Pas- 
r-ion";  Emil  Jannings,  "The  Last  Laugh"; 
John  Barrymore.  "Dr.  Jekyll  and  Mr.  Hyde": 
Norma  Talmadge.  "The  Lady";  Charles- 
Chaplin,  "Shoulder  Arms";  Man.-  Pickford. 
"Stella  Maris";  Loi>  Wilson.  "Miss  Lulu 
Bett";  Carol  Dempster.  "Isn't  Life  Wonder- 
ful?"; Douglas  Fairbanks,  "Three  Musket- 
eers"; Lillian  Gish.  "The  White  Sister";  Paul- 
ine Frederick.  "Smouldering  Fires";  Mary 
Alden.  "SieL;e." 

A  Fan. 


Foreigners  Not  Eligible  for  "Ten 
Most  Beautiful"" 

Pittsburgh.  Penna. 

I  think  Herbert  Howe  should  have  left  out 
the  foreigners  in  his  choice  of  the  ten  most 
beautiful  women  of  the  screen,  especially  if  it  is 
argument  he  is  looking  for.  Aren't  the  stand- 
ards of  beauty  in  Europe  entirely  different 
from  those  in  this  country?  And  we  know  only 
American  beauty.  Pola  Negri,  without  her 
striking  personality,  would  be  simply  a  typical 
Polish  girl,  maybe  a  beautiful  one  in  Poland, 
but  not  here.  According  to  American  stand- 
ards of  beauty,  her  face  is  too  wide  and  her 
upper  lip  too  short  and  thin.  And  I  think  she 
shows  her  gums  when  she  laughs. 

Barbara  La  Marr  and  Nita  Naldi  fall  short 
of  beauty  by  the  American  standard,  too.  be- 
cause they  do  not  look  natural,  and  an  Ameri- 
can beauty  must  be  natural.  Who  ever  saw- 
anybody  look  like  them? 

I  think  the  reason  foreign  films  are  not  popu- 
lar in  this  country  is  because  the  women  are 
odd  looking  and  not  beautiful  to  us. 

Mrs.  Mary  Reid. 


Vilma's  First  Brickbat 

New  York  City.  N.  Y. 
Vilma  Banky  is  good  looking  and  a  capable 

actress,  but  she  will  never  be  a  star.  She  is  not 
star  material  like  Gloria  and  Pola  and  Corinne 
Griffith. 

I  think  she  lacks  distinction.  She's  just  an- 
other beautiful  blonde.  She  hasn't  anything 
definite  about  her  personality  to  make  her  a 
star.

Live  and  Let  Live 

Boston,  Ma>s 

I  read  a  great  many  letters  in  your  columns 
by  readers  extolling  their  favorites  and  knock- 
ing the  others.  Why  cannot  there  be  room  for 
ali? 

I  have  my  favorite  in  Valentino,  but  I  go  to 
see  Colman,  Cortez,  and  Gilbert,  and  enjoy 
them. 

Also  I  read  many  statements  such  as — why 
let  Conway  Tearle  play  romantic  parts?  I 
thought  everyone  knew  that  the  directors  are 
responsible  for  the  parts  played  by  actors  and 
are  to  blame  when  a  line  actor  is  cast  in  a  role 
in  which  he  appears  ridiculous. 

Can't  we  all  live  anil  let  live?  There's  so 
much  room  for  all  our  tastes.

What  Will  You  be  Earning 
One  Year  from  Today? 

A  practical  plan  that  is  doubling  men's  salaries 


You  have  said  good-bye  t'>  Yesterday, 
with  its  failures  anil  disappointments.  A 
new  Tomorrow  lies  ahead  ol  you.  What 
are  you  going  to  do  with  it? 

To  the  man  who  gives  little  thought  to 

his  business  progress,  one  day  is  much  like 

another — tilled  with  routine  work — rewarded 

mine  pay.      He   has  no  right  to  expect 

great  things  of  the  future. 

But  — how  different  the  outlook  of  the 
man  who  is  training  for  promotion,  and 
what  a  difference  a  mere 
twelve  months  can  make  in 
his  earning  powerl 

Give  a  thought,  for  in- 
stance, to  the  experience 
■  t  S.  N,  Williams,  a  Ken- 
tucky man,  who  has  special- 
1  i  d — with  the  co-operation 
.  t  LaSalle  Extension  Uni- 
Slty  —  in  Salesmanship. 
"My  salary  was  practically 
doubled  a  short  time  ago,' 
writes  Williams,  "but  my 
greatest  satisfaction  comes 
from  knowing  that  the 
amount  of  business  1  have 
written  this  year  is  easily 
five  times  greater  than  be- 
fore." Williams,  you  see, 
has  a  real  future  —  because 
he  is  constantly  preparing 
for  it. 

Increases  Salary  1 50% 

Again,   consider  the   ex- 
perience   of    Arthu'-    W. 
Weber,  now  Assistant  Sec- 
retary of  the  Ohio  Savings  Bank  and  Trust 
Company,    one    of   the    largest   and    most 
influential  banks  in  the  state.     One  of  his 
earlier  letters  reads  as  follows: 

"Since  I  have  been  training,  my  salary 
has  been  increased  150  per  cent.  This  in- 
crease is  an  annual  return  of  1,107  per 
cent  upon  my  investment.  Not  so  bad 
when  you  consider  that  most  conservative 
investments  net  only  6  or  8  per  cent.  Inci- 
dentally, LaSalle  training  has  aided  me  in 
jumping  from  the  job  of  timekeeper  in  an 
automobile  factory  to  my  present  position  as 
assistant  auditor  of  the  largest  and  best  bank 
in  Toledo  in  less  than  eighteen  months. 

"There  is  one  outstanding  point   about 


LaSalle  Extension  University— it  is  not 
your  excellent  text-books  or  your  well- 
built  organization,  but  your  willingri 
help  and  encourage  the  student  to  succeed. 
It  has  been  my  experience  tli.it  an  enroll- 
ment with  you  is  not  a  cold-blooded  busi- 
ness proposition,  but  a  real,  i  heerful,  sj  m- 

pathetic  willingness  to  help  the  Student." 

More    recently    he    writes    as    follows: 
"Monthly  dividends  are  being  paid  me 

on  my  investment  in  LaSalle  training  in 


the  form  of  increased  salary  at  a  rate  in 
excess  of  1 25  per  cent  per  month.  " 

You  Have  the  Same 

Qood  Opportunity 

Skeptics  may  suggest  that  the  records 
of  Mr.  Williams  and  Mr.  Weber  are  ex- 
ceptional. And  —  if  these  men  had  won 
their  advancement  without  the  aid  of  home- 
study  training,  we  should  be  bound  to 
agree  w'nh  the  skeptics.  For  men  are  rarely 
promoted  to  positions  they  are  not  quali- 
fied to  fill.  When  men  have  fitted  them- 
selves for  advancement,  however,  such 
promotions  are  not  exceptional  at  all. 

That  their  experience  could  be  paralleled 


many,  many  tit  tdenced  by  the  fact 

that  during  only  su  months'  time  as  many 
as  1,248  LaSalle  members  reported  d<  i 
saiai y -ini  reases,    a  t  of   trai 

under  the  LaSalle  Problem  Method,  total- 
ling The  avtragi   imertu$  per 

man   was  89  per  cent. 

The  records  of  these  1,248  members- 
representing  every  sine  in  the  Union  and 
every  province  of  Canada— are  all  recounted 
in  a  fascinating  book  entitled  "A  <  reography 
ol  Success. "  The  following 

are  a  few  of  the  promotions 

here  ret  orded: 

"From   ill')   to   $385   a 

month." 

rk  to  Branch  Man- 
ager, at  $10,000  a  year." 

"Salesman  t'  i  Sales  Man- 
;   salary  doubled." 

"From  $1,400  to  $5,000 
a  year." 

"PaSSesC.  I'.  A.  examina- 
tion; now  partner  in $20, 000 
firm." 

A  copy  of  this  book  will 
be  sent  you  for  the  asking. 
And  — it's  well  worth  send- 
ing for!

GOLD  RUSH,  THE— United  Artist*.— It  marks 
the  long-awaited  return  of  Charles  Chaplin  to  the 
screen.    A  great — but  not  the  greatest — comedy  of  a 

fine  artist.     (September.) 

GOOSE  WOMAN,  THE— Universal.— A  fine 
psychological  study  of  a  striking  but  repellent  char- 
acter Jet  in  the  atmosphere  of  a  murder  mystery. 
Superbly  acted  by  Louise  Dresser,  Jack  Pickford  and 
Constance  Bennett.     (September.) 

GO  STRAIGHT— Schulberg  —  A  crook  story 
dressed  up  with  some  off-screen  views  of  the  stars  at 
work.     Just  fair.      (July.) 

GRAUSTARK  —  First  National.  —  Norma  Tal- 
madge  and  Eugene  O'Brien  in  a  new  version  of  the  old 
stoiy.  Good  for  those  who  are  fond  of  sweets. 
(November.)^ 

GROUNDS     FOR     DIYORCE— Paramount— A 

French  farce  that  just  misses  being  delightfully 
frothy.  Matt  Moore  and  Florence  Vidor  are  in  it. 
(September.) 

HALF  WAY  GIRL,  THE— First  National  — 
Doris  Kenyon  in  a  story  of  the  sordid  side  of  the 
Orient.  A  ship  explosion  adds  a  much-needed  thrill  to 
a  commonplace  movie.     (October.) 

HAPPY  WARRIOR,  THE  —  Yitagraph.  —  The 
story  is  oversentimental,  although  it  has  its  exciting 
moments.  Malcolm  MacGregor  is  good  as  the  hero. 
(September.) 

HAUNTED  RANGE,  THE— Davis  Distributing; 
— Ken  Maynard,  a  newcomer,  joins  the  "heavy  ridin' 
brigade."  Just  another  of  those  "Westerns." 
{November.) 

HAVOC — Fox. — Showing  the  disastrous  effects  of 
the  war  on  London  society.  A  dismal  drama  is  re- 
lieved by  George  O'Brien.     (November.) 

HEADLINES— Associated  Exhibitors.— A  fairly 
interesting  newspaper  story  with  Alice  Joyce,  Virginia 
Lee  Corbin,  Elliott  Nugent  and  Malcolm  MacGregor. 
(September.) 

HEARTS  AND  SPURS— Fox.— Buck  Jones  in  a 

riot  of  hard-riding.  It  lias  plenty  of  action,  so  why 
worry  about  the  story?     (August.) 

HELEN'S  BABIES— Principal.— A  nice  little  enter- 
tainment for  the  children  with  Baby  Peggy  furnishing 
most  of  the  fun.      (July.) 

HELL'S  HIGHROAD— Producers  Distributing.— 
Cecil  B.  De  Mille  again  gives  the  low-down  on  the 
lives  of  the  rich.    Leatrice  Joy  is  starred.    (November.) 

HER  SISTER  FROM  PARIS— First  National.— 
Constance  Talmadge,  Ronald  Colman  and  George 
Arthur  make  this  one  of  the  funniest  comedies  of  the 
year.    But  not  for  the  children;  oh  dear,  no!    (Nov.) 

HIS  BUDDY'S  WIFE— Associated  Exhibitors  — 
An  Enoch  Arden  story  of  the  World  War.  capably 
acted  by  Edna  Murphy  and  Glenn  Hunter. 
(September.) 

HIS  MAJESTY  BUNKER  BEAN  —  Warner 
Brothers. — A  good  plot  is  ruined  to  make  a  slapstick 
holiday.  Matt  Moore  does  his  worst  with  the  title 
role.     (November.) 

HOME  MAKER,  THE— Universal.— A  domestic 
drama  with  an  unusually  intelligent  and  thoughtful 
plot  and  fine  acting  bv  Alice  Jovce  and  Clive  Brook. 
(October.) 

HOW  BAXTER  BUTTED  IN— Warner  Brothers. 
— Matt  Moore  as  a  sappy  clerk  who  would  be  a  hero.

(August.) 

HUMAN  TORNADO,  THE— F.  B.  O.— Wherein 
the  wild-ridin'  Westerner  again  establishes  his  in 
nocence  of  a  lot  Of  neatly  assorted  crimes.    (September.}

of  those  society  dramas.  Clive  Brook,  as  the  rich

Jacqueline  Logan.  Not  so  good  for  the  children.

ing farce.     (August.)

Windsor.  Percy  Marmont  and  Conway  Tearle. 
(  lugtwj.) 

KEEPER  OF  THE  BEES,  THE— F.  B.  O.— Not 
worthy  of  Gene  Stratton  rotter.  Little  Gene  Str.it-

which  Monty  Banks  again  tries  to  prove  that  he's  a 
comedian.    {September.)

ant novelty.    {October.)

Edmund  Lowe  in  a  light  romance.     (July.) 

KISS  ME  AGAIN— Warner  Brothers.— An  ideal 
picture  for  adults.  It's  sophisticated,  witty  and 
shrewd.  Ernst  Lubitsch  directed  it  and  Marie  Pre- 
vost,  Monte  Blue  and  Clara  Bow  are  in  the  cast. 
(July.) 

KIVALINA  OF  THE  ICE  LANDS— Earl  Ross- 
man. — Like  "Nanook  of  the  North,"  another  fine 
picture  that  was  made  within  the  Arctic  Circle. 
(September.) 

KNOCKOUT,  THE— First  National.— If  you  like 
Milton  Sills,  maybe  you'll  be  able  to  believe  that  he

villain.     (September.) 

LIGHTNIN' — Fox. — Much  of  the  rare  humor  of 
the  stage  play  is  strangely  missing  from  the  screen

tainment.    (October.) 

LITTLE  ANNIE  ROONEY— United  .Artists.— In 
which  Mary  Pickford  returns  again  as  Queen  of  the 
Kingdom  of  Childhood.  A  thoroughly  delightful 
picture.     (October.) 

LITTLE  FRENCH  GIRL,  THE— Paramount.— 
A  study  in  French  and  English  morals,  not  particu- 
larly suited  to  the  screen.  But  it  has  its  interest.

farces.    Fairly  amusing.    {September.) 

LOVE  HOUR.  THE— Yitagraph.— The  heroine

of  the  silliest  picture  of  the  year.    (November.)

younger  set  will  think  this  hot  stuff.  Their  elders  may

01  fun.     (September.)

another  war  between  cattlemen  and  rustlers.    (July.)

few  good  storms  and  some  rousing  sea  stuff,  it's  just 
an  old-fashioned  melodrama.     (October.) 

SALLY  OF  THE  SAWDUST— United  Artists. 
D.  W.  Griffith  proves  that  he  can  make  great  comedy. 
It's  his  gayest  and  most  light-hearted  picture.

ster.    Everyone  should  see  it.      (August.)

undertaking  of  the  screen.  A  spectacularly  beautiful 
and  slightly  dull  version  of  the  Niebelungen  legend.

From  Drudo'ery  to 
?38002P  <?YEAR 
/or -DRAWING 

Just  a  few  years  ago  Lloyd  Shirley  had  a 
small-pay  clerical  job  with  no  future.  It 
was  drudgery.  He  liked  to  draw,  but  could 
not  quit  and  go  to  art  school.  One  day  his  wife 
read  a  Federal  School  ad,  and  sent  for ''Your 
Future,"  telling  about  the  Federal  Course. 

Mr.  Shirley  enrolled,  studying  evenings.  In 
just  a  few  months  he  accepted  a  position  as 
artist  for  a  paper  company,  at  a  better 
salary.  He's  been  climbing  steadily  since 
— read  his  letter: 

"I  feci  as  though  my  old  clays  of  drudg- 
ery were  a  bad  dream.  Now  I  am  earn- 
ing $3800. 00  a  year  and  I  have  just  started. 
This  commercial  drawing  is  work  I  love 
to  do.  If  it  had  not  been  for  the  oppor- 
tunity of  studying  art  in  my  spare  time, 
and  the  kindly  interest  of  the  Federal 
faculty,  I  would  never  have  gotten  out  of 
the  rut  I  was  in.  The  practical,  thorough, 
short  course  I  took  with  the  Federal 
School  made  my  success  possible." 

Send  for  "Your  Future" 

Mr.  Shirley  is  typical  of  hundreds  of  Federal  Students

Brief  Reviews   of  Current   Pictures 

[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  1 5  ] 


SON  OF  HIS  FATHER,  A  -Paramount.— One  of 
the  dullest  pictures  on  record,  from  a  Harold  Bell 
Wright  story.     (December.) 

SOULS  FOR  SABLES— Tiffany.—  A  great  dis- 
play of  feminine  finery  and  a  story  of  fair  value.  Good 
for  grown-ups.  Claire  Windsor  and  Eugene  O'Brien 
head  the  cast.     (November.) 

SPEED,  WILD— F.  B.  O—  Maurice  Flynn  as  a 
speed-demon  thwarts  the  usual  crook  band.    (July.) 

SPOOK  RANCH— Universal.— A  mixture  of  melo- 
drama and  comedy  that  is  fairly  amusing.  Hoot  Gib- 
son plays  the  lead.     (July.) 

SPORTING  VENUS,  THE— A  lady  of  high  degree 

marries  the  commoner  instead  of  the  prince.  A 
routine  story  made  passable  by  Blanche  Sweet.

racing   melodrama   with,  plenty   of   speed   and   pep.

an  old  melodrama  of  life  in  the  fighting,  racing  and 
spending  circles  of  London.     (November.)

graph. — This  time  it's  Bert  Lytell  who  does  his  stuff 
in  the  great  Northwest.     (September.) 

STELLA  DALLAS— United  Artists. — An  almost 
perfect  picture,  with  one  of  the  greatest  performances 
ever  given  to  the  screen — that  of  Belle  Bennett  in  the 
title  role.     (December.) 

STORM  BREAKER,  THE— Universal.— A  good 
story,  some  consistent  character  studies  and  excellent 
sea  atmosphere  make  this  a  fine  picture  for  adult 
entertainment.  House  Peters,  Rutli  Clifford,  Nina 
Romano  and  Ray  Hallor  in  the  cast.     (November.) 

STREET  OF  FORGOTTEN  MEN,  THE— Para- 
mount.— A  weird  and  unusual  story  of  a  professional

acted  by  Percy  Marmont.     (October.) 

SUN-UP— Metro-Goldwyn. — A  strong  story  of  the 
Southern  mountains,  excellently  acted  by  Conrad 
Nagel,  Lucille  La  Verne  and  Pauline  Starke,  and 
beautifully  photographed.     'October.) 

TALKER,  THE— A  dull  story  of  domestic  mix-ups

ing.— Harry  Carey  in  that  rare  treat — a  really  enter- 
taining and  amusing  Western  picture.     (September.) 

THANK  YOU— Fox.— The  performance  of  Alec 
Francis  as  a  small  town  minister  is  the  only  redeeming 
feature  of  this  film.     (December.) 

THAT  MAN,  JACK— F.  B.  O— Bob  Custer  again 
— just  as  loyal  and  brave  as  ever  and  full  of  fight. 
(September.) 

THREE  WISE  CROOKS— F.  R.  O—  Pretty  bad. 
Evelyn  Brent  tries  to  rescue  the  picture  from  medioc- 
rity by  some  good  acting,  but  to  no  avail.  (December.) 

THUNDER  MOUNTAIN— Fox.— The  old  feud

While  it  isn't  for  the  children,  it  is  an  ingratiating  and 
exciting  crook  story.     (September.)

striking  and  unusual  story  beautifully  directed  by  Tod 
Browning  and  finely  acted  by  Lon  Chaney  an>: 
Busch.    It's  the  thriller  of  the  year.     (July.) 

VANISHING  AMERICAN,  THE— Paramount.— 
In  spite  of  its  weak  point-,  this  epic  of  the  American 
Indian  is  very  worth  while  seeing.    Richard  Dix 
a  fine  performance.     Take  an  extra  handkerchief.

tery story  with  William  Collier,  Jr..  doing  some  effec- 
tive acting.     (August.)

WHITE  OUTLAW,  THE  —  Universal.  —  Jack 
Hoxie.  in  a  Western,  is  ably  assisted  by  a  horse  and  a

WILD-FIRE  —Vitagraph.  —  Old-fashioned  and 
badly  presented  race-track  melodrama.  With  Aileen 
Pringle.      (July.) 

WINDING  STAIR,  THE— Fox.— A  passable  ro- 
mantic melodrama  that  Falls  short  through  a  colorless 
performance  given  by  Alma  Rubens.  But  Edmund 
Lowe  is  good  and  handsome  in  his  French  officer's 
uniform.     (December.) 

WINDS  OF  CHANCE— First  National.— Plenty 
of  thrills,  plenty  of  Story  action  and  a  large  cast  of

your  attention.     (October.) 

WINGS  OF  YOUTH— Fox. — A  modern  mother 
reforms  her  flapper  daughters.  Good  acting  by  Ethel 
Clayton.     (July.)

affairs.  If  you're  broad-minded  and  over  twenty-five 
— all  right.     (November.) 

WOMAN'S  FAITH,  A— Universal.— A  dull  and

Utthe  Lake  Placid  Club 

133  Women  Guests  say  they  find  this 
soap  best  to  keep  their  skin  smooth  and  soft 


The  LAKE  PLACID  CLUB  has  beet, 
called  "a  University  Club  in  the 
wilderness."  It  numbers  among  its 
guests  some  of  the  most  distinguished 
men  and  women  in  America.  It  is 
unique  in  this  country — rivalling, 
in  its  wonderful  winter  sports,  the 
great  Alpine  resorts  of  St.  Moritz 
and  Chamonix. 

Among  208  women  interviewed 
this  season  at  Lake  Placid  Club, 
Woodbury's  is  more  than  seven 
times  as  popular  as  any  other  soap. 


Trieir  Comments 

in  their  own  words 

"  I  find  it  most  helpful  in  this  cli- 
mate, especially  in  the  winter,  when 
the  air  is  so  drying  to  the  skin." 

"  It  seems  to  protect  my  skin  from 
the  effects  of  out-doors,  keeping  it 
very  smooth." 

"It  keeps  my  skin  so  soft." 

"  The  only  satisfactory  soap  for 
the  face  I've  ever  used." 

"I  never  could  use  soap  on  my 
face  until  I  used  Woodbury's.  Other 
soaps  always  left  my  skin  smarting 
and  uncomfortable." 


BRILLIANT,  rosy,  laughing  faces, 
soft,  smooth  as  flowers  in  their 
setting  of  snow  and  ice — 

Women  with  the  perfection  of  out- 
door beauty — they  flock  year  by  year 
to  the  Lake  Placid  Club,  unsurpassed 
throughout  the  world  for  its  winter 
sports. 

Straight  from  the  tropical  warmth 
of  their  town  houses  to  a  land  of  frost 
and  wind,  of  crystal  cold;  out  all  day 
skating,  skiing,  tobogganing,  making 
a  plaything  of  winter;  how  do  these 
women  manage  to  keep  their  skin 
soft  and  smooth,  exquisite  in  spite  of 
exposure  to  thedry  Adirondack  winds: 

We  asked  208  women  guests  at  the. 
Lake  Placid  Club  what  toilet  soap 
they    found    best   for   the   care  of 
their  skin.

TWO  beautiful  Days  in  Hollywood,  Marceline 
Day  and  Alice  Day.  One  of  these  Days,  Marce' 
line,  (left),  is  in  "The  Splendid  Road"  while  the  other 
Day,  Alice,  is  the  only  girl  besides  Mabel  Normand 
whom  Sennett  has  starred.    She  is  head  pie  stop  of 
the  Sennett  team.

A  PERT  pupil  at  Prof.  Sennett's  aauatic  academy,  Alberta  Vaughan,  got  fired  when  she  asked 
for  a  raise.    Mack  said  she  wasn  t  worth  it.    She  did  the  "Telephone  Girl"  series  and  proved 
him  wrong.     Now  she's  playing  "The  Adventures  of  Marie."

'UGENE  O'BRIEN,  the  screen's  perennial  bachelor.  Every  time  it  looks  as  though  Eugene  were 
*  snowed  under  a  series  of  mediocre  films,  he  stages  a  come-back  like  his  magnificent  "Graustark" 
performance.    His  next  is  "Simon,  the  Jester,"  with  Lillian  Rich. 


SYD  CHAPLIN  had  been  at  the  photographer's  all  day- 
long, smiling  politely  as  the  corner  picture  reveals.    The 
camera  caught  him  napping  when  he  relaxed  for  just  one 
moment.    His  next  is  a  sleepy  role,  anyway,  in  "Nightie, 
Night,  Nurse." 


Melbourne  Spurr 


'RNEST  TORRENCE  seems  to  be  giving  his  handsome  son,  Ian,  a  new  hat  and  a  dirty  look, 
*  both  at  the  same  time.  Ernest,  when  you  appear  in  "The  Golden  Journey,"  won't  you  please 
change  the  style  of  your  acting  a  little?    You  are  too  good  an  actor  to  become  lazy. 


WHERE  other  actresses  have  sat  around  and  demanded  star  parts,  Anna  Q.  Nilsson  has  taken 
every  role  offered  to  her — -and  run  away  with  the  picture.   She  is  now  on  the  top  of  the  wave. 
This  picture  was  taken  when  she  was  filming  "The  Splendid  Road."

DISCOVERED  during  the  sheik  series,  Ramon  Novarro  has  founded  his  popularity  on  genuine 
ability.    A  fine  and  sincere  actor,  his  characterization  of  "Ben'Hur"  in  that  gigantic  spectacle 
is  eagerly  awaited.    Rex  Ingram  was  Ramon's  Columbus.

"/^OODNESS!  Another  suitor?"  And  the 
VJ  lovely  Princess  frowned  severely  on  the 
handsome  young  stranger. 

"Why  not?"  replied  the  youth  pleasantly. 

"Well,"  said  the  Princess,  "do  you  see  those 
three  rather  cross-looking  Princes?  They  came 
from  Egypt  and  India  and  China  with  perfectly 
splendid  gifts — magic  beauty  soaps  and  magic 
beauty  lotions  and  magic  mirrors.  I've  just  re- 
fused them!" 

"Ah,  but  I  bring  you  truth,"  smiled  the  youth. 
"With  this  mirror,"  said  he,  pointing  to  the  pool, 
"and  this  lotion,"  collecting  a  little  clear  water 
in  his  palm,  "and  this!"  drawing  forth  a  cake  of 
Ivory  Soap,  "your  Royal  Highness  needs  no 
magic — oh,  lovely  Princess,  nothing  can  make 


you  lovelier,  but  these  will  help  keep  you   love- 
ly.  Will  you  marry  me?" 

"How  charming!"  said  her  Highness,  in  great 
excitement.  "You  are  absolutely  the  first  sensible 
man  I  have  interviewed  this  week.  I  should 
like  to  see  you  often." 

MAGIC  never  did  hold  beauty's  secret.  Al- 
ways, lovely  complexions  have  depended 
upon  two  things — good  health  and  perfect  clean- 
liness. If  your  skin  requires  special  treatment, 
you  should  consult  a  physician.  Ivory  does  not 
agree  to  bestow  health,  but  it  does  promise  vou 
safe  cleansing.  It  contains  no  drugs,  no  medica- 
ments, no  strong  perfumes.  It  is  a  pure  soap — the 
best  friend  vour  delicate  complexion  can  have.

Speaking  of  Pictures 


By  James  R.  Quirk 


A  VASE  of  roses  on  my  desk  reminds  me  that  it  is 
eleven  years  ago  today  since  I  walked  into  two 
little  offices  in  the  Hartford  Building,  in  Chicago, 

as  publisher  and  editor  of  PHOTOPLAY.  It  was  then 
emerging  from  the  theater-program  stage.  Its  circula- 
tion was  13,000  and  its  only  power  seemed  to  be  in  the 
accumulation  of  debts.  I  was  in  the  optimistic  twen- 
ties, and  the  world  was  my  lollypop. 

The  bliss  of  ignorance  I  had.  Optimism,  instead  of 
good  judgment,  was  my  guide.  Thenjulian  Johnson  came 
to  help  me,  the  Julian  who  became,  I  believe,  the 
greatest  constructive  critic  the  motion  picture  ever 
developed.  The  films  won  him  away  and  he  is  now  one 
of  the  executives  responsible  for  the  splendid  product  of 
the  eastern  Famous  Players-Lasky  Studio. 

f^\NCE  in  a  while  we  get  together  and  sigh  for  those 
^^old  days  when  we  reveled  in  pictures,  good  and 
bad,  mostly  bad.  We  reviewed  "The  Birth  of  a 
Nation"  together.  Francis  X.  Bushman,  then  in  his 
glory,  and  Blanche  Sweet,  and  Henry  Walthall,  and  D. 
W.  Griffith  would  drop  in,  and  we  would  borrow  the 
bookkeeper's  chair  for  the  guest.  And  Warren  Ker- 
rigan came  in  one  day  and,  while  Julian  and  I  were  out 
in  West  Madison  Street  seeing  "Traffic  in  Souls," 
brought  in  sandwiches  for  Miss  Dougherty,  then  our 
high-priced  SI 5. 00  a  week  keeper  of  the  books,  who 
insisted  on  being  called  accountant.  Now  she's  known 
as  Kay  Dee  in  picture  and  publishing  circles  from  coast 
to  coast,  and  is  the  only  woman  business  manager  in 
the  business.  This  morning  she  told  me  we  were  print- 
ing 700,000  copies  of  this  issue. 

V\  THAT  a  difference  those  eleven  years  have  wrought 
in  motion  pictures.  Instead  of  the  dingy,  smelly, 
little  improvised  theaters  of  those  days,  we  now  have 
great  palaces  with  symphony  orchestras  instead  of 
stringy  pianos.  Instead  of  the  "Traffic  in  Souls"  and 
"The  Adventures  of  Kathlyn,"  we  have  "The  Covered 
Wagon"  and  "A  Kiss  for  Cinderella."  Even  a  few 
years  later,  when  Chaplin  appeared,  respectable  folk 
went  surreptitiously  to  witness  Chaplin's  antics.  To- 
dav  the  pastor  and  his  familv  make  a  fete  of  "The  Gold 
Rush." 

A  FEMININE    reformer   has   just   discovered    that 

"Films  are  being  propagandized  by  organized  vice, 

that  the  movies  are  worse  today  than  ever  before,  and 


thai  til  ins  are  breaking  down  the  standards  of  civili/.i- 
tion  and  undermining  the  moral  welfare  of  our  youth." 
She  announced   this  epochal   revelation   to  a  Chi< 
ministers'  conference. 

Lady,  lady.  You  must  go  and  stand  in  the  corner. 
You  forgot  to  give  the  full  recitation.  You  omitted 
"Sinister  Influence,"  "Tool  of  Satan,"  "Dastardly 
Effort  to  Destroy  Christianity,"  and  "Greatest  Evil  of 
All  Times." 

Now,  little  boys  and  little  girls,  we  shall  all  stand  and 
sing  "London  Bridge  Is  Falling  Down,"  and  next  week 
you  shall  each  bring  in  a  paper  on  the  care  and  feeding 
of  orphan  sparrows. 

AND  just  the  week  before,  the  American  Humane 

Association  and  one  of  the  greatest  child  welfare 

organizations  adopted  resolutions  thanking  Mr.  Hays 

for  the  interest  the  motion  picture  industry  had  proven 

in  these  movements. 

I"  SUPPOSE  next  month  Mr.  Wayne  B.  Wheeler  will 
go  into  the  courts  and  enjoin  Herbert  Howe  from 
writing   any   more   stories   like   his   Christmas    Carol 
Manual  on  page  34  of  this  issue. 

A  ND   in   the   meantime  these  folks  glory   in   their 
achievement  of  turning  pure   Kentucky   bourbon 
into  synthetic  gin,  and  with  one  wave  of  the  handker- 
chief transferring  the  flask  from  the  hip  pocket  of  the 
drunkard  to  the  reticule  of  the  high  school  girl. 

T-TERBERT  BRENON  has  done  it  again.  He  has 
repeated  his  artistic  success  of  that  beautiful 
fantasy  of  Barrie's,  "Peter  Pan,"  with  an  equally 
delightful  and  more  gorgeous  one  in  "A  Kiss  for  Cin- 
derella." 

I  have  known  Brenon  since  he  started  in  pictures,  and 
have  always  believed  in  him.  A  student,  a  splendid 
actor  and  stage  technician,  he  brought  to  the  screen  a 
vision  far  in  advance  of  the  motion  picture  of  those 
days.  His  sensitive  nature  chafed  under  the  difficulties 
he  encountered  and  he  deliberately  dropped  out  for 
years. 

Then  one  day  he  walked  into  the  office  of  Jesse  Lasky 
and  said  he  wanted  to  make  "Peter  Pan."  Critics 
shook  their  heads.  Brenon  was  temperamental. 
Brenon  was  a  dreamer.  They  were  right — but  so  was 
Brenon.     Without   these  [  continued  on  page  126]

Can  Barbara  Come  Back? 


This  scene  with  Lewis  Stone 
in   "The  Girl  jrom 
Montmartre",  is 


the  last  one  Barbara  La  Marr 

made  before  illness  forced 

her  to  retire 


BARBARA  LA  MARR  has  had  a  complete  nervous  and 
physical  breakdown  and  has  temporarily  retired  from  the 
screen  into  the  mountains  for  a  long  period  of  absolute 
rest  and  quiet  ordered  by  her  doctors. 
That  her  condition  is  extremely  serious,  if  not  acutely  dan- 
gerous, none  who  saw  her  in  the  last  days  of  her  slay  in  Holly- 
wood could  doubt.  How  she  managed  to  finish  her  last  picture, 
"The  Cnrl  from  Montmartre,"  nobody  will  ever  know.  Three 
or  four  hours  work  a  day  was  all  she  could  stand,  and  even  then 
she  fainted  from  sheer  weakness  on  (he  set  many  times.  Per- 
sonally, I  think  Bobby's  light  in  I  he  mountains  is  a  fight  for 
life,  and  she  needs  the  earnest  prayers  and  sympathy  of  every- 
one of  us  who  have  loved  her  on  the  screen  in  the  past  if  we  are 
ever  to  see  her  there  in  (he  future. 

THERE  was  something  terribly  pitiful  about  Barbara — to 
see  the  gorgeous,  exotic  woman  as  thin  and  pale  as  some 
ghost  of  herself,  trying  to  smile  her  old,  mesmeric  smile.    To  see 

2S 


her  driving  to  the  studio  in  her  Rolls-Royce,  acquired  at  the 
height  of  her  sudden  lame,  when  I  don't  suppose  she  has  given 
a  thought  to  such  commonplace  things  as  savings  accounts  and 
rainy  days.  To  see  her  get  rid.  one  by  one,  of  all  the  staff  of 
paid  and  unpaid  slaves  and  admirers,  and  cling  at  the  last  to 
her  old  Dad.  who  has  stood  by  Barbara  through  all  the  ups  and 
downs  of  her  wild  youth  and  dazzling  fame  and  prodigal 
generosity, 

Barbara  knows — that  is  the  strange  thing  about  Barbara,  she 
always  knows — what  it  means  to  give  up  your  place  in  the  sun 
even  for  a  little  while.  She  knows  what  it  means  to  let  them 
forget  you.  She  knows  that  she  will  have  to  take  up  the  battle 
all  over  again. 

The  doctors  call  it  overwork,  and  that  in  some  measure  it  un- 
doubtedly is.  Barbara  has  worked  terribly  hard,  she  has  never 
considered  herself  if  anyone  needed  her  in  any  way;  she  has 
always  lived  in  the  day  with  no  thought  of  the  morrow.

Ronald  Talks  at  Last 


By 
Ruth 
Water oury 


I  MADE  Ronald  Colman  talk. 
Life  will  never  be  the  same  again. 
From  now  on  I  shall  know  that  I  am  one  of  those  fatal 
women.    A  Circe.     One  of  those  gals  with  Lure.    I  never 
dreamed  it  before.     After  all  these  years  of  keeping  quiet  and 
sitting  back,  to  find  out  that  I  have  what  Madame  Glyn  so 
succinctly  calls  IT.     Gosh! 
I  made  Ronald  Colman  talk. 

It  was  this  way.  Nobody  knew  about  Ronald  and  everybody 
seemed  to  care.  From  men  and  women  alike  came  the  tide  of 
interest  in  him.  Everybody  was,  and  is,  asking  questions  about 
him,  and  nobody  had  the  answers. 

A  particularly  efficient  and  hard-boiled  New  York  newspaper 


woman  confessed -to  me  that  she  had  talked  with  Ronald  for 
two  hours,  had  a  wonderful  time,  and  learned  nothing.  In 
Hollywood,  where  nobody  retains  any  privacy,  Ronald  has  it 
completely  tamed.  Ivan  St.  Johns  announced  flatly  that 
Ronald  was  a  Sphinx  and  conversation  with  him  was  impossible. 
Even  the  distinguished  editor  of  this  family  paper,  from  whom 
no  secrets  are  hid,  admitted  he  knew  nothing  about  Colman. 

And,  after  all  that,  I  made  Ronald  talk.    My  life  has  not  been 
lived  in  vain. 


It  was  Saturday  afternoon  at  the  Ritz,  the  Ritz  at  mid-sea- 
son. Every  table  in  the  place  was  crowded.  All  the  glitter  and 
glow  that  makes  New  York  loved  and  hated  was  there.     In 

89 


some  hidden  corner  the  orchestra 
played  a  Chopin  melody.  The  air 
stirred  with  perfume  and  softly 
modulated  voices.  Every  table  has 
its  celebrity.  Yet  there  wasn't  a 
person  in  that  room  who  wasn't 
conscious  of  Ronald  Colman's  pres- 
ence there.  Their  excited  whispers 
concerning  him  buzzed  constantly. 

If  he  heard  them,  if  he  saw  the 
heads  turning,  he  gave  no  sign.  He 
has  the  appearance  of  complete  con- 
centration. He  gives  you  the  feel- 
ing that,  for  all  his  reserve,  you  are 
one  of  the  few  people  capable  of  get- 
ting under  it.  He  conveys  that  im- 
pression at  the  very  moment  of  meeting.    It's  a  beautiful  trick 

When  you  are  introduced,  his  first  glance  meets  yours  quite 
politely,  but  casually.  An  instant  later  his  eyes  flash  interest,  a 
deep  interest  in  you  whom  he  has  just  seen  that  moment.  It's 
enough  to  make  any  woman  glow  like  a  red-hot  stove. 

OF  course,  it  may  be  due  to  his  being  a  marvelous  actor. 
Every  woman  in  his  life  must  have  felt  that  she,  out  of  all 
the  world,  was  closest  to  him.  And  afterward,  she  must  have 
known  she  didn't  know  him  at  all.  He  makes  you  feel  that  he 
could  be  the  most  charming  person  in  the  world,  the  most  won- 
derful companion,  the  most  ardent  lover.  These  things  are  in 
the  depths  of  his  cynical  and  amused  eyes,  in  the  well-bred  tones 
of  his  fine  voice,  in  his  flattering  attention  to  your  silliest  words. 

Yet  he  would  always  retain  a  part  of  himself,  a  self  that  he 
could  share  with  no  one.  He  is  never  quite  revealed.  He  is 
conscious  of  this,  too.  I  think  he  regrets  it  a  little.  But  the 
need  for  isolation  of  his  own  spirit  is,  obviously,  so  deeply 
rooted  within  him,  I  believe  he  will  never  overcome  it. 

He  is  a  definitely  mental  type.  He  is  conscious  of  everything 
every  moment.  Nothing  has  more  than  one  meaning  for  him, 
the  unspoken  meaning.  He  dives  instantly  below  the  super- 
ficialities of  social  intercourse  to  something  harder  and  deeper, 
fraught  with  cosmic  meaning. 


THIS  article  introduces  to  Photo- 
play readers  a  new  screen  writer. 
Before  joining  the  Photoplay  ed- 
itorial staff  she  was  one  of  New 
York's  most  brilliant  newspaper 
writers.  Her  first  assignment  was 
a  difficult  one — to  make  Ronald 
Colman  break  his  long  silence 
about  himself.  How  well  she  did 
it  you  can  judge  for  yourself. 


This  is  the  characteristic,  I  feel, 
that  has  given  him  his  reputation 
for  being  a  Sphinx  on  one  hand,  and 
slight''-  rude  on  the  other.  I  can't 
imagine  him  indulging  in  small  talk. 
I  doubt  that  he  knows  any,  and  he 
plainly  hates  small  talk  when  it  is 
directed  at  him. 

Complete   simplicity   is   utterly 
baffling.    Ronald  Colman  is  myste- 
rious because  he  knows  all  about 
himself.      For   that    reason   he   U 
poised.     He  has  hit  rock  bottom 
and  come  up  again.    The  heights. 
now  that  he  is  once  more  among 
them,  can't  kid  him. 
Wc  had  discussed  his  childhood  and  it  sounded  like  a  merry, 
healthy  one.    A  bunch  of  children  in  a  big.  old  house  in  London. 
a  quiet  English  father,  a  Scotch  mother.    He  has  three  sisters 
and  several  brothers  and  it  is  his  own  name  that  he  uses. 

"I  was  quite  mad  about  the  theater  always."  he  explained. 
"No  actors  in  the  family  or  anything  of  that  sort.  It  wculd 
have  made  it  so  much  easier  if  there  had  been.  As  it  was  I  felt 
rather  a  fool  for  such  an  infatuation.  I  had  only  my  mother  for 
encouragement.  She's  a  rather  remarkable  person.  Anything 
that  any  one  of  her  children  might  do.  she'd  think  all  right. 
I'm  sure  if  I  were  to  commit  murdei .  her  only  comment  would  be 
to  say.  'Well,  Ronnie  must  have  had  a  good  reason  for  doing 
it,  or  he'd  not  have  done  it.'    That  sort  of  thing,  you  know.' 

THE  deep  Colman  smile  flashed.  It  made  you  aware  of  what 
such  maternal  faith  had  meant  to  a  sensitive  youth. 

"There  was  no  family  pressure  upon  me,  but  I  was  quite 
aware  that  the}'  rather  wanted  me  to  join  my  uncle  in  his  busi- 
ness. That  was  out  in  China  and  it  was  a  good  chance.  But  I 
wanted  to  go  into  the  theater.    So  I  kept  putting  China  off. 

"Then  came  the  war.  I  went  out  for  three  years  and  when  I 
came  back,  in  common  with  two  or  three  million  other  English- 
men, I  had  to  look  for  work.  I  went  about  the  theaters,  feeling 
very  shy,  but  somehow  I  got  a  [  continued  ox  page  i  2 1  )

I  Wouldn't  Wish  it  on  a  Dog" 


By 
Joseph  Jackson 


For  every  Cinderella  there  is  a  thousand 
who  miss  the  Silver  Slipper 


A  GIRL  who  had  been  a 
fairly  successful  molion 
picture  actress  for  several 
years  and  then  retired  was 
telling  me  the  other  day  what  she 
thought  about  it. 

"1   wouldn't   wish  it  on  a  dog!" 
she  said  emphatically. 

I  couldn't  help  but  think  of  all 
i lu-  little  girls  all  over  tin-  country 
who  think  that  Hollywood  is  right 
next  door  to  Heaven,  and  all  the 
little  girls  who  think  that  Holly- 
wood is  right  next  door  to  Hell.  And  want  to  be  there  all  the 
more. 

For  the  greater  percentage,  Hollywood  i>  Heartbreak  House. 
You  hear  a  lot  about  the  Cinderellas.  and  there  are  a  lot  of 
Cinderellas  to  hear  about.  But  lor  every  Cinderella  there  are 
a  thousand  failures. 

Hollywood  stimulates  the  ambition,  but  doesn't  always  sat- 
isfy it.  And  there  is  no  canker  that  gnaws  more  hungrily  at 
the  soul  than  an  overweening  and  unfulfilled  ambition.  Dotty

didn't  have  a  thin  dime— or  a  thick  one  either.     Lily  Dimples 


THE  business  manager  of  a  studio 
said  recently:  "You  would  be 
surprised  at  the  well-known  actors 
and  actresses  who  come  into  my 
office  and  tell  me  they  are  dead 
broke  people  whose  names  are 
known  everywhere,  who  are  regarded 
as  eminently  successful."

Now  there  are  purple  Limousines 

in   other   cilies   besides    Hollywood, 
but   little  girls  are  not   in  the  habit 

of  getting  t  hem  by  their  own  ef 
forts,  that  is,  it  they  are  the  kind  of 

little  girls  that  say  their  prayers  at 

night.      So    Lily    Dimples    of    Red 
Oak,  Iowa,  hasn't  the  same  spur  to 
ambition,  the  same  visible  example 
of  what  a  girl  can  do  if  she  tries  hard  and  is  true  to  her  art . 

Robert  Browning,  who  used  to  be  to  poetry  what  Babe  Ruth 
is  tO  baseball,  said  : 

"  .1  mini's  run  h  must  ext  eed  liis  grasp, 
"Or  what's  a  Heaven  fur/" 
In  other  words,  there  should  always  be  something  beyond 
for  us  to  hope  for.    That's  a  beautiful  thought,  but  it  doesn't 
apply  to  Hollywood.    Not  by  a  purple  limousine,  a  couple  of 
police  dogs  and  a  private  yacht. 

If  I  were  getting  out  a  Hollywood  edition  of  Mr.  Browning's 
works — I  have  no  intention  of  risking    [  contivied  on  page  108  |

Ten  Handsome

Rogers  St.  Johns 


Lewis  Stone — The 
man-of-the-world, 
the  aristocrat,  the 
diplomat,  the  sei- 
gneur 


Ramon  Novarro — 
The  perfect  trouba- 
dour, lyric  charm 
and  the  beauty  of  a 
Greek  boy 


IT  is  no  longer  consid- 
ered quite  the  thing  to 
speak  of  manly  beauty. 
I  don't  know  why.  The 
word  beauty  need  not  nec- 
essarily be  effeminate.    If 
a    woodland    spring    is    a 
thing  of  beauty,  so  is  the 
storm-tossed  ocean.     If  a 
violet  is  beautiful,  so  is  a 
mighty  oak.    The  Greeks 
and  the  Romans  and  the  Vikings  of 
old  had  a  standard  of  masculine 
beauty  and  they  played  Olympic 
games,  fought  wicked  battles  and 
conquered  vast  and  unknown  deeps 
in  no  mean  fashion. 

In  the  animal  world,  the  male  of 
the  species  is  always  given  orna- 
mentation in  the  way  of  mane  and  bright  plumage  and  such  like. 

CTILL,  if  I  tried  using  it  now,  the  very  men  I  selected  would 
^ arise  and  call  me  very  far  from  blessed.    And  as  I  shall  prob- 
ably be  in  enough  hot  water  without  that,  I  shall  simply  call 
this  my  choice  of  the  ten  handsomest  men 
and  let  it  go  at  that. 

Herb  Howe,  as  you  will  remember,  picked 
the  ten  most  beautiful  women  on  the  screen 
and  he  has  been  in  hiding  ever 
since.  He  built  himself  a  monastery 
in  Beverly  Hills  with  a  white  plaster 
wall  twelve  feet  high  across  the 
front  of  it  and  you  have  to  stand 
outside  and  shout  your  conversation 
at  him.  When  Herb  included  Nita 
Naldi  and  left  out  Norma  Tal- 
madge  it  was  like  shouting  "Long 
Live  the  Czar"  in  Petrograd. 

When  it  came  to  picking  out  the 
ten  handsomest  men  I  had  no  idea 
there  would  be  so  much  excitement. 
Hut  I  brought  the  mere  idea  up  at  a 
quiet  and  supposedly  friendly  little 
dinner  at  George  Fitzmaurice's  the 
other  evening  and   in  a  moment 
soup  and  rolls  and 
caviar    were    Hying 
all  over  the  place;  to 
say  nothing  of  words 
and  phrases  more 
poignant    than 
polite. 


Upon  Enid  Bennett's  declaring  she  thought 
So-and-So  the  handsomest  man  on  the  screen, 
her  husband,  Fred  Xiblo,  said  that  personally 
he  much  preferred  Farina.  Mrs.  Yidor  having 
admired  such  and  such  a  gentleman's  personal 
appearance.  Mr.  Fitzmaurice  called  attention  to 
the  fact  that  his  mouth  opened  endwise  like  a 
fish.  While  one  and  all.  male  and  female,  con- 
tended violently  for  some  favorite  who,  while 
qualified  as  an  actor  and  even  perhaps  as  a  gen- 
tleman, certainly  had  no  place  in  any  list  com- 
piled solely  upon  my  idea  of  good  looks. 

Bearing  all  this  in  mind,  and  with  the  private 
conviction  that  to  be  good-looking  a  man  must 
have  strength,  cleanness  and  intelligence  com- 
bined with  artistic  symmetry  of  features  and 
body,  I  present  the  following  list,  which  is  the 
result  of  several  months  of  concentrated  thought: 

Richard  Barthelmess,  John  Barrymore,  John 
Gilbert,  Richard  Dix,  Ramon  Xovarro,  Regi- 
nald Denny,  Ben  Lyon,  George  O'Brien,  Lewis 
Stone,  and  Ronald  Colman.

Men  of  the  Screen

Mrs.  St.  Johns  is  a  brave  soul  to  attempt  it 
-and  she  gives  her  reasons  why 


\\  rll,  let  me  see 

Richard  Barthelmess  is  the  embodiment  ol 
the  way  every  man  looks  to  a  woman  when  she 
is  really  in  love  with  him.  He  is  the  picture  a 
girl  carries  around  in  her  heart  and  fits  on  over 
the  sandy  hair  and  commonplace  countenance 

of  the  man  who  wins  her  heart.      The  mouth. 

whose  dean,  young  lines  melt  into  thai  crooked 

little  smile,  the  dark,  line,  intelligent  eyes — oh 
yes,  quite,  I  think,  the  handsomest  man  on  the 

screen.

a  prairie  fire,  a  forest  fire, 
a  gypsy  fire,  that  stirs 
your    pulses    with    the 
wanderlust — Jack  Gil- 
bert.     Every   way   you 
turn  for  description,  ex- 
planation,     comparison 
for  Jack,  you  find  the  thought  of 
fire   flaming   madly.      Black   hair, 
black  eyes,  dangerous  white  teeth 
in  a  lean,  dark  face,  he  is  the  perfect 
thing  of  his  kind,  the  fiery  Slav,  not 
the  Latin. 

For  the  typical  young  American, 
as  story-tellers  have  sung  him,  as 
the  world  pictures  him,  you  can't 
do  better  for  that  than  Richard  Dix.     If  you  asked  a  little 
French  girl,  a  pretty  English  girl,  for  her  description  of  an  ideal 
American,  I  always  imagine  she  could  answer  in  two  words, 
''Richard  Dix."     One  of  the  men  other  men  don't  mind  their 
women  calling  handsome.    And  to  me,  there  is  always  a  breath, 
an  intriguing  breath,  of  the  Viking  ances- 
tors somewhere. 

Ramon  Novarro,  the  perfect  troubadour. 
Lyric  charm,  poetical  charm,  plus  the 
beauty  of  a  Greek  boy.  Think  of  him 
when  you  read  of  Keats,  when  you 
read  of  Byron,  when  you  read  Romeo 
and  Juliet. 

Twenty  pounds  overweight,  and 
Reginald  Denny  might  cease  to  be 
even  good-looking.  Trained  fine, 
trained  down,  he  has  the  strength, 
the  complete  masculinity,  the  grace 
of  the  perfect  athlete.  The  well-set 
head,  the  fine  shoulders,  the  slim 
waist,  the  long,  tapering  legs,  the 
smooth,  steel,  undulating  muscles — 
from  toe  to  crown,  for  proportions  of 

ra  statue,  Reggie  has  it  on  any  of 
them.    The  Roman  gladiator  of  our 
century.

How  to  be  Merry 


And  yet  avoid 
being  poisoned 


MY,  my!  Christmas  only  two  weeks  off  and  I  haven't 
even  started  my  Christmas  shopping.  So  don't  expect 
as  long  a  letter  this  month,  Aunt  Minnie,  and  if  any- 
thing sounds  funny  it's  because  I'm  trying  to  write 
with  one  hand  and  finish  up  a 
few  little  gifts  with  the  other. 
People  always  appreciate 
anything  you  make  yourself  so 
much  more,  don't  you  think, 
than  anything  you  can  buy,  no 
matter  how  expensive,  for  a 
dollar. 

Being  at  home  for  the  first 
time  in  years  I'm  looking  for- 
ward to  a  verrie,  verrie  merrie 
Christmas,  though  goodness 
knows  the  last  thirty-one  (or  is 
it  thirty-two? — one's  memory 
fails  so  with  the  years!)  have 
brought  nothing  but  dis- 
appointments which  you 
couldn't  exchange  on  account 
of  the  tags  being  removed. 


T'M  likely  the  only  writer  alive 
who  never  received  a  sil- 
ver-plated cigarette  box  from 
Mary  Pickford  or  an  auto- 
graphed photograph  in  colors 
of  Ruth  Roland,  though  Lillian 
dish  did  send  me  a  postal  card, 
and  Christmas  before  last  in 
Tunis,  Alice  Terry  gave  me  an 
Aral)  burnous  embroidered  in 
gold  and  smelling  slightly 
second-hand,  which  the  one 
time  1  wore  it  in  Los  Angeles 
nearly  got  me  pinched  for  a 
Swanii  who  had  gipped  an  old 
lady  out  of  everything  but  her 
curl  papers. 

Last  Christmas  Eve  1  at- 
tended a  movie  banquet  in 
Rome  (midnight  mass  in  St. 
Peter's  was  suspended  in  its 
honor  or  because  of  the  noise).

"Little  Japs  swarm  suddenly  from  everywhere. 
I  don't  know  whether  they  get  in  through  the 
plumbing  or  come  out  from  under  the  rugs" 


After  listening  to  after  dinner  jokes  until  one  A.  M.  all  I  got 
was  a  tin  horn. 

Prior  to  that  they  had  given  me  so  many  champagne  glasses 
that  I  couldn't  blow  the  horn,  and  so  started  crying,  thinking  it 
was  broken. 

But  when  I  asked  Scott  Fitzgerald  to  see  if  he  could  bio  v.-  it 
he  said  he  would  if  he  could  see  it.  So,  after  all,  I  was  luckier 
than  he  who  couldn't  even  enjoy  seeing  his  horn,  which  was  a 
pretty  bright  red. 

Christmas  morning  Ramon  Xovarro  dragged  me  down  to  the 
Trastevere  quarter — or  somewhere  spelled  something  like  that 
and  smelling  worse — to  distribute  candy  to  the  poor  little- 
Italian  children,  who  are  not  to  blame  for  being  Dagoes. 

When  I  arrived  among  the  childies  in  the  whatever-it-was 
quarter  I  was  a  perfectly  immaculate,  though  slightly  unsteady. 
Santa  Claus.  Five  minutes  later  and  I  looked  like  the  official 
finger  print  bureau. 

TNSTEAD  of  hailing  me  as  Santa  the  dear  little  kiddies  seemed 
to  take  me  for  a  practice  football  dummy  until  I  picked  up 

an  antique  fragment  in  the  form  of  a  paving  block  and  said. 

"The  next  little  boy  or  girl  who  knocks  off  Santa  Claus'  hat  is 

going  to  take  a  nice  big  bump 
home  to  mamma  " 

If  Ramon  wants  to  distribute 
candy  to  the  poor  little  Holly- 
wood children  this  year  he  will 
do  it  alone.  Can  you  fancy 
giving  a  sack  of  peanuts  to  a 
Hollywood  kiddie?  He'd  yowl: 
"Lookit,  he  gave  me  a  rotter. 
sack  of  peanuts  and  I  wanted  a 
little  Lincoln  roadster." 

As  for  Ramon  trying  to  get 
by  as  Santa  Claus  with  a  bunch 
of  little  Hollywood  wise- 
crackers,  they'd  hoot,  "Oh. 
look.  Santa  Claus  has  a  black 
Ivard  this  year.  mama.  He 
musta  been  taking  gland  treat- 
ments like  papa." 


T'D  like  to  tell  my  readers  just 
how  I  will  spend  Christmas 
in  Hollywood,  as  I  realize  that 
having  a  merrie  Christmas  is  a 
problem  for  us  all  and  many 
look  to  me  for  a  way  out.  but  I 
haven't  decided  just  which  in- 
vitation to  accept. 

You  can't  be  too  careful  be- 
cause the  revenuers  are  pre- 
dicting an  unprecedented  toll  of 
casualties  owing  to  the  difficulty 
in  getting  the  stuff  that  makes 
Christmas  merrie. 

It's  a  horrible  thing  to  sus- 
pect Santa  Claus.  but  the  fact 
remains  that  many  people 
after  emptying  their  stockings 
last  Christmas  spent  the  re- 
mainder of  the  day  in  funeral 
parlors. 

Mv  secie'.aries  are  filing  all

The  holiday  problem  of

invitations  in  their  numerical  order.  Those  thai  are  not  ac- 
cepted will  be  promptly  returned  with  courteous  rejection  slip-- 
and,  where  future  promise  is  shown,  with  little  notes  ol 
encouragement. 

Xovarro  has  invited  me  to  spend  Christmas  in  the  Mexican 
style  known  as  -(oh,  well,  1  can't  be  bothered  calling  him  up 
tor  the  spoiling,  and  anyhow  you  couldn't  pronounce  it.  let 
alone  spend  it).  It  consists  of  marching  around  the  patio  in  a 
profession  carrying  a  plateau  of  snowllakes  (any  grade  of 
cotton  will  do)  with  statues  of  Mary,  Joseph  and  the  Child. 

At  each  door  in   the  court  you  Stop  and  sing  a   request   for 
nigs.      The  people  inside  then  sing  six  stanzas  hack  meaning 

\o,"  or  maybe  if  they're  real  mean  they  sing  something  worse 
and  throw  something  hard  at  you. 

After  making  the  rounds  asking  for  rooms  in  about  thirty-six 
different  verses  and  getting  nothing  but  wise-cracks,  you  finally 
hit  one  where  the  door  is  thrown  open  and  you're  welcomed 
with  candles  and  music  and  ki>ses  from  relatives. 

Gifts  are  thrown  onto  the  pavement  outside  and  you 
scramble  merrily  until  you  get  something  which  probably  has 
been  stepped  on. 

Unfortunately  I'm  not  gifted  for  singing,  or  marching  either. 
At  about  the  second  door  w  here 
they  sang  out,  "Nothing  do- 
ing," I'd  be  looking  around 
for  a  bicycle  or  else  take  a  park 
bench  as  on  previous  occasions. 

Regarding  the  merry 
scramble  for  presents  where 
you  get  your  bridge  work 
knocked  out  and  come  up  with 
a  broken  doll  that  says.  "  Ma- 
ma!" I  haven't  participated 
since  a  Sunday  school  event 
when  I  accidentally  kicked  the 
superintendent's  child  and  he 
said  "  Mama!"  and  I  got 
drummed  out,  with  a  motto 
reading,  "Suff:rlittlechildren." 


QORIXXE  GRIFFITH  has 

invited  me  to  turkey  dinner. 
Every  day  while  I  was  on  an 
orange  juice  diet  trying  to  get 
handsomelike Malcolm  McGre- 
gor, Willis  Goldbeck.  Ramon 
Novarro  and  all  the  other  boys 
who  take  them,  Corinne  would 
call  up  and  invite  me  to  a 
chicken  or  turkey  dinner. 

Xow  nobody  can  have  turkey 
or  chicken  as  often  as  that  and 
be  honest,  no  matter  what  their 
salary  may  be. 

Trie  only  people  I  ever  knew 
who  had  chicken  every  day 
were  some  colored  folk  and  they 
died  suddenly  one  night  in  a 
friend's  hen  roost,  of  acute  in- 
digestion, the  coroner  said  — 
due  to  "inability  to  digest  lead. 

I've  also  found  that  people 
who  talk  turkey  usually  serve 
canned  salmon. 


"When  friends  file  by  they'll  say,  'A  smile  on 
his  face — how  lifelike! — Oh,   well,   he's   prob- 
ably better  off'  " 


The  last  time  1  was  at  Corinne's  she  served  a  buffet  supper 
where  you  helped  yourself,  and  you  should  have  seen  my  suit 
when  I  finished.     It  was  a  sight! 

Marie  Prevost  preceded  me  in  making  the  rounds  of  the 

table,  and  all  I  got  was  mint 
jelly,  that  being  the  only  thing 
that  Marie  didn't  just  love.  I 
guess  that  all  she  and  Kenneth 
Harlan  eat  at  home  are  ap- 
petizers. 

Another  thing,  Corinne  al- 
ways tactfully  suggests  that 
you  take  a  dip  in  the  swimming 
pool  before  sitting  down  to 
dinner.  Even  when  you  ask 
plaintively  if  you  couldn't  be 
fumigated  or  sprinkled  with 
insect  powder  just  as  well, 
she'll  insist  upon  you  going 
into  the  pool  at  least  once. 

pOLA  NEGRI  gets  sore  every 

time  you  turn  down  one  of  her 
invitations.  But  the  chances 
are  if  you  accept  you'll  arrive 
to  find  that  Pola  has  left  foi 
Del  Monte  or  Tia  Juana  with- 
out even  leaving  enough  to 
feed  the  dogs. 

Last  Christmas  Pola  was 
suddenly  stricken  with  piety, 
dashed  off  to  Del  Monte  and 
invited  all  the  fathers  of 
Carmel  mission  to  have  dinner 
with  her. 

I  like  the  fathers  and  would 
enjoy  dinner  with  them,  but 
I'm  not  going  to  take  chances 
on    Pola's    secular    mood. 

You're  just  as  liable  to  find 
her  surrounded  with  a  bunch  of 
deacons  singing,  "Lips  that 
touch  tobacco  and  wine  shall 
never,  no  never,  touch  mine." 
Or  in  a  psalm  fest  for  boot-

PHOTOPLAY'S  second   cut    puzzle   contest    is   decided! 
From  the  more  than  thirty-live  thousand  solutions  re- 
ceived in  the  Cut  Puzzle  Contest  that  appeared  in  the 
June,  July,  August  and  September  issues,  Photoplay  lias 
now  selected  the  winners  of  the  fifty  prizes.    The  names  of  the 
winners  are  published  herewith. 

Selecting  these  winners  was  almost  the  most  difficult  problem 
Photoplay  has  ever  handled.  Puzzles  to  right  of  us,  puzzles  to 
left  of  us,  hundreds  of  them  perfect,  nearly  all  ingeniously 
worked  out,  Photopi  \v  was  deluged  with  them.  They  were  so 
numerous  that  an  entire  extra  lloor  in  Photoplay's  New  York 
office  building  had  to  be  leased  to  hold  them.  In  every  way 
these  thousands  of  entries  far  exceeded  every  anticipation  of  the 
management.  A  special  staff  of  employees  worked  on  them 
constantly,  sorting  and  listing  them.  Every  puzzle  was  care- 
fully examined.     Every  one  was  acknowledged. 

In  our  first  cut   puzzle  contest,   held   two   years   ago,    the 

36 


thousands  of  solutions  were  finally  sorted  down  to  those  that 
were  perfect  as  far  as  proper  fitting  together  and  identification 
were  concerned. 

It  took  more  than  a  month,  however,  to  eliminate  the  in- 
correct puzzles,  to  search  the  others  for  minor  errors,  misspelled 
names  and  other  slight  defects.  Every  prize  winning  solution 
was  one  hundred  per  cent  perfect. 

The  terrific  task  of  picking  out  the  fifty  best  puzzles  of  all.  of 
choosing  the  ones  revealing  the  greatest  neatness  and  imagi- 
native detail,  the  ones  that  were  in  everv  way  superior  in  arrange- 
ment and  presentation,  was  still  to  be  done. 

l'liey  were  all  so  excellent.     That  was  the  hard  part  of  it. 
The  judges  selected  from  Photoplay's  staff  had  many  long 
and  heated  arguments  before  the  final  decisions  were  made. 
Each  and  all  of  them  feel  that  the  awards  published  here  are 
entirely  fair  and  just. 

Every  form  of  presentation  was  submitted.    Stars  in  picture 


Second  Prize — Walter  Bollinger  built  a  movie  theater. 

It  has  lights,  peopled  boxes,  a  thirteen-piece  music-box 

orchestra   that   actually    plays,    and   a   screen,    which 

turned  by  the  knob  at  the  side,  reveals  the  stars 


Third  Prize — Mrs.  Andrew  Wolf,  Jr.,  created  this  gay 
couple.    The  cowboy  has  eighteen  feminine  stars  in  his 
heart,  while  the  simple  gingham  maiden,  holding  his 
hand,  keens  the  men  in  hers 


hats,  stars  in  lamp  shades,  stars  in  old  copies  of  PHOTOPLAY, 
stars  in  theaters,  on  bridge  tables,  in  fans  of  soft  ostrich,  in  gaily 
painted  treasure  chests,  in  theaters,  on  screens,  on  parasols,  on 
bridal  veils  and  ballet  dresses.  There  were  hundreds  upon 
hundreds  of  albums,  all  of  them  extremely  neat. 

Every  state  in  the  Union  was  represented  among  the  answers 
and  many  countries  outside  of  ours.  In  the  foreign  mail  were 
puzzles  from  the  Argentine.  Costa  Rica,  Holland,  Hawaii,  the 
Philippines,  Spain,  Mexico,  England,  Brazil,  Australia,  France, 
Sweden,  Norway,  Egypt,  India,  Japan  and  China. 

It  was  all  amazing  and  revealing.  It  was  flattering  to  learn 
from  the  number  of  replies  and  the  distances  which  they  came, 
the  strength  and  prestige  of  Photoplay's  circulation.  It  was 
inspiring  to  witness  the  beauty  and  novelty  of  the  work  sub- 
mitted. 

On  the  day  before  the  prizes  were  definitely  determined, 
Photoplay  gave  a  party  to  the  motion  picture  and  the  journal- 
istic world  to  let  them  see  just  what  the  movie  fans  could  do  in 
the  way  of  creative  work.  The  judges  wanted  to  have  the  party 
to  help  them  in  their  selection  of  the  winners. 

What  a  party  it  was!  Every  star  in  the  East  was  present. 
Tommy  Meighan  looked  very  young  and  handsome  talking  to 
Norma  and  Constance  Talmadge.  Natalie  Talmadge,  making 
one  of  her  rare  public  appearances,  came  along,  too,  with  her 
husband,  Buster  Keaton.  Bessie  Love  romped  about  in  a  smart 
little  tailored  suit  and  showed  Richard  Barthelmess  how  to  do 
the  Charleston.  Samuel  Goldwyn  accompanied  his  charming 
wife,  Frances  Howard,  and  kept  a  watchful  eye  on  his  young 
star.  Lois  Moran.  who  looked  just  as  unspoiled  as  her 
contract  demands.  Ronald  Colman  drew  the  eye  of 
every  woman  present,  and  beautiful,  blonde  May 
Allison  drew  the  eye  of  every  man.  This  was  all 
right,  however,  as  Will  Hays  was  there.  Car- 
lotta  Monterey,  representing  her  husband, 
Ralph  Barton,  talked  to  Douglas  Mac- 
Lean.  In  and  out  among  the  stars  and 
the  cut  puzzles  moved  the  writers 
from  every  New  York  daily,  dis- 
tinguished editors  and  repre- 
sentatives of  every  producing 
company. 


All  were  unanimous  in  their  praise  of  the  entries  in  the 
contest,  which  unearthed  many  young  poets  and  several  dozen 
clever  pen  and  ink  artists.  Marad  Serriov  of  Miami,  Florida, 
accompanying  each  star's  portrait  with  a  cartoon  of  him  in  one 
of  his  principal  roles,  wrote  a  rhymed  character  sketch  of 
each.    Here  is  his  appraisal  of  Pola  Negri: 

"Pola,  the  gypsy,  with  slumberous  eyes, 
With  tumultuous,  turbulent  soul; 
Who's  likely — -if  she  wants  to — 
Kiss  beggars,  snub  kings, 
Or  bathe  in  her  own  fingerbowl." 

In  a  neat  album  Betty  Soleman  of  Tama,  Iowa,  wrote: 

"If  I  had  cut  the  proper  caper, 
'Twould  not  be  made  of  wrapping  paper, 
Yet  why  with  riches  attempt  to  compete 
When  this  recommends  it — 'tis  cheap  and  neat, 
I'm  hoping  and  praying  to  win  a  prize  now, 
Oh  for  a  Herbert  to  tell  me  Howe!"

To  take  their  little  whirl

Now  one  is  high  above  the  rest 

And  then  he  takes  a  flop,

Here  is  Photoplay's  cut  puzzle  contest.    Maybe  you  can  pick  out  your  own  reply.     It  took  a  whole  floor  to  hold 

ness,  skill  and  accuracy  everywhere,  and 


I'm  a  cowboy  movie  fan 

From  the  land  where  the  cactus  grows 
And  there's  nothing  I  like  better  than 

The  moving  picture  shows. 
I  have  my  favorite  actresses 

Numbering  sixteen  in  all, 
Some  of  them  are  short,  some  plump. 

Some  of  them  are  tall. 
Now  you  just  take  a  little  time 

To  look  into  my  heart 
And  you  will  find  that  each  star 

Holds  her  own  separate  part. 

Miss  Eileen  Block,  Route  5,  Plymouth,  Michigan,  sent  a 
great  square  of  soap,  three  feet  high  by  three  wide,  with  hand-

Letters  received  from  tin-  two  first  prize  winners  written  in 
response  to  Photoplay's  notification  of  their  success,  indicate 
that  the  awards  will  be  well  spent. 

Maenae  Nichols,  winner  of  the  first  prize,  says:  "I  recently 
resigned  from  office  work,  due  to  poor  health.  The  death  of  my 
father  compelled  me  to  work.  1  am  going  to  use  the  prize 
money  to  further  my  education." 

Walter  R.  Bollinger,  winner  of  the  second  prize,  writes:  "I 
find  it  rather  hard  to  say  to  just  what  of  many  worthwhile  uses

STUDIO  NEWS  6?  GOSSIP 


No,  this  is  not  a  halitosis  guard.    It  is  a  flirting  fan  that 

demonstrates  what  the  old   Spanish   sheiks   were   up 

against.    It  was  handed  down  to  Louise  Fazenda  by  her 

great-grandmother 


Matt  Moore  as  a  big  rough  man  of  the  great  open  coal 

holes  in  his  latest  picture,  "The  Gave  Man."     Quite  a 

change  from  the  timid  youth  of  "How  Baxter  Butted 

In."    This  picture  will  not  be  popular  with  barbers 


NOT  since  Gloria  brought  home  the  Mar- 
quis, has  Hollywood  been  so  excited  about 
anything  as  the  arrival  of  Michael  Arlen, 
author  of  that  famous  chronicle  of  a  ."lovely 
lady"  who  wore  "The  Green  Hat."  Nor  has 
any  other  topic  been  discussed,  before  and 
after,  with  such  zeal. 

Mr.  Arlen  came.  Just  what  people  expected, 
after  reading  "The  Green  Hat"  and  "Piracy," 
I  don't  know.  Whatever  it  was,  they  seemed  a 
little  disappointed  in  Mike.  He  is  a  pleasant 
little  chap,  almost  too  well-groomed  and  a 
trille  overdressed,  but  he  goes  about  his  work 
in  a  business-like  manner.  If  the  admiring 
feminine  contingent  hoped  to  see  him  live  per- 
haps a  Purple  Hat  in  Hollywood,  it  has  been 
badly  stung.  The  creator  of  Iris  Storm  seems 
not  at  all  interested  in  women.  He  dines  very 
frequently  with  his  much  admired  Bcbe 
Daniels — he  knew  her  in  New  York — plays 
bridge  with  her  friends,  goes  with  her  to  dinner 
at  the  Harold  Lloyds,  is  in  his  office  at  nine  and 
prepares  manuscripts  for  Pola  until  six. 

Nothing  terribly  exciting.  But  I  do  think  il 
was  a  little  unfair  of  some  of  the  men  delegates 
to  call  him  the  perfumed  rug  merchant,  lie 
may  be  Armenian,  but  he  has  all  the  earmarks 
of  an  English  gentleman.     Men  are  so  jealous. 

And  Hollywood  has  been  a  trial  to  him.  "  If 
anyone  asks  me  once  more  what  I  think  of 
women,"  he  said,  distractedly,  "I  shall  go 
crazj  ."

The  other  day  Leatrice  Joy  was 
returning  from  the  beach  with  her 
publicity  man,  where  she  had  been 
posing  for  some  pictures.    A  hot  dog

stand  on  the  by-road  flagrantly 
flirted  its  sign  and  the  odor  of  siz- 
zling doggies  permeated  the  air.  They 
paused  to  indulge. 

The  proprietress  was  a  jovial  Irish- 
woman who  was  not  remiss  in  tender- 
ing compliments  with  her  wares. 
Turning  to  her  attendant,  she  said  in 
tones  audible  enough  for  Letty  to 
hear: 

"Dearie,  don't  you  think  this 
young  lady  looks  a  great  deal  like 
Priscilla  Dean?" 

AT  last  Mary  and  Doug  are  to  get  their 
■**-much-planned-for  trip  around  the  world. 
Upon  the  completion  of  "Scraps,"  Mary's 
current  production,  she  will  make  a  story  of  a 
little  shop  girl  in  a  big  city.  This  will  be 
finished  in  March,  when  she  and  Doug  will 
leave  for  their  tour  of  the  world. 

After  doing  the  four  corners  of  the  globe, 
they  will  linger  in  Europe  long  enough  to  make 
a  picture  in  which  both  Mary  and  Doug  will  be 
featured. 

The  Fairbanks  itinerary  at  present  schedules 
their  return  to  the  Slates  in  the  spring  of  10: :. 
u  hen  Man'  will  do  another  picture  with  a  New 
England  locale,  similar  in  character  to 
"  Rebecca  of  Sunnvbrook  Farm."  This  picture 
will  be  followed  by  a  crook  story.  After  this. 
probably.  Mary  will  be  so  hopelessly  aged  and 
bent  that  she  will  be  forced  to  play  adolescent 
roles. 

T5RONCHO  BILLY,  the  first  two-gun  man  of 
-L'tlu-  (Mnis.  is  down  and  out.  broke,  ill.  For 
seven  years  the  ex-star  has  been  unable  to  work 


because  of  poor  health.  He  has  managed  to 
exist  on  funds  given  him  from  time  to  time  by 
relatives. 

""pHF  Charleston  craze  has  died  a  sudden  and 
■*■  violent  death  so  far  as  the  motion  picture 
girls  are  concerned.  Reason:  somebody  cir- 
culated the  report  that  a  well-known  ortho- 
pedic hospital  claims  this  dance  causes  flat 
feet : 

We  hope  Bessie  Love  didn't  hear  the  rumor 
before  she  sailed  for  Europe.  Not  that  we 
want  Bessie  to  get  flat  feet,  but  we  like  to 
imagine  her  knocking  the  continental  sheiks  for 
a  row  of  cocktails  when  she  goes  into  her 
Charleston.  Wait  till  you  see  her  do  it  in  "The 
King  on  Main  Street." 

■VX7HILE  in  San  Francisco  making 
"  "  a  picture,  James  Cruze  pointed 
out  the  site  of  the  old  Occidental 
hotel, once  a  famous  hostelry,  to  mem- 
bers of  the  company,  with  this  remark : 

"It  was  at  the  old  Occidental  that  I 
met  Mark  Twain." 

Then  he  told  how  and  why,  and 
here's  the  yarn: 

"Not  only  did  I  meet  him,"  con- 
fided Cruze,  "but  he  spoke  to  me." 

"No!  What  did  he  say?"  came  the 
chorus. 

"Waiter,  bring  me  another  cup  of 
coffee!" 

HpHE  story  of  a  reconciliation  between  Jack 
J-  Gilbert  and  Leatrice  Joy.,  recently  pub- 
lished and  circulated  in  Los  Angeles,  seems  to  be 
without   foundation  and  is  being  vigorously 


EAST  AND  WEST      9,cdr«k 


Gwen    Lee   of  the   Metro   Studios   demonstrating   the 

latest  thing  in  London  bridal  bonnets  for  the  boyish 

bob.    There's  really  only  one  step  beyond  this — to  shave 

the  scalp  and  paint  on  the  orange  blossoms 


Those  were  not  the  good  old  days,  for  Tommy  Meighan 

made  $7,250  a  week  less  than  now  when  he  played  in 

"The     College     Widow"     twenty     years     ago.     Evelyn 

Vaughn,  later  Mrs.  Bert  Lytell,  played  the  widow 


denied  by  both  of  them.  It  grew  out  of  the  fact 
that  Jack  recently  paid  his  first  visit  to  little 
Leatrice  11. 

Even  without  the  denials  of  the  principals.  I 
should  have  said  it  to  be  a  false  rumor.  The 
breach  between  these  two  is  a  wide  one,  and 
tilled  still  with  bitterness.  Nothing  could  sur- 
prise Hollywood,  which  is  not  easily  surprised, 
more  than  to  see  these  two  reunited. 

What  strange  tricks  fate  plays.  When 
Leatrice  broke  with  Jack,  she  seemed  about  to 
enter  into  the  highest  honors  the  screen  can 
bestow.  Jack  was  in  comparative  obscurity. 
Many  people  thought  that  Leatrice's  divorce 
action  would  do  him  much  damage.  But  it 
seems  to  have  been  a  boomerang. 

Today,  Leatrice  is  not  progressing.  She 
seems  to  be  failing  to  fulfil  the  great  promise  of 
her  charm  and  ability  in  "Manslaughter"  and 
"The  Ten  Commandments,''  while  "The 
Merry  Widow"  and  "The  Big  Parade"  have 
swept  Jack  to  dazzling  heights. 

Gives  one  something  to  ponder,  doesn't  it? 
Is  it  just  luck?  Has  justice  merely  leveled 
things  out  in  its  own  way?  Or  does  the  sinner 
flourish  like  the  green  bay  tree?  Funny — 
isn't  it? 

'T^HERE  is  a  certain  young  actor 
■*•  in  Hollywood  who  is  a  devout  be- 
liever in  the  adage  "Imitation  is  the 
sincerest  form  of  flattery."  His  wor- 
ship of  Jack  Barrymore  is  apparent 
in  the  choice  of  his  cravats,  haircuts 
and  gestures. 

The  other  day  a  little  office  girl,  at 
the  studio  where  he  was  working, 
unintentionally  blocked  the  exit  from 


the  set  and  with  his  best  Hamlet  ges- 
ture the  actor  swept  her  from  his 
path.    But  she  had  ber  revenge. 

Timidly  approaching  him  later  she 
said:  "Pardon  me,  you  are  Mr.  So- 
and-so,  aren't  you?"  Admiration 
was  mingled  with  awe  in  manner. 

"Indeed,  I  am!"  spake  the  actor, 
rising  wonderfully  to  the  occasion, 
and  hand  hastening  to  its  accustomed 
place  beneath  the  left  lapel. 

"Where  could  one  get  some  of 
your  fan  pictures,  please?"  asked  the 
girl. 

The  actor  told  her — grandiosely. 

"Thanks.  I  just  wanted  to  know 
in  case  someone  asked  me !" 

REFLECTED  glory  seldom  satisfies.  Xow 
it  is  Leni  Lubitsch,  wife  of  Ernst  Lubitsch, 
the  director,  who  wants  a  little  glory  of  her 
own.  She  has  signed  a  contract  with  Warner 
Brothers  to  play  stellar  roles  in  a  number  of 
productions. 

Mrs.  Lubitsch  was  a  stage  star  in  Germany 
before  her  husband  came  to  this  country  to 
direct  pictures.  She  is  pretty  and  blonde. 
slightly  resembling  Agnes  Ayres. 

TDALPH  GRAVES  fell  heir  to  a 
-*-^-good  joke  the  other  evening.  It 
was  during  a  dinner  at  the  Ambassa- 
dor Hotel  and  the  woman  on  Ralph's 
left  was  an  out-of-town  visitor.  Turn- 
ing to  him  with  her  sweetest  smile, - 
she  tapped  him  lightly  on  the  sleeve: 
"I  should  think  you  would  be  a 


very  good  screen  type,  Mr.  Graves. 
Why  don't  you  try  to  get  in  pictures?" 

Ralph  gulped — and  replied: 

"Perhaps  you  didn't  hear  the  name 
correctly.  I  am  Ralph  Graves!" 

The  woman  smiled  again  and  airly 
said   .    .    . 

"Oh,  that's  all  right!  You  could 
change  your  name.  A  lot  of  them 
have !" 

MAY  ALLISON  is  one  moiion  picture  ac- 
tress who  has  both  feet  on  the  ground — to 
stay.  She  was  scheduled  to  take  the  air  in  a 
small  airplane  for  a  sequence  in  "Men  of 
Steel."  There  was  not  room  in  the  machine  for 
more  than  three  people — the  pilot.  Miss  Allison 
and  the  cameraman — so  a  system  of  "still" 
cameras  was  worked  out  whereby  Miss  Allison 
could  press  a  button  and  take  the  "still" 
pictures  of  herself. 

Before  going  up  George  Archainbaud,  her 
director,  suggested  that  he  take  a  short  flight  to 
tell  the  pilot  where  he  wanted  him  to  go.  Miss 
Allison  watched  him  leave  the  ground  at  one 
o'clock  in  the  afternoon.  She  was  still  waiting 
when  night  fell.  About  8  o'clock  a  battered  old 
Ford  car  deposited  the  bedraggled  director  at 
her  feet. 

The  plane  had  broken  down  and  had  landed 
in  a  muddy  field  miles  away.  No  one  was  hurt, 
but  just  the  same  Miss  Allison  decided  that 
another  system  would  have  to  be  evolved  for 
the  photographing  of  that  sequence.

We  suspect  Gloria  Swansori  of  a  conspiracy  with  the 
hairdressers.    This  is  her  newest  bob.    The  effect  is  ob- 
tained by  cutting  the  top  shorter  than  the  rest  and 
curling  it  over  in  a  soft  wave 


Gloria  Swanson  discovered  beautiful  Arlette  Marchal 
(above)  in  France  and  cast  her  for  the  Queen  in 
"Madame  Sans  Gene."  Gloria  had  Paramount  bring 
her  over.    Brave  gal — she  imports  her  own  competition 


forth  between  Hollywood  and  New 
York  to  pursue  his  nefarious  career, 
brings  this  one  from  Hollywood : 

First  Young  Thing:  "I  would  love 
to  get  in  pictures." 

Second  Older  Thing:  "A  lot  of 
them  have!" 

OLD  Dame  Rumor  has  been  working  over- 
time lately. 

Her  latest  effort — that  of  a  separation  be- 
tween Jack  Dempsey  and  Estelle  Taylor — was 
given  a  knockout  blow  when  the  champ 
returned  from  his  Eastern  trip  and  the  two  flew 
into  each  other's  arms. 

And  this,  too,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  there 
are  some  who  think  Jack  has  plenty  of  grounds 
for  leaving  Estelle. 

You  see  it  was  like  this.  While  Jack  was 
away  his  little  actress  wife  got  lonely  and  so 
amused  herself  by  painting  a  portrait  of  her 
Tighter  husband. 

.Vow  Estelle  is  a  capable  little  actress,  but  no 
one  ever  told  her  she  was  an  artist— I  mean  the 
brush  and  oil  kind — and  what  she  did  to  Jack — 
in  the  picture — well,  I  won't  even  try  to  tell 
you. 

Some  who  have  seen  the  portrait  say — well, 
never  mind.  But  just  to  show  you  how  far 
apart  this  happy  couple  is,  Jack  took  Estelle  in 
his  arms  again  when  he  saw  the  picture  and 
said — 

"WONDERFUL." 

Ain't  love  grand? 

NUDITY — "pour    le    sport,"    as    Michael 
Alien  is  so  fond  of  saying — will  not  cause 
the  barring  of  any  motion  pictures  in  Germany, 

the  State  Hoard  of  Censorship  ruled  recently. 
The  picture  which  started  the  controversy  is 
a  propaganda  film  for  the  naked  culture  move- 
ment that  is  breaking  the  hearts  of  German 
tailors,  and  gaining  great  popularity  in  Ger- 
many, Russia  and  Austria. 

h2 


A  private  showing  of  the  film  was  arranged 
for  President  von  Hindenburg.  He  put  the 
official  Prussian  stamp  upon  it  and  opened  it 
to  the  public. 

Old  thrillers  and  melodramas  are  banned  in 
Prussia,  but  nudity — never. 

"W"OU  just  cannot  keep  Michael 
■*  Arlen  out  of  print.  Charlie  Chap- 
lin was  showing  him  around  Holly- 
wood shortly  after  the  author's  ar- 
rival. They  were  just  leaving  a 
studio  when  a  huge  truck,  loaded 
with  rock,  crashed  into  the  rear  of 
Chaplin's  Rolls-Royce,  demolishing 
it. 

In  an  instant  a  crowd  gathered. 

"Any  casualties,  Mr.  Chaplin?" 
queried  a  solicitous  onlooker. 

"None,"  replied  Charlie,  "except 
to  our  itinerary.  And  I  guess  we  can 
save  that  with  a  taxicab." 

ANNA  0.  NILSSON  got  her  divorce  from 
young  Gunnerson,  the  business  man  she 
married  a  few  years  ago.  And  that  is  the  end 
of  another  romance,  and  everybody  is  sorry. 

Anna  Q, — whom  everybody  loves — is  one  of 
those  actresses  with  a  thoroughly  domestic  dis- 
position. I  have  met  them  on  the  New  York 
stage — the  kind  that  save  up  and  hope  some 
day  to  have  a  duck  farm  down  on  Long  Island 
She  loved  the  little  home  she  and  her  husband 
built  on  their  little  ranch  about  twenty  miles 
from  Hollywood.  It  was  her  great  delight  to 
spend  her  time  there,  being  a  real  housewife. 
Anna  Q.  is  a  good  cook,  too. 

Hut — the  strange  part  of  it  is.  that  ap- 
parently that  was  just  what  ruined  her  mar- 
riage. A  man  who  marries  a  beautiful  and 
high-powered  actress  doesn't  always  want  her 
to  settle  down  and  be  domestic. 


A/f  ARSHALL  NEILAN  proved  himself  a 
*  Ylg00d  picker  when  he  discovered  little  Sally 
O'Neil  and  gave  her  the  featured  role  in  his 
latest  picture,  "Mike."  Rut  why,  oh  why,  did 
he  change  her  delightful  name  of  Chotsey 
Noonan,  to  Sally  O'Xeil? 

Incidentally,  Chotsey — I  mean  Sally — at- 
mosphered  around  Mack  Sennett's  lot  for  a 
couple  of  months,  but  the  well-known  dis- 
coverer of  feminine  beauty  didn't,  or  couldn't, 
see  her. 

/^AN  you  imagine  Aileen  Pringle, 
^the  striking,  the  gorgeous,  ever 
an  ugly  duckling? 

Well,  she  was — the  prize  Ugly 
Duckling  of  the  little  town  of  New- 
castle, California,  which  never  tires 
of  talking  of  the  wonderful  transfor- 
mation of  the  little  girl  who  grew  up 
in  Newcastle. 

I  had  it  from  a  friend  with  whom  I 
went  to  college.  He  dropped  in  for  a 
chat  one  day — visiting  Hollywood 
from  a  northern  city — and  the  first 
question  he  asked  was  if  I  knew 
Aileen  Pringle. 

"You  know,  Cal,"  says  he,  "I  knew 
her  when  she  was  just  a  little  kid 
with  pigtails  down  her  back.  And 
plain,  why  we  didn't  think  she  had 
one  redeeming  feature  then.  And 
now  just  look  at  her." 

DOUGLAS  MACLEAN  and  his  wife  re- 
cently went  to  New  York  via  the  Panama 
Canal,  thinking  that  the  delightful  boat  trip 
would  give  them  a  pleasant  rest. 

"And  it  did,"  says  Douglas.  " Furthermore.

YOUNG  Gloria  Lloyd,  only  daughter  of 
Harold  and  Mildred  Lloyd,  is  walking  all 
over  the  place  these  days,  and  talking,  too. 

There  isan  amusing  little  story  about  Harold 
and  Gloria  and  the  dogs.  Harold  is  a  great  dog 
lover,  and  he  especially  likes  big  dogs.  He 
wanted  the  baby  to  have  a  dog  to  grow  up  w  ith, 
so  he  spent  considerable  time  hunting  one. 
Finally,  he  came  home  with  a  Great  Dane.  The 
thing,  even  at  puppy  age,  was  as  big  as  a  small 
pony,  and  Gloria,  after  one  look,  literally 
turned  and  fled.  Harold  scratched  his  head, 
looked  some  more,  and  acquired  a  full-blooded 
St.  Bernard  of  majestic  proportions.  Gloria, 
not  to  be  taken  off  her  guard  a  second  time, 
welcomed  the  St.  Bernard  cautiously  and  was 
willing  to  try  to  get  along.  But  it  couldn't  be 
done.  He  knocked  her  over  every  time  he 
tried  to  be  playful,  and  after  the  second  time, 
little  Gloria  had  had  enough  of  that. 

"What  she  wants,"  said  her  grandmother, 
wisely,  "is  a  little  dog." 

Harold  accepted  defeat,  brought  home  a 
fuzzy,  ordinary  little  cocker  spaniel,  and  now 
Gloria  has  a  dog  that  she  delights  in. 

CAN  you  imagine  an  actor  or  actress  fleeing 
from  publicity? 
If  you  have  ever  been  an  editor,  you  can't, 
but  I  have  really  seen  it  happen. 

A  short  time  ago  a  Jewish  daily  paper,  pub- 
lished in  Los  Angeles,  wrote  to  all  the  studios 
and  asked  all  actors  and  actresses  of  their  per- 
suasion to  communicate  with  the  office — they 


wanted  to  send  a  man  out  to  interview  some  of 
their  own  people. 

The  letter  was  pasted  on  all  of  the  studio 
bulletin  boards  and  I  became  interested . 

I  called  the  office  of  the  Jewish  daily  several 
times,  and  up  to  the  time  of  Photoplay's  going 
to  press  there  have  been  no  customers.  Not  a 
single  Jewish  artist ! 

npHESE  little  girls  certainly  get 
■*■  away  with  murder.  Patsy  Ruth 
Miller  is  the  latest  diminutive  one  to 
perpetrate  a  crime  in  rompers. 

One  of  Pat's  recent  pictures  gave 
her  an  opportunity  to  wear  pig-tails 
and  short  dresses.  It  must  be  known 
that  Pat  in  her  grown-up  attire  is 
something  of  a  wit  and  the  gems  of 
conversation  that  fall  from  her  lips 
are  often  quoted  and  requoted  in 
cinema  circles. 

A  celebrated  Britisher  was  visiting 
Warners'  Studio  where  Pat  was 
working.  Eventually  Pat — in  pig- 
tails and  calico — was  introduced  to 
him,  and  commenced  her  usual  sure- 
fire line.  The  Englishman  was  dazed 
but  bore  up  wonderfully.  Finally 
Pat  was  called  to  the  set.  He  fol- 
lowed her  with  his  eyes  and  then 
said: 

"My  word!  Aren't  these  film 
youngsters  precocious!" 

ThPvAXCES  MARION  and  Fred  Thomson, 
*-  who,  besides  being  respectively  the  screen's 
leading  scenario  writer  and  the  most  promising 
Western  star,  are  also  husband  and  wife,  are 
living  over  the  garage. 

It's  like  this.  Having  bought  a  magnificent 
estate  in  Beverly  Hills,  they  built  the  stables 


and  garage  first.  Then,  as  the  house — which 
has  twenty-nine  rooms — took  shape,  they  got 
so  interested  they  moved  into  the  servants' 
rooms  above  the  garage. 

"It  was  easier,"  says  Frances.  "We  camped 
there  all  the  time  anyway.  It's  a  great  vantage 
point  from  which  to  watch  things  grow." 

Frances,  by  the  way,  has  just  finished  her 
first  production,  which  she  wrote  and  directed. 
It  is  William  J.  Locke's  "Simon,  the  Jester." 
It  should  be  a  knockout.  Miss  Marion  has 
given  more  directors  great  scripts  from  which 
they  have  made  pictures  which  boosted  them 
to  success,  than  anybody  else  in  the  business. 
She  ought  to  do  it  for  herself  now.

to  give  his  services  in  any  way  possible  to  help. 
And  there's  a  little  Catholic  church  in  Holly-

book  called  "The  Things  That  Women  Won't

filming  of  the  great  chariot  races  for  "Ben

By  Myrtle  Stedman 


Here,  showing  how  lightly  the 
years  have  touched  her,  is  Myrtle 
Stedman  today.  Her  eyes  are 
kinder,  her  mouth  gentler.  Oth- 
erwise time  has  been  unable  to  do 
anything  save  flatter  her 


I  KNOW  two  women  who  are  growing  old. 
One  of  them  is  fighting  Time  with  little  white  jars  full 
of  this   and   that,   wilh  gold  topped  bottles  of  fragrant 
lotions,  with  visits  to  specialists  and  beauty  surgeons  in 
immaculate  white  aprons. 

Whenever  I  meet  her  she  tells  me  rapturously  about  some  new 
beauty  shop  she  has  just  discovered. 

Her  face  looks  young  enough,  there  are  no  wrinkles  in  her 
smoothly  stretched  skin,  and  her  hair  is  a  glossy  henna.  But 
her  eyes!  Those  tortured,  harassed,  old  eyes,  and  her  shrill, 
nervous,  frightened  voice. 

The  other  is  not  fighting  Time  at  all.  She  is  making  Time 
her  ally.  She  goes  hand  in  hand  with  Time,  and  asks  him  for 
his  gifts. 

Whenever  I  meet  her  she  tells  me  of  some  new  book  she  has 
just  read,  of  some  fine  picture  she  has  just  seen,  of  some  young 
thing  in  whom  she  has  discovered  talent  that  she  hopes  to  aid. 

There  are  laugh  lines  aplenty  about  her  eyes  and  strong,  deep 
lines  of  courage  and  character  about  her  mouth,  and  her  dark 
hair  is  frankly  going  very  gray.  But  oh,  the  understanding 
light  of  those  eyes,  the  deep  sweetness  of  her  voice,  and  the 
jewel  of  serenity  upon  her  brow! 


against  age,  who  cling  with  overmanicured  hands  to  the  sem- 
blance of  youth  and  wear  the  garb  of  sixteen  as  an  ostrich 
hides  his  head  in  the  sand,  are  on  the  wrong  track  altogether. 

In  the  last  two  generations,  women  have  risen  above  most  of 
the  outworn  laws  that  held  them  in  bondage.  It  is  time  they 
put  the  heel  upon  this  last  tyrant  —  the  dread  of  getting  old. 

I  do  not  bring  you  any  new  "  beauty  secrets."  I  have  no  new 
magic  of  weight-reduction  or  wrinkle  eradication. 

But  I  believe  that  I  have  found  Ponce  de  Leon's  fountain  of 
eternal  youth  in  these  great  words  of  a  great  poet — 

"Grow  old  along  with  me, 
T/ic  best  is  yet  to  be " 


GROWING  old  isn't  something  to  be  dreaded, 
thing  to  be  enjoyed.    Age  isn't  a  thief  and  a  robber. 


AND  from  those  two  women,  one 
of  whom  I  pity  deeply  and 
want  to  get  away  from,  one  of  whom 
1  love  and  long  to  be  with,  I  can 
point  you  all  my  philosophy  of  grow- 
ing old  gracefully. 

People — fans  and  friends  and 
critics — have  been  kind  enough  to 
say  that  I  am  growing  old  grace- 
fully and  accepting  my  position  as 
the  mother  of  a  young  man  many 
inches  taller  than  1  am  without 
losing  either  my  poise  or  my  per- 
sonality. 1  take  that  as  my  favor- 
ite compliment  and  hold  it  very 
dear  in  my  heart. 

For  I  tell  you  that  we  women 
should  arise  here  and  now  and  get 
rid  of  this  bugaboo  of  age  —  this 
cowardly,  silly  fear  of  growing  old.

It  is  some- 
He  is  a 
friend.     It  is  only  an  exchange — growing  old. 

An  exchange  of  the  fevers  and  ferments  of  youth,  for  the  ripe 
delights  of  maturity.  An  exchange  of  the  hot  delights  and 
wild  joys  and  sorrows  of  young  manhood  and  womanhood,  for 
the  appreciation  and  wisdom  and  wide  understanding  of  a  mind 

stored  full  of  experience  and  a 
vision  grown  broad  with  years  of 
loving  ami  watching  life. 

We  are  so  hurried  in  youth.  We 
dash  from  this  to  that.  We  go  from 
the  mountain  peaks  of  mad  joy  to 
the  very  deepest  depths  oi  pain  and 
misery. 

But  as  life  unfolds  there  are  no 
mountain  peaks  and  no  deep  pits. 
but  only  the  pleasant  meadows  of 
proven  love,  tried  friendship,  and 
lime  and  intelligence  to  enjoy  the 
real  things  of  life.  Only  the  shal- 
lowest mind  can  claim  that  those 
real  things  ire  taken  from  us  as  we 
grow  older. 

For,  after  all.  what  grows  old? 
At  most,  the  body.  Need  the 
mind?  Need  the  heart?  Need  the 
spirit  that  is  in  man?  No,  a  thou-

THE  KING  ON  MAIN  STREET— Paramount 

THE  story  isn't  a  knockout.  It's  the  suave  personality  of 
Adolphe  Menjou,  who  enacts  the  role  of  the  King  of 
Molvania,  that  puts  it  over.  It's  a  Menjou  picture  from  the 
start  to  the  finish.  His  subtle  and  captivating  charm  acts 
as  a  pivot  on  which  the  plot  of  the  story  rotates.  The  pic- 
ture is  centered  around  a  series  of  spicy  and  ultra-sophisti- 
cated situations  which  Monta  Bell,  the  director,  has  logi- 
cally developed  with  skill  and  freshness  without  shocking  the 
censorious. 

The  story  shows  in  a  humorous  and  entertaining  way  the 
life  of  a  bored  king  who  longed  to  be  loved  as  a  man.  Bessie 
Love  is  the  sweet  little  young  girl  with  whom  the  King  has 
a  delightful  romance.  Greta  Nissen's  beauty  and  gowns  are 
a  treat  for  the  eyes.    We're  warning  you — don't  miss  this. 


THE  EAGLE— United  Artists 

RUDOLPH  VALENTINO  changes  his  personality  three 
times  in  his  new  picture,  and  each  one  is  dashing  and 
fascinating  and  very  Valentino.  First,  he  is  a  young  lieu- 
tenant of  the  Czarina's  regiment,  brave  and  handsome  and 
desired  of  Catherine.  When  he  deserts  because  he  objects  to 
"boudoir  service,"  young  Dubrovsky  becomes  a  bandit,  the 
Black  Eagle,  seeking  to  avenge  a  wrong  done  his  father. 

Next  we  see  Rudy  impersonating  a  French  tutor  in  the 
house  of  his  enemy,  teaching  the  enemy's  beautiful  daughter. 
Dubrovsky  falls  in  love.    Shall  he  break  his  oath  of  vengeance? 

The  story  really  begins  when  Dubrovsky  becomes  the  Black 
Eagle.  The  finish  is  weak  and  the  characters  not  well  drawn. 
Vilma  Banky  is  Sam  Goldwyn's  gift  to  the  screen.  You  will 
like  Rudy  and  Vilma  and  the  picture,  in  spite  of  its  faults.

A  Review  of  the  J\[ew  Pictures 


THE  BIG  PARADE- Met ro-Goldnyv 

WAR,  not  from  the  cushioned  seat  of  a  government  job 
but  the  mud-splashed  perspective  of  a  cootie-bitten 
private,  has  been  brought  to  the  screen  by  King  Yidor's 
masterly  direction  of  "The  Big  Parade." 

Bitter,  grueling,  muddy  strife  in  all  its  tragedy  and  ironic 
humor  has  been  superbly  interwoven  with  rollicking 
comedy,  captivating  love  episodes  and  tender  romance.  It 
is  not  make-believe.  It  is  war  as  war  actually  is,  with 
soldiers  and  women  playing  their  parts  bravely  as  plain 
human  beings. 

The  story  is  simple — but  the  telling  is  great.  A  French 
maiden,  an  American  doughboy  and  his  two  modern  musket- 
eers. But  Vidor's  vast  sympathy  with  the  subject,  his  utter 
lack  of  mock  heroics  and  flag-waving  and  the  genius  he  dis- 
plays in  sweeping  his  audience  with  him.  even  to  the  shell- 
pocked  battleground,  is  unsurpassed  in  any  war  picture  ever 
filmed. 

John  Gilbert,  as  the  wealthy  private,  gives  a  splendid  in- 
terpretation of  the  character's  evolution  from  pampered 
youth  to  soul-shocked  veteran.  Renee  Adoree.  as  the 
charming  Melisande,  wins  the  hero  and  the  audience  by  her 
great  performance  of  the  French  peasant  girl.  The  laughs 
and  many  of  the  tears  go  to  Karl  Dane  as  the  gangling  mem- 
ber of  the  wartime  trio,  and  Tom  O'Brien  garners  his  share 
of  glory  as  the  third  musketeer.  Claire  McDowell's  mother 
role  is  illuminated  by  the  beauty  of  her  sincerity,  and 
Eobart  Bosworth,  Claire  Adams.  Robert  Ober  and  Rosa 
Marstini  are  excellent. 

This  is  a  truly  great  picture,  for  it  blends  the  color  and 
feeling  of  a  war  canvas  with  the  homely  intimacies  of  a 
doughboy's  kodak  record.

THE  SKYROCKET— Associated  Exhibitors 

DECIDEDLY  the  best  picture  about  motion  picture 
people  that  has  been  made  to  date,  and  also  brings  to 
the  screen  an  interesting  new  personality  in  Peggy  Hopkins 
Joyce.  Marshall  Neilan  has  caught  the  glamour  and 
Fascination  of  Hollywood,  and  with  the  valuable  aid  of  Miss 
Joyce,  who  is  apt  to  prove  quite  as  irresistible  on  the  screen 
as  she  has  in  real  life,  we  think,  has  transferred  them  to  the 
screen.  While  he  has  missed  some  of  the  bigger  and  deeper 
moments  of  the  stirring  novel  by  Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns, 
and  considerable  of  its  unusual  psychology,  Mr.  Neilan  has 
substituted  for  them  sequences  of  delightful  comedy  and 
very  moving  "kid  stuff,"  of  which  he  is  past  master. 

Miss  Joyce  proves  the  surprise  of  the  picture,  for  she  not 
only  photographs  exquisitely,  and  wears  superb  gowns  and 
jewels  as  well  as  anyone  has  ever  worn  them  on  the  screen. 
but  she  gives  an  excellent  performance  as  Sharon  Kimm,  the 
little  girl  from  the  other  side  of  the  railroad  tracks,  who  be- 
comes a  great  star.  Her  fragile,  blonde  loveliness  literally 
illumines  the  film,  and  under  Mr.  Neilan's  able  guidance,  she 
acts  with  creditable  naturalness  and  often  with  deep  feeling. 
Every  woman  in  America  will  undoubtedly  go  to  see  "The 
Skyrocket"  for  a  look  at  this  most  famous  "vampire"  of  our 
age  and  probably  a  good  many  of  the  men,  but  the  surprising 
thing  is  that  they  are  bound  to  find  Peggy  Hopkins  Joyce  not 
only  a  beauty,  but  a  thoroughly  competent  actress. 

Of  the  men,  honors  must  go  to  Earle  Williams  as  Dvorak, 
the  star-maker  director.  This  is  Mr.  Williams'  first  attempt 
at  the  polished  villain,  and  it  is  a  triumph.  Owen  Moore  is 
his  usually  attractive  self,  Sammy  Cohen  gives  some  great 
comedy,  and  the  two  kiddies  of  the  first  reel  deserve  unstinted 
praise. 


CLASSIFIED— First  National 

CORINNE  GRIFFITH  as  Babs,  the  beautiful  but 
smart  New  York  working  girl,  gives  a  surprisingly  clever 
performance  in  this  Edna  Ferber  story.  She  is  so  human  and 
real  that  you  forget  it  is  Miss  Griffith,  "the  screen's  most 
beautiful." 

It  takes  Edna  Ecrber  to  write  about  the  folks  who  work 
every  day,  eat  "supper,"  and  buy  radios. 

Jack  Mulhall  is  a  garage  mechanic  with  the  independence 
of  a  big  butter  and  egg  man.  His  rival.  Ward  Crane,  is  a 
very  human  silk  hatter  from  Fifth  Avenue.  Edythe  Chap- 
man and  Charley  Murray  as  Ma  and  Pa,  are  perfect.  Oh, 
5  es,  Corinne  gets  a  chance  to  wear  gorgeous  clothes.  How 
she  gets  them  is  where  the  plot,  if  any.  comes  in. 

Some  of  the  smart  cracks  in  the  subtitles  are  prio 


LORD  JIM -Paramount 

SINCE  Lord  Jim  was  bound  to  come  to  the  screen.  Percy 
Marmont  is  the  only  motion  picture  actor  who  could  have 
made  this  drama  of  conscience  appear  even  remotely  real. 
The  soul  struggle  of  the  man  Jim,  as  Conrad  created  him, 
was  obviously  extremely  difficult  to  visualize,  and  Director 
Victor  Fleming  deserves  great  credit  for  the  result  of  his 
effort  to  translate  mental  operations  into  pictures. 

Although  the  picturization  of  Conrad's  finest  work  is 
sometimes  disappointing  to  the  student  of  Conrad  it  is  good 
entertainment  and  is  replete  with  drama  and  romance. 
There  is  an  unhappy  ending  to  Conrad's  story.  We  must 
thank  the  producer  for  flying  in  the  face  of  so-called  box- 
office  showmanship  and  not  changing  it,  but  it  is  done  with 
such  feeling  that  it  will  be  and  ought  to  be  appreciated.

5£F£N  K£F5  TO  BALDP ATE— Paramount 

A  CORKING  comedy-melodrama  with  Douglas  Mac- 
Lean  as  a  negligent  author  who  has  to  write  a  book  in 
twenty-four  hours  or  lose  his  sweetheart,  the  publisher's 
daughter.  It  has  one  of  the  surprise  finishes  that  the  man- 
agement requests  you  not  to  divulge  to  your  friends  who 
haven't  seen  it.  For  this  reason  you  should  see  the  picture 
from  the  beginning. 


THE  BEAUTIFUL  CITY— First  National 

A  DECIDED  drop  from  the  recent  Richard  Barthelmess 
offerings.  Besides  the  weak  story  there  is  nothing  that 
calls  for  any  of  the  emotional  acting  that  Dick  can  handle 
with  such  feeling.  Something  is  lacking  through  the  entire 
picture  and  that  little  something  is  PEP.  Dorothy  Gish  i- 
not  particularly  impressive,  and.  as  usual,  William  PowcU 
gives  a  polished  performance.

THE  RO,4D  TO  YESTERDAY—  Produce!  s  Dist. 

BEAUTIFUL  photography  forms  the  background  for  a 
muddled  story.  It  starts  with  Joseph  Schildkraut  defy- 
ing God  with  a  broken  arm.  He  is  married  to  Jetta  Goudal, 
one  of  those  wives  in  name  only.  Involved,  in  a  train  wreck, 
they  go  back  to  a  dim  past  where  almost  everything  hap- 
pens, entirely  without  visible  reason.  What  it  all  means 
you'll  have  to  find  out  from  Cecil  De  Mille,  who  created  it. 


THE  CLASH  OF  THE  WOLVES— Warner  Brothers 

AGAIX  Rin-Tin-Tin  has  us  all  enthused  over  his  splendid 
performance.  This  dog  is  the  most  sympathetic  and 
human  creature  on  the  screen  today.  There  are  limes  when 
we  think  the  dog  actually  sheds  tears — and  if  he  doesn't 
make  you — .  A  splendid  story  enhances  the  acting  abilities 
of  Rinny  and  the  other  members  of  the  cast  including  June 
Marlowe,  Charles  Farrcll  and  Pat  Hartigan. 


LIGHTS  OF  OLD  BROADWAY— Metro-Goldwyn 

WELL,  well,  what  happened  to  Monta  Hell  here?  His 
direction  places  this  in  the  mediocre  class.  Where  are 
all  his  clever  touches?  And  as  for  Marion  Da  vies — she's  had 
much  better  vehicles  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  p.a.'s  report 
this  her  best  role  since  "Little  Old  New  York."  Marion 
plays  a  dual  role  sounds  intricate  but  it  isn't.  One  of 
them  could  have  been  cut  out  -that's  how  important  it  is.

THE  BEST  PEOPLE— Paramount 

MILD  entertainment.  Sidney  Olcott  has  turned  out  bet- 
ter pictures  than  this — but  what  could  he  do  under  the 
circumstances? — this  has  no  story  backing.  The  plot  deals 
with  the  conflict  between  the  parents  and  children  of  a  blue 
blood  family.  The  parents  insist  on  a  marriage  to  aristoc- 
racy and  the  children  prefer  people  from  the  ordinary  walk 
of  life,  and  all  that  sort  of  thing. 


THE  NEW  COMM  [NDMENT    First  National 

THOU  Shalt  Not  Doubt.  Sorry,  1  can't  inform  you  who 
the  Lawgiver  is.  A  romantic  story  of  a  wealthy  boy  who 
falls  in  love  with  an  artist's  model.  Through  a  misunder- 
standing he  doubts  his  sweetheart.  And  then  t hi-  war  came 
and  amidst  the  clearance  of  the  smoke  of  battle  tin-  lovers 
are  reunited.  Tweet,  l'weet.  The  sets,  photography,  and 
the  war  scenes  are  splendid.     Excellent  entertainment. 


LAZYBONES— Fox 

BUCK  JONES  gives  a  splendid  characterization  that  is 
quite  different  from  liis  usual  wild  and  woolly  Western 
he-man  stuff.  It  is  rather  doubtful  if  this  will  please  his  fans 
who  like  Buck  when  he  is  shootin'  up  the  town.  A  story  of 
small  town  people  which  is  told  in  a  direct  and  wholly  un- 
pretentious manner.  The  supporting  cast  consists  of  .Madge 
Bellamy,  Jane  Novak,  ZaSu  Pitts  and  Leslie  r'enton. 


NEW  BROOMS— Paramount 

EVIDENTLY  William  de  Mille  had  the  idea  he  would 
sweep  us  oil  our  feet  with  this  comedy-drama.  Instead, 
it  impressed  us  as  a  mildly  amusing  affair  with  everyone  in 
i he  cast  overacting,  with  the  exception  of  Bessie  Love.  The 
story  is  woven  around  the  son  of  a  broom  manufacturer  who 
thinks  he  can  run  the  business  better  than  his  father,  and 
result   he  almost  ruins  it. 


GO  WEST—Metro-Golduyn 

IT'S  rather  a  sad  state  of  affairs  when  our  old  friend  Buster 
Keaton  can't  put  over  the  laughs.  He  prances  around 
with  that  frozen  look  on  his  face  trying  to  be  funny  and  with 
the  aid  of  a  big  cow  does  his  best  with  an  improbable  story. 
The  gags  are  not  what  they  should  be  and  they  don't  come 
fast  enough.  But  all  tastes  are  different — you  will  get  a  few- 
laughs  out  of  it,  anyhow. 


THE  ANCIENT  HIGHWAY— Paramount 

NOW,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  we  have  a  rush  of  log  jam- 
mings and  it  looks  as  though  they  will  be  as  popular  as 
the  cattle  stampedes.  The  hero  helps  the  heroine  from  a 
scheming  villain  who  is  trying  to  obtain  her  timber  lands. 
Naturally,  he  accomplishes  the  impossible  and  bye-bye  Mr. 
Villain.  Oh,  by  the  way,  the  villain  is  none  other  than  the 
old  time  favorite,  Montagu  Love.    Passable. 


OLD  CLOTHES—  Metro-Goldwyn 

THIS  picture  will  not  bring  Jackie  Coogan  any  new  fans. 
He  is  frankly  homely,  with  a  homeliness  that  lacks 
charm.  Still  without  a  haircut,  he  appears  to  be  in  a  state 
of  arrested  development.  When  the  thin  story  gives  him 
a  chance  to  act,  he  overacts. 

Joan  Crawford,  a  newcomer,  is  interesting.

DOUG  FAIRBANKS  is  "the  perfect  athlete"  of  the 
pictures. 
Doug  is  a  wrestler,  a  boxer,  a  swimmer,  a  gymnast, 
an  expert  swordsman. 

Keeping  fit  is  more  than  a  religion  to  Doug — it  is  a  pleasure — 
and  nothing  could  keep  him  from  his  daily  workouts  in  the  gym- 
nasium, or  his  fast  and  furious  sets  of  "Doug" — a  sort  of  indoor 
tennis  game  he  has  invented — at  the  close  of  his  day's  work  on  a 
picture.  When  he  is  between  pictures  most  of  his  time  is  de- 
voted to  athletics. 

In  Doug's  Gang  are  athletes  of  all  kinds,  descriptions  and 
nationalities.  There  are  wrestlers,  box  fighters,  and  swords- 
men, strong  men,  gymnasts  and  swimmers.  If  Doug  lived  in 
the  feudal  days  they  would  certainly  be  called  his  henchmen. 
Today  they  are  called  his  trainers,  sparring  partners,  opponents 
and  playmates. 

And  these  retainers  of  Doug  all  double  in  brass.  Like  the 
star,  their  exercise  and  athletic  prowess  are  their  life,  their 
happiness,  but  none  of  them  are  lazy.  Now,  with  Doug  making 
"The  Black  Pirate,"  they  are  as  villainous  a  band  as  one  could 
hope  to  see — for  all  are  acting  in  the  picture.  Within  a  few 
months  they  may  be  a  band  of  Mexican  Bad  Men.  Not  so  long 
ago  they  were  a  part  of  Robin  Hood's  loyal  Merry  Men. 


Chris  Michael  was

Bob  Roper,  terror  of  the  prize  ring,  is  a  college  man

leaving  college  he  entered  the  army,  serving  in  the 
Philippines  and  World  War.  He  has  132  fights  to  his 
credit,  among  which  he  knocked  out  Frank  Moran 
and  fought  two  no  decision  bou;s  with  Tommy  Gib- 
bons and  Bill  Brennan

Photoplay's  Intelligence  Test 

NUMBER  TWO 

Are  you  movie  wise?     Here  is  a  test  of  your  film  \nowledge  and  memory.     Get  up  a 
party,  have  a  contest  and  send  out  your  prizes  next  month  when  the  answers  are  given 

Compiled  by  E.  Lyle  McMullen 


HOW  much  do  you  know  about  motion  pictures? 
Are  you  a  real  fan? 
Here  is  an  intelligence  test,  patterned  after  the 
mental  and  psychology  tests  used  in  many  of  the  large 
universities.  Get  a  pencil  and  try  your  luck  with  it.  You 
ought  to  be  able  to  answer  all  the  questions  in  twenty  or 
twenty-five  minutes.  Naturally,  you  must  play  fair  with  your- 
self and  not  consult  any  magazine  or  newspapers. 

If  you  make  less  than  ten  mistakes,  you  may  rate  yourself 
as  having  an  excellent  knowledge  of  the  movies.  If  you  make 
from  eleven  to  twenty  errors,  you  are  only  a  casually  good  fan. 
With  from  twenty-one  to  thirty,  you  are  just  fair.  And  if  you 
make  more  than  thirty,  you  may  mark  yourself  as  poor  and  go 
to  the  foot  oi  the  class.

On  the  right  stands  he  who,  with  Director  Mai  St.  Clair,  conquered  the  proud  Pola — none  other  than  our  old  pal, 
Chester  Conklin.    He  did  not  win  her  heart.    He  won  her  with  laughter 

How  Pola  Was  Tamed 

But  strangely  enough  she  tamed  herself  by  her  own  sense  of  humor 


-with  her  own 


FOR  three  years  they  tried  every  means 
to   tame   that    fascinating   tiger-cat — 
Pola  Negri. 
And  now  the  funniest  thing  in  the 
world  has  happened.     Pola  has  licked  herself 
sense  of  humor. 

You  probably  remember  the  tales  that  went  forth  when  Pola 
burst  upon  Hollywood  and  scared  the  whole  darned  industry 
out  of  its  wits — and  that  wasn't  the  half  of  it,  dearie. 

As  the  years  rolled  by,  they  imported  directors  and  diplomats, 
they  employed  force  and  diplomacy,  and 
succeeded  in  teaching  Pola  to  purr  lazily  _— — _ — . ___ — _ 

and  keep  her  claws  sheathed  as  long  as  she 
got,  figuratively  speaking,  all  the  raw 
meat  she  wanted. 

But  let  anyone  cross  her,  or  try  to  make 
her  do  anything  she  didn't  want  to,  or 
take  anything  away  from  her  that  she  did 
want  to  do,  or  count  her  as  less  variable 
than  the  winds  of  heaven — and  the  old, 
flaming  Pola  arose  in  her  wrath  and  cowed 
them  once  more  into  submission. 


By  Ivan  St.  Johns 


"'"PHESE  drivers  who  navigate 
their  automobiles  with  one  arm 
wouldn't  be  so  dangerous,"  Walter 
Hires,  rotund  comedian,  paused  to 
remark  as  he  frantically  leaped 
sideways  just  in  time  to  save  his 
life,  "if  they  would  only  keep  one 
eye  on  the  road." 


Say  what  they  will  and  put  the  best  face  on 

it  they  can,  the  Lasky  lot  has  never  known  a 

really  peaceful  moment  since  Pola  was  turned 

loose  there  until  the  last  few  weeks. 

But  now  Pola  is  tamed,  beyond  any  question.    But  man  alone 

didn't  achieve  it.     Pola's  own  delicious  sense  of  humor  has 

proved  her  only  master.   - 

Where  once  Pola  came  to  the  studio  when  Pola  felt  like  it,  and 

not  one  second  sooner,  the  entire  executive  staff  to  the  contrary, 

now  she  beats  the  janitor  down  and  is  smiling  sweetly  on  the 

front  step  when  he  arrives.    Where  on  all 

__^^^^^^^_  of  her  previous  pictures  Pola  gave  the 

business  office  heart  failure  every  few  days 

by  calmly  saying  for  maybe  a  week  on  end 

— and  the  overhead  going  on  all  the  time 

— that  she  didn't  feel  like  working,  on  this 

picture  she  hasn't  missed  a  dav. 

Why? 

"Because,"  says  Pola,  with  a  giggle, 
"we  have  such  fun.'.' 

Mai  St.  Clair,  the  young  director  who 
came  to  Paramount  via  the  newspaper 


.-.; 


cartoonist-Mack  Scnnett  route,  and  is  being  acclaimed  every- 
where as  the  coming  Griffith  of  the  new  generation,  is  the  little 
boy  who  brought  the  miracle  to  pass. 

When  they  selected  Mai  to  direct  Pola's  latest  picture,  "The 
Tatoocd  Countess,"  they  called  him  into  conference  and  ex- 
plained the  matter  to  him  in  detail.  It  was  a  good  deal  like 
asking  a  man  who  kept  a  cat  and  dog  store  to  take  the  lion- 
tamer's  place  in  the  circus.  As  soon  as  it  was  announced  that 
Mai  was  to  direct  Negri,  everybody  rallied  around.  He  got  so 
much  free  advice  on  how  to  handle  the  untamed  and  untam- 
able Pola  that  he  was  dizzy  with  it. 

The  first  clash  came  when  Mai  broke  the  news  to  her  that  he 
was  going  to  get  Chester  Conklin  to  play  in  the  production. 
Pola  raged  and  raved,  and  sparks  of  the  well-known  Negri 
temperament  flew  from  her  black  eyes. 

Now  she  adores  Chester.  He  tickles  her  to  death.  Mai,  who 
was  a  comedy  director  and  cartoonist,  makes  her  laugh  from 
morning  till  night    Pola  is  entertained — that's  the  answer. 

One  thing  Pola  had  never  done  and  would  never  do.  She  had 
never  been  on  location.     I  mean  to  say 

that  was  just  one  of  those  things  that  ^z=^=^=. 

couldn't  happen.  Well,  in  her  new  picture 
they  had  to  go  on  location  to  Pleasanton, 
which  is  a  small  town  about  three  hours 
out  of  San  Francisco.  Pola  lifted  her  eye- 
brows, shrugged  her  shoulders  and  said, 
"Certainly  not.  Maybe  i  might  go  to 
San  Francisco  and  stay  there — maybe 
not.  Build  a  set  here."  The  company, 
viewing  thousands  of  dollars  taking  unto 
themselves  wings,  groaned. 

Mai  St.  Clair,  genius  of  comedy,  didn't 
groan.  He  said,  "All  right,  Pola.  Don't 
you  do  it."  Then  he  and  Chester  Conk- 
lin got  together.  Every  time  Pola  came 
on  the  set,  they  had  their  heads  together, 
whispering.  Pola  eyed  them.  She  sidled 
over,   and  listened.     They  were  talking 


TJ"ERE  are  pearls  of  wisdom  for 
A  "'■young  mothers. 

They  fell  from  the  lips  of  Mildred 
Davis  Lloyd  when  she  was  discuss- 
ing Mildred  Gloria,  Harold  Lloyd's 
little  daughter. 

Like  most  other  mothers,  Mil- 
dred had  been  having  trouble  to  get 
Mildred  Gloria  to  eat,  and  here  is 
how  she  solved  the  problem. 

"I  got  a  lot  of  dishes  with  pic- 
tures in  the  bottom.  Mildred 
Gloria  loves  pictures — especially  of 
animals — and  now  she  empties  her 
dish  in  a  hurry  just  to  find  out  what 
the  picture  is." 


about  all  the  fun  they  were  going  to  have  on  location  in  Pleas- 
anton. ''Gee,  Pola,"  said  Mai.  "  You  got  no  idea  what  fun  you 
can  have.  The  villagers  all  turn  out  to  see  you,  and  everybody 
plays  jokes  on  each  other  in  the  company.     It's  great." 

Pola  scowled.  "  You  live  in  Pleasanton.  I  live  in  San  Fran- 
cisco and  drive  back  and  forth."  said  Pola. 

Mai  never  said  a  word.  The  morning  the  troupe  was  to 
leave,  Pola  appeared  on  the  platform  with  her  maid  and  a 
large,  bonneted  woman  who  looked  as  though  she  didn't  speak 
English.    "Who  in  the  world  is  that?"  said  Mai  St.  Clair. 

"That,"  said  Pola,  ''is  my  cook." 

"Now  where  in  the  world  are  you  going  with  a  cook,  Pola?" 

I  AM  going  to  Pleasanton,  for  location,"  said  Pola.     "You 
think  you  go  and  leave  me  out  of  all  that  fun?    Not  Pola." 
And  let  me  tell  you  that  Pleasanton  belongs  to  Pola  now. 
She  romped  all  over  that  little  town,  made  friends  with  every- 
body in  it — the  unapproachable  Pola — and  they  ended  up  by 
declaring  the  last  day  of  her  stay  a  legal  holiday. 

More  than  that  they  gave  the  kids  a 
•  day  off  from  school  to  go  and  watch  Pola 

work.  Now  in  the  Lasky  studio,  as  you 
may  or  may  not  know,  Pola's  set  is  usu- 
ally muffled  in  black.  No  one — and  when 
I  say  no  one,  I  mean  no  one — is  allowed 
to  enter  the  sacred  portals  while  Miss 
Negri  is  working,  without  her  consent. 
If  somebody  gets  in  by  mistake,  be  he 
admiral,  vice-president,  or  just  Adolph 
Zukor,  who  owns  the  company,  Pola  may 
throw  a  tantrum  that  makes  him  think 
the  battle  of  the  Marne  was  a  Fourth  of 
July  picnic. 

But  the  kids  all  came  and  watched  her 
work  all  day,  and  adored  her,  and  she 
played  games  with  them,  and  when  they 
left  she  knew  even-  one  of  them  by  name.

By  Octavus  Roy  Cohen 

JIMMY  CLAXTON,  head  cameraman  of  the  Cyril  Waring 
unit,  Superb  Pictures  Corporation,  looked  up  interestedly 
as  the  door  slammed  behind  the  somewhat  disheveled  figure 
of  a  very  young  and  earnest  gentleman. 
Jimmy,  who  was  an  owlish  person,  blinked  amusedly  behind 
unconscionably  heavy  lenses  and  addressed  a  remark  to  his 
visitor — 

"And  now,-'  he  inquired,  "what  ails  the  Boy  Wonder?" 
"Plenty!"  The  word  crackled  across  the  room  as  Rodney 
Archer  probed  into  a  pocket  of  his  sport  trousers  for  the  docu- 
mentary evidence.  This  was  a  yellow  slip  of  paper  bearing  the 
insignia  of  a  large  and  popular  telegraph  company,  and  Roddy 
slammed  it  on  the  table  before  Jimmy. 

"Read  that!"  he  snarled.     "Read  that  and  help  me  weep." 
Jimmy  Claxton  read  the  annoying  wire  from  the  home  office:

ELBERT  CARLISLE  President 

As  Jimmy  Claxton  perused  the  missive,  his  eyes  crinkled  at 
the  corners  and  a  slow  smile  creased  his  lips. 

"I  should  judge,"  he  hazarded,  returning  the  telegram  to  his 
superior,  "that  Elbert  has  taken  occasion  to  become  peeved.'' 

"He  has!  And  that  makes  it  unanimous  because  I'm  twice 
as  peeved  as  he  is.  And  if  you  get  off  any  of  your  famous  wise 
cracks  in  the  next  sixty  minutes,  Jimmy,  one  head  cameraman 
is  going  to  be  found  murdered." 

"Why  me,  Roddy?  Why  a  poor  worm  of  a  camera  chaperone? 
Why  not  perform  this  little  job  of  manslaughter  on  your  esti- 
mable cousin,  that  scintillating  star  of  the  silver  sheet:  namely 
and  to  wit,  Mister  Cyril  Waring." 

Roddy  clinched  his  fists.  "  I'd  like  to.  The  way  that  guy  lias 
been  carrying  on — " 

"Can  you  blame  him,  son?  This  is  an  old  story,  but  a  de- 
licious one,  with  Cyril.  One  might  even  guess  that  women  are  a 
weakness  with  him.  He  can't  resist  them  and  he  isn't  particu- 
larly keen  about  trying.  You  see,  with  his  contract  he  doesn't 
have  to  worry  about  release  dates  and  such  minor  things.  And 
as  for  a  mere  six  thousand  dollar  daily  overhead — " 

"Sure!  Rave  on,  Jimmy.  I  can  see  that  you're  going  to 
help  me  a  lot.  But  let's  turn  the  record  over  on  the  other  side 
and  see  what  tune  it  plays.    Can  you  guess?" 

"Uh-huh.  A  somewhat  mournful  ditty  entitled:  'Death  of  a 
Boy  Director'." 

45 


"Exactly.  I'm  him.  And  where  do  I  get  off?  If  I  wire 
Carlisle  that  my  estimable  cousin  is  gallivanting  around  per- 
forming his  best  society  tricks  and  squiring  many  ladies  and  one 
in  particular:  if  I  state  baldly  thai  1  cannot  make  him  come  out 
on  location— what  then?  The  caustic  Mister  Carlisle  will  wire 
back  notifying  mo  that  he  is  sending  a  director  who  can  assem- 
ble his  company  for  direction  and  I  will  become  of  less  impor- 
tance than  one  noodle  in  a  bowl  of  soup." 

"Keno!"  grinned  Claxton.  "The  ayes  have  it!  Looking  at 
the  situation  from  each  and  every  angle,  my  friend,  it  seems 
that  Cousin  Cyril  has  you  on  that  portion  of  your  elegant 
anatomy  popularly  known  as  the  hip.  Being  the  foremost  star 
in  the  Superb  constellation  he  secures  for  his  young  cousin  that

That  night  Mrs.  Gould  gave  a  bathing  party 


person's  first  assignment  as  a  director.  Being  said  director's 
cousin  and  benefactor,  he  proceeds  to  come  a  thousand  miles 
from  Xew  York  and  let  that  young  cousin  go  to.  Am  I  right?" 
"Right — yes.  But  listen  —  "  Roddy  Archer  leaned  across 
the  writing  table  " — You  aren't  talking  anything  but  words. 
It's  all  old  stuff  to  me.  You  can't  say  anything  about  the  whole 
rotten  mess  that  I  haven't  said  to  myself  a  thousand  times. 
I've  got  to  get  results  and  I  can't.  Why?  Because  I'm  an  un- 
tried director  and  my  great  star  refuses  to  act.  For  everything 
which  goes  right  he  gets  the  credit — for  all  mistakes,  I'm  the 


at  the  river.     Cyril  couldn't  resist  her  coaxing 


goat.  And  he  hasn't  been  out  on  location  for  three  days — for 
eighteen  thousand  dollars'  worth  of  hours.  New  York  is  scream- 
ing. The  treasurer  has  probably  had  a  nervous  breakdown — 
and  we're  precisely  ten  days  behind  schedule.  So  the  reason  I 
have  come  to  you.  Mr.  Wise  Jimmy  Claxton.  is  to  ask  you  for 
God's  sake  what  can  I  do?  " 

Claxton  ceased  to  smile  and  his  eyes  glowed  with  rare  warmth. 

"  Thanks,  Kid.  I'd  like  to  help.  My  personal  opinion  is  that 
Cyril  Waring  is  dealing  marked  cards  and  giving  you  all  the 
deuces." 


"  Yeh — that's  no  news.    If  he'd  only  work — " 

"Have  you  talked  to  him?" 

"  Sure.  Sure  I  have.  A  dozen  times.  And  he  pats  me  on  the 
shoulder  and  tells  me  to  run  along  and  not  worry." 

"Isn't  that  thoughtful  of  him." 

"He  tells  me  to  finish  all  the  shots  where  he's  not  needed — 
he'll  take  care  of  schedule.  And  usually  he  winds  up  by  asking 
where  we're  shooting  the  next  morning  and  promising  to  be  on 
the  set  by  ten  o'clock  sharp.    You  know  what  that  means?" 

"Oh  certainlv.  I've  burned  manv  lights  waiting  for  Cousin 
Cyril." 

"I  can't  kick  and  I've  got  to  kick.  I  can't  get  film  and  New

Billy  Bennett's  Mother 


One  of  the  screen's

eight  years  ago  when  she  played 

star    roles    in    many    Triangle 

pictures 


^Wk. 


Stella  Dallas  watching  the  mar- 
riage of  her  daughter  for  whose 
happiness  she  has  made  herself 
an  outcast 


BILLY  BENNETT'S  mother.  That  is  her 
proudest  title.  Those  are  the  words  she 
listens  for  above  the  empty  plaudits  of  the 
multitude,  just — Billy's  mother.  She  does 
not  even  see  the  naming  signs  that  at  last  pro- 
claim her  greatness.  For  her  eyes  strain  always 
to  see  beyond  the  valley  of  the  shadow,  that  she 
may  find  there  some  proof  that  she  is  Billy's 
mother  still. 

Fame  has  come  to  Belle  Bennett,  and  gold,  and 
glory.  But  what  are  these  things  to  Billy's 
mother  now?  They  are  saying  everywhere  that 
her  performance  of  Stella  Dallas  is  the  great  screen 
performance  of  all  time. 

But  when  you  know  the  price  she  paid  for  it, 
you  will  know  with  her  that  it  is  dust  and  ashes 
unless  it  may  be  that  its  distilled  tears  fall  upon 
the  heart  of  the  world  and  soften  it  toward  all 
motherhood. 

IT  tears  the  very  heart  out  of  you  to  see  Belle 
Bennett  as  Slclla  Dallas,  that  poor,  cheap  crea-  Billy  Bennett 

ture  whose  motherhood  alone  was  great.     It  is 
the  best  mother  story,  the  best  mother  part  ever 
produced.     Beautifully  acted,  beautifully  directed.     But  that 
alone  would  not  move  people  to  such  tears  as  I  never  thought 
to  see  follow  any  motion  picture.    That  alone  would  not  wring 
sobs — sobs — from  men  and  women. 

No.     It  is  something  more  than  that  that  reaches  out  and 
stirs  your  very  heart  and  soul  to  cry 

forth  that  no  mot  her  should  be  cruci-  __________ 

fied,  as  all  mothers  are  crucified, 
that  makes  you  suffer  when  Stella 
Dallas  gives  up  her  daughter  as 
though  your  own  child  had  been 
torn  from  your  breast. 

And  that  something  is  the  sorrow 
of  Billy  Bennett's  mother.  The 
ache  of  her  heart  beats  through 
it.  You  feel  the  emptiness  of  her 
arms. 

For  you  see,  five  weeks  before 
Belle  Bennett  was  to  start  upon  tin- 
picture  of  her  golden  opportunity, 
Billy  admitted  that  he  didn't  feel 
very  well.  Just  a  tummyache,  he 
said.     But    then.   Billy  was  always 


/"\NLY  two  days  before  she  played  the  great 
^'scene  where  Stella  Dallas  gives  up  her 
sixteen-year-old  daughter,  Belle  Bennett  had 
kissed  her  sixteen-year-old  son  upon  his  quiet, 
closed  eyes  for  the  last  time. 

"I  worked  on  in  the  picture,"  said  Belle  Bennett, 
quietly.     "I  had  to." 

I  saw  her,  in  the  bedizened  finery  of  Stella 
Dallas,  touching  that  fine  pillow  upon  which  her 
daughter's  head  was  to  rest  though  she  would 
never  see  it  there — and  going  home  to  touch  the 
bright-striped  blazer  and  the  new  Oxford  bags 
that  had  been  the  pride  of  Billy's  heart. 


like  that.  When  he  broke  his  arm  at  football, 
nobody  knew  it  until  the  coach  discovered  it 
ten  days  later.  A  week  before  she  was  to  begin 
work,  Billy  gave  up  his  gallant  young  fight,  put 
his  hands  in  hers  and  said,  like  a  tired  child, 
"I'm  through,  Mummy." 

And  so  only  two  days  before  she  played  the 
great  scene  where  SleJla  Dallas  gives  up  her  six- 
teen-year-old daughter,  Belle  Bennett  had  kissed 
her  sixteen-year-old  son  upon  his  quiet,  closed 
eyes  for  the  last  time.  ''I  worked  on  in  the  pic- 
ture," said  Belle  Bennett,  quietly.    "I  had  to." 

AS  she  said  it,  somehow,  do  you  know,  I  saw 
her  doing  it.    I  saw  her  playing  that  heart- 
broken mother,  standing  outside  in  the  rain  with 
the  mob,  staring  through  the  window  for  just  one 
glimpse  of  her  baby  in  her  wedding  gown — and 
fresh  in  her  heart  that  hospital  window  that  had 
been  the  first  thing  and  the  last  thing  to  which 
her  eyes  flew  when  the  nurses  persuaded  her  to  go 
out  and  get  a  little  fresh  air.     I  saw  her  in  the 
bedizened  finery  of  Strlla  Dallas,  touching  that 
fine  pillow  upon  which  her  daughter's  head  was 
to  rest  though  she  would  never  see  it  there — ami  going  home  to 
touch  the  bright-striped  blazer  and  the  new  Oxford  bags  that 
had  been  the  pride  of  Billy's  heart. 

"You — miss  them  so,"  she  said  to  me.     "You  sort  of — feel 
for  them,  early  in  the  morning,  before  you're  really  awake. 

Ami  when  you  are  awake,  you  re- 
_______________  member    that    —    I    don't    know 

whether  I  should  have  had  the 
courage  of  Stella  Dallas.  It's  quite 
difficult  to  say.  To  give  them  up, 
even  for  their  good,  when  you  could 
have  them — I  don't  know." 

It  stood  on  her  table,  in  a  little 
silver  frame. 


"  Tlic  little-  toy  dog   is  covered  with 

dust. 
But  sturdy  and  staunch  he  stands. 
And  the  little  tin  soldier  is  red  with 

rust. 
And  his  musket  molds  in  his  hands.

THERE  are,  fortunately,  few  stories  as  poignant  as  that  of  Belle  Bennett.  A  struggling  actress, 
she  was  finally  awarded  one  of  the  biggest  parts  ever  written,  the  mother  role  in  "Stella

PRETTY  Shirley  Mason  has  been  at  the  business  of  acting  since  her  babyhood.     A  wise  little 
trouper,  she  early  learned  the  advantage  of  hitching  her  wagon  to  a  star.    The  star  was  her  sister, 
Viola  Dana.    On  the  opposite  page,  Jim  Tufly  gives  her  history.

The  Girl  Who  Kept  Step 


IfS  awfully  hard  lor  a  little  girl  to  follow  her 
sister's  footsteps — if  her  sister  walks  very 
and    anyone    will    admit    that    Viola 
Dana  has  hiked  far  in  pictures.    But  this  ar- 
ticle ain't  about  Viola  Dana — it  concerns  her  little  sister  with 
a  happy  smile  who  has  finally  managed  to  keep  step. 

Vou  see  it  was  this  way.  Viola  had  quite  a  start — she  was  a 
dever  little  actress  when  Shirley  was  two  years  old.  Shirley 
tried  to  keep  step  then — and  she  turned  her  ankle  and  sat 
awfully  hard  on  the  floor — in  the  manner  of  a  two-year  old. 
Shirley's  real  name  is  Flugrath — and  may  the  Lord  have  mercy 
on  us  for  savin'  it — it's  no  wonder  she  changed  it  to  Mason. 
She  acts  and  talks  like  a  cute  little  Irish-American  girl — but  the 
main  factor  of  the  article  is  the  fact  that  her  real  name  is  Flu- 
grath. She  may  be  German — or  French — or  Swedish,  or  a 
mixture  of  all  of  these — but  she  is  not  Irish-American. 

Shirley's  father  was  a  printer.  But  her  father's  wife  decided 
that  the  little  Flugrath  tots  should  have  careers.  Now  when 
a  woman  by  the  name  of  Flugrath  decides  that  her  daughters 
should  have  careers,  it  is  well  for  the  Keepers  of  Destinies  to 
make  a  note  of  it.  Sometimes  I  feel  that  not  enough  is  said  of 
the  heroic  mothers  of  girls  in  films.  If  I  could  get  all  the  readers 
of  Photoplay  in  a  tent  on  a  meadow  in  Ireland,  I  could  many  a 
tale  unfold  of  self-sacrificing  devotion,  of 

women  who  worked  till  their  fingets  were  

raw.  who  telephoned  to  the  studios  day 
after  day,  who  have  the  undying  faith 
that  is  only  possessed  by  Motherhood — 
but  I  cannot  tell  these  tales  now — you  will 
all  know  what  I  mean. 

This  Mother  worked  hard  for  her 
daughters — and  for  her  dreams  of  them. 
She  was  always  with  her  children. 

There  are  no  doubt  a  million  children  in 
America  whose  parents  would  like  to  get 
i  hem  on  the  stage.  Mrs.  Flugrath  had  her 
little  daughter  Shirley  playing  with  no  less

"DABY  BRUCE  GUERIN,  who  has 
"^"^been  acting  in  pictures  since  he 
was  two  years  old,  started  to  kinder- 
garten this  term. 

When  his  mother  asked  him  how 
he  liked  school,  Bruce  said,  "Fine, 
mother;  we  had  three  fade-outs  to- 
day." 

This  was  his  impression  of  recess

;;  person  than  the  line  English  actor,  William 

Faversham.  in  "The  Squaw  Man,"  when  she  was 

four  years  old.    And  Shirley's  little  big  sister,  \  i. 

was  her  understudy. 

She  went  from  that  to  playing  the  part  of  Little  Meemie  with 

Thomas  Jefferson  in  "Rip  Van  Winkle."  She  toured  the  United 

States  with  this  company  until  she  was  seven  years  old. 

Of  course,  Mrs.  Flugrath  was  fortunate  in  having  a  daughter 
heaven-kissed  with  the  talent  of  acting. 

William  Faversham  had  kept  his  eye  on  Shirley  from  the  day 
she  left  him.  When  she  was  through  with  ''Rip  Van  Winkle" 
lie  paid  her  salary  for  nearly  half  a  year  to  hold  her  for  "The 
Barber  of  Xew  Orleans,"  in  which  he  appeared. 

T  ATER,  she  was  offered  the  job  of  being  understudy  for  Mar- 
guerite Clark  in  "  Snow  White."      Shirley  nearly  accepted — 
and  this  is  why  she  didn't.    She  talked  it  over  with  her  mother 
one  time — and  that  dominant  and  keen  woman  said  to  her: 

"Shirley,  dear,  you  must  always  remember  this— it  will  help 
you  in  the  years  to  come  when  your  mother  may  be  gone  from 
you — never  try  to  keep  step  with  too  many  people — you  see. 
my  dear  little  girl,  Marguerite  Clark  is  a  great  little  performer, 
and  she  is  stepping  awfully  fast  toward  a  sure  and  brilliant 
career.    Now.  dear,  if  you  try  to  kcx'p  stc;> 

with  her — your  little  legs  might  get  tired 

too  soon.  Here's  the  way  I  look  at  it. 
Vour  sister  Viola  is  beginning  to  ste> 
along  hetsclf — so  just  try  to  keep  pat  : 
with  her,  and  then  my  girls  will  step  right 
along  together." 

So  that  is  why  I  tell  here  for  the  fir-' 
time  to  a  palpitant  and  eager  world  why 
Shirley  followed  Viola  Dana — instead  of 
Marguerite  Clark. 

Now,  when  Shirley  was  eleven  years  cf 
age,  she  again  played  the  part  of  a  boy

How  to  Spoil  the  Effect  of 


The  wrong  way  to  wear  the  extremely  smart,  plain  black  6atin  dinner  gown  designed  for  Leatrice  Joy.    Notice  the 
destruction  of  the  graceful  lines  of  the  gown  and  the  messy  appearance  given  by  wearing  the  pearls  in  many  strands 


NO  doubt  you  have  heard  the  epigram  about  "It's  not 
so  much  what  you  say,  as  the  way  you  say  it."  You 
may  even  have  used  it  your- 
self, a  sort  of  "  when-you-call- 
mc-that-smile"  idea.  And  I've  heard 
tell  that  a  woman  may  say  "No"  and 
mean  "Yes,"  and  that  she  may  even 
say  "Yes"  and  intend  all  the  time  to 
act  "No." 

And  now  this  has  become  a  perfect 
illustration  of  the  truth  about  woman's 
clothes. 

For  there  has  arrived  in  Hollywood 
a  famous  designer,  one  of  those  chaps 
whose  lightest  word  sways  the  length 
of  skirt  and  the  position  of  the  waist- 
line, if  you  know  what  I  mean,  and 
says,  "  It  isn't  so  much  what  you  wear, 
as  (he  way  you  wear  it," 

He  goes  even  further.  He  says  that 
it  doesn't  make  any  difference  at  all 
how  stunning,  how  exquisite  a  frock 
may  be.  If  it  isn't  worn  well,  it  might 
just  as  well  be  a  table  cloth  or  a 
sheet. 

And,  says  he,  a  gown  of  the  most  ex- 
treme chic  may  look  like  a  work  of  a 
small  town  seamstress  and  thesimplest 
little  house  frock  look  like  a  model 
from  the  smartest  house  in  Paris  —  all 
because  of  the  way  they  are  worn. 

T  his  designer  i  s  y  o  u  n  g  Tr  a  vis 
Banton,  direct  from  Paris — and  though 


of  course  it's  Paris 
Texas,  because  he 


What  one  can  do  to  an  expensive  and 
beautifully  designed  Paris  model.  It 
looks  awkward  despite  its  richness 


France,  he  looks  as  though  it  might  be  Paris, 
has  the  outward  appearance  of  a  cowboy  or 
prizefighter  rather  than  a  male  dress- 
maker. 

And  in  truth  Banton  was  born  in 
Texas,  later  going  to  France  to  achieve 
fame  in  the  style  capital. 

They  brought  him  over  to  design 
costumes  for  Leatrice  Joy  and  the 
fourteen  beauties  of  "  The  Dressmaker 
from  Paris.'"  Paul  Bern's  picture. 

And  the  First  thing  he  did  was  to 
upset  everybody  by  these  startling 
theories.  "I  don't  care  so  much  about 
the  clothes,"  said  Mr.  Banton,  harshly. 
"But  these  women  have  got  to  learn 
to  wear  them.  That's  the  main 
thing." 

He  even  insisted,  to  the  complete 
horror  of  everybody  on  the  Lasky  lot, 
that  the  girls  take  the  gowns  home  and 
wear  them  around,  so  they'd  learn  to 
be  comfortable  in  them. 

"Never  wear  a  frock  in  public  until 
you've  become  thoroughly  acquainted 
with  it,"  he  shouted.  "It  can't  be 
done.  Learn  how  to  sit  and  stand  and 
walk  in  it.  Learn  how  to  give  it  the 
best  angles." 

And  they  do  say  that  there  was  al- 
most a  riot  when-onc  of  the  girls  leaned 
up  against  something. 

"Don't  lean  on  the  furniture,"  said

Beautiful  Clothes 


It  isn't  what  you  wear, 

it's  how  you  wear  it 


The  same  gown  properly  worn.   Compare  it  with  the  other  pictures.  The  train  should  be  caught  up  and  worn  loose. 
One  reason  why  a  woman  must  become  "well  acquainted"  with  a  gown   before  she  can  wear  it  to  advantage 


the  dictator  ot"  fashions.    "That's  a  dress  you're  wearing,  not  a 

piano  drape.    If  I'd  wanted  it  draped  on  the  piano,  I  would 

have  draped  it  there  myself.  Stand  up. 

What  is  the  use  of  laboring  for  hours  to 

create  a  line,  if  a  woman  slouches  over 

or  slinks  over  or  stands  like  a  wooden 

soldier,  or  leans  on  things?" 

He  also  insists  that  in  the  wearing  of 
hats,  every  woman  should  follow  this 
positive  rule: 

Keep  at  least  one  eyebrow  con- 
cealed  at  all  times. 

As  to  jewelry,  Mr.  Banton  says  it's 
better  to  wear  none  than  too  much, 
and  that  simplicity  should  always  be 
the  aim  and  end  of  all  effects  achieved 
by  jewelry. 

"Rings  can  be  worn  on  but  one 
finger  of  each  hand,"  says  he,  "and  if 
you  wear  more  than  one  ring  upon  one 
finger,  they  must  be  of  the  same  stones, 
unless  you  want  to  look  like  a  five  and 
ten  cent  store. 

"You  can  wear  many  bracelets,  but 
they  must  all  be  on  one  arm." 

The  two  things  everyone  who  wants 
to  be  well  dressed  must  possess,  accord- 
ing to  Mr.  Banton,  are  perfect  self- 
unconsciousness,  and  an  infinite  ca- 
pacity for  taking  pains  in  the  little 
details. 

After  reading  this,  the  wise  woman 
will  take  herself  in  hand  and  see  what's 


what.    Get  out  your

With  the  dash  and  chic  that  Miss 

Joy  gives  her  clothes,  the  same  gown 

is  perfect  for  afternoon  wear 


dresses  and  study  their  lines.    See  where 

useless  trimming  here  and  drape  the  skirt 

more  becomingly   there.     When  you 

finish,  it's  ten  to  one  your  gown  will  be 

twice  as  smart. 

If  you  have  a  new  evening  gown, 
purchased  especially  for  some  impor- 
tant function,  wear  it  around  the  house 
a  few  evenings  before  you  appear  in  it 
in  public.  Try  walking  in  it  and,  what 
is  more  important,  try  dancing  in  it. 
If  it  has  drapery,  see  that  you  learn  to 
manage  the  drapery. 

Remember  you  are  never  at  your 
best  if  you  are  "clothes  conscious." 
Try  on  your  hats  and  study  the  effect 
before  a  mirror.  See  whether  that  new 
hat  looks  best  with  the  hair  drawn 
down  on  the  cheeks  or  with  the  hair 
pushed  back  of  the  ears. 

And  remember,  too,  that  ease  and 
simplicity  are  the  greatest  assets  of  the 
woman  who  would  be  well  dressed. 

The  habit  of  studying  the  mirror 
doesn't  always  arise  from  feminine 
vanity.  It  may  be  the  perfectly  nat- 
ural— and  also  feminine — desire  to  look 
well. 

Your  mirror,  if  you  ask  its  candid 
advice,  will  prevent  you  from  wearing 
clothes  that  aren't  your  type.  It  will 
also  tell  you  the  good  points  to  accen- 
tuate and  the  bad  points  to  conceal.

WITH  Christmas 
so  close  at  hand 
I'm  decidedly 
handicapped  in 
airing  my  views.  You  never 
can  tell  when  a  friend  may 
start  reading  your  stuff  and 
get  offended,  and  there's  no 
time  when  people  take  of- 
fense so  easily  as  just  before 
Christmas.  Practically  all 
my  friends  were  offended

the  receipts.  Of  course  I 
was  abroad,  which  gave 
them  the  opportunity  to 
pull,  "We  didn't  know 
whether  anything  would 
reach  you  or  not."  It  did 
not--save  for  some  postal 
cards  from  a  few  brave  souls 
marked  "insufficient  post- 
age" 

But  there,  there,  we  can't 
expect  everything.  Put  on  a 
bright  smile  and  no  doubt 
(his  year  Santa  Claus  will 
fill  your  cellar  to  bulging. 

EVERY  once  in  a  while 
some  kind  soul  will  say, 
"The  thing  I  like  about  your 
wit  is  that  you  never  hurt 
anvbodv's  feelings." 

Well  'if  I  don't,  it  is  cer- 
tainly unintentional. 

MICHAEL  ARLEN,  the 
writing  sheik  from  Ar- 
menia, via  London,  made  his 
first  Hollywood  appearance 
(in  person)   at  Wednesday 

luncheon  in  Montmartre.  Mid-week  dejeuner  in  Montmartre 
is  a  regular  feature  boasting  more  stars  than  there  are  in 
Heaven — or  the  Metro-Goldwyn  place. 

Charlie  Chaplin  was  the  first  to  transfer  to  Michael's  table. 
He  talked,  and  Michael  nodded. 

Adolphc  Menjou  was  the  next  in  turn,  and  Michael  continued 
nodding. 

Later  Michael  was  presented  to  Pola  Negri,  and  the  nodding 
took  on  the  semblance  of  a  chronic  affliction. 

Michael  had  arrived  in  the  land  of  the  silent  actors  to  find 
that  it's  only  their  own  art  that  renders  them  speechless. 

Alice  Terry  sat  at  a  table  adjacent  to  Michael's.  She  said 
nothing,  but  she  wore  a  green  hat  which  was  a  tactful  way  of 
saying  a  greal  deal. 

Two  luncheons  later  and  Michael  was  talking  to  Alice.  And 
Alice  was  nodding. 

"  What  a  beautiful  day!  "  exclaimed  Michael  enthusiastically, 
whereupon  three  local  reporters  jotted  headlines:  "Arlen 
Charmed  by  California  Sunshine." 

"Just  the  sort  of  a  day,"  continued  Michael  "on  which  one 
gets  married  by  mistake." 

Certainly  no  climate  in  the  world  can  vie  with  California's  for 
mistakes. 

CHAPLIN  declared  opportunely  that  Allen's  "The  Green 
Hat"  is  the  greatest  love  slorv  written  since  "Romeo  and 
Juliet." 

When  this  impressive  edict  was  referred  to  Michael  he  showed

Michael  Arlen,  who  is  suspected  of  writing  "The  Green 

Bonnet,"  arrived  in  the  land  of  the  silent  actors  to  find 

that  it's  only  the  glory  of  their  own  art  that  renders 

them  speechless 


Evidently  Michael  had  met 
"one  of  those  sex-distractions."' 


signs  of  requiring  the  smell- 
ing salts. 

"It  seems  a  trifle  exag- 
gerated." he  said,  deferring 
politely  to  Shakespeare.  "I 
suppose  my  story  is  an  ex- 
traordinary romance — two 
people  loving  one  another 
for  eighteen  years.  But  it  is 
quite  plausible.  They  didn't 
see  one  another  during  the 
eighteen  years." 

BEFORE  arriving  in  Hol- 
lywood Michael's  coat 
received  as  much  publicity 
as  Joseph's,  though  by  no 
means  as  colorful.  Publicity 
hounds  went  on  the  scent 
for  a  descriptive  statement. 

"Really  there's  nothing 
unusual  about  my  coat."  in- 
sisted Michael,  drawing  the 
frightened  wrap  a  trifle 
closer,  "except  for  the  fact 
that  it  happens  to  be  well- 
made." 

Yet  what  could  be  more 
sensational,  when  you  think 
about  it.  than  a  writer  with 
a  well-made  coat?  And  if 
so.  why  hasn't  it  been  re- 
turned to  the  owner? 

A  LADY  of  cropped  hair 
and  Charleston  oscilla- 
tions, but  a  face  of  an  earlier 
period,  asked  Michael  if  it 
were  true  that  women  fasci- 
nated him  terribly.  Very 
calmly  he  replied,  "  Xot  just 
at  present." 
up  with   what    Xovarro    calls 


AN  ardent  admirer  recently  wrote  me  that  I  somehow  sug- 
gested Arlen,  or  vice  versa.  I  forget  which.  Doubtless  the 
similarity  was  a  matter  of  salary  rather  than  style,  yet  ever 
since  I've  been  quite  an  admirer  of  Michael.  I'm  moved  to 
further  agreement  by  his  opinion  of  Florence  Yidor  as  "The 
Grand  Duchess."  the  first  screen  royalty  to  make  me  bend  a 
knee  since  Alice  Terrv  was  the  lovely  queen  in  "The  Prisoner 
of  Zenda." 

He  says  that  in  Malcolm  St.  Chir's  picture  Florence  is  tire 
most  exquisite  creature  he  has  seen  in  pictures.  Furthennore, 
that  she  deserves  "The  Green  Hit." 

I  once  suggested  Florence  for  the  role  of  the  Vl'gin  in  Fapinrs 
"The  Life  of  Christ."  Fancy  that.  Hedda,  a  madonna  in  a 
"Green  Hat!" 

But  such,  I'm  learning,  is  the  versatility  of  woman.

Hut  the  tragedy  was  averted. 

Anna,  true  heroine,  dashed  up  in  the  nick  of  time  with  "the

IF  you  think  cynicism  con- 
fined to  us  patriarchal 
critics,  listen  to  this  query 
from  a  flapper  of  sixteen: 
''Do  the  wide  open  spaces 
mentioned  in  pictures  refer  to  the  craniums  of  directors?" 

THOSE  who  have  complained  about  the  dullness  of  this  page 
during  the  past  few  months  will  be  glad  to  learn  that  Alice 
Terry  is  back  at  her  old  post  on  the  paper. 

I  paid  Alice  twenty-five  dollars  a  month  and  let  her  work  in 
pictures  on  the  side,  but  when  she  was  told  by  an  old  scandal- 
monger that  I  received  almost  twice  as  much  (which  is  a  lie  and 
I  can  prove  it)  she  became  temperamental  and  left  for  France 
to  play  in  ''Mare  Nostrum." 

"Mais  non,"  she  exclaims  in  French  (having  all  but  for- 
gotten her  native  tongue  during  the  three  months  abroad), 
"art  counts  for  more  than  ze  jack." 

She  returned  from  France  the  godmother  of  the  French  army 
but  looking  well.  She  gave  the  Blue  Devils  her  blessing,  before 
departing,  and  sent  them  to  ruin  the  Riffs  in  Africa.  Now  the 
Riffs  say  Allah  is  not  so  good,  and  wish  they  knew  Alice. 

Swathed  in  furs  from  the  Rue  de  la  Paix  she  stepped  from  the 
train  wearing  the  headlight.  On  closer  inspection  the  sunlight 
arc  proved  to  be  a  trifle  from  Cartier's  weighing  twelve  karats. 

"A  gift  from  an  admirer,"  explained  Alice  starrily. 

The  admirer,  I  learned,  is  Rex  Ingram.  This  no  doubt  will 
cause  talk. 

When  a  reporter  asked  if  she  were  separating  from  Mr.  In- 
gram Alice  showed  him  the  diamond  and  said,  "No,  I've  just 
been  re-engaged." 

"Anything  confidential  you'd  like  to  say?"  he  asked. 

"No,  nothing  confidential  for  publication."  said  Alice. 

"How  does  it  feel  to  play  a  bad  woman  on  the  screen?" 

"You  never  know  you're  bad,"  said  Alice,  "until  you  see  the 
I  rushes." 

" Au  revoir!"

"All  right,"  said  Alice 
calmly.  "Wait  and  see. 
They're  going  to  look  at  it 
and  say,  'Oh,  another  one  of 
those  horse  pictures'." 

"Oh,  God!"  wailed  Rex, 
and  permitted  the  transla- 
tion "Our  Sea"  to  be  used 
in  parentheses  beneath  the 
title. 

Now  the  only  chance  for 
confusion  is  between  Rex 
and  the  wild  horse  of  the 
same  name. 

WE  all  play  parts  on 
screen  and  off.     And 


the  one  we  invariably  pick 
for  modish  day  wear  is  fur- 
therest  from  ourselves. 

There's  a  glint -eyed  ogre 

in   a  studio  who   frightens 

canary-souled  actors  by  day  and   by   night    writes   exquisite 

poetry,  !some  of  which   has  been  set  to  music.     Watch-dog 

of    the  treasury    abroad    and    at  home   a   lavish   nightingale 


The  world's  all  Jekyll-Hyde. 

ANEW  medical  term — Screen-fright. 
It  does  not  apply  to  an  uncomely  actress,  as  you  might 
suppose,  but  is  a  sensation  exactly  comparable  to  that  which 
vocal  actors  experience  on  the  opening  night  of  a  speakie. 

Screen  fright  grips  many  a  heroic  abdomen  on  the  first  day's 
work  in  a  picture. 

Lew  Stone,  with  all  the  graven  poise  of  Michelangelo's  Moses, 
says  he  all  but  faints  on  the  initial  day  of  each  production. 

Malcolm  McGregor,  likewise  a  gentleman  of  savoir  fair,  is  so 
sensitive  to  the  first  shots  of  the  camera  that  he  invariably 
spends  the  preceding  night  in  a  contemplation  of  suicide.  Many 
is  the  evening,  indeed,  that  I've  saved  him  from  his  own  hand 
by  thrusting  a  highball  into  it. 

SENSITIVENESS  is  the  mark  of  the  artist.     Blatant  self 
confidence  may  carry  a  player  more  speedily  to  the  heights, 
but  it  just  as  speedily  overthrows  him. 

Show  me  a  fallen  idol  and  I'll  show  you  one  who  has  tripped 
over  his  own  bunion  of  conceit.

Wouldn't  you  like  your  living  room  to  be  as  luxurious  as  this  set  from  "The  Song  and  Dance  Man"?    Below  Mr.

A  Beautiful  $1,000  Living  Room 


The  third  of  a  series  on  how  to  use  the  motion 
picture  to  suggest  furnishings  in  your  home 


By  Charles  D.  Chapman 

Art  Director,  Eastern  Paramount  Studios 


YOU  can  have  a  smart,  sophisticated  living  room  of  com- 
fort and  charm,  furnished  from  carpet  to  ceiling,  for 
Sl.OOO. 

The  set  shown  above  from  ''The  Song  and  Dance 
Man"  is  proof  of  it.  I  designed  and  furnished  this  room  in  its 
entirety  for  exactly  that  sum. 

And  I'm  proud  of  it.  It's  done  in  the  New  York  manner.  Its 
colors,  which  no  photograph  can  show,  are  delightful.  It  is  a 
homey  room,  adaptable  to  almost  any  type  of  entertaining.  Its 
furnishings  are  of  lasting  value  and  bespeak  cultured  taste.  But 
with  furniture  priced  as  high  as  it  is,  I  couldn't  have  created  this 
room  at  its  price  without  extensive  shopping. 

Every  time  I  adopt  a  typically  feminine  institution  to  my 
own  masculine  uses,  I  discover 
anew  how  innately  wise  women 
are.  Shopping  is  entirely  wom- 
an-made. It  has  created  bar- 
gain counters,  beauty  and  prog- 
ress, but  most  important  in 
this  case,  it  has  created  values. 
In  every  city  there  are  spring- 
ing up  small  antique  and  dec- 
orators' shops,  all  holding 
treasures  to  be  unearthed.  In 
shops  of  this  character,  I  picked 
up  the  pieces  illustrated. 

No  movie  studio  attempts  to

est authorities  on  home  decoration.  Next

how  to  make  the  most  of  pictures 
and  mirrors  to  make  your  home  livable. 


cramp  its  designer's  style  by  demanding  cheap  fakes  be  used  in 
settings.  I  look  for  bargains  for  the  fun  of  actually  finding  real 
ones. 

I  wanted  to  select  for  you  a  room  suited  to  almost  every 
home.  The  room  here  used  is  certainly  most  correct  for  the 
town  residence,  where  formal  tone  and  restful  atmosphere  must 
be  combined  with  chic.  This  is,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  a  copy  of 
the  individuaLdrawing  rooms  in  one  of  New  York's  most  lux- 
urious and  fashionable  hotels  where  $20  a  day  is  considered  a 
moderate  room  rent. 

I  am  glad  to  let  the  movies  and  Photoplay  bring  it  to  you, 
and  to  tell  you  how  you  can  have  it  for  your  own  forever  for 
Sl.OOO.     At'  the  end 'of  this  article  you  will  find  an  itemized 

statement  of  exactly  what  each 
piece  cost. 

First,  consider  the  colors. 
The  walls  are  a  warm  gray,  a 
putty  colored  gray  which  has 
quite  a  bit  of  yellow  in  it.  You 
will  find  this  a  livable  color.  It 
blends  with  most  furnishings 
and  is  a  charming  background 
for  colorful,  feminine  clothes. 
The  carpet  that  covers  the  en- 
tire floor  is  the  same  shade. 
The  hangings  at  the  windows 
areof  old  rose  and  gold  damask. 


and  against  the  French  doorway  in 
the  center  background,  the  curtains 
are  of  ecru  tinted  seco  silk,  a  practi- 
cal, inexpensive  material. 

The  tables  and  commodes  are  of 
antique  walnut,  while  the  over- 
stuffed pieces  are  covered  in  soft 
green  with  flowers  of  old  gold.  The 
mirrors  are  framed  in  silver  and  the 
five  color  Chinese  jars,  the  tiny, 
blue  pleated  shade  on  the  Checoslo- 
vak  china  lamp  and  the  yellow  flow- 
ers in  the  Hat  bowls  provide  the 
needed  warmer  tints.  

This  use  of  color  is  in  response  to 
the  latest  demand  in  home  decorat- 
ing which  calls  for  a  quite  lively  blending  of  various  shades. 

Now  for  the  shopping  end  of  it. 

A  rule  I  always  employ  and  which  might  prove  valuable  to 
you  in  interior  decorating  is  to  draw  a  small  plan  of  the  way  I 
want  my  room  to  look  when  finished.  I  do  this  before  I  go  out 
to  buy.  You  don't  need  to  draw  well  for  this  purpose.  Just 
enough  to  show  yourself  whether  you  want  a  table  or  a  piano 
under  the  windows,  for  instance,  is  sufficient.  This  prevents 
coming  back  with  four  kidney  shaped  tables  and  three  bridge 
lamps  for  which  there  isn't  a  bit  of  space. 

The  proportions  of  this  room  are  slightly  larger  than  those  of 
the  living  room  in  the  average  home.  It  was  necessary  here  for 
proper  camera  range.  These  furnishings,  however,  are  adapt- 
able to  the  room  of  medium  size.  If  you  find  it  necessary  to 
save  space  or  money,  the  Queen  Anne  chests  or  the  Italian 
commodes  might  be  left  out  without  destroying  balance. 

TN  this  set  the  first  thing  I  drew  in  my  diagram  was  a  two  piece 
sofa,.  Every  living  room  should  have  comfort  and  the  new 
two  piece  sofa  is  the  smartest  and  best  way  of  guaranteeing 
comfort.  Thus  I  started  my  shopping  by  looking  for  such  a 
piece,  covered  in  materials  and  colors  that  would  go  well  with 
the  smooth,  gray  walls  of  the  room.  I  purchased  the  sofa  and 
chair  here  shown  at  an  excellent  auction  room.  They  are 
covered  in  beautiful  damask  but  cost  only  $250. 


T_TERE'S  one  Richard  Dix  tells.  Seems  he 
■*■  -*-caught  it  while  on  a  visit  to  the  publicity  de- 
partment to  look  at  some  stills. 

She  was  a  new  girl — had  just  been  signed — 
and  was  filling  out  a  biographical  blank  for  the  de- 
partment. She  was  putting  it  on  thick,  too^fine 
old  Southern  family  impoverished  by  the  war 
and  all  that,  when  she  came  to  the  line  marked 
EDUCATION. 

For  a  second  she  hesitated  and  then  after 
Education  she  wrote  "PRIVATE  TOOTER." 
Ain't  it  great  to  be  edicated? 


Then  I  looked  about  for  a  com- 
fortable chair  to  be  used  with  those 
two.  It  had  to  be  somewhat  formal 
and  I  preferred  that  it  be  beautiful. 
The  ordinary,  large  overstuffed 
chairs  in  the  retail  shops  being  too 
costly,  I  unearthed  an  old  Queen 
Anne  chair  in  a  little  second  hand 
furniture  place.  It  was  pretty  ter- 
rible there,  covered  in  dingy  denim, 
but  its  original  lines  were  perfect.  I 
took  it  to  an  upholsterer  who  covered 
it  in  old  English  chintz,  all  for  SSO. 

Down  town  in  New  York,  in  the 

foreign  settlements,  there  is  a  little 
lane  called  Allen  Street.  It  offers 
the  finest  and  most  inexpensive  brass  in  the  country.  There  I 
picked  up  my  fireplace  fixtures,  solid  brass  but  costing  only  S10. 
Near  there  I  also  discovered  the  two  mirrors.  They  were  un- 
framed  and  speckled  but  I  knew  what  to  do  with  them.  Thev 
were  mine  for  S20.  Having  them  resilvered  cost  S3  a  piece.  A 
frame  maker  did  the  frames,  painted  in  old  silver,  for  S24.  I 
matched  these  with  the  Dutch  silver  cigarette  boxes  on  two 
of  the  three  occasional  tables. 

TX  Chinatown  I  found  the  twin  temple  jars  and  the  mantel 
vases.     The  latter  were  actually  Sevres  china,  but  the  dealer 
didn't  know  it.    Thus  I  got  them  for  S5  each.     For  the  same 
price  I  bought  the  flat  crackle  wear  bowls  for  cut  flowers. 

The  thrill  of  the  voyaging  shopper  being  upon  me.  I  jour- 
neyed back  to  the  Armenian  neighborhood  to  hunt  carpets.  The 
one  I  purchased  was  far  too  large  for  the  average  ioom  and, 
therefore,  reduced  in  price.  I  had  it  cut  to  the  size  I  wanted 
for  S60  and  the  three  imitation  oriental  rugs,  which  in  this  case 
cover  the  carpet's  worn  spots,  cost  another  S40.  Xcw  carpet- 
ing of  this  kind  retails  from  S4  to  S6.50  the  yard. 

An  out  of  the  way  print  shop  yielded  up  the  two  English 
prints  you  see  hanging  on  either  side  of  the  doorway.  They 
were  beautifully  obscured  by  dirt,  but  look  at  them  now!  The 
same  was  true  of  the  two  Italian  commodes  beneath  them.  I 
saw  those  at  an  antique  dealer's,         [  coxti.vued  ox  page  120]

jOME  >m  and  see  the  goof  playing  with  sticks!" 

Carpenters  and  electricians  gathered  in  one  wide 
;rin  to  watch  a  youth  solemnly  laying  sticks  on  the 
'iloor  of  a  studio  stage,  stepping  among  them  with 
sibilant  murmurs  as  though  muttering  incantations. 

The  goof  was  Douglas  MacLean  .  .  .  carpenters  and  elec- 
tricians are  so  irreverent. 

As  a  comedian  he  certainly  was  funny  to  them — as  funny  as 
a  Napoleon  in  a  cuckoo  hatch. 

"  Nuts!"  they  murmured  and  walked  away. 

Later  one  of  them  asked  MacLean  what  he  was  doing,  play- 
ing jack-straws? 

■"Building  a  house."  he  muttered  between  solemn  paces  to 
the  count  of  one,  two.  three. 

"Well,  ain't  that  pretty."  said  the  carpenter,  regarding  the 
assemblage  of  sticks  that  might  have  been  the  beginning  of  a 
bum  bird's  nest.  "I  got  a  kid  at  home  that  builds  houses  outa 
leaves  on  the  lawn.    I'll  bring  him  over  to  play  with  you." 

Doug  nodded  and  went  on  in  a  trance. 

He  was  laying  out  a  set  and  visualizing  the  chuckles. 

Just  another  one  of  those  cuckoo  stars. 

When  I  happened  into  his  studio  study 
the  other  day  he  was  hunched  over  an  " 

architect's  drawing  which  he  had  made. 

"Crosses    mark     where    bodies    were 
found?''  I  presumed,  studying  the  sketch. 

"No."  said  he.  with  the  gayety  of  Ham- 
let.   "They  mark  the  laughs." 

"'You  mean  you  lay  down  laughs  like 
linoleum?" 

"No,"  said  he.      "More  like   mosaic. 
Have  to  be  accurate  to  the  inch." 

"'How  spontaneous!"  I  dilated. 

He  then  proceeded  to  illumine  my  dark- 
ness by  showing  how  you  could  miss  a

laugh  by  walking  one  step  loo  far  between  the  entrance  and  the 
center  table  where  the  merry  maneuver  was  to  be  performed. 

I  recalled  a  scene  of ""  The  Arab  "  where  Xovarro  takes  a  coin 
from  the  hand  of  a  beggar  just  after  it  had  been  placed  there  by 
a  Christian  gent.  It  was  very  funny  before  the  camera.  But  on 
the  screen  it  seemed  to  me  that  Novarro  was  about  two  steps 
too  far  behind  the  donor  to  get  the  maximum  of  the  humor. 

"Timing,"  said  Doug.  "Laughs  are  like  firecrackers.  The 
fuss  must  be  just  the  right  length  and  they  must  be  thrown  just 
at  the  right  time.  You  have  to  build  sets  to  key  with  the 
action." 

"Simple  as  trigonometry  or  fourth  dimension."  I  observed 
lightly. 

The  foregoing  preamble  explains  why  Doug  MacLean  is  a 
great  actor.  He's  such  a  good  architect.  Or,  rather,  a  builder. 
for  he  creates  the  whole  structure  with  the  aid  of  his  men. 

MacLean  works  precisely  like  Harold  Lloyd.  Perhaps  he 
follows  his  plans  more  closely. 

The  ordinary  procedure  in  a  studio  of  efficiency  is  as  follows: 

Producer  pays  fifty  thousand  dollars  for  a  story. 

He  gives  it  to  Joe  Ox,  the  scenario  sausage  grinder,  and  tells 

him  to  grind  out  a  continuity  in  two  weeks. 

— — — — -— ^^— —  In  the  middle  of  the  first  week  he  finds 

he  needs  Joe  on  another  script,  so  the 

sausage  is  turned  over  to  Lizzie  Muts. 

who  puts  it  through  in  three  days,  after 

her  own  ideas. 

Meanwhile   the  sets  are   being    built. 
Lizzie  turns  the  weinie  over  to  the  di- 
rector, who  says.  "  Fine.  "  and  proceeds  to 
re-write  it  muttering  '•terrible!" 

He  spends  a  week  or  so  on  his  version  ol 
the  hot  dog.  Ten  to  twelve  weeks  on 
shooting  the  picture.

tells  how  to  keepj 
the  skin  exquisitely 

soft  and  lovely 


"C  \ri:  of  the  skin,  /;/   my  opinion,  can 
best  be  obtained  by  the  daily  use  of  Pond's 

>tis.    They  keep  the  skin  exquisitely

AS  a  young  girl  growing  up  in  aristo- 
Jf\  cratic  Baltimore,  there  was  that 
about  the  future  Duchesse  de  Richelieu 
which  caused  all  who  saw  her  to  predict 
for  her  a  great  career. 

Patrician  she  was,  even  then  —  though 
in  the  best  American  tradition.  The  head 
was  finely-modeled  with  its  crown  of 
golden  hair.  The  blue  eyes  looked  out 
from  under  delicately  level  brows.  Her 
skin  had  the  exquisite  fineness,  the  fragile 
delicacy  that  bespeak  centuries  ot  breed- 
ing, yet  with  the  freshness,  the  bloom  of 
a  young  race. 

As  if  beauty  and  charm  were  not  enough, 
nature  bestowed  upon  her  yet  another  gitt— 
a  soprano  voice  of  rare  lyric  quality. 

When  by  her  marriage  this  favored  young 
American  added  to  her  native  endowment  the 
heritage  of  one  of  the  proudest  names  of  old 
France,  she  was  drawn  at  once  into  the  glam- 
orous whirl  of  international  social  life.

right  and  by  marriage  one  of  the

Asked  how,  through  all  her  exacting  social 
and  musical  activities,  she  continues  to  retain 


Every  skirt  needs  these  Two  Creams  used 
by  the  beautiful  women  of  society 


her  freshness  and  bloom,  she  replied: 

"Care  of  the  skin.  It  is  an  obligation  al- 
ways to  appear  with  a  complexion  fresh  and 
radiant,  never  betraying  the  least  trace  of  any 
weariness  or  imperfection.  And  this  care,  in 
my  opinion,  can  best  be  had  by  the  daily  use 
of  Pond's  Two  Creams." 

HUNDREDS  of  beautiful  and  distinguished 
women  everywhere  have  found  in  these 
same  two  delicate,  fragrant  creams  made  by 
Pond's  the  perfect  equipment  for  keeping  their 
fragile  skins  just  exquisite. 

Before  retiring,  cleanse  your  skin  deeply  with 
Pond's  Cold  Cream,  patting  it  lavishly  over  and 
letting  it  stay  on  several  moments.  Now  with  a 
soft  cloth  or  tissue  remove  all  the  cream  and 
the  loosened  dirt  and  dust  which  its  pure  oils 
have  brought  to  the  surface  from  the  roots 
of  your  pores.  Repeat  the  process.  If  your 
skin  is  dry,  pat  more  cream  on  and  leave  it 
over  night. 

Several  times  by  day,  especially  after  you've 
returned  from  hours  out  ot  doors,  cleanse  your 
face,  throat  and  the  V  of  your  neck  with 
Pond's  Cold  Cream  the  same  way — and  finish 
with  a  dash  of  cold  water  or  a  rub  with  ice  to 
close  the  pores. 

After  these  daytime  cleansings,  smooth  over 
sour  refreshed,  invigorated  skin  ever  so  little  of 
Pond's  Vanishing  Cream.  Its  soft  protection 
against  wind  and  dust  and  chapping  cold 
makes  it  delightful  to  use  just  before  going  out. 
But  what  pleases  you  most  of  all  is  the  even,

of  books,  furniture  and  bibelots, 
many  of  which  have  come  down

exquisite  tone  it  lends  your  skin.  Flick  on  your 
powder  and  see  with  enchantment  how  evenly 
it  lies,  how  natural  is  the  glow  it  gives  your 
skin,  and  how  long  it  stays  just  so! 

When  you  buy  your  own  Pond's  creams  ask 
for  the  large-sized  jar  of  the  Cold  Cream  which 
lasts  so  well.  Both  creams  come  in  two  sizes 
of  smaller  jars  and  in  tubes. 

Among  other  beautiful  women   who  have 

praised  these  famous  creams  for  the  care 
of  the  skin  are:

THEY  arrived  in  Hollywood  with  fifteen  dollars — all 
they  had  in  the  world.  They  had  always  been  used  to 
animals,  so,  being  lonesome,  they  gave  ten  of  the  fifteen 
for  a  dog — and  went  to  hunt  a  furnished  room. 
The  landlady  liked  dogs — in  pictures — so  Buck  Jones  and 
his  wife  had  to  find  a  place  for  the  dog. 

The  next  day  Buck  hurried  out  to  Universal  City,  where  he 
had  a  cowboy  pal  who  was  working  as  an  extra.  This  chap  hail 
been  a  "top-rider"  with  Buck  in  the  old  Oklahoma  days  when 
they  rode  the  range  together.  A  top-rider  is  of  the  same  rank 
on  a  big  ranch  that  a  general,  or  a  corporal,  is  in  the  army. 

Buck  Jones  belongs  to  that  picturesque  body  of  men  who  add 
color  to  America.  He  is  from  Indiana,  but  has  no  grievances, 
having  left  there  early.  At  fifteen  he  was  a  wandering  youngster 
with  no  mother  to  guide  him.  The  no  mother  was  fortunate. 
For  how  is  one  going  to  guide  a  lad  who  wanted  lo  be  a  soldier, 
a  cowboy,  a  bare-back  rider  and  a  motion  picture  actor? 

At  seventeen  Buck  was  a  cowboy  on  a  Western  range.  At 
eighteen  he  was  a  lop- rider.  A  daring  Iwo-hstcd  chap,  who  can 
swing  a  mean  pair  of  boxing  gloves  with  any  man  alive,  with 
broad  shoulders  and  jaw  all  square,  Buck  Jones  is  the  most 
silent  man  in  pictures. 

lie  has  no  pretense,  and  the  man  who  takes  rare  of  his  three 
favorite  hoises  is  made  lo  feel  thai  he  is  Buck's  equal.  In  fart. 
he  even  upstages  Buck  sometimes.

A  Top  Rider 


That's  Buck  Jones, 

and  it  means  he  ranks  with 

an  army  general 

By  Jim  Tully 


This — on  paper — hardly  means  a  thing.  But  some  western 
actors  are  so  important  that  even  the  Pope  could  not  talk  to 
them  without  a  letter  of  introduction  written  in  Cowboy  Latin. 

Buck  has  been  everything  that  a  runaway  lad  could  possibly 
be.  A  laborer,  a  hiker  on  the  road,  a  soldier  in  the  United 
States  Cavalry. 

Leaving  the  Army,  in  which  he  served  three  years  in  the 
Philippines,  Buck  again  rode  ranges  all  over  the  west  from  Mon- 
tana to  Texas.    The  turn  of  a  card  brought  him  to  Ponca  City, 
Oklahoma,  where  is  located  the  famous  Miller  101  Ranch.    The 
Miller  circus  wintered  there — and   with  it   was   the  greatest 
aggregation  of  bronco  busters,  bareback  riders  and  ropers  ever 
assembled  under  the  sun.    Each  spring  every  one  on  the  ranch 
is  given  a  chance  to  try  out  as  a  performer  with  the  circus. 
Each  man  trying  is  given  a  horse  and  a  rope  and  a  steer— 
and  God's  great  out  of 
doers  to  roll  around  on. 
Buck   Jones   entered    the 
lists  with  a  thousand  rid- 
ers looking  on.    He  made 
good   and   went   on    tour 
and   opened   in    Madison 
Square  Garden.

True  Tales 

about  Health 

They  tell  how  thousands  conquered 
constipation,  corrected  skin  and  stom- 
ach disorders — found  glorious  vitality 
— by  eating  one  natural  food 

~Sot  a  "cure-all,"  not  a  medicine  in  any  sense — 
Fleischmann's  Yeast  is  simply  a  remarkable 
fresh  food. 

The  millions  of  tiny  active  yeast  plants  in 
every  cake  invigorate  the  whole  system.  They 
aid  digestion — clear  the  skin — banish  the  poisons 
of  .constipation.  Where  cathartics  give  only 
temporary  relief,  yeast  strengthens  the  intestinal 
muscles  and  makes  them  healthy  and  active. 
And  day  by  day  it  releases  new  stores  of  energy. 

Eat  two  or  three  cakes  regularly  every  day 
before  meals:  on  crackers — in  fruit  juices  or  milk 
— or  just  plain.  For  constipation  especially,  dis- 
solve one  cake  in  hot  water  {not  scalding)  before 
h-eakfast  and  at  bedtime.  Buy  several  cakes  at  a 
time — they  will  keep  fresh  in  a  cool  dry  place  for 
two  or  three  days.  All  grocers  have  Fleisch- 
mann's Yeast.  Start  eating  it  today!

^  ou,  yourself,  rarely  know 
when  you  have  halitosis  (unpleas- 
ant breath).  That's  the  insidious 
thing  about  it.  And  even  your 
closest  friends  won't  tell  you. 

Sometimes,  of  course,  halitosis 
comes  from  some  deep-seated  or- 
ganic disorder  that  requires  pro- 
fessional advice.  But  usually — 
and  fortunately — halitosis  is  only 
a  local  condition  that  yields  to 
the  regular  use  of  Listerine  as  a 
mouth  wash  and  gargle.  It  is  an 
interesting  thing  that  this  well- 
known  antiseptic  that  has  been 
in  use  for  years  for  surgical  dress- 
ings, possesses  these  unusual 
properties  as  a  breath  deodorant. 
It  puts  you  on  the  safe  and  polite 
side. 

Listerine  halts  food  fermenta- 
tion in  the  mouth  and  leaves  the 
breath  sweet,  fresh  and  clean. 
Not  by  substituting  some  other 
odor  but  by  really  removing  the 
old  one.  The  Listerine  odor  itself 
quickly  disappears. 

This  safe  and  long-trusted  an- 
tiseptic has  dozens  of  different 
uses;  note  the  little  circular  that 
comes  with  every  bottle.  Your 
druggist  sells  Listerine  in  the 
original  brown  package  only — 
neoer  in  bulk.  There  are  four 
sizes:  14  ounce,  7  ounce,  3  ounce

The  woman  ot  today  simply  must  be

At  home,  in  business,  engaged  in  active 
social  life — she  knows  that  she  will  never 
be  excused  a  moment  for  neglected,  un- 
tidy fingernails— dull,  lusterless,  bordered 
by  split  or  ragged  cuticle. 

For  it  is  such  a  simple  matter  nowadays 
to  keep  them  always  lovely.  Today  every 
woman  knows  how  to  have  nail-tips  white 
and  dainty,  nails  pink  and  gleaming,  cuti- 
cle smooth,  shapely.  Cutex  has  taught 
her — hundreds  and  thousands  of  her!

Keep  voir  hands  lovely  this  exquisite

warm,  soapy  water.  Dip  the  orange  stick  in 
Cutex,  twist  a  bit  of  cotton  around  the  end, 
and  keep  it  wet  as  you  work  gently  around  the 
nail  base.  The  cuticle  is  quickly  freed  from  the 
nail  so  it  can't  split  and  cause  unsightly 
hangnails.    The  old  dead  skin  that  is  so  1111-

GRADUATE    NURSE 


— This  remar\ahle  HEW  way  supplants 

the  uncertainty  of  makeshift  hygienic  methods 

with  a  security  that  is  absolute  hy  providing 

3  unique  features  unknown  before 


You'll  appreciate 
these  3  factors 


(D 


Utter  protection  —  Koter  ab- 
BOlbs  16  times  its  own  weight 
in  moisture;  5  times  that  of 
the  ordinary  cotton  pad.  and 
it  deodorizes,  thus  assuring 
double  protection. 


A  GAY  frock  to  be  worn! — a  dinner,  a 
dance,  perhaps  an  hour's  motoring 
each  way! 

Yesterday  that  would  have  been  a  prob- 
lem. Today,  to  the  modern  woman,  it 
comes  only  as  an  incident.  Unlike  her 
predecessors,  she  no  longer  spends  almost 
one-sixth  of  her  time  under  a  hygienic 
handicap. 

Modern  science  has  discovered  a  safe 
hygiene  for  women.  A  way  which  eight  in 
every  ten  women  of  the  better  walks  of  life 
have  adopted.  A  way  that,  once  you  try, 
will  make  a  great  difference  in  your  life. 

Three  important  advantages 

This  new  way  is  Kotex,  the  scientific  sani- 
tary pad.  Nurses  in  war-time  France  first 
discovered  it.  It  is  made  of  the  super- 
absorbent  Cellucotton,  covered  with  specially 
processed,  soft  finished  gauze. 

It  absorbs  and  holds  instantly  sixteen  times 
its  own  weight  in  moisture,  five  times  as 
absorbent  as  ordinary  cotton  pads. 

Each  Kotex  pad  deodorizes  with  a  new, 
secret  disinfectant.  Think  of  the  amazing 
protection  this  feature  alone  gives! 


There  is  no  bother,  no  expense,  of  laun- 
dry. Simply  discard  as  you  would  waste 
paper — without  embarrassment. 

You  can  get  it  anywhere,  today 

If  you  have  not  tried  Kotex,  please  do. 
It  will  make  a  great  difference  in  your 
viewpoint,  in  your  peace  of  mind  and  your 
health. 

60%  of  many  ills,  according  to  many 
leading  medical  authorities,  are  traced  to 
the  use  of  unsafe  and  unsanitary  make- 
shift methods. 

Thus  today,  on  eminent  medical  advice, 
millions  are  turning  to  this  new  way. 

A  fair  test  will  convince  you  of  its  ad- 
vantages beyond  all  question.  No  other 
method  will  ever  satisfy. 

Kotex  comes  in  germ-proof  packages  of 
twelve,  in  two  sizes:  the  Regular  and 
Kotex-Super.  At  all  better  drug  and  de- 
partment stores,  everywhere. 

Today  begin  the  Kotex  habit.  Note  the 
improvements,  mental  and  physical,  that 
it  brings.  Write  today  for  "Personal  Hygiene"

Judy,  Bob  \\i>  Shorty,  Vou  want  to 
know  how  I  (ought  in  the  war  of  181  1?  like 
blazes.  The  secret  of  my  longevity  is  my 
seven  foot  Father  and  my  nine  foot  mother. 
The  way  to  pronounce  Meighan  is  me  an,  as  in 
me  ami  you.  Harrison  Ford  is  nol  married. 
Heis  the  next  best  thing,  divorced.  Raymond 
Griffith  is  In-art  whole.  He  lias  never  been 
wed.  What's  become  of  Gareth  Hughes? 
Really  waul  to  know?  The  last  1  heard  of  him 
he  was  playing  in  a  stage  production  called 
"The  Dunce  Hon-."  Gloria  Swanson's  two 
children  live  with  her  on  her  country  estate  in 
Westchester.  Lovely  Esther  Ralston  was 
"loppy"  in  "The  Little  French  Girl."  Bessie 
1  ove  is  not  married.  Yes,  I  saw  her  do  the 
Charleston,  and  it  gave  me  so  much  pep  I 
expect  to  live  ninety  years  more. 

Virginia,  Helen  and  Elizabeth,  New 
Mexico. —  For  a  tirst  attempt  you  girls  did 
very  well.  Gloria  Hope  is  Lloyd  Hughes'  wife. 
Well,  from  what  I  hear  out  Hollywood  wax- 
that  young  Fairbanks  boy  is  still  sweet  on 
Hetty  Bronson.  Jetta  Goudal  was  horn  about 
somewhere  about.     She  is  French. 

M  vziF.  G.,  Montgomery,  Ala. — Look  in  the 
studio  directory  for  Conrad  Nagel's,  Rod  La 
Rocque's,  Pauline  Starke's.  Greta  Nissen's 
and  Antony  Jowitt's  addresses.    They  are  all 

free  lance  players  and  they  hop  around  a  lot. 
Yes,  Tony  Jowitl  is  just  as  good  looking  as  he 
appears  hut  lie  has  eseaped  marriage  so  far. 
Gloria's  husband  is  a  genuine  Marquis  and  a 
regular  fellow.  You  bet  she  isn't  going  to 
divorce  him.     She's  too  happy  with  him. 

T.  J.  M.,  Virginia. — Now  how  did  you  find 
out  about  my  beauty?  If  you  only  knew  how 
my  heart  has  been  thumping  around  since  I 
got  your  kind,  kind  woids.  It  beats  all. 
Norma  Shearer  was  born  in  1Q04.  Since  then 
she  has  attained  five  feet  three  inches,  112 
pounds  and  kept  her  blue  eyes  and  light  brown 
hair.  I  don't  know-  her  shoe  si/.e.  She  always 
romps  around  with  me  bare  footed.  You  can 
reach  her  at  the  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 
Studios. 

Jean  of  Houston. — That  good  look- 
ing guy  opposite  Betty  Bronson  in  "  Are 
Parents  People?"  was  Lawrence  Gray. 
You  can  reach  him  at  the  Paramount 
Studios,  Hollywood.  Clive  Brook  hangs 
his  hat  at  the  Warner  Bros.  Studio. 
He's  married.  I  think  you  might  get  a 
photograph  of  Mrs.  Valentino  if  you 
write  F.  B.  O.  studios  and  send  a 
quarter.  Thanks  for  the  good  luck.  I 
need  it. 

Nelson  G.,  Corinth,  N.  Y. — You'd 
better  look  out.  If  I  treated  you  like 
an  old  friend  I'd  borrow  money  olT  you. 
Yakima Canutt held  the  cowboy  cham- 
pionship for  a  number  of  years.  I  never 
heard  of  Mabel  Strickland.  It's  been  so 
long  since  I've  had  any  sex.  I've  for- 
gotten which  one  it  was  myself.

at  present,  in  a  play  called  "Young  Woodley." 
He  is  twenty  eight.  m\  Feel  tall  and  weighs 
147.  He  has  never  been  married.  Claire 
Windsor  is  the  same  age  as  Glenn. 

M.  s.,  Los  Angeles,  Cal  Here's  where  l

l.on  was  born  at  Colorado  Springs.  Colo., 
April  1,  1883.  He  "as  on  the  stage  before  he 
went  into  pictures  in  1912.    He's  married,  too. 

G.  E.  B. — Thass'right  Let  me  be  your  little 
curiosity  satisfier.  Your  favorite,  Esther 
Ralston,  was  born  in  1002.  She  is  five  feet 
five  and  works  at  the  Paramount  Studios, 
Hollywood.  We  can't  publish  the  magazine 
twice  a  month,  but  you  might  buy  two  copies. 
one  on  the  tirst  and  one  on  the  fifteenth.  We'd 
like  that. 

P.  T. — I  like  your  paper  and  your  ink,  I  like 
the  single  thought  you  think.  My  life  isone  long 
pipe,  so  why  give  me  a  DunhOl?    So  you've 

been  thinking  one  thought  ever  since  you  were 
a  child?  So  have  most  of  us,  but  we  won't 
admit  it.  Well,  here's  the  answer  to  it,  so 
you'll  have  room  for  new  worry.  It  was  Lloyd 
Hughes  who  was  in  "Tess  of  the  Storm 
Country."  Sure,  he  appreciates  your  devo- 
tion.   So  do  I. 

Jerry  Nane. — Xo,  Jerry,  you're  not  insane, 
Just  a  movie  fan  like  the  rest  of  us.  Well,  you 
might  call  Richard  Dix,  Dick.  His  next 
picture  is  " Womanhandled."  Being  a  bach- 
elor, I  suppose  he  will  play  it  feelingly.  He's 
discreet  and  doesn't  tell  what  type  of  actress 
he  prefers  to  play  with.  I  presume  he  likes  'em 
to  be  able  to  act,  though. 

Sheba  of  York.  Pa. — That  must  be  quite  a 
burden  to  you,  living  up  to  that  cognomen. 
Yes.  Lon  Charley's  married.  I.on  was  born  on 
April  Fool's  Day,  iSSj.  but  he  fooled  them  by 
making  them  all  proud  of  him.  Write  to  him

posite Betty  Bronson  in  "The  Golden  Prin-

bloomed  in  "The  Desert  Flower"  was  Gene 
Corrado.    All  better  now? 

VlOLA  V. — Viola,  you  write  a  nice  letter. 
You  want  to  know  about  Pauline  daron.  Here 
goes.  Pauline  is  twenty-three.  She's  an  inch 
over  five  feet  and  not  an  ounce  over  a  hundred 
pounds.  Her  eyes  are  hazel  and  her  hair  is 
blonde  and  she  works  at  Warner  Bros.'  studio. 
The  long  and  the  short  of  it  are  Andree 
Lafayette,  five  feet,  eight  inches  tall,  and  Viola 
Dana,  who  ties  with  May  McAvoy  at  the  four 
feet,  eleven  line.  .Most  of  the  successful  stars 
are  short.  Mary  Pickford  is  just  sixty  inches 
small.

I  touglas  Fairbanks  has  retired  from  the  screen?

Doug  is  now-  making  •'The  Black  Pirate'' 
He's  just  half  my  age  and  I'm  eighty-four. 

Dorothy  K. — You're  a  nice,  polite  child. 
Nita  Xaldi  is  twenty-six  years  old.  but  she's 
American  just  the  same.  Xo.  Esther  Ralston 
isn't  married,  which  sure  is  tempting  to  an  old 
bachelor  like  me.    Florence  Yidor  is  just  thirty. 


IN  writing  to  the  stars  for  pictures, 
Photoplay  advises  you  all  to  be 
careful  to  enclose  twenty-five  cents. 
This  covers  the  cost  of  the  photo- 
graph and  postage.  The  stars  are 
all  glad  to  mail  you  their  pictures, 
but  the  cost  of  it  is  prohibitive  un- 
less your  quarters  are  remitted. 
The  younger  stars  can  not  afford  to 
keep  up  with  these  requests  unless 
you  help  them.  You  do  your  share 
and  they'll  do  theirs.

A  scene  from  "La  Boheme,"  the  tragic  story  of  the  little  consump- 
tive lace  maker  of  the  Paris  Latin  Quartier,  which  Metro-Goldwyn 
is  making  with  Lillian  Gish  and  John  Gilbert.  Gilbert  is  the  penni- 
less poet  who  loves  and  loses — at  least  Mimi  dies  in  the  Puccini  opera 


"Know  who  that  is?"  asked  Doug  of  the 
youngsters,  pointing  to  the  comedian. 

The  three  gave  Harold  the  once  over  and 
then  turned  away,  all  admiration  for  Doug. 

"Maw!"  was  the  chorused  answer. 

•'Take  another  look!    Xow  do  you  know?" 

Again  they  answered  "Naw,"  and  with  a 
laugh  Fairbanks  said: 

"Well,  that's  Harold  Lloyd." 

"So  is  your  old  man,"  said  the  boys,  and 
promptly  turned  their  backs  on  Harold. 

T  WAS  talking  to  one  of  our  very 
■*■  best  cameramen  the  other  day.  I 
won't  mention  his  name  or  he  may 
never  get  a  job  again. 

He  had  had  a  hectic  day — the 
lights  all  wrong,  the  actors  trouble- 
some and  the  director  peevish. 

Suddenly  his  face  lighted  up  and  I 
asked  why. 

"Oh,  I  just  had  a  vision  of  Heaven." 

So  I  asked  what  it  was  like.  I'm 
really  terribly  interested  in  heaven 
— so  many  different  people  have  so 
many  different  ideas  of  it. 

And  here  is  this  cameraman's  idea 
of  Heaven : 

To  sit  in  his  front  room — his  par- 
lor, 1  believe  he  called  it — a  highball 
in  each  hand  and  his  feet  on  the  win- 
dowsill,  and  watch  a  procession  of 
actors'  funerals  go  by — one  every 
minute,  I  believe  he  said.

have  come  to  the  parting  of  the  ways.  A  Paris 
divorce  is  in  the  offing.  There  doesn't  seem 
to  be  very  much'  the  matter,  except  a 
where  two  careers  can't  get  along  very  well 
in  double  harness. 

Rudy  has  been  scampering  around  the 
village  with  \'ilma  Banky  and  Pola  Negri,  and 
gave  out  an  interview  saying  he  was  enjoying 
his  bachelor  life. 

Xatacha  doe-n't  seem  to  be  exactly  heart- 
broken. She  has  developed  into  a  very  regular 
sort  of  person,  and  life  with  the  original  sheik 
was  all  romance. 

Good  luck  and  good  pictures  to  both  of  them.

and  Buster  Keaton.  who  is  her  brother-in-law 
— got  together  the  night  before  Connie  left  for 
Xew  York  and  gave  her  a  small  but  very 
hilarious  party  at  the  Keaton  mansion  in 
Hollywood. 

It  was  a  gingham  and  overall  party,  and 
everyone  who  came  had  to  wear  said  habili- 
ments or  he  was  denied  admittance. 

Connie  herself  wore  a  little  checked  gingham 
pinafore  of  bright  yellow  and  white,  and  an 
enormous  yellow  bow  in  her  hair.  Buster 
Collier  borrowed  the  overalls  from  hischauffeur, 
who  must  weigh  two  hundred  and  fifty  pounds,

Corinne  Griffith  in 
"INFATUATION" 

AND  they  say  that  the  sands  of 
the  desert  grow  cold!  Not  for 
Violet  Bancroft,  vivacious  wife  of 
a  middle-aged  official,  who  suddenly 
found  her  interest  aroused  in  an  ag- 
gressive young  diplomat.  And  then 
— in  the  lustrous  glamor  of  Cairo, 
against  a  background  of  intrigue  and 
dazzling  military  figures — reason  and 
obsession  grapple  in    a  death  grip. 

Corinne  Griffith,  whose  "Clas- 
sified" has  delighted  hundreds  of 
thousands,  strikes  an  equally  power- 
ful chord  of  entertainment  in  this 
dramatic  adaptation  of  W.  Somer- 
set Maugham's  "  Caesar's  Wife." 
Irving  Cummings  directed  for  Cor- 
inne Griffith  Productions,  Inc.,  and 
the  supporting  cast  includesMalcolm 
McGregor,  Percy  Marmont,  Warner 
Oland,  Martha  Maddox,  Leota

Frank  Lloyd  presents 
"THE  SPLENDID  ROAD" 

"^THE  SPLENDID  ROAD  "  is  a 
L  glorious  drama  of  a  woman's 
battle  against  man's  odds  with  the 
California  Gold  Rush  as  a  back- 
ground of  sweeping  action. 

Frank  Lloyd  revives  memories  of 
"The  Sea  Hawk"  in  his  reincarna- 
tion of  "The  Colonial  Dame,"  the 
old  three-master  that  carries  Sandra 
Dehault  and  her  three  adopted  chil- 
dren around  the  continent  in  1849. 
Whether  on  silv'ry  seas  or  in  the  gold 
canyon,  the  drama  carries  on  —  a 
splendid  tribute  to  the  early  pioneers. 

Anna  Q.  Nilsson  (above)  plays  the 
lead  supported  by  Lionel  Barrymore 
and  Robert  Frazer,  featured  players, 
and  a  cast  that  includes  Edward 
Earle,  Gladys  Brockwell,  Pauline 
Garon,Marceline  Day,  Russell  Simp- 
son and  George  Bancroft.  From 
Vingie  Roe's  novel  of  the  same  name.

Barbara  La  Marr  in 
"THE  GIRL  FROM  MONTMARTE" 

THEY  searched  2,000  stories, 
books  and  plays  and  then 
selected  this  'from  Anthony  Pryde's 
"Spanish  Sunlight")  as  the  plot  to 
afford  the  broadest  scope  to  Miss  La 
Marr's  exotical  talent. 

They  reproduced  every  atmos- 
pheric detail  of  the  far-off  island  of 
Majorca,  provided  sterling  character 
parts  and  then  told  Director  Alfred 
E.  Green  (who  made  "Sally")  and 
his  staff  of  featured  players  to  go  to 
it.  And  what  a  picture  of  drama 
and  emotions  they  made!  Already 
"  The  Girl  from  Montmarte"  is  be- 
ing hailed  as  Miss  La  Marr's  most 
entertaining  picture. 

Lewis  Stone  (in  insert  above)  and 
Robert  Ellis  are  featured.  Eve  Un- 
sell  wrote  the  continuity  and  June 
Mathis  was   editorial   director   for 

this  Sawyer-Lubin  production.         /&

THREE  men  differed  on  the  dom- 
inating characteristic  of  the  av- 
erage American  girl.  They  gambled 
a  million  dollars  to  prove  their  con- 
tentions and  then  chose  Joanna,  a 
working  girl  whose  heart  craved 
cake  while  she  ate  bread,  as  the  sub- 
ject for  their  experiment.  And  no 
scientific  investigation  was  ever 
pushed  so  relentlessly  to  its  con- 
clusion. 

From  this  unusual  premise  of  H. 
L.  Gates'  widely  read  newspaper  se- 
rial, Director  Edwin  Carewe  has 
built  a  picture  of  unfailing  interest. 
Dorothy  Mackaill  of  "Chickie"  fame 
(above)  typifies  the  American  girl 
whose  emotional  reactions  are 
placed  on  observation.  Jack  Mul- 
hall  (insert)  who  has  won  immense 
success  in  recent  First  National  Pic- 
tures, plays  the  male  lead.

Mrs.  "Peg"  Talmadge  assisted  the  hosts  in

WITH  film  celebrities  turning  out  en  masse, 
the  first  annual  public  revel  of  the 
Maskers  Club — to  Hollywood  what  the  Lambs' 
Gambol  is  to  New  York — went  over  big,  was  a 
pronounced  success  in  fact.  Like  most  other  big 
openings,  a  cordon  of  police  was  necessary  to 
keep  the  entrance  to  the  theater  clear,  so  great 
was  the  crowd  on  hand  to  see  the  many  rtars. 

Robert  Edeson,  harlequin  of  the  maskers, 
was  unable  to  make  the  opening  speech  of  the 
entertainment,  being  detained  on  location  at 
Lake  Arrowhead.  Karle  Fox  made  an  admi- 
rable understudy. 

Fatty  Arbuckle,  on  whose  account  the  show- 
was  held  at  the  Philharmonic  auditorium  in-

because  of  protests  against  letting  the  big 
comedian  appeal  on  the  high  school  stage. 
received  such  tremendous  applause  when  he 
appealed  thai  he  stopped  the  show.

number  of  laughs  as  the  Irish  protector  of 
Chadwick  and  his  wife. 

As  the  shyster  lawyer  who  had  planned  the 
death  of  Pert  lytell's  sweetheart  in  a  hi- 
jacking raid.  Montague  Love  presented  the 
most  dramatic  character  of  the  evening. 

SAID  Bebe  Daniels  to  Lew  Cody  at 
the  Montmartre:  "Who  was  the 
pretty  girl  you  were  dancing  with? 
You  were  most  attentive." 

Lew:   "Which  one?    I  danced  with 
two." 

Bebe:    "Both!"

Your  "make-up"  holds  hours 

longer  than  before 

Instead  of  towels,  cloths,  harsh  fibre, 
or  paper  makeshifts,  you  use  this  de- 
liciously  soft  new  material — 27  times 
as   absorbent! 


First 

Remove  every  bit  of  germ- 
laden  matter,  every  particle 
of  dirt,  simply  by  wiping 
off   face. 

Then 
—  pay    particular   attention 
to  the  nose,    so  that   it   will 
be  white  and  without  shine. 

Then 
Tou     discard     the     used 
sheets — no   more   soiling 
of  towels. 


It  combats  skin  eruptions.     1  or 
they're  mvited  by  germ  accumula- 
tions left  in  the  skin,  breeding  pi 
lor  bacteria. 

Old  methods,  towels,  cloths  and 
fibre  substitutes  failed  in  absorbeney. 
Infectious  dirt  accumulations  were 
rubbed  back  intn  your  skin.  That  is 
why  tiny  imperfections  often  appear. 
Why  your  skin  may  look  disti 
ingly  dark  at  times. 

Multiplied  skin  benefits 

Now  in  Kleenex  those  failures  arc 
corrected. 

Soft  as  clown  and  while  as  snow, 
it  contrasts  the  harshness  of  cloth  or 
fibre  makeshifts  with  a  softness  that 
you'll  love. 

It  is  27  times  as  absorbent  as  the 
ordinary  towel.  25  times  that  of 
paper  and  fibre  substitutes.  You  use 
it,  then  discard  it. 

It  does  what  no  other  method  yet 
has  done  .  .  .  removes  ALL  the 
cleansing  cream,  all  dirt  and  pore 
accumulations  gently  from  the  skin. 
And  that  means  much  to  you.

A  sweet  situation.  Mickey  Neilan  and  his  wife,  Blanche  Sweet,  are 
back  in  California  to  work,  after  their  brief  vacation  in  New  York. 
"A  Far  Cry"  is  the  title  of  Blanche's  next  picture  for  First  National 


clad  in  a  simple  little  dark  frock  and  hat — 
quite  submerged  by  the  gay  plumage  of  the 
Ladies  of  the  Lens.  The  music  started — so  did 
Lina- — and  in  a  moment  she  was  the  cynosure 
of  all  attention.  A  dancing  dynamo — topped 
by  a  little  gray  astrakhan  turban — -and  two 
twinkling  and  shapely  limbs  engaged  in  the 
intricacies  of  the  Charleston.  A  fascinating 
little  Basquette. 

DOROTHY  MACKAILL  leaves  Hollywood 
for  Xew  York,  heart  whole  and  fancy  free, 
if  we  are  to  believe  her.  in  spite  of  the  fact  that 
good  looking  Johnny  Harron  was  down  at  the 
Golden  Slate  Limited  to  wave  her  farewell. 

There  has  been  a  persistent  rumor  of  their 
engagement,  which  Dorothy  just  as  persist- 
ently denies. 

And  Johnny,  like  the  gentleman  he  is,  says 
nothing. 

You  can't  get  away  from  it.  though,  they 
were  seen  together  almost  constantly  while 
Dorothy  was  in  Hollywood.

Mrs.  Sidney  Drew,  one  of  the  first 
of  our  screen  favorites,  died  re-

illness.  She  will  always  be  remem- 
bered for  the  pictures  she  made 
with  her  husband,  whose  death  a 
few  years  ago  ended  the  happy  and 
clever  set  of  domestic  comedies 
with  which  they  delighted  the 
world 


Those  Winning  Smiles 

Which  mean  so  much  .  .  .  commercially,  socially, 
are  gained  this  new  way  with  gleaming,  white  teeth 


Don't  believe  your  teeth  are  "nat- 
urally" dull.  Just  accept  this  10-day 
test.  See  how  dazzling  white  teeth 
and  healthy  gums  come  when  film 
coats  go. 

HERE  is  a  new  and  radically  dif- 
ferent way-  in  tooth  care. 
A  way  that  quickly  restores  "off- 
color"  teeth  to  attractive  whiteness 
and  that  leading  dentists  of  the  world 
are  urging. 

In  a  few  days  it  will  work  a  trans-

FILM.  .  .  it  hides  pretty  teeth, 
and  imperils  gums 
Dental  science  now  traces  scores  of 
tooth   and   gum   troubles   to   a   germ- 
laden   film  that  forms  on  your  teeth. 
Run  your   tongue   across  your   teeth 


and  you  will  feel  it — a  slippery,  vis- 
cous coating.  The  film  absorbs  dis- 
colorations  from  food,  smoking,  etc. 
And  that  is  why  your  teeth  look  "off 
color"  and  dingy. 

It  clings  to  teeth,  gets  into  crevices 
and  stays.  It  lays  your  gums  open  to 
bacterial  attack  and  your  teeth  open 
to  decay.  Germs  by  the  millions  breed 
in  it.  And  they,  with  tartar,  are  a 
chief  cause  of  pyorrhea. 

Mere  brushing  won't  do 
Ordinary  dentifrices  and  cleansing 
won't  fight  film  successfully.  Feel  for 
it  now  with  your  tongue.  Note  how 
your  present  cleansing  method  is  fail- 
ing in  its  duty. 

Xow  new  methods  are  being  used. 
A  dentifrice  called  Pepsodent — differ- 
ent in  formula,  action  and  effect  from 
any  other  known. 

Largely  on  dental  advice  the  world 
has  turned  to  this  method. 


It  removes  that  film.  And  Firms  the  Gums 
It  does  two   important   things  at  once:    Re- 
moves that  film,  then  firms  the  gums. 

A  few  clays'  use  will  prove  its  power  be- 
yond all  doubt.  Send  the  coupon.  Clip  it

rTOM  GALLERY,  film  actor  and  husband  of

and  Harvey  Snodgrass.  ranking  tennis  star, 
and  several  big  squash  players. 

XTO  matter  how  this  rumpus  about  Gloria's 
•L^"  husband's  title  of  Marquis  comes  out.  I 
think  Gloria  made  a  great  error  and  lost  a  great 
chance  when  she  sent  for  a  lawyer  to  look  into 
it  and  all  that. 

She  should  have  given  him  an  adoring  look 
and  said.  "I  don't  give  a  hang  whether  he's  a 
marquis  or  not;  I  love  him,  and  I  married  him 
for  love  and  not  because  he  had  a  title." 

Her  attitude  of  annoyance  and  her  deter- 
mination to  defend  Henri's  claim  to  the  title 
are  probably  nothing  but  wifely  pride,  but  it 
would  have  gone  better  with  the  atmosphere  of 
a  great  love  affair  if  she'd  taken  the  other  angle. 

As  far  as  the  title  is  concerned,  people  who 
know  France  and  its  aristocracy  very  well,  tell 
me  that  La  Ealaise  has  a  perfect  right  to  call 
himself  a  marquis.  Of  course  no  titles  are 
recognized  in  France  now.  and  the  title  is  only 
one  by  courtesy.  He  could  not  use  it  on  any 
civil  or  state  papers,  such  as  a  marriage  certifi- 
cate, because  titles  have  not  been  recognized 
since  France  became  a  republic.  Rut  the 
family  is  a  very  old  one.  and  Henri  is  its  direct 
descendant  and  would  be  the  marquis  if  they 
hail  them  nowadays.  So  his  title  is  probably 
as  authentic  as  any  French  title  can  be,  since 
they  were  all  abolished  by  the  Revolution. 

SEEMS  to  me  leading  a  dog's  life — or  even  a 
horse's  life — as  they  are  lived  in  Hollywood, 
wouldn't  be  so  bad  after  all.

NotVj  too  .  .  when  rooms 

are  overheatedj  clothing 

heavier  .  .  you  will 

want  to  use  Deodo 

every  day! 


C 


By  Lctitia  Hadley 

LOSE  heated  rooms — the  intimacy  of  the 
dance  and  bridge  table — winter  problems! 
It  has   been  so  difficult  to  preserve  the 


immaculacy  that  social  contacts  demand! 

You  may  have  hesitated  to  use  a  deodorant 
— but  now  I  bring  good  news!  A  -powder  that 
prevents  and  destroys  body  odors!  A  fine,  delicate 
powder,  as  exquisitely  feminine,  as  delightful  to 
use  as  talcum. 

Just  apply  Deodo  while  dressing  in  the  morn- 
ing— or  before  going  out.  Rub  it  under  the  arms 
and  dust  it  over  the  body.  It  acts  immediately. 
No  waiting  or  repeated  applications.  And  it 
continues  effective  throughout  a  whole  day. 

Deodo  does  not  seal  the  pores  or  prevent  es- 
sential perspiration.  It  simply  absorbs  and 
neutralizes  the  odor.  It  is  soothing  to  the  skin, 
and  tends  to  heal.  And  it's  entirely  harmless  to 
clothing.  It  will  do  much  to  preserve  the  fresh- 
ness of  your  winter  frocks — cloth  and  silk  and 
velvet  that  can't  be  washed 
successfully. 

Try  Deodo  on  sanitary  nap- 
kins. A  most  distressing  prob-

Of  course  you  don't  believe  it  Neither  do  we.  But  if  the  camera  can 
lie,  it  does  not  in  this  case.  Jack  Duffy  is  thirty  years  of  age.  He  plays 
the  rheumatic  old  gent  in  Christie  Comedies.  Either  the  press  agent 
and  cameraman  are  guilty  of  collusion,  or  Duffy  is  a  wizard  at  make-up 


few  who  tried  and  gave  up,  whether  in  despair 
or  disgust,  who  shall  say? 

Whether  it  is  difficult  for  authors  of  plays 
and  books  to  write  motion  picture  stuff,  or 
whether  the  producers  have  been  too  afraid  or 
too  blind  to  attempt  the  new  and  good  things 
given  them,  will  always  be  a  matter  of  dispute. 

But  Mr.  Arlen  is  a  businesslike  person,  young 
and  very  adaptable,  and  it  may  be  that  he  will 
succeed — better,  we  hope,  than  did  Joseph 
Hergesheimer  with  Pola's  "Flower  of  the 
Xight,''  which  was  sad. 

ONCE  telling  time  was  a  luxurious  rite  for 
Dick  Bennett's  beautiful  young  daughter, 
Constance,  whose  S6000  watch  was  the  envy  of 
everyone  on  the  lot  where  she  was  working. 

Xow  telling  time  is  a  deep  pang  for  this 
young  screen  actress,  for  while  she  was  working 
on  the  stage  in  "Sally,  Irene  and  Mary"  some- 
one stole  the  beautiful  new  watch. 

It  was  of  platinum  set  with  diamonds,  had  a 
wristband  of  pearls  and  a  diamond  and  onyx 
clasp. 

Maybe  by  now  she  has  another  one,  for  she 
just  married  one  of  the  gay  young  bloods  of 
Gotham,  rhilip  Plant,  heir  to  several  millions, 
more  or  less. 

IF  there  is  a  falling  off  of  pictures  before  long, 
you  can  lay  it  to  the  football  season.  Being 
as  how  all  Hollywood  spends  the  entire  day 
Saturday  on  football,  it  is  bound  to  cut  down 
on  the  production  schedule  a  little. 

Colleen  Moore  has  managed  to  get  Saturday 
afternoons  off  by  agreeing  to  work  Saturday 
nights — that  much  I  know.  Rod  La  Rocque. 
having  been  told  he  had  to  work  the  day  of  the 
Stanford-U.  S.  C.  game,  didn't  fuss  about  it. 
But  when  they  started  to  look  for  him  he  just 
wasn't  there,  and  1  certainly  saw  someone  who 
looked  distinctly  like  him  accompanied  by  a 
lady  very  like  Pola  Negri,  in  a  box  that  after- 
noon. 

Hondas  MacLean,  with  two  or  three  ex- 
football  heroes  in  his  productions,  has  given  up 
and  declared  it  a  holiday  for  everybody. 
Edmund  Lowe,  Pert  Lytell,  and  their  re- 
spective wives,  l.ilyan  Tashman  and  Claire 
Windsor,  haven't  missed  a  game  this  season. 
while  Ann  May  and  Gardner  Sullivan  are 
probably  the  best  rooters  out  of  the  rooting 
section,  especially  Ann.  What  a  yell  leader 
she  would  make!

Marion  Davies.  done  up  in  a  bright  sweater, 
looks  like  a  co-ed.  and  acts  like  one  for  that 
matter,  and  knows  as  much  about  the  fine 
points  of  the  game  as  some  sporting  writers  try 
to  make  you  think  they  do. 

Tom  Mix  and  his  wife  are  always  on  hand, 
and  Tom's  effort  to  stay  in  the  grandstand  is 
pitiful — you  know  he  was  a  great  football 
player  once  himself,  and  Andy  Smith,  coach  of 
the  California  Wonder  team,  is  a  buddy  of  his. 
While  as  for  Harold  Lloyd — well,  it's  a  good 
thing  nobody  recognizes  him  without  his 
glasses.  He  really  acts  like  a  first  class  lunatic. 
Mildred  says  she's  almost  ashamed  to  go  with 
him,  but  forgets  about  it  when  she  gets  there 
because  she  gets  so  excited  herself. 

Yes.  it's  a  good  director  that  can  get  a  com- 
pany all  before  the  camera  on  Saturday — but  I 
guess  they  don't  care,  because  they  go,  too. 

COLLKEX  MOORE  tells  this  one: 
At  the  Stanford-University  of  Southern 
California  game,  she  sat  right  in  back  of  the 
father  of  young  Ted  Shipkey.  Stanford's 
phenomenal  end.  who  is  being  touted  every- 
where as  a  coming  All-American.  Ted  had  a 
lot  to  do  with  Stanford's  hard-won  victory, 
and  when  the  gun  had  finally  ended  the  sus- 
pense, old  man  Shipkey  said: 

"Well.  I'll  go  down  to  the  garage  in  Anaheim 
tonight  and  collect  that  ten  dollars  I  win.  I 
bet  a  fellow  down  there  ten  bucks  Stanford  'ud 
win.  ami  he  took  me  and  says.  'Why.  Mr. 
Shipkey,  your  money's  just  as  good  as  gone 
already,  it's  just  gone.'  1  says.  "Say.  young 
man.  I  heard  a  rooster  crow  right  loud  one 
morning  and  he  got  his  head  chopped  off.'  " 

LOIS  MORAN.  the  sixteen-year-old  actress 
whose  work  in  "Stella  Dallas''  shone  forth 
so  remarkably,  is  setting  a  new  fashion  in  girls 
around  Hollywood.  Lois  isn't  what  you'd  call 
a  pretty  girl,  but  she  has  distinction,  and  she  is 
as  well-conducted  a  little  miss  as  ever  came  out 
of  a  boarding  school. 

The  other  day  a  group  of  young  chaps  from 
military  school  were  introduced  to  her.  They 
knew  a  young  college  athlete  in  New  York 
who  was  also  a  friend  of  Lois's.  and  they  spoke 
at  great  length  of  his  prowess  on  the  gridiron. 
Put  I.ois  never  mentioned  that  she  knew  him. 
Afterwards,  her  mother  asked  her  why. 

"Well."  said  I.ois.  sedately.  "I  hadn't  made 
up  my  mind  whether  I  wanted  those  boys  for

an  acquaintance.  1  notice  nothing  starts  an 
acquaintance  so  solidly  as  a  mutual  friend  So 
I  thought  I\l  wait  to  see  it  I  wanted  it  or  not  " 

LILLIAN  RICH  awoke  the  other  morning  to 
read  in  the  papers  that  she  was  the  sistei  oi 
Sail)  Kami,  a  player  in  tin-  same  company  thai 
"Billie"  is  contracted  to.    (>i  course,  it  was  a 

terrific  surprise  to  Lillian.     And  1  guess  Sails 

was  equally  as  astonished  when  she  read  the 
announcement  over  her  morning  cereal.    It  all 
happened  this  way. 
"Billie"  Rich  is  playing  in  "Braveheart" 

and  Sally  is  east  as  her  sister — in  the  picture 
So  when  the  publicity  department  of  the  studio 
sent  out  a  story  to  this  effect,  some  ruthless 
individual  grabbed  the  line  that  read  "Sally 
Rand  is  Lillian  Rich's  sister"  and  sent  it  out  as 
news.     And  then  the  fun  began. 

It  happens  that  "  Billie"  has  a  sister  who  has 
just  arrived  from  England  with  .Mother  Rich. 
Her  name  is  Cecilia  anil  she  is  as  pretty  as 
Lillian,  in  a  more  statuesque  way,  SO  it  looks  as

Lcatrice  Joy  visited  New  York  last 
month  for  the  first  time  in  three 
years.  It  took  her  all  that  time  to 
press  the  ruffles  in  her  new  "French 
Pastry'"  negligee,  which  she  de- 
signed herself.  Besides  the  negli- 
gee, Leatrice  brought  along  a  new 
mannish  haircut 


million  dollars  for  her  place,  which  was  com- 
pleted shortly  hefore  Mr.  Ince's  death,  but  she 
refused  the  offer.

*-  She  makes  her  own.  Even  in  Paris,  where 
they  are  going  considerably  to  colors  in 
women's  wear  in  the  new  styles,  Peggy  wears 
nothing  except  the  purest  white.  Her  simple 
girlish  gown  and  the  absence  of  jewelry  has 
made  her  notable  among  the  crowd  of  fashion- 
able women  who  are  now  exhibiting  the  new 
three-colored  dresses  launched  by  Poiret. 

As  a  result  of  the  adoption  of  novel  goods, 
flaring  skirts  are  considerably  reduced  in  size, 
although  assuring  the  same  freedom  of  move- 
ment. 

The  innovation  is  due  to  the  fact  that  in 
spite  of  dieting,  sports  and  beauty  treatments, 
seventy  per  cent  of  the  women  are  too  stout  to 
look  well  in  a  short  skirt  which  flares  out  at  the 
hem  like  an  inverted  morning  glory.

the  whole  dining  car  looking  at  him  when  he 
gets  interested  in  a  topic  of  conversation. 

Just  then  he  was  intensely  exercised  over 
whether  the  contractors  had  remembered  to 
put  the  tile  soap  dishes  in  the  walls  of  the  bath- 
rooms in  his  new  house.

"Sporting  Life"  is  Here 


Marion  Nixon  and  Bert  Lytell  in  "Sporting  Life" 

Do  you  folks  remember  the  old  Drury  Lane 
Theatre  melodrama,  "Sporting  Life,"  which  came  from 
England  years  ago  and  created  such  a  sensation  in  this  country?  I 
remember  sitting  through  it  with  bulging  eyes  and  tangled  emotions, 
and  I  got  so  much  out  of  it  that  I  went  to  see  it  again  and  again. 

Those  old  English  melodramas  were  splendidly 
written  and  perfectly  constructed  and  this  one,  by  Sey- 
mour Hicks  and  Cecil  Raleigh,  was  one  of  the  most  famous  of  all 
those  fathered  by  Drury  Lane.  In  picture,  as  produced  by  UNI- 
VERSAL, it  becomes  even  more  vivid  because  of  the  magnificent 
open-air  action  and  scenery  which  were  impossible  on  the  stage. 

"Sporting  Life"  is  a  big,  exciting,  kaleidoscopic 
drama,  full  of  life,  and  featuring  among  other  things  the 
great  derby  at  Epsom  Downs,  a  thrilling  fight  for  the  championship 
between  an  English  lord  and  the  British  champion — intimate  back- 
stage scenes  in  a  great  musical  comedy  —  a  thrilling  auto  race  and 
a  rescue  scene  from  the  haunts  of  kidnappers.  It  involves  high

knowledge  of  hooks  and  music  and  paintings. 
Whether  hi-  association  with  Pola  has  broad- 
i  'I  and  polished  him  in  that  respect,  I  don't 
know,  but  he  can  really  talk  with  intelligence 
and  fervor  about  a  lot  of  things,  and  he  knows 
a  Constable  from  a  Turner,  and  a  Reynolds 
from  a  Gainsborough  when  he  sees  one. 

T  WONDER  if  the  New  York  Chamber  of 
■*■  Commerce  has  had  anything  to  do  with  the 

deluge  of  films  having  a  New  York  back- 
ground   that    have    appeared    on    Broadway 

lately. 

1  -aw  no  less  than  five  big  pictures  with  a  New 
York  locale,  in  which  the  elevated,  the  sub- 
wax-.  Tilth  Avenue,  Broadway  and  other  ro- 
mantic spots  were  featured. 

"The  King  on  Wain  Street,7'  "Annie 
Kooney,"  "Classified,"  "Proud  Heart"  (the 
new  title  for  "His  People,"  reviewed  in  the 
December  Photoplay),  "  Light.-  of  Old  Broad- 
way"— and  James  Cruze  is  deserting  his  cov- 
ered wagons  and  pony  expresses  to  photograph 
New  York  City  atmosphere  for  his  new  pro- 
duction. 

ONE  of  the  cleverest  publicity  stunts  of  the 
last  few  years  is  that  put  over  by  the  First 
National  press  agent  in  publicizing  "We 
Moderns,"  Colleen  "Moore's  new  picture.  All 
of  the  leading  women's  colleges  were  asked  to 
express  an  opinion  on  the  suitability  of  replac- 
ing the  odious  term  "flapper"  with  the  more 
dignified  word  "modern,"  as  applied  to  the 
college  girl. 

Needless  to  say  the  university  girls  fell  for 
the  stunt  with  collegiate  enthusiasm,  and 
Vassar,  Wellesley  and  Mary  Mount  wired 
Colleen  Moore  their  hearty  approval  of  the 
idea. 

The  publicity  that  Colleen  Moore  and  "We 
Moderns"  will  get  from  this  stunt  will  be 
worth  a  lot  of  money. 

A  TOUCHING  little  example  of  sisters-  love 
is  being  given  in  Hollywood  every  day  by 
Anita  Stewart.  Her  brother  George,  whom 
you  may  remember  as  a  handsome  and  promis- 
ing young  juvenile  not  so  long  ago,  has  been  ill 
for  months.  And  Anita's  devotion  and  con- 
stant care  of  him  is  very  lovely.  She  goes 
almost  nowhere  and  spends  every  minute  when 
she  isn't  working,  at  his  bedside,  and  the 
doctors  tell  me  if  he  gets  well  it  will  be  entirely 
due  to  her  cheerful  presence  and  wonderful 
nursing. 

RUPERT  HUGHES  has  just  been  elected 
president  of  The  Writers,  which  is  the  seat 
of  intellectuality  and  learning  in  Hollywood. 
He  succeeds  Rob  Wagner. 

Funny  thing  about  The  Writers.  Its  chief 
failure — and  it  has  been  an  important  one — 
has  been  in  the  matter  of  food.  There  may  be 
a  flow  of  reason,  but  the  coffee  and  hot  cakes 
are  terrible.  And  evidently  the  thinkers  of  the 
industry  think  occasionally  about  the  inner 
man,  for  the  social  warmth  and  congeniality 
which  should  pervade  a  place  like  The  Writers, 
the  case  and  welcome,  are  sadly  lacking.  I 
think  it's  all  due  to  the  food. 

Maybe  if  President  Hughes  will  turn  his 
attention  to  the  kitchen  and  fix  things  so  you 
can  get  a  decent  meal  thereabouts,  The  Writers 
will  turn  out  more  masterpieces  than  hitherto. 

THERE  has  been  another  shakeup  at 
Universal.  That  studio  is  like  a  lot  of 
police  departments.  You  never  can  tell  from 
day  to  day  who's  going  to  be  chief. 

Now  Ray  Shrock  has  sent  in  his  resignation, 
and  who  can  blame  him?  After  spending 
months  in  perfecting  the  working  plan  of  the 
studio,  the  New  York  office  sends  out  an 
efficiency  man  who  never  was  inside  a  picture 
loi  before,  probably,  and  he  proceeds  to  cut  the 
working  staff  in  half.  Xow  the  place  is  a  mad- 
house; nobody  seems  to  know  what  it  is  all 
about,  and  what  will  happen  is  nobody's  busi- 
ness. This  has  happened  at  Universal  every 
few  months  for  the  last  six  years.    The  wonder 


of  wonders  is  how  the  place  runs  and  makes 
pictures. 

XTOT  content  with  the  thirteen  shiny  cups 
•L^'  she  and  Harold  won  at  various  dance  con- 
tests  in  their  pre-celebrity  days,  Bebe  Daniels 
is  now  out  to  grab  off  all  the  amateur  golf  cups 
that  glisten  temptingly  in  her  vision.  Even- 
spare  moment  finds  Bebe  rambling  the  links  of 
some  California  golf  course,  determined  to 
make  it  in  eighty. 

And  speaking  of  Bebe  and  golfing  brings  to 
light  a  doubt  that  lurked  in  the  minds  of  many 
of  her  Hollywood  friends.  Truth  to  tell,  they 
were  afraid  that  after  three  years  of  New  York 
life.  Bebe  might  spurn  the  rustic  pastimes  of 
Hollywood.  Not  so.  But  it  wasn't  until  the 
following  occurrence  was  related  that  fears 
were  allayed. 

Some  devotee  of  the  bounding  ball — I've 
forgotten  who — was  tramping  the  links  when 
he  sighted  a  girl  standing  in  the  middle  of  a 
muddy  hole.  Her  skirt  was  torn  and  frescoed 
with  mud — her  shoes  were  smeared  with  mire 
— her  hair  blew  in  the  breeze — and  she  was 
wielding  her  mashie  with  a  persistent  hand.  It 
was  Bebe. 

"Hi,  there!"  she  called  to  her  friend, 
"General  Grant  and  I  have  a  lot  in  common. 
I'm  going  to  'follow  this  line  if  it  takes  all 
summer'  to  get  this  ball  out!" 

It  proved  conclusively  to  Hollywood  that 
Bebe  was  not  "high-hatted." 

HPHE  "400"  club  has  recently  been  started  in 
*-  Hollywood  by  Frank  Elliot,  who  organized 
and  put  over  the  very  successful  and  popular 
Sixty  Club.  The  new  club  is  for  Sunday  after- 
noons, sort  of  tea  and  receptions,  and  is  held 
in  some  beautiful  gardens  in  the  foothills.  The 
opening  Sunday  was  a  huge  success,  and  it 
promises  to  be  a  new  feature  of  the  social  life 
of  the  picture  colony. 

SOMETIMES  the  lack  of  a  jack  costs  plenty 
of  jack. 

This  is  what  Robert  Frazer  learned  when  he 
was  stranded  with  a  perfectly  new-  but  per- 
fectly flat  tire  on  the  lonely  road  to  San 
Francisco  in  the  wee,  small  hours  following 
midnight. 

He  didn't  have  a  jack  and  had  to  have  one. 
He  stood  in  the  road  but  the  cars  would  speed 
up  when  they  saw  him. 

Bob  went  back  to  his  car  and  changed  his 
cap  for  a  derby,  so  he  wouldn't  look  quite  so 
much  like  a  hold-up. 

But  evidently  the  public  cannot  be  kidded 
with  head-gear. 

After  stalling  around  for  an  hour  with  fence 
posts  and  whatever  he  could  lay  his  hands  to. 
Bob  gave  it  up  as  a  bad  job  and  drove  to  the 
next  town  on  his  flat  tire. 

It  cost  him  one  hundred  dollars  for  a  new 
tire,  rim  and  tube. 

BEWARE  of  "cane  hands,"  advises  Milton 
Sills.  Xow,  cane  hands,  in  case  you  are 
puzzled,  is  a  malady  that  manifests  itself  in 
individuals  addicted  to  earning  canes.  It  is 
not  callouses,  as  we  thought  when  we  first 
heard  of  it. 

It  is  the  tragedy  of  not  knowing  what  to  do 
with  your  hands — when  you  haven't  brought 
your  cane.  Milton  Sills'  actor  friends  warned 
him  to  lay  oil  canes  when  he  first  went  on  the 
stage.  But  at  that  time  he  felt  that  a  cane  was 
absolutely  essential  to  the  dignity  and  ad- 
vancement of  his  career. 

So  he  got  the  habit. 

Then  he  was  given  a  part  wherein  he  could 
not  use  a  cane.  On  the  opening  night  he  got  an 
a; tack  of  "cane  hands."  He  knew  his  part  per- 
fectly, but  didn't  know  what  to  do  with  his 
hands.  He  took  hold  of  the  arm  of  a  chair. 
The  arm  came  oil.  This  heightened  his  con- 
fusion and  in  desperation  he  clung  to  the  dis- 
membered arm  throughout  the  scene.  It  was 
too  short  for  a  cane,  but  he  used  it  as  such. 
And  he  says  the  laughter  of  the  audience  nearly 
brought  down  the  curtain.

Mrs.  I  .  P.,  Reno,  Nevada.— You  must  be 
able  to  !_rct  the  low-down  on  everybody  living 
in  your  town.  Ik-re  arc  the  statists  s  on  Irene 
Rich  and  Anna  Q.  Nillson.  Irene  i>  5  feet,  (> 
inches  above  the  ground  and  weighs  138

Dorothy  Lee. — So  many  girls  call  me 
daddy,  particularly  those  girls  down  at  the 
Follies.  Still,  you're  welcome  to  join  my 
family.  You  want  to  know  how  old  Corinne 
Griffith  is.  Well,  Corinne. says  she's  24.  They 
couldn't  put  Corinne  and  Ronald  Colman  in  a 
love  scene  together  unless  they  used  fire-proof 
film.  I  as  wise  as  a  tree  full  of  owls?  Child, 
compared  to  me  an  owl  is  in  the  first  grade. 


A.  S.  Elmhtjrs  .  1.  I— This  Griffith  girl 
seems  to  be  <  rowding  the  mails  this  month. 
The  beautiful  Corinne  is  American-born,  hav- 
ing lifted  her  petal  like  eyelids  to  the  sun  in 
the  old  city  of  New  Orleans.  La.,  during  the 
year  of  1901.  After  a  sentence  like  that,  don't 
tell  me  I  couldn't  write  sub-titles.  I  know 
I  couldn't. 

Miss  G.  P,..  Pana,  In.. — When  you  want  a 
star's  picture,  write  to  him  at  the  studio 
w  here  he  is  working  and  send  him  a  quarter. 

Harry,  the  Bronx,  New  York. — Harry. 
you've  lost  your  bet.  Your  boy  friend.  Mal- 
colm McGregor,  did  see  the  light  of  this  world 
from  Xewark.  New  Jersey,  during  the  month 
of  October,  1896.  One  thing  to  be  said  for 
Mac.  however.     He  went  west. 


Getting  Laughs  Out  of  Sticks 


CONTINUED  FROM  PAG1    J$  ' 


Doug,  on  the  other  hand,  knows  exactly 
what  every  ingredient  is  and  where  it  goes  be- 
fore he  starts  his  production. 

Pie  reverses  the  practical  scheme  of  the  effi 
cient  studio  by  spending  six  weeks  on  the  plans 
and  four  weeks  on  the  shooting,  thus  economiz- 
ing in  the  salaries  of  players  who  are  not  en- 
gaged until  even'  phase  of  the  picture  has  been 
visualized  and  plotted. 

He  has  that  faculty  which  constitutes  geniu> 
in  the  collaborative  scheme  of  the  motion  pic- 
ture— the  ability  to  organize  a  staff  and  work 
it  harmoniously  as  one  man.  That's  the  secret 
of  great  motion  pictures.  It's  the  secret  few- 
possess. 

MacLean  is  not  an  actor.  He's  a  master 
builder.  I  mean  that  as  a  compliment.  He 
works  like  an  architect,  a  scientist,  a  man  of 
sanity. 

Thought  rather  than  action  is  his  mode.  His 
mind  holds  the  image  complete  before  he  tries 
to  perform  it.  Result :  he  is  the  greatest  expon- 
ent of  comedy-drama  in  the  business. 

He  differs  from  Lloyd  and  Chaplin  in  that  he 
tells  a  serious  story  humorously.    That  is,  he 


keeps  within  the  realm  of  reality.     He's  the 
supreme  farceur. 

In  such  independent  young  intellects  is  the 
hope  of  the  motion  picture. 

The  harmony  and  enthusia-m  of  Doug  Mac- 
Lean's  studio  makes  me  want  to  delve  into  the 
picture  industry.  A  wilder  comment  I  cannot 
make,  for  most  studios  send  me  forth  with  a 
feeling  of  having  escaped  something  worse  than 
the  lower  regions. 

There  is  no  pose  to  MacLean.  He  doesn't 
theorize  of  life  and  women  and  art.  He  talks 
his  own  stuff,  and  talks  it  so  much  more  in- 
telligently than  the  "commercial''  producer 
and  the  ''genius"  star  that  you  don't  care  a 
hoot  for  his  ideas  on  other  subjects. 

Herein  you  behold  the  plausible  harmony  of 
art  and  commerce.  It  is  plausible,  though  it 
doesn't  seem  so  until  you  meet  with  a  man  of 
applied  mentality  who  is  equipped  for  the 
medium  in  which  he  works. 

The  Jew  is  considered  the  finest  business 
man  in  the  world. 

But  here's  an  instance  where  I  think  a 
Scotchman  has  him  licked. 


Growing  Old  Gracefully 


[  CONTIMICD  FROM  PACE  45 


men  say,  men  of   the   world,   that    there    i- 
nothing  so  beautiful  as  a  sweet  old  lady. 
There  you  have  it — 

"Grow  old  along  with  me. 
The  best  is  vet  to  be, 

The  last  of  life 
Lor  which  the  first  was  planned." 
Build.  Build  nobly.  Build  character.  Build 
happiness.  Build  a  warm  heart  and  a  serene 
countenance.  Get  ready  lor  the  joys  of  matur- 
ity. Look  forward  to  the  harvest  time  and  give 
thanks.  Think  about  others  ami  not  about 
yourself.  Slay  vanity  as  early  as  you  can.  the 
vanity  of  things  that  perish,  and  must  perish, 
and  that  act  of  your-  or  mine  can  keep  from 
terisbing.      Serve.      Keep    busy.      Develop 

interests  that    will  last, 

I  know  an  old  ladj  of  nearly  seventy  who  is 
the  chosen  friend  and  confidante  ofmanyofthe 
young  writers  ami  beauties  of  Hollywood. 
Into  her  lap  are  poured  the  loves  and  laughs, 
and  heartaches  and  romances,  of  our  little 
city.     Why,  her  life  is  fuller  than  most  young

women's  could  ever  be.  Vet  she  is  only  a  little 
old  lady  in  a  gingham  apron  and  a  woolly 
while  shawl.  Why?  Why  does  youth  go  to 
her  and  keep  her  eternally  young?  Because 
-lie  has  the  wisdom,  the  stored  wisdom  of  a 
long,  hard  life,  the  deep  understanding  of  a 
heart  that  has  loved  and  suffered,  the  keen 
vision  of  age  with  the  well-spring  of  eternal 
youth  that  always  understands  youth.  That's 
why.  And  1  tell  you  she  wouldn't  change 
place-  with  anybody  on  earth  today. 

Do  you  all  forget  Ninon  de  1. 'Kudos,  who 
ruled  the  Paris  of  art  and  letter  from  her 
salon  until  she  was  ninety?  She  was  a  beauty 
in  her  youth,  and  she  had  her  heydey  as  a  con- 
queror of  hearts.  But  she  had  taste  and  wis- 
dom, and  foresight  and  intuition,  and  they  re- 
vealed to  her  what  was  beyond  the  horizon  of 
youth.  She  saw-  the  sun  of  her  beauty  set 
without  a  tear,  and  gradually  substituted  for 
her  affairs  du  couer,  her  flirtations  and  her 
toilets,  her  dances  and  her  adorers,  a  wit  and  a 
charm   that   was  mind   triumphant  over  the

leadership  For  another,  made  it  graceful!]  and 
beautifully,  and  in  her  age  was  worshipped 
liy  more  than  in  her  youth 

In  Hollywood,  youth  i-  verj  precious.  1 
have  seen  many  stais  fade  from  the  screen 
because  they  insisted  on  remaining  the  eternal 
ingenue,  and  when  the  little  sag  in  the  chin 
and  the  little  looseness  undei  th<  eiu  arrived, 
they  had  nothing  else  to  offer.  1  have  Been 
others  gracefully  accept  the  change  and  bring 
their  enlarged  talenl  and  gracious  lovelini 
paiis  suited  to  their  years,  and  long  remain 
favorites  with  good  producers  and  fans. 

Look  for  youth  in  the  hearl  Make  the 
change  from  youth  to  age,  as  you  would  make 
it  from  one  country  to  another 

And  I  tell  you  that  you  «ill  lay  up  for  youi

River." 

Or,  then  again,  a  dinner  for  press  folk  whose 
scrimmaging  ability  in  the  presence  of  food  is 
such  that,  unless  you're  in  practice,  you'll  come 
up  black  and  blue  with  nothing  but  the  neck  or, 
at  best,  a  wing. 

Tony  and  1  >aisy  Moreno  have  a  castle  on  the 
top  of  a  hill  thai  looks  like  Caesar's  fortifica- 
tions in  their  prime  and  is  harder  to  scale 
The  house  is  so  enormous  that  whole  legions 
can  have  dinner  there  and  make  their  getaway 
without  being  noticed. 

Usually  so  many  courses  are  passed  in  the 
drawing  room  that  by  the  time  dinner  is  served 
you  don"t  feel  you  can  eat  another  drop. 

As  soon  as  the  last  dret;  has  vanished  from 
your  goblet  a  Japanese  genii  appears  in  a  puff 
of  smokeand  you  find  another  one  in  your  hand. 

Little  Japs  swarm  suddenly  from  every- 
where. I  don't  know  whether  they  get  in 
through  the  plumbing  or  come  out  from  under 
the  rugs.  Wherever  they  come  from  it's  across 
the  bonier. 

Before  the  end  of  an  evening  at  the  Moreno's 
you  feel  like  an  angel,  and  unless  you're  stopped 
will  probably'  soar  off  one  of  the  battlements 
and  be  picked  up  in  the  morning  with  both 
wings  broken. 

The  place  I  go  the  mo>t  often  unasked  is  the 
Malcolm  McGregors'.  It's  one  of  those  joints 
where  you  can  yell  as  loud  as  you  like  for  ice 
and  then  go  get  it  yourself.  If  you  want  to 
crab  all  the  way  through  dinner  you  can.  and 
afterwards  you  can  l;o  to  sleep  on  the  floor 
without  being  annoyed  by  the  host  and 
hostess,  who.  as  like  as  not,  have  been  asleep 
for  hours  on  the  only  comfortable  divans. 

When  Alice  Terry  is  in  town  you  may  count 
on  her  being  there  with  her  ukulele,  singing, 
"That's  all  there  is.  there  isn'l  any  more;  stop. 
stop  knocking  at  my  front  door,  I'm  through, 
I'm  through  with  you — 00." 

Alice  has  invited  mc  to  spend  Christmas  in 
Nice  ou  the  French  Riviera,  knowing  very  well 
that  I  owe  everybody  in  town  and  couldn't 
make  my  getaway  in  anything  less  than  a  Lon 
Chancy  make-up. 

Another  reason  for  not  accepting  is  that 
Alice  has  the  amusing  habit  of  eating  off  other 
people's  plates,  and  as  I'd  be  the  guest  of  honor 
sitting  on  her  right  hand,  about  the  only  thing 
I'd  eat  would  be  potato,  that  being  the«only 
thing  she  doesn't. 

When  she  was  in  London  she  was  invited  to 
lunch  with  the  Prince  of  Wales,  and  the  night 
before  Rex  had  a  horrible  dream  that  she  was 
eating  off  the  prince's  plate.  She  probably  did, 
but  if  so  there  were  no  complaints  from  the 
prime.

way.  No  abnormal  exercise  or  diet.  A  method  your 
own   druggist   guarantees  after  18  years  of  proving 


There  was  a  time  when  fat  reduction 
was  hard  and  slew  and  risky.  It  called 
for  strenuous  exercise,  restricted  diet. 
It  often  overtaxed  the  heart  or  led  to 
malnutrition.

Fat  is  today  an  offense 

Slenderness  is  now  the  vogue.  All 
ideas  of  style  and  beauty,  health  and  fit- 
ness now  demand  it. 

Fat  does  more  than  make  one  con- 
spicuous. It  crowds  the  heart,  checks 
the  circulation,  reduces  length  of  life. 
No  one  can  be  either  attractive  or  fit 
who  carries  this  extra  load.

The  problem  of  how  to  spend  a  safe  and  sane 
Oiri.-,tmas  and  yet  be  merrie  is  becoming  more 
difficult  every  year. 

It  used  to  be  the  Fourth  of  July  that  elicited 
warnings,  but  since  Volstead  won  the  war  the 
spirit  of  independence  has  been  reduced  to  such 
a  small  percentage  that  there  isn't  enough  kick 
in  it  to  set  off  a  firecracker. 

The  only  practical  solution  that  I  can  offer  is 


to  spend  it  in  Europe  where  Christmas  can  be 
merrie  and  yet  be  dry — Imperial  Dry  1906  is 
the  best. 

Bon  voyage,  and  if  not,  at  least  be  merrie  and 
face  the  inevitable  with  a  brave  smile,  so  that 
when  friends  file  by  they'll  say.  "A  smile  on  his 
face — how  lifelike!  Oh,  well,  he's  probably 
better  off." 


The  Girl  Who  Kept  Step 


CONTINUED  PROM  PAGE  63  ] 


with  Richard  Bennett  and  Charles  Cherry  in 
"Passersby,"  a  Charles  Frohman  production. 
She  next  played  many  little  boy  parts  in  the 
Hudson  Stock  Company  in  Newark,  X.  J.,  for 
over  a  year. 

Finally  she  went  home  to  her  mother  and  she 
says,  "Mother,"  says  she,  "this  is  getting  ter- 
rible. I'm  playing  so  many  boy's  parts.  I'm 
acting  like  a  man  .  .  .  the  first  thing  I  know 
I'll  be  swearing  like  some  of  the  stage  direc- 
tors or  scene  shifters.  I've  got  to  get  out  of  this 
— why,  Mother,  I  ain't  worn  girl's  clothes  since 
Rip  Van  Winkle  woke  up."  And  the  mother 
says,  says  she:  "I  got  it  all  figured  out, 
daughter  dear.  Us  three,  you  and  Vi  and  me, 
are  going  into  pictures.  We'll  settle  down  in  a 
nice  little  home  and  I'll  cook  nice  things  for 
you — and  be  the  silent  partner  in  the  firm  of 
Dana,  Mason  &  Co." 

At  these  momentous  and  stupendous  words 
Vi  ran  in  from  the  other  room  to  hug  her 
mother — but  Shirley  had  beaten  her  to  it. 

"Mother,"  they  both  says  in  unison,  "this 
is  grandiloquent.  We'll  do  our  darndest  to 
knock'em  all  dead  in  pictures." 

"We'll  start  in  the  spring,"  says  the  mother. 

That  winter  Shirley  played  as  understudy  to 
Viola  in  "The  Poor  Little  Rich  Girl."  Instead 
of  starting  in  pictures  in  the  spring,  it  was  really 
two  years  later.  They  stayed  together  in  the 
same  company,  then  Viola  went  into  pictures 
and  Shirley  played  Gwendolyn  (the  part  Vi  had 
left)  in  "The  Poor  Little  Rich  Girl,"  for  an- 
other year.  Then  Shirley  followed  her  sister 
into  pictures. 

Within  a  year,  Shirley  was  offered  the  lead  in 
seven  pictures  called  "The  Seven  Deadly 
Sins."  They  were  not  Shirley's  sins — as  them 
were  the  days  when  a  lady  was  a  lady — a  gent 


was  a  perfect  gent — and  pictures  were  not 
what  they  ought  to  be.  In  each  of  these  pic- 
tures she  played  the  lead  for  a  different  star. 

In  1918  Shirley  Mason  joined  Paramount  as 
a  featured  player.  She  co-starred  with  Ernest 
Truex  in  "Come  On  In"  and  "The  Winning 
Girl."  She  has  played  in  scores  of  pictures  since 
— really  they  are  too  numerous  to  mention. 
Among  them  are  "Shirley  of  the  Circus," 
"Treasure  Island,"  "My  Husband's  Wives," 
"Curly-Top."  "Merely  Man-  Ann,"  "The 
Stardust  Trail,"  "The  Ragged  Heiress,"  and 
reams  of  others. 

Recently  she  followed  Viola  into  the  ranks  of 
free-lance  players,  so  that  she  may  have  her 
choice  of  roles.  .Among  her  successes  since 
leaving  the  list  of  contract  players  are  "The 
Talker,"  with  Lew  Stone  and  Anna  Q.  Xilsson, 
"What  Fools  Men"  with  Lewis  Stone,  and 
"Lord  Jim"  with  Percy  Marmont. 

She  became  the  wife  of  Bernard  Durning. 
He  was  a  great,  naive,  kindly  and  magnificent 
young  Irishman,  who  has  a  year  or  two  since 
gone  to  pastures  rich  with  rest. 

He  was  a  director  when  I  knew  him — and  I 
was  a  struggling  writer.  He  encouraged  me  to 
keep  on  keeping  on.  He  was  one  of  the  first  to 
congratulate  me  when  my  first  book  was 
accepted. 

When  I  talked  to  the  splendid  little  Shirley 
she  said,  "Bernie,  my  husband,  was  a  great 
friend  of  yours — and  of  mine." 

"Yes,  Shirley,"  I  replied,  "Bernie  was  the 
greatest  encourager  in  the  world  to  all  the 
people  who  try  to  keep  step." 

I  talked  to  both  girls  yesterday. 

They  are  going  along  the  road  of  picture 
fame  together. 

They  have  learned  to  keep  step.

my  money  on  such  a  hazardous  venture — I 
would  substitute  for  Heaven  a  four-letter  word 
ending  in  double  1.  It  seems  to  me  that  the 
Devil  dangles  the  purple  limousines  as  baubles 
to  tease  our  Hollywood  children. 

The  girl  who  started  me  off  on  these  medita- 
tions by  saying  that  she  wouldn't  wish  the  life 
of  an  actress  on  a  canine,  not  even  a  Pomera- 
nian, is  now  an  actor's  agent  and  comes  in 
contact  every  day  with  dozens  of  girls  who  are 
making  their  living  in  the  films.  She  had  in 
mind  the  physical  hardships,  the  long  hours, 
the  risks  to  life  and  limb,  but  more  particu- 
larly she  was  thinking  of  the  disappointments, 
the  heartbreaks  and  the  soul  bruises. 

I  know  a  number  of  actresses  whom  the  fans 
must  envy  and  consider  successes  h  ho  have  the 
bitterest  attacks  of  despondency.  I  cannot 
believe  that  the  business  woman  ever  teaches 
such  a  state  of  despair. 

A  girl  may  play  a  big  part  and  feel  that  her 
future  is  assured.  Then  she  will  be  idle  for 
three  months.  1  know  many  such  cases.  The 
higher  she  has  climbed,  the  harder  the  fall. 
She  sets  her  heart  on  getting  a  certain  part. 
She  is  encouraged  to  believe  that  she  will  get 


it.     Then  the  producer  decides  she  isn't  the 

type- 
One  of  the  toughest  things  about  being  an 
actor  is  that  you  have  to  be  looking  for  a  job 
all  the  time.  Of  course,  many  of  the  successful 
players  have  contracts  and  get  paid  whether 
they  work  or  not,  but  I  am  speaking  of  the 
great  majority. 

As  soon  as  the  free-lance  player  finishes  a 
picture,  he  must  start  out  to  find  another  part. 
That  means  that  he's  job  hunting  every  two  or 
three  weeks.  That  fact  alone  would  keep  me 
from  ever  trying  to  steal  Bull  Montana's 
honors.  I  hate  to  ask  for  a  job.  I  hate  to 
have  to  tell  people  how  good  I  am.  I  just 
want  them  to  admit  it  without  argument. 

The  business  manager  of  a  studio  said  to  me 
recently: 

"You'd  be  surprised  at  the  well-known 
actors  and  actresses  who  come  into  my  office 
and  tell  me  that  they  are  dead  broke— people 
whose  names  are  known  everywhere,  who  are 
regarded  as  eminently  successful." 

There  are  several  reasons  for  this.  The 
most  important  is  that  employment,  for  most 
of  the  performers,  is  irregular.    An  actor  may

Ten  Handsome  Men

of  the  Screen

young  halfback  in  crimson  who  ran  fifty-five 
yards  for  a  touchdown  in  last  Saturday's  game 
would  100k  with  his  street  clothes  on.  He 
wouldn't,  but  we  all  have  our  illusions.  Youth 
—the  handsomest,  I  think,  of  the  screen's 
youth. 

George  O'Brien — a  combination  of  Denny. 
Lyon  and  Xovarro.  What  can  you  say  about  a 
black  Irishman?  They  are  neither  the  one 
thing  nor  the  other.  A  handsome  Irishman, 
especially  a  black  one,  is  just  a  handsome  Irish- 
man, that's  all.  and  the  most  irresistible  and 
handsomest  thing  that  walks  the  globe. 

Of  the  men  who  have  begun  to  get  gray  at 
the  temples,  it  seems  to  mc  Lewis  Stone  is  the 
most  distinguished  in  appearance.  The  diplo- 
mat, with  a  ribbon  in  his  buttonhole.  The 
man-of-the-world,  the  aristocrat,  the  seigneur. 
What  will  you  have — a  king,  an  ambassador,  a 
general?  Where  will  you  rind  him  better 
drawn  than  in  that  military  carriage,  that 
marvellously  shaped  gray  head,  that  aristo- 
cratic face  and  bearing  of  Lew  Stone's? 

And  Ronald  Colman.  not  because  you  want 
to.  but  because  he  somehow  makes  you  turn 
your  head  when  he  goes  by.  Because  he  draws 
you  against  your  will.  Because  his  face  is 
memorable,  indelible.  Soldier-man,  explorer, 
adventurer — I  don't  know.    Just  because. 

That's  ten,  but,  lest  we  forget,  let's  add  the 
one  man  who  was  handsomest  of  them  all 
about  whom  nobody  ever  disagrees,  whose 
claim  no  one  ever  disputes — Wally  Reid. 


Isn't  it  worth  it? 

in  the  past  twenty  years,  Fatima  has  been 
more  [widely  imitated  probably,  than  any 
other 


cigarette — yet  today  it  is  as  distinctive 
as  eyer,  in  richness  of  taste,  in  mildness,  in 
delicacy  of  aroma.    A  few  cents  more,  yes — 


but  you  get  the  real  thing.  That's  the  difference

"Can  I  Reduce?" 

Ask  Miss  Crawford! 

Imagine  taking  off  eighty-five  pounds  in  four  months! 
But  this  big  reduction  is  not  imaginary  — Marjorie  Craw- 
ford, 6710  Merrill  Ave.,  Chicago,  did  it. 

She  used  Wallace  reducing  records  to  play  off  this  huge  ex- 
cess of  weight,  and  tliis  is  what  she  has  to  say  of  Wallace's 
method. 

"The  day  my  weight  reached  235  lbs.  I  sent  for  the  free 
trial  record  and  put  in  one  earnest  week  of  daily  use.  It  was 
novel  and  I  enjoyed  it,  and  lost  eight  pounds  that  first  week. 
I  used themovements faithfully, and  nothingelse.  I  didn't 
take  any  medicine,  I  didn't,  starve  myself,  either,  and  there 
was  not  one  week  that  I  failed  to  lose  at  least  five  pounds 
until  I  was  down  very  close  to  what  a  woman  of  my  height 
should  weigh.  My^present  weight  is  150.  You  can  be  sure 
I'm  going  to  keep  it  there.' 

Anybody  Can  Reduce  by  This 
<     Remarkable  Method 

Thousands  of  women — men,  too — have  restored  normal 
proportions  in  this  way.  Reducing  85  lbs.  is  unusual,  but 
any  number  of  women  have  played  off  thirty  and  forty 
pounds  with  these  records.  Many  more  have  used  them 
for  lesser  reductions.  Such  cases  ordinarily  take  1  ess  than 
a  month.  If  you  weigh  too  much  for  comfort,  health,  or 
appearance's  sake,  you  owe  yourself  this  relief. 

Free  Proof  to  Anyone

thing; this  free  trial  means  free. 

You'll  enjoy  the  use  of  this  demonstration  record.  You'll

ART  AND  LIFE,   Dopt.  2610 


Kalamazoo,  Mich. 


THERE  are  social  distinctions  among 
screen  folk  just  as  there  are  among  the 
laity.  The  So-and-So's  aren't  on  visiting 
terms  with  the  So-and-So's  and  Mrs.  Thing 
'Em  Bob  is  not  awfully  keen  on  meeting  that 
Airs.  What  Che  May  Call  It  socially.  Anyone 
beyond  the  social  pale  has  the  dickens  of  a  time 
"crashing  the  gale''  at  parties  where  celluloid 
decorum  decrees  the  barriers  shall  be  drawn. 

There  are  sets  and  coteries  and  cliques.  For 
example  Norma  Talmadge  and  l.ila  Lee  will  be 
found  among  the  more  serious  young  matrons 
of  the  film  world.  Xorma's  younger  sister 
Constance  heads  the  capers  of  the  madcap  set. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Douglas  Fairbanks  entertain 
foreign  nobility  with  all  the  pomp  and  circum- 
stance of  motion  picture  ducats.  And  then 
there  are  the  simple  girlish  gatherings  with 
Mary  Astor  and  Julanne  Johnson  and  all  the 
sweet  young  things  who  play  around  together 
eschewing  the  more  venturesome  occupations 
of  their  more  sophisticated  colleagues. 

BUT  lately  it  is  a  sub-deb  who  has  made  her 
appearance,  and  stirred  the  hearts  of  the 
youthful  cavaliers  whose  swagger  sticks,  and 
raccoon  coats,  and  humble  homage  are  at  her 
feet.  Sir  James  Panic  took  her  from  the  school 
room,  and  made  her  famous.  You  know  her. 
The  harbinger  of  youth.  Betty  Bronson,  the 
star  of  "  Peter  Pan." 

She  is  now  the  toast  of  the  younger  film  set 
both  in  Xew  York  and  Hollywood,  Many  a 
young  In-art  beats  beneath  his  lirsi  tuxedo  coat 
in  admiration  of  Betty  Bronson,  filmdom's 
popular  sub-deb. 

Collegiate  youths  arc  at  her  doorstep,  llcr 
telephone  rings  all  day  long.  Prep  school^  give 
haven  to  her  latest  photographs.  She  is  in- 
\  itetl  to  football  games,  the  dansants,  informal 
sub-deb  teas.  She  has  the  airs  and  graces  of  a 
little  girl  enjoying  her  first  peep  at  the  world, 
enjoying  it  hugely,  in  her  Bramley  dresses,  and 
low  heels  and  boyishly  bobbed  hair. 

All  the  film  executives'  growing  up  sons  are 

y  advertisement  In  rnoTOPT.AY  MAGAZINE  is  guaranteed. 


vying  with  each  other  for  her  favor.  All  Holly- 
wood's pre;>  school  lads  are  agog  about  her. 
She  is  being  "rushed  to  death." 

Do  you  know  the  first  thing  young  Douglas 
Fairbanks,  Jr..  did  when  he  arrived  in  Xew 
York  from  the  Coast?  He  called  up  Betty 
Bronson  at  her  hotel  and  tried  to  make  a  date 
with  her  before  he  left  for  Atlantic  City  the 
next  day.  He  has  cherished  a  boyish  admira- 
tion for  her  ever  since  she  once  "stepped  out" 
with  him  on  the  coast. 

One  of  her  most  ardent  swains  is  Jesse 
Lasky's  oldest  son  now  in  school  in  Xew  York, 
a  likely  youth.  Lasky  Junior  has  such  "a  case" 
on  Petty  that  his  father  gave  him  his  first 
tuxedo  to  take  her  to  a  dance.  The  dance 
began  at  nine,  but  young  Lasky  was  all  tricked 
out  in  his  new  suit  at  six  o'clock  for  fear,  he 
explained  to  his  dad.  Betty's  boss,  that  he 
wouldn't  be  ready  to  call  for  her  in  time. 

If  you  see  a  pretty  girl  not  more  than  seven- 
teen at  the  Broadway  opening  of  a  photoplay 
t  Betty's  in  Xew  York  now  making  "A  Kiss  for 
Cinderella")  who  claps  her  hands  in  girlish 
glee  when  anything  pleases  her.  accompanied 
by  a  slim  admiring  beau  in  the  throes  of  puppy 
love,  you  can  bet  j  our  life  on  it.  it's  Betty  and 
the  boss'  son. 

Even  the  film  reviewers  have  fallen  prey  to 
Betty's  sub-deb  charms,  especially  those  just 
out  of  college.  They  take  her  to  Coney  Island 
on  an  auto  bus,  give  her  hot  dogs,  show  her  a 
good  time  on  the  shoot  the  chutes  and  deposit 
her  on  Mamma's  doorstep  at  an  early  hour. 

Betty's  Mamma  is  strict  with  her,  and  al- 
ways knows  who  goes  out  with  her.  Betty  can 
have  her  beaus.  and  her  pretty  frocks  to  match 
her  pretty  ways,  but  she  is  taught  that  old 
adage  about  "early  to  bed,  early  to  rise,  makes 
a  girl  healthy,  wealthy  and  wise." 

Betty's  swains  never  take  her  out  in  the 
evenings  that  Betty's  mother  doesn't  say  with 
every  other  mother  in  the  land,  "Yes,  Betty 
may  go  this  time,  but  you'll  have  to  promise 
me  to  get  her  home  early."

Time  teas  when  the  little  toy  do.;  - 
And  llu-  soldier  was  pa 

And  thtii  was  tin-  time  when  our  Little  Boy  Blue, 
I  them,  and  put  them  there. 

\  ■  .don't  you  go  till  1  come,*  he  .said, 
'And  don't  you  make  any  noise' 
So  toddling  off  to  his  trundle  bod, 
lit-  dreamt  of  the  pretty  toys. 

And  as  he  was  sleeping,  an  angel  song, 

.  I  wakened  our  Utile  Hoy  HI  tie — 

Ok,  the  years  are  many,  the  years  are  long, 

Hnl  the  little  toy  friends  are  true. 

Y,<.  faithful  to  little  Hoy  Blue  the y  stand. 

Each  in  the  same  old  plaee, 

ting  the  touch  of  a  little  hand. 
The  smile  of  a  Utile  face. 
And   they    wonder,    as    Waiting    the   long    years 

throu  gh 
In  the  dust  of  the  little  chair. 
What  has  become  of  our  little  Hoy  Blue, 
Since  he  kissed  them  and  put  them  there." 

She  put  her  finger  on  it  and  looked  at  me. 
Ami  1  wished  th.it  she  could  cry.  But  1  knew 
tlv.it  she  could  not  It  is  like  that — with 
mothers. 

"1  don't  know."  she  said,  "whether  you 
know  much  about  the  theater." 

I  nodded.  I  could  cry.  but  I  would  not  have 
tried  to  speak. 

"An  actress,  with  a  baby— it's  hard  some- 
times. Whenever  I  could  manage  it.  I  made 
a  home.  That's  why  I  first  went  into  pictures. 
I  had  Hilly  with  me.  He  worked  in  pictures, 
too.  when  he  was  a  little,  little  fellow.  Cute — 
he  was — " 

She  showed  me  his  picture,  as  a  very  small 
Indian,  in  feathers  and  beads,  and  she  smiled 
down  at  it,  and  up  at  me. 

"Wasn't  he?"     We  were  silent. 

Then,  she  said,  slowly.  "There  are  always — 
things,  I  suppose,  after  they  are  gone.  I  did 
the  best  I  could  for  him  always.  I  travelled 
miles  in  dirty  trains  on  Sundays  to  see  him  for 
an  hour.  I  took  bum  engagements  so  I  could 
have  him  with  me.  I  worked  eighty-six  weeks 
on  end  in  stock,  so  I  could  send  him  to  the  very 
best  boys'  school  there  is.  I  wanted  him  to 
have  things  that  would  make  him  a  good  man. 

"  When  I  was  in  pictures  as  a  star  in  the  old 
days  at  Triangle,  I  brought  him  and  my 
mother  out  and  got  him  a  little  home  in  Culver 
City.  I  stayed  in  pictures  even  when  I  was 
very  unhappy,  because  we  were  together. 
And  I  refused  Xew  York  engagements  because 
they  were  a  chance  and  I  could  play  in  stock, 
week  after  week  no  matter  how  hard  it  was, 
and  keep  some  sort  of  a  little  home. 

"  But  there  is  one  thing  that  hurts.  I  was 
so  proud  of  him.  He  was  very  handsome,  you 
know.  He  was  the  hero  of  his  football  team  at 
the  prep  schoo!  back  east.  After  one  game, 
they  carried  him  around  on  their  shoulders. 
I  was  there — I  waved  to  him.  and  he  waved 
back.     He  looked  so  embarrassed. 

"Well,  he  came  down  to  Chicago  that  year 
to  spend  the  holidays,  because  I  couldn't  go 
to  him,  I  was  playing.  And  I  was  playing  a 
girl  of  twenty.  Now  I  am  not  so  very  old. 
Just  old  enough  to  be  Billy's  mother.  But  of 
course  that  wasn't  twenty.  The  company  J 
was  with  was  English,  and  they  didn't  like  an 
American  actress  playing  the  part.  They  were 
a  little — catty  to  me.  So  when  Billy  came, 
my  aunt  and  uncle  persuaded  me  to  let  him 
pretend  he  was  my  brother. 

'T  wish  I  hadn't  done  that.  I  was  so  proud 
— so  proud — to  be  his  mother. 

"When  he  came  to  Hollywood  after  I  got 
settled  here  to  go  back  into  pictures,  he  was 
six  feet  tall.  Imagine!  My  baby — six  feet 
tall.  And  they  wouldn't  let  me  have  my  pic- 
ture taken  with  him  because  I  was  playing

Dangerous  sickness  often 
starts  with  a  cold.  Ward  off 
your  colds  with  Musterole  be- 
fore pneumonia  starts. 

Musterole  is  a  clean,  white  ointment 
made  with  oil  of  mustard.  It  has  all  the 
healing  properties  of  the  old-fashioned 
mustard  plaster  without  the  blister. 

At  the  first  sneeze  take  Musterole 
from  the  bathroom  shelf  and  rub  the 
ointment  gently  over  congested  spot. 

It  penetrates  the  skin  and  goes  right 
down  to  the  seat  of  the  trouble. 

Rheumatism,  tonsillitis,  lumbago, 
coughs  and  colds  are  all  symptoms 
that  call  for  Musterole. 
To  Mothers:  Musterole  is  also  made 
in  milder  form  for  babies  and  small  chil-

leads  and  they  thought  people  would  think 
I  was  too  old.     My  son — as  if — as  if — " 

She  took  a  Little  pink  card  tenderly  from  the 
box  before  her.  One  of  those  little  pink  cards 
you  buy  at  the  drug  store — and  that  seem  sort 
of  silly — until  you  see  them  taken  up  gently 
Like  that,  by  empty  hands.  It  said,  "Dear 
Mother"  in  gold  across  the  top,  and  there  was 
a  little  poem,  quite  a  bad  poem,  of  course — 

"Life  dot    not  hold  enough  of  years, 

In  which  I  can  repay 

Your  loir,  although  I  send  you  all  of  mine 

.  1  nd  love  you  more  each  day.'1 

Across  it,  in  a  schoolboy  scrawl,  "To  my 
own  dear  one  mother.  With  love,  Billy." 

And  that,  somehow,  made  the  bad  little 
poem,  and  the  silly  little  pink  card  more  beau- 
tiful than  Keats  and  Rembrandt  together. 

"He  sent  me  that  on  Mother's  Day,"  she 
said,  and  put  it  back  in  the  box  with  the  baby 
pictures,  and  the  little  silver  cup  without  any 
handle,  and  a  crayon  picture  of  a  large  and 
very  crooked  pumpkin. 

"He  wanted  a  roadster,"  she  said.  "I  took 
my  contract  for  Stella  Dallas  up  to  the  hos- 
pital, to  show  it  to  him.  He  was  so  pleased. 
He  knew  how  I  wanted  to  play  it.    He  was  very 


happy  because  I  had  married  again — he  liked 
hi-  new  Dad.  They  were — chums.  My  boy 
needed  a  man  to  help  him.  But  just  the  same 
when  I  said  I'd  get  him  the  roadster  just  the 
very  day  he  got  out,  he  said,  'All  right,  Mums, 
but  let's  go  slow  at  first.  I  can  wait  a  while  for 
the  roadster.'  " 

Her  eyes,  big,  soft,  blue  eyes,  looked  at  me 
with  that  eternal  question. 

"It's  a  wonderful  thing."  she  said,  "to  be  a 
mother.  Even  if — well,  it's  wonderful  to  be 
a  mother." 

So  it  Isn't  very  difficult  after  all  to  explain 
"Stella  Dallas." 

Just  as  Eugene  Field,  the  sweetest  singer  we 
have  known,  wrote  the  deathless  song  of  Little 
Boy  Blue,  which  mothers  hold  so  very  dear, 
across  the  empty  trundle  bed  of  his  own  small 
son,  so  Belle  Bennett  played  this  great  mother 
role  with  her  hand  still  in  Billy's.  Rooted  in 
sorrow,  watered  with  fresh  tears,  both  of  these 
tender,  exquisite,  aching  sorrows  grew  to  some- 
thing beyond  even  the  most  perfect  art. 

But  I  am  wrong  al>out  one  thing. 

It  was  not  Belle  Bennett,  fine  actress  that 
she  is,  who  played  "Stella  Dallas." 

It  was  Billy  Bennett's  mother. 


Can  Barbara  Come  Back? 


COXTIXT'ED  FROM  PAGE  28  ] 


Yes,  overwork  will  do  as  well  as  anything  to 
name  Barbara's  utterly  worn-out  condition. 
But  myself — and  I  have  known  and  loved 
Bobby  for  many  years  now — I  am  reminded  of 
a  couple  of  little  poems  of  Edna  St.  Vincent 
Millay's. 

"My  candle  burns  at  both  ends; 
It  will  not  last  the  night; 
But  ah,  my  foes,  and  oh,  my  friends — 
It  gives  a  lovely  light." 
And: 
"Cut  if  you  will,  with  Sleep's  dull  knife, 
Each  da}'  to  half  its  length,  my  friends — 


The  years  that  Time  takes  off  my  life, 
He'll  take  from  off  the  other  end.'' 

That's  Barbara  La  Marr. 

But  there  is  something  deep  within  Barbara 
that  only  the  few  who  know  her  well  can  reckon 
with.  There  is  a  strength,  an  intelligence,  a 
fire,  that  have  made  her  something  more  than  a 
mere  seductive  siren  on  the  screen,  and  more 
than  a  beautiful  and  impulsive  woman  off.  If 
that  something  brings  her  through  this  disas- 
trous fight  in  the  mountains,  we  shall  see  a  new- 
Barbara.  I  think,  and  one  ready  to  face  life  as 
it  is.  and  perhaps  give  us  the  first  real  fruits  of 
the  genius  I  believe  her  to  possess.

The   Phantom  Jinx 

Some  of  the  troubles  that  beset  the  producers  with 
"The  Phantom  of  the  Opera" 

By  Robert  I:.  Sherwood 
(Editor  of  Lijc-t 


1  '3 


Till!  fantastic,  blood-curdling,  spine-chilling 
tale,  "The  Phantom  of  the  Opera,"  which 
h.is  lately  come  to  the  screen,  has  carried  with 
it  a  jinx  as  mysterious,  as  devastating,  as  fear- 
some as  the  very  ghost  which  is  its  own  leading 
character. 

Following  the  enormous  success  of  "The 
Hunchback  of  Notre  Dame,''  the  Universal 
Pictures  Corporation  cast  about  for  another 
story  which  would  giveLon  Chancy  a  chance  to 
use  more  make-up  and  Carl  l.aemmlea  chance 
to  spent!  more  money. 

"The  Phantom  of  the  Opera"  was  suggested, 
ami  approved,  so  Universal  acquired  the  screen 
rights  to  the  Gaston  Lerouz  novel — and,  at  the 
same  time,  acquired  the  Phantom  Jinx. 

That  jinx  has  subsequently  been  wrapped 
around  the  necks  of  Mr.  Laemmle  and  his  able 
lieutenants,  the  Cochrane  brothers,  and  has 
caused  them  to  wish  fervently  that  they  had 
left  the  spirit  world  alone. 

In  his  weird  story,  I.eroux  set  down  an  old 
legend  of  the  Paris  Opera  House;  it  seemed  that 
this  magnificent  temple  of  music,  built  on  a 
grand  scale  by  the  lavish  Emperor,  Napoleon 
III.  had  once  been  haunted  by  a  grim  specter, 
who  terrorized  everyone  within  the  opera  house 
and,  until  finally  driven  from  his  deep  cellar, 
made  a  general  nuisance  of  himself.  This 
character  provided  good  material  for  spook 
melodrama  on  the  screen. 

The  direction  of  "The  Phantom"  was  en- 
trusted to  Rupert  Julian,  who  had  achieved 
recognition  for  his  fine  work  in  the  completion 
of  "Merry-Go-Round,"  and  L011  Chaney, 
Man-  Philbin  and  Norman  King  were  cast  in 
the  principal  roles. 

Then  the  energetic  technical  staff  at  Uni- 
versal City  set  to  work  to  recreate  the  Paris 
opera  house,  with  its  stage,  its  enormous  audi- 
torium, its  gilded  lobby  and  its  five  tiers  of 
cellars  complete.  Having  done  this,  Mr.  Julian 
started  shooting. 

The  production  of  "The  Phantom  of  the 
Opera"  was  a  terrific  job,  and  for  several 
months  an  enormous  and  expensive  staff  was 
concentrated  on  this  one  colossal  enterprise. 

Hordes  of  extras  swarmed  through  the  mag- 
nificent scenes;  color  photography  was  used; 
ballets  were  staged;  the  company  was  taken 
out  on  location  for  garden  parties  and  duels; 
and  through  it  all  moved  the  shadow  of  the 
phantom — grim,  sinister,  oppressive. 

At  last  Mr.  Julian's  work  was  finished.  He 
was  at  liberty  to  pause  for  breath.  The  actors, 
camera-men,  carpenters,  electricians,  conti- 
nuity writers,  cutters,  editors,  title  writers  and 
laboratory  experts  turned  to  other  productions. 
"The  Phantom  of  the  Opera"  was  ready  for 
release. 

TT  was  at  this  point  that  the  Phantom  Jinx 
•^-stalked  into  the  executive  offices  of  the  Uni- 
\ersal  Corporation  and  started  to  add  a  few 
more  gray  hairs  to  the  already  silvery  thatch  of 
Carl  Laemmle. 

When  "The  Phantom  of  the  Opera  "  was  first 
shown  at  previews  in  and  about  Los  Angeles, 
the  critics  who  were  called  in  to  appraise  it 
voiced  a  vehement  desire  for  more  comedy 
relief.  "There's  too  much  spook  melodrama," 
said  they.  "Put  in  some  gags  to  relieve  the 
tension." 

So  Chester  Conklin  was  hailed  from  the  Sen- 
net t  lot,  and  the  picture  went  back  into  pro- 
duction with  Conklin  prominent  in  the  cast. 
He  contributed  a  great  deal  of  monkey  busi-

ness,  and  answered  the  demand  for  a  few  laughs. 

Then  it  was  found  that  new  sub-titles  were 
needed.  m>  one  of  the  most   reliable  writers  III 

Hollywood,  Walter  Ant  bony,  was  summoned. 

Again  "The  Phantom"  was  completed,  and 
sent  to  San  Francisco  for  display.  When  it 
was  shown  there,  it  was  received  with  some  of 
the  foggy  chill  for  which  that  city  is  justly 
famed. 

"There  are  some  gorgeous  scenes,"  was  the 
opinion  in  Frisco,  "But  the  story  as  a  whole 
doesn't  make  sense." 

Following  this  rather  discouraging  start, 
"The  Phantom  of  the  Opera"  was  crated  and 
shipped  to  New  York,  where  it  was  viewed  by 
Mr:  Laemmle,  K.  II.  Cochrane  and  P.  D. 
Cochrane,  the  officials  of  the  organization. 

AS  a  result,  the  film  was  turned  over  to  a  new 
■*  *-statT  of  editors  and  cutlers  who  proceeded 
to  hack  it  into  a  new  form,  and  new  title- 
writers  came  in  to  account  for  the  numerous 
revisions  made  in  the  continuity. 

One  of  the  elements  that  came  out  first  was 
the  comedy.  Reversing  completely  the  Los 
Angeles  opinion,  it  was  felt  that  the  gags  in- 
serted at  the  eleventh  hour  merely  clouded  the 
issue.  "The  Phantom"  was  essentially  a 
spook  melodrama,  in  which  there  was  no  legiti- 
mate place  for  "belly  laughs." 

So  Chester  Conklin,  and  all  his  scenes,  was 
put  under  the  knife — and  his  ludicrous  face 
does  not  appear  at  all  in  the  finished  picture. 
Another  casually  was  Ward  Crane,  who  played 
an  important  part  in  the  earlier  sequences  of 
the  picture.  All  the  garden  parties  and  duels 
were  removed  and  with  them  went  Ward 
Crane.  Thus  two  large  salaries,  and  a  great 
many   incidental   expenditures,  were  wasted. 

At  the  last  minute,  "The  Phantom"  was 
again  subjected  to  hasty  revision,  and  whipped 
into  final  shape,  so  that  Universale  foreign 
representative,  James  Bryson,  could  take  the 
finished  print  to  England  for  presentation. 

Mr.  Bryson  had  done  wonders  with  "The 
Hunchback  of  Notre  Dame"  in  Great  Britain, 
and  he  had  planned  a  tremendous  promotion 
campaign  for  "The  Phantom."  Unfortunately, 
he  planned  a  little  bit  too  well. 

He  arranged  for  a  military'  escort  to  accom- 
pany him  and  "The  Phantom"  from  the  dock 
in  Southampton  to  London.  His  stunt  worked 
beautifully,  and  occasioned  a  loud  and  painful 
squawk  throughout  the  British  press.  An 
American  movie  person  had  insulted  His 
Majesty's  uniform!  It  was  a  frightful  offense. 
British  pride  was  heated  to  the  boiling  point, 
and  scalded  the  unfortunate  Mr.  Bryson  who, 
after  all,  had  only  done  what  any  enterprising 
press  agent  would  have  done  in  his  place. 

As  a  result  of  this  outrage,  "  The  Phantom  of 
the  Opera"  was  boycotted  by  many  exhibitors 
in  England,  and  the  picture  was  withdrawn 
from  the  British  market. 

It  is  possible,  however,  to  write  a  happy  end- 
ing to  this  tale  of  supernatural  ill-luck.  "The 
Phantom  of  the  Opera"  has  finally  reached  the 
screen  and  is  finding  favor  with  the  public. 
It  may  even  turn  into  a  bigger  box-office  hit 
than  "The  Hunchback  of  Xotre  Dame." 

It  is  improbable,  however,  that  Carl  Laem- 
mle will  make  any  further  excursions  into  the 
spirit  world.  Ghosts  are  cantankerous  crea- 
tures; they  don't  like  publicity,  they  shrink 
from  the  spotlight. 

Ghosts,  therefore,  do  not  belong  in  the 
motion  picture  industry.

Now  we  ask  you — isn't  this  a  luxurious  home  for  a  cowboy?    Yet, 
he's  earning  it,  so  why  shouldn't  Buck  Jones  have  it? 


A  Top  Rider 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  78 


And  along  comes  the  love  sequence  and  oh 
— how  different.  Buck,  as  all  the  ladies  who 
gaze  at  pictures  know,  is  a  good  looking  bird. 

There  was  a  little  red-headed  fifteen  year  old 
girl  with  the  show.  She  was  some  rider  herself, 
later  becoming  a  World's  Champion.  She 
would  watch  Buck  do  everything  hut  recite 
poetry  and  talk  about  art  in  the  movies  on  a 
horse's  back.  She  had  run  away  from  home 
— which  was  the  sticks  of  Pennsylvania.  She 
used  to  go  out  in  the  meadows  and  coax  the 
horses  over  near  the  fence  and  get  on  for  a  free 
ride.  The  neighbors  would  say  to  her  folks — 
"Hi,  there — if  you  don't  keep  that  red-headed 
gal  o'  yours  offen  our  horses  we'll  till  her  full  o' 
buckshot." 

Xow  how  is  a  girl  to  express  herself  in  a 
neighborhood  like  that?  It  just  couldn't  be 
done — so  the  girl  ran  away. 

BUCK  would  watch  the  red-headed  girl  do  her 
stuff.  Xow  Buck  is  more  bashful  than  a 
fellow  who  sells  books  on  the  installment  plan. 
A  social  note. 

Circus  and  western  show  girls  arc  more  care- 
fully chaperoned  than  any  others  in  the  world. 
The  little  red-headed  girl's  chaperon  was  the 
nicest  middle-aged  lady.  The  little  girl  told 
her  how  lonely  Buck  must  be  on  his  horse  and 
everything.  No  woman  could  resist  an  appeal 
like  that.  Besides,  Buck  would  go  around  look- 
ing like  the  kid  who'd  lost  his  last  stick  of 
candy  in  a  mucilage  factory. 

Xow  the  chaperon's  husband  was  the  fore- 
man oxer  the  riders.  His  name  was  D.  V. 
Tantlinger,  Well,  of  course,  reader,  you  under- 
stand such  things.  Xow  "D.  V.,"  as  Buck 
calls  him.  is  the  foreman  in  charge  of  all  the 
Buck  Jones  outfit  in  Bollywood — which  con- 
sists of  a  hundred  cowboys,  horses,  wagons, 
automobiles  and  other  armies. 

D.  V.  liked  Buck  overmuch.  He's  as  quiet 
as  dawn  in  the  desert.  One  time  he  and  Buck 
took  a  ride  of  a  hundred  miles.     After  they'll

gone  ninety-eight  miles  they  saw  a  farmer 
plowing  corn  with  two  buffaloes.  D.  Y.  looked 
and  said — "Huh!"' 

Buck  says — "Did  you  say  something,  D.V.?" 

DA',  repudiated  him  with — "Don't  you  talk 
so  much.  Buck — people  won't  like  you." 

But  leave  it  to  the  red-headed  girls.  This 
one  married  Buck  in  Lima.  Ohio,  right  after  the 
show — and  in  the  circus  ring  at  that. 

That's  been  longer  ago  than  yesterday,  and 
they  have  a  little  girl  who  can  ride  a  horse  like 
a  collector  for  a  dollar  down  house  can  a 
furniture  van. 

XTOY,  .  it's  customary  for  circus people.lo  keep 
■L^  open  house.  Buck  and  the  red-headed  girl 
own  oodles  of  acres  and  a  large  Spanish  house 
that  has  no  doors  on  it.  Whenever  a  circus 
hits  town  they  have  to  go  out  to  Buck's  house 
and  corral  everybody  before  they  can  hold  a 
parade. 

And.  oh.  yes — we  left  Buck  at  Universal 
City.  He  had  a  dollar  with  him.  His  old  time 
pal  bummed  him  for  half  of  that.  The  red- 
headed girl  had  the  other  four.  Buck  bucked 
the  extra  li>t  for  six  months.  He  had  no  more 
pull  than  taffy  on  a  frosty  morning.  Big.  silent, 
fine  looking — he  has  the  poise  of  mighty  self- 
control.  His  strong  chiseled  face  stood  out 
even  in  pictures  of  western  mob  scenes. 

Flop  goes  another  ace  on  the  table.  William 
Famum  attended  a  picture  show  with  William 
Fox— he  saw  Buck's  face  on  the  screen — 
"There's  the  making  of  a  great  western  actor. 
Mr.  Fox,"  says  William  to  William.  The 
shrewd  handler  of  picture  finance  listened  well. 

A  wire  went  west — Buck  was  given  one  small 
pari  and  then  another — and  a  small  contract 
and  then  a  larger — and  the  red-headed  girl  and 
the  ten-dollar  dog  and  the  other  little  girl  were 
gladder  than  glad — they  bought  a  little  ranch 
in  the  l.ankershim  Valley  and  raised  two  chick- 
ens and  two  rabbits  and  nine-hundred  carloads 
oi  dust.    The  rabbits  ate  the  chickens — I  think

d  the  dust  blew  all  over  Universal  <'ity 
ami  a  nickel  out  ol  Carl  Laemmle's  |hh  kit 
and  they  didn't  sell  the  ranch    and  moved 

back  to  Hollywood. 

Buck  Join-,  got  away  from  "westerns"  in 
bis   last    picture.      He  does  a   straight   part 
similar  to  those  made  famous  bj  Charlie  Raj 
in  his  last  picture    -which  is  called  "J 
bones." 

And  wise  critics  claim  that  Buck's  work  in 
the  picture  is  equal  to  Ray's.     Buck  will 
loan  trail  in  pictures. 

A  red  headed  girl  Mill  watches  him.    Besides 
there's  a  ten  dollar  dog  and  another  littli 
to  consider.    Ami  ii  takes  a  lot  of  water  to  keep 
the  dust  down  on  the  Lankershim  ranch. 

Buck  Jones  has  played  the  lead  in  such  pi< 
cures  as  "  Riders  01  the  Purple  s.c-c."  "Rain 
bow  Trail,"  "The  Tlmbei  Wolf."  "  [he  Man 
Four  Square,"  "The  Bells  ol  San  Juan"  ami 
••The  Square  Shooter." 

And  the  top-rider  Buck  met  at  Universal 
City  is  now  Buck's  assistant  foreman.  He 
assists  D.V.  He  paid  the  fif  t)  cents  back  Buck

The  Shadow  Stage 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  TAGE  49  ] 

ROSE  OF  THE  WORLD— Warner  Bros. 

TN  spite  of  sincere  performances  by  an  excel- 
-Ment  cast,  this  story  fails  to  be  convincing. 
You  know  'way  in  advance  where  everybody  is 
heading,  and  why. 

Patsy  Ruth  Miller  is  jilted  by  Alan  Forrest, 
whose  father  swindled  her  grandfather.  Alan 
marries  the  wrong  girl  and  Patsy  Ruth  marries 
the  other  fellow.  She  finds  the  missing  papers 
that  establish  her  grandfather's  claims,  one 
husband  and  one  wife  die.  and  Miss  Miller  and 
Mr.  Forrest  are  reunited. 

COMPROMISE— Warner  Brothers 

TT'S  not  the  fault  of  the  players  if  this  bores 
-Lyou.  neither  is  the  director  to  blame,  although 
in  spots  the  direction  leaves  something  to  be 
desired  through  many  improbabilities.  Take. 
for  instance,  that  terrible  cyclone  scene.  We'll 
place  the  responsibility  upon  the  story — that's 
how  considerate  we  are.  Again.  Irene  Rich 
suffers  through  six  reels  as  the  neglected  lady 
who  refuses  to  be  compromised.  The  others  in 
the  cast — Give  Brook  and  Pauline  Garon. 

THE  OTHER  WOMAN'S  STORY— 

Schulberg 

A  SUPPOSED-TO-BE   mystery  murder 
story.     The  picture  is   presented    in   re 
old  fashioned  manner.    So  much  so  that  it  be- 
comes very  tiresome.    A  murder  is  committed.

and  during  the  trial,  as  ea<  h  witness  i->  called, 
there  are  continual  flashbacks— r this  constitutes 
the   whole  picture — and   with   the  constant 

jumping  bark  ami  forth  it  is  only  natural  that 
one  would  lose  interest. 

SCASDAL  STREET— Arrow 

HERE  is  a  picture  that  will  appeal  to  all  fans 
because  of  the  studio  atmosphere  through- 
out the  picture.    It  will  prove  to  be  interesting 

to  all  who  are  anxious  to  know  just  what  hap 

behind  the  scenes.     The  plot  deals  with 

the  married  life  of  ■  movie  ai  tress  ami  her  hus- 
band, who  are  both  starred  by  the  same  com 

parry.    Madge  Kennedy  and  Niles  Welch  head 

the  east. 

THE  GOLD  HUNTERS- 
Da%'is  Distributing 

ANOTHER  of  the  James  Oliver  Turwood's 
famous  stories  of  the   wide  open   spaces. 
The  plot  is  (airly  interesting  and  is  filled  with 

plenty  of  action  and  melodrama.  A  trapper 
finds  a  mine  map  and  while  trying  to  locate  the 
mine  is  followed  by  adventurers.  Of  course,  the 
hero  battles  them  off,  finds  the  mine,  etc.,  etc. 

THE  WALL  STREET  WHIZ—F.  B.  O. 

ABOUT  the  worst  Richard  Talmadge  ve- 
hicle we  have  ever  seen.    An  absurd  story 
tops  it  off — then  the  role  that  Talmadge  essays 


does  not  call  tor  the  gymnastics  that  bi 
through,    I  ience  the  picture  is  quite  ridl<  uloui

THREE  PALS— Davis  Distributing 

A  N   uninteresting  story  starring   Marilyn 

*  VMills.     Why  she  is  starreil  still  remains  a 
problem  in  our  mind.     She's  not  the  least   bit

razy  about  them.    But  why  don't  you  do  a 
;ex  story'  some  time?" 

THE  following,  I  feel,  deserve  a  Merrie 
Christmas  and  a  Happy  New  Year  in  the 
tame  of  "humanity,  and  accordingly  I  lift  a 
:1a ss  to — 

Marcus  Loew  because  he's  the  most  lavish 
>atron  of  art  since  Pope  Julius  wrote  checks  for 
ilichelangelo,  for  it  was  from  Mr.  Loew's  pen 
hat  "The  Four  Horsemen"  flowed,  "Ben 
iur,"  "The  Big  Parade"  and  all  the  glorious 
ngram  pictures,  and  because,  for  all  this,  he 
naintains  simplicity,  kindliness  and  an  open 
loor  and  is  the  only  person  connected  with 
notion  pictures  whom  I've  ever  heard  say,  "I 
lon't  know  a  great  deal  about  pictures." 

D.  W.  Griffith,  because  he's  the  little  father 
if  the  motion  picture  and  because  his  frayed 
edora  and  open-faced  watch  testify  to  the  fact 
hat  he's  the  only  one  who  has  practiced  art  for 
rt's  sake. 

Rex  Ingram  because  he  discovered  the  finest 
ctor,  married  the  wittiest  woman  and  made 
I  he  most  beautiful  pictures. 

Charlie  Chaplin  because  he  is  the  motion 
ricture. 

Joseph  Schenck  because  he  has  done  right  by 
•ur  Xorma  and  by  everyone  else  who  ever  had 
baling  with  him,  and  because,  therefore,  he 
s  becoming  the  greatest  producing  figure  in 
Jollyvvood. 

Ado'.ph  Zukor  because  from  the  first  he  has 
ieen  able  to  keep  his  standard  flying  while  all 
he  rest  went  down  to  dust. 

Harold  Lloyd  because  as  a  comedian  and 
>roducer  he  keeps  the  world's  digestion  fit  and 
tecause  as  a  man  his  character  is  ever  great 
•nough  to  meet  his  achievements. 

James  R.  Quirk  because  he  is  the  official 
,  Iragoman  to  pictures,  has  all  the  eccentricities 
if  crenius,  and  pays  me  money. 
!   Ernst  Lubitsch  because  he  illumined  the 
:enius  of  Pola  and  made  two  of  our  finest  pic- 
I  ures,  and  because  he's  a  genius  even  when 
I  hrowing  confetti  for  Warner  Bros. 
1    Mabel  Normand  because  she  is  a  genius 
nth  the  greatest  heart  in  the  world. 
I    Ramcn  Novarro  because  he  has  genius  as  an 


actor  and  musician,  and  with  it  the  character 
of  a  shining  knight,  but  especially  because  he 
supplies  me  with  copy,  is  the  best  travelling 
companion  since  D'Artagnan  and  does  Ed 
Wynn,  Patricola,  Fanny  Brice,  Harold  Lloyd, 
Alice  Terry,  Rex  Ingram  and  Ramon  Novarro 
better  than  they  do  themselves. 

Pola  Negri  because  though  she's  playing 
good  women  in  bad  pictures  she  has  the  charac- 
ter and  the  genius  to  reform  and  become  once 
more  a  bad  woman  in  good  pictures. 

Marion  Davies  because  for  all  the  extolling 
of  her  talent  and  beauty,  her  shining  quality  is 
good  sportsmanship. 

Alice  Terry  because  she  glorifies  Rex  In- 
gram's pictures  and.  off  screen,  contributes  wit 
and  wisdom  to  their  creation,  and  because  she 
does  the  same  for  this  page — when  she's  on  the 
job. 

Corinne  Griffith  because  she  has  been  elected 
the  most  beautiful  woman  on  earth  by  a  just 
tribunal  and  because  she's  just  as  charming. 

Vilma  Banky  because  she  is  the  most  pre- 
cious find  since  Pola. 

Lillian  Gish  because  she  makes  me  weep  with 
her  and  not  for  her  and  because  therefore  she 
is  the  greatest  of  tragediennes. 

Antonio  Moreno  because  he  is  a  gentleman,  a 
cavalier,  and  the  first  of  the  Latins,  and  be- 
cause in  "Mare  Xostrum"  he  at  last  has  a 
chance  to  prove  the  fine  actor  he  is. 

Douglas  Fairbanks  because  he  keeps  making 
them  bigger  and  better  without  shouting  that 
he's  going  to. 

Mary  Pickford  because  her  character,  talent 
and  wisdom  have  earned  her  the  longest  record 
of  any  star  in  pictures. 

Jesse  L.  Lasky  because  he's  leaving  it  up  to

ALLEN  E  RAV 

WALTER.  MILLED 

From  the  book  by  Edgar  Wallace 
Directed  by  Spencer  Bennett 

Out  of  the  midnight  silence  comes  a  swift 
hiss,  the  thud  of  an  arrow  as  it  strikes  into 
the  wall.  Abel  Bellamy  rises  in  his  bed 
and  fires;  the  weird  apparition  in  his  door- 
way vanishes.  A  green  clad  figure  flies 
noiselessly  through  the  corridors  of  Bel- 
lamy's castle,  and  across  the  moonlit  lawn 
...    the  Green  Archer    .    .    .    AGAIN! 

You'll  thrill  to  the  desperate  heroism  of 
a  beautiful  girl  and  the  charming,  reckless 
man  who  loves  her.  You'll  be  baffled, 
astounded,  delighted  by  "The  Green 
Archer,"  a  super-motion  picture  in  10 
weekly  chapters. 

Ask   at   your  own    local    theatre    when 
"The  Green  Archer"  will  be  shown.

Norma  Talmadge  because  she's  the  wife  of 
Joseph  Schenck  and  vice  versa,  and  will  spend 
every  dollar  down  to  her  last  million  to  make 
a  fine  picture,  and  because  my  mother  insists 
that  I  say  she  is  the  screen's  most  charming 
actress. 

Richard  Barthelmess  because  of  Tol'able 
David  and  C/icng  Iluati  and  other  fine  charac- 
ters and  because  as  an  actor  and  producer  he 
radiates  intelligence,  breeding  and  sincerity. 

Charles  Ray  because  as  a  producer  he  sank 
on  the  Mayflower  trying  to  stage  a  come-back 
for  the  pilgrim  fathers,  and  because  he's  so 
great  as  an  actor  that  he's  coming  to  the  top 
again. 

King  Yidor,  because  he  has  never  made  a  bad 
picture  and  because,  with  "The  Big  Parade." 
he  achieves  the  level  of  greatness. 

John  Gilbert,  because  some  years  ago  he  was 
blacklisted  by  the  eminent  producers  for  refus- 
ing to  play  bum  parts,  and  because,  instead  of 
starving  to  death  according  to  their  wishes,  he 
fought  his  way  to  the  present  enormous  popu- 
larity. 

Emil  Jannings,  because  I've  never  seen  him 
do  anything  that  wasn't  great,  and  espe- 
cially because  of  the  portrait  he  gave  the  world 
of  Henry  Mil.

screen  and  signed  to  star  for  Lasky,  and  be- 
cause she  is  one  of  those  charming  people. 

Raymond  Hatton,  because  he  and  Wally 
Beery  in  "Behind  the  Front"  are  going  to 
justify  the  war  for  humor's  sake,  and  because 
he's  the  husband  of  a  great  artist  named 
Frances  Hatton  who  decorated  my  beach  cabin 
for  charity's  sake. 

May  Allison,  because  she  is  an  almost  un- 
believable combination  of  beauty,  wit,  and 
gameness,  and  because  she  had  the  nerve  to 
spend  two  years  away  from  the  screen,  globe 
trotting,  to  enlarge  her  vision  beyond  Holly- 
wood Boulevard,  and  because  she  has  made  a 
great  come-back  in  "The  Viennese  Medley." 

Willis  Goldbeck,  because  he  is  the  greatest 


scenario  writer  since  Shakespeare,  and  because 
he  is  about  to  lend  his  suoerior  intelligence  to 
the  direction  of  pictures.

leadingest  of  leading  men  and  the  best  com- 
pany in  the  world  with  the  exception  of  his 
wife. 

Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns,  because  she  is  Our 
Adela  and  yet  made  good,  and  because  she  is 
the  only  great  writer  I  ever  saw  with  beautiful 
legs. 

Ivan  St.  Johns,  because  he  has  made  good  as 
a  writer,  a  politician  and  Western  editor  for 
Photoplay,  but  more  especially  because  he  has 
succeeded  at  the  well-nigh  superhuman  task  of 
managing  Our  Adela. 

Malcolm  St.  Clair,  because  he  made  great 
slapsticks  for  Sennett,  a  great  actor  of  Rin- 
tin-tin  for  Warner  Brothers,  and  now  is  making 
fine  productions  for  St.  Clair,  Lasky.  Zukor  and 
General  Public. 

Richard  Dix,  because  he  keeps  batting  them 
higher  and  higher,  and  because  he's  regular 
without  being  sappo. 

Raymond  Griffith,  because  he  is  funnier  in  a 
silk  hat  than  a  congressman  and  that's  as  funny 
as  can  be. 

Barbara  La  Marr,  because  everyone  who 
knows  her  can  speak  of  her  sincerity  and  kind- 
ness, and  because  during  her  illness  she  worked 
when  she  had  to  be  carried  onto  the  stage. 

Adolphe  Menjou,  because,  like  Ernest  Tor- 
rence,  he's  a  bad  man  who  has  made  good,  and 
because  he  puts  into  his  work  the  skill  and 
subtlety  that  goes  into  champagne. 

Bull  Montana,  because  he  never  makes  me 
sick  no  matter  how  many  quarts  he  brings  me. 
and  because  he's  probably  the  most  beautiful 
man  on  earth,  beauty  being  as  beauty  does. 

A  LL  the  Christmas  packages  have  now  been 
-^^-distributed  and  if  there  is  any  little  boy  or 
girl  who  has  not  received  one  he  may  step 
around  to  Rev.  Howe's  parsonage  after  church 
and  mix  one  for  himself.

of  beautiful  walnut,  but  neglected  and  unpol- 
ished. They  might  have  escaped  the  eye  of  the 
casual  buyer,  but  not  that  of  the  ambitious 
shopper.  With  a  little  oil  rubbed  in  them  at 
the  studio,  they  made  fitting  stands  for  the 
Chinese  jars. 

The  Queen  Anne  chests,  on  either  side  of  the 
fireplace,  are  modern,  but  I  needed  them  to  key 
in  the  covered  Queen  Anne  chair  with  the  rest 
of  the  room.  Similarly  I  ordered  the  Italian 
walnut  desk,  which  holds  the  telephone,  to 
make  the  commodes  feel  they  had  companion- 
ship. 

At  least  one  straight,  hard  chair  should  be  in 
every  drawing  room.  For  we  all  know  people 
who  remain  formal  under  all  circumstances 
In  the  corner  you  can  see  the  $25  chair  I  got 
for  such  folks. 

Not  desiring  a  period  room,  I  lighted  it  by 
the  use  of  the  peasant  china  lamp  with  its  gay 
pleated  chintz  shade.  Incidentally  the  peasant 
influence  is  a  marked  one  today  and  has  high 
artistic  value. 

In  an  old  house  which  was  being  redecorated 
I  made  my  final  purchase  of  the  rayon  damask 
hangings  edged  in  gold  fringe.  They  were  S50 
the  pair. 

All  these  things,  of  course,  were  discovered  in 
odd  corners  of  that  great  market.  New  York 
City.  Yet  almost  every  American  city  is  quite 
as  productive  of  bargains  as  Manhattan,  it'  you 
will  only  shop  for  them. 


But  then,  I  don't  need  to  tell  women  that. 
You  already  know  all  about  it.

Poor  henpecked  Joe  said  not  a  word.

Fame's  neCtat  she  would  surely  sip.

chance  at  a  juvenile  role  with  a  very  prominent 

English  actress.  It  was  only  a  chance,  though, 
nothing  set  about  it.  And  all  the  time  there 
was  my  uncle  waiting.  1  wrote  out  to  him  for  a 
job  and  I  said  to  myself,  '1*11  take  whichever 
comes  first.  I'll  make  fate  decide  for  me.'  The 
day  before  1  got  a  reply  from  him,  I  got  my  op- 
portunity at  the  theater.'' 

He  stopped  talking  to  eat  busily.  It  was  two 
o'clock,  but  the  meal  was,  for  him,  breakfast. 

"1  was  tremendously  lucky,"  he  continued, 
"and  for  a  couple  of  years  I  was  by  way  of  being 
a  small  hit.  1  must  have  been  a  pretty  terrible 
person  in  those  days,  for  1  can  remember  being 
inordinately  proud  of  myself.  Then  suddenly 
came  one  of  those  awful  seasons  which  the 
theater  frequently  strikes  in  London  and  I 
couldn't  get  a  thing.  I  did  the  weary  rounds 
day  after  day.  I  got  a  chance  at  a  couple  of 
English  movies,  but  those  two  engagements 
were  separated  by  months.  They  gave  me  the 
idea  to  come  here  and  try  my  luck  at  Ameri- 
can films. 

"I  was  able  to  secure  letters  of  introduction 
to  people  in  the  movie  colony  here  and  I 
jaunted  across  very  confidently.  I  arrived  dur- 
ing that  season  that  all  the  studios  were  closed. 
Everyone  to  whom  I  presented  my  letters  was 
out  of  work.  So  was  I  for  a  long,  long  time.  I 
couldn't  get  a  thing. 

"Here  I  was,  stranded  in  America.  I  turned 
to  the  speaking  stage.  I  didn't  know  a  soul  in 
that  end  of  the  theatrical  business.  But  with- 
out introductions,  or  with  them,  I  couldn't  get 
mything  there,  either. 

"I  lived  obscurely.  I  had  almost  no  money. 
I  knew  no  one.  I  was  miles  from  my  home  and 
so  lonely  it  was  nearly  unendurable." 

"It  was  most  awfully  good  for  me,"  Ronald 
Colman  said.  "We  all  ought  to  get  some  such 
trial  by  fire.  When  one  comes  up  too  suddenly, 
as  I  did,  gets  success  too  easily,  it  is  a  fine  thing 
if  life  kicks  you  back  to  your  place  again.  Then 
if  you  get  up  once  more,  you  know  it  is  simply 
because  life  is  letting  you  get  away  with  mur- 
der for  a  little  while,  and  not  because  of  any 
marvelous  talent  you  have  over  the  rank  and 
file." 

I  sat  very  still  while  his  dark  eyes  looked  far 
out  beyond  the  walls  of  the  Ritz,  far  out  be- 
yond that  afternoon,  out  into  the  past 

"  "p  VENTUALLY,  however,  I  got  a  few  parts 
-'-'offered  me,"  he  continued.  "They  were 
almost  without  exception  in  plays  that  re- 
hearsed three  weeks,  played  one  in  Atlantic 
City  and  then  retired  to  the  storehouse.  I  did 
several  seasons  of  that,  enough  to  keep  me 
alive  and  nothing  more.  Finally  I  got  the 
part  of  the  heavy  in  "La  Tendresse,"  which 
Henry  Miller  brought  to  Broadway.  That  got 
me  my  opportunity  in  "The  White  Sister." 

"Rising  rapidly  to  the  point  of  racing  with 
Jack  Gilbert  for  the  title  of  the  great  lover  of 
the  screen,"  I  said. 


He  shrugged  and  his  eyes  were  mocking 
mocking  himself  as  much  as  me. 

"I  have  argued  with  my  producer  against 
advertising  me  as  a  'magnetic  lover,'  "  he  said. 
"I  dislike  that.  I  think  it  creates  a  prejudice 
against  an  actor,  a  title  like  that. 

PERSONALITY  is  the  whole  thing  on  the 
screen.  I  know  that.  But  I  wish  it  were 
possible  for  people  to  admire  me  for,  shall  I 
say,  my  artistry  instead  of  liking  me  for  my 
personality,  or  the  way  I  kiss  somebody. 

"I  think  Mr.  Goldwyn's  idea  is  that  in  about 
a  year  I  may  be  ready  for  stardom,"  he  replied 
to  my  question.  "But  there  is  a  clause  in  my 
contract,  not  that  I  shall  be  starred  at  a  certain 
time,  but  that  I  shall  not  be  starred  without 
my  knowledge  and  consent.  No  matter  what 
one's  box  office  strength  is,  it  is  too  dangerous 
to  be  made  a  star  to  hurry  about  it.  I'd  rather 
take  my  time.  Then  I  won't  have  to  fall  so 
hard  when  the  fans  let  me  down. 

"I'm  not  so  terribly  ambitious,  anyway.  I 
am  not  one  of  those  chaps  who  want  to  play 
Hamlet.  I'd  like  to  earn  a  hundred  thousand 
dollars  and  invest  it.  That  would  give  one  a 
hundred  dollars  a  week  interest,  you  know. 
Then  if  you  demanded  luxuries,  you'd  have  to 
work  for  them.  The  only  thing  is  that  I  don't 
know  whether  one  would  lose  his  ambition,  if 
he  had  a  hundred  a  week  without  working  for 
it.  I'm  extremely  suspicious  that  I'd  never 
stir  from  an  easy  chair  again,  but  that  instead 
I'd  lie  there  dreaming." 

I  remarked  that  from  the  Hollywood  view- 
point, a  hundred  a  week  was  almost  poverty. 

"Hollywood  is  the  most  physical  city  in  the 
world"  he  said.  "I  don't  mean  sex  alone. 
Take  athletics.  They  all  go  in  for  them.  Fine 
things,  of  course,  but  entirely  physical.  And 
they  all  have  motor  cars  and  extreme  luxury. 
Their  homes  are  burdened  down  with  it." 

It  was  noticeable  that  he  always  said  "  they" 
when  speaking  of  other  movie  people,  as  though 
realizing  that  subconsciously  he  is  not  a  part  of 
the  Hollywood  mind. 

"I  love  California,"  he  commented.  "Its 
beauty,  its  warmth,  its  color.  But  it  is  almost 
impossible  not  to  lose  your  perspective  out 
there.  There  is  something  of  the  tropics  about 
it,  I  suppose. 

"When  I  finish  a  picture,  or  whenever  I  can 
get  a  vacation,  I  go  away.  Down  to  the  sea. 
usually,  but  at  any  rate,  to  some  wild  spot 
where  I  can  be  alone  with  my  books  and  my 
dog."

THAT  RUPTURE  CAN  BE 
CURED  under  scientifically  correct 
treatment  is  proved  by  the  voluntary 
testimonials  of  hundreds  of  thous- 
ands of  men,  women  and  children 
who  have  found  permanent  relief 
and  lasting  cure  in  the  soothing  bene- 
fits following  the  wearing  of  a 

BROOKS  APPLIANCE 

Play  hard,  work  hard  and  sleep  well 
though  ruptured!  Your  Brooks  Appliance, 
weighing  only  a  few  ounces,  cannot  be  de- 
tected through  the  clothing.  It  firmly  but 
gently  retains  the  damaged  muscular  walls 
and  thus  helps  Nature  to  proceed  with  the 
process  of  repair  and  cure.  Instead  of  the 
steel  and  leather  of  the  ordinary  truss,  soft, 
pliable  bands  hold  the  velvet-like  air-cushion 
in  place,  exerting  a  constant,  even  pressure, 
just  as  if  it  were  the  palm  of  your  hand. 

In  our  thirty-five  years  of  service  nearly  a 
million  sufferers  have  accepted  our  offer  of 
sending  a  Brooks  Appliance  on  trial  to  prove 
it  relieves  at  once,  stays  in  place  permanently 
and  assists  Nature  to  heal.  A  steel  and  con- 
crete vault  in  Marshall,  Michigan,  houses 
the  unsolicited  letters  of  the  multitude  who 
were  cured— many  of  them  from  men  who 
had  been  rejected  for  army  or  navy  service 
before  a  Brooks  Appliance  made  them  fit. 
When  you  send  in  the  coupon,  you  will 
receive  first  hand  evidence  of  cures — cover- 
ing the  span  of  life  from  early  dawn  to  night. 

Sent  On  Trial  for  Proof 

Our  Appliance  is  sent  on  trial  to  prove 
what  we  say  is  true.  You  are  sole  judge. 
Now  fill  out  and  send  the  coupon — for  your- 
self, a  relative  or  a  friend.

FRIENDLY 
ADVICE 

From 
Carolyn  ^Van  JVyck 


NEARLY  a  dozen  letters  have  come  to 
me  this  month  all  on  the  same  subject — 
the  married  man  who  flirts.  Invariably 
he  seems  to  be  an  older  man  and  the  girl  in- 
volved in  the  flirtation  a  youngster.  Almost 
always  his  approach  to  her  sympathy  is  the 
same — he  wants  the  girl's  advice,  she  under- 
stands so  well,  she  is  so  lovely.  He  sighs — if  he 
had  only  w-aited.  And  too  often  it  results  in 
the  girl,  who  desires  love,  accepting  a  sorry 
substitute. 

It  is  such  an  old,  old  story.  Yet  when  I  find 
letters  begging  for  advice  on  such  problems,  I 
realize  it  needs  retelling. 

This  is  a  problem  which  modern  life  and  its 
freedom  is  complicating.  Modern  wives  do  go 
about  with  men  other  than  their  husbands. 
Married  men  go  about  with  other  women.  It 
has  a  certain  charm,  this  social  freedom,  and  a 
very  definite  danger.  Where  the  partners  in  a 
happy  home  indulge  in  such  friendships,  no 
harm  may  be  done  anyone.  But  where  the 
two  members  of  an  unhappy  marriage  go  about 
seeking  sympathy  and  listening  ears,  it  is  ex- 
tremely dangerous.  Some  silly  little  girl, 
thrilled  by  such  attention,  may  unwittingly 
find  herself  occupying  the  distasteful  position 
of  being  "the  other  woman." 

Marital  bliss  doesn't  exist  in  every  home  in 
this  country.  We  all  know  that,  unfortunately. 
The  proportion  of  divorces,  the  number  of  re- 
marriages is  too  high  to  be  ignored.  Men  do 
give  up  one  wife  and  find  another  and  some- 
times all  parties  are  happier  than  formerly. 

Sometimes,  but  very  rarely.  I  cannot  em- 
phasize too  strongly  the  dangers  I  feel  lie  in  the 
pathway  of  the  girl  who  starts  any  sort  of  a 
friendship  with  a  man  bound  to  another 
woman. 

The  predatory  male,  the  man  who  kisses  and 
doesn't  tell  his  wife,  is  usually  a  subtle  flatterer. 
He  knows  how  much  a  young  girl  likes  to  re- 
gard herself  as  a  pool  of  wisdom  and  under- 
standing. He  knows  the  lure  the  clandestine 
has  for  her  and  the  high  adventure  there  seems 
to  be  in  going  against  the  accepted  conventions. 

Let  me  counsel  you  never  to  trust  a  man  who 
wants  you  to  sneak  about  with  him.  Don't 
deliberately  cheapen  yourself  by  being  put  in 
such  a  false  position.  If  he  tells  you  you  can 
not  afford  to  be  seen  with  him  because  he  is 
married,  he  is  telling  you  no  less  than  the 
truth. 

You  should  not  go  anywhere  with  him,  but 
if  you  do  want  to  see  him  and  talk  to  him,  if 
you  feel  there  is  a  basis  for  genuine  companion- 
ship between  you,  go  nowhere  with  him  unless 


you  go  openly,  chaperoned  at  least  by  the  pub- 
licit}-  of  your  movements.  Don't.  I  beg  of  you. 
go  out  with  a  man  whom  you  would  not  be 
willing  to  present  to  your  parents.  Never  go  to 
places  from  which  your  better  judgment  tells 
you  to  stay. 

Remember,  too,  when  you  are  indulging  in 
such  a  friendship  how  deeply  you  may  be  hurt- 
ing another  woman.  Put  yourself  in  her  place 
for  a  moment.  That  moment  may  save  you 
and  your  better  instincts. 

Even  if  the  man  acts  only  the  part  of  honor 
with  you,  if  he  tells  you  of  his  wife  and  his 
family,  the  danger  is  by  no  means  removed. 
You  may  be  perfectly  innocent,  yet  the  day 
may  easily  arrive  when  you  will  be  involved  in 
a  divorce  action,  jour  reputation  ruined  and 
your  pride  broken.  Such  friendships  are  as 
fraught  with  combustibles  as  an  explosive 
warehouse. 

Better,  then,  to  avoid  them  altogether.  The 
social  law  is  very  strong  and  it  is  only  the  most 
vigorous  personality  that  can  stand  out  against 
it  for  a  moment.  Men,  underneath  their 
worldliness,  are  conventional  and  often  when 
they  see  themselves  in  danger,  when  the  social 
pressure  gets  too  heavy  upon  them,  they  will 
run  back  to  the  home  which  they  have  pre- 
tended to  hate.  Every  social  law  protects  a 
man's  wife.  Xone  helps  the  girl  with  whom  he 
flirts. 

When  a  married  man  begins  to  whisper 
"sweet  nothings"  in  your  ear,  treat  them  as 
such.  If  he  talks  of  friendship,  be  extremely 
wary,  and  if  he  talks  of  love  and  you  have 
every  reason  to  believe  his  declarations  sincere, 
be  honest  enough  to  face  the  high  price  you 
may  have  to  pay  for  such  love. 

But  long  before  this,  I  believe,  you  will  find 
the  man  not  worth  the  scandal. 

Mary  B.,  Xew  York  City. 

Nearly  all  cold  cream  has  a  lanolin  base 
such  as  Miss  Murray  recommended  in  her  arti- 
cle. All  the  better  creams  have.  I  know.  You 
can  usually  tell  by  reading  the  trade  marks. 
Or  you  can  buy  plain  toilet  lanolin,  which  is 
highly  recommended  by  many  complexion 
specialists  and  which  has  the  advantage  of  be- 
ing quite  inexpensive.  It  comes  in  tubes  and 
should  be  warmed  slightly  before  using.  Run- 
ning the  tube  under  hot  water  is  sufficient. 
The  preparations  you  mention  are  satisfactory. 
I  know  no  periodical  devoted  exclusively  to 
beauty  subjects,  but  most  of  the  women's 
magazines  carry  authentic  departments  on 
beauty  matters. 


O  CORES  of  letters  come  to  me  monthly  asking  for  exact  advice  on  diet,  reducing, 
^  increasing  weight,  the  care  of  the  skin,  the  hair,  the  best  colors  for  blondes,  the  besi 
for  brunettes,  and  general  health.     These  letters  demand  careful  replies. 

I  have,  therefore,  had  printed  for  your  use  directions  for  obtaining  any  desired  im- 
provement in  your  appearance.  I  shall  be  very  glad  to  send  you  them  on  receipt  of  a 
stamped,  self-addressed  envelope.  I  shall  in  the  future  reply  to  such  letters  directly 
rather  than  through  these  columns. 

It  will  leave  the  columns  open  for  advice  in  matters  that  need  understanding  rather 
than  rules,  matters  of  the  heart,  of  work  and  play  and  personality.  I  think  in  this  way 
I  can  serve  you  more.

You  say  your  ankles  and  waistline  are  thick- 
ening. You  need  exercise.  One  of  the  very 
best  exercises  for  reducing  ankles  is  the  simple 
act  of  climbing  stairs.  For  your  waistline  try 
bending  and  twisting.  Touch  the  floor  to  the 
front  and  each  side  with  your  finger  tips  about 
twenty  times  daily.  Do  it  slowly.  Also  rotate 
your  body  from  the  waistline,  trying  to  swing 
a  complete  circle  with  your  upper  body  very 
relaxed,  your  lower  body  straight  and  tensed. 
Any  pedaling  exercise,  such  as  bicycle  riding, 
would  do  you  good.  I  think  you  can  afford  to 
lose  about  five  pounds  in  weight,  also. 

A.  D.  M.,  Illinois. 

Yes,  I  think  you  are  much  too  young  to  go  to 
dances.  Twelve  years  old  and  worrying  about 
boys!  You  should  not  wear  high  heeled  slip- 
pers yet.  Eat  simple  food  and  keep  your  skin 
very  clean  and  your  complexion  will  clear. 
Don't  be  in  such  a  hurry  to  grow  up.  It  isn't 
half  the  fun  you  imagine  it  is. 

Miss  R.  C,  New  York. 

Thinning  hair  is  usually  indicative  of  a  loss 
in  vitality.  The  time  of  year  has  nothing  to  do 
with  it.  If  I  were  you,  I  would  try  to  build  up 
my  general  health.  Eat  foods  containing  fats. 
Brush  your  hair  thoroughly  every  day  and 
when  washing  it  be  careful  to  remove  all  the 
soap  before  drying  it.  Try  not  to  curl  it  with 
hot  irons  or  in  any  way  lessen  its  strength. 
Encourage  it  a  little  and  I  am  sure  it  will  re- 
spond. 

B.  A.  B.,  Colorado. 

You  are  in  a  hard  position.  I  can  only  advise 
you  to  make  up  your  mind  whether  you  want 
to  become  a  business  success,  a  literary  success. 
or  a  happy  wife.  You  can  not  be  all  three  and 
while  you  are  thinking  about  the  other  two. 
you'll  not  be  able  to  manage  your  life  to  the 
advantage  of  the  most  important  one.  Wisely, 
vou  do  not  wish  to  drift  five  years  more.  Look 
into  your  own  heart  and  be  honest  with  it. 
The  lonelier  years  are  ahead  of  you.  I  feel  that 
the  love  of  a  worthy  man,  near  your  own  age. 
would  bring  you  the  greatest  content,  even  if 
his  grammar  be  imperfect.  I  shall  be  glad  to 
hear  from  you  at  any  time.

I  know  of  no  good  book  on  both  diet  and

Black  Eyes,  Red  Wing,  Minn, 

It  certainly  is  harmful  for  a  young  girl  to  go 
on  an  absolute  fast.  You  don't  need  to  do  that 
to  reduce.  Decreasing  the  size  of  legs  ami  hips 
is  as  hard  a  reducing  job  as  there  is,  but  it  can 
be  done  if  you  will  persist.  Lie  on  your  back, 
arms  stretched  above  your  head  and  pedal  an 
imaginary'  bicycle  until  your  legs  are  tired.  In 
the  same  position,  bring  the  knees  up  to  the 
chest  and  slowly  straighten  the  legs  in  midair. 
Lower  without  bending  the  knees.  Rolling 
exercises  are  helpful.  So  is  walking.  Avoid 
sitting  as  much  as  possible. 

Miss  Edythe  M.,  California. 

It  seems  to  me  you  have  treated  your  young 
man  rather  badly,  Edythe.    If  he  is  really  hurt  ; 
by  your  conduct,  as  he  might  well  be,  I  am 
afraid  you  have  lost  him.    He  seems  to  have  | 
been  very  much  in  love  with  you  and  he  did  i 
you  a  great  honor  when  he  asked  you  to  be  his 
wife.    If  you  meet  him  again,  I  would  try  to 
have  an  honest  talk  with  him.    Tell  him  you  | 
realize  how  unkindly  you  acted,  that  you  are  | 
sorry  and  that  you  do  love  him.    I  wouldn't 
write  to  him  again  since  he  ignored  your  first 
letter.    Try  to  be  natural  at  all  times.    It  is  j 
the  secret  of  real  charm. 

Aletha. 

In  other  replies  here  you  will  find  exercises 
for  reducing  your  ankles  and  legs.  I  think  you 
are  worrying  unduly.  Your  weight  is  correct 
for  your  height.  If  your  boy  friend  admires 
you  and  likes  to  go  out  with  you,  why  worry 
about  the  pretty  clothes  his  sister  has?  You 
sound  like  a  happy,  normal  girl.  Don't  fret 
yourself  into  imaginary  troubles. 

Catherine  P.,  Chicago. 

You  are  too  heavy.  You  can  afford  to  lose 
five  to  ten  pounds.  You  still  have  time  to 
grow  some  more.  Some  people  increase  in 
height  until  their  twenty-first  year.  Small  hats 
are  smarter  than  large.  Use  a  light  rich  powder 
in  white  or  rachel  for  your  fair  skin.  Yes,  there 
are  openings  for  women  movie  directors,  but 
it's  a  long  hard  road  to  them.  You  seem  to 
have  a  lively  imagination.  Writing  is  hard 
work  and  really  has  very  little  to  do  with 
"visions."  If  you  are  willing  to  toil  at  it. 
however,  you  will  soon  find  out  whether  or  not 
it  is  vour  vocation.

Gray  Hair 

in  /S  Minutes 

/N  ////■.'  privacy  oi  their  own 
homes,  hundreds  oi  thousands  of 
American  women  arc  regaining 

the  youthful   ojory  of  their   hair 

hy  using  [necto  Rapid  Notox 
And  the  success  >>t  these  is  guid- 
ing thousands  more  to  use  this, 
the  one  tint  that  is  perfectly 
natural  and  perfectly  safe. 

InectO  Rapid  Notox  is  a  strictly  scien- 
tific hair  tint,  the  creation  of  one  of  the 
most  highly  qualified  organic  chemists 
in  the  country.  It  is  designed  for  one 
purpose  only:  the  coloring  of  the  living 
and  highly  sensitive  organism  of  human 
hair.  Throughout  its  every  process  nt 
manufacture  it  is  made  to  conform  to 
laboratory  standards  of  the  most  exact- 
ing rigor. 

It  is  specifically  guaranteed  to  impart 
to  gray,  streaked  or  faded  hair  all  its 
former  harmonious  beauty  of  lustre,  of 
silken  texture  and  shade.  Its  use  can- 
not be  detected. 

Inecto  Rapid  Notox  is  guaranteed  per- 
manent, to  maintain  its  beauty  and 
fastness  of  color.  It  will  withstand  any 
condition  of  treatment  that  the  tints  of 
Nature  will:  brushing,  rubbing,  sham- 
pooing, sunshine,  salt  water,  perspira- 
tion, Turkish  or  Russian  baths,  perma- 
nent waving,  marceling  and  curling. 

The  majority  of  high  class  hairdressers 
from  coast  to  coast  use  and  recom- 
mend it.  In  the  beauty  salons  of  the 
most  luxurious  metropolitan  hotels  and 
great  department  stores  it  is  used  ex- 
clusively. 

Inecto  Rapid  Notox  is  safe:  it  cannot 
injure  either  texture  or  growth.  It 
contains  no  paraphenylene  diamine. 

Inecto  Rapid  Notox  tints  hair  in  15 
minutes.  This  convenient  rapidity  of 
action  has  recommended  Inecto  Rapid 
Notox  to  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
women,  and  the  simplicity  of  its  method 
of  application  has  enabled  them  to 
apply  it,  with  invariable  success,  in 
their  homes. 

If  you  are  concerned  about  the  appearance  of 
your  hair,  Jeanne  Ruere,  expert  of  the  great- 
est hair  coloring  manufacturers  of  the  world, 
is  ready  to  give  you  confidential  advice  upon

Gbace,  California. 

Your  weight  is  correct.  With  dark  hair  and 
eyes  and  olive  skin,  a  lovely  combination,  all 
the  richer  shades  should  be  becoming  to  you — 
yellow,  rose,  green  with  yellow  in  it,  some 
blues.    Avoid  black  and  white. 

Dorothy,  Albany,  Xew  York. 

I  wouldn't  try  to  get  my  legs  fat  if  I  were 
you.  Every  woman  I  know  is  trying  to  reduce 
hers,  since  slim  legs  and  ankles  are  very  chic. 
Your  weight  is  correct.    Don't  add  to  it. 

Gloria  R.,  New  York  City. 

Use  astringents  on  your  skin.  Witch  hazel 
is  excellent  for  tightening  the  pores.  When  you 
wash  your  face,  rub  it  with  ice  at  the  finish.  The 
soap  and  cream  you  are  using  are  both  good. 
Plenty  of  rest  is  the  best  wrinkle  vanisher  I 
know. 

Yiolet,  South  Dakota. 

You  told  your  friend  to  choose  between  you 
two  girls,  and  he  did.  I  see  nothing  for  it,  my 
dear,  but  for  you  to  abide  by  your  own  advice 
and  his  decision.  Since  he  is  going  away,  try 
to  forget  him. 

Helen  H.,  South  Dakota. 

I  think  tailored  dresses  are  charming  and 
they  are  very  smart  this  season.  They  would 
suit  your  type.  The  woolen  fabrics  in  yellow 
and  tan  would  be  good  with  your  coloring.  Be 
careful  of  your  diet.  Eliminate  pastries  and 
sweets.  Eat  green  vegetables  and  drink  lots  of 
water.  Your  complexion  will  bloom  again 
under  such  care. 

Mildred  C,  Detroit. 

Yes,  you  are  too  heavy.  You  should  lose  at 
least  twenty  pounds.  Light  green,  very  light 
blue,  some  shades  of  pink  are  all  charming  with 
auburn  hair.  Black  is  very  becoming  if  your 
skin  is  fair. 

Yicky,  Rhode  Island. 

Try  a  light  rouge.  The  orange  shades  might 
be  very  becoming  to  you.  I  don't  like  flesh 
powder  ever.    I  prefer  rachel  for  your  coloring.

How  Pola  Was  Tamed 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  54  ] 


The  only  time  she  really  got  sore  was  when 
Chester  Conklin — and  remember  that  the 
screen  hasn't  got  a  funnier  man  on  it  than 
Chester— and  Mai  bought  hot  dogs  and  soda 
pop  one  day  and  didn't  get  any  for  Pola. 

"  You  know,' '  said  Mai,  shyly,  "hot  dogs  are 
hot  dogs.  There  are  some  people  you  can 
associate  with  them  and  some  you  can't.  I 
never  thought  of  offering  Pola  a  hot  dog." 

And  Pola's  feelings  were  terribly  hurt.  She 
had  never  eaten  a  hot  dog  and  washed  it  down 
with  soda  pop,  and  it  looked  fun.  So  they  got 
her  some  right  away  and  Pola  beamed  and  was 
happy. 

One  day  Pola  went  home  from  the  studio. 
She  said  she  didn't  feel  well  and  she  thought 
she  would  probably  be  much  too  sick  to  work 
the  next  day.  That  was  a  wel'-known  cue  for 
one  of  Pola's  week  lay-offs.  Chester  began  to 
rehearse  some  of  the  funny  gag  scenes  they 
were  going  to  do  the  next  day,  he  began  telling 
Pola  what  a  great  comedienne  she  was — and 
she  is,  you  know — none  better.  Pola  looked  a 
little  wistful 

"If  you  don't  feel  well,"  said  Mai  St.  Clair, 
"don't  try  to  come  down  tomorrow.  We'll  do 
some  funny  stuff  with  Chester." 

The  next  morning,  right  on  the  dot,  there 
was  Pola. 

"I  am  very  seeck,"  she  said  pensively,  "but 
I  can  be  seeck  here  just  as  well  as  at  home." 

AND  when  the  company  went  on  location  to 
Laguna  Beach — oh,  the  times  Pola  had  re- 
fused themost  impassioned  and  polished  pleasof 
great  directors  to  go  to  Laguna  for  just  a  few 
minutes — and  Pola  wasn't  in  any  of  the  scenes — 
she  went  along  anyway,  for  fear  she  might  miss 


some  fun.  There  was  a  roller  skating  rink 
there,  and  she'd  heard  them  talking  about  it. 
The  company  thought  it  would  be  fun  to  try 
roller  skating,  most  of  them  having  been  on 
very  distant  terms  with  roller  skates  for  up- 
wards of  ten  years. 

Pola  had  never  been  on  roller  skates.  But 
she  was  on  them  that  day.  At  least  they  were 
on  her.  For  it  must  be  admitted  that  there 
were  times  when  Pola  was  on  the  floor.  She 
spent  most  of  the  time  learning  to  roller  skate, 
and  on  the  way  home  from  location  she  was  as 
happy  as  a  tired  kid. 

But  the  crowning  moment  came  on  the  stu- 
dio set. 

One  of  the  biggest  officials,  one  of  the  offi- 
cials who  had  been  cowed,  beaten,  scared  to 
death  by  Pola  the  tiger-cat,  who  had  meekly 
yielded  to  her  most  unreasonable  demands, 
was  on  the  set.  He  eyed  Pola  a  little  nervously, 
but  she  noticed  him  not  at  all.  She  was  busy 
watching  Chester  Conklin. 

Chester  had  a  large  custard  pie.  He  had 
bought  it  for  afternoon  refreshments. 

Pola  eyed  him.  She  eyed  the  custard  pie 
with  curiosity.    Then  she  went  over  to  Mai. 

"Mally,"  she  said,  and  it  was  plain  that  she 
was  torn  between  desire  and  dread,  "are  you 
going  now  to  hit  me  with  a  pie?" 

When  the  official  had  been  removed  by  the 
hospital  corps,  "The Tattooed  Countess "  pro- 
ceeded on  its  mirthful  and  harmonious  way. 

"We  do  have  such  fun,"  says  Pola  content- 
edly, and  howls  with  laughter  all  day  long. 

Licked,  I  tell  you,  by  her  own  sense  of  humor. 

Pola,  the  tragedienne,  was  a  devastating 
whirlwind.  Pola,  the  comedienne,  is  a  gentle 
summer  breeze.

Speaking  of  Pictures 


[  CONTINVED  FROM  PAGE  27  ] 


qualities,  he  could  not  have  woven 
that  gossamer  story  of  "Peter  Pan" 
into  such  a  golden  celluloid  tapestry 
of  everlasting  youth. 

"D  RENON'S  lot  in  pictures  was  not 
an  easy  one.  His  finely  wrought 
mentality  was  no  match  for  the 
picture  magnates,  who  shouted  down 
his  pleas  for  an  opportunity  to 
create  for  the  public  pictures  of  the 
glory  and  dreams  of  youth.  Perhaps 
they  are  not  to  blame.  Perhaps  the 
public  was  not  ready.  I  wonder  if 
Brenon  himself  was.  The  talented 
Irishman  was  then  impatient  of 
obstacles,  fiery  in  the  tumultuous 
urge  of  his  youth,  a  Galahad  search- 
ing the  Golden  Grail  in  a  boiler  fac- 
tory, a  bomb- throwing  revolutionary 
of  the  art. 

T  MISSED  him  for  five  years.  Then 
-*- 1  met  him.  Calm  philosophy  had 
replaced  impatience,  a  mellow  smile 
the  scowls  which  reflected  mental 
volcanic  eruptions.  His  blue  eye 
glowed  again  with  the  sense  of  humor 
which  was  his  birthright.  He  was 
laughing  with  the  world  again. 

And  so  he  gave  us  "Peter  Pan" 
and  "A  Kiss  for  Cinderella." 

In  his  art  he  occupies  today  the 
place  his  friend,  James  Barrie,  holds 
in  his. 

r^HARLIE  CHAPLIN  is  back  in 
^'Hollywood  after  his  trip  to  New 
York  for  the  opening  of  "The  Gold 
Rush."  But  he  asserts  he  isn't  going 
to  stay  long.  The  doctors,  he  says, 
have  told  him  that  he  has  a  very  bad 
heart,  and  that  he  must  retire  from 
the  screen  for  at  least  a  year  and  take 
a  complete  rest,  or  else  the  conse- 
quences will  be  fatal.  So  Charlie  is 
planning  to  go  to  Canada  for  a  year 
or  so— unless  he  decides  to  brave  the 
thing  out  and  work  till  he  drops. 

No  doubt  the  doctors  did  rind 
something  the  matter  with  Charlie's 
heart.  But  I  wonder  if,  maybe, 
after  all  these  years  of  ignoring  the 
public  and  living  his  own  life  without 
consider;! lion  of  anyone — that  has 
always  been  his  philosophy — Charlie 
isn't  beginning  to  feel  a  little  lonely. 

Perhaps  he  feels  that  the  love,  if 
not  the  admiration,  of  the  public,  is 
cooling  a  little. 

Somehow  that  story  of  Charlie's 
about   the  heart  trouble  sounded  to 


me  like  the  cry  of  a  lonely  little  boy. 
Genius  is  a  darned  lonely  thing,  any- 
way. 

"D  ECENTLY  at  a  meeting  of  the 
-*- ^Authors'  League  I  met  a  writer 
who  has  met  with  many  disappoint- 
ments in  his  efforts  to  sell  his  stories 
to  picture  companies. 

"Why  are  you  forever  encourag- 
ing poor  pictures  and  representing 
the  film  stars  as  the  acme  of  human 
perfection?"  he  asked  me,  pushing 
his  long  hair  back  from  his  eyes. 
"Don't  you  realize  that  with  the 
leading  magazine  of  motion  pictures 
you  have  a  public  responsibility?" 

"Do  you  ever  read  it?"  I  asked 
him. 

"Well — no — but,"  be  started  to 
answer,  but  I  was  on  my  way. 

HPHE  government  is  dead  set  on 
■*•  effecting  a  complete  separation  of 
any  mutual  interests  of  Mr.  Zukor's 
company,  Famous  Players-Lasky, 
and  Mr.  Loew's  organization,  the 
Metro-Goldwyn.  To  carry  this  to 
its  logical  solution  they  might  pass  a 
law  divorcing  Mr.  Loew's  son  and 
Mr.  Zukor's  daughter.  Also  get  an 
injunction  preventing  these  men, 
who  have  been  business  associates 
for  years,  from  playing  pinocle  or 
from  making  social  calls  at  each 
other's  houses. 

It  might  be  well  to  inflict  heavy 
fines  if  they  are  seen  talking  together 
without  being  chaperoned  by  a 
member  of  the  Federal  Trade  Com- 
mission. 

XT  GTE  on  the  lack  of  ideals  of  the 
■^-^  picture  business. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  sales 
executives  of  the  Paramount  Com- 
pany, "Lord  Jim"  (reviewed  else- 
where in  this  issue)  was  shown,  and 
they  were  asked  to  vote  whether  the 
unhappy  ending  should  be  changed 
to  a  Poll  van  na  finish. 

They  voted  unanimously  to  send 
it  out  unchanged  on  the  ground  that 
although  a  happier  and  sappier  end- 
ing might  bring  in  a  few  more 
tickets,  the  picture  was  a  credit  to 
their  business.

Impersonator 

Enois,  Texas. 

After  reading  the  November  issue  of  Photo- 
ri  w,  I  want  to  >.i>  that  I  will  read  many  more 
of  them,  as  1  find  Photopi  \\  the  most  inter- 
esting of  all  mo\  ie  magazines. 

1  can't  imagine  why  "Lou  and  John"  have 
it  in  for  beautiful  Mac  Murray.  1  think  she  is 
gorgeous  and  she  can  act,  and  proved  it  in 
"  I  lie  Merry  Widow."  1  only  hope  she  will  be 
as  great  a  success  in  all  her  pictures. 

She  has  many  admirers  in  this  town.  About 
her  strutting  and  pouting — she  is  very  graceful 
when  walking  or  dancing,  and  her  mouth  is 
more  beautiful  when  she  pouts.  1  think  l.ou 
must  be  a  trifle  envious. 

1  am  also  a  great  admirer  of  Rudolph  Valen- 
tino and  am  looking  forward  to  his  next  pic- 
ture "The  Lone  Eagle."  I  would  like  to  see 
Rudy  and  Mae  Murray  play  together,  and  I'd 
like  to  see  Rudy  as  a  female  impersonator.

Three  cheers  for  "The  Dark  Angel,"  the 
perfect  photoplay  of  the  year.  To  Yilma 
Banky  and  Ronald  Colman,  the  lovers  in  this 
picture,  I  send  two  enormous  bouquets.  Miss 
Banky  is  a  real  beauty  and  an  actress.    Each 

fucture  Mr.  Colman  makes  is  better  than  the

I  hope  these  ideal  screen  lovers  will  be  seen

Young  Actors  Don't  Know  Life 

Portland.  Ore. 

Why  brickbats?  If  we  cannot  say  something 
good,  why  say  anything?  We  cannot  expect  all 
the  actors  and  actresses  to  please  everylx>dy. 

I,  for  one,  want  to  answer  H.  J.  Watkins 
(I'll  bet  he  is  a  man).  The  idea  of  calling 
Eugene  O'Brien  and  Conway  Tearle  old!  They 
have  just  commenced  to  show  what  they  can 
do,  and  Milton  Sills  also.  Who  else  could  have 
played  "The  Sea  Hawk?"  A  younger  man 
would  have  spoiled  it. 

I  never  tire  of  watching  Novarro  on  the 
screen,  but  it  was  a  long  time  before  I  dis- 
covered what  was  wrong  with  him.  He  is  too 
young  yet.  These  young  boys  will  be  good 
some  day,  but  they  have  not  lived  enough  to 
put  into  their  work  what  an  older  actor  can.

Greta  an  Imitator  of  VnnaQ.? 

Avon-by  thc-Sea,  X.  J. 

In  the  past  week  we  have  witnessed  Greta 
Nisscn  in  "Lost — a  Wife."  and  Anna  Q.  Nils- 
son  in  "Winds  of  Chance."  In  our  estimation 
Greta  cannot  hold  a  candle  to  Anna  Q.  as  to 
looks,  acting  ability  and  personality. 

We.  in  school,  were  taught  to  lie  original,  and 
we  hate  a  copy-cat.  Why  doesn't  Greta  try  to 
be  original  instead  of  copying  our  Anna? 

Hen  Lyon  is  good,  too.  if  only  he  would  omit 
the  oscillation  when  he  is  about  to  show  his 
authority.

Conway's  Frown  Harmless 

Rockville  Center,  L.  I. 

Several  correspondents  of  late  have  com- 
mented adversely  upon  Conway  Tearle's  trick 
of  frowning;  their  exceedingly  literal  idea  being 
evidently  that  tears  denote  grief,  laughter,  joy, 
and  a  frown,  ill  humor. 

To  those  who  are  capable  of  appreciating  the 
exceptional  qualities  of  Conway  Tearle  as  an 
actor,  his  way  of  drawing  his  brows  together  is 
merely  an  indication  of  the  intensity  with 
which  he  throws  himself  into  his  work,  without 
pose  or  conceit. 

It  may  surprise  his  critics  to  know  that  Mr. 
Tearle's  fans  think  that  his  frown  is  just  an- 
other manifestation  of  his  singular  charm,  and 
of  his  innate  and  incomparable  distinction.

Appreciation  of  Mr.  Blinn 

Long  Beach,  Calif. 
I  think  that  Holbrook  Blinn  is  one  of  the 
most  versatile  actors  I  have  ever  seen  and  I 
admire  Rudolph  Valentino,  Ramon  Novarro 
and  Ricardo  Cortez  very  much  also.  I  am  glad 
to  see  that  Harrison  Ford  and  Alan  Forest  are 
coming  steadily  to  the  fore.

I've  got  two  choices:  quit  my  job  or  jump  in  the 
lake — either  or  both." 

Jimmy  drummed  on  the  table  with  his 
fingers,  and  finally  drawled  a  question: 

"Just  what  particular  ailment  is  Cyril  suf- 
fering with  this  time?" 

"Women!    And  he  isn't  suffering." 

"Any  particular  one?" 

"Sure.  There  always  is:  New  York,  Holly- 
wood or  on  location  somewhere — there's  al- 
ways a  particular  one.  Honestly,  you'd  think 
a  man  in  his  position  would  learn  some  time 
that  they  aren't  crazy  about  him  as  a  person 
but  because  he's  a  star.    But  no — " 

"He's  usually  a  good  picker,"  murmured 
Claxlon. 

"And  he's  still  batting  a  thousand.  Have 
you  seen  this  one?  " 

"Not  particularly.    What's  she  like?" 
.  "Fluffy  little  blonde.    Probably  thinks  Cyri! 
will  make  her  his  leading  woman — that's  Cyril's 
old  play." 

"Married?" 

"Yes." 

"What  does  hubby  think?" 

"He  doesn't  think.    He's  away." 

Jimmy  Claxton  lowered  his  voice — "Cyril 
ain't  really  cutting  up,  is  he?" 

"With  her?  Certainly  not.  He  never  does. 
Just  an  idle  flirtation  .  .  .  but  he's  taking 
chances,  and  you  and  I  both  know  it.  I  know 
Cyril  isn't  the  homewrecking  type,  but  hubby 
wouldn't  understand  that  if  he  happened  to 
hear  of  the  affair.  Damn  it!  It  would  almost 
be  better  if  things  were  more  serious.  There'd 
be  some  excuse  then.  As  it  is,  I  get  sorer  every 
time  I  reflect  that  this  doesn't  mean  a  thing  to 
Cousin  Waring  but  the  gratification  of  his 
vanity." 

"Hmm!  Tough  proposition,  Kid.  What's 
the  lady's  name?  " 

"Gould.  Juanita  Gould.  Husband  owns 
iron  mines  and  things.  Rafts  of  money.  You've 
seen  her  around — " 

"I  never  notice  women." 

"Aw,  hell!  Anyway,  she's  playing  the  deuce 
with  schedule  and  I  think  little  Rodney  Archer 
has  just  about  directed  his  last  picture  for 
Superb." 

"Suppose  you  show  that  wire   to  Cyril.'' 

Roddy  started  wearily  for  the  door.  "I 
shall,"  he  sighed,  "but  I  can  do  a  transcript  of 
the  interview  before  it  occurs." 

JIMMY  CLAXTON  stared  at  the  door  through 
J  which  his  young  friend  departed.  Jimmy  was 
worried.  And  he  was  angry.  He  had  long  been 
fond  of  Archer  and  had  been  elated  when  Su- 
perb had  raised  him  to  a  full  directorship  and 
given  him  a  Waring  picture  to  do.  The  fact 
that  Cyril  Waring  and  Rodney  Archer  were 
cousins  had  seemed  to  Claxton  a  fine  thing  for 
the  boy;  it  had  promised  co-operation  and 
general  efficiency. 

But  ever  since  the  arrival  of  the  company  in 
Alabama,  Cyril  Waring  had  responded  with  too 
great  eagerness  to  the  efforts  of  the  local  so- 
ciety crowd  to  lionize  him.  There  had  been 
parties  and  fetes  and  dances,  and.  a  thousand 
miles  away  from  the  eyes  of  his  chief  executive, 
Cyril  had  good-naturedly  refused  to  heed  his 
cousin's  pleas.  Nothing  vicious  about  it — 
Cyril  wasn't  the  vicious  type. 

He  was  having  a  good  time  and  not  worry- 
ing .  .  .  but  the  company  was  operating 
under  a  S6,ooo-a-day  overhead  and  Rodney 
Archer  was  having  the  props  knocked  from 
beneath  his  feet. 

As  for  the  affair  with  Mrs.  Gould— Claxton 
paid  little  attention  to  it.  lie  had  worked  in 
the  Waring  unit  for  several  years  and  knew 
that  Cyril  was  not  a  philanderer.  But  he 
knew  also  that  the  star  courted  the  idolatry  of 
some  addle-pated  woman  at  all  times.    It  was 


a  weak  streak  in  his.  nature:  one  for  which  he 
was  not  entirely  responsible. 

Meanwhile  Roddy  knocked  at  the  door  of 
Cyril's  suite.  A  languid  voice  bade  him  enter 
and  he  crossed  the  threshold  to  find  his  cousin 
lounging  in  an  easy  chair,  puffing  placidly  at  a 
cigarette. 

The  man  in  the  chair  was  of  that  type  which 
women  call  "  ravishing."  He  was  tall  and  lithe 
and  blonde;  a  man  of  broad  shoulders,  deep 
chest  and  unbelievably  small  waist.  His  hair 
was  curly,  his  lips  had  a  sweet,  somewhat  petu- 
lant droop.  His  complexion  was  entirely  too 
good  to  be  true  .  .  .  but  at  the  moment 
Roddy  was  seeing  none  of  his  cousin's  physical 
attributes.  What  had  riveted  his  attention 
was  the  sight  of  dinner  clothes  beneath  the 
elegantly  flowered  lounging  robe.  He  flung  a 
question  at  Cyril. 

"Parly  tonight?" 

"Yes,  Roddy — of  course." 

"The  Gould  house?" 

"Now,  Roddy — you  know  perfectly  well 
there's  nothing  wrong  in  that  affair.  Merely  a 
harmless  flirtation  to  pass  away  the  time — " 

"Sure!  Sure,  Cyril — but  have  you  ever 
stopped  to  think  whose  time  it  is  you're  passing 
away?     Read  this!" 

Cyril  perused  the  telegram  from  the  presi- 
dent of  his  company.  He  tossed  it  back  with  a 
friendly  smile. 

"Don't  let  that  worn-  you.  Roddy.  Just 
words." 

"Yes — words.  So  far  as  you're  concerned. 
But  do  you  know  what  it  means  to  me?  It 
means  that  I'm  busting  on  this  job:  busting 
higher  than  a  kite.  Just  because  you  haven't 
got  guts  enough  or  decency  enough  to  work  for 
me  as  you  should.  You  kid  yourself  that  you're 
helping  me — " 

"You  wouldn't  have  been  made  director  if 
I  hadn't  used  my  influence,  would  you?" 

"No.  And  I  wouldn't  have  flopped  this  pic- 
ture if  you  hadn't  laid  down  on  me.  It'll  be  a 
fine  spot  on  my  racord  that  I  got  half  way 
through  a  Waring  picture  and  was  kicked  out 
of  the  company.  ..."  His  voice  took  on 
a  pleading  nuance.  "Come  on  like  a  good  fel- 
low, Cyril.  Let's  cut  this  society  stuff  for 
awhile  and  finish  the  picture.  We're  due  back 
in  New  York  in  a  week — and  at  this  rate  if  we 
get  there  in  three  we'll  be  lucky." 

Cyril  was  impressed.  More,  he  was  touched. 
Perhaps  he  had  been  doing  wrong  by  his 
Roddy.  He  dropped  a  hand  on  his  cousin's 
shoulder.  "Ml  right,  Boy.  I  guess  I  have  laid 
down  on  you  a  bit.  But  tomorrow  we  start 
really  working.    Where  do  we  shoot?" 

"  Carnovon." 

"What  time  you  want  me?" 

■Ten  o'clock." 

"Good.  I'll  be  there  at  nine-forty-five. 
And  there's  my  hand  on  it !  " 

A  T  0:45  the  following  morning  the  Waring 
-'•■unit  of  the  Superb  Pictures  Corporation  as- 
sembled near  the  mine  shafts  at  Carnovon. 
The  mechanical  and  electrical  staffs  had  been 
there  for  more  than  an  hour.  Facing  that  por- 
tion of  the  mine  entrance  where  the  action  was 
to  transpire,  the  lights  had  been  arranged 
effectively  and  imposingly:  two  sun  arcs  of  150- 
amperes  each:  a  quartet  of  sixty-ampere 
broadsides  and  two  seventy-ampere  spots. 
Jimmy  Claxton  had  supervised  the  set-ups — 
and  everything  was  waiting  for  the  arrival  of 
the  star.' 

Put  Cyril  Waring  did  not  appear.  Ten 
o'clock  came  and  still  no  Cyril.  At  ten-thirty 
Roddy  borrowed  an  office  'phone  and  tele- 
phoned the  hotel.  The  operator  stubbornly 
refused  to  connect  him  with  Cyril's  room:  it 
appeared  that  Mr.  Waring  had  left  positive 
orders  that  he  was  not  to  be  disturbed.

Roddy  pleaded,  begged  and  swore.  There 
wen-  thirty  extras  ready  and  getting  paid 
five  dollars  per  day;  the  company  mi  there; 
the  li^lu^  set.  He  informed  the  operator  that 
he  was  Cyril's  director  and  finally  sin-  permit- 
ted  him  bo  s|>cik  to  the  hotel  manager.  The 
manager  was  sorry,  bul   - 

At  one  o'clock  the  performance  was  repeated. 
At  two  s  sad  and  irritated  group  of  moving 

picture   persons   were    dismissed   and    the   trek 

back  to  the  city  commenced.     When  Roddy 

stormed  into  his  cousin's  room,  Cyril  was  in 

vestigating  the  mystery  of  What  slakes  ■> 
Grapefruit  Squirt     He  was  exceedingly  con 

trite:  "AwTly  sorry,  Roddy,  old  boy  hut  1 
was  dead  to  the  world.  Didn't  get  in  until 
dawn -and  Oh!  what  a  head!  Wish  you  had 
been  with  us — " 

"I  wish  yc>i<V  been  with  us.  Cyril.  Damn 
it!  man — that's  the  tenth  time  you've  broken 
your  word.     1  suppose  this  was  some  more  of 

the  Gould  crowd? 

CYRIL  rose  frostily.  "Now,  listen  here,  Old 
Top  -there's  a  limit — " 

••  Yes,  and  I've  passed  it.  I'd  rather  quit  my 
job  than  get  tired.  Tomorrow  morning  if 
you're  not  on  location  at  ten  o'clock  I  wire  a 
complete  report  to  Carlisle  and  my  resignation 
with  it." 

"1  sa> — " 

"  You  don't  say  anything.  I'm  sick  and  tired 
of  the  whole  mess.'' 

••  Now.  Roddy— that  isn't  any  way  to  talk. 
You're  young  and  hot-headed.  I  promise  you 
that  you'll  not  get  into  trouble — ami  anyway,  1 
don't  see  what  all  the  talk's  about.  I'll  be  at 
Carnovon  at  ten  in  the  morning.    Ten  sharp. 

But  that  night  Mrs.  Could  gave  a  bathing 
party  at  the  river.  Cyril  insisted  that  he 
couldn't  go  and  poor  Mrs.  Gould  pouted  and 
fretted  and  said  her  party  would  just  simply  be 
ruined  because  she  was  giving  it  for  him  and 
him  alone  ami  she  had  made  all  preparations — 
and  Cyril  couldn't  resist  her  coaxing. 

They  ate  a  picnic  breakfast  on  the  banks  of 
the  river  and  when  Cyril  returned  to  the  hotel 
it  was  to  again  place  a  Don't  Disturb  sign  on 
his  door  and  then  fall  across  the  bed  in  ex- 
haustion. His  last  thought  before  losing  con- 
sciousness was  that  he  had  done  Roddy  a  very 
dirty  trick,  but  that  he'd  be  on  location  at  ten 
the  next  morning.  Yes,  sir — ten  sharp.  Or 
maybe  a  liitle  earlier. 

Cyril  waked  at  three  in  the  afternoon  with  a 
distinctly  dark  brown  taste  in  his  mouth.  He 
waited  nervously  for  a  visit  from  his  director 
cousin,  but  Roddy  did  not  appear.  Then  Cyril 
became  frightened — not  for  himself  but  be- 
cause there  was  a  likelihood  that  Roddy  might 
do  something  foolish.  He  called  Roddy's 
room  and  that  gentleman  informed  the  great 
star  curtly  that  he  had  nothing  to  say. 

"Now  Roddy,  listen — I'll  be  out  at  ten  in 
the  morning   .    .    .    . " 

"I  hope  you  have  a  good  time  there,  then. 
I'm  finished.  I  expect  to  leave  for  New  York 
tonight." 

"You  don't  mean — " 

"I've  done  all  the  explaining  I  intend  to  do. 
You  go  on  out  with  your  society  friends — have 
a  good  time — I  wish  you  lots  of  luck." 

Cyril  was  plunged  into  the  nethermost 
depths  of  misery  by  the  interview.  It  seemed 
to  him  that  folks  just  couldn't  understand. 
Why,  hadn't  he  been  working  hard  and  faith- 
fully for  Superb  for  four  years — and  his  salary 
a  mere  three  hundred  thousand  a  year?  It 
wasn't  at  all — he  told  himself — as  though  there 
was  anything  there  shouldn't  be  in  his  relations 
with  that  cute  little  Gould  kid.  She  was  just  a 
good  fellow — that  was  all,  and  she  did  under- 
stand him  perfectly. 

But  then  Roddy  was  so  unreasonable — and 
so  foolish.  If  he  cared  to  make  a  fuss  about 
everything — well,  Cyril  was  a  good  one  at 
heart  and  determined  to  make  amends.  He 
would  start  work  in  the  morning:  positively. 
He  bathed  and  dressed  and  prepared  to  visit 
Roddy  and  tell  that  inflamed  young  man  that 
he,  Cyril  Waring,  had  reformed. 


129 


Bul  Just  when  Cyril  would  have  left  the 
room,  something  happened.  There  came  ■ 
knock  on  the  door  and  Instinct  Informed  the 
elegant  young  star  that  this  was  not  just  an 
ordinary  knock:  it  possessed  neithei  the  defei 
ential  tow  h  ol  the  bellhop  1101  tin  agj  n 

bang    ot    a    ic|M>ilcr        Cyril    tinned    the    ke\  . 

opened    the   door   and    murmured    a    polite 

"Come  in 

Cyril's  initial  Impression  of  hi-,  visitoi  was 

that    the  gentleman   Was  eight    feet    tail        I  In- 

estimate   was   swiftly    revised    upward.      In 

breadth  the  man  was  almost  as  imposin 

he  possessed  a  tremendously  deep  chest,  and 
amis  which  appeared  unnecessarily  muscular. 

Also,  the  \isitor  seemed  to  feel  quite  at 

home,  In  fact  he  even  dosed  the  door  and 
took  the  trouble  to  lock  it.  That  little  atten 
live  act  didn't  arouse  Cyril  to  any  outbtii-t  ol 
enthusiasm,  but  he  registered  hospitality  as 
lust  ho  could  and  murmured  a  greeting.  In  fact, 

Cyril  said  right  out  loud  that  he  was  glad  to  see 

the  gentleman. 

The  gentleman  disagreed  in  a  very  positive 

manner — 

"  Like  hell  you  are!  "  said  the  gentleman,  and 
Cyril  felt  that  perhaps  he  was  right. 

"Won't  you  nave  a  seat?"  invited  the  actor. 

"  I  "ill  not." 

That  was  all  Cyril  could  think  of,  except  that 
he  was  frightened.  He  was  quite  nervous:  he 
jumped  visibly  when  the  man  spoke  again. 

"  Do  you  know  who  I  am.  Waring?" 

"No.     1  haven't  had  the  pleasure — " 

"It  isn't  a  pleasure:  don't  make  any  mistake 
about  that.  My  name  is  Could — Ferdinand 
Gould!" 

Cyril  wilted.  After  all,  Roddy  had  been 
right — he  should  have  been  making  pictures 
down  here  instead  of  squiring  a  pretty  'little 
woman  whose  husband  was  due  to  have  re- 
mained out  of  town  a  fortnight  longer. 

"I'm  delighted  to  meet  you,  Mr.  Gould — " 

"  Hah!  "  This  statement  appeared  to  amuse 
the  giant.  "I'm  not  here  to  talk  pretty.  I 
came  here  to  give  an  order." 

"  Yes  sir?" 

"There's  a  trrin  for  New  York  at  midnight 
tonight.  You're  going  to  be  a  passenger 
on  it." 

Cyril  gulped.    "Tonight?" 

"Exactly.  I'm  not  discussing  whys  or 
wherefores.    You're  going." 

"Yes  sir.  Of  course  .  .  .  but  I'm  afraid 
that  you  misunderstand  my  relations  with  your 
wife — " 

"The  devil  I  do.  If  I  misunderstood  I'd 
shoot  you.  I  do  understand — and  I  under- 
stand that  the  quicker  you  get  out  of  this  town, 
the  sooner  the  town  will  stop  gossiping.  That's 
final." 

"Very  well.  I  won't  argue  with  you  .  .  ." 
Thought  of  Roddy  came  to  Cyril.  He  was 
suddenly  very  sorry  for  Roddy.  Of  course  the 
boy  would  get  the  entire  blame  and  it  really 
wasn't  his  fault  at  all.  Before  he  knew  what  he 
was  doing  he  found  himself  telling  Ferdinand 
Gould  all  about  poor  Roddy  and  that  young 
gentleman's  dilemma.  He  even  explained  that 
Superb  was  laving  out  close  to  two  hundred 
thousand  dollars  on  this  picture  and  that  if  he 
left  town  instantly  it  would  increase  that  ex- 
pense fully  fifty  per  cent. 

MR.  GOULD  made  it  quite  clear  that  he  was 
not  interested.  But  Cyril  continued  to 
talk  and  the  more  he  talked  the  more  he  con- 
vinced himself  that  he  wanted  to  finish  the  loca- 
tion shots  on  Passion's  Paradise.  Explanations 
might  prove  exceedingly  embarrassing  and 
there  was  a  clause  in  his  contract  with  Superb 
which  would  put  him  pretty  much  in  their 
power  should  he  be  forced  to  leave  the  city  be- 
cause of  any  implied  affair  with  a  young  lady. 

Cyril  was  an  earnest  pleader  and  gradually 
the  big  man  became  impressed. 

"How  long  would  this  take?"  he  asked 
gruffly. 

"Ten  days." 

"Too  long." 

"  A  week.  then.    I'd  have  to  rush — "

Ferdinand  Gould  transfixed  Cyril  with  a 
level  eye.  "You  can  remain  one  week  under 
this  condition:  You  are  not  to  communicate 
with  my  wife  in  any  way — personally  or  by 
letter  or  telephone.  She  will  probably  call  you. 
If  she  does  you  are  to  hang  up  in  her  face.  Is 
lh.it  clear?" 

Cyril  admitted  that  it  was  clear.  He  even 
repeated  Ferdinand's  orders  so  there  could  be 
no  possibility  of  mistake.  And  when  that 
large  gentleman  had  departed  after  a  few  more 
remarks  having  to  do  with  lethal  consequences 
should  Cyril  violate  their  agreement  in  any 
slightest  detail,  Mr.  Waring  sat  down  abruptly 
in  the  chair  by  the  window  and  discovered  that 
he  was  perspiring  liberally. 

It  was  an  unusual  and  disturbing  experience 
for  the  star.  His  instinct  was  to  leave  the  city 
at  once  .  .  .  but  thought  of  the  interview 
with  his  president  when  he  should  reach  New 
York  ....  He  went  to  Roddy's  room  and 
rapped  on  the  door.  From  inside  came  the 
director's  voice. 

"Who  is  it?" 

Cyril  rapped  again.  The  door  opened  a-id 
Mr.  Waring  forced  his  lithe  frame  into  the 
room.  Roddy  favored  him  with  a  cold  and 
haughty  stare. 

"Get  out!"  ordered  Mr.  Archer. 

"Now,  Roddy,  listen — " 

"I'm  deaf.    You  beat  it!" 

Cyril  strode  across  the  room  and  grasped  his 
cousin's  shoulders  in  the  most  approved  man- 
ner of  the  screen. 

"Now  you  listen  to  me,  Roddy  Archer.  I've 
been  a  bum  and  a  rotter.  I've  done  you  dirt — 
and  I  know  it.  I've  reformed — suddenly  and 
all  over.  I'm  not  only  going  to  be  on  location 
tomorrow,  but  I'll  be  there  at  eight  o'clock,  and 
we're  going  to  work  morning,  noon  and  night 
and  get  this  location  stuff  finished  in  one  week." 

Roddy  favored  him  with  a  sneer.  "That," 
he  commented,  "is  boloney." 

"  It  isn't,  Roddy — honest  and  truly.  I  mean 
it.  Come  on,  Kid — give  me  a  chance.  Let's 
see  if  we  can't  put  this  thing  through  in  a  week." 

Mr.  Archer's  eyes  narrowed.  "Something 
happened?"  he  queried  cannily. 

"No,"  lied  Cyril.  "Not  a  thing,  except  that 
I've  waked  up.    And  this  time  I  mean  it." 

Roddy  agreed  to  try  him.  And  at  ten  min- 
utes before  eight  o'clock  the  next  morning  a 
somewhat  heavy  eyed  but  exceedingly  willing 
Cyril  Waring  showed  upon  location. 

FROM  that  moment  on,  life  changed  for 
Rodney  Archer.  Unquestionably  something 
had  happened,  because  there  was  no  holding 
Cjril.  He  threw  himself  into  his  work  with  a 
fervor  which  had  been  absent  since  his  pre-star 
days,  and  he  was  jealous  of  every  moment  of 
lost  time.  He  was  all  over  the  set  like  a  hawk, 
struggling  to  save  a  minute  here  and  there — 

."While  they're  moving  their  lights,  Roddy, 
we  can  be  rehearsing  that  next  scene,  can't  we?" 
"Well,  we  don't  usually  do  it  that  way." 
"To  thunder  with  what  we  usually  do.    We 
want  to  get  through  in  a  week.   Let's  go!" 

They  went.  After  three  days  even  Jimmy 
Claxton    protested.      The    electricians    were 


grouchy  and  sullen:  no  loafing  for  them  .  .  . 
but  now  that  Roddy's  chief  trouble  had  been 
eliminated  that  young  man  became  very  much 
of  a  martinet.  He  drove  and  drove  and  drove. 
Everyone  hustled.  It  was  a  uaily  grind  from 
eij-'ht  in  the  morning  until  ten  and  eleven 
o'clock  at  night. 

At  two  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  of  the 
seventh  day,  the  last  of  the  outdoor  shots  had 
been  filmed,  the  business  manager  had  re- 
served berths  for  the  company  on  the  New- 
York  train  departing  at  midnight  that  night 
and  Roddy  was  sprawled  on  his  bed  in  the 
hotel,  exhausted  but  supremely  happy. 

TT  had  been  a  noble  week  of  superhuman 
-■-effort.  Cyril  had  functioned  as  never  before, 
throwing  himself  heart  and  soul  into  even 
scene  to  avoid  the  necessity  for  retakes.  The 
weather  had  remained  clear — everything  was, 
as  Jimmy  Claxton  expressed  it,  chicken. 

At  eleven  o'clock  that  night  a  weary  troupe 
gathered  at  the  Terminal  Station  for  the  trip  to 
New  York.  In  the  waiting  room  was  a 
horde  of  local  people,  eager  to  pay  final  tribute 
to  the  moving  picture  company.  Cyril  stood 
impatiently  at  the  entrance  gate,  eager  to  get 
into  his  drawing  room,  and  far,  far  away  from 
the  ever-present  menace  of  the  Brobdingnagian 
Ferdinand  Gould.  Near  the  newsstand  stood 
Rodney  Archer  and  his  owlish  cameraman, 
Claxton. 

An  automobile  thrummed  outside,  and  a 
couple  alighted:  a  pretty,  fluffy  blonde  lady 
and  a  little,  shriveled,  sparsely-haired  gentle- 
man.   They  walked  through  the  waiting  room. 

"Oh,  Mr.  Archer!"  It  was  the  lady  speak- 
ing, "Can  you  tell  me  where  I  can  find  Mr. 
Waring?" 

Rodney  turned  purple  and  jerked  his  head 
toward  the  tall,  silent  figure  by  the  gate. 
"Yonder  he  is,  Mrs.  Gould.    I  hope — " 

But  the  lady  swept  gushingly  on,  towing  the 
diminutive  escort. 

Cyril  evidently  felt  the  presence  of  the  little 
blonde  lady,  for  he  turned  pale  and  glanced 
eagerly  around  searching  for  a  mode  of  escape. 
But  Mrs.  Gould  was  not  to  be  denied. 
She  was  effusively  upon  him,  chiding  him  for 
his  sudden  indifference,  inquiring  why  he  had 
been  so  neglectful — 

"Busy,"  choked  Cyril. 

"Why,  you  mean,  naughty  man.  And  I  had 
been  planning  so  many  nice  things  for  you. 
But  I'm  sure  you  are  coming  back  some  time, 
and  when  you  do — " 

At  the  newsstand  Roddy  Archer  clutched  the 
arm  of  his  friend  Jimmy  Claxton. 

"My  Gawd!"  murmured  Roddy,  "she's  go- 
ing to  introduce  him  to  Cyril." 

Which  was  exactly  what  Mrs.  Gould  was 
doing. 

"And  one  thing  more,  dear  Mr.  Waring," 
she  said,  nodding  brightly  toward  the  shrimpy 
little  man  at  her  side,  "I  want  you  to  feel  that 
you  are  really  welcome  in  my  home.  I  want 
you  to  meet  my  husband."  And  she  turned 
imperiously  to  the  frightened  male  person  be- 
side her:  "Ferdinand,"  she  ordered,  "shake 
hands  with  Cyril  Waring'"

Mr.  \N:ii kins.  You  Started 
Something 

Kansas  Citj .  Mo. 

Herewith,  please  6nd  one  large,  bard,  and 
highly  explosn i-  brickbat  to  be  dropped  on  the 
head  of  11  J  Watkins,  whose  letter  appearing 
in  November  Photopi  tv  contains  an  exceed- 
ingly petty  and  childish  outburst  regarding 
Beveral  oi  our  able  and  popular  actors,  taaong 
these  actors  who  seem  to  be  making  Mr.  Wat- 
kins  unhappy  is  Thomas  Meighan. 

Tom  is  my  favorite,  and  1  cannot  let  the  re- 
marks of  Mr.  Watkins  go  unchallenged. 

It  has  always  been  a  mystery  to  me  why  fans 
persist  in  going  to  see  the  players  they  do  not 
like  and  then  spend  their  time  criticizing  them. 
This  kind  of  criticism  is  neither  constructive 
nor  helpful,  and  it  makes  mighty  poor  reading. 
If  you  don't  like  Thomas  Meighan,  stay  at 
home.  Personally,  I  cannot  see  how  even  a 
stone  image  could*  resist  the  friendliness,  good- 
fellowship  and  kindliness  that  Mr.  Meighan 
radiates.

Tola  Negri,  a  poinsettia.

Mary  Astor,  marigolds  and  asters. 

Leatrice  Joy,  nasturtiums  in  a  window  liox. 

Mary  Pickford,  pink  roses  on  blue  velvet. 

Bebe  Daniels,  a  bunch  of  daisies. 

Xita  Xaldi,  a  crimson  hollyhock.

Constance  Talmadge,  a  cluster  of  wild  roses. 

Gloria  Swanson,  wild  flowers  in  tall  green

Lois  Wilson,  cherry  and  apple  blossoms. 

Lillian  Gish,  lilies  of  the  valley. 

Betty  Bronson,  little  yellow  buttercups.

Pringle 

East  Orange.  X.  J. 

I  want  to  disagree  with  H.  G.  Watkins  and 
give  one  grand  and  glorious  cheer  for  Conway 
Tearle.  I  don't  know  whether  people  just  can't 
see  or  whether  they  don't  know  a  good  actor 
when  they  see  one.  Can't  we  please  have  him 
on  the  cover?  I  am  not  the  only  one  who  has 
made  this  request. 

And  now  for  a  brickbat.  Why  isn't  Aileen 
Pringle  satisfied  with  her  present  popularity? 
Why  must  she  go  and  cut  off  all  her  hair  and  try 
to  change  her  style?

me  she  is  the  zero  of  the  movies.  After  I  read 
praise  of  her  in  your  honest  magazine,  I  try  to 
give  her  one  more  chance,  but  I  always  leave 
the  theater  with  a  feeling  of  time  wasted.  She 
insists  upon  showing  her  ridiculous  profile  and 
pouting  with  her  bee-stung  lips.

Meet-    Ml  the  Trains 

Albuquerque,  N.  M. 

1  think  this  is  a  very  interesting  column. 

I  have  seen  quite  a  few  of  our  movie  stars, 
personally,  and  want  to  tell  you  what  I  think  of 
them.  They  usually  get  off  the  train  and  walk 
up  and  down  the  platform  here  on  their  trips 
from  coast  to  coast. 

I  saw  Gaston  Glass  yesterday  and  my  heart 
almost  stopped.  He  is  wonderful  looking  and 
was  very  pleasant.  I  saw  our  darling  Mary 
Pickford  three  times,  and  she  is  too  beautiful 
for  words.  She  had  a  smile  on  her  face  all  the 
time  she  was  here,  and  as  for  Douglas  Fair- 
banks, I  liked  him  very  much.  Owen  Moore 
looks  exactly  as  he  does  on  the  screen,  and  Ma- 
rion Davies  is  beautiful.  Mae  Murray  is  just 
like  a  big  doll,  and  words  cannot  describe 
Ricardo  Cortez.  Jackie  Coogan  is  cute,  but  I 
was  disappointed  when  I  saw  Gloria.  She  was 
very  cordial,  but  I  don't  think  she  is  as  pretty- 
off  the  screen  as  on.  I  didn't  care  much  for 
Eugene  O'Brien's  looks  either. 

Don't  you  think  I  am  lucky  living  in  a  town 
between  Los  Angeles  and  New  York,  where  I 
can  get  to  see  the  stars?  I  feel  so  proud  to  dis- 
cuss the  stars,  and  after  seeing  so  many,  I  just 
had  to  write  about  it.

I  n-funny  Comedies  Get  It 

Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 
There  are  too  many  trashy  comedies  on  the 
screen.  Looking  at  them  is  a  rank  dissipation 
of  mind  and  time.  It  doesn't  matter  how  non- 
sensical a  comedy  is  if  it  makes  us  laugh,  but 
most  of  the  short-reelers  are  a  positive  nuisance.

Handsomest  Man — 
You'd  Be  Surprised 

Port  Arthur,  Ont,  Canada. 

There  has  been  enough  controversy  in  your 
columns  as  to  who  is  the  best  looking  man  in 
the  movies.    Xow  I  will  settle  it.    Rex  Ingram! 

Mr.  Ingram  is  the  finest  looking  of  them  all. 
Please,  can't  we  have  some  nice  big  pictures  of 
him.  and  not  just  little  scraps?  How  about  an 
interview  with  him?  He  is  the  best  director, 
and  would  be  the  best  actor,  if  he  wished  to.

I  f  You  Were  Dying 
To-Night 

and  I  offered  something  thai  would  give  you  ten 
years  more  to  live,  would  you  take  It?  You'd  grab 
It.  Well,  fellows,  I've  got  It.  butdon't  wait  till  you're 
dying  or  It  won't  do  you  a  bit  of  good.  It  will  thou 
be  too  late.  Right  now  la  the  time.  Tomorrow,  or 
any  day,  some  disease  will  get  you  and  It  sou  have 
not  equipped  yourself  to  right  it  off.  you're  gone.  I 
don't  claim  to  cure  disease.  I  am  not  a  niedleal 
doctor,  but  I'll  put  you  In  such  condition  that  the 
doctor  will  starve  to  death  waiting  fur  you  to  take 
sick.  Can  you  imagine  a  mosquito  trying  to  bite  a 
brick  wall?     A  fine  chance. 

A  Re-Built  Man 

I  like  to  get  the  weak  ones.  I  delight  In  getting 
hold  of  a  man  who  has  been  turned  down  as  hopeless 
by  others.  It's  easy  enough  to  finish  a  task  that's 
more  than  half  done.  But  give  me  the  weak,  sickly 
chap  and  watch  him  grow  stronger.  Thai's  what  I 
like.  It's  fun  to  me  because  I  know  I  can  d"  it  and 
1  like  to  give  the  other  fellow  the  laugh.  I  don't 
simply  give  you  a  veneer  of  musrle  that  looks  good 
to  others.  1  work  on  you  both  Inside  and  out.  I 
not  only  put  big  massive  arms  and  legs  on  you.  but 
I  build  up  those  Inner  muscles  that  surround  your 
vital  organs.  The  kind  that  give  you  real  pep  and 
energy,  the  kind  that  tiro  you  with  ambition  and  the 
courage  to  tackle  anything  set  before  you. 

All  I  Ask  Is  Ninety  Days 

Who  says  it  takes  fear*  to  tret  in  shape?  Show  me  the  man  who 
makes  any  such  claims  and  I'll  make  him  eat  his  words.  I'll  put 
one  full  inch  on  your  arm  in  juat  30  days.  Yea.  and  two  full  inches 
on  your  cli'dt  In  the  same  length  of  time.  Meanwhile.  I'm  puttinf 
life  and  pep  into  your  old  back-bone.  And  from  then  on.  just  watch 
em  crow.  At  the  end  of  thirty  days  you  won't  know  yourself. 
Your  whole  body  will  take  on  an  entirely  different  appearance  But 
you're  only  started.  Now  come  the  real  works.  I've  only  built  my 
foundation.  I  want  juat  60  days  more  (SO  in  all)  and  you'll  make 
those  friends  of  yours,  who  think  they're  strong,  look  like  something 
the  cat  dragged  in. 

A  Real  Man 

When  I'm  through  with  you,  you're  a  real  man.  The  kind  that 
can  prove  it.  You  will  be  able  to  do  things  you  had  tt 
possible.  And  the  beauty  of  it  is  you  keep  on  going.  Your  deep 
full  chest  breathes  in  rich,  pure  air.  stimulating  vour  blood  and 
making  you  juat  bubhte  over  with  vim  and  vitality.  Your  huge 
Squnrc  shoulder-  and  your  massive  muscular  arms  have  that  craving 
for  the  eiercine- of  a  regular  he  man.  You  have  the  flesh  to  yn.ir  rye 
and  the  pep  to  your  step  that  will  make  you  admired  and  sought  after 
both  in  business  and  social  world. 

This  is  no  idle  prattle,  fellows.     If  you  doubt  me,  make  me  prove 
it.     Go  ahead.  I  like  it.     I  have  already  done  this  for  thousands  of 
others   and    my   records   are    unclm'lcnged       What    I   have   don*   for 
them.  I  will  do  for  jroo.   Com*,  then,  for  time  ftie«  and

and  as  for  anyone  as  mediocre  as  Richard  Dix — 
well,  he  can't  even  be  compared. 

Here's  a  brickbat  for  Pola  Negri.  She  is 
thrown  in  our  faces  everywhere  we  turn.  An 
issue  of  Photoplay  seldom  leaves  her  out,  and 
she  is  to  me  the  most  tiresome  actress  on  the 
screen.  However,  when  it  comes  to  Gloria, 
Corinne  Griffith,  Colleen  Moore,  Norma 
Shearer  and  others,  I  haven't  words  enough  to 
praise  them. 

I  do  wish  Lon  Chaney  would  stop  sacrificing 
himself  in  all  his  pictures.  I  saw  "  The  Unholy 
Three"  last  night,  and  why  couldn't  Mae 
Busch  have  fallen  in  love  with  him?  Lon  Chaney 
has  never  given  a  bad  performance,  and  he 
ought  to  get  the  girl  once.

Producers,  Read  This 

New  York  City,  N.  Y. 

Your  "kick"  department  is  an  outlet  for  the 
American  public's  steam  when  some  of  the 
bones  the  producers  pull  make  us  too  hot  under 
the  collar. 

I'm  speaking  of  the  reckless  way  in  which 
good  actors  and  actresses  are  directed  and  cast 
in  pictures  that  are  then  sold  through  advertis- 
ing. For  example,  Thomas  Meighan  in  "The 
Alaskan,"  Barbara  La  Marr  in  "The  Heart  of  a 
Siren,"  and  hundreds  of  others. 

What  has  happened  to  pictures  like  "Pas- 
sion," "Orphans  of  the  Storm,"  "The  Four 
Horsemen,"  "Blood  and  Sand,"  "Peter  Pan," 
and  others?  Is  the  industry  starting  to  special- 
ize in  advertising  and  selling  instead  of  pro- 
ducing? If  mob  scenes  and  costume  plays  are 
too  expensive  there  are  always  interesting 
stories  like  "The  Talker"  and  "Are  Parents 
People?  " 

The  trend  of  thought  in  producing  seems  to 
be  that  lavishness,  thrills,  extreme  costumes, 
exaggeration  and  animation  make  up  for  a 
weak  plot  and  poor  direction.

Good  Suggestions 

Gloversville,  N.  Y. 
I  would  very  much  like  to  see  screened 
"Ivanhoe"  and  "The  Idylls  of  the  King."  In 
the  latter  Lillian  Gish  as  Elaine.  She  might 
also  do  for  the  fair  lady  in  "Ivanhoe,"  although 
this  is  more  of  a  Douglas  Fairbanks  picture. 
My  husband  would  like  to  see  "The  Lad}-  of 
the  Lake."

A  Lloyd  Hughes  Fan 

Chicago,  111. 

Can't  throw  enough  bouquets  to  my  only 
favorite  male  actor,  Lloyd  Hughes.  I've 
watched  him  climb  the  ladder  of  fame  for  two 
years,  and  at  last  he  is  there.  Your  magazine 
never  has  anything  about  him,  although  in 
November  issue  his  picture  appeared,  but  it 
was  very  poor  of  him.  He  certainly  has  all 
these  sheiks  beaten  in  every  way.  to  say  noth- 
ing of  the  old  timers  that  are  old  enough  to  re- 
tire, such  as  Milton  Sills,  Conway  Tearle.  and 
others. 

Lloyd  Hughes  brings  us  youth,  college,  ro- 
mance and  everything  that  is  beautiful  and 
worthwhile  in  life.  His  company  should  give 
him  more  pictures  like  "Welcome  Stranger" 
and  "Declasse."  He  is  the  ideal  American 
type  of  young  man  that  not  only  appeals  to  the 
younger  set,  but  to  the  older  women  and 
also  to  men,  which  is  unusual,  since  hardly 
any  men  give  actors  very  much  praise,  par- 
ticularly the  Valentino  type,  but  I  hey  all  ad- 
mire the  clean  young  American  as  personified 
in  Lloyd  Hughes, 

1  understand  he  has  a  wonderful  reputation 
in  Hollywood,  is  happily  and  peacefully  mar- 
ried. Please  publish  more  pictures  and  news 
of  him, 

God  bless  him  and  may  he  become  the  great- 
est st  a  r. 

M  IRION  Wai  LACE, 


Can't  See  Gloria 


Cincinnati,  Ohio. 

I  enjoy  Photoplay  very  much,  but  wish  to 
see  more  pictures  of  Viola  Dana,  my  favorite. 

I  fail  to  understand  why  everyone  is  so  in- 
fatuated with  Gloria  Swanson,  for  her  pictures 
and  acting  aren't  anything  to  rave  about,  like 
most  peoj»Ie  do. 

Here's  for  better  pictures  like  those  of  Bebe 
Daniels,  Colleen  Moore,  Mary  Pickford,  and 
Marion  Davies.

Our  Ivan  Gets  It 

Philadelphia,  Pa. 
Just  one  loaded  brickbat  aimed  in  deadly 
earnest  at  Ivan  St.  Johns.  When  he  tells  us 
Peggy  Joyce  is  "just  an  old-fashioned  girl,"  as 
gullible  as  we  are,  it  somehow  won't  go  down. 
Why  not  risk  the  censors  and  send  Herb 
Howe  over  for  an  interview,  and  then  tell  us 
all? 

Mary  Forrest. 

A  Prediction 

San  Francisco,  Calif. 

The  cinema  is  improving.  There  are  many 
useless  subtitles  that  will  gradually  be  elimi- 
nated. In  future  there  will  be  more  pictures  of 
the  calibre  of  "The  Last  Laugh"  and  "The 
Old  Swimmin'  Hole." 

The  theme  of  the  future  picture  will  be  writ- 
ten to  be  filmed.  There  will  be  less  adaptations 
from  popular  plays  and  novels.  Writers  will 
realize  that  the  cinema  is  an  excellent  medium 
for  the  expression  of  their  character  studies. 

The  players  of  the  future  will  be  better  pan- 
tomimists  than  those  of  the  present.

A  Nice  One  for  a  Newcomer 

Simpson,  Pa. 
I  have  a  great  big  bouquet  for  one  of  our 
most  promising  young  actors,  Lawrence  Gray. 
His  acting  in  "Are  Parents  People?"  was  su- 
perb. He  wins  the  laurel  wreath,  and  if  he  gets 
the  chance  that  some  of  the  other  actors  have 
had,  I  know  he  will  surpass  them  in  every  way. 
He  is  the  tvpe  that  we  wish  to  see. 

Miss  J.  K.  W. 

She  Can't  See  Jack  Gilbert 

Cheshire,  Conn. 
I  fail  to  see  why  people  rave  over  Jack  Gil- 
bert.    To  me  he  is  only  good  looking,  which 
does  not  mean  much. 

I  don't  agree  with  the  person  who  said  Con- 
stance Talmadge  is   the  world's  best  come- 
dienne.   Dorothv  Gish  has  her  beaten  a  mile. 
Mrs.  J.  W.  D. 

Ricardo  Most  Passionate 

Lynchburg,  Va. 

I  would  like  to  toss  a  brickbat  at  R.  V.  C.  of 
Philadelphia  and  "Babe"  of  Kansas  City.  The 
very  idea  of  saying  Ricardo  Cortez  copies 
Rudolph  Valentino.  Roth  are  good  and  both 
the  same  type.  "The  Spaniard"  called  for  the 
Latin  type,  so.  therefore — Ricardo.  I  think  he 
is  the  mosl  passionate  man  on  the  screen.  His 
eyes  would  melt  an  iceberg. 

I  want  him  to  know  that  here  is  one  fan  who 
gets  thrills  up  and  down  her  spine  from  those 
marvelous  eyes  of  his.

Rives  Jum  lion,  Mi<  li 

I  .im  a  constant  reader  01  Photopj  \\  and 
enjoy  reading  Brickbats  and  Bouquets  when 
they  anjusi  criticisms.    But  a  letter  written 

.  11  J. Watkins,  in  the  November  issue  of  iliis 
magazine,  goes  beyond  the  bounds,  li  is  more 
than  a  brickbat  It  is  .1  positive  insult  to 
Milton  Sills  and  Conway  Tearle,  both  of  «  bom 
have  done  so  much  toward  making  the  movies 
what  they  arc  today.  I  think  the  efforts  they 
haw  made  to  benefit  the  public  should  be  ap 
predated  and  not  made  the  subject  of  ridicule. 

One  would  infer  from  reading  the  Watkins 
letter  that  both  Sills  and  Tearle  were  in  their 
dotage,  whereas  they  are  in  their  prime,  bright, 
intelligent  men  with  their  best  years  before 
them.  I  see  no  reason  why  they  should  be 
relegated  to  the  background  to  give  place  to  the

good,  but  not  to  be  compared  with  finished

We  Thank  Yon 

Houlton,  Maine. 

I  want  to  ask  you  if  you  would  please  give 
us  a  cover  of  Dorothy  Cumming  and  a  story 
about  her.  She  is  wonderful  and  has  the  most 
beautiful  mouth  I  have  ever  seen.  And  she 
can  act. 

I  can't  agree  with  "Lou  and  John"  when 
they  say  that  Mae  Murray  can't  act.  She  can, 
but  I  wish  she  would  wear  her  hair  soft  and 
fluff.v  and  leave  off  those  hideous  puffs  and 
snarled  curls. 

Gloria  Swanson  is  a  fine  actress  and  deserves 
all  praise. 

Here  is  a  brickbat  for  Xita  Xaldi.  Why 
doesn't  she  let  her  eyes  alone  and  not  make  up 
so  heavily? 

Your  covers  are  great.  Wish  we  could  see 
more  Rolf  Armstrong  ones. 

Ressfe  C.  Wetmore. 

Come  Through,  Lon  Chanev 
Fans 

Bethel.  Conn. 

I  have  read  your  Brickbats  and  Bouquets  for 
Xovember,  and  not  a  word  regarding  Lon 
Chaney.  What  is  the  matter?  Are  the  people 
asleep?  Can't  they  appreciate  an  artist  when 
they  see  one? 

Who  can  portray  the  characters  Lon  Chaney 
can?  Xever  has  such  an  artist  ever  been 
known.  His  work  in  "The  Hunchback,"  and 
"He  Who  Gets  Slapped"  is  splendid.  Every 
picture  in  which  he  plays  has  that  same  grip- 
ping appeal. 

If  you  can't  feel  his  acting,  you  are  not 
human. 

Violet. 


"If  I  had  only 

known-" 


Two  women  went  out  to  buy  a  cer- 
tain expensive  labor-saving  device  for 
the  home. 

One  was  greatly  disappointed  when, 
a  few  days  later,  they  compared  notes. 
She  had  bought  the  same  product  that 
many  of  her  friends  had  owned. 

The  other  woman  had  secured  a 
greatly  improved,  new  product  —  cost- 
ing less,  but  of  much  more  value. 

"  If  I  had  only  known  there  was  a 
better  one,"  the  first  woman  said,  "I 
would  never  have  bought  this  old  one." 

"I  had  just  read  about  it  in  an  ad- 
vertisement," explained  the  wise  buyer. 


Every  day  you  miss  good  news  of 
an  improvement  in  different  articles  of 
merchandise  —  unless  you  read  the 
advertisements.  They  tell  you  of 
practically  every  worth-while  inven- 
tion—  of  every  progress  from  the  old 
to  the  new. 

Read  the  advertisements — regu- 
larly. Know  all  about  the  thing  you 
are  going  to  buy  before  you  buy  it. 
It  will  save  you  disappointment,  money 
and  time. 


The  better  a  product  is — the  sooner 
you'll  see  it  in  an  advertisement.

SUPERB  acting,  splendid  direction  and  the  critical 
supervision  of  the  United  States  Navy  Department 
have  combined  to  produce  the  first  authentic  picture  ever 
shown  of  our  Admirals  in  the  making. 

Thrill  follows  thrill  throughout  the  yarn  as  rapidly  as 
wave  follows  wave  at  sea — it  will  leave  you  breathless

supreme  genius  in  the  making  of  motion  picture  master- 
pieces.

"ONE    WOMAN    TELLS    ANOTHER" 


When  the  second  act  has  come 

to  an  end — and  the  curtain  is  rung 

down  amidst  whirling  applause— when 

you  mingle  outside  with  the  excited 

throngs  in  the  lobby 

— have  a  Camel! 


Into  the  making  of  this  one  cigarette  goes  all  of  the  ability  of  the  world's  largest 
organization  of  expert  tobacco  men.  Nothing  is  too  good  for  Camels.  The  choicest 
Turkish  and  domestic  tobaccos.  The  most  skilful  blenders.  The  most  scientific 
package.  No  other  cigarette  made  is  like  Camels.  No  better  cigarette  can  be  made. 
Camels  are  the  overwhelming  choice  of,  experienced  smokers. 


WHEN  the  thrilling  second  act 
of  the  best  show  of  the  year  has 
just  come  to  an  end.  And  the 
stars  have  taken  their  curtain 
calls  in  answer  to  round  after 
round  of  applause.  When  you 
join  the  crowds  outside  just  as 
pleased  and  thrilled  as  yourself 
— have  a  Camel! 

For  no  other  friend  is  so 
cheerful,  so  resting  between  acts 
as  Camel.  Camel  adds  its  own 
romantic  glamour  to  the  bright- 
ness of  memorable  occasions. 
No  other  cigarette  ever  made — 
and  kept — so  many  friends. 
Camels  never  tire  your  taste  no 
matter  how  liberally  or  zest- 
fully you  smoke  them.  Camels 
never  leave  a  cigaretty  after- 
taste. All  the  desire  to  please, 
all  the  skill  to  serve  of  the 
largest  tobacco  organization  in 
the  world,  goes  into  this  one 
cigarette. 

So  when  you  leave  the  theatre 
pleased  and  inspired  for  greater 
things,  when  you  see  life's  prob- 
lems and  their  solutions  clearer 
—  lift  the  flame  and  taste  the 
mellowest  smoke  that  ever  came 
from  a  cigarette. 

Have  a  Camel!

Jliow  our  soft  and  savory  eatables  have 

impaired  the  health  of  our  teeth  and  gums 


—  and  how  by  a 
simple  addition  to 
their  daily  care 
you  may  keep  your 
gums  healthy  and 
your  teeth  brilliant! 


A  FORMAL  dinner,  served  with 
pomp  and  ceremony,  may  seem 
quite  different  from  a  snack  that  you 
take  at  home,  but  there  is  one  way  at 
least  in  which  they  are  very  much 
the  same. 

The  food  at  both  is  soft.  It  is  de- 
ficient in  fibre — utterly  unstimulating 
to  the  tissue  of  your  gums.  And  the 
gums,  which  much  need  the  exercise 
that  rough,  coarse  food  was  meant 
to  give,  are  growing  soft — more  open 
to  the  attacks  of  that  long  list  of 
gum  troubles  that  seem  to  be  so 
fashionably  prevalent  today. 

Hois)  to  counteract  the  damage 
soft  food  is  doing 

Sometimes  the  gums  bleed— the  tooth 
brush  '  'shows  pink"  in  the  mornings. 
This  does  not  necessarily  mean  that 
you  have  pyorrhea,  for  authenticated 
cases  are  few  and  far  between.  But  it 
does  mean  that  your  gums  need  some 
daily  attention,  as  any  good  dentist 
will  readily  attest. 

Most  dentists  will  tell  that  the 
first  thing  to  do  is  to  bring  about  a 
healthy  flow  of  blood  within  the 
gum  walls,  and  this  they  point  out 
can  be  done,  and  should  be  done,  by 
massage. 


And  thousands  of  dentists,  to  whom 
our  professional  men  have  demon- 
strated Ipana  Tooth  Paste,  recom- 
mend that  this  massage  be  done  with 
Ipana  at  the  time  of  the  regular  clean- 
ing with  Ipana  and  the  brush.  If  your 
gums  are  at  first  too  tender,  do  it 
with  your  finger.  Later  quite  gently 
apply  the  brush. 

Why  very  many  dentists  urge 
the  use  of  Ipana 

This  massage  with  Ipana  will  help 
by  improving  the  circulation,  by  aug- 
menting the  stimulation  to  the  gum 
tissue  itself  and  even  more  directly 
because  of  the  ziratol  content  of  Ipana. 
Ziratol  is  an  antiseptic  and  hemo- 
static used  by  dentists  in  their  work 
at  the  chair,  to  allay  bleeding  and  to 
restore  gum  tissue  to  its  normal  ton- 
icity. Ask  your  dentist  about  Ipana 
today!  He  knows  it.  He  and  thou- 
sands of  others  approve  its  good  work. 
It  was,  in  fact,  through  the  help  of 
the  dental  profession  that  Ipana  first 
became  known  and  famous. 

Then  when  he  approves,  resolve  to 
begin  your  use  of  Ipana.  Switch  to  it 
completely.     Use  it  faithfully.    Be- 


fore the  tube 

is  out,  before 

a    month    is 

over,  you'll 

note,  as  many 

thousands  do, 

the   beneficial 

effect  that  Ipana  can  exert  on  your 

gum  tissue.  You'll  find  out,  too,  how 

it  can  clean  and  beautify  your  teeth. 

There  is  a  coupon  on  this  page.  If 
you  care  to  sena  it,  we  will  forward 
you  a  sample  of  Ipana.  Frankly,  we 
do  not  recommend  your  doing  so.  For 
ten  days  is  too  short  a  time  to  prove 
Ipana's  merit— ten  days  can  only 
start  the  good  work. 

Switch  to  Ipana  now! 

But,  after  all,  as  nearly  every  drug- 
gist in  the  land  has  Ipana,  you'll  find 
it  easier  to  go  to  your  nearest  drug 
store  and  get  a  full-sized  tube. 

Even  if  your  gums  bother  you  but 
seldom,  start  your  use  of  this  deli- 
cious dentifrice  today,  for  it  not  only 
cleans  teeth  safely  but,  with  its  help, 
you  can  keep  your  gums  as  they  were 
meant  to  be— firm,  sound  and  in  per- 
fect health.

The  End  of  the  Trail 


Races  pass  and  leave  the  old,  old  story  of  strife  and  song. 
The  Indian  passes  in  this  our  time,  within  the  Reservation 
gates ;  a  figure  as  sinister  as  a  bloody  arrow,  but  filling  the 
eye  and  the  heart  with  his  tragedy.  "Adieu,  Vanishing 
American,  adieu  —  may  you  find  the  Happy  Hunting 
Ground  of  your  camp  fire  dreams." 

This  epic  of  the  Indian  has  already  been  acclaimed  by  hundreds  of 
audiences  as  ranking  with  The  Covered  Wagon  in  scope,  power  and 
human  interest. 

Here  is  a  picture  of  enmity  and  gallantry  and  fierce  love-making  in 
the  very  shadow  of  danger.  The  vision  of  Paramount,  Zane  Grey, 
Director  George  B.  Seitz  and  Supervisor  Lucien  Hubbard  searched 
out  and  composed  all  this  for  you,  the  Paramount  organization  pur- 
suing, as  it  always  does,  the  ideal  material  for  the  greatest  shows  that 
human  beings  can  desire. 

r      *■      r 

Like  stately  ships  magically  appearing  one  after  another  on  the  ho- 
rizon, and  slowly  coming  in  full  view,  came  The  Cohered  Wagon,  The 
Ten  Commandments,  Peter  Pan,  The  Pon\  Express,  A  Kiss  for  Cinderella, 
That  Royle  Qirl,  and  now  The  Vanishing  American,  sailing  the  sea  of 
more  than  one  or  two  seasons'  brief  popularity,  and  even  so  being 
but  leaders  of  a  great  fleet  cruising  literally  to  the  admiration  of  all 
lands  and  peoples. 

Wherever  you  find  the  name  PARAMOUNT  you've  found  The 
End  of  the  Trail  to  the  Greatest  Show  in  Town.

Girls  Who 

Didn't 
Make  Good 

T\  7E  hear  a  lot,  too  much 
W  sometimes,  about  the 
little  girls  who  go  toHollv- 
wood  and  in  a  few  Years 
achieve  stardom  and  elec- 
tric lights.  But  we  rarely 
hear  the  other  side  of  the 
adventure,  those  who  fail. 
What    becomes   of  them?

investigations.  It'sastorv 
no  one  interested  in  motion

who  isn't? — should   miss. 

A  Comedy  of 

Errors 

in  Real  Life 

Clara  Bow  is  probablv 
married  by  the  time  this 
magazine  appears.  But 
you  should  know  what  a 
fuss  there  was  in  four 
quarters  when  a  newspaper 
storv  engaged  her  to  the 
wrong  man  a  month  before. 

Can  Jack  Gilbert 
Get  Away  With  It? 

Jack  wonders  himself.  He 
is  on  the  pinnacle  now,  but 
he  is  determined  that  the 
producers  shall  not  make 
him  a  heavy  lover  in  pic- 
tures. He  wants  to  follow 
out  some  of  his  own  ideas. 
Can  he  do  it?  His  original 
booster,  Ivan  St.  Johns, 
Western  Editor  of  Photo- 
play, tells  you  all  about  it.

Brief  Reviews  of  Current  Pictures 


AFTER  BUSINESS  HOURS— Columbia.— Elaine 
Hammerstein  and  Lou  Tellegcn  enact  one  of  those 
far-fetched  domestic  dramas.     (September.) 

AMERICAN  PLUCK— Chadwick.— She  is  a  prin- 
cess and  he  is  only  a  poor  American  prize  fighter  if 
there  is  such  a  thing — but  love  finds  the.usual  way! 
(September.) 

ANCIENT  HIGHWAY,  THE  —  Paramount.  — 
A  passable  story  of  the  timber  lands  with  Jack  Holt 
preventing  the  villain  from  jamming  the  heroine's 
shipment  of  logs.      (January.) 

ANY  WOMAN— Paramount.— A  trite  story  of  the 
perils  of  a  refined  working  girl.  Alice  Terry  heads  the 
cast.     (August.) 

ARE  PARENTS  PEOPLE  ?— Paramount.— 
Daughter  reunites  her  quarreling  parents.  The 
daughter  is  Betty  Bronson;  the  parents  are  Florence 
Vidor  and  Adolphe  Menjou.  A  thoroughly  charm- 
ing comedy.     (August.) 

AWFUL  TRUTH,  THE— Producers  Distributing. 
— It  is  awful,  at  that,  and  not  what  anyone  would  call 
first-rate  amusement.     (September.) 

BANDIT'S  BABY,  THE— F.  B.  O.— Fred  Thom- 
son and  Silver  King  make  this  more  amusing  than  the 
average  Western.     (August.) 

BAREE,  SON  OF  KAZAN— Vitagraph.— Just  one 
of  those  dog  stories  of  the  frozen  north.  Rather 
mediocre  entertainment.     (August.) 

BEAUTY  AND  THE  BAD  MAN— Producers  Dis- 
tributing.— A  gambler  in  a  mining  town  plays  bene- 
factor to  a  girl  witli  operatic  ambitions.  The  grateful 
prima  donna  .marries  him.  Good,  if  you  can  believe 
it.     (September.) 

BEAUTIFUL  CITY,  THE— First  National.— The 
story  not  up  to  the  Barthelmess  standard.  Contains 
good  atmospheric  shots  of  New  York's  tenement 
district.     (January.) 

BELOW  THE  LINE— Warner  Brothers.— A  splen- 
did story  with  Rin-Tin-Tin  as  thrilling  as  ever. 
Johnny  Harron  and  June  Marlowe  are  pleasing. 
(December. ) 

BEST  PEOPLE,  THE— Paramount.— An  enter- 
taining story  of  a  son  and  daughter  of  the  hoipolloi 
who  insist  upon  marrying  a  chorus  girl  and  chauffeur, 
believing  that  love  is  the  only  thing.      (January.) 

BIG  PARADE,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn  — See  this 
if  you  have  to  pawn  your  shirt.  One  of  the  finest 
pictures  ever  made.  A  thrilling  love  story  against  the 
World  War  background  with  John  Gilbert  and  Renee 
Adoree.     (January.) 

BLACK  CYCLONE— Pathe.— Rex,  the  King  of 
Wild  Horses,  scores  one  of  the  hits  of  the  year.  The 
remarkable  acting  of  the  not-so-dumb  animals  makes 
this  unusual  amusement.      (August.) 

BLOODHOUND,  THE— F.  B.  O.— What  do  you 

think  the  Royal  Mounted  boy  does?  He  gets  his  man. 
The  man  is  his  brother.  And — that's  the  plot. 
{September.) 

BOBBED  HAIR— Warner  Brothers.— Silly  but 
lots  of  fun.     Kenneth  Harlan  and  Marie  l'revost.  ably 

assisted  by  Louise  Fazenda,  put  plenty  of  pep  in  a 
slapstick  melodrama.    (November.) 

BUSTIN'  THROUGH— Universal.— Jack  Hoxie 
riding  and  fighting  to  save  his  ranch  from  a  grasping 
land  company.  A  good  Western  with  plenty  of 
action.     (December.) 

CALGARY  STAMPEDE.ITHE— Universal— The 

best  Western  in  many  a  day.  with  Hoot  Gibson.  Dif- 
ferent.    Some  remarkable  riding  stunts.     (December.) 

CALL  OF  COURAGE,  THE— Universal.  —  Art 
Acord  as  a  lazy  cowboy,  just  for  a  change.     The 

picture  is  helped  In-  the  dumb  efforts  of  a  doe.  and  a 

horse,    (November.) 

CALIFORNIA  STRAIGHT  AHEAD— Universal. 
— Very  ordinary  burlesque  comedy  rescued  by  the 
engaging  ways  of  Reginald  Denny.     {November.) 

JO 


CAMILLE  OF  THE  BARBARY  COAST— As- 
sociated Exhibitors. — Owen  Moon  and  Mae  Busch  in 
a  new  version  of  the  old  theme.    Not  for  the  children. 

(September.) 

CIRCLE,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn.— A  weak  tea 
society  drama  that  is  neither  interesting  nor  real. 
Complete  failure  as  a  translation  of  Somerset  Maug- 
ham's clever  play.      (December.) 

CIRCUS  CYCLONE,  THE— Universal.— A  pleas- 
ant mixture  of  Western  and  circus  stuff,  with  Art 
Acord  proving  he  can  ride.     (October.) 

CLASH  OF  THE  WOLVES.  THE— Warner 
Brothers. — Rin-Tin  Tin  makes  another  big  hit.  this 
time  in  a  beard.  A  good  story,  with  a  few  tears,  and 
pretty  June  Marlowe.      (January.) 

CLASSIFIED— First  National.— Don't  miss  this 
one.  Corinne  Griffith,  "the  screen's  most  beautiful." 
proves  she  can  act.  in  this  unusually  entertaining 
comedy-drama  of  a  New  York  working  girl.  (January.) 

COAST  OF  FOLLY,  THE— Paramount.— Gloria 
Swanson  in  a  modern  role.  In  fact,  Gloria  in  two 
modern  roles — that  of  mother  and  daughter.  Her 
work  in  this  picture  will  be  much  discussed;  so  don't 
miss  it.     (November.) 

COMING  OF  AMOS,  THE— Producers  Dis- 
tributing.— Rod  La  Rocque,  as  a  big  diamond  man 
from  South  Africa,  and  Jetta  Goudal,  as  a  Russian 
princess  in  a  Cecil  B.  De  Mille  romance  of  the 
Riviera.     (November.) 


AS  a  special  service  to  its  readers, 
Photoplay  Magazine  inaugu- 
rated this  department  of  tab- 
loid reviews,  presenting  in  brief  form 
critical  comments  upon  all  photoplays 
of  the  preceding  six  months. 

Photoplay  readers  find  this  depart- 
ment of  tremendous  help — for  it  is  an 
authoritative  and  accurate  summary, 
told  in  a  few  words,  of  all  current  film 
dramas. 

Photoplay  has  always  been  first 
and  foremost  in  its  film  reviews. 
However,  the  fact  that  most  photo- 
plays do  not  reach  the  great  majority 
of  the  country's  screen  theaters  until 
months  later,  has  been  a  manifest 
drawback.  This  department  over- 
comes this — and  shows  you  accurately 
and  concisely  how  to  save  your  mo- 
tion picture  time  and  money. 

You  can  determine  at  a  glance 
whether  or  not  your  promised  eve- 
ning's entertainment  is  worth  while. 
The  month  at  the  end  of  each  tabloid 
indicates  the  issue  of  Photoplay  in 
which  the  original  review  appeared. 


COMPROMISE— Warner  Brothers.— A  good  east. 
Irene  Rich,   Pauline  Garon  and  ('live  Brook,  in  an 

inadequate  story.     Fairly  entertaining.     (January.) 

CYCLONIC  CAVALIER.  THE  — Reed  Howes. 
the  star,  is  handsoim — but  that's  about  all.  A  melo- 
drama of  one  of  those  South  American  revolutions. 
(November.) 

CYRANO  DE  BERGERAC— Atlas— A  com- 
mendable film  version  ^i  Rostand's  great  play,  made 
by  B  French  company,  and  excellently  acted  by 
Pierre  Magnier.    (September.) 


DARK  ANGEL,  THE— First  National.— A  love 
story  of  the  War,  beautifully  and  touchingly  pro- 
duced by  George  Fitzmaurice  and  wonderfully  acted 
by  Yilma  Banky  and  Ronald  Colman.  You'll  want 
to  see  it.    (November.) 

DAUGHTER  OF  THE  SIOUX,  A— Davis  Dis- 
tributing.— Neva  Gerber  and  Ben  Wilson  in  an 
Indian  story  that  may  amuse  the  children.    (.Ycr.) 

DESERT  FLOWER.  THE— First  National.— 
Colleen  Moore's  unfailing  vivacity  saves  it  from 
being  just  another  one  of  those  Cinderella  tales. 
(August.) 

DON  Q. — United  Artists. — Douglas  Fairbanks 
stages  another  great  show.  It.has  beauty,  adventure 
and  thrills.  It's  one  of  the*  treats  of  the  year. 
(August.) 

DRUSILLA  WITH  A  MILLION— F.  B.  O.— It  = 
hokum  but  it's  good  hokum  and  splendidly  acted  t>\ 
Mary  Carr.  Be  sure  to  take  a  handkerchief  with 
you.     (August.) 

DURAND  OF  THE  BAD  LANDS— Fox— Plenty 
of  action  with  Buck  Jones,  but  weak  on  story.  Ma- 
rion Nixon  is  a  pleasing  heroine.     (December. ) 

EAGLE,  THE— United  Artists.— Rudolph  Val- 
entino in  three  fascinating  roles,  a  Russian  lieutenant 
a  bandit  and  a  French  tutor.  Pretty  good  Valentino 
fare.     YilmaJBanky  is  lovely.      (January.  | 

EVERLASTING  WHISPER,  THE— Fox.— Tom 

Mix  fans  will  like  this.    Others  won't.    Old  stuff  with 
draggy  action.     (December.) 

EVERYMAN'S  WIFE— Fox.— Marking  the  wel- 
come return  of  Dorothy  Phillips.  Otherwise,  just  a 
trite  domestic  drama.     (August.) 

EVE'S  SECRET— Paramount.— Wherein  the  Duke 
educates  a  peasant  girl  and  marries  her.  Another 
version  of  Pygmalion  and  Galatea  played  by  Jack

EXCHANGE  OF  WIVES.  AN— Metro-Goldwyn. 
— Two  couples  flirting  madly  with  the  dear  old  mar- 
riage tie.  Good  entertainment.  Lew  Cody,  Creigh- 
ton  Hale,  Eleanor  Boardman  and  Renee  Adoree  shine. 
{December.) 

FAINT  PERFUME— B.  P.  Schulbcrg.— Faint  is 
right.  A  jumbled  movie-ized  version  of  Zona  Gale's 
excellent  novel.     (September.) 

FIFTY-FIFTY  —  Associated  Exhibitors.— What 
happens  when  an  American  roue  marries  a  French 
dancer.  Lionel  Barrymore  and  Hope  Hampton  are  in 
it.     (September.)

very  gullible  will  like  this  one.  Richard  Talmadge 
dashing   through   impossible   melodrama.     (August.) 

FIGHTING  HEART,  THE  —  Fox.  —  George

FLYIV  THROUGH— Davis  Dist.  Co.— Al  Wil- 
son, the  stunt  aviator,  provides  a  flock  of  thrills  and 
entertainment.     You'll  like  it.     (December.) 

FRESHMAN.  THE  —  Associated  Exhibitor.— 
Harold  Lloyd's  comedy  of  college  life  is  so  funny  that 
it  defies  description.  It's  the  liveliest  and  the  most 
youthful  comedy  now  on  the  screen.     (September.) 

GIRL  WHO  WOULDN'T  WORK.  THE— R.  P. 
Schulbcrg. — The  hardships  of  a  working  girl  are  the

charming  story  of  California  in  the  days  of  the  gold

LETTERS  FROM  READERS 


$25.00  Letter 

Montreal,  Canada. 

My  biggest  bouquet  goes  to  George  Fitz- 
maurice  for  his  direction  of  the  most  beautiful 
picture  I  have  ever  seen,  "The  Dark  Angel." 
One  to  Ronald  Colman  for  his  portrayal  of  an 
English  gentleman,  and  one  to  Yilma  Banky  for 
her  flawless  acting. 

I  know  of  no  leading  man  who  could  have 
played  that  role  with  such  delicacy  and  refine- 
ment as  did  Ronald  Colman. 

Vilma  Banky  will  rise  to  great  heights  if  they 
do  not  spoil  her.  She  has  beauty  and  refine- 
ment, combined  with  perfect  technique.  It  is 
extremely  unpleasant  to  contemplate  what 
they  might  make  her  into:  an  over-marcelled, 
over-made-up  unnatural  puppet. 

Being  an  exceedingly  hard-boiled  fan,  it  is  a 
relief  to  view  a  picture  which  has  the  power  to 
make  one  forget  it  is  a  film;  which  has  beauty, 
pathos  and  romance  without  the  slightest  hint 
of  sex. 

Those  who  claim  the  public  demands  sex 
plays  are  wrong,  as  the  box  office  returns  from 
"The  Dark  Angel"  have  probably  proven  by 
this  time. 

Please  publish  a  picture  of  Ronald  Colman 
in  your  gallery.

I  love  art,  maybe  because  I  am  Italian. 
Every  week  I  go  to  the  opera  and  it  is  only 
reccntly  that  I  have  taken  a  liking  to  the  mov- 
ing picture.  It  is  very  seldom  that  art  is 
really  seen  on  the  screen.  The  actors  which  I 
call  iirtistic  are  Ramon  Novarro,  Richard 
Barthelmess,  Lewis  Stone,  Valentino  (in  "The 
Four  Horsemen"  only),  and  Neil  Hamilton. 

Stars  like  Mary  Pickford,  Douglas  Fair- 
banks and  Marion  Davies  generally  have  the 
stories  built  around  them.  Is  that  art? 
Ramon  Novarro  is  an  artist,  a  man — he  lives! 
Unfortunately  such  men  are  out  of  fashion  in 
1  In-  p resen I  da\  .  I  do  not  mean  .1  Don  Juan, 
but  an  Ivanhoe,  a  Radames — men  that  are 
noble,  true,  and  most  of  all,  human. 

I  hope  Mr.  Novarro  will  accept  my  con- 
gratulations for  having  introduced  Art  into 
the  moving  picture.

May  I  take  this  opportunity  to  express  my 
opinion  of  the  play  and  the  players  of  "The 
Merry  Widow?"

The  readers  of  Photoplay  are  in- 
vited to  write  this  department — to 
register  complaints  or  compliments — 
to  tell  just  what  they  think  of  pictures 
and  players.  We  suggest  that  you 
express  your  ideas  as  briefly  as  pos- 
sible and  refrain  from  severe  per- 
sonal criticism,  remembering  that  the 
object  of  these  columns  is  to  exchange 
thoughts  that  may  bring  about  better 
pictures  and  better  acting.  Be  con- 
structive. We  may  not  agree  with  the 
sentiments  expressed,  but  we'll  pub- 
lish them  just  the  same!  Letters 
should  not  exceed  150  words  and 
should  bear  the  writer's  full  name 
and  address. 


and  Roy  D'Arcy.  To  them  go  the  honors  of 
the  acting,  and  to  the  director.  Eric  von  Stro- 
heim,  goes  much  credit  for  his  handling  of  this 
production.  After  his  usual  realistic  pictures, 
this  was  a  welcome  change,  and  extremely  well 
clone.  Its  inconsistency,  I  blame  on  Mae  Mur- 
ray. 

It  is  inconceivable  to  me  how  the  fans  ever 
tolerate  so  frothy  an  actress  as  Miss  Murray. 
One  could  hardly  call  her  "actress,"  rather 
model,  as  posing  seems  to  be  her  specialty. 
Miss  Murray  seems  to  think  that  her  figure  is 
one  of  the  seven  wonders  of  the  world.  There 
are  many  other  beautiful  figures  in  filmdom 
that  are  not  so  blatantly  displayed  as  hers. 
One  gets  a  trifle  tired  of  close-ups  of  limbs  and 
lips.  I  know  Miss  Murray  has  a  following — 
but  to  what  type  of  people  does  she  appeal? 
Certainly  not  to  lovers  of  good  acting. 

An  inconsistency  in  "The  Merry  Widow"  is 
this:  the  town  was  too  small  to  supjx>rt  a 
proper  hotel,  yet  it  had  a  gorgeous  big  theater, 
Secondly,  Miss  Murray  depicts  a  sweet  little 
innocent  ballet  dancer,  yet  wears  as  few  clothes 
as  possible  and  acts  startled  when  the  hero 
tries  to  kiss  her!  Then  Gilbert  is  shown 
looking  through  his  glasses  at  her  face — very 
touching,  that.  Yet  he  plots  to  get  her  to 
his  rooms,  spills  soup  to  gel  her  to  lake  oft"  her 
dress  and  then  makes  violent  love  to  her. 

I'm  not  a  prude  simply  because  1  object  to 
Miss  Murray's  undress  parade,  but  one  doesn't 
like  having  nudity  thrown  in  one's  face.  A 
little  subtlety  goes  much  further  and  is  a 
great  deal  more  appreciated.

Gloria  Making  Too  Many 

Dover.  Delaware. 

Miss  Swanson  has  been  making  far  too 
many  pictures.  It  is  always  better  to  make 
one  good  picture  now  and  then  than  a  series  of 
mediocre  ones.  I  am  sure  everybody  would 
rather  see  Gloria  just  once  or  twice  a  year,  and 
with  a  leading  man  that  has  some  box  office 
attraction.  They  seem  to  expect  Miss  Swan- 
son  to  do  it  all.     It  isn't  fair,  nor  is  it  possible. 

We  want  Gloria  Swanson  in  pictures  like 
"Zaza,"  "The  Humming  Bird"  and  "A 
Society  Scandal." 

Delaware. 

Well,  Mr.  Lasky? 

Hartford.  Conn. 

I  want  to  throw  a  brickbat  at  Famous 
Players-Lasky  Corporation.  Why  can't  they 
give  us  a  definite  statement  as  to  the  re-issuing 
of  Wally  Reid's  pictures?  If  they  are  trying 
to  give  the  fans  what  they  want,  why  don't  we 
get  these  pictures?  This  company  is  sacrific- 
ing the  respect  of  the  fans  by  not  announcing 
what  they  intend  to  do.  one  way  or  the  other, 
in  this  matter. 

We  want  to  see  Wally  on  the  screen  again. 
If  Photoplay  is  going  to  continue  serving  its 
readers  as  it  does,  it  should  try  to  get  what  we 
demand.  Lasky's  won't  listen  to  one  or  two 
people.  Let's  see  your  grit,  readers,  and  make 
this  a  fight  to  the  finish — either  getting  Wally 
Reid  pictures  back  again,  or  knowing  why  we 
can't.

What  Are  YOUR 

Mistakes  in  English? 

They  may  offend  others  as 
much  as  these  offend  you 

IF  some  one  you  met  for  the  first  time  made 
the  mistakes  in  English  shown  above,  what 
would  you  think  of  him  ?  Would  he  inspire 
your  respect?  Would  you  be  inclined  to  make 
a  friend  of  him?  Would  you  care  to  introduce 
him  to  others  as  a  close  friend  of  yours ! 

These  errors  are  easy  for  you  to  see.  Perhaps, 
however,  you  make  other  mistakes  which  offend 
other  persons  as  much  as  these  would  offend 
you.  How  do  you  know  that  you  do  not  mis- 
pronounce certain  words?  Are  you  always  sure 
that  the  things  you  say  and  write  are  gram- 
matically correct?  To  you  they  may  seem 
correct,  but  others  may  know  they  are  wrong. 

Unfortunately,  people  will  not  correct  you 
when  you  make  mistakes;  all  they  do  is  to 
make  a  mental  reservation  about  you.  "  He 
is  ignorant  and  uncultured,"  they  think.  So 
you  really  have  no  way  of  telling  when  your 
English  offends  others. 

Book  on   English 
and  15 -Minute  Test 

Sherwin  Cody,  perhaps  the  foremost  teaeher  of 
English  in  this  country,  has  prepared  a  simple  15- 
minute  English  test  which  you  can  take  in  your  own 
home.  This  test,  with  the  answers  which  will  also  be 
sent,  tells  you  at  once  just  where  you  stand.  You  can 
discover  at  a  glance  whether  you  make  even  slight 
errors.  Give  yourself  this  test.  If  you  are  efficient 
in  English,  it  will  give  you  greater  confidence;  if  you 
are  deficient,  you  surely  want  to  know  it,  so  that  you 
can  correct  your  mistakes. 

Mr.  Cody's  remarkable  new  invention,  the  10C% 
Self -Correcting  Method,  has  already  improved  the 
English  of  more  than  4 1,000  people.  No  useless  rules, 
no  tedious  copying,  no  hard  study.  Only  15  minutes 
a  day  required.  You  learn  by  creating  the  HABIT 
of  using  correct  English.  Nothing  like  Mr.  Cody's 
method  has  ever  been  used  before! 

Vmi  do  not  want  others  to  judge  you  unfairly.

City State. 


GOLD  HUNTERS,  THE— Davis  Dist.— A  fairly 
interesting  Curwood  melodrama  about  a  trapper  who 
linds  the  map  of  a  lost  mine.     (January.) 

GOLD  RUSH.  THE— United  Artists.— It  marks 
the  long-awaited  return  of  Charles  Chaplin  to  the 
screen.    A  great — but  not  the  greatest — comedy  of  a 

fine  artist.     (September.) 

GOOSE  WOMAN,  THE— Universal— A  fine 
psychological  study  of  a  striking  but  repellent  char- 
acter set  in  the  atmosphere  of  a  murder  mystery. 
Superbly  acted  by  Louise  Dresser.  Jack  Pickford  and 
Constance  Bennett.     (September.) 

GO  WEST— Metro-Goldwyn.— Hardly  a  comedy 
because  hardly  a  laugh.  Yet  the  picture  is  interesting 
in  spite  of  that,  and  "  Brown  Eyes,"  the  cow,  gives  a 
line  performance.      (January.) 

GRAUSTARK  —  First  National.  —  Norma  Tal- 
madge  and  Eugene  O'Brien  in  a  new  version  of  the  old 
stoiy.     Good  for  those    who    are    fond    of   sweets. 

(November.), 

GROUNDS     FOR     DIVORCE— Paramount— A 

French  farce  that  just  misses  being  delightfully 
frothy.  Matt  Moore  and  Florence  Yidor  are  in  it. 
(September.) 

HALF  WAY  GIRL,  THE— First  National.— 
Doris  Kenyon  in  a  story  of  the  sordid  side  of  the 
Orient.  A  ship  explosion  adds  a  much-needed  thrill  to 
a  commonplace  movie.     (October.) 

HAPPY  WARRIOR,  THE  —  Yitagraph.  —  The 

story  is  oversentimental,  although  it  lias  its  exciting 
moments.  Malcolm  MacGregor  is  good  as  the  hero. 
(September.) 

HAUNTED  RANGE,  THE— Davis  Distributing; 

— Ken  Maynard,  a  newcomer,  joins  the  "heavy  ridin 
brigade."  Just  another  of  those  "Westerns." 
(November.) 

HAVOC — Fox. — Showing  the  disastrous  effects  of 
the  war  on  London  society.  A  dismal  drama  is  re- 
lieved by  George  O'Brien.     (November.) 

HEADLINES— Associated  Exhibitors.— A  fairly 
interesting  newspaper  story  with  Alice  Joyce,  Virginia 
Lee  Corbin,  Elliott  Nugent  and  Malcolm  MacGregor. 
(September.) 

HEARTS  AND  SPURS— Fox.— Buck  Jones  in  a 
riot  of  hard-riding.  It  has  plenty  of  action,  so  why 
worry  about  the  story?     {August.) 

HELL'S  HIGHROAD— Producers  Distributing  — 
Cecil  B.  De  Mille  again  gives  the  low-down  on  the 
lives  of  the  rich.    Leatrice  Joy  is  starred.    (November.) 

HER  SISTER  FROM  PARIS— First  National.— 
Constance  Talmadge,  Ronald  Colman  and  George 
Arthur  make  this  one  of  the  funniest  comedies  of  the 
year.    But  not  for  the  children;  oh  dear,  no!    (Nov.) 

HIDDEN  LOOT — Universal. — A  straightforward 
story  with  Jack  Hoxie  as  a  deputy  after  a  gang  of 
crooks.    Fine  for  the  children.      (January.) 

HIS  BUDDY'S  WIFE— Associated  Exhibitors  — 
An  Enoch  Arden  story  of  the  World  War,  capably 
acted  by  Edna  Murphy  and  Glenn  Hunter. 
(September.) 

HIS  MAJESTY  BUNKER  BEAN  —  Warner 
Brothers. — A  good  plot  is  ruined  to  make  a  slapstick 
holiday.  Matt  Moore  does  his  worst  with  the  title 
role.     (November.) 

HOME  MAKER,  THE— Universal.— A  domestic 
drama  with  an  unusually  intelligent  and  thoughtful 
plot  and  fine  acting  bv  Alice  Joyce  and  Clive  Brook. 
[October.) 

HOW  BAXTER  BUTTED  IN— Warner  Brothers. 
— Matt  Moore  as  a  sappy  clerk  who  would  be  a  hero. 
He  sets  his  wish.  An  amusing  comedy  melodrama. 
(August.) 

HUMAN  TORNADO,  THE— F.  B.  O.—  Wherein 
the  wild-ridin'  Westerner  again  establishes  his  in- 
nocence of  a  lot  of  neatly  assorted  crimes.    {September.) 

IF  MARRIAGE  FAILS?— F.  B.  O. — Another  one 

of  those  society  dramas.  Clive  Brook,  as  the  rich 
man,  falls  in  love  with  a  fortune-teller,  played  by 
Jacqueline  Logan.  Not  so  good  for  the  children. 
{August.) 

I'LL  SHOW  YOU  THE  TOWN— Universal.— 
Anot  her  hit  for  Reginald  Denny.  A  genuinely  amus- 
ing farce.     (August.) 

ISLE  OF  HOPE,  THE— F.  B.  O.— In  which 
Richard  Talmadge  docs  his  daily  do/en.    {November.) 

JUST  A  WOMAN— First  National.— Just  a  pic- 
ture. Redeemed  by  some  good  acting  by  Claire 
Windsor,  Percy  Marmont  and  Conway  Tcarle. 
(August.) 

KEEPER  OF  THE  BEES.  THE— F.  B.  O.— Not 
worthy  of  Gene  Stratum  Porter.  Little  Gene  Strat- 
um, the  girl-boy.  is  very  interesting.    (December.) 


KEEP  SMILING  — Associated  Exhibitors.  —  In 
which  Monty  Banks  again  tries  to  prove  that  he's  a 
comedian.     (September.) 

KENTUCKY  PRIDE— Fox.— The  biography  of  a 
race  horse,  interwoven  with  a  human  story.  A  pleas- 
ant novelty.     (October.) 

KING  ON  MAIN  STREET,  THE— Paramount — 
A  dandy  picture,  with  the  suave  Adolphe  Menjou  as  a 
European  king  on  a  holiday  in  New  York.  And 
Bessie  Love  doing  the  Charleston.     (January.) 

KIVALINA  OF  THE  ICE  LANDS— Earl  Ross- 
man. — Like  "Nanook  of  the  North."  another  fine 
picture  that  was  made  within  the  Arctic  Circle. 
(September.) 

KNOCKOUT.  THE— First  National.— If  you  like 
Milton  Sills,  maybe  you'll  be  able  to  believe  that  he 
looks  like  a  light  heavyweight  champion.  If  not — 
well,  here's  your  warning.     (November.) 

LADY  WHO  LIED,  THE— First  National.— A 
colorful  production  with  a  rather  weak  plot,  ablv 
acted  by  Lewis  Stone.  Nita  Naldi  and  Virginia  Valli. 
Not  for  the  children.     (September.) 

LAST  EDITION,  THE— F.  B.  O—  An  exciting 
story  of  the  inside  workings  of  a  great  metropolitan 
daily,  with  Ralph  Lewis  as  foreman  of  the  press 
room.     Good.     (December.) 

LAW  OR  LOYALTY— Davis  Dist.  Co.— Again 
our  friends,  the  Mounted  Police,  struggling  between 
love  and  duty.     Fairly  interesting.     {December.) 

LAZYBONES — Fox. — A  real  characterization  of 
a  small  town  fella  given  by  Buck  Jones  in  a  well  told 
story.     Fine  supporting  cast.      (January.) 

LETS  GO  GALLAGHER— F.  B.  O—  Introduc- 
ing a  new  Western  star.  Tom  Tyler.  The  boys  will 
like  him.  Good  fights,  stunts  and  rescues.  (Decem- 
ber.) 

LIGHT  OF  THE  WESTERN  STARS— Para- 
mount.— One  of  Zane  Grey's  standard  Western 
stories  with  Noah  Beery  doing  his  stuff  as  a  swell 
villain.     (September.) 

LIGHTNIN' — Fox. — Much  of  the  rare  humor  of 
the  stage  play  is  strangely  missing  from  the  screen 
version.  It's  rather  mechanical  and  routine  enter- 
tainment.    (October.) 

LIGHTS  OF  OLD  BROADWAY— Metro-Gold- 
wyn.—Interesting  for  its  historical  sidelights  on  early 
New  York.  Marion  Davies  does  a  dual  role.  Pretty 
good  entertainment.      (January.) 

LITTLE  ANNIE  ROONEY— United  Artists.— In 
which  Mary  Pickford  returns  again  as  Queen  of  the 
Kingdom   of   Childhood.      A   thoroughly   delightful 

picture.     (October.) 

LITTLE  FRENCH  GIRL,  THE— Paramount  — 
A  study  in  French  and  English  morals,  not  particu- 
larly suited  to  the  screen.  But  it  has  its  interest. 
Alice  Joyce  and  Mary  Brian  take  the  acting  honors. 
(August.) 

LITTLE  GIANT.  THE— Universal.— A  nice  little 
story  of  young  married  lite  with  Glenn  Hunter  and 
Edna  Murphy.     (September.) 

LIMITED  MAIL.  THE— Warner  Brothers- 
Monte  Blue  in  a  railroad  melodrama  that  sometimes 
misses  lire.     {September.) 

LIVE  WIRE,  THE— First  National.— Johnny 
Hincs  in  the  title  role.  Lots  of  "gags"  and  rough- 
neck comedy.     (November.) 

LORD  JIM — Paramount — A  fair  translation  of 
the  well  known  book  with  Percy  Marmont  giving  a 
good  performance  of  Jim.  If  you  don't  know  the 
book,  the  picture  is  a  pretty  good  sea  melodrama. 
(January.) 

LORRAINE  OF  THE  LIONS— Universal— The 

story  of  a  little  girl  east  away  on  a  desert  island.  Patsy 
Ruth  Miller,  as  the  girl,  is  rescued  by  Norman  Kerry 
assisted  by  the  long  arm  of  coincidence.      (October.) 

LOST— A  WIFE— Paramount.— Adolphe  Menjou 

and  Greta  Nisscn  in  one  o\  those  divilish  French 
farces.     Fairly  amusing.     (September.) 

LOVE  HOUR.  THE— Vitasraph.— The  heroine 
goes  to  Coney  Island  and  wins  a  millionaire.  It's  one 
of  the  silliest  pictures  of  the  year.     (November.) 

LOVERS  IN  QUARANTINE— Paramount.— The 
younger  set  will  think  this  hot  Stuff.  Their  elders  may 
lie  amused.  Bebe  Daniels  and  Harrison  Ford,  good. 
{Dei  ember.) 

LUCKY  DEVIL.  THE— Paramount.— Richard 
Dix  dashes  through  an  extremely  dashing  and  enter- 
taining automobile  story.     (September.) 

LUCKY  HORSESHOE.  THE— Fox.— Wherein 
Tom  Mix  falls  asleep  and  dreams  that  he's  Don  Juan. 
Just  another  Mix  success  with  Tony  and,  as  an  added 
attraction,  Ann  Pennington.     (October.)

light  opera  with  Mac  Murray',  John  Gilbert  and  Roy 
D'  Vrcj  contributing  three  ol  the  fines)  performances

MinsiiiPM  \N.  THE  —  Metro  -  Goldwyn  —  A

Novarro,  and  that's  enough  for  most  fans.  (Pectmbtr.) 

MY  LADY'S  LIPS— B.  P.  Schulberg.— A  crook 
melodrama  that  is  lively  and  often  amusing.  But  we 
dare  you  to  try  to  believe  in  the  plot.     (October.) 

MYSTIC,  THE  —  Metro-Goldwyn.  —  Aileen

picture.     (October.) 

NEYER  WEAKEN— Associated  Exhibitors.— A 
welcome  revival  of  a  Harold  Lloyd  comedy.     (Sept.) 

NEW  BROOMS — Paramount. — It  won't  sweep 
you  off  your  feet,  but  it  might  do  to  put  in  an  even- 
ing.    Everybody  overacts  but  Bessie  Love.  (January.) 

NEW  COMMANDMENT,  THE— First  National. 
— It's  "Thou  shalt  not  doubt.''  Wealthy  boy. 
artist's  model,  misunderstanding,  war.  and  the  thril- 
lingest  love  scene  in  months.     (January.) 

NIGHT  LIFE  OF  NEW  YORK— Paramount.— 
A  round  of  sight-seeing  in  New  York's  hotels  and 
night  clubs.  You  are  accompanied  by  Rod  La 
Rocquc.  Dorothy  Gish  and  Ernest  Torrence.  It's  lots 
of  fun.     (September.) 

NOT  SO  LONG  AGO — Paramount.— Aside  from 
the  work  of  Betty  Bronson  and  Ricardo  Cortez,  this 
is  a  rather  dull  story  of  Manhattan  in  its  Age  of  In- 
nocence.    (October.) 

OLD  CLOTHES— Metro-Goldwyn.— The  last 
time  you  will  have  to  look  at  Jackie  Coogan  without 
a  haircut.  Maybe  that's  worth  a  quarter.  Some 
laughs  in  this  and  a  new  girl,  Joan  Crawford.  (Jan- 
uary.) 

OLD  HOME  WEEK— Paramount— A  Grade  A 
Meighan  picture — his  best  in  a  long  time.  George 
Ade  wrote  the  story  and  Lila  Lee  is  in  it.      (August.) 

ONE  YEAR  TO  LIVE— First  National.— Aileen 
Pringle  hears  the  sentence  of  the  doctor  and  then  cuts 
loose  in  Paris.    It  all  turns  out  all  right.     (September.)

rich  flapper.  It's  fair  enough  if  you  are  not  tired  of 
goings-on  of  the  younger  set.     (August.) 

OTHER  WOMAN'S  STORY,  THE— Shulberg  — 
A  tiresome  story  that  might  have  been  a  good 
mystery  melodrama.     (January.) 

PACE  THAT  THRILLS,  THE— First  National.— 
Very  bad.  with  Ben  Lyon.  Beautiful  Mary  Astor  is 
wasted  in  this  silly  story-     (December.) 

PAINT  AND  POWDER— Chadwick.— The  good 
little  chorus  girl  becomes  a  star  and  marries  the  pro- 
ducer. Fair  entertainment  if  you  aren't  too  fussy. 
(December.) 

PARISIAN  LOVE  —  B.  P.  Schulberg.  —  Just 
another  one  of  those  things.  In  case  anyone  cares,  it's 
the  romance  of  an  Apache  girl.  Not  for  the  children. 
(October.) 

PASSIONATE  YOUTH— Truart—  Now.  really, 
after  all.  what  did  you  expect  from  the  title?  (Sep-

PROl'D    HEART    (title    changed    from     HIS 
PEOPLE) — Universal,     Oni  ol  thi   finest  plcl 
Jewish  emigrant  life  we've  Been.   'Schildkraut,  pere, 
contributes  a  great  performan  reen,    Don't 

miss  it.     (December.) 

RANGER  OF  THE  BIG  PINES— Vltagraph.— 

The  usual  Western  with  the  usual  fight,  and 

performance  by   Eulalie  Jensen  to  recommend   it. 
(October.) 

RED  HOT  TIRES— Warner  Brothers.— Just  a 
mix-up  of  good,  bad  and  indifferent  comedy,  played 

by  Monte  Blue  and  Patsy  Ruth  Miller.     (November.) 

REGULAR  FELLOW,  A— Paramount.— (Re- 
viewed under  the  original  title,  "He'sa  Prince").  A 
gay  burlesque  of  royalty  with  Raymond  Griffith  as  a 
prince  with  democratic  ideas.     (November.) 

RIDIN'  THE  WIND— F.  B.  O.— Fred  Thomson 
disappoints.  A  trite  story.  He  rescues  his  brother 
from  bandits,  returns  the  stolen  money  and  wins  the 
girl.     {December.) 

ROAD  TO  YESTERDAY,  THE— Producer-  Dist, 
— Catch  this  picture  for  the  gorgeous  train  wreck, 
The  story  is  a  little  muddled  but  fairly  entertaining 
due  to  the  reincarnation  theme.      (January.) 

ROSE  OF  THE  WORLD— Warners.— Sincere  per- 
formances by  a  good  cast,  but  an  unconvincing  story. 
Not  very  worthwhile.      (January.) 

RUGGED  WATERS— Paramount.— Outside  of  a 
few  good  storms  and  some  rousing  sea  stuff,  it's  just 
an  old-fashioned  melodrama.     (October.) 

SALLY  OF  THE  SAWDUST— United  Artists. 
D.  W.  Griffith  proves  that  he  can  make  great  comedy. 
It's  his  gayest  and  most  light-hearted  picture. 
Wonderful  acting  by  W.  C.  Fields  and  Carol  Demp- 
ster.    Everyone  should  see  it.     (August.) 

SATAN  IN  SABLES— Warner  Brothers.— Lowell 
Sherman  is  a  bad  Russian  grand  duke.  Pauline  Garon 
is  a  little  rose  from  Montmartre.  Pretty  good. 
(December.) 

SCANDAL  PROOF— Fox.— The  story  of  one  of 
those  good  but  misunderstood  girls.  Sympathetic- 
ally acted  by  Shirley  Mason.      (August.) 

SCANDAL  STREET— Arrow.— An  interesting 
picture  because  of  movie  studio  atmosphere.  Story 
of  a  movie  actress  and  her  husband  who  are  both 
starred  at  the  same  studio.     (January.)  — ' 

SEVEN  CHANCES— Metro-Goldwyn.— Another 
amusing  one  from  Buster  Keaton.     (June.) 

SEVEN  DAYS  —  Producers  Distributing.  —  The 
famous  farce  is  given  splendid  production  and  it  is 
well  acted.  Eddie  Gribbon  is  very  amusing.  (A'o- 
vember.) 

SEVEN  KEYS  TO  BALDPATE— Paramount- 
Leave  the  dishes  in  the  sink.  If  you  miss  the  first  of 
this,  you're  lost.  A  corking  comedy-melodrama  with 
Douglas  MacLean  and  Edith  Roberts.      (January). 

SHORE  LEAVE— First  National.— A  genuinely- 
funny  comedy,  a  charming  love  story  and  Richard 
Bartiielmess  at  his  best  as  a  tough  gob.    (September.) 

SIEGE — Universal.  Mary  Alden  and  Virginia 
Valli  in  a  powerful  drama  of  two  generations.  Highly 
recommended.      (August.) 

SIEGFRIED— Ufa.— Perhaps  the  most  ambitious 
undertaking  of  the  screen.  A  spectacularly  beautiful 
and  slightly  dull  version  of  the  Niebelungen  legend. 
Made  in  Germany.      (August.)

rief  Reviews   of  Current   Pictures 

[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  1 5  ] 


SILENT  SANDERSON— Producers  Distributing. 
— A  really  first-class  Western  with  our  old  friend 
Harry  Carey  giving  zest  to  the  plot.     (August.) 

SKYROCKET,  THE— The  best  picture  about 
motion  picture  people  so  far,  and  Peggy  Hopkins 
Joyce's  debut  on  the  screen.  Adapted  from  Adela 
Rogers  St.  Johns'  novel  of  the  same  name.   (January.) 

SLAVE  OF  FASHION,  A— Metro-Goldwyn.— 
Wherein  a  guileless  Cinderella  getsAer  man.  A  silly 
but  beautifully  mounted  story  with  the  lovely  Norma 
Shearer   and   the   charming   Lew.      (October.) 

SMOOTH  AS  SATIN— F.  B.  O—  Evelyn  Brent 
looking  her  prettiest  in  an  ingenious  crook  story. 

(September.) 

SON  OF  HIS  FATHER,  A— Paramount.— One  of 
the  dullest  pictures  on  record,  from  a  Harold  Bell 
Wright  story.     (December.) 

SOULS  FOR  SABLES— Tiffany.—  A  great  dis- 
play of  feminine  finery  and  a  story  of  fair  value.  Good 
for  grown-ups.  Claire  Windsor  and  Eugene  O'Brien 
head  the  cast.     (November.) 

SPORTING  CHANCE,  THE— Tiffany.— A  good 
racing  melodrama  with  plenty  of  speed  and  pep. 
(September.) 

SPORTING  LIFE— Universal.— A  new  version  of 
an  old  melodrama  of  life  in  the  fighting,  racing  and 
spending  circles  of  London.     (November.) 

STEELE  OF  THE  ROYAL  MOUNTED— Vita- 
graph. — This  time  it's  Bert  Lytell  who  does  his  stuff 
in  the  great  Northwest.     (September.) 

STELLA  DALLAS— United  Artists. — An  almost 
perfect  picture,  with  one  of  the  greatest  performances 
ever  given  to  the  screen — that  of  Belle  Bennett  in  the 
title  role.     (December.) 

STORM  BREAKER,  THE— Universal.— A  good 
story,  some  consistent  character  studies  and  excellent 
sea  atmosphere  make  this  a  fine  picture  for  adult 
entertainment.  House  Peters,  Ruth  Clifford,  Nina 
Romano  and  Ray  Hallor  in  the  cast.     (November.) 

STREET  OF  FORGOTTEN  MEN,  THE— Para- 
mount.— A  weird  and  unusual  story  of  a  professional 
beggar,  well  told  by  Herbert  Brenon  and  splendidly 
acted  by  Percy  Marmont.     (October.) 

SUN-UP — Metro-Goldwyn. — A  strong  story  of  the 
Southern  mountains,  excellently  acted  by  Conrad 
Nagel,  Lucille  La  Verne  and  Pauline  Starke,  and 
beautifully  photographed.     (October.) 

TEASER,  THE — Universal. — A  comedy  snappily 
acted  by  Laura  La  Planteand  Pat  O'Malley.  (August.) 

TEXAS  TRAILER,  THE— Producers  Distribut- 
ing.— Harry  Carey  in  that  rare  treat— a  really  enter- 
taining and  amusing  Western  picture.     (September.) 

THANK  YOU— Fox.— The  performance  of  Alec 
Francis  as  a  small  town  minister  is  the  only  redeeming 
feature  of  this  film.    (December.) 

THAT  MAN,  JACK— F.  B.  O—  Bob  Custer  again 
— just  as  loyal  and  brave  as  ever  and  full  of  fight. 
(September.) 

THREE  PALS— Davis  Dist  —  An  uninteresting 
story,  badly  played  and  badly  directed.  Two  clever 
horses  do  not  even  make  it  passable.      (January.) 

THREE  WISE  CROOKS— F.  B.  O.— Pretty  bad. 
Evelyn  Brent  tries  to  rescue  the  picture  from  medioc- 
rity by  some  good  acting,  but  to  no  avail.  (December.) 

THUNDER  MOUNTAIN— Fox.— The  old  feud 
story,  refreshingly  told,  with  fine  humor  and  an  ex- 
cellent cast.    (December.) 

TIMBER  WOLF,  THE— Fox.— Buck  Jones  doing 
his  best  in  a  tegular,  old-time  thriller.    (November.) 

TOWER  OF  LIES.  THE— Metro-Goldwyn.— A 
worthwhile  picture  spoiled  by  a  too-conscious  effort 
to  achieve  art.  Consequently,  a  human  story  suffers 
from  artificiality.    Well  played  by  Lon  Chancy  and 

Norma  Shearer.     (November.) 

TRACKED  IN  THE  SNOW  COUNTRY  — 

Warner  Brothers. — Starring  Rin-tin-ti>i.     A  conven- 
tional tale  of  the  fro/en  North.     (October.) 

TRIPLE  ACTION— Universal.— Rightly  named; 
enough  action  for  three  Westerns.  Rides.  Bights, 
parachute  iumps  by  a  sheriff  trying  to  saw-  some 
disease. I  cattle.     (January.) 

TROUBLE  WITH  WIVES,  THE  Paramount.— 
A  shrewdly  amusing  domestic  comedy  with  Florence 

Vidor.  Tom  Moore.  Ford  Sterling  and  Esther  Ralston. 

(October.) 


UNDER  THE  ROUGE— Associated  Exhibitors.— 
While  it  isn't  for  the  children,  it  is  an  ingratiating  and 
exciting  crook  story.     (September.) 

VANISHING  AMERICAN,  THE— Paramount  — 
In  spite  of  its  weak  points,  this  epic  of  the  American 
Indian  is  very  worth  while  seeing.  Richard  Dix  gives 
a  fine  performance.  Take  an  extra  handkerchief. 
(December.) 

VERDICT,  THE—  Tru-Art.— A  far-fetched  mvs- 
tery  story'  with  William  Collier,  Jr.,  doing  some  effec- 
tive acting.      (August.) 

WALL   STREET   WHIZ.   THE— F.    B.   O—  All 

right  for  the  young  boys,  who  aren't  particular  about 
sense  and  logic.  An  absurd  story  with  Richard  Tal- 
madge  doing  some  unnecessary  gymnastics.  (Jan- 
uary.) 

WANDERER.  THE— Paramount.— It's  a  spec- 
tacularly beautiful  production  of  the  story'  of  the 
Prodigal  Son.  with  William  Collier,  Jr.,  Greta  Nissen. 
Wallace  Beery  and  Kathlyn  Williams  in  the  cast. 
(October.) 

WELCOME  HOME— Paramount.— A  brilliantly 
realistic  story  of  an  unwanted  old  man.  finely  pre- 
sented by  James  Cruze  and  beautifully  acted  by- 
Luke  Cosgrave.      (August.) 

WHAT  FOOLS  MEN— First  National.— A  nice 
little  picture,  with  Lewis  Stone.  Introducing  a  new 
hero,  Hugh  Allen,  who  is  very'  pleasing.     {December.) 

WHAT  HAPPENED  TO  JONES— Universal.— A 
peach  of  a  comedy  with  Reginald  Denny.  Marion 
Nixon  and  ZaSu  Pitts.  Plenty  of  suspense.  (De- 
cember.) 

WHEEL,  THE— Fox.— Harrison  Ford.  Claire 
Adams  and  Mahlon  Hamilton  in  a  good  screen  version 
of  a  popular  play.     (November.) 

WHITE  DESERT.  THE— Metro-Goldwyn.— A 
stirring  story  of  a  Colorado  mining  camp,  with  some 
fine  spectacular  scenes.     (September.) 

WHITE  MONKEY,  THE— First  National.— A 
riotous  burlesque  of  Galsworthy's  novel  with  Barbara 
La  Marr  contributing  to  the  massacre.    (August.) 

WHITE  OUTLAW,  THE  —  Universal.  —  Jack 
Hoxie.  in  a  Western,  is  ably  assisted  by  a  horse  and  a 
dog.     Better  than  average  of  its  type.     (September.) 

WHITE  THUNDER— F.  B.  O.— A  total  loss  and 
no  insurance.      (August.) 

WHY  WOMEN  LOVE— First  National.— A  good 
sea  story-  with  a  number  of  thrilling  episodes.  You 
won't  be  bored.     (December.) 

WIFE     WHO     WASN'T     WANTED.     THE  — 

Warner  Brothers. — Irene  Rich  is  the  victim  of  a  plot 
that  contains  all  the  old  movie  hokum  1  cer  presented. 

(November.) 

WILD  BULL'S  LAIR,  THE— F.  B.  O—  Fred 
Thomson  and  Silver  King  in  the  sort  of  Western 
melodrama  that  delights  the  children.    (October.) 

WILD  HORSE  MESA— Paramount.— A  dashing 
melodrama,  with  fine  scenery  and  an  active  plot. 
Well  acted  bv  Billie  Dove,  Jack  Holt  and  Noah  Beerv. 
(October.) 

WILD,  WILD  SUSAN— Paramount. — A  sprightly 
and  amusing  comedy  with  Bebe  Daniels  and  Rod  La 
Rocque.     (Octot'cr.  > 

WINDING  STAIR.  THE— Fox.— A  passable  ro- 
mantic melodrama  that  falls  short  through  a  colorless 
performance  given  by  Alma  Rubens.  But  Edmund 
Lowe  is  good  and  handsome  in  his  French  officer's 
uniform.      {December.) 

WINDS  OF  CHANCE— First  National— Plenty 
of  thrills,  plenty  of  story  action  and  a  large  cast  oi 
popular  players  make  this  Alaskan  melodrama  worth 
your  attention.     (October.) 

WITH  THIS  RING.— Just  one  of  those  sexy 
affairs.  If  you're  broad-minded  and  over  twenty-five 
— all  right.    (November.) 

WOMAN'S  FAITH.  A— Universal.— A  dull  and 
tiresome  story  that  cannot  be  redeemed  by  the  acting 
of  Percy  Marmont  and  Alma  Rubens.     (October.) 

WOMAN  HATER,  THE— Warner  Brothers.— 
Clive  Brook  and  Helene  Chadwick  are  the  leading 
players  in  a  story  of  fairly  stormy  love.     (September.) 

WRECKAGE — Banner. — A  fairly  entertaining 
melodrama    made   worthwhile    by   performances   by 

Mao  Allison  and  Holmes  Herbert.     {.November.)

Tlie  Redskin's  Woman 

A  pale-face  "moonbeam"  girl,  or  a  lovely  dark- 
skinned  maiden  of  his  own  race — which  was  the 
wife  for  him?  Had  the  white  man's  college  and 
the  white  man's  ways  changed  his  Indian  heart? 

"BRAVEHEART"  with  ROD  LAROCQUE,  is  a 
rare  type  of  pic- 
ture, a  strong 
story  teeming 
with  elemental 
emotion—  ambi- 
tion, rivalry,  pas- 
|  sion  and  heroism 
of  the  noblest 
sort.  Don't  miss 
it! 


"CORNERED 


Behind  the  lines 
were  even  stranger  risks  than  in  the  trenches- 
constant  danger  from  the  deep  deviltry  of  spies. 

And  the  cleverest  spy  of  them  all  was— a 
woman!  But  even  she  took  one  risk  too  many, 
and  found  herself  face  to  face  with  her  worst 
enemy,  trapped  like  a  rat!  What  next?  See 
the  thrilling  answer  in  "Three  Faces  East." 


'Both    Wanted 
the  Same  Man 


One  was  a  clev- 
er confidence 
lady— slim,  silk- 
en, fascinating; 
the  o t  her  a 
primitive  woman  fired  with  the  strong  passions 
of  her  race.  Who  would  win  the  man  they 
both  loved?

ding Song."

—back  through  the  ages.  The  fashionable 
young  crowd  with  their  modern  love  problems 
found  themselves  in  a  curiously  different  set- 
ting, where  jealousy,  intrigue  and  romance 
followed  them  with  remarkable  results. 

An  extraordinarily  colorful  picture,  rich  in 
modern  and  medieval  background.  Splendidly 
dramatic  throughout,"The  Road  to  Yesterday."

The  Girl  from  His  Past 

It  was  his  wedding  night.  Suddenly,  out  of  the 
darkness  into  the  bright  lights  of  the  marriage 
party,  stumbled  this  bruised  flower  from  the 
streets.    It  was  a  terrible  moment  in  his  life. 

This  is  but  one  of  the  big  scenes  from  "Silence" 
the  powerful  drama,  with  H.  B.  Warner.

YOU  CAN  WITH  THIS  FAMOUS 
"TWIN    CREAM"    TREATMENT 

IN  the  wintertime,  when  the  air  is  so 
invigorating  and  social  life  so  gaj 
when  evergreens  seem  greenest  and 
the  joy  of  life  is  keenest — when  every  hour 
brings  its  sharp  contrasts  of  heat  and  cold 
— that  is  when  you  must  give  your  com- 
plexion the  greatest  care. 

Get  out-o'-doors  all  you  can.  Revel  in  the 
sports  of  winter.  Skate,  coast,  motor  all 
you  please.  Butremembet — old  JackFrost 
is  a  gay  deceiver. 

He  will  put  roses  in  your  cheeks,  to  be 
sure.  He  will  make  your  blood  tingle  and 
give  you  vigorous  health.  But  unless 
you're  on  your  guard,  he  will  also  chafe 
and  coarsen  your  skin.  And,  too,  he  will 
place  you  in  snowy-white  backgrounds 
that  show  up  sallow  cheeks  and  cruelly 
enhance  lines  and  defects  of  every  kind. 

Yes,  you  want  to  watch  that  man,  Jack  Frost.     You  want  to   take  extra  good  care  of  your  complexion   now,  for 
winter  is  the  time  of  social  conquests  and  social  joys;  the  time  when  beauty  means  the  most. 

A  new  way  to  protect  and  enhance  your  beauty 


Here  is  a  way  to  outwit  the  wintry  winds  and  keep 
your  beauty  in  bloom  the  whole  year  'round  —  a  new 
way  that  will  enhance  and  retain  your  natural  loveli- 
ness; make  even  a  coarse,  unlovely  skin  gossamer-fine; 
that  will  counteract  the  effect  of  wind  and  exposure  and 
keep  your  skin  soft,  smooth,  and  fine-textured.  This  is 
the  famous  Twin  Cream  Treatment — one  cream  to  build 
beauty  from  within ;  another  to  repel  enemies  that 
attack  from  without. 

Remember  that  no  single  cream  can  give  your  skin  all 
that  it  needs.    It  is  not  possible,  because  — 

Your  skin  needs  nourishment,  must  have  it,  if  it  is  to  be 

Try  this  Famous  Twin  Cream  Method  at  Our  Risk 

Enjoy  the  beauties  of  the  great  outdoors.  Revel  in  the  sports 
of  winter  as  much  as  you  please,  but  always  keep  your  com-

toilet  goods  counter  today  and  ask  for  the  Princess  Pat  Twin

Cream  treatment,  it  grows  more  and  more  lovely  every  day.

healthy.  And  naturally  all  nourishing  creams  must  open 
the  pores  in  order  to  feed  the  underlying  tissues. 

Also,  your  skin  needs  protection  ;  must  have  it,  if  it  is  to 
be  delicate,  soft,  fine-textured.  And  for  protection  the 
pores  must  not  be  left  open,  but  must  be  normally  closed. 

Your  own  good  judgment  will  tell  you  that  no  single 
cream  can  do  both.  But  Princess  Pat  Twin  Creams, 
acting  together,  can  do  what  no  single  cream  can — nour-

ing jour  skin's  soft,  satin-like  texture.  You  know  what 
this  means,  for  All  true  beauty  must  begin  with  the 
texture  of  vour  skin."

Speaking  of  Pictures 


By  James  R.  Quirk 


IT  is  more  difficult  to  get  seats  for  "The  Bit;  Parade" 
than  tor  the  most  popular  drama  or  musical  comedy 
t>n  Broadway.  Von  must  reserve  them  weeks  in 
advance  or  pay  absurd  prices  to  a  ticket  speculator.  If 
ever  a  picture  deserved  great  success,  that  one  does, 
and  if  you  miss  it  you  may  always  regret  the  loss  of  a 
wonderful  evening's  entertainment. 

HPHIS  picture  demonstrates  vividly  a  new  devclop- 
ment  in  production.  There  is  nothing  remarkable 
about  the  story.  In  fact,  when  it  is  analyzed  closely,  you 
find  it  very  thin.  But  the  treatment  is  so  cleverly 
handled,  and  it  is  so  full  of  amusing  episodes,  that  thrills, 
tears  and  laughs  follow  one  another  in  a  veri table 
cascade.  It  fairly  overflows  with  brilliant  performances 
and  King  Yidor's  direction  is  a  glorious  orchid  in  his 
already  beautiful  bouquet  of  fine  pictures. 

When  you  see  it,  observe  how  these  laugh-provoking 
episodes  are  so  deftly  planted  here  and  there  in  the  big 
dramatic  scenes.  They  may  or  may  not  have  been 
wr:  ten  into  the  continuity.  They  may  have  been  im- 
provised as  the  picture  progressed.  But  they  are  there. 
And  they  are  responsible  for  the  great  popular  appeal  of 
"The  Big  Parade."  In  the  parlance  of  the  studio  they 
are  called  "gags,"  and  the  trick  of  doing  it  is  called 
"gagging  the  picture." 

T  7ERILY,  Natacha  Rambova  seems  to  be  the  Patsy 
of  the  motion  picture  business  of  late. 

The  papers  leaped  at  the  story  which  the  gallant 
Rudy  pulled  as  the  cause  of  the  separation  which,  by  the 
time  this  appears,  will  have  developed  into  a  Parisian 
divorce  decree. 

Natacha,  he  says,  was  not  a  home  body.  She  didn't 
want  children.  She  would  not  cook  the  spaghetti.  She 
was  fond  of  dogs.  She  wanted  to  work.  His  reflected 
glory  did  not  satisfy  her.     She  wanted  her  own  career. 

Bunk!     Bunk  served  with  piffle  sauce. 

r^  REAT  publicity  for  Rudy.  But  old  stuff.  Do  you 
^-'remember  the  way  Gloria  Swanson  set  the  dear  old 
souls  of  Paris  wild  over  her  when  she  said  she  wanted 
five  or  six  children?  I  believe  she  meant  it,  because  I 
have  seen  her  with  her  two  children.  She  adores  them. 
Her  own  baby,  little  Gloria,  was  not  enough,  and  so  she 
adopted  a  boy  and  named  him  Joseph  Swanson,  after 
her  father. 


But  I  have  never  heard  of  Mr.  Valentino  hanging 
around  an  orphan  asylum,  and  I  cannot  quite  visualize 

the   picture  of   the  sheik  walking   the   floor  of  a   cold 
California  night  crooning  the  junior  to  sleep. 

It  was  not,  in  my  opinion,  playing  the  game  to  midst 
an  effort  for  sympathy  and  publicity  at  the  expense  of 
the  woman,  even  if  it  were  true — which  I  doubt.     And 
we  must  hand  Mrs.  Valentino  credit  for  her  attitude  in 
the  whole  matter. 

She  would  not  live  with  him  and  his  friends,  told  him 
so,  got  out,  leaving  her  belongings  to  him,  and  went 
on  her  way,  avoiding  any  opportunity  to  publicise  her- 
self at  his  expense. 

Divorce  is  no  joking  matter,  but  I  cannot  hold  back  a 
little  snicker  at  Rudy  crying  on  the  shoulders  of  the 
public  and  yearning  for  kiddies. 

•""THERE  is  nothing  vindictive  or  downright  mean 
■*■  about  Valentino.  He's  a  pleasant  chap  and  a  fine 
actor,  whose  delusion  is  that  he  is  also  a  business  man. 
Natacha  has  been  criticized  for  managing  hisaffairs.  But 
we  have  got  to  admit  that  in  this  case  her  management 
was  much  more  commendable  than  his. 

A  NTJ  to  add  to  her  troubles,  the  F.  B.  O.  Company, 
for  whom  Miss  Rambova  made  a  picture  because 
she  needed  the  money,  changed  its  name  to  "When 
Love  Grows  Cold"  after  it  was  finished,  with  the  frank 
purpose  of  capitalizing  her  marital  troubles.  Miss 
Rambova  protested  that  it  would  harm  her  and  create 
the  impression  that  she  was  the  one  who  was  profiting 
by  deceiving  the  public  into  believing  it  was  a  screen 
revelation  of  their  love  wreck. 

A/TARTIX  J.  QUIGLEY,  editor  of  the  Exhibitors 
Herald,  one  of  the  leading  trade  journals  of  the 
motion  picture  business,  has  just  completed  a  remark- 
able symposium  of  the  greatest  box  office  attractions  of 
the  year  1925,  that  is,  the  pictures  which  proved  most 
profitable  to  the  theater  owners,  large  and  small, 
throughout  the  entire  country. 

The  results  are  a  complete  vindication  of  the  motion 
picture  devotees  of  America,  as  well  as  encouragement 
to  those  producers  who  have  had  vision  and  courage 
enough  to  wager  vast  sums  of  money  in  productions  of 
the  highest  artistic  and  moral  tone.

It  used  to  be  such  a  meek  and 
dignified    little    word    that    the 
tongue    would    slip    easily    over 
without  even  causing  a  tremor  when 
it  was  uttered. 

And  in  your  school  days  when  you

you  ran  not  to  be  //.

It  dripped  from  the  pen  of  a  writer

Elinor  Glyn,  who  transformed  an  in- 
significant   pronoun    into    a    world- 
discussed  word 


By 
Dorothy  Spensley 


no  doctor  can  place  a  thermometer  in 
your  mouth  and  his  fingers  upon  your 
pulse  and.  after  a  grave  moment,  say 
"  You  have  98.9  degrees  of  7/.*'  It  i's 
not  located  that  way — you  radiate  //. 

It  is  a  sort  of  invisible  aura  that 
surrounds  your  being  and  bathes  you 
in  its  effulgence. 

Is  7/  personality?  Magnetism? 
Hypnotism?  Sex  appeal? — oh,  hack- 
neyed term!     Fascination?    Charm? 

117;,;/  is  It? 

You  will  find  It  in  actors,  directors. 
and  wi  iters — It  will  blossom  among 
coal  miners,  truck  drivers  and  book 
sellers.  It  is  not  restricted  to  ilass  or 
creed.  It  is  not  dependent  on  beauty 
of  face  or  form — wealth  or  degree  of 
station. 

But  what  is  It? 

The  woman  who  should  know  the 
most  in  the  world  about  It  is  Elinor 
Glyn.  It  was  she  who  transformed 
this  unobtrusive  pronoun  into  a 
world-discussed  noun.  Madame 
Glyn,  as  you  will  recall,  is  the  lady 
who  introduced  the  tiger  skin  into 
fiction.  And  the  tiger  skin  was  ap- 
parent in  this  interview.    In  fact,  we 


John  Gilbert  exactly  epitomizes  what  is  meant  by 
IT,  in  Elinor's  opinion.     He  has  superlative  IT 


IT  is  a  virile  quality,  not  possessed  by  cold  people 
Madame  says  Douglas  Fairbanks  has  IT 


sat  on  one  and  Madame   Glyn  sat — not   reclined,  mind  you! 
—on  the  other. 

"Tell  me,  Madame,  of  //,"  we  queried,  "for  the  benefit  of 

the  world  at  large — and  Hollywood  in  particular.     What  is  /I/  " 

Madame's  eyes  narrowed  to  an  amazingly  small  glint,  and 
without  the  sibilant  hiss  that  shoidd  novelishly  accompany  such 
a  penetrating  glance,  said: 

"//  is  the  peculiar  fascination  possessed  by  men — much 
oftener  than  women — which  makes  them  immensely  attractive 
to  all  women  and  even  to  men. 

"//  is  largely  to  do  with  animal  magnetism. 

"The  person  who  possesses  //  is  always  utterly  unself-con- 
scious  and  perfectly  indifferent  and  unaware  of  anyone's 
Interest  in  him.  The  moment  self-consciousness  enters  into  the 
affair,  //  departs. 

"//  is  a  purely  virile  quality.  It 
is  never  possessed  by  cold  people  or 
mushy  sweet  fellows. 

"  If  a  man  has  It  while  he  is  a  boy, 
his  mother  forgives  him  for  all  his 
faults  —  his  employers  are  always 
lenient  and  women  always  make  ex- 
cuses for  him.  He  has  but  to  throw 
the  handkerchief  and  he  can  attract 
any  of  them. 

"  People  with  It  are  always  strong 
characters. 

"The  only  male  actors  on  the 
screen  that  I  could  describe  as  having 
//  are  John  Gilbert  —  he  has  super- 
lative It — he  exactly  epitomizes  what 
I  mean  by  It  —  and  Douglas  Fair- 
banks. I  know  of  no  others  that  I 
could  speak  wholeheartedly  as  pos- 
seting that  quality,  although  there 
are  several  actors,  not  so  well  known, 
w  ho  at  present  I  could  say  possess  //. 
Some  cases  can  be  developed. 

"I  see  enormous  possibilities  for 
Edmund  Lowe,  when  he  has  a  suit- 
able part,  but  I  have  not  yet  seen 
him  in  a  suitable  role. 

"Among  the  women  I  have  seen 
onlv  two — Gloria  Swanson  and  Yilma 
Banky. 

"  There  are  hundreds  of  interesting 


Cecil  De  Mille  says  IT  cannot  be  ex- 
plained briefly  any  more  than  radio 
can 


and  talented  people — hundreds  of  i  harming,  fascinating  girls — 
hundreds  of  handsome,  delightful  actors — but  It  is  one  of  the 
rarest  gilts  in  the  world. 

"It  has  become  an  absolute  joke  the  way  in  which,  for  adver- 
tising purposes,  this  //  has  been  tacked  on  to  all  sorts  of  actors 
and  actresses,  many  of  whom  I  have  never  seen!" 

Madame  Glyn  paused — we  descended  from  planing  in  rose- 
tinted  clouds. 

So  that  is  It! 

"Just  a  moment  before  you  go!"  It  was  Madame.  "  I  have 
forgotten  one  of  the  greatest  possessors  of  // — Rex,  King  of 
Wild  Horses!" 

What  a  pity  Pan  is  not  visible!    We  are  sure  Madame  Glyn 

would  have  glimpsed  //  in  that  pagan  god. 

*  *     * 

JACK  GILBERT  was  in  his  dressing 
room — velveteen  breeches  and  tur- 
bulent black  locks.  Two  minutes 
and  he  would  be  called  to  the  "La 
Boheme"  set. 

"As  the  films'  greatest  exponent  of 
77,  Mr.  Gilbert,  we  are  here  to  beg 
your  definition  of  the  term." 

"Oh,  Great  Pete!"  gasped  Jack, 
squinting  one  it-ish  eye  at  himself  in 
the  mirror  and  applying  a  pat  of 
powder  to  his  left  cheekbone.  It  was 
a  tense  moment. 

"Why,  I  think  //  is  personality. 

"It  isn't  necessarily  beauty,  for 
Will  Rogers — certainly  not  in  the 
handsome  class — has  more  of  that 
sparkle  called  //  than  any  twelve 
leading  men  boiled  down  together. 

"It  is  like  a  lamp  that  glows  and 
glows  and  glows.  It  can't  be  dimmed 
by  years.    It  is  ageless. 

"  Yes,  I  would  say  that  //  is  per- 
sonalis— and  sex  appeal,  too." 

"//  '   .   ." 

"You're  wanted  on  the  set.  Mr. 
Gilbert,"  interrupted  a  voung  hope-

Erte  Speaks 


And  breaks  a  few  cherished 
illusions 


They  seemed  made  for  each  other, 
the  movies  and  Erte.  One  of  Paris' 
most  original  style  dictators,  creat- 
ing frocks  of  startling  beauty  and 
luxury,  Erte'  listened  to  the  siren 
song  of  Hollywood,  all  agog  to 
clothe  gobs  of  beautiful  stars.  Thus 
he  came  to  the  City  of  the  Angels 
and  there — but  read  it  yourself 


Hollywood  rocked  with 
laughter  and  rage  when  Erte' 
uttered  his  remarks  about 
the  chic  of  its  film  beauties 


Renee  Adoree  refused  to  don 

corsets  when   she   wore  this 

Erte  model.     The  result  was 

startlingly  like  a  balloon 


IN  the  first  place,  he  says  our 
shoulders  are  like  what  you 
hang  clothes  on!  Quite  square 
and  unshapely. 
Our  long  linilis  he  admires,  for 
it  is  easy  to  swirl  a  hank  of  silk 
around  long-legged  ladies  and 
make  them  look  like  sinuous 
sirens. 

But  the  beauty  that  is  Holly- 
wood's— the  legendary  fairness  of 
its  damsels — he  fails  to  find.  Our 
film  beauties,  says  he,  are  no  more 
beautiful  than  any  other  women 
and  offer  no  more  inspiration.  It 
has  also  been  whispered  that  he 
said  they  were  dumb  —but  it  has 

not  been  verified!

lie  is  the  Erie  of  Paris.     The  man  who  does  the  impossible 
with  yards  of  slithering  silks  and  stiff  costly  satins.      Chiffons,

too.  he  drapes  on  flat-bosomed 
mannequins — and  hefty  dow- 
agers buy  them. 

He  makes  bizarre  follies  that 
are  copied  by  the  Eollies  Ber- 
gere. 

He  made  the  centipede  lash 
famous — the  thicket-like  lash 
that  surrounds  the  glittering 
orbs  of  fashion  magazine  ladies. 

Then  he  came  to  Hollywood 
to  put  Art  in  motion  pictures. 
But  it  seems  that  Art  wouldn't 
stay  in  its  proper  niche  and 
kept  popping  out  for  air  and 
going  on  excursions.  Which 
disgusted  him. 

Too,  what  could  an  artist  do 
with  a  lady — prettily  plump — 
who  refused  to  keep  her  cor- 
sets on  while  wearing  a  dress 
all  ruffles  and  frills? 

And  when  young  ladies  with 
prominent  shoulder  blades — 
"angel  wings"  the  kids  called 
them — would  insist  upon  wear- 
ing decollete  frocks? 

And  whoever  heard  of  a 
young  miss — poor  but  of  im- 
peccable character  —  wearing 
finest  silk  from  cuticle  out? 

And  the  tragedy  of  design- 
ing four  separate  series  of  sets 
and  costumes  for  a  motion  pic- 
ture, and  then  to  have  the  fifth 
draft  of  the  story  place  all  the 
action  in  the  prop  room! 

It  is  to  weep. 

Small  wonder,  then,  from 
the  sounds  of  strife  emanating 
from  his  studio,  that  we  pic- 
tured Erte  as  a  peppery  and 
volcanic  French  m  a  n  with 
1  goatee  and  grasshopper  motions,  who  probably  waved 
ine    and    shears   in    expos! ulatory    manner.     A   cartoon 


Frenchman  with  comic  opera  trimmings. 

Instead,  he  is  a  mild-mannered  man  with  smooth  cropped 
black  hair  and  a  gently  tilted  nose  faintly  reminiscent  of  a  sur-

prised  rabbit.  He  wears  a  pearl  bracelet  about  one  wrist. 
His  constant  companion  is  a  Prince  who  has  the  enviable 
ability  of  bowing  gracefully  from  the  waist. 

Renee  Adoree  was  the  first  film  miss  who  was  trotted 
out  for  comment.  Renceisa  native  of  la  belle  Prance  and 
Erti  has  nothing  but  admiration  for  her  art  hut  that 
adorable  little  Afeiisande  of  "The  Big  Parade"  received 
a  gentle  rap  about  her  rounded  curves. 

For  her  part  as  Musette  in  "La  Boheme, "  Ert4  de- 
signed a  gorgeous  frock  of  huge  puffed  sleeves,  voluminous 
skirts  ami  wasp-like  bodice.  (Incidentally,  you  fashion 
devotees,  ErW  is  an  arch  enemy  of  that  confining  mode. 
It  destroys  the  grace  of  line,  he  says,  and  will  never  be  re 
instated  in  the  style  world.) 

"  1'he  first  day  she  looked  exquisite — like  a  (loll.  Hut  on 
the  second  dayl  She  insisted  that  she  could  not  wear  cor- 
sets and  eat — and  eat  she  must,  so  off  came  her  corsets. 
She  looked  like  a  balloon!"  Two  sensitive  hands  made  an 
airy  outline  of  her  appearance. 

Hut  to  say  a  lady  looks  like  a  balloon!  It  simply  isn't 
done  in  Hollywood,  you  know.      Not  even  at  '"cat  parties." 

And  then  there  was  Lillian  Gish. 

"I  designed  a  pretty  costume  for  her  as  Mimi  in  'La 
Boheme.'     Mimi   is  a    poor  girl   whose  poverty  is  shown 
in  her  clothes.     Of  inexpensive  ma- 
terials   I    fashioned    the    dress — of 
wools  and  cottons. 

"  '  But  no!'  says  Miss  Gish,  'I  do 
not  wear  harsh  fabrics  next  to  my 
skin.  They  must  be  of  sheerest 
silk.' 

"Silks!  Can  you  imagine  silks  for 
a  girl  who  lives  simply  and  whose 
marriage  dowry  is  a  mere  tritle! 

"So  I  told  Miss  Gish  she  may 
have  the  designs — is  very  welcome 
to  them — but  she  is  never  to  enter 
my  studio  door  again.  Let  her 
make  the  costumes  herself!" 

CONSTANCE  BENNETT,  the 
idol  of  a  million  flappers  as  she 
cavorts  upon  the  screen,  is  not  per- 
fect, either,  in  Erte's  eyes.  Slender 
Connie  needs  a  milk  diet  to  hide  the 
angles  that  are  so  hard  to  mask 
when  designing  gowns  for  her. 

Her  slim,  girlish  shoulders  were 
not  intended  for  evening  frocks  that 
daringly  reveal  numerous  vertebrae 
and  even  Erte  couldn't  cover  her 
naughty  shoulder  bones  that  pro- 
vokingly  thrust  themselves  out  like 
twin  blades. 

And,  oh  dear!  Nothing  seems 
quite  right  with  our  picture  ladies. 

Aileen  Pringle  —  artists  have 
raved  over  her — has  a  beautiful 
face,  but  her  body  is  dreadfully 
hard  to  clothe  in  lines  of  smooth 
symmetry. 

However,  a  dazzling  blonde  won 
Erie's  approval,  and  also  a  vivid 
brunette.  Claire  Windsor  and  Car- 
mel  Myers  he  mentioned  with  de- 
light. Carmel,  particularly,  was  a 
joy  to  gown,  because  she  knew  how 
to  wear  her  clothes.  Her  move- 
ments are  slow  and  undulating — 
not  short  and  jerky.     She  moves 

with  a  grace  that  adds  distinction  to  any  frock.  No  useless 
mo' ions  of  the  hands — Erte  loathes  the  technique  that  teaches 
of  fluttering  ringers. 

Norma  Shearer  drew  a  compliment  for  her  sleek  coiffure, 
although  it  had  not  been  his  privilege  to  create  a  gown  for  her. 


Features  as  perfect  as  Norma 

Shearer's     are     made     more 

beautiful  by  a  smooth,  tight 

coiffure,  says  Erte 


''Never  darken  my  door 
again!"  cried  Erte  to  Lillian 
Gish,  when  Lillian  disagreed 
— decidedly  —  with  the  fash- 
ion creator 


"Miss  Shearer  should  wear  her 
hair  drawn  smoothly  back  from 
her  face.  It  gives  her  a  distin- 
guished air.  Fluffy  hair  is  for 
faces  not  so  beautiful." 

Another  thing  that  puzzles 
Erte,  born  of  France — 

"Alas,  my  friends  in  Paris — 
they  send  me  clippings  of 
stories  that  have  been  published 
in  French  journals.  One  of  the 
stories  says,  'Erte  advocates 
shaving  the  brows  from  the  face 
and  using  patent  leather  eye- 
brows!'    Imagine! 

"  My  friends  say,  '  Can  this  be 
our  Erte?  He  must  have  gone 
quite  mad  in  Hollywood — poor 
Erte!  Or  perhaps  some  impostor 
has  taken  his  name  and  fame!' 
And  at  the  studio  the  officials 
say  this  is  publicity — this  eye- 
brow thing.  I  have  no  regard 
for  publicity." 

So  Erte  has  packed  his  draw- 
ing book,  pencils,  eraser  and  paints  and  is  hieing  himself  back 
to  Paris,  where  Art  is  Art  and  the  feminine  form  is  divine. 

He   does   say   one    thing   for  Hollywood,  tho — harken  ye, 
Chamber  of  Commerce! 

Erte  says:     "The  climate — I  love  it'     It  is  glorious!"

Everything's  Rosy  at  Chaplin's 


Charlie  and  Lita  have  made  up. 
The  family  cradle  is  being  dusted  again 


By 
Ivan  St.  Johns 


ONCE  upon  a  time  Charlie  Chaplin  said  he'd  like  to 
have  a  family  of  four  or  five  kids. 
It  begins  to  look  as  though  Charlie  is  going  to  have 
his  wish  come  true. 

What  with  one  small  son.  the  image  of  bis  illustrious  father, 
already  kicking  around,  and  another  heir  or  heiress  due  along 
in  April  sometime,  Charlie's  future  as  the  father  of  a  large 
family  seems  to  be  shaping  up  nicely. 

There  was  a   time  not  so  long  ago  when  the  marriage  of 
Charles  Spencer  Chaplin  to  his  sixteen-year-old  leading  lade. 
Lit  a      Grey,    looked    as 
though  it  was   s  u  rely 
headed  for  the  roeks. 

Charlie  lived  in  one 
house.  Lit  lie  Mrs.  Chap- 
lin and  her  mother  lived  in 
another.  Charlie  talked  a 
good  deal  about  how  gen- 
ius couldn't  be  stilled  by 
family  ties,  and  appar- 
ently hadn't  altogether 
forsaken  his  role  of  the 
great  modern  lover. 
Charlie  was  seen  about  a 
great  deal  and  almost 
never  with  his  young 
bride.  Of  course  this  was 
before  the  first  babv  came. 


NOWall  that  is 
changed.  Charlie 
and  his  bride  not  only  live 
under  the  same  roof  in  the 
big  Chaplin  Beverly  Hills 
mansion,  but  seem  senti- 
mentally devoted  to  each 
other.  Young  Charles 
Chaplin.  Jr.,  is  the  apple 
of  the  great  comedian's 
eye  and,  it  would  appear, 
the  center  of  his  new  ex- 
istence as  a  domestic  citi- 
zen. 

And  now  that  positive 
knowledge  has  succeeded 
the  many  rumors  that  a 
new  baby  is  expected  in 
the  Chaplin  household, 
Charlie  —  while  insisting 
that  it's  a  little  too  early 
to  talk  about  the  matter — 
beams  complacently  and 
looks  the  image  of  an  ex- 
ceedingly proud  father. 

Charlie's  good-natured 
avoidance  of  discussing 
the  coming  event  is  in 
marked  contrast  to  his 
Sphinx-like  attitude  prior 
to  the  announcement  last 
June  of  the  birth  of  Mrs. 
Lita  Grey  Chaplin's  first 
baby.  At  that  time  the 
birth  announcement  fol- 
lowed weeks  of  mystery, 
during  which  Chaplin  and 
his  wife's  relatives  avoided 


A  devoted  wife,  a  sturdy  son  and  an  expected  visit  from  the 
stork  in  April,  have  turned  the  lonely  genius  into  a  happy 
family  man  and  good  citizen.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Chaplin  are 
seen  everywhere  together,  beaming  in  approved  connubial 
fashion 


all  interviews  and  refused  to  admit  even  that  an  heir  was 
expected. 

Tl  1.1  R  I    is  no  doubt  in  the  minds  of  Charlie's  many  friends  in 
I  lolly  wood  that  the  advent  of  the  Chaplin  boy,  his  startling 
resemblance  to  Charlie,  and  the  fact  that  he  is  as  line  and  stunh 
a  son  as  any  man  ever  boasted,  has  brought   about   an  under 
standing  between  Charlie  and  his  beautiful  girl  bride. 

Those  who  know  Charlie  intimately  hold  the  opinion  that 
the  little  comedian  is  more  in  love  with  Lita  than  he  has  ever 

been  with  any  other  wom- 
an. That  he  has  been 
from  the  start,  but  that 
the  threatened  domestii 
shipwreck  came  from  a 
case  of  too  much  family 
on  the  bride's  side. 

However  this  may  be. 
Charlie  has  at  least  given 
up  his  announced  plan  of 
a  European  tour  without 
his  wife  and  infant  son, 
and  is  hard  at  work  on  his 
next  picture  and  living 
very  happily  with  his  girl 
bride. 

On  his  return  from  New 
York  a  few  months  ago. 
where  he  attended  the 
opening  of  "The  Gold 
Rush,"  Charlie  brought 
Lita  a  large  and  strikingly 
handsome  diamond  as  a 
little  gift,  and  Lita  has 
been  enjoying  a  series  of 
shopping  sprees  which 
have  resulted  in  any  num- 
ber of  marvelous  new- 
gowns,  coats  and  evening 
wraps. 

The  C  h  a  p  1  i  n  s  have 
been  appearing  every- 
where together— which 
is  also  unusual  and  has 
occasioned  much  com- 
ment— at  openings  and 
Hollywood  parties.  And 
now  it  is  as  unusual  to  see 
Charlie  out  in  public  with- 
out Lita  as  it  was  follow- 
ing their  wedding  to  see 
them  out  together. 

Motherhood  has  un- 
doubtedly increased  little 
Mrs.  Chaplin's  charm  and 
beauty.  The  picture  col- 
ony has  come  to  know 
her,  and  she  is  universally 
liked  and  admired. 

She  is  sweet,  unspoiled, 
and  a  real  beauty  of  the 
striking  California-Span- 
ish type.  Her  grand- 
mother was  an  early  Cal- 
ifornia belle,  and  Lita 
seems  likely  to  follow  in 
her  footsteps.

The  mystery  a  ad 
(Irabu ess  which  sur- 
rounded theChaplin- 
Grey  marriage  in  a  little 
town  in  Mexico  nearly  a 
year  and  a  half  ago,  and 
later  the  birth  of  their 
first  child,  has  been 
swept  away,  as  if  a  wind 
had  driven  a  huge  cloud 
from  the  horizon.  Now 
the  bright  sun  of  domes- 
tic happiness  seems  to  be 
shining  for  both  of  them. 

And  never  has  Charlie 
been  nicer,  more  friendly 
or  seemingly  more 
happy. 

lie  has  always  wanted 
to  be  domestic — to  be  a 
real  family  man — if  we 
are  to  give  credence  to 
his  own  oft  spoken  words, 
and  now  the  great  come- 
dian seems  to  be  all  that. 

And  what  more  can  a  great  comedian — a  great  genius — ask 
of  life?  He  has  fame,  fortune,  a  beautiful  wife,  a  sturdy,  fine 
little  son.  And,  who  knows,  when  the  stork  visits  the  Chaplin 
home  again  along  in  April  it  may  leave  a  little  sister  for  Charles 
Spencer  Chaplin,  Jr.,  to  grow  up  with. 

No  wonder  Charlie  Chaplin  seems  happier  and  nicer  than 
ever  before. 

For  the  first  time  in  years  he  was  the  life  of  the  party  the 
other  evening.  It  was  at  the  farewell  dinner  tendered  Doug  and 
Mary  by  the  Writers'  Club  in  Hollywood.  Charlie  and  Lita 
were  there  in  genial  mood. 

The  guests  were  called  upon  by  the  master  of  ceremonies  and 


The  Chaplins  live  in  the  same  house  now,  and  this  is  it 


a>ked  to  do  or  say  a  little 
something.  When  Char- 
lie was  asked,  he  excused 
himself  to  those  around 
him  and  climbed  up  on 
the  table,  hauling  his 
chair  with  him.  Then 
seated  in  the  chair. 
Charlie  gave  two  cha- 
rades in  pantomime. 

One  was  a  Spanish 
bull  fight,  and  it  brought 
forth  uproarious  laugh- 
ter from  the  assembled 
guests.  The  other  was 
the  story  of  a  French- 
man who  calls  upon  a 
lady  not  his  wife,  but 
somebody  else's,  and  in 
the  midst  of  everything 
her  husband  returns.  It 
was  so  unearthly  clever 
that  the  guests  howled 
with  glee  and  begged  the 
comedian  to  give  them 
more.  But  he  good-naturedly  declined.  He  never  forgets  the 
way  to  please  is  to  fall  short  of  enough. 

the  delightful  thing  about  it  all  is  that  while  Charlie  is  be- 
coming thoroughly  domesticated,  the  charm  of  his  unusual 
personality  is  not  at  all  diminished  thereby.  Whether  he  con- 
tinues to  produce  his  comedies  or  elects  to  retire — in  the  course 
of  a  year  or  two — nobody  will  be  able  to  say  that  domesticity 
spoiled  his  genius. 

The  beautiful  pile  of  masonry  in  Beverly  Hills  that  is  known 
as  the  Chaplin  mansion  is  losing  its  gloomy  look.  It  is  begin- 
ning to  take  on  the  aspect  of  a  home,  where  people  live  and 
laugh  and  love.

Confessions  of    ******* 

a  Movie  Critic 


Rose  Pelswick 


PART  I 

"  "T"  READ  your  review  yester- 
day, and  it  was  awfully 
I    clever  —  but  what  did  you 
really  think  of  'Carmel's 
Censored  Sin'?" 

That,  breathless  reader,  is  the 
proper  way  to  open  a  conversation 
with  anyone  who  takes  it  upon 
(himself)  (herself)  to  inflict  (his) 
Cher)  personal  opinions  on  a  help- 
less public,  and  get  paid  for  it. 


I  AM  rising  to  say  my  piece  from  several  years'  vantage  of 
reviewing  Broadway  motion  picture  entertainment,  both  in 
rhyme  and  intelligibly,  for  the  New  York  Evening  Journal. 
Memoirs  are  being  published  daily  by  everyone  else  connected 
with  the  fourth  largest  industry  in  the  world.  Fourth  largest, 
because  bootlegging  is  not  yet  a  recognized  profession.  So  why 
not  the  movie  critic? 

And  the  movie  critic,  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  came  in 
late,  is  the  person  who  gets  to  see  all  the  shows  in  town  foi 
nothing;  who  has  tea  with  the  stars,  appointments  with  pro- 
ducers, and  arguments  with  press  agents;  who  is  expected  to 
hand  out  passes  to  all  the  theaters,  and  to  know  everything 
from  how  to  get  an  ambitious  sister-in-law  in  pictures  to  do 
you  think  D.  W.  could  use  a  scenario  based  on  the  invasion  of 
Northern  Canada? 

If  I  say  I  don't  know — and  I  don't — you  raise  a  supercilious 
eyebrow,  and  wonder  how  I  get  away  with  it.    So,  to  keep  up 


appearances,  I  make  a  stab  at  cinematic  omniscience,  and  the 
conversation  generally  goes  something  like  this: 

"Bruce  Mattrass  is  married,  isn't  he?'' 

"No,"  I  answer  brightly.  "Dear  Bruce  isn't  married.  II< 
told  me  in  confidence  that  he  intends  to  stay  single  all  his  life, 
last  time  I  had  luncheon  with  him  at  the  Algonquin." 

"My  God!"  you  reply  aghast,  "I  saw  a  picture  of  him  with 
his  two  children  in  last  month's  copy  of  Photoplay!" 

And  with  the  poise  for  which  movie  critics  are  renowned  all 
over  the  world,  I  smile  patronizingly,  and  say: 

"Oh,  you  mean  Bruce  Mattrass.  I  was  thinking  of  two 
other  fellows." 

MOTION  pictures  are  reviewed  every  week  in  either  a 
theater  or  in  a  projection  room,  and  there  is  a  set  pro- 
cedure of  etiquette  for  either  contingency.  Catching  the 
picture  in  the  theater  means  pushing  your  way  through  tru- 
crowd  lined  up  in  front,  Sunday  night,  nonchalantly  handing  a 
season  pass  to  the  door  man,  and  murmuring.  "  Press!" 

Strong  men  fall  back  at  the  sound  of  the  word.  Weak  women 
ask  you  how  do  you  get  that  way?  And  when  you  leave  the 
theater,  you  take  the  manager  or  press  agent  aside,  and.  in  a 
good  natured  way,  reproach  him  kindly  for  having  broken  up 
a  perfectly  good  week-end  by  making  you  stay  in  town  to  see 
that  kind  cf  a  picture. 

In  the  projection  room,  where  the  producer,  manager  or 
press  agent,  or  all  of  them,  occupy  adjoining  and  comfortable 
chairs,  it  is  always  good  form  to  make  crude  puns  about  the 
situations,  sub-titles  and  story.  At  the  end  of  the  film  you 
thank  the  projectionist,  and  ask  humorously.  "What's  wrong 
with  this  picture?"    And  a  whimsical  [  continued  on  page  141  |

Hollywood's  Four  Hundred  Club 


HERE  are  the  first  pictures  of  Hollywood's  new  and 
ultra-exclusive  Four  Hundred  Club.  The  directors  of 
the  club  purchased  the  luxurious  Japanese  mansion 
situated  on  a  high  hill  overlooking  all  Hollywood,  which  has 
long  been  world-famous.  The  place  was  created  originally  by 
the  Bernheimer  brothers,  millionaire  importers  of  Oriental 
goods.  They  had  spent  years  and  a  fortune  in  collecting  art 
treasures  from  the  far  East,  but  when  one  of  the  brothers  died 
recently,  the  other  sold  the  estate. 

The  grounds  consist  of  twelve  acres,  landscaped  in  the 
Oriental  manner  and  dotted  with  age-old  shrines  and  statues 
brought  from  China  and  Japan.  In  one  corner  of  the  gardens 
there  is  a  miniature  but  complete  Japanese  village.  The  Four 
Hundred  Club,  whose  membership  is  exclusively  prominent 
motion  picture  people,  will  make  extensive  improvements, 
involving  a  total  expenditure  of  $2,500,000.  On  either  side  of 
the  building  here  shown  wings  will  be  built.  One  wing  will 
house  a  theater  and  the  other  a  spacious  ballroom.  A  large 
swimming  pool  will  be  constructed  in  the  foreground.  The 
riding  stables  will  be  in  the  rear.  The  trail,  shown  in  the 
picture,  winds  for  miles  through  the  Hollywood  hills. 


The   men's  lounge,   direct  I>    ofl 
the  entrance  hall,  is  riotous  w  it  h 

color.    Soft  silUs  cover  even  the 

window  frames  and  the  furnish- 

ings  are  of  priceless  teakwood 


The  club  boasts  several   bed- 
rooms  as   luxurious   as   the   one 

shown  In  the  oval.    The  bed  is  a 
splendid   example  of  Japanese 

hand   carving,    while   the  Japa- 
nese prints  arc  the  sort  for 
which  collectors  die 


The  main  building  (below),  constructed 
around  this  beautiful  patio,  has  a  porch 
which  runs  its  entire  length  and  which 
will  be  used  as  an  outdoor  tea  room. 
The  antique  bronze  figure  in  the  fore- 
ground   is   another    collector's    jewel 


Below  is  the  main 
building,  reached  by 
one  of  the  longest  stair- 
ways in  the  world,  only 
a  small  part  of  which 
is  shown  in  the  picture. 
To  this  building  wings 
will  be  added.  The 
porch  will  be  turned 
into  an  open  air  res- 
taurant

Marion  Davies  introduces  the  Beverly  Bob  for  Beautiful 
Blondes.  It's  just  like  Dad's — clipped  in  back  and  short 
in  front — and  she  wears  it  in  "Beverly  of  Graustark." 
But  it's  interesting  to  look  at  anywhere.  Don't  try  it 
unless  you  are  very  beautiful 


Lookit  that  eager  expression  on  Betty  Compson  and 
lookit  James  Cruze's  hand  in  his  pocket  the  moment 
they  step  off  the  train.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Crure  came  East 
to  do  their  Christmas  shopping.  Three  thousand  miles 
mean  nothing  in  their  life 


THERE  is  in  New  York  a  starlet  whose 
invitations  to  luncheon  are  gracefully 
ducked.  The  starlet  is  Lois  Moran.  The 
shied  invitations  are  not  Lois'  fault.  They  are 
Lois'  diet's  fault. 

There  is  no  more  charming  cinema  debutante 
than  the  accomplished  Miss  Moran.  There 
is  no  quarrel  with  her  personality,  which  is 
packed  with  sweetness  and  light  and  all  the 
naivete  that  her  contract  with  the  estimable 
Samuel  Goldwyn  demands.  The  quarrel  is 
with  Lois'  carrots.  Also  Lois'  tomatoes  and 
beans  and  other  products  of  Nature's  great 
bounty. 

The  trouble  is  that  Lois  cats  those  gifts  of 
Nature  just  as  Nature  hands  them  forth — 
after  they  have  been  washed,  of  course. 
Beyond  the  washing  Lois  will  not  permit  them 
to  go.  Eood  which  has  touched  kitchen  sto\  t >s 
never  touches  Lois.  Not  since  Lillian  Gish 
nibbled  raw  carrots  on  the  stand  in  Charles 
Duell's  suit  has  diet  played  so  important  a 
part  in  a  stellar  life. 

l.ois,  like  Lillian,  takes  her  carrots  raw.  She 
takes  everything,  in  the  food  line,  raw.  She 
literally  eats  nothing  that  is  cooked.  Neither 
docs  she  drink  lea  or  coffee. 

Certainly  she  shuns  those  things  from  which 
our  Herb  draws  his  inspiration.  White  bread 
never  pales  her  table.  Candy  and  pastry  are 
anathema  to  her. 

The  diet  started  with  Mrs.  Moran,  Lois' 
mother.  Mis.  Moral)  was  put  on  the  diet  by 
her  physician.  Lois  adopted  it,  too.  and  so 
sincerely  are  they  convinced  of  its  merits,  they 
try  to  get  their  guests  to  go  and  gnaw  likewise. 

However  it  must  be  admitted  that  Lois  has 
the  most   beautiful   natural  complexion   to  be 

noted  the  length  of  Broadway.

'  I  'HE  more-or-less  official  announcement  of 
-»■  the  engagement  of  Florence  Yidor  to  the 
famous  director,  George  Fitzmaurice.  which 
has  recently  been  made,  renders  it  possible  to 
tell,  on  Elinor  Glyn,  a  story  that  is  another  of 
those  too-good-to-keep  kind. 

News  of  this  engagement  has  been  leaking 
out  in  the  Hollywood  picture  colony  recently, 
since  Mrs.  Yidor  obtained  her  divorce  from 
King  Yidor,  and  is  now  accepted  without  ques- 
tion, since  neither  Mrs.  Yidor  nor  Mr.  Fitz- 
maurice deny  it. 

Some  weeks  ago  Madame  Glyn  gave  a  dinner 
party  in  honor  of  a  visiting  English  nobility. 
It  was,  to  drop  for  a  moment  into  the  ven- 
acular,  some  dinner.  Mrs.  Glyn,  you  know, 
prides  herself  on  the  correct  manner  in  which 
she  does  things,  and  has  been  just  a  little  given 
to  looking  down  upon  the  crude  Western 
manners  of  many  of  the  screen  celebrities. 

But  at  this  dinner  she  seated  Mrs.  Yidor 
and  Mr.  Fitzmaurice  directly  opposite  King 
Yidor  and  Eleanor  Boardman,  the  young 
screen  actress  whose  engagement  to  him  has 
been  recently  rumored. 

Whether  Mrs.  Glyn  slipped  up  in  arranging 
her  table,  or  whether  elite  European  social 
eu>tom  expects  people  simply  to  ignore  little 
things  like  that,  nobody  knows.  But  the  fact 
remains  that  the  dinner  party  was  rather  un- 
comfortable for  everyone  concerned  and  that  a 
lot  of  people  have  since  quietly  chuckled  over 
Mrs.  Glyn's  faux  pas. 

"TJTELLO,  Miss  Yalli,  I'm  awfully  glad  to 
*•  ■'■meet  j on." 

And  ten  minutes  later  he  had  kissed  her. 
Such  is  the  fiery  impetuosity  of  the  Irish.  Last 
work,  even  for  Hollywood. 


This  was  the  romantic  introduction  of 
Yirginia  Yalli  and  Pat  O'Malley.  both  of  whom 
have  worked  in  Hollywood  for  several  years 
but  who  had  never  met  before,  either  socially 
or  professionally. 

The  meeting  took  place  on  the  morning  of 
their  first  scenes  together  in  Universal's 
"Wives  For  Rent."'  They  acknowledged  in- 
troductions and  literally  went  into  a  "clinch" 
for  the  picture,  the  first  being  a  love  scene. 

IN  seclusion  in  the  home  of  a  friend  at  Alta- 
dena,  not  so  many  miles  from  Hollywood. 
Barbara  La  Marr.  still  beautiful,  but  lying 
frail  and  broken  on  a  bed  of  pain,  is  making  a 
valiant  fight  for  the  recovery  of  her  health  and 
strength. 

"  Hello,  everybody!  I'm  getting  better — I'll 
be  all  right  and  back  with  you  pretty  soon.'' 
This  is  the  message  she  sends. 

Ami  the  host  of  friends  in  the  film  colony 
who  love  her  sincerely  hope  she  will. 

POLA  rehearsed  in  the  dark  the  other  day. 
Xo,  they  are  not  filming  "Jurgen."  but 
Tola  was  using  her  own  beautiful  chinchilla 
coat  in  the  scene.  Now,  as  you  probably 
know,  chinchilla  is  a  very  rare  and  costly  fur, 
and  the  furrier  told  Lola  that  the  harsh  lights 
used  in  the  studio  would  undoubtedly  fade  and 
mar  the  fur.  so  he  cautioned  her  to  avoid  ex- 
cising it  to  the  Kleigs  any  more  than  possible. 
Thus  she  rehearsed  in  the  dark — and  only  once 
during  the  filming  of  the  scene  did  the  gigantic 
battery  of  lights  gleam  upon  the  chinchilla. 

Tola  was  the  guest  of  honor  at  a  Wasp  meet- 
ing held  at  the  Writers'  Club  the  other  night, 
and  she  wore  her  gorgeous  wrap.  With  her 
glistening  black  hair  and  waxen  complexion — a

Not  quite  two  years  old,  Mildred  Gloria  Lloyd  has 
learned  to  look  the  camera  right  in  the  eye.  She  expects

Hollywood's  novelty  hound,  Kathleen  Key,  has  gone

dash  of  vermilion  for  lips — and  all  bundled  in 
her  chinchilla  cloak,  she  looked  as  if  she  had 
stepped  from  the  pages  of  a  French  novel  .  .  . 
and  would  have  to  hurry  back  for  the  con- 
tinuation of  the  plot. 

XTAZIMOYA'S  frank  confession  of  her  un- 
^■^  wedded  life  with  Charles  Bryant  is  char- 
acteristic of  the  Russian  actress.  Without  any 
attempt  at  dissembling,  she  told  the  reporters 
how  for  fifteen  years  she  had  lived  as  Mrs. 
Charles  Bryant  in  the  eyes  of  the  world,  when 
in  fact  she  was  the  legal  wife  of  a  Russian, 
whose  name  is  not  divulged. 

Xobody  knew  that  Xazimova  and  Bryant 
were  not  married  until  the  latter  applied  for  a 
marriage  license  to  Miss  Marjorie  Gilhooley  in 
X  Milford.  Conn.,  when  he  was  obliged  to 
state  that  he  had  not  been  married  before. 

As  is  often  true  in  such  cases,  everyone  but 
Madame  Xazimova  seemed  aware  of  Bryant's 
interest  in  Miss  Gilhooley.  So  when  the 
actress  sailed  for  Paris  nobody  doubted  that  it 
was  to  secure  a  divorce  from  Charles  Bryant. 
Xazimova  did  get  a  divorce,  but  it  was  from 
her  Russian  husband. 

She  returned  to  the  United  States  with  full 
expectation  of  legalizing  her  status  as  the  wife 
of  the  man  with  whom  she  had  lived  so  many 
years.  Only  then  did  she  learn  of  his  interest 
in  Miss  Gilhooley. 

"  So  I  let  him  go  and  marry  her — and  may 
God  make  him  happy,"  says  this  heroine  of  so 
many  Ibsen  tragedies. 

'"PHIS  month's  prize  for  the  perfect  gift  goes 
■*■  to  the  Mayor  of  Camberwell,  London, 
England. 

Betty  Blythe  was  the  guest  of  honor  at  the 


opening  of  Camberwell's  largest  motion  picture 
theater  last  month.  Betty  sang  several  songs 
and  made  a  speech.  Then  a  member  of  parlia- 
ment attempted  to  address  the  crowd,  but  they 
would  not  allow  him,  and  Betty  had  to  speak 
up  again. 

So  enthusiastic  were  the  Cambenvellians 
over  Miss  Blythe  that  the  mayor  thought  it 
would  be  nice  to  make  the  star  a  present  in 
return  for  her  courtesy. 

Imagine  Betty's  dismay  when  she  received 
an  enormous  oil  painting  of  the  mayor  himself 
in  official  robes! 

She  is  now  wondering  whether  she  will  have 
to  pay  duty  on  it  as  a  work  of  art  when  she 
returns  to  America. 

T-TOLLYWOOD  now  has  a  new 
name  for  the  various  general 
managers  who  have  been  coming 
and  going  recently  at  the  Universal 
City.  They  are  no  longer  called 
"general  manager"  but  "officer  of 
the  day." 

THE  thoughtfulness  of  a  mere  acquaintance 
saved  Mary  Miles  Minter  the  shock  of 
having  to  read  in  the  newspapers  of  the  death 
of  her  beloved  grandmother.  Mrs.  Julia  Branch 
Miles.  Mrs.  Shelby,  Mary's  mother,  had  for 
months  refused  to  respond  to  her  daughter's 
telegrams  and  long  distance  calls. 

On  the  Friday  before  Mrs.  Miles  passed 
away,  the  former  screen  star  received  a  tele- 
gram from  an  acquaintance  telling  her  that  her 
grandmother  was  not  expected  to  live. 

In  despair,  Mary  wired  the  family  physician 
and  begged  him  to  read  her  "mama,"  as  she 
always  called  her  grandmother,  this  message: 


"My  own  beautiful  little  Mama.  I  am 
with  you,  darling,  in  heart  and  mind  and 
will  soon  be  there  to  hold  you  close  in  my 
arms  as  I  used  to  do.  Wait  for  me,  pet, 
but  if  you  cannot,  then  remember  that  the 
soul  is  all  and  nothing  can  ever  separate  us 
in  spirit.  I  will  keep  you  with  me  always. 
With  all  my  love,  my  little  Mama,  Your 
Baby." 

Mrs.  Shelby  was  finally  induced  to  break  her 
long  silence  with  Mary,  and  spoke  to  her 
daughter  over  the  telephone.  She  said  there 
was  no  hope  and  that  it  was  merely  a  question 
of  time.  A  later  wire  informed  Miss  Minter 
that  her  grandmother  had  passed  away. 

The  funeral  services  occurred  so  soon  after 
Mrs.  Miles'  death  that  it  was  impossible  for 
Miss  Minter  to  reach  Eos  Angeles  in  time  to 
attend.  She  tried  to  get  the  Curtiss  airplane 
people  to  take  her  to  the  coast  by  air,  but  be- 
cause of  the  heavy  fogs  prevailing  they  refused 
to  risk  it. 

The  devotion  of  the  little  old  lady  for  her 
unhappy  grandchild  seemed  the  one  depend- 
able thing  in  the  tragic  life  of  beautiful  Mary 
Miles  Minter.    And  now  that  is  gone. 

•"THIS  story  savors  of  monkey  business. 
•*-  But  Doug  MacEean  told  it  to  me — and 
he's  a  minister's  son,  so  it  must  be  all  right.  It 
seems  that  when  they  were  making  "Seven 
Keys  to  Baldpate,"  Edith  Roberts,  Doug's 
leading  lady,  and  Fred  Xcwmcyer.  the  director, 
and  Doug  got  into  an  argument  about  whether 
the  Charleston  was  a  new  dance  or  whether  it 
originated  'way  back  when  we  wore  tails  and 
frolicked  in  the  tree-tops. 

Jocko,  the  studio  monkey,  was  busy  chasing 
his  eternal  guest  in  the  corner  of  the  stage,  and 

hi 


The  most  unkindest  cut  of  all.    Pola  calls  this  new  bob 

"the  orchid"   for  its  resemblance  to  those  blossoms. 

Smooth  and  sleek,  it  is  cut  with  a  point  caressing  either 

cheek  and  a  long  oval  neckline 


In  the  good  old  days  of  1907  when  the  girls  supplied 

their  own  orchids,  they  wore  the  billowing  hirsute  effect 

that  Alice  Joyce  is  here  supporting.     This  is  the  chic 

Alice's    make-up    for    "Mannequin" 


one  of  the  musicians  had  laid  down  his  accor- 
dion for  the  moment,  so  Fred  Newmeyer 
picked  up  the  instrument  and  coaxed  the 
monkey  from  the  corner.  Then  Fred  hurst  into 
a  rollicking  Charleston  tune  and  Edith  did  her 
steps. 

The  monkey  scratched  its  head — for  one 
reason  or  another — and  in  a  few  minutes  his 
little  paws  were  giving  a  crude  but  exact 
demonstration  of  the  dance  that  has  set  the 
world  a-jump. 

But  that  doesn't  settle  the  question.  Was 
the  monkey  stirred  by  some  dim  recollection  of 
prehistoric  jungle  gyrations  or  was  he  just  a 
little  ape  aping? 

"DAL,  the  bulldog  star,  is  high-hat- 
ting his  canine  friends  these  days 
because  of  a  new  distinction  con- 
ferred upon  him. 

He  is  the  only  dog  in  Hollywood 
with  gold  teeth. 

Pal  is  not  an  old  dog,  but  due  to 
his  strenuous  career  of  rescuing 
movie  heroes,  gnawing  ropes,  pull- 
ing bundles  and  carrying  objects  in 
his  mouth,  his  teeth  became  worn 
down. 

A  real  human  dentist,  not  a  vet- 
erinary, capped  the  teeth  with  gold. 
Pal  is  reported  to  be  doing  a  lot  of 
unnecessary  grinning  around  the 
studios  these  days. 

AS  PiroTopLAY  goes  to  press,  Esther  Ralston 
is  hurrying  away  to  Hollywood  to  play  two 
very  important  roles.  One  is  the  lead  in  a  new 
picture.  "The  Wind  Goddess,"  for  Para- 
mount, and  the  other  has  to  do  with  the  little 
Mind  god. 

Esther's  friends  say  that  she  will  become  the 
bride  of  her  manager,  George  Webb,  on  Christ- 
mas  Day,  at  her  Hollywood  home.  Mr.  Webb 
was  formerly  an  actor  but  is  now  devoting  him- 


self  to  the  business  of  managing  the  beautiful 
film  star.  The  couple  have  been  engaged  for 
some  time. 

pVERYONE  knows  Joe  Schenck  is  a  good 
-'—'business  man  and  a  lucky  gambler.  But 
perhaps  it's  more  than  luck — possibly  good, 
sound  judgment — which  makes  him  win  so 
often.    His  latest  bet  makes  me  think  so. 

Joe  has  just  wagered  Charlie  Chaplin  S5.000 
that  the  little  comedian  won't  finish  his  next 
picture,  which  has  to  do  with  a  circus,  six 
months  from  the  day  he  starts. 

Looks  to  us  like  Schenck  won  the  bet  the 
moment  he  made  it,  for  a  six  months'  picture 
would  be  a  world's  record  for  Charlie. 

TN  selecting  the  Thirteen  Baby  Stars  of  1926,

Borden  and  June  Marlowe  are  the  only  young

slight  advancement  in  the  past  year.

TX7HILE  in  Hollywood,  Michael 
Arlen  managed  to  pull  an  epi- 
gram or  two  for  the  benefit  of  the 
natives — which  he  gave  away  free, 
although  they  may  possibly  appear 
in  book  form  later.  Here's  one  of 
them : 

"In  Hollywood,  when  two  people 
get  together  it's  a  conference.  When 


it's  three  or  more  it's  a  dinner  in 
honor  of — " 

"TV  TELL,"  said  Oliver,  the  handsome  e\tra. 

W  "I'm going  back  to  Goldwyn's  tomorrow 
and  finish  a  bit  in  '  Ben  Hur'  that  I  started  two 
years  ago." 

If  this  opus  isn't  the  world's  greatest,  then  it 
will  lie  a  terrific  waste  of  time  and  dollars 
Already  it  has  taken  three  years  of  the  former 
and  three  millions  of  the  latter. 

WELL,  now  the  secret's  out.  Helen  Fee 
Worthing  must  be  some  relation  to  "The 
Tattooed  Countess." 

The  other  day  I  was  over  at  the  'Warner 
Brothers'  studio  watching  Jack  Barrymore  and 
Helen  Fee  enact  a  very  impassioned  love  scene 
for  "Don  Juan."  During  a  prolonged  kiss 
Helen  Fee  was  to  drop  one  small  satin  mule  and 
slowly  lift  her  foot — in  approved  ecstatic 
fashion. 

And  on  the  bottom  of  her  left  sole  was 
tattooed  a  beautiful  blue  and  red  butterfly!  She 
declared  that  she  was  the  loser  of  a  let  at  a 
beach  resort  several  years  ago  and  the  penalty 
was  that  she  was  to  have  a  butterfly  tattooed 
somewhere  on  her  body. 

So  Helen  Fee.  being  a  Follies  girl  in  those 
days,  chose  her  sole  as  the  least  exposed 
portion  of  her  anatomy. 

"\A7'HERE    do    you    live,    Miss 

V  V  Banky?" 

It  was  at  the  United  Studios  and 
the  fair  Vilma  had  just  been  intro- 
duced to  some  visitors. 

"Up  in  the  hills  in  a  little  house. 
His  name  I  think  it  is  bungalow," 
answered  Vilma.

Fashion's  slave,  Bebe  Daniels,  and  fashion's  slave  brace- 
let on  Bebe's  hat.     The  slave  bracelet  began  its  movie- 
career  round  Connie  Talmadge's  ankle.    Later  it  twined 
many  a  stellar  wrist,  but  Bebe  gave  it  head  space 


She  felt  her  talented  husband  was  worth  more. 
In  fact  she  harped  upon  it  >o  much  that  Mr.

Like  a  dutiful  spouse  Mrs.  Menjou  followed. 
The  dapper  Adolphe  eluded  her  for  a  week  by 
checking  in  and  out  at  various  hotels,  but  she 
finally  caught  up  with  him.  Some  kind  of  com- 
promise must  have  been  effected,  for  the  Men-

together  in  the  country.

the  Waiter"  would  indicate  that  the  actor  him- 
self must  be  satisfied  with  his  new  arrange- 
ments with  Lasky. 

T  SAW  Pauline  Frederick  on  the  street  the 
*■  other  day,  and  the  irresistible  Polly  looks 
quite  as  charming  as  ever,  which  proves  con- 
clusively that  eight  months  of  kangaroos  and 
boomerangs  must  have  been  very  agreeable. 
She  has  just  returned  from  Australia,  you 
know. 

All  sorts  of  rumors  are  afloat  about  her  forth- 
coming wedding  to  a  well-known  Australian 
clubman.  It  is  understood  that  he  is  a  polo 
player — captain  of  the  Harden  I'olo  Team 
which  won  the  Countess  of  Dudley  Cup  at  the 
recent  meet  in  Wanganiu,  New  Zealand.  Polly 
doesn't  deny  it,  so  there  must  be  some  truth  in 
the  report. 

It  was  not  long  ago  that  she  received  a 
divorce  from  Doctor  Rutherford  of  Seattle,  and 
before  that  the  alliance  between  Willard  Mack, 
the  playwright,  and  herself  was  snipped  by  the 
divorce  judge. 

TIM. MY  CRUZE  and  his  wife,  Betty  Comp- 
•'son.  are  leaving  almost  immediately  for 
Europe,  where  they  are  going  to  spend  their 
vacation  and,  incidentally,  buy  furniture, 
dishes,  and  decorations  for  their  new  home. 

Hetty's  chief  trouble  has  been  getting 
Jimmy's  trunks  packed.  Not,  she  says,  be- 
cause he  has  so  many  clothes,  but  because  he 
has  so  few. 


"  When  T  finally  got  his  things  together,"  she 
confided,  "I  almost  wept.  It  seemed  too  silly 
to  put  them  in  a  trunk.  They'd  rattle  around 
like  one  bean  in  a  kettle.  They  looked  like 
they'd  go  nicely  in  a  sack." 

So  she  kept  at  him  until  she  finally,  piece  by 
piece,  got  him  a  wardrobe  covering  a  wide 
enough  range  to  make  him  presentable  in  the 
capitals  of  Europe  under  most  circumstances, 
and  t'ot  them  satisfactorily  disposed  in  a  hand- 
some new  wardrobe  trunk. 

"And  now."  she  said  with  a  sigh,  "if  I  can 
only  get  him  to  wear  them!" 

T^OOTBALL  season  reminds  me  of 
this,  which  Mildred  Davis  Lloyd 
used  to  tell  on  herself. 

When  Mildred  first  began  to  pre- 
pare the  layette  and  the  nursery  for 
the  coming  of  the  Lloyd  heir  or  heir- 
ess, she  said  to  Harold  one  day, 
"Do  you  know,  while  I'm  waiting  for 
baby,  I'm  going  to  take  up  my  music 
again.  I  think  I'll  set  aside  an  hour 
or  two  every  morning  for  a  piano 
lesson,  and  I'll  try  to  sing  all  the 
time,  whenever  I  think  of  it.  I  do 
believe  a  lot  in  prenatal  influence, 
and  I  should  like  my  baby  to  sing 
and  play  and  be  musical." 

Her  husband  contemplated  her 
solemnly  for  several  seconds.  Then 
he  said,  "You  couldn't  manage  to 
play  a  little  football,  could  you?" 

LARRY  SEMON"  need  not  search  far  for  a 
comedy  plot.  He  has  one  right  in  his  own 
home.  Mrs.  Larry  Semon,  who  was  Dorothy 
Dwan.  has  a  furniture  moving  complex.  When 
not  engaged  in  playing  foil  for  her  comedian 
husband.  Dorothy  expends  her  youthful 
energy  moving  the  piano  from  beside  the  fire- 
place to  between  the  windows.    And  she  insists 


upon  doing  it  herself,  dei  taring  that  scratches 
and  bruises  are  part  of  the  kick  she  gets  out  of 

thi>  pastime. 

Larry  became  so  bewildered  the  other  even- 
ing upon  returning  home  and  finding  his  living 
room  rearranged  again  that  he  inadvertently 
dropped  his  gloves  in  the  goldfish  bowl  and  sat 
down  on  a  potted  poinsettia. 

XTOTR  to  golf  widows:  Adelc  Rowland,  who 
•*-^is  Mrs.  Conway  Tearle  in  life,  is  donning 
the  weeds  to  join  your  illustrious  sisterhood.  It 
seems  that  Conway  has  foresworn  picture  act- 
ing to  make  the  course  in  eighty,  and  until  that 
time  comes  he  says  he  will  positively  not  appear 
in  any  picture.-,. 

Tearle  is  the  man  who  puts  a  neat  little 
"Inc."  after  his  name  when  signing  checks  and 
contracts — not  to  show  that  he  is  interested  in 
writing  fluid,  but  thai  he  and  his  holdings  form 
a  company  which  is  incorporated. 

So  I  guess  the  Tearle  family  won't  starve  if 
Conway  take.-,  a  year  to  perfect  his  golf  skill. 

A  \"(  )TIIER  crowning  glory  has  gone  to  make 
-*Vi  Russian  beard  for  a  movie  extra.  This 
time  it  is  Madeline  Hurlock's. 

This  sinuous  siren  of  the  cinema  will  appear 
with  a  boyish  bob  in  the  Sennett  comedy  that 
brings  Ben  Turpin  back  to  the  screen  after  a 
year's  absence. 

"I  could  say  my  hair  was  coming  out,"  says 
Madeline,  who  had  oft  declared  she  would 
never  bob;  "but  the  truth  is  I  was  bored  with 
myself  one  day,  and  went  out  and  had  it  done.'' 

BILL  POWELL  writes  gaily  from  San  Juan, 
Porto  Rico,  where  he  has  been  dallying 
about  in  the  Atlantic  and  with  "Aloma  of  the 
South  Seas,"  that  ninety-live  per  cent  of  the 
natives  there  die  from  indolence,  and  the  re- 
maining five  per  cent  from  falling  cocoanuts. 
There  are  land  crabs  as  big  as  manhole  covers 
that  climb  the  cocoanut  trees,  clip  the  cocoa- 
nuts,  return  to  earth  and  eat  the  nuts.

Wedding  Bells  of 


Herbert  Howe  in  Octobor  Photoplay 
told  us  why  so  many  movie  marriages 
go  on  the  rocks.  Five  of  these  nine 
unions  are  between  actors  and  actresses. 
Will  their  self-expression  be  cramped 
by  the  confines  of  matrimony?  Will  the 
over-developed  ego  engendered  by  suc- 
cess prevent  these  people  from  yielding  to 
the  inevitable  compromises  of  marriage? 


The  family  of  Falaise  will  have 
weathered  its  first  year  on  January 
28th.  1926.  They  seem  to  be  very 
happy  together  and  Gloria's  friends 
feel  that  it  is  a  successful  union 


Viola  Dana  and  Maurice  "Lefty" 
Flynn  were  in  love  with  each  other 
a  long  time  before  they  married. 
Does  happiness  really  end  where 
the  minister  begins? 


Nobody  knew  Doro- 
thy Dwan  until  she 
became  Mrs.  Larry 
Semon  last  January. 
With  youthful  opti- 
mism, she  expects  to 
have  a  career  in  pic- 
tures, and  be  a  real 
wife.  She  is  the 
year's  youngest  bride 


Bert  Lytell  was  not  deterred  by  the   failure  of  his  first  marriage  to  an 

actress,    Evelyn    Vaughn,    from    marrying    Claire   Windsor,    in    Juarez, 

Mexico,  last  May.     Claire  is  also  a  veteran  of  a  former  marriage 


12  Months 


1  [elen  Ferguson  and  Bill 
Russell  were  sweethearts 
for  five  years  before  they 
took  the  almost  fatal — in 
Hollywood — step 

Lilyan  Tashman  and 
Edmund  Lowe  were 
married  in  Septem- 
ber. Edmund  plays 
the  lover  to  the 
screen's  loveliest 
women.  Lilyan 
vamps  the  screen's 
handsomest  men. 
Can  they  resist  the 
propinquity  of  the 
studio  sets? 


The  question  of  Constance  Bennett's 
movie  career  was  apparently  settled 
quite  definitely  before  she  became 
Mrs.  Philip  Plant  in  November.  She 
says  she  is  through  with  pictures. 
This  would  seem  to  take  the  jinx  off 
their  marriage 


The  marriage  of  Jack 
Dempsey  and  Estelle  Tay- 
lor is  the  first  of  its  kind — 
world's  heavyweight  box- 
ing champion  and  screen 
player.  Each  has  a  defi- 
nite career.  Estelle  doesn't 
want  Jack  to  fight.  He 
doesn't  want  her  to  act. 
How  will  it  end? 


Producers  have  not  the 
vanity  and  self-concentra- 
tion that  is  part  of  an 
actor's  temperament. 
They,  therefore,  would

A  Visit  with  Emil  Jannings 


A  closcup — with  a  long  shot  or  two  m 
which  Emil  states  that  he  likes  to  eat  more 
than  is  good  for  him — and  look  at  the  ladies. 
But  youd  never  suspect  the  reason  he  hasn't 
yet  come  to  America 


Emil  Jannings,  the  greatest  German 
actor  of  them  all,  was  actually  born  in 
New  York  City.    Yet  he  speaks  no  English 


TALLER  than  he  seems  on  the  screen — at  least  five  feet 
ten  inches — 
Not  old;  hardly  middle-aged — 

Not  fat,  either,  but  a  compact  hundred  and  ninety 
pounds  of  bone  and  muscle  reminding  one  of  Jim  Jeffries  in  his 
prime — 

And  with  a  face  not  gross  at  all,  but  sterner,  finer-lined  than 
the  face  that  most  of  his  pictures  show — 

— Emil  Jannings,  as  I  met  him  on  a  wonderful  morning  in 
Berlin. 

Away  from  the  lamps,  the  last  semblance  of  the  actor  fades 
out.  His  clothes  are  plain,  but  are  exceedingly  well-tailored 
and  are  worn  well.  Reminds  you  of  a  captain  of  industry,  even 
to  that  big  laugh  which  is  known  around  the  world.  You  know, 
outside  the  wooden  stage  and  the  silver  stage,  you  very  seldom 
see  a  real  master  of  men  who  isn't  a  good  laugher.  And  Jan- 
nings' face,  which  in  repose  is  severe,  sometimes  almost  to 
ferocity,  lias  a  lurking  twinkle  wailing  to  break  up  the  whole 
forbidding  mask  into  a  cataract  of  mirth — a  mirth  which  is 
Rabelaisian  and  red-blooded — the  mirth  of  a  man  who  loves 
life  and  (he  ladies,  and  is  not  ashamed  of  his  frank  enjoyment 
of  both. 

We  met  in  the  doorway  of  the  E.  I'-.  A.  Studio — a  low.  Ion;,' 
structure  in  the  heart  of  modern  Berlin,  built  by  famous  Play- 
ers and  now  tenanted  by  the  European  Film  Alliance.  On  the 
street  front  a  dealer  in  antique  furniture  has  handsome  ware- 
rooms.  Two  flights  of  stairs  and  a  carefully  guarded  door  bring 
the  visitor  out  upon  the  open  gallery  which  every  German 
studio  raises  around  and  above  its  stage. 

In  the  center,  l,ya  de  l'utli,  the  reigning  female  star  of  Ger- 
many, was  finishing  a  highly  emotional  drama  containing  about 
as  much  hokum  and  just  as  much  reality  as  the  average  emo- 
tional masterpiece.     You  may  remember  I.va;  only  a  year  or 


"Passion"    brought   Pola  Negri  to  this  country. 

while  it  made  Jannings  the  highest  salaried  actor 

in  his  native  land 


two  ago  she  appeared  as  a  maid  in  "Above  All  Law."  a  play 
which  enjoyed  some  small  circulation  in  America,  and  over  her 
grace  and  lissomeness  and  sensitive  dark  beauty  there  were 
even  then  many  prophecies  of  future  stardom. 

Well.  Lya  has  arrived,  with  all  the  stellar  appurtenances. 
There  have  been  several  husbands  and  considerable  talk;  I  saw 
her  glittering  under  many  diamonds  which  came  out  of  the 
ground  and  not  out  of  a  factory,  surrounded  by  ministering 
maids  and  a  number  of  small  dogs  to  which  she  was  distractedly 
devoted;  also,  she  was  working  under  police  bail,  for  one  of  her 
several  motors  had  just  killed  a  man.  and  while  annihilating 
pedestrians  is  a  leading  sport  in  America,  in  Germany  it  is  oddly 
considered  quite  an  offense. 

Jannings'  dressing-room  is  not  up  among  the  stars.  We 
clattered  down  an  iron  stair  to  the  stage  tloor,  then  back  of  a 
pile  of  scenes  which  led  to  a  dusty  passage  way  off  which  the 
motor-room  and  the  carpenter-shop  sounded — clear  to  the  end — 
and  into  a  room  so  quiet,  so  different  from  the  rest  of  the  noisy 
studio  that  it  almost  seemed  a.s  if  we  had  entered  a  cottage  in 
the  country.  The  rustling  branches  of  a  tine  linden  tree  shaded 
the  wide-open  window,  through  which  flashed  the  green  of  a 
rolling  lawn,  and  the  silver  of  a  lake  upon  which  water-fowl 
swam  to  and  fro.  A  pair  of  deep  chairs  invited  repose  more 
than  alert  attention — and  that  was  all  of  luxury,  or  even  com- 
fort. 

Jannings  told  me  that  lie  chose  the  room  because  it  over- 
looked a  little  park,  and  that  he  hated  furbelows  and  furniture 
in  his  work-shop.

travel  via  the  Pfitzner  route;  Jannings  is 
the  only  cultured  German  1  met  in  Ber-

But  Pfitzner,  as  much  of  an  American  as 
I    m,  and  at  the  same  time  as  thor- 
oughly  German  as  Jannings  himself, 
played  equally  well  in  the  box  and  be

We  talked — not  of  cabbages  and 
kings,  because  in  Germany  kings  are  nix 
and  cabbages  are  kraut — but  of  many 
other  thing-.  For  one  thing,  of  the  fun- 
damental difference  in  the  demands  of  a 
German  audience  and  an  American 
audience. 

"One  of  your  heavy,  gloomy  photo-

Th 


H/5  SECRETARY— Metro-Goldwyn 

AT  last  we  have  a  story  of  the  ugly  duckling  wherein  the 
character  remains  consistent  throughout. ,  Director 
Hobart  Henley  and  Norma  Shearer  are  aware  that  one  trip 
to  the  beauty  parlor  can  change  the  face  but  not  the  nature 
of  an  individual.  When  the  homely,  love-starved  stenog- 
rapher turns  into  a  raving  beauty,  the  timid  old-maidish 
heart  still  beats  beneath  the  new  silk  frock. 

Norma  Shearer  gives  a  splendid  performance  as  Ruth 
Lawrence,  the  kind  of  secretary  that  only  the  boss's  wife 
could  love.  Cotton  stockings,  sensible  shoes,  pincc  ncz  and 
all.  Without  any  exaggerated  make-up,  beautiful  Miss 
Shearer  looks  plain  enough  to  be  a  movie  critic. 

And  the  moral  is  that  it  is  not  the  fast  worker  with  the 
pencil  who  gets  to  go  on  business  trips  with  the  boss. 


SALLY,  IRENE  AND  MARY— Metro-Goldwyn 

ONE  of  the  nicest  pictures  of  back  stage  chorus  girl  life 
that  il  has  been  our  lot  to  see.  For  a  change,  we  see 
the  tinseled  creatures  as  they  really  are — hard-working, 
ambitious  youngsters  who  go  home  to  cornbeef  and  cabbage. 
Usually,  instead  of  to  night  clubs  and  broiled  lobster. 

The  picture  as  a  whole  is  very  well  east,  the  title  roles 
perfectly  so.  Sally  O'Neill  as  Mary,  the  Irish  kid  from  the 
tenements,  makes  a  distinct  impression  in  this,  her  first 
appearance  in  a  part.  She  has  a  bewitching  personality  and 
an  instinct  for  comedy  that  will  win  her  an  important  place. 

Joan  Crawford  as  Iran-,  the  sentimental  one,  gives  a  good 
performance;  and  Constance  Bennett's  work  in  the  role  of 
Sally,  the  girl  that  Broadway  "got,"  makes  one  want  (o 
weep  over  her  decision  to  make  no  more  pictures.

A  Review  of  the  J\[ew  Pictures 


STAGE  STRUCK— Paramount 

THIS  makes  Gloria  Charlie  Chaplin's  nearest  rival. 
Charlie  got  himself  called  a  genius  and  taken  very 
seriously  when  he  mastered  the  trick  of  pathos  behind  the 
gag.  In  "Stage  Struck"  Gloria  has  learned  the  same  lesson. 
If  Charlie  is  a  genius,  this  picture  makes  Gloria  a  genius, 
loo.     And  besides,  Gloria  also  has  beauty  and  IT. 

Taken  from  a  story  by  Frank  R.  Adams  and  directed  with 
finesse  and  cunning  by  Allan  Dwan.  this  production  offers 
perfect  amusement  value.  It  makes  no  pretences  of  art  or 
torrid  realism.     It  is  unselfconscious  and  gay  and  very  tine. 

Gloria  plays  Jennie,  a  small-town  waitress,  who  wants  to 
be  an  actress  because  her  boy  friend  admires  the  girls  of  the 
theater.  Jennie  wants  Ornte,  who  makes  flapjacks  in  the 
restaurant  where  she  works,  and  nothing  is  too  hard  for 
her  lii  undergo  to  land  him.  Pathetic,  screamingly  funny 
little  Jennie,  trying  to  be  gay  for  Ormc;  staying  behind  to 
Ao  his  work  while  he  goes  flirting  with  the  girl  on  the  show- 
boat; paying  the  five  dollars  that  would  have  bought  her 
diploma  from  the  correspondence  school's  dramatic  course 
for  a  silk  shirt  for  her  hero;  Ja:>::c  imitating  her  fancy  rival's 
make-up  ami  getting  knocked  about  in  the  showboat's 
prixe  ring  as  a  local  masked  marvel  that  Ormt  may  see  her 
actually  upon  the  stage  and  thus  win  him  back  from  the 
actress'  clutches,  these  scenes  pull  at  your  heart  even  as 
they  make  you  rock  with  laughter.  The  final  love  scene 
is  low  comedy  raised  to  art  by  the  tenderness  and  sincerity 
with  which  Gloria  endows  it.  And  for  those  who  insist, 
there  is  a  sequence  that  shows  Gloria,  the  glamorous. 

Don't  miss  this  one.  "Stage  Struck"  proves,  if  further 
proof  is  necessary,  that  the  little  marquise  is  a  very  human 
being.      Take  the  whole  family.     The  children  will  adore  it.

BLUEBEARDS  SEVEN  WIVES— First  National 

IT  was  a  gieat  day  when  producers  discovered  comedy  had 
box  office  value.  That  discovery  made  for  some  of  the  best 
pictures  of  the  year,  among  which  this  Robert  Kane 
production  may  be  safely  included. 

"Bluebeard's  Seven  Wives"  is  a  gloiious  comedy  with 
the  movies  kidding  their  own  methods  and  the  actors 
kidding  their  usual  screen  selves.  There  is  a  love  plot,  too, 
and  beautiful  settings  and  even  bits  of  "Romeo  and  Juliet" 
to  make  it  glamorous.  But  most  of  all  there  are  laughs. 
Real  laughs. 

It  tells  the  comic  rise  of  John  Hart  from  boob  bank  teller 
to  screen  sheik  and  the  struggle  his  real  love  for  Mary  Kelly. 
a  waitress,  has  to  keep  up  with  his  publicity  love  affairs  that 
entail  seven  wives.  All  John  really  wants  is  a  chicken  farm 
and  Mary.  Instead,  a  dumb  instrument  of  destiny,  he 
becomes  Don  Juan  Hartez,  a  he-siren,  due  to  a  dhector  who 
wanted  to  prove  he  could  make  any  sap,  and  a  press  agent 
who  regards  the  truth  as  a  form  of  lunacy. 

The  cast  is  perfect.  Ben  Lyon  gives  a  joyous  performance 
of  the  stammering  moron  who  never  learns  what  it  is  all 
about.  Lois  Wilson  is  great  as  Mary  Kelly,  a  genuine 
comedy  performance.  The  scene  of  those  two  eloping,  try- 
ing to  escape  in  a  Ford  coupe,  while  the  press  agent,  flaw- 
lessly done  by  Sam  Hardv,  chases  them  and  some  four 
hundred  other  flivver  coupes,  until  finally  the  dazed  lovers 
drive  through  a  brook,  only  to  emerge  in  the  minister's 
parlor  with  their  clothing  shrunk  past  politeness,  will  bring 
tears  of  joy  to  your  eyes. 

You'll  make  sure  of  a  happy  New  Year  by  seeing  this  film. 
The  children  can  go  too.  They'll  think  it's  great  fun — which 
it  is. 


"A  KISS  FOR  CINDERELLA"— I'm  amount 

IT  has  no  plot,  this  "  Kiss  for  Cinderella,"  except  the  beau- 
tiful old  plot  of  the  Cinderella  legend.  It  has  no  more 
sex  than  sunshine.  It  has  no  fashion  parade.  Hut  it  is 
exactly  what  its  advertisements  call  it,  "A  Christmas  Gift 

for  All." 

Charm  and  laughter  and  youth  it  has,  and  while  it  marks 
no  great  advance  for  Betty  Bronson,  it  ranks  Herbert 
Brenon  among  the  really  important  directors. 

Because  she  is  starved  and  (did,  she  gets  a  blessed  fever 
that  transports  her  to  a  fairy  ball  where  she  wears  the  glass 
slippers  and  the  beautiful  gown  and  meets  the  Prinec,  who 
is  really  her  friend,  the  policeman.  And  then  when  she 
gets  well  again — well,  you  go  see  for  yourself.  And  lake 
ever)-  one  of  the  children,  even  the  baby.  It's  their  lollipop. 


THE  WEDDING  SONG— Producers  Distributing  Co. 

A  STORY  of  sterling  value  will  often  make  a  success  of  a 
production  which  is  otherwise  mediocre.  Provided  of 
course  it  is  coupled  with  skillful  direction.  Alan  Hale. 
formerly  a  well  known  heavy  and  recently  branching  out 
in  the  directorial  field,  this  being  only  his  second  production, 
has  convened  Ethel  Watts  Mumford's  novel  into  a  picture 
that  will  take  an  immediate  place  among  the  best  screen 
efforts  of  the  crook  type. 

A  crook's  plans  to  "clean"  a  pearl  king  through  his  sister 
and  his  confederates  are  cleverly  depicted.  But  true  to 
movie  fashion  the  plans  are  frustrated  and  love  triumphs. 
An  excellent  cast  is  headed  by  Leatrice  Joy  and  Robert 
Ames.  Praise  is  due  George  Marion,  Jr.,  for  his  clever 
sub-titles.     It's  worth  bracing  the  wintry  winds  to  see  this.

LADY  WINDERMERE'S  FAN— Warner  Brothers 

THE  plot  by  Oscar  Wilde  was  not  so   original.     With 
Wilde's  epigrams  it  became  literature.     With  Lubitsch's 
subtle  translation  it  is  delightful. 

Irene  Rich  is  charming  as  Mrs.  Erlynne,  the  naughty 
mother  of  little  Lady  Windermere  (May  McAvoy).    Ronald 
Colman  is  a  suave  Lord  Darlington. 
Not  for  children. 


THE  MIDNIGHT  SIN— Universal 

HERE  is  a  Russian  picture  as  Slavic  as  Vodka.  The  plot 
has  been  ground  through  many  cinema  mills  but  under 
the  deft  handling  of  Dmitri  Buchwetski,  it  is  a  splendid  film 
—  the  stoiy  of  a  ballerina  of  American  birth,  of  moneyed 
power  behind  the  throne  and  a  dissolute  Grand  Duke. 

Raymond  Keane,  a  youth  who  will  cause  palpitation  of 
many  flapper  hearts,  plays  the  lead.     Watch  the  lad. 


A  WOMAN  OF  THE  WORLD— Paramount 

AWAKE!  Negri  fans,  from  your  long  siesta.  The 
fascinating,  continental  Pola  is  with  us  once  again. 
A  dangerous,  cynical,  tempestuous  Italian  countess  she  is, 
wearing  a  tattoo — insignia  of  an  amorous  adventure. 

Director  Malcolm  St.  Clair  deserves  credit  for  the 
restraint  shown  in  the  small-town  scenes  and  types  that 
must  have  tempted  exaggeration.     Not  for  the  children. 


IRISH  LUCK— Paramount 

NOW,  Tommy  Meighan,  you  are  yourself  again.  After 
a  series  of  impossible  vehicles,  the  Meighan  fans  will 
be  delighted  to  see  their  favorite  in  one  of  the  finest  pictures 
he  has  made  in  some  time.  Tom.  a  traffic  policeman. 
wins  a  popularity  contest.  The  award — a  trip  to  Ireland. 
He  resembles  Lord  Filzhugh,  and  that's  the  plot.  A  beautiful 
travelogue  of  Ireland  adds  to  the  entertainment  value.

MANNEQUIN— Paramount 

GOOD  entertainment  hut  rather  disappointing  for  a 
fifty  thousand  dollar  Fanny  Hurst  story  produced  by 
James  Cruze.  The  story,  dealing  with  a  kidnapped  baby, 
who  as  a  young  woman  is  reunited  with  her  wealthy  parents 
following  her  acquittal  in  an  intensely  dramatic  and  well 
handled  murder  trial,  is  sometimes  spotty  in  places,  as  if 
Cruze  found  it   impossible  to  get   the  story  in  seven  reels.

WE  MODERNS— First  National 

"HPOO  young  to  go  to  war  but  old  enough  to  go  to  the 
J-  devil."  so  sayeth  the  subtitle  and.  too.  the  best  way 
to  explain  what  it's  all  about.  Colleen  Moore  si  ruts 
through  the  picture  with  the  breezy  and  carefree  manner  of 
the  modern  flapper.  One  can't  help  1ml  delight  in  her. 
Hut  not  comparable  with  "Sally"  or  •'Flaming  Youth" — 
it's  just  Colleen's  perfoimance  that  is  worth  while. 


SKINNER'S  DRESS  SUIT    Universal 

THIS  does  not  contain  the  hilarity  that  the  Denny  prede- 
cessors have.  However,  there  arc  many  Funny  situations. 
How  to  dc  the  Savannah  Shuffle  a  la  Charleston  I  It  is  a 
scream  to  watch  Reginald  Denny  and  Laura  La  Plante 
teach  a  gathering  of  wealthy  society  people  the  dance 
that  has  made  such  a  claim  to  popularity.  A  refreshingly 
clean  comedy  with  an  excellent  cast,  ably  directed. 


CLOTHES  MAKE  mi:  rn<  \n     First  National 

RESORTING  to  the  one  little  trick  thai   he  used  in 
"Sally,"  Leon  Errol  doe-  his  utmost  to  try  and  amuse 
an  audience.     If  you  have  seen  Tirol  before,  you've  seen 

even  thing  there  is  if  you  haven't,  you  may  gel  a  laugh 
out  of  his  eccentric  knees.  The  Story  is  weak,  considered 
from  a  comedy  viewpoint,  and  if  you  can  get  a  guffaw  out 
of  this  you'ie  a  bettei   man  than  1  am. 


THE  ARIZOSA  SWEEPSTAKES— Universal 

AX  excellent  Hoot  Gibson  Western  introduced  in  a  novel 
way.  This  Western  is  tilled  with  good  snappy  action 
and  excellent  comedy  situations.  The  story  opens  in  a 
Chinatown  fight  in  which  Hoot  becomes  entangled.  To 
avoid  the  police  he  returns  to  his  ranch,  and  wins  a  thrilling 
horse  race.  He  is  proved  innocent.  A  young  lady  is  at 
the  bottom  of  the  race  affair  and  Hoot  wins  her.  too. 


MADE  FOR  LOVE— Prod.  Dist.  Co. 

DEODORIZED  Arabs,  a  wicked  prince,  a  bevy  of 
blighted  beaux  and  a  lover  who  prefers  the  chaste 
curves  of  antique  alabaster  bowls  to  the  alluring  curves  of 
his  fiancee,  keep  Leatrice  Joy  fully  occupied  in  this  picture 
of  the  sizzling  sands.  It  is  entertaining,  and  you  will  agree 
its  two  delights  are  Leatrice  Joy  boyishly  .shingled  and  slim 
and  the  titles  by  George  Marion,  Jr. 


THE  ONLY  THING— Metro-Goldnyn 

ANOTHER  of  Elinor  Glyn's  stories  of  mythical  king- 
doms. This  is  no  different  from  the  previous  Glyn 
affairs,  only  perhaps  a  little  more  exaggerated.  Eleanor 
Boardman  is  the  beautiful  princess  who  is  betrothed  to  the 
old  king.  Conrad  Nagel.  with  a  blond  mustache  and  pasted 
ears  a  la  Glyn  style,  is  the  brave  knight  who  rescues  the  fair 
lady.     Lovers  of  romance  will  eat  this  up. 


JOANNA— First  National 

IYYTrXDER  if  the  Cinderella  of  long  ago  had  the  chance  to 
sow  a  few  wild  oats  and  have  all  sorts  of  millionaires  pro- 
pose to  her — or  were  there  "butter  and  eggers"  in  those 
days?  This  started  out  to  be  a  real  serious  effort  to  depict 
the  carryings-on  of  the  younger  set.  It  resulted  in  being 
very  funny,  but  I  am  sure  the  comedy  was  unintentional.

Close-Ups  «»<" 


By  Herbert  Howe 


Satire,  Humor  and 
Some  Sense 


Long-Shots 


ALTHOUGH  the 
New  Year  has  been 
officially  welcomed, 

everything  is  at  a 
standstill  until  I  make  my 
annual  prediction  as  to 
Who'll  Be  Who  on  the  new- 
year  screen. 

In  order  not  to  tie  up 
traffic  any  longer  I  here- 
with issue  the  official  bull 
(ecclesiastical  word  for  edict 
and  distinguished  bv  infalli- 
bility). 

After  long  vigil  and 
prayerful  conference  with 
the  wise  men  and  prophets 
of  blessed  Hollywood,  your 
pastor  is  able  to  foretell  the 
coming  events  with  all  the 
conscience  of  gospel. 

THESE  individuals,  it  is 
agreed,  will  crowd  the 
foreground  of  interest  this 
new  year  by  virtue  of  the 
greatest  progress: 

Of  companies,  Metro- 
Goldwyn. 

Of  executives,  Joseph 
Schenck. 

Of  impresarios,  Samuel 
Goldwyn. 

Of  directors:  King  Vidor, 
Erich  Yon  Stroheim,  Rex 
Ingram,  Ernst  Lubitsch, 
Malcolm  St.  Clair. 

Of  pictures:  "Ben  Hur," 
"The  Big  Parade,"  "The 
Merry  Widow,"  "Stella 

Dallas,"  "Mare  Nostrum,"  the  latest  brain  child  of  Harold 
Lloyd. 

Of  stars — Gentlemen:  John  Gilbert,  Ramon  Novarro.  Ronald 
Colman,  Richard  Dix,  Raymond  Griffith,  Harry  Langdon. 

Ladies:  Corinne  Griffith,  Yilma  Banky,  Norma  Shearer, 
Belle  Bennett. 

I  LIST  these  as  the  most  significant  because  of  the  promise 
they  made  toward  greater  laurels. 

Gilbert  is  the  wow  to  succeed  Yalcntino,  who  succeeded 
Francis  X.  Bushman,  who  succeeded  Maurice  Costello. 

Corinne  Griffith  is  the  established  star  who  appears  most 
likely  claimant  to  the  queenly  division. 

Ramon  Novarro  with  "  Hen  Hur"  will  take  a  unique  position 
as  an  artist  whose  fame  will  reverberate  to  immortality  with  the 
great  picture. 

Ronald  Colman  will  continue  leisurely  but  as  steadfast  and 
enduring  as  true  steel  or  Lew  Stone. 

Yilma  Banky,  among  discoveries,  commands  a  boundless 
horizon. 

Norma  Shearer,  while  definitely  limited,  is  likewise  definitely 
fixed  on  the  heights  of  heaven. 

Of  maturing  finds,  Dolores  Costello  offers  the  most  delectable 
surmise. 

Among  the  solid  silver  stars  Norma  Talmadge  will  lead 
dirough  her  ability  to  make  great  pictures  at  any  price.  Gloria 
jwanson  has  reached  her  peak;  how  long  she'll  remain  there  is 
problematical.  Harold  Lloyd  and  Doug  Fairbanks,  invincible 
as  star-producers,  will  continue  as  they  choose.  Chaplin's 
-reatness  is  subject  only  to  his  personal  mood.

Bool  got  pinched.     They  found  it  in  his  cellar.     He 

had  a  permit.    But  the  permit  ran  out,  leaving  Bool 

low  and  dry 


Richard  Dix  is  the  long- 
distance man  for  Paramount 
who  may  go  higher  or  re- 
main a  program  card  ac- 
cording to  producers' 
wi.-dom. 

Raymond  Griffith  may 
par  with  Lloyd  if  given  time 
and  facilities. 

Harry  Langdon's  prog: 
is  up  to  his  ability  as  a  pro- 
ducer now. 

Among  directors.  King 
Yidor  is  surest,  with  "The 
Big  Parade"  as  a  centurion 
of  greater  greatness.  Yon 
Stroheim  is  the  most  excit- 
ing because  the  most  erratic. 
Ingram  with  "The  World's 
Illusion"  has  a  chance  of 
topping    all    achievements. 

Lubitsch  must  quit  mak- 
ing pastries  and  go  back  to 
raw  beef  like  "Deception" 
and  "Passion." 

Mai  St.  Clair  is  the  big 
hope  among  the  young 
directors. 

HONORABLE  mention 
should  go  to  Irving 
Thalberg,  who  is  hard  to 
detect  because  embedded  in 
organization.  But  it  was 
under  his  personal  super- 
vision that  "The  Unholy 
Three"  was  hatched,  "The 
Merry  Widow"  and  "The 
Big  Parade." 


THE  Yalentino  storm  has  blown  over,  leaving  Rudie  to 
paddle  his  bark  by  main  strength  of  histrionic  ability. 

Gloria  Swanson  has  weathered  a  similar  gale  of  sensational- 
ism in  creaking  vehicles. 

The  backs  of  the  mob  are  now  turned  on  these,  and  bravos  go 
up  for  Mr.  John  Gilbert,  the  superior  actor  of  passional  in- 
terludes. 

The  swift  revolution  finds  him  on  the  rostrum  decked  with 
flowers  and  bunting,  and  the  incense  rolls  up  as  it  did  for 
Valentino  but  an  hour  ago. 

How  long  John  will  wear  the  purple  is  a  problem  that  depends 
not  so  much  on  him  and  his  ability  as  upon  his  pictures — and 
those  of  the  other  fellows.  But  with  "  Hardelys,  the  Magnifi- 
cent" as  his  next  there  is  no  sign  of  an  immediate  halt. 

EVERY  Napoleon  must  go  into  exile. 
We  rear  idols  to  slay  them. 
The  highest  position  affords  the  best  target. 
Even  as  the  faithful  are  shouting.  "There  is  no  other  god!" 
they  are  edging  around  the  idol  to  pin  a  Kick-Me  on  his  coat- 
tails. 

Bouquets  today  and  Gates-Ajar  tomorrow. 

Who  ever  built  a  snow  man  without  kicking  it  to  pieces? 


BUT  why  be  ! 
Gilbert  but 


i  mourner  at  the  feast?    My  gloves  applaud  Mr. 


Signor  le  Bool  Montana. 

Bool  got  pinched. 

They  found  it.     In  his  cellar.     Search  warrants,  I  suppose 
like  King  George  issued  in  the  days  of  our  Pilgrim  fathers. 


Society  has  its  Blue  Boo\.     Earth  has  its  Heaven.     Photoplay 

has  Herb's  Who's  Who  for  [926       The  rest  is  silence 


Bool  was  within  the  law. 
He  had  a  permit,  being  a 
foreigner  (did  you  ever  note 
that  nearly  all  my  friends 
arc  foreigners?)  and  some- 
thing midway  between  an 
ambassador  and  a  prelate. 
But  the  permit  ran  tun . 
leaving  Bool  high  and  drj 
or,  rather,  low  and  dry, 

IV  seems  my  fate  to  choose 
friends  w  hom  t  be  la  w 
eventually  covets.    And  on 

several  occasions  I've  had 
to  take  hurried  Bight  with 
them. 

I  fled  with  Rex  Ingram 
from  Paris  when  he  ab- 
ducted kada- Abdul- Kadir, 
1  he  Arab  boy  who  was  held 
in  virtual  slavery  by  a  Par- 
isian. The  gendarmes  ar- 
rived at  the  docks  too  late 
to  say  aught  but  adieu  as  we 
sailed  away,  but  wireless 
missives  terrified  us  in  mid- 
ocean,  and  only  Nathan 
Burkan,  the  chief  of  police 
and  Kada's  salute  to  the 
examining  official  kept  us 
from  seeing  New  York  by 
patrol  wagon. 

With  Novarro,  the  emi- 
nent Mexican  adventurer,  I 
defied  the  laws  of  two  nations 
by  sneaking  the  Italian 
Franco  border  under  the 
guns  of  soldiers,  all  because 
the  senor  was  outside  the 
law  as  to  passport. 

And  mein  friend  Tola,  the  eminent  Polish  gypsy,  nearly 
shuffled  off  to  bondage  when  she  came  lugging  an  emerald 
the  size  of  the  blarney  stone  and  twelve  objets  d'art  in  bot- 
tle form  right  past  the  government  officials  without  so  much 
as  saying  "  'scuse  me." 

Nor  will  I  forget  the  happy  hour  I  spent  in  jail  as  the  guest 
of  Hebe  Daniels,  known  in  that  day  as  Speed-Queen  Daniels. 
while  Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns  renewed  old  acquaintance  at 
every  cell  along  the  corridor. 

I  lowever,  my  'scutcheon  is  not  without  its  stain.  The  second 
night  after  my  arrival  in  France  to  kill  the  Kaiser,  whom  I 
hadn't  even  met  and  so  had  done  me  no  wrong,  I  was  lodged  in 
a  dungeon  of  Brest  in  a  bastille  that  sheltered  Napoleon  before 
he  :>ailed  for  Elba.  My  crime  was  in  trying  to  see  France  without 
first  asking  nursey  if  I  might  play  around.  That  dungeon  night 
left  its  print  on  my  soul.    Fve  felt  like  Napoleon  ever  since. 

BIT  my,  where  was  I?  When  I  get  on  to  my  war  remi- 
niscences there  is  no  stopping  me.  If  I  don't  watch  out  I'll 
have  nothing  to  tell  when  I  take  my  rocking  chair  on  the  front 
porch  of  the  old  soldiers'  home  at  Sawtelle,  in  the  near  future. 

Oh,  yes,  regarding  the  short  hour  of  idols  and  their  sad  fate 
which  leaves  them  penniless  or  millionaires  according  to  their 
wisdom. 

What  I  intended  to  say  is  that  only  artists  endure.  They  are 
not  sensations  and  yet  the  rarest  of  them. 

Chaplin  was  a  sensation  long  ago  but  not  through  person- 
ality. 

Time  and  again  he  has  been  tempted  to  come  out  from  under 
the  cover  of  his  clown  Chariot,  but  he  wisely  has  refrained. 

The  secret  of  screen  endurance  is  this:  Never  be  yourself  on 
the  screen;  off  screen,  never  be  anything  else. 


Mein  Friend  Pola,  when  she  came  lugging  an  em-

.is  given  to  envy  as  any 
mm  ie  artist,  I 

nora  Duse  thus: 

".  .  .  She  has  never  cre- 
ated a  part  that  can  be 
identified  with  her  name; 
she  has  never  treat  ed   a 

being  or  vision  thai  makes 
one  think  immediately  of 
lur.    She  has  done  nothing 

more  than  tt)  put  on  other 
people's  gloves,  wrong  side 

out.  Eleanora  Duse  is  a 
grand  actress,  even  a  very. 
very  grand  actress,  but  she 
is  not  an  artist." 

In  reply  la  Duse  said: 
"I  disdain  to  be  the 
virtuous  person  who  makes 
a  fuss  over  her  ability.  I 
also  disdain  to  put  my  per- 
sonal successes  above  the 
play,  because  the  interpreter 
of  a  work  of  art  must  be- 
merely  the  faithful  attentive  collaborator,  who  forces  herself  to 
transmit,  without  deforming  it,  the  poet's  creation  to  the  pub- 
lic. ...  It  has  been  said  I  have  not  treated  any  new  person- 
age.   This  I  consider  is  my  best  eulogy." 

WHERE  in  the  films  is  there  a  submerging  Duse  who  would 
not  deform  a  poet's  creation? 
But,  for  that  matter,  where,  oh  where,  is  there  a  poet? 

IN  the  presence  of  Vilma  Banky  (woman  of  flesh'  as  well  as 
goddess)  there  was  discussion  of  a  certain  little  star  who  has 
been  magnified  by  publicity  to  ridiculous  proportions.  On 
Faster  the  little  star  poses  with  eggs,  on  Thanksgiving  with  the 
full-blown  hen  and  on  other  occasions  with  any  fowl  or  fauna 
that  will  pose. 

She's  not  offensive  personally  but  her  publicity  is.  It  renders 
her  obtrusive. 

"Too  much  publicity,"  observed  Samuel  Goldwyn's  press 
agent  incongruously-. 

"Too  much  publicity!"  breathed  Vilma  with  wonder.  "  Can 
there  be  too  much  publicity?" 

"Yes,"  we  said  solemnly,  fingering  the  watch  fob. 

"Be  a  good  boy  then,"  said  Vilma,  gently  patting  the  p.  a.'s 
cheek.    "Give  Vilma  too  much  publicity." 

FOR  Vilma's  sweet  sake  I  trust  he  won't.     At  least  not  loo 
much  personal  publicity,   which  is  something  apart  from 
publicity  of  her  screen  image. 

Women  of  history  are  the  women  of  mystery.  Thus  the 
clever  woman  is  always  a  little  mysterious. 

For  years  Duse's  artistic  personality  was  laid  bare  to  the 
public  but  her  own  was  swathed  in       [  continued  on  page  1:7]

THE  living  room  of  Mr.  Anthony 
Merivale's  bachelor  flat  was  a  pleas- 
ant chamber,  with  its  book-shelves, 
its  Cecil  Aldin  prints  and  its  comfort- 
able red  leather  chairs,  not  to  mention  the 
crackling  log  fire.  A  cozy  room,  though  to- 
night its  serenity  was  somewhat  disturbed 
by  the  spectacle  of  Mr.  Anthony  Merivale 
himself,  pacing  restlessly  back  and  forth 
across  the  Bokhara  rug.  A  tall  young  gentle- 
man he  was,  with  the  February  tan  of  Florida 
upon  his  grave  features;  and  over  evening 
attire  he  wore  a  blue  brocade  dressing-gown. 
Of  a  sudden  he  halted. 

"Hodge!"  he  called  out.     "Hodge!" 

Came  a  patter  of  footsteps,  the  pantry  door  opened,  and 
Hodge,  Mr.  Merivale's  manservant,  stood  there — a  withered 
little  man,  quite  bald,  who  blinked  incessantly. 

"Did  you  call  me,  sir?" 

"You  heard  me  call  you,  didn't  you?  Then  why  ask  such 
silly  questions?"     (He  was  not  in  a  pleasant  mood,  surely.) 

"Right  you  arc,  sir.  " 

"What  time  is  it?" 

"A  bit  after  eleven,  sir.  " 

A  growl  from  Mr.  Merivale. 

Hodge  coughed.  "Miss  Stanton  isn't  late,  if  I  may  say  so. 
sir.     She's  scarcely  had  time  to  take  off  her  make-up  and— 

"Did  I  say  she  was  late?" 

"No,  sir,  but  your  expression — " 

"Nevermind  my  expression  !  "    (Hewas  in  a  temper  tonight.) 

"Right  you  are,  sir.  " 

"Mm."  Mr.  Merivale  turned,  scowling.  "Please  get  the 
stage  door  of  the  Lyceum  Theater  and  ask  if  Miss  Stanton's 
left  yet."  _ 

"Yes,  sir."  Hodge  picked  up  the  telephone.  "Bryant 
9543."  Then,  for  no  reason  at  all:  "Miss  Stanton  is  very 
beautiful.     And  a  promising  young  actress,  they  tell  me.  .  .  ." 

"Damn!"  Mr.  Merivale  seized  two  pillows  from  the  divan, 
and  hurled  them  to  the  floor. 

"Beg  pardon,  sir,"  said  1  lodge,  at  the  telephone.  "Is  any- 
thing wrong?" 

"  Wrong?  "  snapped  his  employer.  "  Does  it  look  as  if  there's 
anything  wrong?  "

"She  danced — alluring,  wildly  graceful — and  when 


"Sorry,  sir.     Anything  I  can  do?" 

"Yes.     Get  that  number.  " 

"They  don't  seem  to  answer.  ..." 

From  the  hallway  came  a  faint  sound. 

"What's  that?"' 

"Probably  the  elevator,  sir.  I  left  the  hall  door  open  for  a 
bit  of  ventilation. " 

Mr.  Merivale  resumed  pacing  the  floor. 

"  Oh,  why  doesn't  she  come?  Could  it  be  she's  angry  because 
1  asked  her  here  alone.  ..." 

"Perhaps."  ventured  the  loquacious  Hodge,  "perhaps  she's 
on  her  way  now,  sir. " 

"I  wasn't  talking  to  you!" 

"They  don't  answer,  sir."     Hodge  put  down  the  telephone. 

"But,  after  all.  why  shouldn't  I  talk  to  you?  I've  got  to 
talk  to  somebody!"  The  young  gentleman  flung  himself 
around,     "llodge.  how  long  have  you  been  with  me?" 

Hodge  cocked  an  eye  ceilingward.     "Six  weeks,  sir." 

"The  faithful  old  family  retainer!  Naturally  you're  inter- 
ested in  my  welfare. " 

"  Naturally,  sir. " 

"You've — ah — seen  Miss  Stanton  here?" 

"Oh.  yes,  indeed,  sir,  with  other  young  ladies — at  tea.  But 
this  is  the  fust  time  she's  ever  come  here  alone,  if  1  may — " 

"Have  you."  interrupted  Mr.  Merivale.  "noticed  anything 
in  my  manner  toward  her  that  would  indicate  I  was — in  love 
with  her?" 

"Now  that  you  ask  me.  sir" — Hodge  blinked — "you  have 
behaved  somewhat — " 

"Well.  1  aw  in  love  with  her.     But  it's  all  over!"

But  when  she  discovered

the  music  ended, tossed  the  flower  to  Anthony" 


"All  over,  sir?''  the  eyebrows  of  Hodge  lifted. 

"This  is  the  end."  Thrusting  his  hands  into  the  pockets 
cf  his  dressing-gown,  Mr.  Merivale  stalked  across  to  the  fire- 
place.    "I've  decided  not  to  see  her  again  after  tonight." 

"I  understand,  sir." 

"Xo,  you  don't.  I  don't  understand,  myself!  I  don't  know 
what's  happened  to  me.  "  With  a  show  of  ill-humor  he  kicked 
the  edge  of  the  Bokhara  rug. 

The  impossible  Hodge  sighed.  "Miss  Stanton  was  very 
charming.   ..." 

"Too  charming.     The  trouble  is,  she's  a  good  girl. " 

"  I  was  afraid  so,  sir.  "  Hodge  carried  a  small  table  over  and 
placed  it  not  too  near  the  fire.  Then  he  proceeded  to  lay  a 
lace  cloth,  on  which  he  set  a  bowl  of  red  roses. 

"Why,  she's  a  little  Puritan.  Matter  of  fact,  that's  what 
first  attracted  me  to  her.  She's  so  quiet  and  demure — posi- 
tively old-fashioned — doesn't  even  smoke  a  casual  cigarette. 
Xot  much  like  a  college  boy's  idea  of  an  actress!" 

"Dresses  very  modest,  sir,"  murmured  Hodge,  setting  silver 
and  china  upon  the  table. 

"Yes — she's  too  virtuous  to  have  pretty  clothes."  Mr. 
Merivale  frowned  severely.  "She's  too  nice.  She  hasn't 
enough  pep!  Sometimes  I  almost  wish  she  were  a  different 
sort  entirely — sophisticated,  bold,  worldly — even  mercenary. 
A  girl  with  whom  one  might  have  an  affair — and  then  forget 
about." 

"But — "  Hodge  coughed — "I'm  afraid  Miss  Stanton's  in 
love  with  you,  sir." 

"That's  just  it — she  is  in  love  with  me,"  said  Mr.  Merivale 
shamelessly.     "And  with  a  nice  girl  that  means  only  one  thing 


His  worried  expression  became  more  worried. 
That's  what   I'm   afraid  of.     I  dread   the  verv 


— marriage! 
"  Marriage! 
word!" 

"Quite  so,  sir."     Hodge  placed  two  chairs  at  the  table. 

"What  time  is  it?"  suddenly. 

"Twenty  minutes  past  eleven,  sir." 

"Then  she's  not  coming!"  His  voice  took  on  a  mournful 
note.  "But  then — perhaps  it's  just  as  well.  Only  I  did  want 
to — "  Mr.  Merivale  paused  dejectedly.  "Well,  it's  better  to 
get  it  over  with.  I've  made  up  my  mind — I'm  not  going  to 
see  her  again  after  tonight.  I  admit  it — I'm  running  away. 
Hodge,  you  and  I  are  in  for  a  change  of  climate.  We're  leav- 
ing for  California  tomorrow." 

Now  this  was  by  way  of  being  rather  a  blow  to  Hodge,  who 
had  no  fondness  for  the  California  climate.  But  he  was  every 
inch  a  gentleman's  gentleman. 

"Tonight  will  be  our  last  supper  together." 

"Right  you  are,  sir." 

"Damn  it!"  snapped  Mr.  Merivale,  "can't  you  say  anything 
but  'right  you  are'?  There's  nothing  right  about  it!  It's  all 
wrong!" 

"You  have  my  sympathy,  sir." 

"I  need  it."  He  regarded  the  table  gloomily.  "Our  fare- 
well supper \nd  maybe  she  won't  come.   ..." 

A  silence  came  over  the  room,  disturbed  only  by  the  crackle 
of  the  burning  log.  At  length  Hodge  with  soft  tread  crossed 
to  the  pantry  door  and  sighed  discreetly. 

"I've  put  the  champagne  to  chill.  Cliquot.  1911.  One 
glass  as  usual,  sir? "' 

"What?"  Anthony  looked  up.     "Yes,  of  course.     You  know 

55 


'"Did  you  call 
me.  sir?"' 


Miss  Stanton  doesn't  drink.  "  Whereupon  he  sank  into  a  large 
chair  before  the  fire  and  muttered,  as  if  to  himself:  "Well, 
it's  all  over.  ..."  Then,  almost  instantly  he  rose  with  a 
restless  gesture  and  lighted  a  cigarette. 

"Might  I  suggest,  sir,  since  you're  expecting  a  lady,  you  do 
look  somewhat — disarranged.  " 

"I  am  disarranged!"  Scowling,  Anthony  brushed  nervous 
fingers  through  his  hair,  all  tousled. 

"If  I  may  say  so,  sir,  you  don't  look  your  best." 

"I  don't  ivant  to  look  my  best!  I  want  her  to  see  me  as 
hideous  as  possible.  That  will  make  it  easier  for  her  to  forget 
me."  He  stared  fixedly  into  the  flames.  "Poor  little  girl, 
I  hope  she  doesn't  take  it  too  hard.   ..." 

And  at  that  instant  the  hall  door-bell  buzzed  ominously. 
Mr.  Merivalc  started. 

Then  Sylvia  Stanton  walked  in,  strikingly  lovely,  fair-haired, 
with  wide,  dark  eyes  and  vivid  red  lips.  "  Live  as  the  unclouded 
morning,  "  an  eminent  Chicago  dramatic  critic  had  once  written 
of  her  when  she  played  a  small  part  in  that  city.  As  she 
swept  into  the  room,  Anthony  caught  his  breath,  for  Sylvia 
Stanton,  whom  he  had  just  spoken  of  as  being  too  virtuous 
to  have  pretty  clothes,  was  wearing  a  magnificent  ermine  cloak. 

"Your  door  was  open  so  I  walked  right  in.  Good  evening, 
Hodge."     Her  smile  was  radiant.     "Hello,  Tony!" 

Anthony  stared  at  her  in  astonishment. 

"Well,"  she  said  in  a  crisp,  throaty  voice,  "you're  looking 
pale  and  interesting!  I  might  say,  more  pale  than  interesting! 
Why  do  you  stare  at  me  so?  Ah — you're  surprised  that  I'm 
lure.  You  didn't  think  I'd  really  come  here  alone,  did  you? 
But  here  I  am!" 


I — by    Jove!"    he   gasped.     "Where 


vou    got    those 


clothes?" 

"What  do  you  care — "  was  her  surprising  answer — "so  long 
as  the  bills  aren't  sent  to  you?" 

"Sylvia!" 

"But   look   at    yourself,    in    a 
matter,  did  I  wake  you  up?" 

"No,  no — the  fact  is.  I  just — " 

"Then   run,"   she   commanded. 


dressing  gown!     What's   the 


i ml    put    on    your   coat. 


Must  I  remind  you  that  you're  having  a  lady  for  supper?" 

"Yes.  of  course."  Mr.  Merivale  backed  hastily  toward  the 
door  to  his  sleeping-chamber. 

"And  for  Heaven's  sake  brush  your  hair!" 

"Pardon!"  with  another  astonished  glance  at  her.  he  bolted 
from  the  room. 

Sylvia  Stanton  turned  brightly  to  the  little  manservant. 

"My  coat,  Hodge.  And  be  careful  of  it — it's  worth  a 
fortune. " 

Hodge,  with  an  armful  of  ermine,  stood  there,  blinking. 
He  could  not  comprehend  this  metamorphosis. 

"You,"  said  she,  "are  admiring  my  clothes." 

Indeed,  she  looked  lovely  as  a  Drian  drawing,  in  a  chic 
evening  frock  of  orchid  tones.  Her  throat  was  very  fair, 
and  her  arms  exquisitely  rounded,  and  her  little  slippers  were 
of  silver. 

"You — you're  beautiful.  Miss."     Hodge's  voice  quavered. 

"Am  I  really?"  Sylvia  Stanton's  manner,  this  new  worldly 
manner,  softened,  and  her  eyes — that  dull  gentlemen  invariably 
compared  to  Bowers — became  grave. 

Then  Mr.  Merivale  came  bounding  into  the  room,  tucking 
a  gardenia  in  the  lapel  of  his  dinner  jacket. 

"Look  here,  Sylvia  —  " 

"Old  Anthony!"  Again  the  strange  light  danced  in  her 
flower-like  eyes.  "Isn't  it  a  pity  I  sha'n't  ever  be  coming 
here  again?" 

"Wh-what?"     Anthony  halted. 

"Oh,  didn't  I  tell  you?"  said  she  lightly,  "this  is  the  last 
time  I  shall  be  able  to  have  supper  with  you." 

"Why— what— " 

"Don't  take  it  so  hard,  my  dear.  Of  course.  I  hoped  you'd 
be  sorry. " 

"But  I — "  he  stared  at  her  in  great  amazement — "I  don't 
see — " 

"Tony,  I've  been  all  wrong." 

"All  wrong?     About  what?" 

"Life  —  everything.  I've  come  to  the  conclusion  that  I've 
been  too  old-fashioned.  That's  what's  been  the  trouble  with 
me  all  along.     Quiet  girls  are  [  continued  on*  page  8i  I

IF  all  the  girls  in  Hollywood  who  claim  to  be  formei  Ziegfeld 
Follies  beauties  were  placed  toe  to  top-notch  they  would 
reach  from  this  planet  to  Saturn — or  Venus. 
Bui  that  has  absolutely  nothing  to  do  with  this  story,  for 
our  heroine  was  not  a  Follies  beauty. 

And  if  all  the  beauty  contest  winners  that  are  now  in  Holly- 
wood seeking  film  fame  were  placed  instep  to  shingle  bob  they 
would  reach  from  here  to  lVkin.     Which  is  far  enough. 

But  that  has  less  to  do  with  this  story,  for  our  heroine  was 
not  a  beauty  contest  winnei. 

Our  heroine  is  probably  the  only  girl  in  Hollywood  who  won 


Margaret  in  blonde  tresses  in  a  scene  from  "Havoc," 
with  George  O'Brien  as  the  handsome  palm-presser 


a  pie-eating  contest.     And,  moreover,  is  the  only  girl  who 

would  own  up  to  it. 

Which  is  just  a  juicy  way  to  introduce  Miss  Margaret 
Livingston,  pie-eating  champion  of  Sal;  Lake  City,  Utah. 

And  the  spirit  that  prompted  her  to  enter  the  pie-eating 
contest  and  which  brought  her  forth  the  winner,  is  the  same 
spirit  which  will  catapult  her  into  starry  heights  one  of  these 
bright  days. 

Margaret  is  not  particularly  popular  with  women.  Girls  of 
her  type  seldom  are.  She  is  much  more  popular  with  the  male 
sex.  And  that  is  undoubtedly  the  thing  that  forms  the  chasm 
between  herself  and  her  sex.  It  is  not  a  gigantic  abyss,  under 
stand,  but  I'll  wager  that  no  one  has  ever  seen  Margaret  rush 
up  to  a  sister  cinema  star  and  sweetly  osculate  her,  while  she 
burbles  a  remark  oozing  with  nothingness. 

She  is  the  modernists'  delight.  Quite  frank  and  unassuming. 
Utterly  lacking  in  feminine  subterfuges.  And  yet  she  is  essen- 
tially feminine.  She  thoroughly  understands  the  psychology 
of  man — and  she  has  the  philosophy  of  woman. 

MARGARET  can  do  the  most  daring  things — can  make 
the  frankest  comments — and  can  get  away  with  them! 

That  is  the  secret  of  Margaret's  reputation — to  do  the  things 
that  would  seem  quite  beyond  the  pale  of  society's  demands  if 
done  by  a  kittenish  miss  of  Oshkosh.  But  Margaret  does  them 
with  utter  naivete  —  with  a  finesse  of  manner  —  that  they  slip 
by  quite  unobserved,  and.  therefore,  quite  uncondemned.  But 
let  someone  else  attempt  the  same  tricks,  and  alas! 

The  fact  that  she  still  has  the  spirit  of  the  pie-eating  child 
who  won  the  prize  from  a  bunch  of  cast-iron  stomached  boys, 
was  substantiated  when  Margaret  decided  to  become  a  motion 
picture  actress  instead  of  a  stenographer.  It  was  one  of  her 
first  roles  of  any  importance  and  she  was  to  be  a  castaway  on  a 
desert  isle  with  only  the  stalwart  hero,  a  can  of  sardines  and  a 
trusty  and  rusty  rifle  between  a  horde  of  cannibals  and  death. 

She  was  to  be  of  the  clinging  vine  variety  and  was  to  look  to 
her  island  mate  for  protection.  The  time  came  to  take  the 
5<  ene,  the  cannibals  charged,  and  Margaret  clung  to  her  white 
man  for  protection  like  water  to  a  duck's  back — not  at  all! 

She  looked  as  trembling  and  fragile  as  the  Statue  of  Liberty. 
A  healthy  young  Amazon  in  the  pink  (or  would  it  be  brown?) 
of  condition  would  have  been  weak  and  palpitating  compared 
to  Margaret. 

"  You  look  as  if  you  could  defend  the  whole  island,  your  lover 
and  yourself."  the  director  told  her. 

But  that's  just  Margaret.  Independent,  self-reliant,  and 
assured.  That's  why  she  won  the  pie-eating  contest  when  she 
was  eight  years   old.  [  continued  on  page  137  1

Our 


One  and  Only  Great  Actress 


X  c 


'HE  screen  to  date  has  pro- 
duced among  its  stars  only 
one  great  actress. 

That  may  seem  strange, 
but  it  is  true  beyond  question,  as  I 
am  sure  I  can  show  you. 

Understand,  that  when  I  say 
great  actress,  I  mean  just  that.  I 
do  not  mean  fascinating  personal- 
ities, nor  ravishing  beauties.  I 
mean  such  actresses  as  Duse,  Ada 
Rehan,  Mrs.  Fiske,  Ellen  Terry, 
Maude  Adams,  Calve,  Rejane, 
Ristori,  Emily  Stevens,  Kather- 
ine  Cornell  and  Pauline  Lord. 
Bernhardt,  as  all  sound  critics 
know,  was  not  a  great  actress. 
She  was  a  marvelous  personality, 
with  a  great  bag  of  tricks  and  a 
dazzling  abundance  of  vital  force, 
but  she  was  not  a  great  actress. 

Norma  Talmadgc  alone  can 
join  the  illustrious  company  men- 
tioned above.     She  is  the  screen's  one  and  only  great  actress. 

Now,  before  the  adherents  of  Lillian  Gish  and  Gloria  Swan- 
son,  Mary  Pickford  and  Pola  Negri  get  ready  to  do  battle,  let 
us  consider  this  matter.  I  ask  but  a  single  favor — that  they 
read  to  the  end.  I  make  but  one  qualification.  There  is  one 
other  great  actress  in  the  making  among  the  screen  stars — 
Colleen  Moore.  Hut  she  has  not  yet  reached  the  strength  and 
polish  of  her  maturity.  If  she  continues  as  her  past  promises. 
she  should  surpass  them  all. 

Now  I  stand  ready  to  prove  my  point. 

Great  acting  must  always  possess  certain  qualities.  Those 
of  us  who  have  spent  a  great  part  of  our  lives  since  childhood 
in  study  of  the  stage  and  screen,  know  that  without  any  one  of 
them,  it  becomes  merely  good  acting.  Those  of  us  who  were 
fortunate  enough  to  see  Duse  in  her  prime,  hold  that  supreme 
actress  of  all  lime  as  a  standard.  Power,  conviction,  sincerity, 
interpretation,  originality,  illusion,  delicacy,  intelligence,  and 
above  all,  a  complete  sense  of  humanity  ami  the  ability  to  be- 
come the  dramatic  instrument  without  intrucing  self — these 
make  acting  an  art. 

The  great  actress  must  have  versatility.  She  must  be  able 
to  play  anything  within  the  limitations  of  her  sex  and  color.

By  Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns 

It  takes  courage  for  any  writer  of 
national  reputation,  especially  one 
living  in  and  part  of  the  Hollywood 
motion  picture  colony,  to  come  right 
out  with  the  statement  that  any  one 
actress  is  the  only  one  endowed  with 
greatness.  But  if  there  is  any  one 
quality  in  addition  to  her  brilliancy 
that  distinguishes  Adela  Rogers  St. 
Johns,  it  is  her  courage  to  express  her 
opinions.  You  may  disagree  with  her 
but  you  must  acknowledge  her  sin- 
cerity, and  you  must  agree  that  she 
has  presented  a  very  convincing  case. 
JAMES  R.  QUIRK. 


Of  course  we  have  no  compara 
live  performances,  such  as  Ber 
hardt  and  Duse,  playing  Sude 
mann's  "Magda."  against  eact 
other  in  London  in  the  same  week, 
or  as  Farrar  and  Jcritza  following 
each  other  at  the  Metropolitan  as 
Tosca,  or  as  a  dozen  first  class  ac- 
tresses attempting  Camille  and 
Carmen  in  the  same  season. 

But,  can  anyone  question  who 
would  come  out  on  top  if  our  ten 
best  screen  actresses  were  asked 
to  play  a  repertoire  of  Juliet.  Nora 
Helmer  in  "A  Doll's  House."  Iris 
Storm  in  "The  Green  Hat."  Rosa- 
lind,   Pollyanna,    and   the  Sadie 
Thompson  of  "Rain?"    I  ask  you, 
honestly,  is  there  any  actress  on 
the   screen,    except    Norma    Tal- 
madge,  who  could  even  begin  to 
give  a  great  performance  of  all 
these  roles? 
Yet  that  is  a  perfectly  fair  test  for  a  great  actress. 
Personally,  I  am  very  fond  of  the  school  of  fascinating  per- 
sonalities.    I  delight  in  watching  Mae  Murray's  exquisite  and 
extravagant    posing.     I   am    fond   of    Constance   Talmadge's 
merry  fascination.     But  that  is  not  what  we  are  talking  about. 
is  it?     That  is  a  different  thing  entirely.     The  same  qualities 
they  display  also  go  to  make  famous  hostesses  and  popular 
debutante-. 

1  am  a  devotee  of  Mary  Pickford's.  I  have  never  missed 
one  of  her  pictures  since  "The  New  York  Hat."  But  that  is 
because  1  hue  Mary  Pickford.  Her  experience  and  business- 
like competence,  her  infallible  ability  to  lime  and  stroke  a  part 
exactly  right,  her  amazing  knowledge  of  all  departments  of 
motion  picture  making,  keep  her  from  ever  giving  a  bad  per- 
formance and  enable  her  to  give  some  very  excellent  ones.  Her 
mischievousness.  her  wist  fulness,  her  charming  rages  and  brave 
little  sorrows,  all  these  she  presents  with  a  firm,  sure  talent.  It 
takes  a  certain  measure  of  acting  to  display  yourself  to  the  best 
advantage.  This  Miss  Pickford  certainly  does,  and  she  always 
gives  her  best.  There  is  thought  and  work  behind  every  one 
of  her  roles.     But.  again  I  say,  that  is  not  great  acting.

was  in  1919.    Now,  to  the  everlasting  joy  of  moviedom,  they  are  uniting  again  for  a  production 
to  be  filmed  in  the  spring.    This  time  Norma  will  be  simply  "His  Woman"

THIS  Love  child,  since  discovering  the  Charleston,  has  revealed  two  unsuspectedly  perfect  things 
about  her.    Photographed  here  like  a  Degas  etching,  the  story  is  that  Bessie  is  about  to  appear 
in  the  Famous  Players-Lasky  Broadway  production  in  the  role  of  a  dancing  girl

NE  of  the  most  photographically  interesting  women  before  the  camera,  Nazimova  has  always 
been  a  stormy  petrel.    Rumor  now  has  it  that  she  plans  an  early  return  to  the  speaking  stage. 
A  remarkable  actress,  Alia  is  an  even  more  remarkable  personality 


Supposing  It  Were  Your  Daughter? 

An  intimate  dinner  drama  with  a  punch,  m  the  Beverly  Hills 
home  ot  a  famous  movie  authority 


f   l  illK  scene  opens  with  a  Famous  Mo 


lion  Picture  Authority,  whose  iden- 
tity   1  modestly  conceal  as  Mr.   11., 
reading  a  letter  in  bed  from  a  worried 
father  who  wants  to  know  what   would   he  do  if  he  had  .1 
daughter  who  wanted  to  go  into  pictures  like  the  undersigned's, 
with  stamped  addressed  envelope  enclosed  for  replj  before  ii  is 
too  late. 

There  are  several  big  words  in  the  letter  which  the  Famous 
Movie  Authority  can't  spell  out,  so  he  passes  it  to  his  secre 
taries,  who  adjourn  for  a  conference,  promptly  returning  the 
evening  of  the  same  (lay  with  a  full  translation  spelled  as  pro- 
Dounced. 

After  passing  through  the  hands  of  his  various  valets,  mas- 
seurs and  mechanics,  the  Authority  descends  the  stairs  to  1  ho 
dining  hall  of  his  home  in  Beverly  Hills.  (Sec  Signboards  "Aris- 
tocratic Beverly  Hills.  Home  of  Famous  Movie  Stars  Lots  as 
Low  as  $20,000,  A  Hundred  Down  And  They're  Yours!") 

The  Lady  of  the  House  enters  wearing  the  customary 
diamonds  and  the  expensive  perfume  of  thirteen  cocktails. 

The  Daughter  of  the  House  comes  scampering  in.  flushed 
from  a  merry  crap  game  with  the  neighbor  kiddies.  She  play- 
fully kicks  old  Walker  the  butler,  who  gives  her  a  contempt- 
uous look. 

"Daughter,"  says  .Mr.  H.  benevolently.  "I  have  here  a  letter 
from  one  who  is  a  man  and  a  father  even  as  1.  He  wants  a 
serious  question  answered." 

"Well  what's  the  big  idea  in  writing  to  you  then?"  pipes 
Daughter,  who  is  little  more  than  an  infant  and  something  less 
mentally. 

•'Medusa!"  cries  the  Lady  of  the  House.  "Remember  he's 
your  father,  at  least  in  the  eyes  of  the  world."

UGHTER  shudders  slightly  and  braces  herself  with  a  sip 
from  a  glas». 


Mr.  H.  kindly:  "The 
question  which  this  old 
sire  asks  concerns  his 
daughter,  and  requires 
our  serious  deliberation 
and  advice." 

"Why  didn't  he  write 
to  Elinor  Glyn  or 
Michael  Arlen?"  mutters 
Daughter  huskily, 
lighting  a  Fatima  Camel. 

"  Now,  Ba  by,"  re- 
proaches Mr.  H.  "Isn't 
your  old  Dad  worthy  of 
giving  advice  to  stricken 
fathers  as  well  as  Mr. 
Arlen  and  Mile.  Glyn?" 

Thelady  of  the 
House  sniggers  foolishly 
and  winks  at  the  butler, 
who  freezes  her. 

•All  right,  shoot," 
says  Baby.  "But  don't 
be  windy,  and  for  Gos- 
sakes  have  Walker  turn

Ten  years  ago,  this  earnest 
young  Englishman,  named 
Ronald  Colman,  began  his 
career  as  an  actor,  suspecting 
not  that  he  was  to  race  for 
fame  with  a  young  American 
who  had  been  on  the  stage 
from  his  first  living  moment 


Walker  scorn  full}  obliges  and  get  s  Charlie 
Chaplin's  latcsl  own  composition  which  is 
being   played    at    Coroanul    Grove    to   the 
muled  horror  of  the  co<  oanuts. 
"The  question  1  want  to  a>k  you.  Medusa  baby,  cono

girl  and  have  completed  your  education  so  that  you  can 
'  1  love  you  '  in  all  languages,  whal  would  you  like  to  l»    " 
"A  hired  girl."  replies  Baby  promptly. 
"  \  maid,"  corrects  Mother  with  a  wild  glance  to  sec  if  the 
windows  are  closed.     "Remember  we're  living  in  fashionable 
Beverly  Hills." 
"  \  hind  girl  in  Beverly  Hills."  insists  Baby  stubbornly. 
'  Vbu  say  maid  or  I'll  bounce  a  plate  a(  you,"  whams  the 
Lady  who  is  her  Mother. 
"No,  you  won't,  old  dear."  bellows  Baby.   "They  cost  nine 

ninety-eight    at    Barker    Bros.    Removal    sale    and    you    ham- 

burgered  both  your  dogs  getting  them." 
"  Medusa!"  intones  Papa  sternly.    "You  are  speaking  to  the 

woman  who  is  your  mot  In  1 ." 

THE  woman  who  bore  her  and  is  about  to  execute  same,  lays 
down  plate  a  little  mollified  but  retains  her  knife. 
"  'A  Hired  Girl'  1  said."  shrills  Baby. 
"  Maid!"  screams  Mama,  seizing  plate. 

"Shut-Up!"  booms  Mr.  H.  paternally  above  the  din.  "The 
neighbors  will  hear  you." 

"Well,  I  guess  they  can  stand  it,  they've  heard  Tola  Negri," 
gongs  Infant  through  the  traffic. 

At  this  point  the  windows  arc  shattered,  and  the  beautiful

The  frBaby"  Wampas  Stars  of  1926 


Vera  Reynolds  needs  no  intro- 
duction to  picture-goers.  They 
will  recall  her  in  "Icebound" 
and  later  in  several  DeMille  pic- 
tures, the  most  recent  of  which 
is  "The  Road  to  Yesterday." 
Vera  is  a  piquant  brunette  with 
brown   eyes   and   pensive   smile 


Mary  Astor  is  a  russet-haired 
beauty  with  brown  eyes.  She 
played  with  Barrymore  in  "Beau 
Brummel,"  and  is  again  his  lead- 
ing lady  in  "Don  Juan."  You  also 
saw  her  in  "Don  Q."  Mary's  deli- 
cate beauty  is  ideally  suited  to  old- 
world  romance 


Kentucky  is  represented  by 
fluffy-haired  Joyce  Compton.  a 
new  addition  to  Hollywood's 
beauty  barrage.  Her  first  part 
of  any  importance  was  in  "What 
Fools  Men."  First  National, 
with  whom  she  is  under  con- 
tract, plans  big  things   for   her 


IT'S  a  great  honor — being  chosen  one 
of  the  lucky  thirteen.  It  means 
that  one  hundred  enterprising  pub- 
licit}'  men  of  the  films  believe  you 
have  possibilities  of  becoming  a  star.  It 
means  parties,  honors,  publicity  and 
boosting.  And  a  formal  introduction  to 
a  few  thousands  of  "your  public  "  at  the 
annual  Wampas  Frolic. 

On  this  night  of  nights  the  Thirteen, 
marcelecl,  manicured  and  exquisitely 
gowned,  step  one  by  on<-  horn  Cinder- 
ella's Coach  on  the  stage  to  make  a  timid 
bow  before  the  inquisitive  throng  who 
want  "to  see  what  they're  like." 

Each  year  the  Western  Association  of 
Motion  Picture  Advertisers,  popularly 
known  as  the  Wampas,  gets  behind 
thirteen  promising  sub-debs  and  gives 
them  the  help  and  encouragement  that 
is  so  necessary  to  their  advancement. 
The  value  of  this  recognition  and  assist- 
ance is  admitted  whole-heartedly  by 
Colleen  Moore,  Lois  Wilson,  Claire 
Windsor,  Bessie  Love,  Patsy  Ruth  Mil- 
ler, Mary  Philbin,  Dorothy  Mackaill, 
Clara  Bow,  Lillian  Rich,  Dorothy  De- 
vorc.  Alberta  Vaughn  and  Evelyn  Brent 
— all  of  whom  have  been  Wampas  stars. 

This  year's  bouquet  of  beauty  in- 
cludes Mary  Brian,  Mary  Astor  and 
Vera  Reynolds,  whom  you  already  know 
slightly.  Mary  Brian's  unforgettable 
Wendy  of  "  Peter  Pan"  gave  her  a  run- 
ning starl  along  the  road  to  fame.  She 
represents  the  sweet,  old-fashioned  in- 
nocence of  the  teens,  and  has  that  field 
almost  to  herself.     She's  from  Texas. 

Vera  Reynolds  proved  her  right  to 
recognition  by  her  good  work  in  "The 
Road  lo  VTesterday."  Miss  Reynolds 
has  been  in  pictures  for  some  time  and 
has  had  one  or  two  good  parts.  But  she 
is  just  as  anxious  lo  be  a  Wampas  star 
as  the  veriest  newcomer.  With  this 
distinction  and  her  Cecil  DeMille  con- 
Co" 


Joan  Crawford,  known  on  the 
musical  comedy  stage  as  Lucille 
Le  Sueur,  has  glorious  auburn 
hair  and  ha:el  eyes.  You  will 
see  her  in  Harry  Langdon's  first 
feature  length  picture 


Fclna  Marian  is  about  as  big  as  a 
minute,  blonde  with  blue  eyes 
and  an  engaging  personalitj . 
She  is  a  Century  funmaker, 
beit  her  dramatic  ability  has 
been    proved   in    a    serious  film 


tract.  Vera's  future  seems  assured. 
Richmond.  Virginia,  is  her  birthplace. 

In  "Beau  Brummel"  and  "Don  Q," 
you  saw  the  old  world  romantic  beauty 
of  Mary  Astor.  Folks  say  she  has  the 
perfect  feminine  profile  of  the  screen.  It 
is  not  strange  then  that  John  Barry- 
more  has  chosen  her  again  for  his  lead- 
ing lady  in  "Don  Juan."  Mary  Astor 
begins  a  new  year  rich  with  promise. 
She  is  a  Quincy,  111.,  girl. 

Sally  O'Neill  and  Joan  Crawford  are 
the  Mary  and  Irene  of  Metro-Cold wyn's 
"Sally,  Irene  and  Mary,"  just  recently 
released.  Each  of  these  newcomers 
scored  a  distinct  hit  in  this  new  picture. 
Sally  O'Neill. who  was  born — and  should 
have  remained — Chotsy  Xoonan.  has 
one  of  the  most  vivid  personalities  to 
come  to  the  screen  in  some  time.  Jersey 
City  is  her  birthplace. 

Joan  Crawford  is  beautiful  and  intel- 
ligent and  intensely  feminine.  Another 
Texas  girl. 

Dolores  Costello  is  one  of  the  Costellos 
— old  motion  pi  c  t  u  r  e  aristocracy. 
Maurice  has  retired  from  the  screen. 
but  his  clan  goes  marching  on.  Dolores 
was  born  in  New  York  City.  She.  too. 
will  be  seen  in  one  of  the  important 
feminine  roles  in  John  Barrymore's 
•'  Don  Juan." 

Dolores  Del  Rio  is  the  Mexican 
beauty,  society  girl,  whom  Edwin  Car- 
ewe  met  in  Mexico  City  and  persuaded 
to  come  to  Hollywood  and  pictures. 
Senorita  Del  Rio  makes  her  screen  debut 
as  a  vamp  in  Carewc's  picture  "Joanna" 
with  Dorothy  Mackaill. 

Joyce  Compton.  of  Kentucky,  Mar- 
celine  Day  oi  Denver,  Fay  Wray  of 
Canada,  Janet  Gay  nor,  of  California. 
Sally  Long,  of  Kansas  City,  and  Edna 
Marian,  are  new  names — to  be  conjured 
with.  Now  if  these  thirteen  can  deliver 
the  knockout  blow,  the  world  is  theirs. 


The  Annual  Bouquet  of  Promise 


Janet  Gaynor  reminds  one  of 
"the  kind  of  girl  mother  used  to 
be."  Sweet  and  unaffected  with 
softly  curling  hair  and  frank 
brown  eyes.  Janet  has  not  been 
long  in  pictures  and  is  playing 
in  "The  Johnstown  Flood" 


Mareeline  Day  is  the  type  of  girl 
who  drives  strong  men  to  poetry. 
A  profusion  of  dark  curls,  blue  eyes 
and  an  adorable  smile  won  her 
featured  roles  after  two  years' 
work  as  an  extra.  She  will  be 
glimpsed  in  "The  Barrier" 


Sails  Long  is  a  beauty  from  one 
of  Broadway's  best  shows.  It  is 
said  she  inspired  the  song,  "I 
Wonder  What's  Become  of 
Sally."  If  you  are  wondering — 
she  has  been  playing  in  the 
Belasco    show   "Fifth    Avenue" 


Wendy  of  "Peter  Pan"  fame  is 
now  a  Wampas  star.  Little 
Mary  Brian  of  the  long  brown 
hair  and  bright  blue  eyes  came 
from  Texas.  She  is  still  in  her 
teens,  and  her  screen  future  is 
very  promising 


Sally  O'Neill  is  the  cute  little  rascal 
who  made  such  a  hit  as  Mary  in 
"Sally,  Irene  and  Mary."  Her  real 
name  is  Chotsy  Noonan — and  they 
handed  her  "Sally  O'Neill,"  Chotsy 
is  as  Irish  as  her  name,  with  blue 
eyes  and  golden-brown  hair 


Canada  is  represented  by  Fay 
Wray,  who  has  appeared  in  nu- 
merous comedies  and  is  now 
having  her  first  dramatic  ex- 
perience in  westerns.  Fay  is 
another  girl  who  was  reluctant 
with  the  shears 


Delores  Costello,  daughter  of 
Maurice,  is  fast  following  in  her 
famous  daddy's  footsteps.  Musi- 
cal comedy  brought  her  to  the 
screen  where  she  recently  played 
with  John  Barrymore  in  "The 
Sea  Beast."  Her  coloring  is  fair 
and  her  hair,  you  shingled 
dears,  is  long! 


Daughter  of  a  distinguished 
Mexican  family  is  Delores  del 
Rio.  A  typical  Castillian 
Beauty  .  .  .  and  a  dancer  of 
remarkable  grace.  Edwin 
Carewe  persuaded  her  to  leave 
the  social  life  of  Mexico  City 
for  Hollywood.  She  has  ap- 
peared in  several  of  his  films

The  Correct  Way  to  Han 


Here  are  pictures  correctly 
hung  in  relationship  to  one 
another  and  to  the  atmos- 
phere of  the  room  they  orna- 
ment. This  is  an  English 
living  room  from  "The  Little 
French  Girl" 


MIRRORS  arc  as  full 
of  charm  as  a  mys- 
terious woman's  eyes. 
To  a  room  mirrors 
bring  light  and  depth  and 
shadows.  They  increase  its 
size.  Just  as  gold  blonds  per- 
fectly with  any  color,  so  docs  a 
mirror  blend  perfectly  with  the 
atmosphere  of  any  room.  1 
know  of  no  room  in  which  a 
mirror  may  not  be  used  advan- 
tageously, and  I  know  of  no 
person,  male  or  female,  who 
won't  take  advantage  of  a  mir- 
ror so  placed. 

From  which  statements  you 
may  surmise  that  I  am  enthusi- 
astic about  mirrors,  lam.  The 
only  reason  you  do  not  see 
more  of  them  in   the  sellings 

which  1  design  for  the  movies  is  because  minors  pick  up  the 
lights  and  have  a  fatal  tendency  to  flash  them  into  camera 
range.  1  use  mirrors,  however,  whenever  1  can  and  in  the 
accompanying  photographs  you  will  see  how  I  hang  them  to 
he  both  decorative  and  useful. 

In  fail,  for  the  home  where  money  is  limited  and  a  choice 
must  be  made  between  the  two,  I  would  recommend  the  pur- 
chase of  a  decorative  mirror  rather  than  a  picture.  Pictures 
are  simply  things  of  beauty.  They  do  not  combine  practicality 
with  their  beauty,  unless  one  uses  them  to  cover  spots  on  the 
wall  paper.  A  picture  is  a  bit  of  framed  color  that  acts  as  a 
stimulus  to  the  tired  imagination.  It  has  only  that  purpose, 
excellent  as  it  is.     The  mirror  has  a  do/en. 

In  the  decorative  scheme,  pictures  and  mirrors  should  be 
treated  similarly.  The  picture  must  have  proper  lighting,  of 
course.  The  mirror  will  lit  itself  in  anywhere.  Hut  in  general 
hanging,  mirrors  and  pictures  arc  one  and  the  same.

The  fourth  of  a  series 
on  how  to  use  the 
motion  picture  to 
suggest  furnishings  in 
your  home 


In  "The  American  Venus"  the  typical 
hotel  hallway  has  been  made  attrac- 
tive by  an  interesting  furniture  group- 
ing in  which  the  mirror  holds  central 
place.  The  detached  mirror  is  the 
onlv  one  in  correct  taste  todav 


You  can  see  this  influence  at 
work  in  the  size  of  the  mirrors 
now  sold.  In  the  Victorian 
era.  the  so-called  pier  glass  was 
the  thing.  And  what  a  thing 
it  was!  It  stood  between  the 
front  parlor  windows,  and  fre- 
quently between  the  back  par- 
lor windows,  too,  occupying 
the  entire  space  and  rising  from 
floor  to  ceiling.  Xot  content 
with  those,  the  Victorian  par- 
lors often  had  another  giant 
mirror  over  the  mantelpiece, 
tipped  away  from  the  wall,  so 
that  no  corner  of  the  whole 
room  was  safe  from  its  glare. 

Such  mirrors  have  now  dis- 
appeared from  smart  modern 
houses.  The  immediate  reac- 
tion to  them  was  when  the 
miiror  got  pushed  out  of  the 
parlor  into  the  bedroom  and 
dining  room.  There  were 
several  years  when  mirrors 
were  used  only  in  bureaus  and 
sideboards  or  built  directly 
into  the  house.  This  has  all 
changed  now  and  the  looking- 
glass  has  emerged  as  an  in- 
dividual piece,  as  distinctive  in 
its  way  as  a  tine  chair  or  a 
family     portrait. 

In  buying  your  mirrors. 
adapt  them  to  the  room  in 
which  they  are  lo  hang.  There  are  mirror  and  picture  frames 
in  every  period  now  from  early  Jacobean  to  late  Grand  Rapids. 
They  come  in  all  colors  as  a  relief  from  the  standard  gilt. 
Mirrors  are  now  combined  with  colored  glass  or  delicately 
etched  in  place  of  the  familiar  beveling.  As  a  whole,  frames  are 
generally  plainer  and  colored  glass  is  more  generally  used  today 
in  the  smartest  interiors.  In  every  instance,  detached  mirrors 
are  better  than  those  attached  to  furniture,  as  in  the  case  of 
bureau  or  dressing  table. 

The  mirror  in  the  sideboard  has  gone — as  has  the  sideboard — 
and  the  mirror  hung  over  the  buffet.  Except  when  used  under 
flowers  as  a  centerpiece  for  the  dinner  table,  the  mirror  is  "out" 
as  far  as  the  dining  room  is  concerned. 

Put  a  mirror  in  a  narrow  hall  to  widen  it.  Don't  hang  it  down 
to  the  floor.  People  will  constantly  walk  into  it,  if  you  do.  The 
best  rule  for  hanging  mirrors  is  to  keep  them  on  the  eye  level. 
First  and  foremost,  a  mirror  is  to  be  looked  into! 


Mirrors  and  Pictures 


By  ( 'harles  D.  Chapman 

.hi  I  hn.  tor,  I  astern  Vdramount  Studios 


This  sot  from  "Salome  of 

the  IVncments"  shows 
pictures   and    mirrors 

worked  Into  the  same 
decorative  scheme,  Pic- 
t urea  not  similar  In  size 
must  hang  W  Ith  tin-  bot- 
tom lines  parallel.  Mir- 
rors lighten  dark  corners 


Small   pictures   such   as 
these  hunting  scenes 

u soil  In  "That  Royle 
Girl"  (below)  must  al- 
ways be  hung  with  the 
cor d s  concealed.  In 
placing  a  minor  or  pic- 
ture above  a  small  table, 
break  up  the  space  into 
units  of  three  as  done 
here  with  console,  flowers 
and  the  picture.  Simple 
frames  are  best 


The  next  rule  for  hanging  them,  and  this  applies  likewise  to 
pictures,  is  to  balance  them  with  the  furniture  near  which  they 
are  to  be.  In  hanging  two  or  more  objects  together,  two 
pictures,  for  instance,  or  a  mirror  and  picture,  let  the  space 
between  them  be  less  than  the  width  of  each.  If  they  do  not 
balance  in  height,  hang  them  so  that  the  bottoms  will  be  on  the 
same  line.  In  the  English  living  room  set  in  the  upper  left 
corner  of  page  68,  you  see  an  example  of  this  ruling.  Not  only 
are  the  pictures  hung  in  relationship  to  one  another,  but  they 
are  also  balanced  to  harmonize  with  the  high  paneling  of  the 
walls  and  the  low-hanging  ceiling  beams. 

In  placing  either  pictures  or 
mirrors,  it  is  best  to  show  the 
cords  on  the  heavier  type,  and  to 
conceal  them  on  lighter  ones. 
This  does  away  with  the  feeling 
of  agonized  suspense  you  have 
on  seeing  a  huge  frame  with  no 
visible  means  of  support,  and  in 
the  case  of  the  smaller  frames, 
keeps  them  from  being  over- 
balanced. Always  use  two  cords 
where  you  let  them  be  seen. 
Wire  is  practically  never  used 
any  more. 


'  |  'HIS  series  of  articles  on  home  fur- 
-*-  nishing  is  designed  to  enable  Ameri- 
can home  managers  to  take  advantage 
of  the  experience  and  ability  of  our 
greatest  authorities  on  home  decora- 
tion. Next  month  Photoplay  will  advise 
you  on  exactly  what  makes  a  "period" 
room  and  how  to  get  it  that  way. 


In  the  living  room  set  from  "Salome  of 
the  Tenements,"  note  how  I  hung  three 
pictures  and  a  mirror  to  balance  with  the 
furniture.  On  the  lower  wall  are  two 
pictures  hung  over  a  pair  of  antique  com- 
modes. In  relationship  to  those  commodes, 
the  pictures  are  hung  too  high.  The  pair  of 
Mi  vases  on  the  commodes  are  the  answer  to 

jM  that.     The  vases  are  chosen  to  balance  the 

height  of  the  commodes,  the  pictures  hung 
to  key  in  with  the  vases.  Thus  you  get  a 
correct  group  done  on  the  Greek  principle 
of  dividing  space  into  three  units.  These 
two  groups  are  balanced  on  either  side  of 
the  doorway,  making  an  attractive  corner 
to  the  room. 

Looking  into  the  library  you  will  observe 
a  single  portrait  hung  in  the  paneled  space- 
above  the  bookcase.  Not  only  does  the 
pprtrait  balance  that  space,  but  it  also  correctly  tills  in  the 
space  between  the  door  hangings.  As  three  steps  in  height 
relationship  see  how  the  picture  is  balanced  in  height  above  the 
library  lamp,  as  that  is  balanced  above'  the  low  bowl  of  flowers 
in  the  living  room. 

A  mirror  is  hung  over  the  living  room  fireplace  with  two 
candlesticks  on  either  side  to  complete  the  group.  I  put  a 
mirror  in  that  space,  rather  than  a  picture,  because  the  surface 
was  a  dark  one  that  was  bettered  by  the  addition  of  the  light 
and  depth  a  mirror  gives. 

Another  example  of  the  same  principle  is  shown  in  the  hall- 
way from  "The  American 
Venus."  Here,  first  of  all,  was  a 
door  and  a  wall  sconce  to  be 
worked  into  the  decorative 
scheme.  They  couldn't  be  al- 
tered, so  the  furniture  had  to  be 
placed  to  make  them  assets. 
Accordingly,  the  back  of  the 
chair  is  a  third  higher  than 
the  china  upon  the  commode. 
The  top  of  the  commode  is  in  the 
same  proportion  above  the  seat 
of  the  chair.  The  mirror  is  hung

Arlen 

Eyebrows 

Hollywood 


So  great  a  literary  sensation 

that  he  receives  $2.50  for 

every  word  he  writes, 

Michael  Arlen  has  wasted  not  a 

one  to  express  his  opinion 

of  Hollywood.    His  eyebrows, 

however,  have  said  a  mouthful 

By  Harriet  Shearing 


EYEBROWS  are  really  very  interesting,  you 
know.  They  often  denote  character  more 
readily  than  does  a  face. 
There  is  the  eyebrow  that  overhangs  a  bale- 
fid  eye  like  a  wet  eave  on  a  rainy  night.  Constant 
scowling  and  wrinkling  of  the  forehead  has  given  it 
a  downcast  look.    A  nasty  brow. 

Too,  there  is  the  plucked  brow  of  the  lady  who  would  hide 
her  true  character  from  the  world.  A  plucked  eyebrow  denotes 
nothing  but  a  vapid  expression  and  very  little  of  that.  An 
imbecilic  brow. 

There  is  also  the  eyebrow  Jike  a  swallow's  wing.  A  smooth 
sweep  like  the  outline  of  a  bird's  wing.    A  placid  brow. 

And  then  there  is  Michael  Arlcn's  eyebrow. 

Quite  the  most  unique  eyebrow  in  Hollywood. 

It's  the  left  that  is  so  fascinating. 

It  plumes  his  forehead  like  an  arrogant  feather  —  and  the 
other  is  passively  indifferent  to  its  mate. 

Hut  I  want  to  tell  you  about  Michael  Arlen — not  his  unruly 
eyebrow.  He  has  probably  done  more  to  establish  Webster's 
Unabridged  Dictionary  in  Hollywood  than  any  other  one 
individual,  lie  has,  with  the  tremendous  sale  of  his  books, 
done  more  for  the  words  "subtle"  and  "sophisticated"  than 
even  Charlie  did  with  his  delightful  "Woman  of  Paris"  or 
Lubitsch  and  his  ".Marriage  Circle." 

[f  Arlen  had  the  royalty  of  a  penny  on  every  time  the  word 
"subtle"  is  used  in  describing  "The  Green  Hat,"  he  would  add 
another  million  to  the  million  and  a  half  that  he  is  reputed  lo 
have  in  the  bank. 

Many  a  movie  star,  in  searching  for  the  right  word  to  laud  his 
novel  of  the  colored  lid,  gropes  madly  about  for  a  moment  and 
(dines  to  the  top  with  the  poor  little  exhausted  "subtle"  drip- 
ping in  her  grasp; 

And  consider  the  green  hat  trade.  There  are  more  green  felt 
hats  to  the  table  at  the  Montmartre  Cafe  where  Arlen  lunches 
— one  day  with  belie  and  the  next  with  Alice  Terry — than 
there  are  Essexes  to  the  city  block.  And  there  are  plenty  of 
the  latter. 

Fat  ladies,  lean  ladies,  sallow  ladies  and  florid  ladies  gaily 
plop  down  the  aisle  hatted  in  felts  ranging  in  shade  from  pea  to 
olive.     \nd   Aden's  eyebrow  plumes  higher. 

but.  praise  be  lo  the  gloriously  unconventional  memory  of 


With  mocking  eyes,  worldly-wise  ways  and   "The  Green 
Hat"  as  a  glowing  background,  Michael  Arlen,  of  Arme- 
nian   birth,    has    become    Hollywood's    idol  ...   of    the 
moment ! 


Iris  Storm,  none  of  the  ladies'  locks  have  learned  that  "formal 
dance"  that  Iris'  tresses  were  trained  to  do  beneath  her 
"bravely  worn  green  hat."  Apparently  our  lovely  women  have 
discovered  that  "formal  dances"  of  the  hair  are  much  harder  to 
acquire  than  mere  Charlestoning  of  the  feet. 

Now.  really,  to  tell  about  Arlen  is  to  tell  about  an 
actor.  He  is  as  great  an  actor — in  his  literary  way — as  is 
Charles  Chaplin.  And  nearly  as  romantic  as  Ronald  Colman. 
He  is  small  and  dapper  and  lias  russet-colored  hair — with  just 
a  pleasant  suggestion  of  a  wave.  He  wears  charming  manners 
and  a  double-breasted  vest.  A  neat  russet-colored  mustache 
and  mocking  eyes. 

And,  of  course,  the  eyebrow. 

He  is  twenty-eight  years  old  and  next  month  will  be  twenty- 
nine.  He  was  born  in  Armenia  and  his  name  is  no  more 
Michael  Arlen  than  mine  is  Haidi  Vandervoorten.  It  is  a  long 
name — his  surname — and  comprises  most  of  the  alphabet .  But 
Michael  Arlen  is  much  more  euphonious — and.  too,  it  saves 
type. 

When  he  was  sixteen  years  old  ho  went  to  London  and  there 
became  a  reporter.  He  knows  about  the  Limehouse  and  alsc 
about  May  Fair,  lie  admits  having  known  a  young  woman  who 
is  something  like  Iris  Storm.  And  she  wore  a  green  hat.  And 
one  linn-  he  attended  a  midnight  bathing  party  in  the  Thames. 

So  you  see  he  is  fully  qualified  to  weave  a  story  like  "The 
Green  Hat." 

I  have  said  he  was  like  an  actor,  lie  is.  He  has  a  bit  of  the 
infantile  pathos  of  Jackie  Coogan,  a  bit  of  the  boyishness  of 
Pick  Barthelmess,  a  bit  o\  the  suaveness  of  Adolphe  Menjou.  a 
hit  of  the  business  acumen  of  Conway  Tearle.  who  puts  his 
money  in  properties,     but  the  whole  is  the  charm  of  Arlen. 

He  is  a  bachelor  of  choice,  by  the  grace  of  God.  and  being 
thus  unattached  it  is  Hollywood's  will  to  have  him  engaged 
daily,  excepting  Sundays,  to  a  different  fair  film  belle.  And  if 
he  lunches  twice  in  the  week  with         [ coxtixved  ox  tage  130)

ANNE  MORGAN  is  unique  among  the 
.  women  ot  America.  Born  to  unlimited 
wealth  and  unequaled  rank,  possessing  the 
organizing  ability  ot  her  father,  that  great 
financial  genius,  J.  Pierpont  Morgan,  she  has 
dedicated  her  life  to  great  achievements  for 
humanity. 

Miss  Morgan's  greatest  interest  is  the  wel- 
fare of  other  women.  And  because  she  believes 
that  the  business  women  ot  America  are  on  the 
highroad  to  success  she  is  investing  her  faith 
and  energy  in  their  behalf. 

She  knows  that  their  lasting  success  will 
result  from  well-balanced  living  that  has  made 
no  sacrifice  of  womanliness  and  charm.  And 
she  knows  that  they  believe  this,  too.  So  in 
planning  the  equipment  of  their  new  Club 
House,  she  thinks  even  of  the  details  that  will 
accord  with  their  personal  tastes  and  contrib- 
ute to  their  more  attractive  appearance.  Know- 
ing that  so  many  achieve  a  clear  and  vigorous 
complexion  by  following  the  Pond's  Method, 
Miss  Morgan  declares,  "  I  should  like  to  see  the 
dressing  rooms  equipped  with  Pond's  Two 
Creams." 

The  first  step  in  the  Pond's  Method  of  caring 
for  the  skin  is  a  deep  thorough  cleansing  with 
Pond's  Cold  Cream.  Every  day,  always  after 
any  exposure,  and  before  retiring  at  night, 
smooth  Pond's  Cold  Cream  lavishly  over  your 
face,   neck,    arms   and    hands.    Let   its   pure 


oils  bring  to  the  surface  the  dust  and  powder 
and  excess  oil.  Wipe  off  all  the  cream  and  dirt. 
Repeat  the  process  and  finish  with  a  dash  ol 
cold  water  or  a  rub  with  ice.  Now  look  at  your 
skin— as  fresh  as  a  new-blown  rose! 

The  second  step  is  a  soft  finish  and  protection 
with  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream.  Fluff  on  just 
the  least  bit  of  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream.  Now 
see  how  soft  and  even  the  surface  ot  your  skin 
is — how  transparently  lovely.  Notice  how  well 
this  cream  takes  your  powder— holds  it  long 
and  evenly— and  how  it  protects  you  trom 
wind,  sun  and  dust! 

Pond's  Cold  Cream  comes  in  extra  large  jars 
now.  And  both  creams  in  two  smaller  sizes  of 
jars  and  in  tubes.  ThePond's  Extract  Company.

They  conquered  constipation, 
corrected  skin  and  stomach 
disorders,  renewed  youthful 
optimism  . . . 

with  the  aid  of  One  Food 

NOT  a  "cure-all,"  not  a  medicine  in 
any  sense — Fleischmann's  Yeast 
is  simply  a  remarkable  fresh  food. 

The  millions  of  tiny  active  yeast 
plants  in  every  cake  invigoratethe  whole 

system.  They  aid  digestion — clear  the 
skin — banish  the  poisons  of  consti- 
pation. Where  cathartics  give  only 
temporary  relief,  yeast  strengthens  the 
intestinal  muscles  and  makes  them 
healthy  and  active.  And  day  by  day 
it  releases  new  stores  of  energy. 

Eat  two  or  three  cakes  regularly  every 
day  before  meals:  on  crackers — in  fruit 
juices  or  milk — or  just  plain.  For  con- 
stipation* especially,  dissolve  one  cake  in 
hot  vatcr  {not  scalding)  before  break- 
fast and  at  bedtime.  Buy  several  cakes 
at  a  time — they  will  keep  fresh  in  a  cool 
dry  place  for  two  or  three  days.  All 
grocers  have  Fleischmann's  Yeast.  Start 
eating  it  today!

"  I  was  afflicted  with  chronic  constipation  for 
sixteen  years,  lour  years  ago,  I  had  a  position  in 
a  hospital.  My  attention  was  drawn  to  a  lecture 
given  by  a  doctor  who  spoke  on  Constipation  and 
advised  as  a  cure  Fleischmann's  1  east,  together 
with  other  proper  foods.  I  did  not  believe  that 
those  small  cakes  could  help  my  case  any.  But  on 
my  way  home,  I  went  into  a  grocery  and  asked 
for  Yeast.  After  I  had  taken  theYeast  for  a  ]• 
of  three  weeks,  my  condition  improved  remark- 
ably. My  outward  appearance  had  a  decided 
change  for  the  better,  and  I  still  continue  to  take 
my  Fleischmann's  Yeast."

You,  yourself,  rarely  know 
u  hen  j  ou  have  halitosis  (unpleas- 
ant breath).  That's  the  insidious 
iliing  about  it.  And  even  your 
closest  friends  won't  tell  you. 

Sometimes,  ol  course,  halitosis 

COmes  trom  some  deep-seated  or- 
ganic disorder  that  requires  pro- 
ma!  advice.  But  usually  — 
and  fortunately — halitosis  is  only 
a  local  condition  that  yields  to 
the  regular  use  of  I.isterine  as  a 
mouth  wash  and  gargle.  It  puts 
you  on  the  safe  and  polite 
side.  Moreover,  in  using  Lis- 
terine  to  combat  halitosis, 
you  are  quite  sure  to  avoid 
sore  throat  and  those  more 
serious  illnesses  that  start 
with  throat  infections. 

Listerine  halts  food  fermenta- 
tion in  the  mouth  and  leaves  the 
breath  sweet,  fresh  ami  clean. 
Not  by  substituting  some  other 
odor  but  by  really  removing  the 
old  one.  The  Listerine  odor  itself 
quickly  disappears. 

This  safe  and  long-trusted  an- 
tiseptic has  dozens  ot  different 
uses;  note  the  little  circular  that 
comes  with  every  bottle.  Your 
druggist  sells  Listerine  in  the 
original  brown  package  only  — 
never  in  bulk.  There  are  four 
sizes:  14  ounce,  7  ounce,  ,3  ounce 
and  \)i  ounce.  Buy  the  large  size 
for  economy. — Lambert  Pharma-

care  that  has  brought  the  charm 
of  natural  loveliness  to  millions 


COCONUT 
PALM  TREE 


Soap  from  Trees 

The  only  oils  in  Palmolive 
Soap  are  the  priceless  beauty 
oils  from  these  three  trees  — 
pictured  above — and  no  other 
fats  whatsoever. 

That  is  why  Palmolive  Soap 
is  the  natural  color  that  it  is 
— for  palm  and  olive  oils, 
nothing  else,  give  Palmolive 
its  green  color. 


OLIVE  TREE 

THE  art  of  being  beautiful  today  is  simply 
the  secret  of  keeping  natural  beauty. 

Women  have  learned  that  gentle,  common- 
sense  care  is  far  more  potent  than  the  most 
involved  of  beauty  methods.  For  Youth  is 
thus  retained. 

Keeping  the  skin  clean  is  the  secret. 
Doing  this  with  pure  soap  .  .  .  with  soap 
made  for  ONE  purpose  only,  to  safeguard 
good  complexions  ...  is  the  important  part 
to  remember. 

So,  more  and  more,  thousands  turn  to 
Palmolive  ...  a  soap  that  is  kind  to  the 
skin,  a  soap  made  with  beautiful  complexions 
always  in  mind. 

The  rule  to  follow  if  guarding  a  good 
complexion  is  your  goal 

Wash  your  face  with  soothing  Palmolive. 
Massage  it  gently  into  the  skin.  Rinse  thor- 
oughly. Then  repeat  both  the  washing 
and  rinsing.  Let  the  final  rinsing  be 
with  cold  water.  If  your  skin  is 
inclined  to  dryness,  apply  a  touch  of 


good  cold  cream — that  is  all.  Do  this  regu- 
larly, and  particularly  before  retiring. 

Use  powder  and  rouge  if  you  wish.  But 
never  leave  them  on  over  night.  If  you  do, 
they  clog  the  pores,  often  enlarge  them. 
Blackheads  and  disfigurements  often  follow. 
They  must  be  washed  away. 

Sallow,  unattractive  skin  no  longer 
excusable 

Thus  in  a  simple  manner,  millions  since 
the  days  of  Cleopatra  have  found  beaury 
and  charm. 

No  medicaments  are  necessary.  Just  re- 
move the  day's  accumulations  of  dirt,  oil 
and  perspiration,  cleanse  the  pores,  and 
nature  will  be  kind  to  you.  Your  skin  will 
be  of  fine  texture.  Your  color  will  be  good. 
Wrinkles  will  not  be  the  problem  as  the 
years  advance. 

Avoid  this  mistake 

Do  nor  use  ordinary  soaps  in  the  treat- 
ment given  above.  Do  not  think  any  green, 
soap,  or  represented  as  of  palm  and  olive 
oils,  is  the  same  as  Palmolive. 

And  it  costs  but  10c  the  cake!  Obtain  a 
cake  today.  Note  the  difference  just  one 
week  makes.

306: 


When  it's  a  perfect  winter  day- 

and  you've  just  returned  from  a 

tramp  in  the  crisp  country  air 

—  ewhen  you  come  in  and 

find  the  crackling  fire 

awaiting  you 

—  have  a  Camel! 


Into  the  making  of  this  one  cigarette  goes  all  of  the  ability  of  the 
world's  largest  organization  of  expert  tobacco  men.  Nothing  is  too 
good  for  Camels.  The  choicest  Turkish  and  domestic  tobaccos.  The 
most  skilful  blenders.  The  most  scientific  package.  No  other  ciga- 
rette made  is  like  Camels.  No  better  cigarette  can  be  made.  Camels 
are  the  overwhelming  choice  of  experienced  smokers. 


WHEN  it's  late  winter  after- 
noon. And  you've  just  re- 
turned with  your  dogs  from 
a  ramble  over  the  hills. 
When  you  come  inside  to 
your  friendly  fire — have  a 
Camel! 

For  no  other  smoke- 
friend  brings  back  so  much 
cheer  and  comfort  to  your 
fireside  as  Camel.  No  other 
cigarette  in  the  world  is  wel- 
comed in  so  many  homes. 
Camels  are  so  skilfully 
blended  that  they  never 
tire  the  taste,  or  leave  a 
cigaretty  after-taste.  There's 
not  another  cigarette  made, 
regardless  of  price,  that  con- 
tains choicer  tobaccos  than 
those  rolled  into  Camels. 

So,  on  this  day,  as  you 
start  your  favorite  stroll 
along  the  sun-lit  hills.  As 
you  return  and  come  in  to 
the  welcome  of  your  spar- 
kling fire,  joyfully  know  the 
mellowest  fragrance  that 
eve-r  came  from  a  cigarette. 

Have  a  Camel!

A  Promising  Young  Actress 


out  of  date  Tlic  world  has  i  hanged,  and  the 
modern  Cinderella  w  lu>  sits  at  home  by  the  fire 
— is  left  sitting  there,  because  Prince  Charming 
is  out  dancing  with  wild  women.  Well,  from 
now  on  I'm  going  to  beoneof  the  wild  women! " 

NToh  this  ».b  an  extraordinary  speech,  and 
as  he  heard  it,  vast  amazement  appeared  upon 
her  lust's  features. 

"Why,"  said  he,  "you're  the  last  person  In 
the  world  I'd  ever  expe<  t  to — " 

"Virtue,"  she  cried,  "ma)  be  its  own  re- 
ward, but  it  doesn't  pay  the  rent!" 

Whereupon  Mr.  Menvalesat  downabruptly. 

In  marched  Hodge  then,  bearing  a  tr.iy  on 
which  stood  a  dark  bottle  and  one  glass. 

"Champagne!"  exclaimed  Sylvia.    "Good! 
I  shall  need  it  tonight."    Gracefully  she  - 
the  glass  from    the  tray.     "1  don't  mind  if  1 
do.     Fill  it  up,  Hodge. 

Hodge  and  Anthony  looked  at  each  other, 
then  Hodge  coughed,  and  proceeded  to  i>our 
foaming  goide  bubbles  into  the  glass. 

••  But,"  stammered  Anthony,  "1 — I  thought 
you  never  drank,  anything!" 

•■  tonight  I  drink—- everything  1"  Theglass 
was  raised.  "Cheerio!"  and  Sylvia  downed 
it.  "Mm!  1  hope  1  can  depend  on  that. 
Fill  it  up  again,  Hodge!" 

"1  say!"  hurst  forth  the  startled  Anthony. 
"Look  here — what — " 

Hodge     as  refilling  the  glass. 

"Tony,"  said  the  radiant  girl,  "1  don't  like 
to  hurry  you,  Imt  do  you  mind  giving  me 
supper  now?     You  see,  1  can't  stay  long." 

"Why?" 

"Supper  is  served,  sir." 

"Good!  Though  1  doubt  if  1  can  eat  any- 
thing— I'm  so  exceited.  Are  mv  eyes  spar- 
kling?" 

"Your  eyes,"  murmured  Anthony,  gazing 
into  them,  "are  more  wonderful  than  I've  ever 
seen  them.     Look  here,  what  is  this — " 

Hut  Sylvia  was  airily  seating  herself  at  the 
table.  "Put  the  champagne  right  here  beside 
me,  please, "  she  directed.  Then  as  Hodge 
placed  bucket  and  bottle  on  the  lloor  by  her 
chair:  "I've  got  a  lot  of  drinking  to  do  in  a 
very  short  time.  I'm  going  to  do  my  Christ- 
ma-  drinking  early!'' 

ANTHONY,  shocked,  sat  down  opposite 
her.     "Look  here,  Sylvia — " 

"What  time  is  it?"  she  asked  suddenly. 

Host  and  servant  consulted  their  watches, 
and  when  they  looked  up.  her  glass  was  empty. 

"Eleven-forty,"  said  Anthony. 

"Eleven  forty-three,"  said  Hodge. 

Anthony  glared  at  him. 

"So  late?"  exclaimed  Sylvia.  "My  dear, 
I  must  hurry!" 

"Hurry?"  uncomfortably.     "Why?" 

'T'm  going  somewhere."  She  was  holding 
up  her  empty  glass.     "Encore!" 

"Where  are  you  going?" 

"Aha!     That's  the  great  secret!" 

"What  in  the  world,"  he  demanded,  "has 
happened  to  you?" 

"  It's  what  is  going  to  happen  to  me!  Please 
keep  my  glass  filled. " 

Anthony's  pained  and  puzzled  frown  deep- 
ened. A  shocking  procedure!  Could  this  gay, 
imperious  beauty  across  the  table  from  him 
he  Sylvia?  Little  Sylvia  who  had  always 
been  so  quiet,  so  demure.  .  .  . 

"What  does  this  mean?" 

"It  means" — a  pause — "it  means  that  some- 
where someone  is  waiting  for  me. " 

"Someone  waiting  for  you?  "  A  sharp  thrust 
of  jealousy  pierced  the  armor  of  Mr.  Merivale's 
shirt-front.     "Whoisit?1" 

"Oh — a  man.  "     Sylvia  smiled  mysteriously. 

"What  kind  of  a  man?" 

"Lobster,"  said  Hodge,  serving  supper. 

"Ah,  you  know  him!  Hodge's  a  comic!" 
She  laughed  up  at  Hodge,  and  to  Anthony 
the  laugh  sounded  faintly  edged  with  alcohol. 


"Just  a  moment.  laid  Anihonv  sternly. 
"  \  0U  sa)   you  0  meet  a  man.  " 

"A  i  ruely. 

"  \  cs     a  man!  " 

"Ho      ■  >,  I  hi  \,iu  to  be  Intere  ted 

"Well,   1      1      where  an  you  going  tO  meet 

him?" 

"Downstairs  in  the  dance-club!  So  con- 
venient ot  you,  Tony,  to  have  your  room 

the  dance  club  where  I'm  to  begin  m\    icarlel 

life  " 

"Scarlet    life"'    gasped    Anthony 
"l  mustn't  keep  him  waiting,    What  time 
is  it?" 

AN  1 1  Hodge,  watch  in  hand,  replied:  "  Eleven 
fifty,  Miss." 
"You  can  go."     Anthony  turned  to  him, 
annoyed.    'Til  serve  the  supper." 

"Then."  said  Sylvia,  "fill  up  mv   glass 

"What  againt"  it  was  empty.  Three 
glasses  of  champagne'     Little,  demure  Sylvia 

"Shall  1,"  asked  Hodge,  "open  another 
bottle,  sir0" 

"Open  a  window!"  Sylvia  threw  out  her 
white  arms  in  a  gesture  of  abandon.  "I'm 
giving  you  the  air'  " 

Hastily  Hodge  left  the  room. 

"Syh  ta! " 

"Ah!"  she  paused,  listening.  From  below 
came  the  muted  jazz  of  an  orchestra. 
"They've  begun  dancing  downstairs.  I'm  to 
meet  him  at  twelve." 

"Sylvia — "  there  was  distress  in  his  voice — 
"Who  is  this  man?     What's  his  name?" 

"Oh:"  the  pink  tips  of  her  fingers  wafted 
a  kiss  ceilingwards.  "I  don't  know  his  last 
name — but  he  asked  me  to  call  him  Herman." 

"Sylvia!" 

"And  what  do  you  think — he  wants  me  to 
marry  him!  Imagine!  Hut  I  wouldn't  be 
such  a  fool.     I  want  to  be  free!" 

The  scion  of  the  Merivales  winced.  "Do  I 
know  him?" 

"I  don't  think  so.  He  comes 
from  the  great  open  spaces. 
where  men  are  men — and 
women  are  governors! " 

Anthony  turned  away.  He 
felt  suddenly  desolate. 

"Just  time  for  one  more  little 
drink!" 

Again  her  glass  stood  empt  v. 

"My  Cod!"  he  stared  at  it, 
aghast. 

"And  then — the  great 
adventure!"  She  rose  and  her 
smile  seemed  painted. 

Anthony  got  to  his  feet  and 
faced  her  across  the  table. 
"This  man — you  mean — " 

"I  mean  I'm  tired  of  being  a 
good  girl.    Nothing  ever  happens  to  a 
good  girl.    I've  worked  and  slaved  in 
the  theater,  and  what  has  it  got  me? 
Nothing!" 

"But  you — you're  a  promising 
voung  actress! " 

"Ah!  Well,  after  tonight  I'm  going 
to  be  a  breack-of-promising  young 
actress!  I'm  going  to  become  a  star — 
and  I'm  taking  the  easiest  way!"  Her 
voice  rose.  "  Only — the  easiest  way  is 
so  hard  to  take!  Give  me  some  more 
champagne." 

"Sylvia!"  he  exclaimed,  horrified. 

"I  want  to  have  long,  lean  lim- 
ousines and  pearls  and  fur  coats — and 
diamond  bracelets  up  to  the  shoulder 
— and  a  line  of  millionaires  in  silk  hats, 
with  bunches  of  flowers,  waiting  for 
me  at  the  stage  door!  Y'ou  know — 
like  you  read  about  in  the  Sunday 
papers!" 

"  But  you  couldn't !  Y'ou're  not  the

"Sylvia!"  She  had  shattered  his  vanity 
and  she  was,  he  felt,  shattering  his  heart. 
"Sylvia — my  dear — I  want  to  talk  to  you!" 

IK-  sat  down  opposite.    "Please  be  senous." 

From  the  dance-club  downstairs,  a  dreamy 
melody  floated  up.  Sylvia  leaned  forward 
across  the  table,  and  there  seemed  more  of 
sentiment  than  champagne  in  her  mood. 

"All  right  —  I'll  be  serious.  Do  you 
remember  the  evening  we  first  heard  that  tune?" 

"There  was  a  moon.  ..." 

"Could  I  forget  it?"

Studio  News  and  Gossip — East  and  West      [continued  from  page  43] 


How   to   be   practically   invisible — have  your  picture  taken   with 

Michael  Arlen.     The  well-known  "Green  Hat"  dealer  is  he  with 

the  carnation.     Carelessly  grouped  around  are  Eddie  Sutherland 

(left  of  Michael),  Wallace  Beery  and  Raymond  Hatton 


And  the  fish,  my  dear!  are  positively  car- 
nivorous. One  young  maiden,  while  frolicking 
in  the  surf,  lost  her  little  finger  to  a  hungry 
barracuda  and  when  her  escort  came  out  to 
rescue  her,  Mr.  George  Barracuda  proceeded  to 
make  a  mess  of  the  chap's  legs,  with  the  result 
that  he — the  rescuer,  not  the  fish — is  now  laid 
up  in  a  Porto  Kican  hospital. 

But  Bill  doesn't  say  a  word  about  the  liquor! 
Need  he,  after  the  above  reports? 

AND  of  course  Line  gave  the  stranger  a 
hearty  handclasp. 

But  to  begin  at  the  first  of  our  story,  Lincoln 
Stedman  was  dining  at  the  Montmartre  the 
other  evening  when  a  slightly  ginned  individual 
ambled  over  to  him: 

"How  de  ya  do,  sir?  Somebody  over  there 
just  told  me  you  were  prominent  in  pictures.  I 
don't  recognize  you,  but  I'd  like  to  shake  hands 
just  the  same!" 

And  of  course  Line  gave  the  stranger  a 
hearty  handclasp. 

PSTELLE  TAYLOR  claims  she  has  found 
J-'the  reason  for  the  graceful  posing  of  the 
hands  and  forearm  across  the  waist  in  the  por- 
traits of  women  of  the  middle  ages. 

"  I  had  often  noticed  in  old  paintings  that 
women  never  held  their  hands  at  their  sides,  or 
in  any  way  except  at  their  waists/particularly 
when  sitting  down,"  said  Estelle  at  the  Vita- 
graph  Studio  the  other  day,  where  she  is  play- 
ing Lucretia  Borgia  with  John  Barrymore  in 
"  I  Ion  Juan." 

"I  found  out  why  when  I  began  to  wear 
this — "  pointing  to  an  elaborately  jeweled  and 
brocaded  medieval  gown  she  was  wearing. 

"They  had  to  hold  their  pointed  girdles  down 
to  keep  them  from  buckling.  The  darn  thing 
simply  won't  slay  in  place  and  I  have  to  keep 
my  hands  on  it  almost  constantly." 

\A/E  do  have  the  most  precocious 
waiters  in  Hollywood.  Con- 
sider this  one  that  Bob  Fraser,  in  the 
denims  and  overalls  of  his  part  for 
"The  Splendid  Road,"  met  in  a 
restaurant  near  the  United  Studios. 

82 


Bob's  hair  was  long  and  shaggy,  in 
keeping  with  the  part. 

Bob  handed  his  servitor  a  quarter 
as  a  tip.  The  fellow  eyed  it — and 
then  eyed  Bob's  hair. 

"Keep  it,  my  lad,  and  get  a  hair- 
cut!" he  said. 

COLLEEN  MOORE  held  a  housewarming 
the  other  day.    But  housewarmings  seem  to 
be  the  order  of  the  day  with  Colleen.    First  she 


opened  her  lovely  home  on  Rossmore  Avenue, 
then  she  displayed  her  tiny  Queen's  Doll 
House,  now  she  entertains  in  her  brand  new 
dressing-room  bungalow  on  the  United  lot. 
And  soon  a  magnificent  Beverly  Hills  home  will 
lie  ready  to  open. 

Of  course  the  bungalow  was  decorated  in 
green  ...  it  would  be  for  an  Irish  colleen. 
It  has  just  three  little  rooms,  with  a  hanky- 
sized  patio  and  a  frolicking  fountain.  There's 
a  knocker  on  the  door — in  the  form  of  a 
woman's  shapely  hand — but  we  hasten  to 
assure  you  it  is  Colleen's  only  knocker! 

A  tiny  living  room  with  a  fireplace  which 
crackles  cozily  with  a  real  blaze;  a  diminutive 
kitchen  glistening  in  its  enameled  whiteness; 
and  a  lovely  dressing  room  with  green  taffeta 
frills  and  soft  cushions. 

But  the  clothes  closet  is  the  wondrous  thing. 
Katherine — that's  Colleen's  maid — is  elated 
over  it.  It  is  nearly  as  big  as  the  living  room 
and  has  drawers  and  shelves  and  hangers  for 
all  of  Colleen's  costumes.  Long  drawers — one 
apiece — for  each  of  her  heavily  beaded  frocks; 
a  huge  closet  with  a  separate  stand  for  each 
chapeau — and  the  cavernous  cupboards  are  all 
cedar-lined. 

And  I  peeked  into  the  tiled  bathroom  and 
saw  the  color  scheme  was  carried  out  even  to 
green  bathsalts! 

MICHAEL  ARLEX  has  been  starved  out  of 
Hollywood! 

His  intimate  friends  say  that  he  cannot  afford 
the  movies.  On  every  motion  picture  story'  he 
writes  he  loses  $100,000. 

They  say  that  Michael  Arlen  is  the  best 
business  man  who  ever  had  anything  to  do 
with  writing  for  a  living.  When  he  writes  a 
novel,  it  is  said  that  his  contract  with  a  New 
York  magazine  brings  him  $60,000  for  the 
serial  rights.  On  the  story,  afterward  pub- 
lished in  book  form,  he  gets  a  liberal  percentage 
from  every  book  sold — and  a  great  many  are 
sold. 

Then  he  scoops  up  in  selling  the  dramatic 
and  screen  rights. 

At  a  mere  $30,000  a  scenario,  Mike  simply 
cannot  be  annoyed  writing  for  the  movies.

KEEP  YOUH  NAIL?  LOVELY  WITH  TEI1X  METHOD  FAVORED  BY 
THE  TMART  WOMEN  OE  TWO  CONTINENTS 


J\ot  only  in  America,  but  in  the  aristo- 
cratic capitals  of  Europe,  in  the  most 
sophisticated  of  the  fashionable  French  re- 
sorts, brilliant  and  accomplished  women 
depend  upon  this  secret  of  lovely  mails. 

YOUR  hands  can  be  as  lovely  as  the 
woman's  who  has  unlimited  resources 
for  guarding  her  beauty.  Nails  gleaming 
with  rosy  lights!  Tips  as  delicately  curved 
as  the  new  moon — and  just  as  flawless. 
Cuticle  smooth  and  unbroken  framing  your 
nails  in  dainty  ovals. 

Simply  follow  each  week  the  same  exqui- 
site method  that  smartly  groomed  women 
everywhere  find  so  marvellously  effective! 
Care  for  your  hands  with  Cutex  prepara- 
tions, famous  the  world  over. 

For  Cutex,  long  a  favorite  with  Ameri- 
cans, is  as  widely  known  abroad.  And 
Americans  traveling  abroad  are  delighted 
to  find  it  highly  esteemed  in  Paris — the 
home  of  sophisticated  toiletries!  In  fact  in 
Paris  itself,  and  at  the  smart  French  resorts 
—  Deauville,  Biarritz,  Nice,  Cannes,  Aix- 
les-Bains — more  Cutex  manicure  prepara- 
tions are  sold  than  anv  other  kind! 


Marthe  Rec.vier,  tal- 
ented French  actress  whose 
lovely  hands  are  pictured 
above,  says:  "In  the  salons 
of  my  Maison  de  Modes, 
I  always  notice  the  beau- 
tifully kept  nails  of  my 
American  clients  and  know 
that  they  have  used  Cutex." 


The  Way  to  Care  for  Your  Hands 
— First  wash  your  hands  thoroughly 
in  warm  soapy  water  and  file  the 
nails.  Dip  the  orange  stick  in  Cutex, 
twist  a  bit  of  cotton  around  the  end 
and  dip  in  the  bottle  again.  Work 
gently  around  the  base  of  each  nail, 
wiping  away  the  dead  dry  cuticle 


that  looks  so  untidy.  Now  pass  the 
wet  stick  under  the  tips  to  remove 
any  stain  or  grime,  and  smooth  the 
least  bit  of  Nail  White  under  the 
tips  to  make  them  snowy  white. 

For  a  lovely  finish  to  your  nails, 
huff  them  lightly  with  the  velvety 
Cutex  Powder  Polish  and  rinse  your 


hands  again  to  remove  traces  of 
Powder  and  Nail  White.  Then  for 
a  rosy  brilliance  that  lasts,  spread  a 
drop  of  Cutex  Liquid  Polish  evenly 
over  each  nail.  How  cleverly  it  em- 
phasizes the  smooth  ovals  of  cuticle 
and  delicate  white  tips,  and  it  lasts 
as  long  as  your  manicure. 


There,  just  as  they  do  here,  lovely  women 
owe  the  charm  of  their  well-groomed  hands 
to  the  world-tamous  Cutex  method.  And 
Northam  Warren — the  originator  of  Cutex 
— is  acknowledged  as  the  greatest  authority 
on  the  manicure. 

You  will  be  amazed  at  how  quickly  the 
antiseptic  liquid  Cutex  shapes  your  cuticle 
in  lovely  ovals.  And  smooths  away  every 
roughness  under  the  nail  tips!  How  magi- 
cally the  dainty  paste  whitens  them.  And 
you  will  find  the  rosy  Cutex  Liquid  Polish 
gives  your  nails  a  truly  enchanting  radiance. 

Begin  at  once  to  care  for  your  hands  the 
delightful  Cutex  way.  Complete  Cutex  Sets

FRIENDLY 
ADVICE 

From 

Carolyn  ^Jan  JVyck 


HOW  can  I  get  more  out  of  life?  What 
books  should  I  read?  What  subjects 
should  I  stud}-?  What  contacts  should 
I  make?  How  can  I  make  myself  a  more  inter- 
esting person? 

Many  letters  containing  these  questions 
come  to  me  every  month,  eager,  ambitious 
letters  of  the  type  I  like  to  receive. 

Develop  your  power  of  appreciation:  That 
is  the  best  and  surest  way  in  which  to  get  from 
life  the  fullness  and  happiness  it  holds.  Given 
appreciation,  life  from  ten  to  ninety  can  be- 
come an  adventure,  the  glorious,  exhilarating 
adventure  of  self  development  and  understand- 
ing, of  living  and  loving  and  spiritual  content. 

The  moment  one  begins  to  really  live,  one 
demands  more  and  more  of  life.  Despite  all 
that  certain  unhappy,  morbid  people  say,  life  is 
a  joyous  thing  when  you  know  how  to  make  it 
so. 

I  must  repeat  that  old,  old  saying  that 
happiness  is  a  state  of  mind.  It  comes  defi- 
nitely from  the  inside  out.  That  being  true,itis 
more  than  a  little  ridiculous  to  go  drowsing  our 
lives  away,  as  too  many  of  us  do,  or  making  our 
lives  unhappy  because  we  can't  go  to  parties  or 
have  the  costliest  clothes  in  town. 

There  is  so  much  more  to  life  than  this 
slender  social  end  of  it.  True  life  happiness  is 
the  careful  storing  of  "treasures  in  heaven," 
the  heaven  of  the  mind,  from  which  they  can 
never  be  stolen. 

Go  to  the  parties  and  buy  the  pretty  clothes 
by  all  means.  But  keep  them  in  their  place,  as 
the  charming  trifles  of  existence.  The  develop- 
ment of  ourselves  is  much  more  important.  It 
isn't  a  solemn  business.  It's  fun.  And  it  pays 
higher  dividends  than  any  investment  in  the 
world. 

The  way  to  appreciation  is  not  entirely 
through  books,  as  is  too  often  believed. 

One  doesn't  need  to  be  "literary"  or  to 
memorize  ponderous  tomes  to  be  interested  in 
life  or  to  be  interesting  to  other  people.  One 
can  study  constantly  and  never  use  a  book. 
There  are  people  to  be  studied  on  the  street, 
studied  to  find  out  why  the  young  man  looks  so 
troubled,  the  young  girl  so  happy  or  the  tired 
mother  so  subdued.  There  are  birds  flying 
over  one's  head,  and  trees  waving  above  one's 
street,  even'  one  of  which  has  its  story.  There 
is  the  whole  world  of  nature  spread  out  before 
us  like  a  gigantic,  living  painting  that  has  a 
thousand  points  of  absorbing  interest  to  be  dis- 
covered. 

There  arc  all  the  points  of  interest  about 
work,  your  work  and  my  work  and  your  friend's 
work.    Xo  matter  what  it  is.  there  is  something 


within  it  worth  investigating.  The  girls  who 
work  in  stores  and  factories  have  a  dozen 
things  before  them  to  understand.  Type- 
writers are  interesting,  with  a  long  history  be- 
hind them.  Paper  making  is  a  romance  in 
itself.  The  same  is  true  of  ink.  The  same  is 
true  of  anything.  Nothing  in  this  world  is  a 
bore  except  as  we  ourselves  make  it  so. 

Vet  if  one  is  serious  about  this  desire  for 
self-improvement,  a  little  sacrifice  must  be  en- 
tailed, a  sacrifice  of  laziness  and  listlessness. 
Sometimes  this  sacrifice  may  take  the  form  of 
reading  a  book  one  would  otherwise  dodge. 

Take  the  arts,  for  instance.  Vou  may  not  be 
able  to  paint,  or  compose  music,  or  write  short 
stories,  or  build  a  beautiful  building.  But 
knowing  a  little  about  the  processes  involved  in 
all  these  things  would  build  up  your  interest  in 
them  and  in  turn  make  you  an  interesting  con- 
versationalist. Music  doesn't  need  to  be  a 
dark  continent  to  anyone.  There  is  a  very 
simple  and  delightful  book  that  will  help 
toward  an  appreciation  of  it — "The  Common 
Sense  of  Music,"  by  Spaeth.  Another  helpful 
book  on  music  is  "  How  to  Listen  to  Music."  by 
Krehbiel.  Vou '11  be  amazed  and  amused,  I 
know,  after  reading  them,  to  learn  that  jazz 
very  often  has  the  same  form  as  a  great 
classical  work. 

With  the  present  interest  in  interior  deco- 
rating, there  are  dozens  of  excellent  books  on 
that  subject,  with  "  Furniture,"  by  Davis  Benn 
perhaps  the  most  authoritative  of  them  all 
Mr.  Benn's  book  is  a  romantic  thing,  too, 
giving  the  history  of  furniture  from  the  time  of 
Queen  Elizabeth  to  our  own.  showing  how 
wars  and  peace  and  the  loves  of  several  kings 
have  affected  the  very  shape  of  our  chair  legs! 

Or  if  you  don't  care  for  furniture  or  music, 
you  can  read  Sturgis  on  "Architecture."  which 
will  prove  to  you  that  even  the  buildings  in 
your  home  town  have  their  histories.  There  is 
"The  Lore  of  Precious  Stones."  if  you  desire  to 
learn  something  about  diamonds  and  pearls  1  e- 
sides  the  fact  that  they  are  expensive.  Clen-.ont 
Witt  has  written  a  fine  book  on  "How  to  Look 
at  Pictures."  which  will  make  your  eves  >ee 
many  values  they  never  beheld  before.  Or  if 
all  these  things  seem  too  mental  to  you  and  you 
want  something  more  personal,  you  can  still 
gel  values  from  the  excellent  1  ook  of 
"  Etiquette"  by  Emily  Post.  or.  in  another  line, 
from  that  sane  little  volume.  "Outwitting  Our 
Nerves,"  by  Dr.  Jackson,  which  proves  that 
most  of  our  illnesses  are  nonsense. 

All  these  arc  looks  for  building  one's  inter- 
ests. In  the  fiction  books,  which  one  is  more 
apt  to  read  just  for  the  enjoyment,  there  are 


O  CORES  of  Idlers  conn-  to  me  monthly  asking  for  exact  advice  on  diet,  reducing, 
L>  increasing  weight,  the  can-  of  the  skin,  the  hair,  the  best  colors  for  blondes,  the  best 
for  brunettes,  and  general  health.     These  letters  demand  careful  replies. 

I  have,  therefore,  had  printed  for  your  use  directions  for  obtaining  any  desired  im- 
provement in  your  appearance.  I  shall  be  very  glad  to  send  you  them  on  receipt  of  a 
stamped,  self-addressed  envelope.  I  shall  in  'the  future  reply  to  such  letters  directly 
rather  than  through  these  columns. 

It  will  leave  the  columns  open  for  advice  in  matters  that  need  understanding  rather 
than  rules,  matters  of  the  heart,  of  work  and  play  and  personality.  I  think  in  this  way 
I  can  serve  vou  more.

Above  All  Things 

This  Brings  You  Peaccof-Mind 

under  the  most  trying  of  hygienic  handicaps 


This  new  way  solves  women's  oldest  hy- 
gienic problem  as  it  should  be  solved . . .  by  end* 
ing  the  uncertainty  of  makeshift  ways  and 
warranting  immaculacy  under  ALL  conditions. 


By  Ellen  J.  Buckland,  Graduate  Nurse 


SHEEREST,  gayest  gowns;  your  filmiest, 
daintiest  things — wear  them  without  a 
moment's  thought! 

Social  activities,  meet  them  in  confidence. 
Dance,  dine,  motor  for  hours  .  .  .  unhandi- 
capped,  without  a  doubt  or  fear. 

Eight  in  every  ten  women  in  the  better 
walks  of  life  have  adopted  this  new  way.  It 
ends  the  uncertainty  of  the  old-time  sanitary 
pad  by  providing  protection  which  is  absolute. 
It  will  make  a  great  difference  in  your  life. 

These  three  factors  changed 
the  habits  of  millions 

This  new  way  is  Kotex,  the  scientific  sani- 
tary pad.  Nurses  in  war-time  France  first 
discovered  it.  It  is  made  of  the  super- 
absorbent  Cellucotton  covered  with  specially 
processed,  soft-finished  gauze. 

It  absorbs  and  holds  instantly  sixteen  times 
its  own  weight  in  moisture. 

It  is  five  times  as  absorbent  as  ordinary 
cotton  pads. 

Each  Kotex  pad  deodorizes  with  a  new 
secret  disinfectant.  Think  of  the  amazing 
protection  this  feature  alone  gives. 


There  is  no  bother,  no  expense,  of  laundry. 
Simply  discard  Kotex  as  you  would  waste 
paper — without  embarrassment. 

You  can  get  it  anywhere,  today 

If  you  have  not  tried  Kotex,  please  do.  It 
will  make  a  great  difference  in  your  view- 
point, in  your  peace-of-mind,  and  your  health. 

60%  of  many  ills,  according  to  many  lead- 
ing medical  authorities,  are  traced  to  the  use 
of  unsafe  and  unsanitary  makeshift  methods. 

Thus  today,  on  eminent  medical  advice, 
millions  are  turning  to  this  new  way. 

A  fair  test  will  convince  you  of  its  advan- 
tages beyond  all  question.  No  other  method 
will  ever  satisfy. 

Kotex  comes  in  sanitary  sealed  packages  of 
twelve,  in  two  sizes:  the  Regular  and  Kotex- 
Super.  At  all  better  drug  and  department 
stores,  everywhere. 

Today  begin  the  Kotex  habit.  Note  the 
improvements,  mental  and  physical,  that  it 
brings.  Write  today  for  "Personal  Hygiene" 
booklet.  Sample  of  Kotex  mailed  free  on 
request.

this  season  many  excellent  books  on  the 
market.  I  am  not  one  to  look  down  upon 
fiction.  I  like  to  read  too  much,  and  fiction 
can  instruct  one  as  competently  about  life  as 
any  other  medium.  There  is  good  fiction,  how- 
ever, and  there  is  trash.  Leave  the  "confes- 
sion" stuff  alone.  It's  mostly  terrible.  A 
beautiful  new  novel  is  "The  Perennial  Bach- 
elor," by  Anne  Parrish.  "Glorious  Apollo" 
and  "The  Divine  Lady,"  both  by  an  English- 
woman, E.  Barrington,  have  the  advantage  of 
being  exciting  romances  as  well  as  historical 
facts.  Mary'  Roberts  Rinehart's  "The  Red 
Lamp"  is  a  peach  of  a  mystery  yarn. 
"Caravan"  is  a  fine  collection  of  short  stories 
by  John  Galsworthy. 

It  is  said  that  one  who  is  a  true  reader  loves 
poetry.  For  those  who  are  a  little  timid  on  this 
matter,  I  advise  a  reading  of  Hazlitt's  essay  on 
poetry.  It  will  make  you  eager  to  purchase 
every  book  of  poetry  you  can.  And  among 
those  you  will  surely  want  the  works  of  Edna 
St.  Vincent  Mil.lay,  or,  for  novelty,  the  really 
lovely  verse  of  Xathalia  Crane,  who  wrote  two 
books,  "The  Janitor's  Boy"  and  "Lava  Lane," 
a  couple  of  years  before  her  fourteenth  birth- 
day, which  she  has  just  celebrated. 

Miss  E.  S.  Bayonne. 

I  know  of  no  treatment  for  your  trouble 
better  than  the  one  you  have  been  using 
already.  It  is  sometimes  possible  to  bleach  the 
superfluous  hairs  on  lips  and  chin  to  the  color 
of  one's  skin.  They  are  not  so  noticeable  then, 
and  this  treatment  used  in  common  with  a  good 
depilatory  may  help  you. 

Pauleen. 

You  should  be  able  to  wear  all  the  richer 
colorings  well,  the  wine  reds,  leaf  browns, 
yellows,  the  intense  blues.  Leave  most  of  the 
neutral  shades,  like  navy  blue,  and  the  pastels, 
alone.  Try  rubbing  your  nose  with  ice  when- 
ever you  are  bathing.  This  will  strengthen  its 
resistance  to  cold  and  do  away  with  its  redness. 

Anxious,  California. 

You  have  a  very  worthy  ambition,  but  the 
road  ahead  of  you  is  a  long,  hard  one.  To  be  a 
really  great  dancer  takes  hours  upon  hours  of 
the  hardest  work.  I  have  the  privilege  of 
knowing  one  of  your  idols,  Ruth  St.  Denis,  and 
I  have  often  heard  from  her  the  story  of  the 
years  of  practice,  study  and  sacrifice  of  luxuries 
that  she  had  given  to  her  art.  Yet  if  you  are 
courageous  to  go  on  and  work  as  hard  as  your 
ambition  demands,  the  medium  that  you  have 
chosen  is  a  very  satisfactory  one.  For  the 
moment  I  can  only  advise  you  to  study  as  hard 
as  you  can.  A  well  trained  mind  is  almost  as 
important  to  a  dancer  as  a  well  trained  body. 
Build  up  your  health,  for  that  also  is  im- 
perative. Keep  up  your  lessons  with  the  best 
teacher  you  can  alTord  and  work,  work,  work, 
to  the  perfecting  of  your  dance  technique. 

C.  F.,  Wisconsin. 

Jealousy  is  a  form  of  mental  disease  and  the 
only  cure  of  which  I  know  is  establishing  in  the 
other  person's  mind  a  complete  trust  in  you. 
When  a  person  is  jealous  of  you.  it  really  means 
he  is  afraid  of  losing  you.  Tell  your  friend  that 
his  jealousy  hurls  you  and  comes  between  you. 
Show  him  that  the  admiring  glances  of  Other 
men  really  do  not  influence  you,  but  that  they 
should  make  him  proud,  rather  than  unhappy, 
because  he  is  your  escort. 

As  for  your  leaving  home  and  trying  to  get 
into  the  movies— oh,  my  dear!  I  never  will 
advise  any  girl  on  that  course.  It  is  the  most 
hopeless,  heartbreaking  game  in  the  world. 
Stay  out  of  it,  I  beg  of  you.  In  last  month's 
issue  we  had  a  story  about  the  movie  beginners, 
called  "  1  Wouldn't  Wish  It  on  a  Dog."  That  is 
the  way  I  feel,  too. 

Peggy. 

I  think  there  are  more  boys  who  feel  there  are 
few  nice,  wholesome  girls  who  like  outdoor 
sports  than  there  are  girls  of  your  type  hunting 
for  them.  That  makes  me  feel  sure  that  you 
will  soon  meet  a  boy  who  will  appreciate  you 


and  your  interests.  Remember,  when  you 
want  to  make  friends,  Peggy,  that  most  people 
are  lonely.  Try'  to  find  out  the  interests  of  the 
people  you  desire  for  companions.  Let  them 
talk  to  you  and  be  truly  sympathetic.  The 
dancing  class  might  be  a  good  idea  for  you.  It 
would,  at  least,  bring  you  in  contact  with  a 
new  group  of  girls  and  boys  about  your  own 
age.  If  you  do  attend  it,  however,  try  not  to 
be  too  shyf.  Show  that  you  want  to  be  friendly, 
and  instead  of  trying  to  be  friends  with  the 
most  popular  member,  pick  out  those  who  are 
shy,  also.  You  will  have  a  common  bond, 
then,  that  should  unite  yrou.  Endeavor  to  get 
in  as  many  group  activities  as  you  can.  I  think 
this  will  do  away  with  your  friendlessness. 
Your  weight  is  correct  for  your  height.  No, 
dry  rouge  does  not  hurt  the  skin  and  it  would 
probably  be  very  becoming  to  you. 

Ruth  M. 

You  ought  to  give  yourself  a  good  cross- 
examination  and  find  out  what  you  really  want 
to  do  and  what  you  desire  from  life.  You  can't 
go  on  this  way,  my  dear.  When  any  of  us  say 
or  feel  that  we  are  unusual  and  therefore 
superior  to  the  general  rules  of  life,  we  must 
prove  it.  Taking  that  attitude  and  then  failing 
in  friendships,  in  work,  is  all  wrong.  There 
surely  is  a  place  for  you  in  this  world,  but  you 
must  be  worthy  of  it.  You  are  so  young  that  I 
feel  much  of  your  attitude  may  be  simply  youth 
in  revolt.  If  you  are  going  on  alone  and  going 
to  make  a  success  of  your  life,  however,  you 
must  be  more  honest  with  yourself.  You  say 
you  "can  do  anything  that  it  is  not  necessary 
to  have  special  training  for."  Nobody  ever  got 
very  far  on  that  basis.  Mark  out  your  course. 
You  have  a  good  education,  and  from  your 
letter  I  know  you  have  a  good  mind  if  you  will 
but  use  it.  Get  yourself  a  job,  no  matter  how 
unattractive  it  may  be  for  the  moment,  and 
work  at  it  until  you  are  self  supporting  and  can 
be  truly  self  respecting.  Cut  off  from  your 
friends,  out  of  work  and  in  a  strange  city  is  a 
bad  environment  for  a  girl  of  your  age.  Be 
brave  and  strong.  Work  is  one  of  the  finest 
things  in  the  world  and  it  will  bring  you  true 
independence,  and  it  will  also  bring  your 
friends  back  to  you  once  more. 

Anxious,  Iowa. 

Your  weight  is  satisfactory  for  your  height. 
For  your  ankles  and  heavy  legs,  avoid  standing 
as  much  as  possible.  Climb  all  the  stairs  you 
can,  and  as  often  as  you  can.  Xothing  reduces 
the  ankles  more  effectively  than  this.  Any 
pedaling  exercise,  such  as  bicycle  riding,  will 
help.  Exercise  your  legs  by  swinging  them 
from  the  hips,  each  leg  forward  and  back  as  far 
as  possible.  Do  this  about  twenty  times  each 
morning.  Lying  on  your  back  with  your  arms 
stretched  up  above  your  head,  pull  your  knees 
up  to  your  chest.  From  that  position  ride  an 
imaginary  wheel  dozens  of  times.  Yours  was 
one  of  the  letters  that  made  me  write  the 
column  you  find  above. 

D.  J.  H..  Syracuse. 

Almost  all  cold  creams  have  a  lanolin  base. 
Read  the  trade-marks  carefully  and  you'll 
surely  find  one.  You  can  buy  toilet  lanolin,  il 
you  prefer.  It  conies  in  tubes  at  most  good 
drug  stores  and  many  beauty  specialists  recom- 
mend it. 

B.  Victoria. 

It  is  possible  that  you  arc  using  too  much 
cold  cream  on  your  face.  Try  keeping  your 
skin  less  oily  and  use  a  fairly  heavy  rice 
powder.    I  think  this  will  help  you. 

L.  P. 

With  dark  hair,  eyes  and  skin,  the  brunette 
shades  in  powder,  lipstick  and  rouge  are  your 
aids.  Use  a  dark  rachel  powder,  but  it  might 
be  well  for  you  to  experiment  a  bit  with  rouge 
and  lipstick  to  see  whether  you  can  wear  the 
bright  red  shades  which  are  sometimes  so  be- 
coming to  girls  with  your  coloring.  If  you  find 
these  too  bright,  use  the  ashes  of  roses  type.

Brushing  your  coat  collar 
doesn't  stop  dandruff 


IF  YOU    have  dandruff,  you're  a  slave  to   a 
whisk-broom.  And  so  you  brush, brush, brush 
—  to  save  yourself  embarrassment. 

But  it  isn't  necessary  to  be  embarrassed,  nor  to 
play  second  fiddle  to  a  whisk-broom — if  vou  are 
willing  to  try  the  simple  Wildroot  treatment.  For 
years,  Wildroot  Hair  Tonic  has  been  famous, 
because  it  does  remove  dandruff". 

A  very  interesting  thing  happens  with  the  first 
few  applications  of  Wildroot.  The  accumulated 
dandruff  loosens  up  and  is  temporarily  more 
apparent,  but  soon  disappears  under  regular  treat- 
ment. This  is  a  good  picture  of  Wildroot  at  work 

After  applying  to  the  scalp,  dress  your  hair  with 
Wildroot,  to  renew  the  lustre  and  beautv.  Get 
some  Wildroot  at  your  druggist's  today. 


IMPORTANT  NOTJ 

It  is  incorrect  tDSUpposi 
that  W  ildrout  grows  b  a 
Onh  a  healthy  uat 
gro<u.'  hair.  Wildroot  re- 
moves the  very  unhealth  v 
condition  of  dandruH. 
and  thus  prever.it  the  .  I 
of  hair  that  is  sure  to 
follow  dandrur1.

Patsy  C. — Patsy,  .ill  those  guys  you  love, 
Ramon  Nbvarro,  Harrison  Ford  and  William 
Collier,  Jr  .  are  the  same  height.  livery  one 
of  them  i>  five  feet,  ten,  or  the  three  of  them 
ar^  seventeen  feet,  six  inches.  They  all  live  in 
Hollywood,  too,  though  Harrison  is  in  New 
York  at  the  moment-  Ben-Hur  was  released 
Christmas  l'\  e. 

Peggy  s  ,  Chicago. — You  think  I'm  swell? 
Gee,  I  wish  you  were  around  to  tell  the  boss 
kbout  me.  Vou  want  to  know  the  lime  and 
place  that  Bebe  Daniels  chose  to  visit  this 
globe?  Well,  Bebe  was  born  in  Dallas,  Texas, 
the  fourteenth  day  of  January,  iooi.  She  is 
rive  feet,  three  and  a  half  inches  tall  and  weighs 
one  hundred  twelve  pounds.  So  you  love 
Bebe  honestly?  Well,  1  hope  so.  Xo  dis- 
horn -t  love  goes  in  this  here  section. 

F.  F.  C. — Here's  the  low-down  on  Colleen 
Moore.  Colleen  is  married  to  John  McCor- 
mack,  the  film  man  and  not  the  singer.  She 
was  born  twenty-three  years  ago  in  Port  Hu- 
ron. Michigan,  of  Irish-American  parents. 
1  can't  send  you  a  picture  of  Colleen,  but 
if  you  will  write  to  her  personally  and  enclose  a 
quarter,  she  will  send  you  one  herself. 

M  \uge  1..,  Astoria. — Harrison  Ford  is  four 
years  older  than  the  twentieth  century-  Now 
see  if  you  can  add.  He's  divorced.  Tom  Mix 
orn  about  1S88.  Xo,  Ruth  Roland  isn't 
playing  in  anything  except  real  estate.  Ruth's 
a  year  younger  than  Harrison.  Xow  see  ifjyou 
can  subtract.     Atta  girl! 

P.  R. — Marion  Davies'  next  picture  is  "Bev- 
erly of  Graustark."  She's  out  in  Hollywood 
at  present,  hut  I  agree  with  you.  She  and 
Harrison  Ford  make  a  great  team.  Beautiful 
Marion  is  five  feet  and  a  half  and  weighs  one 
hundred  twenty-three  pounds.  Vou  want  to 
know  who  I  think  is  the  most  beautiful  wom- 
an on  the  screen  and  then  ask  me  to  name 
three.  Lady,  lady,  I  have  not  lived  all  these 
years  free  and  unshackled  by  saying  who  I 
think  is  the  most  beautiful  screen  siren.  The 
only  reason  they  let  me  live  is  because 
they  don't  know  I'm  alive.  And  they 
would  if  I  told  them  they  were  beauti- 
ful. Stay  away  from  the  movies.  P.  R. 
You  say  you'll  never  have  to  work  for  a 
living.  Well,  you'll  have  to  work  like 
fury  to  get  in  the  movies,  and  then  to 
stay  in. 

Henrietta,  Halifax. —  Henrietta, 
how  can  you  doubt  me?  I  am  just  as 
masculine  as  potatoes.  Vou  want  to 
know  about  Rudy.  Well,  I've  talked  to 
Rudy  a  lot  and  he  isn't  swell  headed, 
no  matter  what  your  friends  say.  He's 
a  tine,  handsome  chap  with  excellent 
manners.  Does  that  make  you  feel 
better?  I  don't  know  whether  he 
was  in  your  town  three  years  ago,  but  I 
do  not  believe  so. 


M.  E.  M.     So  you  want  my  dear  old  grand 
father's  address,  do  you?    1  wouldn't  advise 

vou  to  send  the  old  man  a  note.       The  la   I 
1  wrote  him  got  all  scorched.    As  for  my  photo 
graph,  you  can't  see  me  behind  my  whiskers 
anyhow.    You  think  Hen  Lyon  is  the  hand 
siimcst   man  on   the  screen,   do  you?    You 
ought. i  sec  him  off.      A  handsome  guy.     Yes, 
that's  his  own  name.     Neither  married  noi  en 
gaged.      Imagine  that     Write  to  him  in  care 
of  First   National  pictures.     1  enjoyed  your 
first  letter  as  much  as  you  say  you  enjo)  my 
page.     So  thai  makes  us  even. 

W.  C.  C. — Your  pretty  Alberta  Vaughan  is 
unmarried,  unengaged,  only  twenty  and  to  be 
found  at  the  F.  B.  0.  studios.  William,  do 
your  stuff.  Shirley  Mason  is  six  years  older 
than  Alberta,  but  then  she's  a  widow. 

Brown  Eyes  of  Perth  Amboy. — Write  all 
you  like  and  I  won't  be  mad.  Richard  Dix 
has  brown  eyes  with  hair  to  match.  His  next 
picture  is  "Womanhandled."  Dick,  wonder- 
ful boy,  is  still  unwed. 

A  Friend,  New  Haven. — I've  always 
wanted  to  have  a  friend  in  New  Haven  and  now 
I've  got  you.  Such  a  cheering  thought.  Write 
to  Ronald  Colman,  personally,  in  care  of  the 
United  Studios  and  I'm  sure  your  handsomest 
man  in  the  movies  will  send  a  picture  to  you. 

H.  E.  Lapre,  Hoofdkantoor,  Bandoeng. 
— Where  on  earth  is  that?  Glad  to  know 
Photoplay  reaches  there,  but  I  want  to  know- 
how.  The  lovely  ladies  you  saw  were,  re- 
spectively, Gertrude  Olmstead  in  "Cameo 
Kirby,"  Claire  Windsor  and  Bessie  Love  in 
"The  Eternal  Three"  and  Alice  Calhoun  in 
"The  Man  from  Broadney's."   Write  again. 

S.  L.  R. — Ramon  Xovarro  played  Rupert 
of  Hentsau  in  "A  Prisoner  of  Zenda."  You're 
right.  Rod  La  Rocque's  fine.  His  hair  is 
dark  brown  and  his  eyes  are  black.  You 
didn't  bother  mc  a  bit. 


Peggy.  Another  l>i\  admirer.  That  l*>y 
surely  pulls  them  in.  Vlso  loud  of  Ben  Lyon 
and  Buster  Collier.    That's  a  -mart  girl.    If 

you  fall  in  love  with  three  men,  you'll  never 

break   your   heart    so   hard   over  one.      Buster 

was  bora  in  the  large  i  ity  of 

ruary   12,   tooa.     (dad  you  like  our  family 

paper  so  much.     So  do  1. 

F.  P.,  Raleigh.— No,  I  just  love  theques 

tions.  My  rooms  at  home  are  all  papered  with 
question  marks  to  make  me  feel  natural. and  my 
figure,  after  years  of  bending  over  my  type- 
writer, is  a  walking  advertisement  of  my  pro 
fession.  Ronald  Colman  is  neither  divorced, 
widowed  nor  married.  That's  a  puzzle.  What 
is  he?  Separated  Ronald  is  live  feet. 
eleven,  and  thirty-live  years  old.  His  hair 
isn't  brown,  but  black.  It  was  Yilma  Hanky 
with  him  in  "The  Dark  Angel."  A  blonde 
angel,  certainly.  She's  in  Valentino's  "The 
Eagle,"  too.  Billie  Burke  is  married  to  the 
theatrical  manager,  Florenz Ziegfeld, and  lives 
quietly  just  outside  New  York.  Yes.  liillie's 
bobbed  her  hair.  Mary  Miles  Minter  is  in 
New  York,  but  she  is  not  making  any  pictures 
now,  though  I  understand  she  means  to  re- 
turn to  them  soon.  Florence  Yidor  is  di- 
vorced and  now  reported  engaged  to  George 
Fiumaurice,  the  director.  Xo,  not  even 
Florence  has  long  hair  any  more. 

M.  B.  A.,  Minneapolis. — Many  thanks  for 
your  letter.  I  have  destroyed  it,  but  I  won't 
forget. 

D.  I.  C,  Lynbrook. — So  you  think  I  am 
important  and  awfully  interesting,  do  you? 
How  we  two  would  get  along.  For  I  think 
I'm  awful  interesting,  too.  The  editor  usu- 
ally leaves  off  the  interesting,  tho,  when  he 
talks  to  me.  particularly  when  I  ask  for  a 
nickel  raise.  Hugh  Allen  is  nineteen  and 
unmarried.  Write  to  him  in  care  of  the  Fox 
Studios.  Yes,  I  agree  with  our  Adela  that 
ben  Lyon  is  the  real  college  type.  You  can 
reach  Ben  in  care  of  First  Xational  studios, 
address  in  the  studio  directory. 


IN  writing  to  the  stars  for  pictures, 
Photoplay  advises  you  all  to  be 
careful  to  enclose  twenty-five  cents. 
This  covers  the  cost  of  the  photo- 
graph and  postage.  The  stars  are 
all  glad  to  mail  you  their  pictures, 
but  the  cost  of  it  is  prohibitive  un- 
less your  quarters  are  remitted. 
The  younger  stars  can  not  afford  to 
keep  up  with  these  requests  unless 
you  help  them.  You  do  your  share 
and  they'll  do  theirs. 


Jack.  A.  B. — You  certainly  are  one 
curious  young  person.  Wait  till  I  get 
my  breath  and  I'll  start  on  your  letter. 
Here  noes.  Mary  and  Doug  have  been 
married  six  years,  in  March.  Doug, 
Jr.,  isn't  their  child.  He's  only  Douu-'s 
child.  Jack  is  Mary's  brother.  He's 
married  to  Marilyn  Miller,  the  musical 
comedy  star.  Both  Xorman  Kerry  and 
Fred  Thompson  are  married,  Xorman 
to  a  non-professional,  called  Mrs.  Xor- 
man Kern-,  and  Fred  to  Ftai 
Marion,  the  famous  scenario  writer. 
Xorman's  thirty-two  and  Fred  thirty- 
five.  Hoot  Gibson's  wife  is  Helen 
Johnson.  Didn't  you  see  Barbara's 
picture  in  the  January  Photoplay? 
You  can't  scare  me.  Write  when  you  like.

Bebe  Daniels  a  personage,  pretty,  peppy  and  piquant 

The  Girl  on  the  Cover 

By  Cal  York 


BEBE  DANIELS  is  unique  in  that  she 
started  as  a  leading  woman.  She  en- 
tered the  movies,  a  plump  cherub,  when 
she  was  thirteen.  That  was  with  Harold 
Lloyd,  when  the  Lloyd  studio  was  an  old 
house  and  the  Lloyd  fortunes  netted 
about  S10. 

Since  then,  she  has  climbed  very 
steadily  and  very  surely.  In  more  ways 
than  one  she  has  grown  up  with  the  in- 
dustry. 

Everyone  thought  in  those  early  days 
that  she  and  Harold  were  in  love.  They 
were,  but  it  was  puppy  love  and  even  the 
most  ardent  grow  out  of  thai.  Hut  for 
several  seasons  they  played  together  day 
after  day  at  the  studio  and  danced  to- 
gether ulght  after  night  in  the  contests  in 
the  little  dance  halls  to  which  they  could 
afford  to  go.  They  won  cups,  too,  oi 
which  they  were  both  very  proud. 

Bebe  slaved  with  Harold  until  she  went 
with  Cecil  De  Mille.  stayed  until  her 
plump  cherub  days  were  over  and  she  was 
instead  a  beautiful  young  woman  with  a 
slim,  lovely  body  and  dark,  brown  eyes 
and  shining  black  hair. 

Bvery  advertisement  In  moron. ay  magazine  is  guaranteed. 


De  Mille  made  her  into  a  vamp,  little 
Bebe  who  lived  quietly  with  her  mother 
and  grandmother  in  a  modest  bungalow. 
She  wandered  in  and  out  among  the  De 
Mille  bathtubs  and  gained  so  rapidly  in 
popularity  that  when  the  short-lived 
Realart  company  was  formed,  they  made 
her  a  star.  They  advertised  her  as  '"the 
good  little  bad  girl "  and  she  did  hcrdarn- 
dest  to  live  up  to  it. 

When  Realart  flopped,  she  came  East. 
That  visit  helped  her  grow  some  more, 
mentally  this  time.  More  knowledge 
showed  her  the  vast  equipment  necessary 
to  stardom.  Bebe.  proving  her  intelli- 
gence, decided  she  wasn't  schooled  enough 
in  her  art  for  stardom.  Very  earnestly, 
she  went  back  to  playing  leads. 

Then  came '"Sinners  in  Heaven."  Para- 
mount viewing  it  and  watching  the  work 
she  and  Richard  Dix  put  over  in  it, 
starred  them  both. 

Today  Bebe  is  a  star  by  virtue  of  real 
ability.  Her  latest  releases.  "Lovers  in 
Quarantine."  "Wild.  Wild  Susan"  and 
"The  Crowded  Hour"  all  reveal  her  true 
artistry.

Healthy 
Glow- 

That's  what  your  cheeks 
were  meant  to  have. 
Pompeian  Bloom 
gives  the  natural  color  that  comes  with  health 


By   MADAME   JEANNETTE 

Famous  cosmetician,  retained  by  The  Pompeian 
Laboratories  as  a  consultant  to  give  authentic 
advice  regarding  the  care  of  the  skin  and  the 
proper  use  of  beauty  preparations. 

["  RECENTLY  overheard  one  of  my 
■*■  friends  say  to  another:  "You  have 
stopped  using  rouge,  my  dear.  What 
lovely  natural  coloring!"  But  the  truth 
was  that  she  hadn't  stopped  at  all.  Like 
thousands  of  other  women,  she  had  learned 
about  the  rouge  that  would  give  her 
cheeks  the  exquisite  natural  coloring  of  a 
girl  in  her  'teens.  That  rouge  is  Pompeian 
Bloom. 

Today  women  everywhere  realize  the 
necessity  of  using  rouge  that  matches 
perfectly  their  natural  skin-tones.  And 
when  they  use  the  right  shade  of  Bloom 
they  achieve  the  wholly  natural  effect 
they  desire. 

From  the  shade  chart  you  can  easily 
select  the  particular  shade  of  Pompeian 
Bloom  for  your  type  of  complexion. 

SHADE  CHART  for  selecting 
your  correct  tone  of  Pompeian  Bloom 

Medium  Skin:  The  average  American 
woman  has  the  Medium  skin-tone — pleas- 
antly warm  in  tone,  with  a  faint  sugges- 


tion of  old  ivory  or  sun-kissed  russet. 
The  Medium  tone  of  Pompeian  Bloom 
just  suits  this  type  of  skin. 

If  you  are  slightly  tanned,  you  may  find 
the  Orange  tint  more  becoming.  And 
sometimes  women  with  Medium  skin 
who  have  very  dark  hair  get  a  brilliant 
result  with  the  Oriental  tint. 

Olive  Skin:  Women  with  the  true  olive 
skin  are  generally  dark  of  eyes  and  hair — 
and  require  the  Dark  tone  of  Pompeian 
Bloom.  If  you  wish  to  accent  the  bril- 
liancy of  your  complexion,  the  Oriental 
tint  will  accomplish  it. 

Pink  Skin:  This  is  the  youthful  skin, 
most  often  found  in  blondes  or  red-haired 
women,  and  should  use  the  Oriental  tint. 

White  Skin:  If  you  have  this  rare  type 
of  skin,  use  the  Light  tone  of  Bloom. 

Special  Note:  An  unusual  coloring  of 
hair  and  eyes  sometimes  demands  a  dif- 
ferent selection  of  Bloom-tone  than  those 
above.  If  in  doubt,  write  a  description  of 
your  skin,  hair  and  eyes  to  me  for  special 
advice. 

Pompeian  Bloom,  6oc  (slightly  higher 
in  Canada).  Purity  and  satisfaction 
guaranteed.

EVER  since  his  stubbly  role  of  Casey  in 
"The  Iron  Horse,"  J.  Farrell  Macdonald 
has  been  trotting  about  Hollywood  looking  like 
an  animated  haymow,  with  a  ten-day  growth  of 
hair  on  his  erstwhile  pink  cheek.  While  in  this 
unshorn  condition  he  opened  a  charge  account 
at  a  large  Los  Angeles  haberdashery.  Then 
came  the  close  shave  for  his  role  in  "The  First 
Year."  With  his  cuticle  revealed  to  the  sun 
for  the  first  time  in  many  moons  he  went 
a-shopping  and  told  the  clerk  to  charge  his 
purchases  to  the  account  of  J.  Farrell  Mac- 
donald. 

But  the  clerk  was  not  to  be  deceived  by  any 
impostor.  "Very  sorry,  sir,  but  the  Macdonald 
who  opened  the  account  had  whiskers.  You'll 
have  to  show  your  identification." 

Of  course  the  bank  book  was  in  the  other 
suit.    It  always  is. 

Then  Jack  Ford,  director  of  "The  Iron 
l  forse,"  sauntered  in,  Macdonald  greeted  him 
with  open  arms.  "You're  just  in  time  to 
identify  me,  Jack!" 

But  Jack  remembered  the  time  J,  Farrell  had 
put  sand  in  the  bunk  when  they  were  on  loca- 
tion together. 

"If  you  are  the  Macdonald  I  know,  you  will 
have  a  strawberry-shaped  scar  on  the  palm  of 
your  left  hand." 

And  J.  Farrell  was  no  Thurston,  so  he  left 
the  shop  minus  his  purchases. 


OF  course  it  would  happen  in  Tia  Juana. 
Such  cock  and  bull  stories  always  do,  be- 
cause there  is  so  much  bull  fighting  in  that 
country.  But  it  sounds  good,  and  maybe  you'll 
think  it  funny. 

Everyone  knows  how  much  Jack  Mulhall 
and  Eugene  O'Brien  look  alike,  but  the  film 
colony  is  quite  able  to  tell  them  apart.  The 
other  week-end  Gene  O'Brien  joined  the 
Schenck-Talmadge  party  that  went  to  that 
Mexican  border  town,  and  as  they  were  partak- 
ing of  liquid  refreshments  in  one  of  the  cafes  a 
husky  bruiser,  with  overstuffed  shoulders, 
came  rolling  in  with  a  feminine  companion  who 
might  have  been  a  burlesque  beauty. 

Seeing  Gene,  he  swaggered  over  to  him  and 
walloped  him  on  the  back: 

"Hello.  Jack,  ole  kid!  How  are  yuh?  Meet 
the  little  woman!" 

And  now  Gene  is  kidding  Jack  about  his 
pugilistic  friends. 

AXOTHFR  matrimonial  barque  lost  in  the

Tasteless  Tablet  That  End  Pains 

Feminex  is  recommended  for  relieving  simple 
pain  only,  and  does  not  interfere  in  any  way  with 
the  normal  functioning  of  the  system. 


Banishes  habitual  pains  in  10  minutes — 
is  equally  effective  for  other  pains 


GIRLS  nowadays,  and  women,  have  more  to  do. 
More  outside  interests.  More  social  and  busi- 
ness activities.   Every  hour  of  every  day 
counts  for  something  in  this  day  and  age  when 
beauty  shop  appointments  are  kept  as  religiously  as 
dinner  engagements. 

So,  to  lose  a  whole  day,  spells  tragedy.  But  this  is 
no  longer  necessary.  Feminex  saves  those  days  that 
were  habitually  lost  through  pain  or  fear  of  pain. 
Replaces  them  with  fine,  free,  normal  days. 

Feminex  is  Effective  Promptly 

In  rendering  its  service  of  relief  and  relaxation  .  .  . 
Feminex  also  immediately  relieves  other  pains  that 
discomfit  girls  and  women — backache,  headache, 
neuralgia,  neuritis  and  other  similar  distress.  It 
comes  in  a  little  blue  package,  protecting  a  small 


bottle  that  holds  enough  tablets  for  three  months' 
service.  And  for  only  50c  .  .  .  The  bottle  is  as 
easy  to  carry  as  a  compact. 

Feminex  is  absolutely  safe,  inexpensive,  tasteless, 
and  effective  at  once  .  .  .  easy  to  buy  in  drug 
stores   .   .   .   Has  no  effect  on  heart  or  stomach.

Why  go  through  the

drudgery  at  low  pay, 
that  are  necessary  in 

so  many  occupations?  There  will  always 
be  a  demand  for  good  art  work,  due  to  the 
limited  number  who  have  talent  for  draw- 
ing. If  you  like  to  draw,  an  almost  sure 
indication  of  talent,  don't  fail  to  make  the 
most  of  it.  Modern  business  offers  rich  re-

NATACHA  told  an  interviewer  recently 
that  she  didn't  believe  in  exploiting  one's 
name  for  professional  advancement — provided 
one  had  a  name  that  meant  something. 

"And."  continued  the  new  cinema  player,  "I

The  other  night  at  a  dinner  party 
there  was  a  goodly  sprinkling  of 
celebrated  ladies  who  had  assumed 
the  wedding  rings  but  not  the  names

of  course,  did  not  associate  her 
dinner  partner's  name  with  that  of 
a  certain  noisome  lady  who  sat 
farther  down  the  table.  The 
woman's  voice  grew  more  raucous 
and  Margaret  murmured  to  her 
partner: 

"I  never  heard  anyone  with  a  voice

A  strange  spasm  passed  over  the

Dorothy  Gray's  preparations  with  complete  directions  for  treatments  can  be  obtained 
at  the  leading  department  stores  and  quality  drug  stores  throughout  the  country. 


IT  is  now  known  that  the  signs  of 
age  on  a  woman's  face  center 
almost  90%  of  the  time  on  just  three 
places.  Correct  those  three  and  the 
difference  is  almost  unbelievable. 

By  discovering  that  fact  and  then 
by  perfecting  new  and  totally  differ- 
ent treatments  and  preparations 
from  any  known  before,  Dorothy 
Gray  became  one  of  the  world's  most 
famous  beauty  specialists. 

Scarcely  a  woman  of  international 
social  or  financial  importance  but  has 
yielded  to  her  amazing  ministrations. 

In  proof  of  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Dorothy  Gray  methods,  experts 
point  out  that  while  67%  of  all 
women  past  25  and  90%  past  35, 
in  ordinary  walks  of  life,  look  from 
5  to  10  years  older  than  they  are, 
the  opposite  applies  among  the 
ultra-wealthy  where  the  average 
woman  looks  years  younger  than  she  is. 

Household  cares  and  motherhood 
are  held  blameless.  The  battle 
against  age  has  largely  been  a  losing 
one  for  want  of  scientific  youth 
protection. 

With  the  correct  treatments  and 
preparations  at  your  disposal,  you 
can  work  an  almost  unbelievable 
transformation  in  yourself.  A  fact 
you  can  now  easily  prove  to  your 
own  satisfaction  in  your  own  home. 


DOROTHY   GRAY 

Coming  to  New  Vork  ten  years  ago,  the  daughter  of  a 
noted  doctor  and  scientist,  Dorothy  Gray,  by  the 
application  of  a  new  method  of  scientific  strengthening 
of  the  facial  muscles,  resulting  in  the  keeping  and 
bringing  back  of  youth,  soon  became  one  of  the  most 
famous  beauty  specialists  in  the  world,  numbering 
among  her  clientele  scores  of  the  greatest  names  in  the 
international  social  register.  Known  as  "the  Beauty 
Sculptor, "  her  hands  were  recently  insured  for  Si  00,000.

are  made  plump — sallow  skins  are

feet  around  the  eyes  are  corrected  — 
fat  chins  are  reduced  .  .  .  absolutely

The  Dorothy  Gray  methods  banish 
them,  results  in  many  cases  being 
almost  beyond  belief.  Today,  look-

than  one's  years,  a  crime  against 
one's  self.

Thirty-six  pieces — count  'em.    Jean  Crosier,  Lnglewood,  California, 
school  girl,  won  this  $2,000.00  toilet  chest  in  the  Modern  Girl  con- 
test staged  by  Colleen  Moore  in  Los  Angeles.    The  chest  is  of  ivory 
plate  and  the  toilet  articles  are  of  solid  ivory  inlaid  with  gold 


FOR  weeks  Fred  Talmadge,  father  of  Norma, 
Constance  and  Natalie,  lay  in  a  sanitarium 
counting  the  days  until  Christmas  would  come 
when  he  would  be  strong  enough  to  leave  his 
bed  to  play  Santa  Claus  to  his  two  little  grand- 
children— the  babies  of  Natalie  and  "Buster'' 
Keaton.  Of  course  he  had  not  been  able  to  do 
any  Christmas  shopping  himself,  but  Norma 
had  bought  some  gay  little  toys  at  his  bidding. 
And  then,  on  a  day  just  a  month  before 
Christmas,  he  quietly  passed  away  in  the  arms 
of  Norma  and  Natalie,  who  had  been  called  at 
his  request.  Constance  and  Mrs.  Talmadge 
were  en  route  to  the  coast  from  New  York,  and 
the  funeral,  to  which  all  of  Hollywood  paid 
tribute,  was  held  upon  their  return. 

USUALLY  the  first  in  everything,  but  the 
last  to  have  her  hair  snipped,  is  Patsy  Ruth 
Miller.  But  now  she  has  gone  and  done  it. 
The  result  is  devastating,  but  oh!  the  gentle 
razzing  that  goes  with  the  compliments.  Pat  is 
a  very  decided  young  person,  and  decided 
were  her  views  on  long  hair — until  she  bobbed! 
The  most  humorous  occurrence  came  about 
the  other  evening — it  was  the  night  of  the 
bobbing,  to  be  exact — when  Pat  made  a  per- 
sonal appearance  at  a  local  theater.  Huntley 
Cordon  was  the  master  of  ceremonies  and.  not 
knowing  about  the  massacre,  he  made  a  very 
neat  little  comment  anent  Pat's  wisdom  in  re- 
taining lu-r  tresses  and,  thereby,  her  individual- 
ity. And  he  concluded  by  asking  Pat  to  say  a 
few  words  on  why  she  had  never  bobbed. 

Pal  was  nonplused.  But  only  for  a  moment 
She  snatched  off  her  little  felt  hat  and  stood  in 
all  the  glory  of  her  new  shingle  bob. 

"I  haven't  a  thing  to  say!" — and  the 
audience  howled. 

UPON  her  return  from  Europe,  Irene  Rich 
was  honored  by  the  Warner  Brothers  with 
a  dinner  dance  at  the  Casa  Lopez.  She  looked 
charming  as  ever,  but  was  quite  apologetic  be- 
cause she  hadn't  had  time  to  get  a  new  gown 
for  the  party.  You  see.  Irene  had  taken  her 
two  daughters  to  Europe  and  placed  them  in 
school  in  Switzerland,  and  their  stay  in  Paris 
was  spent  outfitting  the  children.  So  Mamma 
was  neglected. 


Nevertheless,  the  line  formed  to  the  right  of 
Irene's  table,  and  it  took  all  four  Warner 
Brothers  to  fight  off  her  prospective  dancing 
partners. 

Mabel  Normand  in  an  ermine  wrap  looked 
well  and  happy.  Natacha  Rambova  made  her 
usual  striking  appearance  in  her  draped  turban. 
Clive  Brook  and  John  Roche  were  among  the 
most  popular  dancing  partners. 

After  the  dinner  and  some  dancing,  the 
Warner  Brothers'  newest  opus.  "Lady  Winder- 
mere's Fan,"  was  run  off  for  the  guests.  In  this 
picture  Irene  Rich  makes  a  departure  from  her 
customary  misunderstood  wife  parts.  She 
plays  Mrs.  Erlynnc.  a  mercenary  vamp,  and 
wears  a  bobbed  wig.  Everyone  exclaimed  over 
how  well  Miss  Rich  looks  with  bobbed  hair,  and 
she  confessed  she  is  dying  to  cut  her  own — but 
the  Rich  sisters  and  the  Warner  brothers  say  no. 

TT  was  during  a  temporary  slump 
"Nvhich  sometimes  comes  in  the 
motion  picture  business. 

A  cameraman  who  was  out  of  work 
called  up  a  well  known  star  whom  he 
had  often  photographed  in  the  past, 
and  asked  him  if  he  knew  where  he 
could  find  a  job. 

Said  the  star:  "If  I  knew  where 
there  was  a  job,  I'd  borrow  a  camera 
and  take  it  myself." 

NOW  that  all  doubts  regarding  the  authen- 
ticity of  her  husband's  title  have  been 
removed.  Gloria  Swanson  has  settled  down  to  a 
quiet  homey  life  with  the  Marquis,  in  $15,000 
a  year  quarters  on  the  top  floor  of  the  fashion- 
able Park  View  Apartments,  in  the  heart  of 
New  York. 

In  addition  to  the  rent,  Gloria  will  pay 
$3,000  a  year  for  the  use  of  a  private  elevator 
shut  off  from  all  the  others. 

Her  furniture  includes  many  importations 
from  France,  among  which  are  pieces  formerly 
in  the  possession  of  the  mother  of  the  Marquis. 
One  is  a  spinnet  said  to  have  belonged  to  Marie 
Antoinette. 

Gloria  signed  a  five  year  lease  when  she

"I  do,"  said  Constance  Talmadge  when  she  took  the  final  oath  in  the 
naturalization  ceremony  that  restored  her  United  States  citizenship 
recently.  Connie  lost  it  under  the  law,  since  repealed,  that  a  wife 
assumes    her    husband's    nationality.      You    recall    she    married    John 

Pialoglou,  a  Greek 


moved  into  the  new  apartment,  so  it  looks  as  if 
she  will  make  her  pictures  in  New  York  for 
some  time  to  come. 

OVERHEARD  on  Hollywood 
Boulevard,  the  Great  White  Way 
of  the  picture  village : 

"Sure,  I  know  the  producer.  Why, 
he's  so  important  he  could  sit  in  his 
office  in  Culver  City  and  scratch  his 
head  in  Hollywood." 

IF  all  the  umbrellas  checked  at  the  Strand 
Theater  in  New  York  on  a  certain  Sunday 
afternoon  last  month  were  laid  end  to  end.  they 
would  reach  wherever  things  laid  end  to  end 
reach.  Which  is  a  neat  way  of  saying  that 
several  thousand  people  defied  a  heavy  down- 
pour to  see  the  opening  of  Rudolph  Valentino's 
latest  picture,  "The  Eagle."' 

If  Rudy  had  any  doubts  as  to  his  popularity, 
they  were  dispelled  in  the  thunderous  applause 
that  greeted  the  sheik  as  he  took  his  place  in 
the  box  at  the  theater.  The  mob  thumped 
their  palms  vigorously  in  the  hope  that  he 
would  lake  a  bow.  But  he  didn't;  he  was  try- 
ing to  remember  the  speech  he  had  to  give 
after  the  show. 

But  his  memory  failed  him.  So  he  just  came 
out  on  the  stage  at  the  finish  of  the  picture,  and 
talked.  He  admitted  frankly  that  he  knew  his 
popularity  was  ebbing,  but  hoped  with  a  few 
more  pit  lures  like  "  The  Eagle"  to  win  back  the 
friends  that  were  slipping. 

After  the  showing,  Mr.  Valentino  held  a  re- 
ception in  his  suite  at  the  Ritz,  where  he 
greeted  his  Broadway  friends  after  a  year's 
absence.  Mae  Murray,  looking  sixteen  in  a 
jaunty  leather  raincoat  ami  turban,  came  in. 
Also  Leatrice  Joy,  just  arrived  in  New  York  for 
the  first  time  in  three  years,  with  her  mannish 
haircut. 

Rudy  held  the  same  sandwich  all  during  the 
party;  every  time  he  tried  to  bite  it  somebody 
was  introduced. 

NAUGHTY  Lois  Wilson  is  flaunting  her  new 
independence  in  the  faces  of  the  admiring 
Fifth  Avenue  strollers  these  fine  winter  days. 
You  know  Lois  has  rebelled  against  the  Elsie 
Dinsmore  stigma  that  has  clung  to  her  so  long.

— I  shudder  to  say  it — she  wears  almost  to  her 

knas: 

■D  ICHARD  RARTHELMESS  was  terribly 
-t^-tipsel  recently  when  one  of  his  maids  tele- 
phoned him  to  come  home  immediately,  that 
something  awful  had  happened  to  his  daughter 
and  they  had  to  chloroform  her  to  get  it  out. 

"  Get  what  out  of  when  f  "  shrieked  Dick,  but 
the  agitated  maid  had  hung  up. 

So  shooting  on  "Just  Suppose"  was  suddenly 
halted  while  the  star  dashed  hatless  into  a  taxi. 

It  seemed  little  Mary  Hay  had  I  een  making 
a  dress  for  her  dolly.  Becoming  slightly  bored, 
she  amused  herself  by  pushing  buttons  up  her 
nose.  One  of  them  lodged  beyond  recall  by  the 
frantic  nurse,  and  the  doctor  was  called.  It 
was  feared  the  button  might  slip  into  the  child's 
windpipe.  An  anaesthetic  was  administered 
and  the  offending  object  retrieved. 

All  was  over  but  the  shouting — and  there 
was  plenty  of  that — when  papa  arrived. 

T/"NOW  who  was  the  very  first  person  to  be 
"■photographed  by  a  motion  picture  camera? 

Cissy  Fitzgerald. 

It  was  in  1806.  Thomas  A.  Edison  was  ex- 
perimenting with  his  kinetoscope  —  the 
machine  that  made  motion  pictures  practical — 
and  he  engaged  a  young  stage  actress  to  dance 
before  his  camera  for  a  test  film.  Cissy  Fitz- 
gerald was  this  girl  ami  the  film  of  the  dance 
she  performed  for  the  Wizard  proved  to  be  the 
first  successful  motion  picture  of  the  present 
type  ever  made. 

Cissy  of  the  naughty  wink  is  still  performing 
for  the  movie  camera.  She  is  working  in 
Hollywood  at  present  with  Priscilla  Dean  in  a 
new  picture  called  "The  Danger  Girl." 

CHARLIE  CHAPLIN  announced 
at  a  luncheon  party  in  honor  of  a 
visiting  author  that  he,  Chaplin  I 
mean,  cuts  his  own  hair.  The  come- 
dian may  have  expected  a  storm  of 
disbelief,  but  it  didn't  follow.  Every- 
one present  accepted  his  words  for 
truth  and,  after  taking  another  look 
at  Charlie's  hair,  I  was  inclined  to 
believe  it  myself.

HAVEN'T  you  often  wished,  while  watch- 
ing a  good  movie,  that  it  would  go  on  and 
on  and  never  stop  —  that  you  could  take  it 
home  with  you  and  see  it  again  and  again — 
that  you  could  know  better  those  characters 
whose  shadows  flitted  across  the  screen — and 
know  more  of  the  romantic  setting  of  the  story? 

Nearly  always — 9  times  out  of  10 — when  it 
is  a  good  movie,  it  has  been  made  from  a  good 
novel— usually  a  Qrosset  &  Dunlap  75c  book. 

These  books,  from  which  come  your  favorite 
pictures,  fulfill  your  desire  for  more  of  the  story 
that  flits  off  into  darkness  on  the  screen.  More 
about  the  characters,  fascinating  descriptions 
of  the  scenes,  the  snowy  wildernesses  of  the 
North,  the  languorous  isles  of  the  South  Seas, 
the  smart  world  of  fashion. 

Many  hours  of  magic  entertainment,  all 
bound  between  the  covers  of  a  book — a  Qrosset 
&  Dunlap  75c  book— the  secret  of  enjoying  the 
films  over  and  over  again  in  a  comfortable 
armchair  by  your  own  fireside ! 

r  Nine  times  out  of  ten  —  when  the  picture  has  - 

i     been   made   from  a  book,  you  can  go  to  your

Who  said  telephone  operators  are  slow?  The  voice  with  the  smile  at 
Universal  City  conceived  this  idea  of  using  the  stars'  photographs  instead 
of  numbers   to   indicate   their   telephones.      How   many   faces   do   you 

recognize? 


A  ND  speaking  of  Charlie  Chaplin's  hair-cut 
-**-reminds  me  of  another  hair-cut — or  rather 
a  threatened  one — which  is  causing  a  great  stir 
in  the  film  world. 

Following  a  recent  announcement  that 
Jackie  Coogan  was  about  to  cut  his  Dutch  bob 
and  have  a  regular  man's  hair-cut,  Pa  Coogan 
has  been  so  besieged  with  requests  for  locks  of 
Jackie's  hair  that  he  is  planning  to  lay  in  a 
supply  of  hair  mattresses  to  tear  them  up  so 
that  none  of  the  clamoring  fans  need  be  dis- 
appointed. 

T\TO,  it  wasn't  a  Rolls-Royce  or  an  imported 
■*-^  super-model,  but  a  plain,  ordinary,  com- 
monplace, every-day  Ford  coupe  in  which 
Richard  Dix  met  his  Waterloo. 

Dick  and  his  dad  were  bowling  merrily  along 
in  the  little  car  on  their  way  to  the  depot, 
where  Richard  was  to  embark  for  the  Last, 
when  along  came  a  bold  bad  truck  and  crashed 
into  them,  lacerated  poor  Richard's  legs.  Dad 
Dix's  arms  and  knocked  the  flivver  for  a  row  of 
ashcans.  However,  Richard's  injuries  were  not 
serious  enough  to  incapacitate  him  for  any 
great  length  of  time  and  he  left  for  Xew  York — 
with  a  decided  limp — four  days  later. 

Vote  for  Richard  Dix,  the  Workingman's 
Friend!    lie  drives  a  Ford!! 

TPHE  most  popular  guessing  game  of  the 
*■  moment  in  Hollywood  is  being  played 
ardently — and  confusedly — by  onlookers.  The 
subjects  are  the  ex-benedicts  and  ex-fraus  of 
the  film  folk. 

The  other  night  at  the  Montmartre  I  saw 
Emory  Johnson  and  Ella  Hall  dancing  bliss- 
fully together,  quite  as  if  there  never  had  1  een 
any  rude  divorce  proceedings  between  them. 

And  before  Mae  Murray  left  for  Europe  it 
was  common  gossip  that  she  and  Hob  Leonard 
dined  together  as  often  as  three  times  a  week  in 
a  remote  little  French  restaurant  far  from 
turbulent  Hollywood,  where  the  serene  moun- 


tains of  Pasadena  gave  an  old-world  color  to 
their  meetings. 

So  you  see  the  most  popular  game  is  guess- 
ing when  .  .  .  and  if  .  .  .  and  where  .  .  . 
the  wedding  bells  are  going  to  re-peal  fo.-  these 
parted  couples. 

A  LL  is  not  hale  and  hearty  in  the  home  of 
■*  "-the  Creighton  Hales.    A  divorce  judge  split 

the  union  the  other  day — reason  unknown.  But 
we  do  know  that  Creighton  is  an  able  sax- 
ophonist. 

And  Alma  Bennett  —  with  the  glorious 
shoulders — is  seeking  to  regain  her  freedom 
from  Hubby  Fred  Bennett  who.  in  addition  to 
being  her  husband,  was  her  step-uncle  as  well. 
The  matrimonial  hodge-podge  resulted  from 
the  marriage  of  Alma  and  her  mother  to  Fred 
and  Charles  Bennett,  brother  realty  operators. 

I  hope  her  liberty  bonds  will  bring  Alma 
back  into  pictures.  A  girl  with  a  spinal  column 
like  hers  should  not  be  kept  from  the  screen. 
Remember  her  in  "Lilies  of  the  Field"? 

HTHAXKSGIYIXG  Day  was  celebrated  in  a 
*~  very  original  way  this  year  by  Diana  Miller 
and  George  Melford,  when  the  titian-haired 
actress  became  Mrs.  George  Melford.  wife  of 
the  director  who  has  just  completed  "Rocking 
Moon."  Upon  completion  of  a  feature  entitled 
"Honeymoon,"  in  which  Mrs.  Melford  will 
co-star  with  Mr.  Melford,  the  locale  of  which 
will  be  in  the  North,  the  director  will  com- 
mence upon  a  screen  version  of  "Ship- 
wrecked'' for  Metropolitan  Pictures,  to  whom 
he  is  contracted.  The  title  of  the  latter  picture 
refers  entirely,  of  course,  to  his  next  film! 

A  new  home  in  Beverly  Hills  awaits  the  bliss- 
ful couple  upon  their  return  to  Southern  Cal- 
ifornia. If  you  are  a  devotee  of  the  divorce 
page  you  will  recall  that  some  time  ago  Diana 
Miller  won  her  freedom  from  William  Boyd, 
who  is  now  a  De  Mille  contract  player.  Mel- 
ford has  also  been  married  before.

V\  7 ALTER  FUTTER,  formerly  in  charge  of 
**  the  Cosmopolitan  film  editing  department 
and  who  supervised  the  editing  of  such  pictures 
as  "Janice  Meredith,"  "The  Great  White 
Way"  and  "Yolanda,"  has  graduated  to  the 
rank  of  producer.  He  has  an  educational 
release  and  will  start  with  something  new  in 
the  way  of  one-reel  comedies. 

T"^AN  KELLY,  the  casting  director  at  First 
■■-^National,  has  been  dashing  madly  about 
these  last  few  weeks  with  a  tapeline  in  hand 
and  a  worried  frown  on  his  brow.  His  quest 
has  been  a  girl  with  thirty-six  hips  and  a  boyish 
figure.  Now  there  is  a  difference  between 
slimness  and  boyishness,  as  he  found,  and  the 
difference  is  more  than  likely  to  be  downright 
skinniness.  But  he  finally  found  a  girl  in  the 
shape  of  Evelyn  Francisco,  blonde  Betty's 
brunette  sister,  to  fill  the  role. 

The  girl  of  the  small  hips  is  to  appear  in  the 
fashion  parade — and  it's  to  be  some  promenade! 
— that  is  an  important  sequence  in  Colleen 
Moore's  picture  "Irene."  and  the  costume  she 
is  to  wear  is — scant — to  say  the  least. 

It  is  a  water  lily  creation  with  large  waxen 
petals  cupping  about  her  head,  and  Boating 
green  leaves  and  tendrils  drip  down.  Of  course 
there  is  more  to  the  costume — green  slippers,  to 
be  exact! 

You  can  imagine  what  an  Apollo-like  Venus 
the  girl  had  to  be. 

A  CO/A'  little  jewel  of  a  theater  was  opened 
-*Mhc  other  night  \\  hen  "The  Road  to  Yester- 
day" made  ifV  first  Los  Angeles  appearance. 
Confetti  and  lights  were  showered  in  profusion 
and  the  celebrities  scurried  in  to  avoid  the 
blinding  snowstorm  of  finely  cut  paper. 

Someone  with  a  good  sense  of  the  fitting  gave 
the  theater  the  euphonious  name  of  "The 
I'igueroa"  instead  of  an  ornate  and  snappy 
moniker  such  as  "The  Grand."  So  art  does 
live. 

The  gold  and  tan  coloring  of  the  theater 
formed  a  sympathetic  background  for  the  soft 
luxurious  furs  worn  by  the  feminine  guests.  1 
saw  Diana  Miller,  in  cocoa  caracul,  with 
George  Melford;  Vera  Reynolds,  all  smothered 


in  white  ermine,  a  marshmallow  with  curly 
brown  thatch  of  hair:  Lillian  Rich  in  dashing 
Spanish  shawl;  Cecil  DeMille's  daughters  in 
shawls,  and  Mrs.  DeMille  handsomely  patri- 
cian in  gray.  Too  bad  C.  B..  whose  picture  was 
being  displayed,  was  not  in  town  to  see  the  gala 
event,  but  a  location  trip  interfered. 

-pNOROTHY  MACKAILL  notified  her  bosses 
-'—'that  she  intends  to  go  to  England  for  a 
vacation  in  April. 

She  has  not  been  back  since  she  left  there 
several  years  ago  with  a  slim  purse  and  a  great 
ambition  to  become  famous  on  the  stage. 

Dorothy  wants  to  visit  her  former  home  and 
see  all  the  new  babies  of  her  old  friends. 

HAVING  been  inspired  by  a  recent  visit 
from  none  other  than  Big  Bill  Tilden.  the 
world's  best  tennis  player,  the  Hollywood  film 
colony  tennis  devotees  have  organized  a  tennis 
tournament  which  is  now  in  the  process  of 
being  very  hotly  contested. 

The  matt  lies  are  being  played  off  on  Florence 
Yidor's  tennis  courts,  and  a  large  and  hand- 
some silver  cup  has  been  provided  for  the 
winners  of  the  first  series  of  matches,  which  are 
mixed  doubles. 

Competing  teams  at  present  are:  Ronald 
Colman  ami  Ivy  Shilling.  George  Fit/maurice 
ami  Florence  Vidor,  John  Considine  and 
Catherine  Bennett,  Evan  St.  Johns  and  Enid 
Bennett.  Fred  Niblo  and  Adela  Rogers  St. 
Johns.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Douglas  MacLean.  Irving 
Thalberg  ami  Norma  Shearer,  and  Edmund 
Lowe  and  Lilyan  Tashman. 

DAVID  BELASCO,  dean  of  theater  im- 
presarios, seems  to  hold  Xornia  Talmadge 
in  the  same  high  regard  as  does  Adela  St. 
Johns.  Upon  Norma  s  decision  to  produce 
"  Kiki."  Mr.  Belasco  sent  her  a  congratulatory 
wire  in  which  he  declared  that  "no  other 
actress  of  the  cinema  today  could  play  this 
character  with  the  artistry  and  faithfulness  of 
interpretation"  of  Miss  Talmadge.

siders an  All-American  eleven  that  could  lick 
any  other  selected  group  of  men  in  the  country. 
Douglas  MacLean  spent  his  fall  vacation 
traveling  around  the  country  seeing  football 
games,  football  being  his  favorite  outdoor 
sport,  and  in  this  cross  country  journey  he  has 
seen  the  leading  teams  of  most  of  the  different 
sections  in  action.  He  has  seen  Dartmouth. 
Illinois,  Harvard,  Princeton,  Stanford. 
Chicago,  California,  Colgate,  Pennsylvania, 
and  U.  S.  C  in  action.  This  is  the  team  he  has 
chosen,  with,  of  course,  the  explanation  that  he 
has  selected  only  such  players  as  he  has  actually 
seen  play.  But  he  still  thinks  they  would  win 
most  football  games.

Of  course  Grange,  Xevers,  Lea,  Oberlander 
and  Swan  are  sure  selections  on  even'  All- 
American.  The  rest  will  probably  be  on  some 
of  them,  while  such  players  as  Joss  of  Yale  and 
Friedman  of  Michigan,  whom  Doug  didn't  see. 
will  probably  get  a  berth. 

Just  the  same,  the  picture  industry  doesn't 
need  to  be  ashamed  of  its  . Mi-American  picker. 

TpWO  more  young  scenario  writers  have  this 
*■  month  graduated  into  the  ranks  of  motion 
picture  directors.  Willis  Goldbeck,  who  did 
the  scenarios  on  "Peter  Pan"  and  "Scar- 
amouche,"  has  been  selected  by  Paramount  to 
direct  Michael  Arlen's  first  screen  story,  "The 
Ace  of  Cads."  Howard  Hawks,  once  scenario 
head  for  Famous  Players-Lasky,  and  super- 
vising editor  for  Metro-Goldwyn  Mayer,  is 
just  starting  his  firsl  production  for  Fox.  It  is 
an  original  story  of  his  own. 

'  |  ''JtJLh  sixteen  young  hopefuls  of  the  Para* 

•*-  mount  School  of  Acting  have  graduated  and 
are  actually  at  work  on  their  first  motion 
picture.  It  is  to  be  called  "Glorious  Youth," 
and  is  being  directed  by  Gloria  Swanson's 
former  director,  Sam  Wood. 

This  production  is  going  to  determine  the 


fates  of  the  young  students.  Already  several 
have  proved  their  worth  and  have  been  invited 
to  sign  contracts  with  the  Famous  Players- 
Lasky  Company. 

Besides  the  students,  several  Paramount 
stars  will  play  important  parts  in  the  picture. 

'"THE  screen  comedians  want  to  look  to  their 
■*■  laurels.  Edward  Everett  Horton.  whom 
you  will  remember  in  "The  Beggar  on  Horse- 
back," has  abandoned  his  first  love,  the  stage, 
and  is  to  devote  all  his  time  to  pictures.  Up 
until  now.  Eddie  has  sandwiched  pictures  in 
daytimes  while  he  played  in  the  theater  at 
night,  but  the  screen  has  made  him  such 
attractive  offers  that  he's  really  going  to  take 
it  up  seriously,  and  not  just  as  a  sideline.  And 
believe  me.  when  Eddie  Horton  starts  being 
funny  on  the  screen  seriously. even  Harold  Lloyq 
will  have  to  watch  out. 

"HXOUGLAS  MACLEAN  wOl  return  to  the 
-^-'rollicking  type  of  comedy  similar  to  "The 
Hottentot"  and  "Going  Up"  in  his  next 
picture.  "That's  My  Baby."  which  he  will 
start  immediately.  Once  again  Doug  will  be 
seen  as  the  infatuated  young  man  who  is 
forced  to  win  the  girl  against  overwhelming 
odds.  And  of  course  there  will  be  a  stray  baby 
in  the  yarn — maybe  two — and  some  airplane 
thrills  which  will  match  if  not  surpass  those  in 
"Going  Up." 

T  ITTLE  Tim  ami  Hetty  Holt  will  have  their 
-'-'first  chance  to  throw  snowballs  at  Santa 
Claus  this  year.  Accompanied  by  Mrs.  Jack 
Holt,  they  are  making  a  winter  visit  at  the 
home  of  Mrs.  Holt's  lather  at  Wolf  Neck 
Farms,  on  Cosco  Bay,  near  Portland.  Maine. 
Jack  Holt  will  join  his  family  for  Christmas 
and  return  with  them  to  Hollywood  sometime 
in  January. 

HAROLD  LLOYD  and  Joe  Merrick,  genial 
comedy  man.  recently  dropped  in  at  a 
neighborhood  theater  to  see  Lloyd's  "The

what  Edison's  invention  was  going 
to  do  to  his  career.  Herbert  was  a

WHEN,  about  twenty  years  from  now.  they 
begin  to  write  biographies  of  the  screen 
from  the  necessary  distance  to  give  them  per- 
spective, one  of  the  figures  that  is  going  to 
Stand  out  as  Disraeli  stood  out  from  the 
Victorian  age,  is  Adolph  Zukor,  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Famous  Players-Lasky  Com- 
pany. 

Here  is  a  typical  story  of  him  they  may  use 
if  they  like: 

During   the   recent   fight   against   Famous, 
charging  an  attempt  to  illegally  control  the 
motion  picture  industry,  a  certain  New  York 
newspaper  printed  some  articles  al  out  Adolph 
Zukor.     The  first  one  was  far  from  compli- 
mentary.   It  called  him  the  film  octopus  and 
various  of  the  stereotyped  names  for  financial 
ts,  and  with  the  story  it  printed  a  picture 
of  Mr.  Zukor— taken  some  ten  years  ago — 
i wring  a  derby  hat.    One  of  his  under  chiefs 
,iven  the  task  of  taking  the  paper  in  to 
Zukor,  which  he  did  with  some  tremblings,  and 
-ome  regrets,  since,  in  common  with  the 
of  the  organization,  he  adores  the  little 
man. 

Zukor  looked  the  paper  over,  and  an  expres- 
sion of  utter  anguish  came  over  his  coun- 
tenance. 

"I  don't  mind  the  story,"  he  said,  suddenly, 
"but  oh — that  hat  is  terrible!" 

T-HEDA  BARA,  arriving  in  Xew  York  to  do 
*■  -ome  shopping,  refused  to  be  interviewed. 
"  No."  said  Theda  via  the  telephone,  "  I  just

'  off-color"  teeth 

when  that  dingy  film  is  removed 

Accept  this  remarkable  dental  test.  You'll 
gain  the  dazzling  white  teeth  and  coral-like 
gums  that  make  smiles  attractive  and  inviting 


MODERN     dental     science     has 
made     important,    recent     dis- 
coveries   in    lightening   cloudy   teeth. 

In  a  few  days  you  can  work  great 
changes  in  the  color  of  your  teeth: 
can  give  them  dazzling  whiteness,  and 
your  gums  the  healthy  coral  tint  you 
envy. 

If  you  seek  new  beauty  and  new 
charm,  test  this  new  way.  Do  as  mil- 
lions are  doing  on  dental  advice.  Mul- 
tiply the  value  of  your  smile.  Mail 
the  coupon.  A  10-day  test  will  be 
sent  you. 

Benea  th  the  film  are 
gleaming,  glorious  teeth 

Run  3-our  tongue  across  your  teeth, 
and  you  will  feel  a  film,  a  viscous  coat 
that  covers  them. 

That  film  is  an  enemy  to  your  teeth 
— and  your  gums.  You  must  remove  it. 

It  clings  to  teeth,  gets  into  crevices 
and  stays.    It   absorbs   discolorations 
and  gives  your  teeth  that 
cloudy  "off-color"  look. 

Germs  by  the  millions 
breed  in  it  and  lay  your 
teeth  open  to  decay.  And 
they,  with  tartar,  are  a 
chief  cause  of  pyorrhea 
and  gum  disorders. 

Tooth  troubles  and 
gum  troubles  now  are 
largely    traced    to    that 


film.  Old-time  methods  fail  in  suc- 
cessfully combating  it.  That's  why, 
regardless  of  the  care  you  take  now, 
your  teeth  remain  unattractive. 

New  methods  remove  it. 
And  Firm  the  Gums 

Now,  in  a  new-type  dentifrice  called 
Pepsodent,  dental  science  has  discov- 
ered effective  combatants.  Their  ac- 
tion is  to  curdle  the  film  and  remove 
it,  then  to  firm  the  gums. 

Ordinary  methods  fail  in  these  re- 
sults. Thus  the  world  has  turned, 
largely  on  dental  advice,  to  this  new 
method. 

What  you  see  when  that  film  is  re- 
moved— the  whiteness  of  your  teeth — 
will  amaze  you. 

You  are  simply  hiding  the  natural 
beauty  of  your  teeth.

Not  a  Hollywood  love  nest  but  Frederick  Arnold  Kummer's  new 

home  in  Baltimore.     Mr.  Kummer  .wrote  "That  Terrible  Thorne 

Girl"  and  "It  Can't  Be  Done"  for  Photoplay.     After  that  he  had 

money  enough  to  live  like  a  star.    This  is  the  result 


won't  do  it.  I  must  refuse  to  be  interviewed. 
The  day  I  arrived  here  some  reporters  met  me 
at  my  train.  I  talked  to  them  and  they  didn't 
print  nice  things  about  me  at  all.  One  of  them 
said  lovely  things  to  me,  but  when  the  inter- 
view was  published,  right  down  at  the  end  of  it 
it  was  awfully  catty." 

Theda  did  impart  the  information,  astonish- 
ing as  it  may  seem,  that  she  is  under  contract 
to  Hal  Roach  to  make  two-reel  comedies.  The 
pictures  will  be  made  in  Hollywood,  the  Xew 
York  visit  being  two  weeks  long  and  for  the 
sole  purpose  of  purchasing  clothes. 

So  though  Theda  remained  invisible,  this 
much  may  be  reported.  Her  voice  is  lovely,  a 
soft,  beautifully  modulated  voice  such  as  few 
stars  possess. 

THE  dressing  room  of  the  Ritz  Carlton, 
always  New  York's  center  of  smartly 
dressed  women,  was  dazzled  the  day  Rudy 
Valentino  gave  a  tea  part}',  to  behold  a  beauti- 
ful girl,  gowned  in  scarlet,  enter.  Dainty  Mae 
Murray,  smartly  clad  in  a  tiny  tan  leather  coat 
and  hat;  Leatrice  Joy,  modish  as  Paris  in  her 
sleek  new  haircut,  were  both  forgotten  for  the 
moment  while  the  crowd  tried  to  catch  the  face 
of  the  lady  in  scarlet.    Then  she  turned. 

It  was  Lois  Wilson. 

Lois  dimpled  as  she  heard  the  gasps  of 
astonishment.  "It's  the  most  wonderful  thing 
in  the  world  to  have  a  sister  just  my  size,"  she 
giggled.  "Nobody  ever  expects  me  to  wear 
gay  things.  Diana  wears  them,  though,  and 
her  clothes  fit  me  perfectly.  So,  behold  me  clad 
in  one  of  her  gowns — and  I  must  say  I  like 
myself  in  it  very  much." 

THE  lights  had  come  up  over  the  Astoi 
Theater,  throwing  into  high  visibility  the 
dense  throng  of  actors,  writers,  directors,  ex- 
ecutives and  society  people  present  for  the  Xew 
York  showing  of  "The  Big  Parade."  It  was 
the  intermission  between  the  first  and  second 
half  of  the  picture  and  the  applause  of  the 
crowd  still  shook  the  theater. 

Two  exhibitors  were  sitting  together  far  back 
in  tin'  theater.  They  were  young  men.  each  of 
whom  guided  the  destiny  of  a  small  city  play- 
house. 

"Saw"  whispered  the  one  in  accents  trem- 
bling with  awe,  "do  you  think  they'll  sell  this 
film  to  us?" 

"Sure  they  will  sell  it."  answered  the  other. 
"but  by  the  inch,  boy,  by  the  inch,  and  at 
about  three  dollars  an  inch,  too." 


TT  was  the  night  of  the  day  that  Natacha 
-^-Rambova  returned  from  Europe.  The  place 
was  the  Winter  Garden.  New  York  City.  The 
show  was  "Artists  and  Models."  the  most  un- 
dressed revue  Broadway  has  yet  witnessed. 

There  before  your  scribe  were  two  heads,  a 
fair  blonde  girlish  head  and  a  dark  shining 
masculine  head.  Shades  of  Natacha  Rambova 
Valentino,  it  was  Rudy.  But  the  blonde  was 
not  Natacha. 

The  blonde  was  Connie  TaLmadge. 

JAP  houseboys — with  their  bland  imperturb- 
ability and  ability  to  juggle  the  language — 
usually  furnish  a  laugh.  Tully  Marshall's  boy 
did.  although  at  the  time  it  was  most  annoying. 

Tully  was  working  in  two  pictures  at  once. 
One  was  being  filmed  at  the  United  Studio, 
which  is  several  leagues  away  from  Universal 
City  where  the  other  was  being  canned.  The 
Universal  assistant  director  phoned  the  Mar- 
shall residence: 

"Have  Mr.  Marshall  report  tomorrow  morn- 
ing at  7:30  to  Universal."  the  assistant  told  the 
houseboy. 

"Ya-as,"  replied  the  boy. 

Tully  returned  to  the  house. 

"The  studio  he  call  and  say  you  be  there  in 
the  morning.'   faithfully  repeated  Togo. 

"What  studio?" 

"U-U-U-Uni.  .  .  ." 

"United?"  queried  Tullv. 

"Ya-as!" 

Tully  was  very  late  to  his  7:50  call  at 
Universal  the  following  morning. 

DOUGLAS  MacLEAN.  like  Lois  Wilson, 
has  decided  to  reform.  No  longer  will  he 
permit  his  press  agent  to  bill  him  as  a  minister's 
son — just  a  nice,  wholesome  boy.  Indeed  not. 
A  regular  devil  from  now  on.  that's  Doug's 
ambition. 

He  fired  his  first  shot  the  other  day  when  I 
asked  him  to  say  a  few  words  in  favor  of  a 
certain  face  powder  which  is  having  quite  a  run 
with  the  ladies.  The  advertising  department 
wanted  to  quote  him. 

"Sure."  says  Doug.  "Just  tell  the  world  it 
tastes  better  than  any  other  and  brushes  oil  a 
dark  suit  easily!" 

PERHAPS  the  greatest  thought  of  the  month 
is  one  gleaned  from  the  publicity  of  one  of 
the  large  picture  companies.  This  w:rld- 
reVolutionizing  statement  was  sent  out  by  them 
to  this  publication  early  last  month.

No,  sir,  that's  not  my  baby.  That's 
Harry  Langdon.  Remember  Harry 
when  he  made  two-reelers?  He's 
signed  for  full  length  comedies 
now  with  First  National.  He  seems 
to  be  starting  at  the  bottom,  hop- 
ing to  grow  up  with  the  firm 


•'Alter  an  exhaustive  survey  that  has  been 
nation-wide  in  its  extent,"  it  read,  "it  has  been 
found  out  that  the  motion  picture  public  wants 
the  unusually  unusual  in  cinema  entertain- 
ment." 

THE  Photoplay  monthly  pri/.e  for  mixed 
metaphors — no,  Angeline,  they  are  nothing 
like  Scotch  highballs — goes  to  this  choice  bit  of 
publicity  anent  Harry  Langdon. 

Announcing  that  Harry  was  about  to  become 
one  of  those  five-reel  comics,  this  was  said: 

"Just  what  sort  of  picture  Harry  Langdon  is 
going  to  make  is  not  as  yet  known.  Only  his 
inner  office  knows.  He  wants  to  be  completely 
sure  of  his  vehicle  before  he  makes  known  its 
contents." 

EVERY  actress  has  at  one  time  or  another 
revealed  that  one  of  her  suppressed  desires 
is  to  be  a  comedienne. 

But  Leatrice  Joy  can  prove  that  she  is  sincere

THIS  group  of  models  shows  the 
unequalled  variety  and  charm  of 
Warner  designs  for  small  figures,  all  of 
which  emphasize  a  tendency  to  round 
the  figure  slightly  as  well  as  to  suppress 
specific  faults.  Exclusive  principles  of 
designing  make  possible  a  feminine 
allure  of  line  which  is  in  harmony  with 
the  mode  of  the  moment.  In  a  Warner 
Wrap-around*  or  Oriental*  (worn  with 
a  deliciously  dainty  Egyptian*  — an  ex- 
clusive Warner  bandeau)  the  natural 
figure  loses  none  of  its  freedom  or 
grace.  Its  faults  magically  disappear,  its 
attractiveness  is  adorably  emphasized. 
The  range  of  Warner  styles  is  varied, 
for  slender  as  well  as  larger  figures,  and 
in  each  the  same  luxurious  comfort  is 
combined  with  an  equal  perfection  of 
contour. 

Warner  products  are  sold  practically 
everywhere.  Your  own  store  will  ad-

Be  a  Master  of 
JAZZ  and  RAGTIME 


Anyone  who  can  remember  a  tune  can 
easily  and  quickly  learn  to  play  Jazz,  Rag- 
time and  Popular  Songs  by  ear,  at  a  very 
small  cost.  New  Niagara  Method  makes 
piano  playing  ■wonderfully  simple. 

No  matter  how  Jittfe  you  know  about  music — 
even   though    you    "have   never  touched  a 
piano" — if  you  can  just  remember  a  tune, 
you  can   learn  to  play  by  ear  at  home. 
I    have    perfected    an    entirely  new 
system.     It   is  so  simple,  so   easy, 
and  shows  you  so  many  little  tricks 
of  playing  that  it  just  comes  natural 
to  pick  out  on  the  piano  any  piece 
that  is  running  through  your  mind. 
Even  those  who  could  not  learn  by 
the  old-fashioned  method  grasp  the 
NIAGARA    idea    readily,  and 
follow    through    the    entire    course 
of   twenty   lessons  quickly. 


Play  By  Ear  in  9  0  D  ays 


No  need  to  devote  years  to  study,  in  order  to  learn 
piano  nowadays.  Neither  is  special  talent  necessary. 
Every  lesson  is  so  easy,  so  interesting  and  fascinating 
that  you  "can't  keep  your  hands  off  the  piano."  Just 
devote  a  part  of  your  spare  time  to  it  for  ninety  days  and 
you  will  be  playing  and  entertaining  your  friends  almost 
before  you  realize  how  this  wonderful  new  accomplish- 
ment has  been  acquired.  No  tiresome  scales,  no  arpeggios 
to  learn — no  do-re-mi,  no  tiresome  practice  and  mean- 
ingless exercises.  You  learn  a  bass  accompaniment  that 
applies  to  ANY  SONG  you  play  by  ear.  Once  learned 
you  have  it  for  all  time  and  become  master  of  the  piano. 
Learn  many  new  Btyles  of  bass,  Byncopation,  blues, 
fill-ins.  breaks  and  trick  endingrs.  Musicians  are  amazed 
at  the  progress  of  Niagara  students.  Yet  it  has  never 
been  used  before  and  is  not  used  by  any  other  teacher  or 
school  today. 

Be  the  Popular  One  in  Your  Crowd 

One  who  can  sit  down  any  time  without  notes  or  maaic.  reel  off 
the  latest  jazz  and  ragtime  son**  hits  that  entertain  folks— always 
being  the  popular  one  in  the  crowd,  the  center  of  attraction,  the  life 
of  the  party,  sought  and  invited  everywhere. 

As  easily  as  hundreds  of  others  have  learned,  so  you, 
too,  can  learn  and  profit  by  it— not  only  through  the 
pleasure  it  provides,  but  also  by  playing  at  dances,  movies 
and    other    entertainments.

Here's  the  new  soft  seat  parachute 
just  perfected,  about  to  be  tried 
out  by  Marian  Harlan  of  Fox  films. 
If  you  don't  get  your  "chute  opened

when  she  says  it.  Over  at  the  old  Mack 
Sennett  Studio  is  a  screen  test  made  about  sis 
years  ago  with  Leatrice  and  a  dummy  of  Ben 
Turpin. 

Leatrice  was  a  stock  actress  in  San  Diego  at 
that  time.  Thursday  was  the  players'  day  off, 
and  every  Thursday  Leatrice  took  the  stage  to 
Los  Angeles  and  -pent  time  visiting  the  cast- 
ing offices. 

At  the  Sennett  Studio  she  was  given  a  screen 
test. 

"I'm  not  discouraged  because  I  never  heard 
from  the  test."  Leatrice  says.  "  I  wasn't  funny 
in  it.  but  that  doesn't  mean  a  thing.  An  under- 
takers' convention  is  a  college  boy  frolic  com- 
pared with  the  audience  at  a  screen  test  in  a 
comedy  studio. 

"  Mack  Sennett. a  bored  cameraman  and  two 
comedians  looked  on  and  just  dared  me  to  be 
funny.    1  wasn't." 

Leatrice  means  it  when  she  says  she  wants  to 
do  an  all-comedy  role  some  day.  directed  by 
Marshall  Xeilan.

The  mirror  Mary  Philbin  holds  vised 
to  belong  to  the  Russian  Czarina. 
It  is  worth  $15,000.  That's  not 
what  makes  this  picture  remark- 
able, however.  Mary,  a  star,  is  not 
looking  at  her  own  reflection.  Can 
such  things  be? 


0\l  of  the  rumored  reasons  for  the  post- 
ponement of  Eric  von  Stroheim's  direction 
of  "East  of  the  Setting  Sun."  starring  Con- 
stance Talmadge,  is  that  the  script  submitted 
by  Yon  to  Joseph  Schenck  contained  a  fat  part 
for  Eric — who  was  to  play  the  heavy  as  well  as 
direct  the  picture — and  a  little  "extra"  work. 
for  Connie.    The  script  is  being  rewritten. 

WHEN  Edna  Purviance  landed  in  New 
York  from  abroad  recently,  looking 
lovely  and  slim  from  some  strenuous  rubber 
girdle  reducing,  the  reporters  plied  the  former 
Chaplin  leading  lady  with  questions  as  to  her 
future  activities. 

To  which  Miss  Purviance  replied  laconically: 
"  One  never  knows,  does  one?    And  when  one 
does  what  does  one  do?" 

TIIF.  Fascist  press  in  Italy  treated  Rudolph 
Yalentino  somewhat  shabbily  during  his 
stay  there  recently.  They  are  piqued  because 
the  sheik  has  taken  steps  to  secure  American 
citizenship. 

So  when  Rudy  failed  to  contribute  a  dollar 
to  the  voluntary  fund  the  Italians  are  raising 
for  the  payment  of  the  debt  to  the  United 
States,  the  press  demanded  a  boycott  of  the 
film  star. 

AX  interesting  bit  of  news  this  month  is  that 
which  informs  us  Hal  Roach  has  signed 
Theda  Bara,  May  McAvoy  and  Lionel  Barry- 
more  to  play  in  his  two-reel  comedies.  There  is 
no  long  term  contract — just  an  agreement  for 
one  picture,  to  be  made  by  these  players  in 
their  off  time  between  big  productions.  And  if 
everybody  is  satisfied  with  the  first  comedy, 
there  will  be  others. 

A  N  occasion  unique  in  the  history  of  Sing 
■*  *-Sing  occurred  recently  when  Richard 
Barthelmess  visited  the  institution  and 
awarded  cash  prizes  in  the  contest  for  the  best 
reviews  written  by  the  prisoners,  of  "The 
Beautiful  City,''  the  star's  latest  picture. 

The  first  prize  of  S50.00  went  to  Xo.  76029 
(James  Dunn),  who  wrote  in  part: 

"  Until  witnessing  this  picture,  I  believed  the

DINNERS,  dances,  theatres,  shopping  or  the  club  — 
always  some  engagement  for  the  popular  woman  in 
the  busy  life  of  today  —  hardly  a  moment  left  for 
herself.  What  a  temptation  to  use  some  of  the  quick 
beauty  treatments    that   promise   such  marvelous   results! 

But  no  skin  can  long  remain  beautiful  unless  it  is  kept 
absolutely  clean  and  science  has  not  yet  been  able  to  produce 
a  lasting  substitute  for  soap  and  water  cleansing.  Are  you 
one  of  these  women  busy  with  countless  social  or  household 
duties,  yet  anxious  to  preserve  the  freshness  and  beauty  of 
your  complexion?  Then  begin  today  the  regular  use  of 
Resinol  Soap  and  find  your  skin  automatically  cared  for. 

There  are  three  excellent  reasons  why  this  soap  -has  for  nearly 
thirty  years  appealed  to  thousands  of  fastidious  women  and  satisfied 
every  need  of  the  skin. 

First,  it  is  a  decidedly  pleasing  toilet  soap,  giving  a  quantity 
of  creamy,  pore -searching  lather  that  thoroughly  cleanses 
the  skin  and  invigorates  it  at  the  same  time. 

Then  its  ingredients  are  absolutely  pure  and  wholesome. 
There  is  no  trace  of  free  alkali — that  harsh,  drying  chemical 
which  makes  so  many  soaps  injurious  to  the  skin  and  hair. 

But  best  of  all  it  contains  the  soothing  Resinol  properties 
which  give  it  that  distinctive,  refreshing  fragrance  and  rich 
color,  and  cause  it  to  keep  the  skin  clear  and  velvety.  It 
leaves  nothing  to  be  desired  for  a  toilet  soap. 

If  your  complexion  is  now  marred  by  blackheads,  blotches,  roughnesses, 
etc.,  apply  Resinol  and  see  how  quickly  it  clears  them  away.  This 
soothing,  healing  ointment  has  been  successfully  prescribed  for  years  for 
skin  disorders.  Itching  rashes,  slight  or  serious,  chafings,  or  the  smart 
of  a  burn,  cut  or  sore  quickly  respond  to  its  first  application.  No  home 
should  be  without  it.     All  druggists  sell  Resinol  Ointment  and

"Who  gave  you  that  ring.  Mother?"  asked 
Thomasina.  pointing  to  the  diamond. 

"My  boy  friend,"  Mrs.  Mix  said. 

"You  mean  my  daddy?"  Thomasina 
pondered. 

"I  mean  your  daddy."  Mrs.  Mix  smiled. 

"What  did  he  give  it  to  you  for?"  the  little 
girl  asked. 

"  He  gave  it  to  me  when  I  promised  to  marry 
him." 

That  information  was  not  sufficient  to  satisfy 
all  the  doubts  in  the  child's  mind,  however,  and 
after  a  few  moments'  silence,  the  questioning 
began  again.  It  started  on  the  wedding  ring

"Did  your  boy  friend  give  you  that  one, 
loo?"  Thomasina  demanded. 

"Yes,"  her  mother  agreed. 

"My  daddy?" 

"Yes." 

"Why  did  he  give  you  that  one?" 

"He  gave  me  that  one  when  I  did  marry

Thomasina  sat  back  and  eyed  her  mother  for 
a  few  moments.    Then  she  spoke. 

"Hm."  mused  Thomasina.  "It  looks  as  if

even  before  he  made  "The  Birth  of  a  Nation."

is  now  assured  of  this  for  Famous  Players  is 
allowing  him  a  preliminary  budget  totaling 
81,500,000  for  the  picture.  Chances  are  that 
the  picture,  which  will  occupy^  an  entire  year  of 
Griffith's  time,  will  cost  about  S2. 000,000. 
Written  by  Marie  Corelli  about  thirty  years 
ago,  "Sorrows  of  Satan"  created  a  literary  sen- 
sation. Although  it  does  not  rank  high  as  a 
book,  as  a  theme  for  a  huge  spectacle  it  affords 
unlimited  possibilities. 

The  setting  of  "Sorrows  of  Satan"  includes 
Paradise  and  Hell,  smart  London  society  and 
literary  circles,  a  tropical  island  and  icebergs. 
One  of  the  numerous  spectacular  scenes  is  a 
yacht  crashing  through  an  iceberg.  This  will 
be  taken  in  Greenland. 

JAMES  CRUZE  has  been  given  instructions 
to  go  the  limit  on  "Old  Ironsides."  t  ho  greatest

that  of  the  gallant  frigate  Constitution  which, 
with  the  aid  of  Stephen  Decatur,  subdued  the 
Tripoli  pirates  after  every  European  nation 
had  been  paying  them  tribute  for  years.  Al- 
though Cruzc  went  to  Tripoli  on  a  location 
hunt  it  is  possible  that  all  of  the  film  will  be 
made  near  Hollywood.  The  Constitution,  now 
in  the  Boston  Navy  Yard,  will  be  reproduced 
for  the  picture.  Laurance  Stallings,  who  wrote 
"The  Big  Parade."  will  collaborate  with  James

all  sounds!  This  was  taken  from  the  famous 
stage  play — but  the  way  the  tables  have  been 
turned  only  the  bare  skeleton  of  the  play  is 
left.  Rudy,  the  gentleman  who  was  so  pur- 
sued, poses  all  over  the  place,  feeling  quite 
satisfied  with  himself.  But  did  he  satisfy  us? 
Ha!     Ha!     Who  said  that?

Metro-Goldwyn 

TNTRODUCIN'G  Mae  Murray,  as  an  Apache, 
■Mn  a  series  of  soft-focused  close-ups.  She's 
just  as  cute  as  a  kitten's  ear  in  this  role  of  the 
youthful  gamin,  who  is  a  famous  dancer  and 
the  toast  of  the  Paris  cafes.  And  don't  let 
anybody  tell  you  Mae  can't  dance.  However, 
it  is  quite  evident  Mae  did  just  as  she  pleased 
and  one  can  plainly  see  what  Von  Stroheim's 
direction  did  for  her  in  "The  Merry  Widow."

MOVIE  producers  have  a  lot  to  learn  if  they 
think  they  can  wish  such  trash  on  the  pub- 
lic. Or  else  have  they  the  idea  that  peopie  go 
to  the  movies  to  --leep?  The  story'  centers 
around  a  girl's  sacrifice  to  protect  her  lover. 
That  much  is  O.  K.,  but  then  it  wanders  off 
very  carelessly  and  becomes  very',  very  sexy. 
And  now,  just  for  fun,  cast  your  eagle  eye  at

as  the  skin  on  your  body 
softer  and  whiter  than 
your  fact  and  hands  ? 


The  most  important  step  forward 
in  complexion  care — the  sure  way 
to  prevent  chapped,  rough  skin. 

HAVE  you  ever  wished  that  the 
skin  on  your  face  and  hands  was 
as  soft  and  smooth  as  the  skin  on 
your  body?  Most  women  have — -no 
matter  how  young  they  may  be. 
The}-  have  looked  wistfully  at  their 
body  skin — so  satin  soft  and  clear — 
and  have  wondered  if  there  isn't  a  way 
to  make  their  face  skin  just  as  lovely- 
There  is  a  way  to  stop  this  "unequal 
ageing."  Unequal  because  the  face 
skin  looks  older,  not  so  fresh  and 
lovely  as  the  body  skin.  And  that 
way  is  Frostilla  Fragrant  Lotion. 

For  over  fifty  years  women  have 
used  Frostilla  Lotion  to  keep  their 
hands  soft  and  white  in  spite  of 
housework.  Now  they  are  using  it 
to  keep  also  the  skin  of  their  face 
and  neck  white  and  smooth. 

For  Frostilla  Fragrant  Lotion  is 
the  same  as  the  moisture  Nature  sup- 
plies   through    tiny  skin    glands.     It 


does  exactly  the  same  work  as  the 
natural  moisture  of  your  body. 

You  need  Frostilla  Lotion  because 
your  own  natural  supply  is  not  enough. 
Enough  for  your  body  skin,  because 
that  is  protected  by  clothing.  But  your 
face,  neck  and  hands  are  exposed — the 
natural  moisture  is  dried  out  too 
quickly.  More  moisture — "precious 
moisture"  we  call  it — must  be  added  if 
the  skin  is  not  to  become  dry,  harsh, 
old  looking.  Frostilla  Lotion  is  the 
best  way  to  insure  this  extra  amount. 

You  need  Frostilla  Lotion  when 
cold  weather,  raw  winds  and  artifi- 
cial heat  dry  out  the  moisture  of  the 
skin,  just  as  you  need  it  for  the  hot 
sun  and  summer  burns.  By  using 
Frostilla  Lotion  regularly  you  keep 
your  complexion  as  soft  and  lovely 
as  the  skin  on  your  body.  It  is 
quickly  absorbed  without  stickiness. 
The  fragrance  is  delicate  and  alluring.

WAGES  FOR  WIVES— Fox 

ANOTHER  of  the  series  of  the  John  Golden- 
stage  successes.  A  nice  little  comedy 
drama  filled  with  human  interest.  The  story 
is  based  on  the  idea  that  husband  and  wife 
should  agree  to  a  fifty-fifty  split  on  hubby's 
wages.  Of  course  the  women  are  the  instiga- 
tors and  three  wives  decide  to  put  their  law 
into  effect.  And  then  the  fun  begins!  Jacque- 
line Logan,  Creighton  Hale,  ZaSu  Pitts, 
Claude  Gillingwater  and  several  other  popular 
players  give  sincere  performances. 

BRIGHT  LIGHTS— Metro-Goldwyn 

AFTER  a  brief  absence,  Charles  Ray  comes 
back  to  the  screen  in  the  kind  of  role  in 
which  he  made  his  fame.  A  chorus  girl,  weary" 
of  Broadway's  whirl,  goes  home  and  falls  in 
love  with  a  country'  bumpkin.  He  follows  her 
back  to  the  city  and  she  chooses  in  his  favor  in 
spite  of  a  number  of  swaggering  city  suitors. 
It  is  a  mildly  entertaining  comedy  with  the 
laughs  few  and  far  between. 

THE  SPLENDID  CRIME— Paramount 

AN  ordinary  crook  drama  of  the  girl  who 
reforms  because  of  her  admiration  for  a 
wealthy  man.  The  plot  is  devoid  of  humor, 
and  Bebe  Daniels  hasn't  the  opportunity  to 
display  her  abilities  as  a  comedienne — just 
when  we  were  all  keyed  up  over  the  way  she 
was  coming  along.  Better  luck  the  next  time, 
Bebe!  Neil  Hamilton  makes  a  charming  hero 
and  dainty  little  Anne  Cornwah'is  an  excellent 
choice  for  second  lead.  William  de  Mille  di- 
rected. 

THE  GOLDEN  COCOON— Warner  Bros. 

HEREAFTER,  my  dear  young  ladies,  if  you 
must  faint,  please  be  sure  of  the  time,  the 
place  and  all  details  connected  with  it.  Be- 
cause five  years  from  now  you  may  be  married 
to  the  governor-elect  and  all  the  crooked  poli- 
ticians will  try  and  dig  up  scandal  about  you 
to  ruin  your  husband.  A  weepy  and  draggy 
story  with  Helene  Chadwick  shedding  tears  all 
over  the  screen.  Huntley  Gordon  is  the  pros- 
perous husband.  Don't  bother  to  go  out  of 
your  way  to  see  this. 

THE  UNGUARDED  HOUR— First 
National 

DORIS  KENYON  ought  to  be  spanked.  We 
always  thought  she  showed  ability  to  act. 
Then  why  doe?  she  go  through  this  picture 
jumping,  skipping  and  pouting  like  a  child  ten 
years  old!  That  very  romantic  figure,  Sir. 
Milton  Sills,  a  woman-hater,  is  the  man  the 
aforementioned  lady  has  designs  on.  Need- 
less to  say  she  gets  her  man  just  like  the 
Mountys  in  the  Westerns.  This  plot  is  one 
of  our  pet  aversions.     Not  for  the  children. 

TIME,  THE  COMEDIAN— Metro- 
Goldwyn 

HERE  is  an  old  situation  in  such  a  nice  new 
dress  that  you  should  sec  it.  Theodore 
Kosloff,  in  cap  and  bells,  tells  you  that  Time  is 
not  an  old  man  with  a  scythe,  but  a  comedian 
who  laughs  at  the  tricks  Life  plays  on  you. 
And  he  skips  through  the  picture  chuckling  at 
the  tragedy  of  a  mother  who  discovers  an  old 
lover  making  love  to  her  daughter.  Mae 
Busch,  Lew  Cody,  Creighton  Hale  and  Ger- 
trude Olmsted  give  interesting  performances. 

THE  SCRAPPIN'  KID— Universal 

ARTACOUP  in  a  Western,  Art  rescues  and 
befriends  a  family  in  a  forest  lire.  A 
friendship  develops,  especially  for  a  certain 
member  of  the  family.  Some  mail  robbers 
come  into  the  plot — but  love  conquers  all.  Fair. 

THE  DESERT'S  PRICE— Fox 

ANY  Buck  Jones  picture  is  a  winner  with  us. 
lie's  our  favorite.     The  plot    hasn't   any 
earmarks   of   originality,    nevertheless    Buck 


makes  it  interesting.  There  are  plenty  of 
good  fights  the  boys  will  enjoy. 

WANDERING  FIRES— Arrow 

/"YVERLOOKING  the  cheap  sentiment  and 
^-Ahe  old  fashioned  melo-dramatic  emotions 
of  Wallace  MacDonald.  here  is  a  picture  that 
will  appeal  to  the  average  audience.  George 
Hackathorne  gives  an  excellent  performance  of 
a  shell-shocked  soldier.  Constance  Bennett 
always  enlightens  a  picture  and  it  is  just  a 
draw  between  her  and  George  Hackathorne  for 
the  performance  honors. 

THE  DESPERATE  GAME— Universal 

A  LL  dolled  up  like  a  movie  cowboy,  the  hero 
-'^•returns  to  his  father's  ranch  from  college. 
He  is  "razzed"  by  the  cow-punchers  but  even- 
tually proves  his  worth  and  wins  the  love  and 
admiration  of  all.  Hurrah  for  our  cowboys! 
Nothing  to  become  enthusiastic  about.  Pete 
Morrison  is  the  star. 

THE  BEST  BAD  MAN— Fox 

NOW  that  Tom  Mix  has  proven  to  be  a 
popular  box  office  attraction,  he  has  the 
idea  that  any  old  story  will  do.  A  flimsy  plot, 
and  one  not  suited  to  his  personality,  serves  as 
his  latest  vehicle.  Clara  Bow  makes  an  at- 
tractive feminine  lead.  It  will  be  pastime  for 
the  children,  but  grownups  will  be  bored  to 
death. 

THE  PERFECT  CLOWN— Chadwick 

ABOUT  the  most  atrocious  comedy  ever 
produced  by  Larry  Semon.  Had  this  been 
in  two  reels  it  would  have  been  funny,  but 
stretching  it  through  five  reels  of  supposed-to- 
be  comic  situations  is  beyond  our  conception 
of  hilarity.  It's  a  picture  the  kiddies  will  en- 
joy— but  not  grownups. 

HOGAN'S  ALLEY— Warner  Bros. 

HpHIS  month,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  we  take 
*■  great  pleasure  in  presenting  a  prize  (a  fur- 
lined  bathtub)  to  the  Warner  Bros.,  producers 
of  ''Classic  of  the  Screen,"  for  giving  to  the  pub- 
lic the  world's  worst  picture.  Even-  rcovie 
machination  has  been  dragged  into  the  plot  to 
supply  the  audience  with  thrills.  They're  such 
thrills  that  one  screams  out  laughing  at  them. 
It  starts  out  with  Patsy  Ruth  Miller  going  in 
for  the  Our  Gang  stuff,  only  to  be  rescued  by 
Monte  Blue,  a  prizefighter.  They  fall  in  love — 
and  then  the  villain  comes,  kidnaps  the  girl 
from  her  father.  The  hero  dashes  to  the  rescue 
and  here,  ladies  and  gentlemen  ....  Yes, 
this  is  a  sample  of  the  Warner  Bros'.  '"CLAS- 
SICS of  the  Screen." 

SOME  PUN' KINS— Chadwick 

RATHER  an  interesting  picture  if  you  don't 
take  it  too  seriously.  Once  again  Charles 
Ray  is  the  victim  of  his  famous  country  boob 
roles.  We  doubt  if  there  is  another  person  on 
the  screen  that  can  excel  Ray  in  this  sort  of 
role — not  that  we  mean  to  cast  any  slurs  on 
anyone  else.  There  are  plenty  of  laughs 
throughout  the  picture — and,  too,  you  can 
take  the  children. 

TUMBLEWEEDS— United  Artists 

BILL  HART  returns  to  the  screen  in  a  story 
laid  in  the  time  when  the  Indian  territory 
was  turned  over  to  the  homesteaders. 

The  scene  in  which  the  prospective  land 
owners,  wailing  for  the  cannon's  boom  which 
would  send  them  racing  in  to  stake  their 
claims,  furnished  a  brand  new  thrill.  Forty 
miles  they  had  to  cover  to  reach  the  acres  wait- 
ing for  them. 

Of  course.  Bill  Hart  on  his  black  stallion  out- 
distanced all  others  and  staked  the  choicest 
claim  for  the  girl  he  loved.  It  is  good  enter' 
tainment.

Last  Minute  Reviews 

on  pictures  released  too  late  to 
be  included  in  main  reviews 


THAT  ROYLE  GIRL     Paramount 

np HIS  picture  reached  us  too  late  to  be  in- 

-*-  eluded  in  the  best  six  of  the  month. 

Once  again  I).  \V.  Griffith  comes  forward 
with  something  different!  This  time  he  has 
selected  Chicago's  jazz  zone  as  his  locale  and 
developed  a  film  tale  \il>rant  with  action, 
powerful  in  heart  appeal,  tingling  with  sus- 
pense, touching  in  its  love  theme  and  decidedly 
gripping  in  its  climax.  While  this  is  not 
especially  a  picture  for  family  consumption. 
being  more  appropriate  for  the  sophisticates,  it 
is  entertaining  every  inch  of  it-  colorful  way. 

It  will  be  reviewed  at  greater  length  in  the 
next  issue. 

SEVEN  SINNERS— Warner  Brothers 

A  HILARIOUS  crook  yarn,  with  farcical 
-*V>ituations  that  are  irresistibly  funny.  The 
main  idea  is  the  crowding  together  of  a  bunch 
of  crooks,  each  intent  on  looting  a  mansion  left 
unguarded  by  private  watchmen.  The  com- 
plications which  arise  w  lien  they  take  each  other 
for  servants  and  people  of  the  house,  make  for 
many  hearty  laughs.  The  climax  is  capped 
when  one  of  the  crooks  goes  to  bed  with  scarlet 
fever  and  the  house  is  quarantined. 

Marie  Prevost  and  Clive  Brook  head  an  ex- 
ceptionally good  cast,  all  of  whom  do  good 
work. 

THE  GOLDEN  STRAIN— Fox 

17-EXXETH  HARLAX,  Madge  Bellamy  and 
-^V\nn  Pennington  are  in  this  worth  while 
screen  translation  of  Peter  B.  Kyne's  story  of 
the  old  West  and  the  boy  who  overcomes  his 
yellow  streak  by  riding  for  help  during  an 
Indian  attack.    Very  good  entertainment. 

THE  MAN  FROM  RED  GULCH— 
P.  D.  C. 

T_TARRY  CAREY  runs  true  to  form  in  this 
*■  -'-Bret  Harte  story.  He  plays  the  good 
Samaritan  of  the  desert,  striving  to  sustain  an 
imbibing  buddy  who  drowns  his  sorrows  in 
liquor.  Harriet  Hammond  is  the  girl  who  wins 
his  heart.    Pretty  fair  entertainment. 

THE  LAWFUL  CHEATER— 
Schulberg  Prod. 

^LARA  BOW,  sprightly  as  ever,  masquer- 
^-'ades  as  a  boy  and  makes  her  personality 
count  in  spite  of  a  very  far-fetched  story.  She 
fools  a  gang  of  crooks  in  Chinatown  into  re- 
forming. Raymond  McKee  is  a  rich  man's  son 
who  loafs  with  the  crooks  with  the  adolescent 
idea  that  they  are  heroes.    Fair. 

THE  COWBOY  MUSKETEER— F.  B.  O. 

7"0M  TYLER  looks  good  and  rides  well  in 
x  this  Western,  the  story  of  which  is  pre- 
sented with  snap  and  clearness.  All  about  a 
hidden  gold  mine,  the  map  of  which  is  con- 
cealed in  the  girl's  bracelet.  Conventional 
Western  entertainment.

Now!   A  right  way  to 
remove  cold  cream 

A  way  that  will  double  the  effectiveness  of 
your  make-up.  That  will  correct  oily  nose 
and  skin  conditions  amazingly.  That  will 
make  your  skin  seem  shades  lighter  than  before 


The  only  way  that  removes 

all  dirt  and  grease  j rum 

the  pores 

THIS  offers  a  test  that  will 
work  unique  results  in  your 
skin.  Modern  science  has  found 
a  right  way  to  remove  cold  cream 
— one  that  banishes  the  soiled 
towel  method  you  detest. 

That  proves,  no  matter  how 
long  you  have  removed  cleans- 
ing cream  with  towels,  paper 
substitutes,  etc.,  you  have  never  yet  re- 
moved it  thoroughly  from  your  skin  . . . 
have  never  removed  it  properly,  or  in 
gentle  safety  to  your  skin. 

Just  use  the  coupon.  A  7-day  supply

The  only  -way 

We  are  makers  of  absorbents,  are  world 
authorities  in  this  field.  On  the  urge 
of  a  noted  dermatologist,  we  worked 
to  perfect  a  thorough  remover  of  cold 
cream.    There  was  none  known. 

It  took  us  two  years  to  perfect  it. 
We  developed  an  entirely  new  kind  of 
material  to  attain  it.  Not  a  cloth,  but 
a  uniquely  exquisite  absorbent  that's 
different  from  any  other  you  have  ever 
seen.  *       *       * 

We  call  it  Kleenex.  You  use  it,  then 
discard  it.  White  as  snow  and  soft  as 
down,  it  comes  in  exquisite  sheets,  27 
times  as  absorbent  as  an  ordinary  towel, 
25  times  that  of  fibre  or  tissue  substitutes. 

It  contrasts  their  harshness  with  a 
softness  that  you'll  love.  It  does  what 
no  other  method  ever  known  has  ever 
done — removes  all  dirt  and  grease  from 
the  pores. 

Today,  largely  on  the  urge  of  the  skin 
specialists,  women  are  flocking  to  this 
new  way.  It  will  effect  quick  changes 
in  the  texture  of  your  skin.  Will  make 
it  seem  shades  whiter  than  before.

Stops  oily  skins  and  noses 
Combats  skin  imperfections 
That's  because  you  use  cleansing 
cream  to  remove  dirt  and  germ  invit- 
ing matter  from  the  pores.  And  old 
methods  removed  but  part,  rubbed  the 
rest  back  in,  thus  inviting  eruptions, 
imperfections  and  dark  skins. 

It  will  correct  oily  skin  or  nose  con- 
ditions so  quickly  as  to  amaze.  That's 
because  an  oily  skin  or  nose  simply 
indicates  grease  left  in  the  skin.  You 
must  powder  now  so  often  because 
the  pores  exude  it. 

This  new  way  will  double  and  treble 
the  effectiveness  of  your  make-up, 
make  it  last  hours  longer  than  you'd 
believe!

A  Sure  Way  To 

End  Dandruff 

There  is  one  sure  way  that  never  fails 
to  remove  dandruff  completely,  and  that 
is  to  dissolve  it.  Then  you  destroy  it 
entirely.  To  do  this,  just  apply  a  little 
Liquid  Arvon  at  night  before  retiring;  use 
enough  to  moisten  the  scalp  and  rub  it  in 
gently  with  the  finger  tips. 

By  morning  most,  if  not  all,  of  your 
dandruff  will  be  gone,  and  two  or  three 
more  applications  will  completely  dissolve 
and  entirely  destroy  every  single  sign  and 
trace  of  it,  no  matter  how  much  dandruff 
you  may  have. 

You  will  find,  too,  that  all  itching  of  the 
scalp  will  stop  in- 
stantly and  your  hair  «     c   , 
will belustrous  glossy,          (J^A^     Comb  Out

THE  MIDNIGHT  LIMITED—  Rayart 

GASTON  GLASS  and  Wanda  Hawley  are  a 
very  good  team  in  this  railroad  melodrama. 
Above  the  average  in  melodrama  because  the 
thrill  scenes  are  not  handled  with  the  usual 
sledgehammer  strokes.  A  very  interesting 
story  unusually  well  directed  for  this  type  of 
picture. 

TONIO,  SON  OF  THE  SIERRAS— 
David  Dist. 

A  1  Y  PICA  I.  tale  of  bygone  times  in  the  West 
■*»-when  Indians  were  continually  on  the  war- 
path. Has  some  good  melodramatic  punches 
and  a  nice  love  story — two  young  lieutenants 
in  love  with  the  same  girl,  played  by  Neva 
Gerber.    Pretty  good  entertainment. 

STEPPIN'  OUT— Columbia  Picture 
Corp. 

A  BRISK  comedy  well  acted  and  well 
directed.  Dorothy  Revier  makes  a  pro- 
nounced hit  as  a  comedienne,  and  Ford  Sterling 
is  funny  as  ever.  Not  a  dull  moment  after  Mr. 
John  Duranl  decides  to  leave  the  missus  at 
home  and  see  what  these  cabarets  are  like. 

THE  OUTLAW'S  DAUGHTER— 
Universal 

A  N  entertaining  melodrama  with  a  whale  of 
■*Va  climax,  where  the  hero  and  villain  fight 
savagely  in  an  aerial  bucket  suspended  in  mid 
air,  and  Josie  Sedgwick,  the  heroine,  climbs 
down  on  top  of  them,  saving  her  lover.  Good 
for  an  evening. 

WHAT  HAPPENED  TO  JONES— 
Universal 

ONE  of  Reginald  Denny's  best  pictures.    A 
rip-roaring  farce  and  riot  of  laughs  from 
start  to  finish.    The  plot  has  to  do  with  the 


adventures  of  Jones  and  his  pal  dodging  dis- 
aster in  a  Turkish  bath  reserved  for  ladies. 
Don't  miss  this! 


THE  SEA- WOLF— Ralph  Ince  Prod. 

yXTOLF  LARSON,  the  famous  Jack  London 
W  character,  comes  to  life  on  the  screen, 
with  all  the  savage  brutality  of  this  skipper  of 
a  hell-ship.  Ralph  Ince  plays  the  Wolf  real- 
istically, and  also  directed  the  picture  with 
great  skill.    A  trifle  strong  for  the  ladies. 


THE  TRUE  NORTH— Griffin  Prod. 

A  PINT  scenario,  replete  with  thrills,  cover- 
-*Mng  a  long,  hard  trail  through  Alaska  and 
Siberia.  A  spectacle  of  awe-inspiring  beauty 
is  the  photographing  of  the  Midnight  Sun  in 
colors.  As  a  scenic  novelty  it  stands  in  a  class 
by  itself. 


SMILIN'  AT  TROUBLE— F.  B.  O. 

"KynJT.LODRAMA.  comedy  and  romance  are 
■'•''■'-freely  mingled  in  this  latest  Lefty  Flynn 
vehicle,  which  registers  as  nifty  entertainment. 
Lefty  is  a  civil  engineer  working  on  the  con- 
struction of  a  dam,  and  discovers  the  con- 
tractor grafting  by  the  use  of  inferior  cement. 
He  foils  the  plot  and  wins  the  gal. 

THE  COUNT  OF  LUXEMBOURG— 
Chaduick  Prod. 

/GEORGE  WALSH,  as  a  penniless  count  liv- 
^^ing  in  the  Paris  artists'  colony,  marries  a 
beautiful  actress  without  seeing  her.  Later 
they  meet  by  accident  and  fall  in  love,  not 
knowing  they  are  already  married.  Fairly 
entertaining.

I  would  like  to  see  "The  Student  Prince"  in

Dix  Safe  Looking 

Clarksburg,  W.  Va, 
Richard  Dix  is  my  favorite  anil  always  will 
1  e.  I  was  Valentino-crazy  for  a  while,  but  it's 
all  over  now.  I  don't  think  the  Latin  lover 
would  make  a  good  husband  anyway.  Richard 
is  so  different,  big,  strong  and  protecting  like. 
Valentino  doesn't  look  as  safe  and  sure  as 
Richard.  Rudolph  look-  wicked  to  me.  May- 
be it  is  because  he  is  not  an  American.  Richard 
is  the  typical  American,  and  1  bet  he  would 
adore  an  old-fashioned  girl,  1  hope  he  finds  a 
sweet  lit  tic  girl  with  long  hair  and  old  fashioned 
ideas,  for  his  wile. 

Mary   G.  DONOHUE. 

In  Defense  of  Billie  Dove 

Highland  Park,  Mich. 
I  noticed  B  letter  last  month  criticising  Billie 
Dove's  acting  in  "  Light  of  the  Western  Star-." 
1  think  our  valuable  magazine  says:  "Refrain 


from  severe  personal  criticism."  Some  folks 
never  think  about  the  directing  of  a  picture. 
The  player  is  always  blamed  if  his  work  does 
not  please. 

Anyone  who  saw  Billie  Dove's  other  pictures 
will  realize  that  she  is  a  line  actress.  For 
instance.  "Wanderers  of  the  Wasteland," 
"Lucky  Horseshoe"  and  "Wild  Horse  Mesa." 

I  really  don't  think  such  an  artist  as  Douglas 
Fairbanks  would  have  chosen  Billie  Dove  from 
over  one  thousand  players  if  he  didn't  think 
her  capable  oi  playing  the  leading  woman  in 
"The  Black  Pirate'" 

G.  Stanley  Davis. 

For  Gloria 

Xew  Haven,  Conn. 
I  am  an  ardent  fan  of  Gloria  Swanson,  and 

so  of  course  I  think  she  is  the  greatest  artist  in 
the  movie  world.  She  is  very  fascinating  when 
she  is  dressed  in  gorgeous  gowns,  but  to  tell  the 
truth.  I  like  her  belter  when  she  is  in  rags. 
with  her  funny,  lovable  ways.  Her  comical 
actions  in  "Stage  Struck"  were  very  winning, 
and  made  everyone  feel  that  she  was  actually 
of  human  flesh  and  not  one  of  those  cold,  im- 
movable  actresses  that  one  sees  so  often. 

Therefore,  I  give  three  cheers  for  the  great 
Gloria,  who  has  captured  the  hearts  of  all  the 
people.

John  Gilbert   \»  St.  Elmo 

Miami.  Florida. 
A  word  in  appreciation  of  John   Gilbert. 
Mr.  Gilbert  possesses  a  dash  and  vivid  good 

looks,  coupled  with  a  rather  unusual  amount  of 
acting  talent.  His  style  of  looks  is  too  distinct 
to  allow  him  to  play  a  large  range  of  charac- 
ters, yet  lu-  plays  the  allotted  ones  well.  His 
persona]  magnetism  is  sufficient  to  guarantee 
his  success,  and  his  acting  ability  will  raise  him 
higher  than  the  common  type  of  matinee  idol. 

1  do  not  know  whether  "St.  Elmo"  has  ever 
been  filmed  or  not.  In  its  earliest  years,  more 
than  a  quarter  of  a  deiade  ago,  it  was  far  more 
the  rage  than  any  book  has  been  since.  Not- 
withstanding the  fact  that  it  is  not  a  well 
written  book  from  an  artistic  or  a  technical 
standpoint,  and  is  rather  in  the  "dime  novel" 
class,  it  has  an  appeal  which  made  it  a  place 
in  all  hearts  and  was  read  by  the  savants  as 
well  as  the  multitude. 

This  story  possesses  the  qualities  of  action 
and  universal  interest  which  would  make  it  a 
delightful  picture,  and  I  think  that  John  Gil- 
bert and  Mary  Astor  would  make  a  handsome 
and  suitable  couple  for  the  leading  roles.

Sutton,  Nebraska. 
I  have  no  fault  to  find  with  the  selection  of 
the  ten  most  beautiful  movie  stars,  but  I  would 
have  included  Lois  Wilson  and  Leatrice  Joy  in 
the  list.  Standards  vary,  but  according  to 
my  judgment,  "beauty  is  the  outward  expres- 
sion of  goodness,  unselfishness  and  intelli- 
gence." Xo  make-up  can  supply  these  ele- 
ments if  wanting.

Sunday  Film  Exhibits 

London,  England. 

It  may  interest  Photoplay  readers  to  hear 
of  the  new  Film  Society  which  has  been  formed 
here  in  London.  The  Society,  which  now  num- 
bers several  hundred  members,  exhibits  pic- 
tures on  Sunday  afternoons  at  the  Xew  Gallery 
Kinema.  solely  for  those  who  belong  to  the 
club.  The  pictures  shown  must  possess  out- 
standing merit  and  originality,  and  are  mostly 
those  of  little  or  no  commercial  value.  The 
aim  of  the  Society  is  to  elevate  the  taste  of  the 
average  fan.  and  to  show  the  best  films  pro- 
curable of  all  nations.  The  first  programme 
consisted  of: 

A  new  Futuristic  film,  German. 

"Why  Broncho  Bill  Left  Bean  County." 
American,  an  n-year  old  cowboy  two-reeler 
that  amused  everyone  very  much. 

"Typical  Gazette,"  English,  a  satire  upon 
the  topical  or  news  reels. 

"Waxworks,"  German,  a  brilliantly  pro- 
duced and  acted,  extremely  modern  fantasy, 
with  Emil  Jannings.    Creepy  and  eerie. 

"Champion  Charlie,"  American.  A  1916 
Chaplin  with  Edna  Purviance.  Amusing  and 
good  entertainment. 

Among  the   members  of   this   Society  are 


The  Future  of  the  Telephone 


It  was  fifty  years  ago  that  Alex- 
ander Graham  Bell  invented  the 
telephone,  and  yet  this  anniver- 
sary is  but  a  milestone  in  the 
progress  of  telephone  develop- 
ment. As  the  giant  oak  with  its 
complicated  structure  grows  from 
the  acorn,  so  a  nation-wide  system 
has  grown  out  of  Bell's  single 
telephone  instrument. 

The  interconnection  of  millions 
of  telephones  throughout  the  land, 
regardless  of  distance,  has  not 
come  about  easily.  It  has  resulted 
from  a  series  of  scientific  discov- 
eries and  technical  achievements 
embodied  in  a  telephone  plant  of 


vast  extent  and  intricacy.  Great 
economies  have  already  been 
gained  by  such  technical  im- 
provements and  more  are  sure  to 
follow  for  the  benefit  of  telephone 
users  everywhere. 

There  are  still  to  come  many 
other  discoveries  and  achieve- 
ments, not  only  in  transmission 
of  speech,  but  also  in  the  material 
and  construction  details  of  every 
part  of  the  network  of  plant. 

The  future  of  the  telephone 
holds  forth  the  promise  of  a  ser- 
vice growing  always  greater  and 
better,  and  of  a  progress — the 
end  of  which  no  one  can  foresee.

Unless  kept  always  clean  and

I  will  close  with  one  or  two  suggestions  for 
producers:  "The  Vortex"  with  Pauline  Fred-

A  Good  Picker 

Chappaqua.  X.  Y. 

For  some  time  I  have  wanted  to  write  to  this 
department,  not  about  the  stars,  but  about  the 
minor  players  who  are,  occasionally,  better 
than  the  stars. 

It  is  gratifying  to  watch  the  rise  of  some 
players  of  small  parts  to  prominence.  I  picked 
Adolphe  Menjou  four  or  five  years  ago  when  he 
was  playing  parts  such  as  the  negligible  hus- 
band of  Xorma  Talmadge  in  "La  Duchesse  de 
Langeais. "  Even  in  the  short  time  he  was  on 
the  screen  then,  his  satirical  humor  and 
subtlety  were  in  evidence.  And  now  look  at 
him! 

I  have  been  struck  recently  by  two  per- 
formances by  Edna  May  Oliver;  one  as  a 
lodging  house  keeper  in  a  Richard  Dix  film, 
and  the  other  in  Bebe  Daniels'  "Lovers  in 
Quarantine,"  as  the  patrician  but  amusing 
Aunt  Amelia.  Miss  Oliver  and  Tully  Mar- 
shall are  the  only  players  I  think  of  who  are 
competent  to  act  the  parts  of  millionaires. 
They  are  reasonable  about  it,  and  not  blatant 
as  are  most  actors  attempting  to  be  rich  and 
artistocratic  on  the  screen. 

Brickbats  to  the  persons  responsible  for  the 
non-appearance  for  so  long  of  Carl  Miller.  He 
was  exceedingly  good  in  "A  Woman  of  Paris.  " 
and  then  he  disappeared.  Why?  He  is  young, 
good  looking  and  a  fine  actor.  Xow  he  plays 
a  near  villain  in  a  bad  flapper  picture  with 
Colleen  Moore.  Thcodosia,  the  cook,  in  this 
picture,  gave  an  interesting  performance. 

In  this  widely  read  department,  let's  help  the 
so  far  unrecognized  people  with  talent.  The 
stars  get  their  share  of  notice.

For  the  Black  Irishman 

Baltimore,  Md. 
I  just  bought  January  Photoplay  and  as 
usual  turned  first  to  Brickbats  and  Bouquets. 
Each  time  I  look  in  vain  for  some  mention  of 
my  favorite  actor.  So  I  am  herewith  sending 
a  large  bouquet  to  that  most  deserving  and 
handsome  young  actor,  George  O'Brien. 
Please  give  us  more  news  and  pictures  of  him. 
and  maybe  a  large  picture. 

MlLLICENT   HAETMAN. 

Take  "Em  Off,  Alberta 

Winchester,  Va. 

Without  being  too  unkind,  I  want  to  criticise 
Alberta  Yaughan,  hoping  she  may  benefit  by  it. 

Such  a  make-up!  Her  dresses  are  that  tight 
and  short  that  they  are  ridiculous.  And  sleeve- 
less ones — with  bracelets  all  the  way  up  her 
arm — to  work  in  an  office!  1  tor  hair  is  just  a 
frizzy  mass,  and  then  big  ear  rings — and  beauty 
marks. 

I  cannot  imagine  a  director  looking  her  over 
and  then  having  the  nerve  to  start  the  camera. 

Oh,  please  dress  her  up  in  a  nice  oufit  ami 
have  her  hair  dressed  differently,  and  perhaps 
we  can  hand  her  a  bouquet — but  never  as  she 
is  today.

A  Seasoned  Fan 

Pittsburgh.  Kansas. 
I  notice  of  late  in  PHOTOPLAY  some  expres- 
sions of  opinion  regarding  the  retirement  de- 
sired of  some  of  our  mature  and  experienced 
actors.  Xow  I  have  been  for  fifteen  years  .1 
devotee  of  the  picture  theater  and  know  my 
programme  thoroughly  as  a  fan.  It  is  very 
evident  that  the  matinee  attendance  is  com- 
posed of  those  above  school  or  college  age.     I 


am  sure  that  this  audience  does  not  wish  for 
the  retirement  of  men  like  Lewis  Stone,  with 
his  gentle  and  matured  graciousness.  Conway 
Tearle,  whose  dignified  and  iron-hand-in-velvet 
glove  manner  appeals  deeply  to  those  who  have 
not  yet  closed  their  hearts  to  romance. 

Charlie  Chaplin,  Lloyd  Hamilton  and  Louise 
Fazenda  express  the  beginning  and  end  of 
comedy.  I  sincerely  hope  that  those  actors 
will  play  as  long  as  they  can  for  us  who  have 
followed  their  pictures.  Xone  are  old,  and 
they  protray  the  ease  and  finesse  that  can 
come  only  through  experience.  I  regret  the 
death  of  Mrs.  Sidney  Drew.  We  have  had 
nothing  to  compare  with  the  old  Drew  Come- 
dies. 

Matron. 

For  Miss  Banky 

Hewlett,  Long  Island. 

Just  a  word  to  answer  AIthea"s  letter  in 
January  Photoplay.  Has  she  seen  "The 
Dark  Angel-'  and  "The  Eagle"?  If  so.  what 
is  her  definition  of  distinction?  To  my  mind, 
anyone  who  can  find  her  way  into  the  hearts  of 
the  public  as  Miss  Banky  has  done,  after  her 
first  appearance  in  .America,  must  pos^ 
certain  amount  of  that  indefinable  something 
known  as  personality. 

Althea  grants  that  Miss  Banky  is  a  capable 
actress.  But  what  is  it  that  makes  a  capable 
actress  if  it  is  not  distinction  with  a  rare  per- 
sonality? 

To  be  sure,  Gloria  Swanson  is  wholly  charm- 
ing; Pola  Xegri  is  magnetic  and  Corinne  Grif- 
fith aloof  and  aristocratic.  But  Yilma  Banky 
possesses  all  these  qualities  together  with  a 
charm  of  her  own. 

Helen  Schneider. 

Just  Pola 

Boston,  Mass. 

I  should  like  Photoplay  to  be  all  Pola! 

She  came,  she  was  seen,  and  she  conquered. 
That's  Pola.  One  doesn't  think  of  her  sitting 
by  the  lire  knitting,  and  one  doesn't  want  to. 
She  is  a  beautiful  wild  cat  that  can  purr  and 
scratch.  I  consider  Pola  the  greatest  ai 
on  the  screen,  and  the  most  fascinating  woman 
I  ever  saw. 

A  Fan. 

Lamb  Chops  and  Pineapple. 
Leatrice 

Syracuse.  X.  Y. 

I  think  "The  Wedding  Song"  is  a  punk  pic- 
ture. And  it  contains  the  prize  subtitle,  viz: 
"A  bullet  in  her  shoulder,  but  victory  in  her 
heart.  " 

Leatrice  Joy  at  one  time  made  excellent  pic- 
tures, but  if  this  is  a  sample  of  her  future  films, 
she  will  soon  lose  all  her  admirers. 

1. cat  rice  is  almost  ten  pounds  too  thin,  too. 
But  she  has  a  quaint  charm  that  is  very  becom- 
ing with  the  correct  background.

On  the  Other  Hand 

Petersburg.  Va. 

Brickbats  for  the  critics  of  Cecil  De.Mille's 
pictures.  Ever  since  Mr.  DeMille  left  the 
Paramount  field,  it  seems  the  reviewers  have 
picked  on  him.  But.  thank  goodness,  they 
can't  destroy  the  faith  of  all  his  loyal  fans. 

Three  cheers  for  De  Mille.  Leatrice  Joy, 
Rod  LaRocque  and  Vera  Reynolds.  Yera  is  a 
hit  with  the  college  set.

A  Cruze  Fan 

Louisville.  Ky. 
Lady  Duff,  who  wrote  concerning  "Beggar 
on  Horseback"  in  your  December  issue,  is 
representative  of  a  vast  majority  of  American 
fans.  James  Cruze  went  completely  over  their 
heads  in  this  picture.  If  he  hadn't,  Lady  Duff 
wouldn't  be  trying  to  "get  some  sense  out  of

Questions  and  Answers 


■\  i  in i  i  D  i  ROM  PAG1    iji  ] 

Hi  ickie.— Sure,  it's  in  my  line  to  answer 
your  question — particularly  when  ii  concerns 
a  Prince-  Fortnal  young  fellow  who  played 
with  Pola  in  "Flower  of  the  Night"  was  ju>t 
that.  Eiis  name  is  Prince  Youcca  Troubets 
koy.    Try  that  on  your  pronounciation. 

B.  A.  M.— No,  Myrtle  Stedman  i>  nol  mar- 
ried. She's  divorced,  so  what  do  you  care 
whom  it's  from?  On  the  other  hand,  blue 
eyed  Betty  Compson  i>  married  looks  per- 
manently —to  James  Cruze,  the  director.  They 
live  in  Hollywood,  Monte  Blue  is  married 
also  to  Tova  Jansen.  Monte's  eyes  and  hair 
are  brown.  So  you  and  your  girl  friends  talk 
alxnit  these  marriages  all  the  time,  do  you? 
Well,  well.    Girls  will  be  gossips. 

Sally  R.,  Stockton. — Sally,  here  you  come 
with  more  marriage  questions  right  on  top,  or 
right  below,  rather',  B.  A.  M.  When  I  get 
through  answering  you  two  everybody  will 
know  who  belongs  to  whom,  at  least  officially. 
Anyhow — Charlie  Chaplin  is  married.  Cer- 
tainly he  is.  To  l.iia  Grey.  She  is  his  second 
wife  and  they  have  one  child.  Viola  Dana  is 
married  to  Lefty  Flynn,  but  her  sister,  Shirley, 
is  a  widow.  And  now.  hold  your  breath. 
Kieardo  Cortez  is  27  years  old  and  he  ISN'T 
married. 

Peggy  W.,  Michigan. — Bebe  Daniels  and 

Rod  La  Rocque's  real  names  are  Bebe  Daniels 
and  Rod  La  Rocque.  Yes,  they  now  have 
music  playing  during  the  filming  of  all  scenes. 
So  you  disagree  with  Adela  and  think  Richard 
Barthelmess,  Richard  Di.\,  Rod  La  Rocque, 
Doug  Fairbanks,  Ramon  Novarro,  Ricardo 
Cortez,  Rudy  Valentino,  Tom  Meighan,  Ben 
Lyon  and  Reg  Denny  are  the  ten  handsomest? 
Well,  that's  all  right  with  me,  but  you  don't 
exactly  hate  those  Latin  boys,  do  you? 

Janet  and  Jeaxette  Moose. — How  does 
your  mother  call  you  and  how  do  you  know 
which  one  of  you  is  to  come?  (You  see,  I  can 
ask  questions,  too.)  You  want  to  know  all 
about  Barbara  and  Bebe.  Well,  Babs  was 
lorn  in  Richmond,  Va.,  in  July,  1900.  She 
started  as  a  dancer  when  she  was  a  little  girl 
and  later  went  into  vaudeville  and  stock.  She 
wrote  stories,  too,  for  the  magazines  and  sce- 
narios, and  entered  pictures  as  an  act  ress  in  1922. 
Bebe  was  lorn  in  Dallas,  Texas,  January,  1904. 
She  started  in  pictures  when  she  was  a  child, 
having  previously  had  some  stage  experience 
Against  Barbara's  many  marriages,  Bete  is 
still  unwed. 

A.  B.,  New  Jersey. — Neither  one  of  you 
girls  is  right.  It  was  Marie  Prevost  and  Ilelene 
Chadwick  playing  opposite  Monte  Blue  in 
"The  Dark  Swan''  and  not  Irene  Rich  and  Eva 
Novak.  Xo,  Rin-Tin-Tin.  my  favorite  actor, 
is  not  dead.    Dagmar  Godowsky  is  twenty-five. 

N.  E.  G. — Don't  wo  ry  about  liking  West- 
erns. Lots  of  people,  wise  people  like  me, 
adore  them.  Your  friend.  Tom  Mix.  was  born 
on  a  ranch  near  El  Paso,  Texas,  thirty-eight 
years  ago.  He  lives  in  Hollywood  with  his  two 
daughters,  Thomasina  and  Ruth,  and  his  wife, 
who  was  formerly  Victoria  Eorde.  She  used  to 
be  in  movies  but  she  has  retired  now. 

R.  G.,  Minneapolis. — That  was  Betty 
Bronson  in  "The  Kiss  for  Cinderella."  Yes, 
difficult  as  it  seems  to  believe,  it  was  our 
Conrad  Xagel  who  did  Paul  in  "Three  Weeks." 
Julanne  Johnson  received  Doug's  adoration  in 
'The  Thief  of  Bagdad."  Yes,  Alice  Terry 
wears  a  blonde  wig.  I  always  do  good.  R.  G., 
even  when  it  only  comes  to  making  out  hand- 
writing like  vours.

LAURA  LA  PLAN' 


MIDNIGHT  SUN" 


"She  had  the  night  in  her  eyes  and  the  sun 
upon  her  lips  and  he  called  her  his  'Midnight  Sun'." 

A  beautiful  dancer  in  the  Russian   Imperial 

Ballet  catches  the  eye  of  Grand  Duke  Sergius,  and 
Kusmin,  a  roue  millionaire,  and  both  make  up  their  minds  to 
have  her.  She  is  in  love,  however,  with  a  young  lieutenant  on 
the  Grand  Duke's  personal  staff,  and  is  obliged  to  use  all  the 
power  of  her  beauty  and  brains  to  outwit  the  two  powerful  per- 
sonages and  save  her  romance. 

The  rivalry  of  the  two  notables  involves  the 
abduction  of  the  dancer  by  the  banker  in  his  private 
yacht,  a  chase  on  a  destroyer  by  the  Grand  Duke,  the  near  exe- 
cution of  the  lieutenant  for  slapping  the  Grand  Duke's  face. 
So.  thrills  follow  one  another  in  rapid  succession,  and  the  climax 
will  surprise  and  delight  you. 

Such  is  the  basis  of  "The  Midnight  Sun," 

Universals  magnificent  and  thrilling  drama,  laid  in  the 
very  center  of  the  Imperial  Russian  court  with  all  its  splendor 
and  luxuriousness. 

This  picture  is  a  dramatic  triumph  for  LAURA 
LA  PLANTE.  It  will  forever  establish  PAT  O'M  ALLEY 

who  plays  the  Grand  Duke,  It  is  a  splendid  vehicle  for 
GEORGE  SEIGMAN'S  peculiar  talents  and  a  star-maker  for 
young  RAYMOND  KEANE,  the  cadet  lieutenant. 

The  picture  is  beautiful  beyond  description. 
It  occurs  mostly  in  the  palace,  in  the  Kuba  Cafe  and 
behind  the  scenes  of  the  Great  Russian  Theatre,  is  replete  with 
brilliant  uniforms  and  gorgeous  settings.  I  would  call  it  one  of 
Universals  best  pictures  and  I  think  you  will  agree  with  me.

MARION  L.  W. — That  aristocratic  Ralston 
;,'irl  even  started  out  grandly  by  choosing  Bar 
Il.irl  or,  Maine,  as  the  town  to  be  horn  in,  and 
horn  there  she  was,  in  September,  1902.  Es- 
ther is  live  feet,  five,  and  if  you  write  toherin 
care  of  the  Paramount  Studios,  I  am  sure 
you'll  reach  her. 

Charlie  of  Colby. — Yes,  I  admit  my  pen 
has  a  woman's  style.  If  you  knew  how  I 
work  over  that  pen,  keeping  it  fashionable.  I 
have  it  dressed  every  fall  by  Lanvin,  every 
spring  by  Patou  and  every  summer  by  a  coat  of 
tan.  Xo,  your  rave,  Greta  Nissen.  does  not 
come  from  Sweden.  She  comes  from  Norway, 
does  little  Greta.  Why  ask  Greta  to  act? 
How  much  do  you  want  for  your  money?  To 
look  at  her  little  blonde  curls  is  enough.  Be- 
sides the  two  you  mentioned,  Greta  has  played 
in  "In  the  Name  of  Love,"  "The  Golden 
Journey"  and  "The  King  on  Main  Street." 
Now,  there  you  go,  jumping  around  from 
blonde  to  brunette.  But  I  agree  with  you 
about  Betty  Bronson.  Betty  is  the  best  bet 
there  is.  You  can  reach  Lloyd  Hamilton  at 
the  Educational  studios.  Ronald  Colman  and 
Blanche  Sweet  played  together  in  "The 
Sporting  Venus."     Write  again. 

A  Daisy  from  North  Dakota. — When 
Richard  Dix  started  life  in  St.  Paul,  Minne- 
sota, during  the  year  of  1895,  he  was  working 
under  the  handicap  of  being  called  Ernest 
Carleton  Brimmer.  Lois  Wilson  was  born  a 
year  after  Dick,  in  Pittsburgh,  Pa.  There  you 
are,  Daisy. 

Rita  B. — I  burn  to  oblige  but  I  can't  tell 
you  about  Vera  Reynolds'  husband  and  chil- 
dren. She  hasn't  either.  Vera 's  five  feet,  one 
inch  tall  and  weighs  102  pounds.  Yes,  I 
agree  on  her  figure.  In  fact  it  was  years  be- 
fore I  knew  the  child  had  a  beautiful  face. 
Mae  Murray  wild?  Nay,  nay,  not  Mae.  Where 
did  you  hear  that  about  Rudy  Valentino  teach- 
ing a  Sunday  School?  Rudy,  the  Sabbath 
sheik,  I  suppose. 

Icoxette  H.,  Michigan. — Who  gave  you 
that  name,  Iconette,  and  where  did  they  find 
it?  Am  I  handsome  and  dark?  You  don't 
know  the  half  of  it.  dearie.  I  am  dark  as  night 
and  handsome  as  Hamlet,  with  my  long,  white 
whiskers  as  an  added  attraction.  Rut  I  am 
still  able  to  resist  the  wiles  of  you  wimmin. 
The  Indian  in  "The  Mind  with  the  Iron  Door" 
was  Robert  Frazer.  No,  Bob's  a  real  white 
man.  His  newest  picture  is  "The  Splendid 
Road."  Doug  Fairbanks,  our  handsomest 
actor?  Well,  I  could  tell  you  about  the  girls 
but  when  I  look  at  the  men,  I  remember  my 
own  beauty  and  get  confused.  It  was  Mar- 
guerite de  La  Motte  who  played  in  "The  Mark 
of  Zorro."  No,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  Rod 
La  Rocque  is  27  years  old,  he's  still  a  bachelor. 
His  next  is  "Strongheart."  Hollywood  says  a 
lot,  but  not  about  Marion  Davies  and  Harrison 
Ford  getting  married.  They  played  together 
in  "Zander  the  Great." 

R.  V.  B. — You  want  to  know  about  the 
Fairbanks  males.  Well,  you're  right  about 
Doug.  Senior.  He  sure  is  in  a  class  by  him- 
self. He  is  forty-six  years  agile.  Young 
Doug  is  just  past  fifteen.  His  mother  is  Reth 
Sully  Lairbanks.  now  Mrs.  Evans.  If  you 
write  to  United  Artists  Exchange,  you  can  find 
out  whether  they  will  show  "The  Three  Mus- 
keteers" and  "The  Mark  of  Zorro"  in  Chicago 
again. 


Mildred  B. — Richard  Dix  will  next  be  in 
"Womanhandled."  the  chief  handling  woman 
being  Esther  Ralston.  Dick's  not  most  fond 
of  any  girl.  That's  why  he's  a  bachelor,  wise 
boy.  Write  to  him  in  care  of  Paramount  stu- 
dios. Rod  La  Rocque  pronounces  his  name 
stonily. 

Betty  B. — For  a  first  time  you're  a  wonder. 
Retty.  No.  Ricardo  Cortez  is  not  an  Ameri- 
can. Ric  comes  from  Alsace-Lorraine,  France. 
that  land  where  the  girls  wear  the  big.  black 
bows  on  their  hair.  He  was  born  there  twenty- 
six  years  ago.  He  is  one  inch  over  six  feet 
tall.  Send  him  a  quarter  in  care  of  Lask\ 
Studios,  Hollywood,  and  you'll  get  his  photo- 
graph. Eleanor  Boardman  is  a  year  Ric's 
senior,  but  she's  seven  inches  shorter.  She 
has  gray  eyes  and  lovely  light  brown  hair. 
You'd  like  to  see  Eleanor  and  Ricardo  in  a 
Spanish  movie,  would  you?  I  think  that 
would  be  hot  stuff,  myself.  Pronounce  the  last 
syllable  of  Ricardo's  surname  to  match  the  first 
syllable  of  Wesley  Barry's  first  name  and  you'll 
'come  out  all  right.  The  reason  you  haven't 
heard  anything  about  Marguerite  Clarke  is 
because  Marguerite  got  married  and  retired. 
Some  of  the  girls  still  do  that,  you  see. 

A.  K. — So  you  like  gobs.  So  do  I,  partic- 
ularly gobs  of  whipped  cream.  Write  Dick 
Barthelmess,  in  care  of  Inspiration  Studios, 
and  I  think  you  can  get  a  picture  of  him  in  his

"Peacock  leathers"  has  been  made,  with  Jac- 
queline Logan  and  Cullen  Landis  in  the  lead- 
ing roles,  and  it  was  reviewed  in  our  November 
issue.  Naughty,  naughty!  Mustn't  forget 
those  things.  It  breaks  my  poor  old  heart. 
No.  Lloyd  Hughes  wasn't  in  it.  His  next  is 
"Irene."     Write  again. 

R.  S.  Wyche. — Lillian  Walker  is  out  of 
movies.  She  is  playing  on  the  speaking  stage 
now.  She  is  divorced  from  Charles  Hansen. 
"Dimples"  was  born  in  Brooklyn.  April  21st. 
iSSS.  I'm  sorry  I  don't  know  her  present 
address. 

Mary  Ann. — Ah.  Mary  Ann.  What  sweet 
woids  are  thine.  You  call  me  the  very  wisest 
of  men.  I'm  even  wiser  than  that.  Here's 
why.  Solomon,  the  guy  that  held  the  cham- 
pionship before  I  came  along,  had  more  than  a 
thousand  wives.  But  I'm  a  bachelor.  So  that 
makes  me  a  thousand  times  wiser  than  Solo- 
mon. Lloyd  Hughes,  again.  That  man  is 
getting  lots  of  attention  this  month.  Send 
Lloyd  a  quarter  in  care  of  United  Studios. 
He'll  send  you  a  photo  then,  and  put  the  quar- 
ter in  the  gas  meter.  Is  Kenneth  Harlan 
married?  Is  he?  Have  you  seen  that  girl. 
Marie  Prevost?  Well,  'tis  she  Ken  married. 
the  lucky  chap. 

Ax  Admirer  from  California. — Admirer 
of  whom?  Something  tells  me  it  is  not  of  me 
alone  that  you  think.  You  seem  interested  in 
that  other  guy,  Ramon  Novarro.  Ah,  well, 
niany's  the  time  other  women  have  sighed  in 
my  presence  over  Ramon's  charms.  That's 
the  tragedy  of  it.  That  handsome  man  is  not 
short.  He  is  five  feet,  ten.  Yes.  he's  rather 
shy,  but  he  doesn't  go  around  with  any  certain 
girl.  He  took  my  tip  and  goes  around  with  all 
of  them.     That's  the  way  to  stay  unmarried. 

Patsy  Edge. — That  was  Corinne  Griffith's 
picture  you  enclosed.

The  most  intimate  concern 
of  a  woman's  life— 

should  not  he  shrouded  in  secrecy 


IGNORANCE  of  physical  facts  never  brought 
happiness  to  any  woman. 

Wrong  information  is  often  worse  than  no  in- 
formation, and  feminine  health  is  too  impor- 
tant, too  vital  a  matter  to  be  regarded  in  a 
haphazard  way.  Unless  there  is  frank  dis- 
cussion, there  can  be  no  real  enlightenment. 
The  modern  woman  wants  to  know  the  truth 
and  then  she  can  judge  for  herself.  She  wants 
to  have  the  benefit  of  every  new  idea. 


Recent  advances  in  prac- 
tice of  feminine  hygiene 

The  recent  advances  in  the 
practice  of  feminine  hygiene 
have  all  come  about  as  an 
answer  to  one  existing  evil. 
And  that  is  the  evil  of  poisonous 
antiseptics.  Every  physician  and 
nurse  isfamiliar  with  the  effects 
when  delicate  tissues  come  in 
contact  with  bichloride  of  mer- 
cury or  the  compounds  of  car- 
bolic acid.  Yet  until  lately 
there  was  no  other  recourse 
for  fastidious  women  who  de- 
manded an  efficient  cleansing 
agent — who  demanded  a  true 
antiseptic  insurance  against 
the  dangers  of  disease  germs. 


A  WHOLE  MEDICINE 

CHEST  IN  ITSELF 
Zonite  kills  germs. 
That  is  why  Zonite  is  val- 
uable for  so  many  differ- 
ent purposes. 
For    prevention    against 
colds,  coughs,  grippe  and 
influenza. 

For  a  daily  mouthwash  to 
guard  against  pyorrhea 
and  other  gum  infections. 
For  cuts,  wounds,  burns 
and  scratches. 
For  use  as  a  deodorant. 
Remember  that  Zonite, 
though  a  very  powerful 
antiseptic,  is  non^poison- 
ous  and  absolutely  safe 
to  use. 


Every  woman  has  reason 
to  welcome  Zionite 

But  fortunately  this  state  of  affairs  is  now  a 
thing  of  the  past.  No  longer  need  a  woman 
run  the  risk  of  using  powerful  poisons  for  the 
purpose  of  feminine  hygiene.  No  longer  need 
she  fear  accidental  poisoning  in  the  home — a 
calamity  all  too  common  when  the  poison 
bottle  is  left  within  reach  of  little  children 
who  cannot  read  the  "skull-and-crossbones" 
warning.  No  longer  need  she  face  any  of  these 
dangers,  for  Zonite  has  arrived. 


In  bottles,  50c  and  $1

If  your  druggist  cannot

Zonite  is  a  powerful  antiseptic:  it  actually 
kills  germs.  It  is  harmless  to  human  beings, 
yet  it  has  more  than  forty  times  the  strength 
of  peroxide  of  hydrogen,  and  is  far  more  power- 
ful than  any  dilution  of  carbolic  acid  that  can 
be  safely  used  on  the  human  body. 

No  wonder  then,  that  Zonite  has  been  wel- 
comed with  satisfaction.  A  powerful  antisep- 
tic that  can  even  be  held  in  the  mouth!  In 
fact,  dental  authorities  are  recommending  it 
highly  for  preventive  oral  hygiene.  Sugges- 
tion: ask  your  dentist  for  his 
opinion  or  Zonite.

BATHASWEET 


To  keep  you  lovely 

all  day  long 

The  girl  who  prides  herself  on  her 
attractiveness  calls  Bathasweet 
her  favorite  luxury,  not  only  be- 
cause it  entrances  her  senses,  but 
because  it  adds  so  greatly  to  her 
loveliness  thruout  the  day. 

Just  a  sprinkle  of  it  in  her  tub,  and  she 
bathes  in  water  as  fragrant  as  a  flower 
garden,  and  so  soft  it  cleanses  the  pores 
as  no  ordinary  water  can,  leaving  her 
skin  delightfully  comfortable,  radiantly 
healthy  and  smooth  as  velvet  to  the  touch. 
Then  for  the  rest  of  the  day  an  almost 
scentless  perfume  clings  about  her,  keep- 
ing her  always  sweet  and  fresh  and  lov- 
able. Yet  Bathasweet  is  inexpensive.  25c, 
50c,  $1.00  and  $1.50  at  drug  and  depart- 
ment stores.

VA     Hi 


Something  <7^EW 

for  BOBBED  HAIR 

There  is  a  tremendous  difference  in  bobs.  Some 
are  wonderfully  attractive  and  becoming,  while 
Others, ■well'—  which  kind  is  yours? 

I  wish  you  could  picture  the  becoming  kind  I 
have  in  mind  —  the  sort  that  makes  men  turn  to 
admire.  I  can't  tell  you  what  the  color  is,  but 
it's  full  of"  those  tiny  dancing  lights  that  somehow 
suggest  auburn,  yet  which  arc  really  no  more  ac- 
tual color  than  sunlight  is.  It's  only  when  the  head 
is  moved  that  you  catch  the  auburn  suggestion— 
the  fleeting  glint  of  gold. 

You  have  no  idea  how  much  your  bob  can  be 
improved  with  the  "tiny  tint"  Golden  Glint 
Shampoo  will  give  it.  If  you  want  a  bob  like  that 
I  have  in  mind,  buy  a  package  and  sec  for  your- 
self. At  all  drug  stores,  or  send  25^  direct  to 
JAV.  KodiCo.,6i6  Rainier  Ave.,  Seattle.  Wn.

Millions  Grow  Slender 
In  an  Easy  Way 

You  see  them  everywhere — Ask  them  about  it 
Your  druggist  signs  the  guarantee 


Look  about  in  any  circle.  Note  bow 
slender  are  most  men  and  women  now. 
Excess  tat  is  not  one-tenth  so  common 
as  it  was. 

Fat  is  unpopular.  Slim  figures  are  in 
vogue.  Style  and  beauty,  health  and  fit- 
ness  all  call  for  normal  weight.  And 
people  by  the  millions  are  conforming. 

Some  by  strenuous  exercise  and  diet, 
but  those  ways  arc  hard  and  risky.  Mul- 
titudes employ  the  easy,  pleasant  way, 
the  modern,  scientific  way.  And  they'll 
advise  it  to  you  if  you  ask. 

Fat  Goes  Quickly 

This  modern  way  is  Marmola  Pre- 
scription Tablets.  Simply  take  four  a 
day.  They  combat  the  cause  of  excess 
fat,  which  usually  lies  in  a  gland. 

The  method  is  not  secret.  Our  books 
publish  every  ingredient.  The  user 
knows  just  what  she  takes,  how  it  acts 
and  why. 

Marmola  is  so  reliable — so  well  proved 
for  18  years — that  every  druggist  now 
signs  a  guarantee. 

Reduction  is  prompt,  but  not  too  rapid.

ditions.   Wrinkles  are  not  formed. 

One  may  stop  reduction  at  any  point 
desired.  Then  use  Marmola  just  as

No  abnormal  exercise  or  diet  is  required.

Marmola  has  been  used  for  18  years. 
Its  use  has  now  spread  the  world  over. 
Users  by  the  millions  have  told  others 
about  it,  and  the  use  has  spread.  People 
are  now  taking  over  100,000  tablets  of 
Marmola  daily. 

You  can  see  the  results  anywhere. 
Many  of  your  friends  can  tell  you  about 
them.  Marmola  is  probably  making  more 
people  slender  than  any  other  method 
now. 

Investigate  Marmola  in  justice  to  your- 
self. Excess  fat  is  a  blight  to  beauty, 
health  and  fitness.  The  present  styles  in 
dress  make  it  conspicuous.  Today  it  has 
no  excuse.

contrast  to  Bernhardt. 

In  America  Maude  Adams  achieved  even  a 
greater  degree  of  secrecj 

PfCTURES  arc  made  in  glass  houses,  and  the 
lives  of  the  players  have  been  viewed 
through  them.  We  have  had  actresses  who 
emulated  Bernhardt,  Lillian  Russell  and  Eva 
Tanguay  in  publicity  style,  but  as  yet  only  one 
who  has  modeled  after  Duse,  and  that  rather 
ineffectually. 

Talking  is  the  temptation  of  the  silent  aetor. 
ami  the  press  is  an  invincible  sleuth,  as  Chaplin 
found  when  he  tried  suddenly  to  bang  the  door 
of  his  domicile  in  the  faces  of  the  inquisitors. 

THERE  may  he  something  in  this: 
Duse  commanded  the  world  to  revere  her 
art. 

As  yet  there  has  been  no  screen  artist  great 
enough  to  issue  such  a  command. 

VALENTINO  clings  to  his  spats,  his  slave 
bracelet  and  his  accustomed  furs. 

Kings  put  aside  their  sables  long  ago.  That 
is.  the  kings  who  kept  their  jobs. 

Vet  there  is  a  certain  valor  in  the  man  who 
sticks  to  his  glad  rags. 

Bushman  passed  out  of  the  prints  wearing 
purple  pajamas  and  an  amethyst  ring.  The 
stern  stuff  that  kept  him  true  to  his  color  has 
brought  him  back,  albeit  sans  purple. 

NOVARRO  is  an  appreciative  admirer  of 
Francis  Bushman. 

The  older  idol  has  given  him  sound  advice. 

Bushman  was  the  first  screen  favorite  to 
make  personal  appearances.  He  says  that 
when  he  walked  down  the  aisle  of  the  theater 
people  shrank  away  from  him  as  from  a  wraith. 
A  few  with  temerity  reached  out  and  touched 
him. 

Fatal  touch!  The  idol  was  flesh  and  blood, 
the  '.rod  a  mortal  man.    And  worship  ceased. 

"Beware  of  personal  appearances,"  says 
Bushman. 

•"THE  one  thing  worse  than  bad  publicity  is 
■*-  good  publicity. 

The  tragedy  in  trying  to  prove  that  a  star  is 
a  regular,  ordinary  man  or  woman  is  that 
the  case  may  be  proved. 

Why  should  the  populace  worship  an  ordi- 
nary human  being  like  unto  itself?  Kings 
faded  when  the  doctrine  of  divine  right  waned. 

True,  the  exterior  must  be  of  democratic 
uniformity,  for  that's  the  style  today.  But  the 
party  inside  must  be  of  rarer,  finer,  more 
ar^tocratic  stuff  than  the  Kuppenheimer  cut. 
Otherwise  why  not  write  fan  letters  to  the  ice 
man?  The  answer  is,  you  probably  do,  only  he 
appears  on  the  screen  instead  of  at  your  back

not  discover  yourself  on  the  road 
to  happiness,  wealth,  success — 
guided  by  my  principles  of  per- 
sonal  magnetism — the  test 
will  cost  you  nothing  what- 
ever.   You  are  the  judge. 

What  is 
Personal  Magnetism 

You  have  it — everyone 
has  it — but  only  the  excep- 
tional man  or  woman  knows 
how  to  use  it. 

Personal  magnetism  is 
not  a  fad  or  fancy,  not  some 
sudden  discovery  or  some 
new  psychological  theory, 
manner,  your  self — made  magnetic.  It  is 
force  as  irresistible  as  the  force  of  the  actual 
magnet,  drawing  a  bit  of  steel  to  itself.  No 
leader  of  men  has  long  survived  without  it. 
Xo  great  orator  or  musician  or  actor  can 
hold  audiences  spellbound  without  it.  No 
salesman,  no  business  man,  can  win  an 
outstanding  success  without  it.  Personal 
magnetism!  It  is  your  greatest  capital — 
greater  by  far  than  wealth,  than  good  looks. 
It  is  you,  made  magnetic!  It  is  you,  with  a 
personality  so  fascinating  and  irresistible 
that  people  are  drawn  to  you  as  steel  is 
drawn  to  a  magnet! 

My  Method  Releases  Your 
Personal  Magnetism 

No  long  course  of  study.  No  tedious 
mental  exercises.  Not  the  slightest  incon- 
venience or  self-denial.  Just  a  simple,  clear, 
age-old  principle  that  taps  the  vast  thought 
and  power  resources  within  you,  releases  the 
full  sweep  of  your  magnetic  potentialities — 
and  makes  you  almost  a  new  person  from 
what  you  were  before.  A  principle  that 
never  fails  to  work,  because  it  conspires 
with  Nature  to  make  you  the  dynamic, 
forceful,  fascinating  person  you  were 
intended  to  be. 

Not  Hypnotism — But 
Magnetism! 

Please  do  not  mistake  my  method  for 
hypnotism.  Its  laws  and  its  results  arc 
exactly  opposite.  Hypnotism  deadens — 
magnetism  imparts  a  joyous  exhilaration  to 
body  and  mind.  Hypnotism  paralyzes  the 
will — magnetism  animates,  inspires,  sharp-

Hollywood  I've  found  extenuating  evidence. 
Producers  are  not  the  most  appreciative 
mortals,  nor  are  directors  all  big-hearted.  I 
even  know  a  writer  or  two  who  is  not  always 
aglow  with  it.  So  far  as  business  goes,  it's  give 
and  take.  If  a  player  makes  good  with  a  pro- 
ducer he  deserves  proportionate  advance,  and 
the  producer  has  no  right  to  squawk  "lack  of 
appreciation"  if  some  other  producer  appre- 
ciates the  player  more. 

Xo  one  in  business  does  anything  for  the 
sake  of  receiving  appreciation.  If  he  does  he's 
demanding  something  that  a  Christian  has  no 
right  to  demand. 

Three  of  the  most  appreciative  people  I  have 
ever  known  are  players. 

TTEARDon  the  curb: 

-*■  -*-    One  bo  to  another:  "I  see  Gloria's  title 
is  no  good.    Serves  her  right  if  she  got  rooked. 
Why  didn't  she  give  a  home  boy  a  chance?" 
"She  did,  two  of  'em,  and  they  were  flops." 

"NJOW  that  Corinne,  la  bella,  has  been  pro- 
L^»  claimed  by  critics  the  Venus  of  earth,  the 
next  move  will  be  on  the  part  of  hygiene 
specialists  to  get  her  beauty  secrets.  Having 
known  Miss  Griffith  for  seven  vears  I  will  tip 
vou  to  the  truth. 


She  doesn't  use  any  make-up  on  the  street. 
She  doesn't  smoke. 

But,  on  the  other  hand,  she  doesn't  diet  and 
she  doesn't  exercise  at  anything  more  strenuous 
than  waving  a  fan. 

So  it's  back  to  the  tomb  of  Tut  for  that 
secret  of  secrets. 

\AICHAEL  ARLEN  is  in  much  the  same 
-'•"-'•position  among  penmen  that  Valentino 
was  among  movie  idols  day  before  yesterday. 
He's  the  sheik  of  the  syllable.  Hence  the 
target  for  invidious  mince-meat. 

Unlike  most  writers — and  most  actors — he 
doesn't  posture  gloomily  with  thoughts  of  art 
but  runs  his  fingers  gleefully  through  the 
shekels,  frankly  confessing  that  that's  what  he 
writes  for. 

He  recently  received  two  dollars  and  a  half 
a  word  for  an  article.  This  seemed  to  him 
sufficiently  amazing  to  afford  entertainment 
generally.  So  at  lunch  he  said.  "I'll  pay  the 
check."    And  he  wrote  the  word  "the." 

Upon  hearing  this  I  just  as  generously  and 
vaingloriously  offered  to  pay  the  hat  check,  and 
wrote  the  word  "a." 

But  the  effort  was  too  much.  Hereafter  art 
for  art's  sake.  Let  California  real  estate  pay 
the  checks. 


A  Visit  with  Emil  Jannings 


[  COXTIXULD  FROM  PAGE  47  ] 


your  favorite  prescription  here  the  year  round 
— and  as  for  light  amusement,  mirth  is  spelled 
m-u-r-d-e-r." 

"Whoever  told  you  was  a  liar,"  answered 
Jannings,  pleasantly.  "We  are  as  silly  as  you 
are,  and  we  like  it  just  as  much.  The  only  dif- 
ference is,  that  the  American  audience  never 
likes  to  be  serious,  or  when  it  is  serious  it  isn't 
honest.  It  likes  fair}'  stories  with  sentimental 
endings.  Little  girl  stories.  When  we  are 
serious  we  like  stories  with  some  probability  to 
them.  Maybe  the  endings  are  tragic.  Maybe 
not.  Just  as  the  story  would  seem  to  end 
naturally. 

But  if  you  don't  think  we  like  comedies, 
look  into  our  theater  —  anj'  evening.  The 
lighter  story  predominates  with  us,  in  the 
proportion  of  three  to  five,  and  two  out  of  three 
of  these  lighter  stories  come  from  America. 
Then  when  we  do  go  in  for  drama,  we  are 
realists.  Vour  people  will  be  also  .  .  .  some 
day  .  .  .  when  you  grow  up  and  find  that  not 
all  your  dreams  of  today  have  happy  endings." 

Pfitzner  interposed. 

"There's  a  fundamental  difference  in  the 
functions  of  the  screen — when  you  compare 
Germany  and  America.  In  America  screen 
actors  may  act  on  the  stage,  and  stage  players 
very  frequently  act  before  the  camera,  but 
there  is  no  relationship  between  the  two  arts. 
Personally  I  think  America  is  right — the  screen 
is  a  new  field 'of  expression,  and  will  develop 
its  own  material  just  as  it  has  developed  its 
own  players  and  its  own  methods.  But  here 
the  screen  is  an  adjunct  of  the  stage.  Vou 
people  think  of  Ilerr  Jannings  as  a  distin- 
guished screen  star.  He's  not  that  at  all.  He 
has  been,  and  is,  a  distinguished  star  of  our 
legitimate  stage,  and  the  screen  has  been  a 
different  medium  for  him  only  in  that  it  has 
immeasurably  widened  his  field." 

TANNINGS  got  the  drift  of  Pl'it/.ner's  inter- 
Jpolation — thereby  making  me  misdoubt  his 
Utter  lack  of  English.    He  interrupted. 

"My  whole  reputation  was  mad  on  the 
stage,  and  1  will  never  leave  it.  I  find  the 
screen  much  more  profitable — and  I  like  pic- 
tures.   So  I  will  never  leave  them,  either!" 

We  have  seen  him  in  so  many  parts,  all 
played  with  such  immense  gusto  and  physical 
force,  that  no  two  American  writers  seem  to 
agree  on  his  greatest  performance.     His  series 


of  historic  portraits — Louis  XV.  Hairy  VIII, 
Peter  lite  Great — equal  in  lifelikeness  and  con- 
temporary quality  his  series  of  brutal  or  un- 
fortunate moderns,  of  which  the  aged  doorman, 
in  "The  Last  Laugh,"  seems  to  be  the  subtlest 
as  well  as  the  tenderest.  I  asked  him  what 
role  he  liked  best. 

"I  have  no  favorite."  he  answered,  and  with 
instant  decision.  "I  only  ask — am  I  playing  a 
man?  A  great  many  stories  have  been  offered 
me  in  which  I  would  be  cast  as  something  less 
or  more  than  human.  I  will  not  play  a  man 
who  is  either  too  good  or  too  bad  to  live.  To 
be  exact,  I  will  not  play  any  fellow  who  is  all 
good,  nor  any  creature  who  is  all  bad.  There 
aren't  any  such  people!  I  despise  heroes.  I 
don't  believe  in  villains.  I  believe  only  in  men 
— under  varying  circumstances. 

"T3UT  this  is  true:  whatever  part  I  am  play- 
-L'ing — Hive!  Ask  my  wife!  She  will  tell  you 
that  for  weeks  I  have  been  the  damnedest  dog 
that  ever  ruined  a  home.  I  am  in  the  mood  of 
my  character  by  night  as  well  as  by  day.  It 
becomes  unpleasant  for  me.  as  well  as  for  other 
people.  When  I  played  Henry  VIII  my  wife 
was  afraid  I  was  planning  to  murder  her. 
When  I  played  Peter,  the  studio  manager 
thought  I  had  delusions  of  grandeur. 

"When  I  played  the  old  doorman,  in  'The 
Last  Laugh,  my  daughter  was  ashamed  to  be 
seen  on  the  street  with  me.  for  she  said  I 
shuffled  along  with  my  head  hanging  ...  I 
had  what  you  call  the  inferiority  complex,  and 
I  had  it  bad.  When  I  played  Xero,  I  ate  so 
much  I  gained  fifteen  pounds.  And  all  this  is 
not  a' pose  with  me;  it's  business;  I  can't  drop  a 
part  at  five  o'clock  at  night,  and  pick  it  up  at 
nine  o'clock  the  next  morning.  Some  actors 
can.  I  often  wish  I  could.  But  I've  tried  it — 
and  I've  lost  my  character,  and  whole  days' 
work  have  been  NG'd  while  I  was  trying  to  find 
it  again.  But  when  I  am  through  .  .  .  .  ! 
Then  I  am  just  Jannings.  a  lazy  fellow  who 
likes  to  eat  much  more  than  is  good  for  him.  to 
drink  a  little,  to  laugh  a  lot — and  look  at  the 
ladies!" 

And  in  truth  he  was  Jannings  then  ...  an 
easy  fellow  who  spoke  without  effort  and  with 
much  good  humor.  He  relaxed  in  his  chair,  and 
required  none  of  those  nerve-spurs  common  to 
the  American  interviewee — a  cigarette,  a  cigar, 
or  a  small  glass  of  outside-the-law.

"The  one  actress  1  have  seen  who  impressed 
me  with  great  possibilities  is  Gloria  Swanson. 
There  is  an  intelligence  there.  She  will  play 
real  women.  Her  vogue  will  not  end  be<  ause  01 
maturity.  The  trouble  with  screen  women  in 
America  is  that  when  they  are  oU\  enough  to 
know  anything  about  acting,  they  are  through." 

And  he  had  passed  tins  ludgment  on  Gloria 
without  having  seen  anything  later  than  her 
Hollywood  lilms  of  three  years  • 

Of  the  men.  lie  had  seen  more. 

"You  have  a  great   potential  artist   who 

should gO  farther— much  farther.     But  perhaps 

he  never  will,   though  he  has  brains,  poetry, 

dramatic  feeling,  the  sense  of  beauty  and  an 
overwhelming  imagination.  He  has  money, 
success,  fame  .  .  too  much  responsibility- to 
take  chances  .   .    .  Douglas  Fairbanks. 

"Of  your  young  leading  men  I  like  best  Rod 
La  Rocque.   There's  a  fellow  who  always  plays 

a  believable  man.  no  matter  how  the  story  tie-. 

him.  no  matter  how  the  director  binders  him  I" 

Tannings   is  an  optimist    about    America's 

him  future.  Says  it's  the  greatest  on  earth. 
Ol  all  the  Europeans,  he  seems  to  understand 
best  what  we're  trying  to  do.  and  the  per- 
haps devious  way  that  we  go  about  it. 

"  Europe  has  eonie  into  the  maturity  of  film 
art — big,  serious  stories,  great  dramas — too 
early.  Because  61m  technique  is  just  begin- 
ning. As  America  grows  in  artistic  apprecia- 
tion the  quality  of  her  film  material  will 
advance,  slowly,  just  as  screen  technique  grows 
into  something  greater  than  we  have  ever 
dreamed  of.  There,  the  mechanic  and  the 
artist  will  arrive  together — and  the  result  will 
be  magnificent." 

He  is — or  was,  when  I  saw  him — enthusi- 
astically planning  to  come  to  America. 

Lubitsch,  I  gathered,  had  fired  him  with  this 
resolution  to  see  the  Xew  World.  He  mi>-es 
Lubitsch.  He  would  like  to  work  with  him 
again.  It  was  always  a  collaboration  between 
tium.    But  of  this  he  said  very  little. 

"So  far,"  he  admitted  naively,  "no  one 
seems  to  want  me  there.  That  is  to  say,  no  one 
wants  me  on  the  terms  at  which  I  should  go. 
But  no  matter!  I'll  go  anyway,  in  a  few- 
months.  With  my  wife.  We'll  take  a  long 
vacation,  and  see  America  from  end  to  end." 

But  they  told  me  afterward — down  at  the 
Hotel  Adlon — that  Jannings  is  likely  to  do  no 
such  thing.  He  has  one  trait  in  common  with 
Harry  Lauder  .  .  .  they  are  both  such 
spendthrifts  ...  so  that  when  his  "vaca- 
tion" comes,  it  will  be  vacating  at  a  thousand 
a  week  or  so. 

THOUGHTS  of  an  outing  .  .  .  what  does 
this  big  fellow-  do,  when  he's  neither  resting 
nor  playing?    What's  his  fun? 

I  asked  him. 

\nd  the  answer  came  with  a  bang,  in  Eiilc- 
\hh— 

"The  girls!" 

"I  never  get  tired  of  women.  They  amuse 
me.  They  are  so  many-sided.  They  let  me 
down,  if  I  want  to  be  let  down.  They  pick  me 
up,  if  I'm  low.  (This  in  translation,  of  course.) 
They  make  life  worth  living,  because  a  woman 
— once  she  feels  at  ease  with  you — is  more 
natural  than  a  man.  Unconsciously,  she's 
more  human." 

A  quizzical  twinkle  came  into  his  eyes,  and 
he  murmured  something  to  Pfitzner  obviously 
not  intended  for  me. 

Pfitzner  laughed,  and  let  me  have  it,  anyway. 

"He  says  that's  the  only  thing  that  worries 
him  about  coming  to  America.  He  can  get 
along  without  liquor,  which  doesn't  bother 
him  much,  but  he's  an  incorrigible  flirt — and  he 
understands  that  the  newspapers  there  make 
mountains  out  of  golf-tees — that  they're  al- 
ways on  the  lookout,  with  well-known  people, 
for  a  possibility  of  scandal.    So  he  thinks  if  he

Miss  O.  H. 

You  might  be  a  few  pounds  heavier,  but  I 
wouldn't  worry  about  it.  It  is  better  to  be 
slightly  underweight  than  the  reverse.  If  your 
skin  is  free  from  blemishes,  that  is  the  best 
answer  to  your  questions.  Don't  worry  about 
it.  The  preparations  you  are  using  are  all 
excellent.  You  might  use  a  little  less  vanishing 
cream.  The  smarting  of  your  skin  simply 
means  the  cream  is  havi.ig  an  astringent  action, 
which  is  almost  always  beneficial. 

D.  K.,  Massachusetts. 

All  the  advertisements  in  Photoplay  are 
thoroughly  investigated,  and  their  products 
may  be  trusted.  Perhaps  you  have  not  dieted 
and  exercised  consistently.  Try  doing  without 
potatoes,  white  bread,  butter,  cream,  oils,  and 
substituting  green  vegetables  for  at  least  a 
month.  Eat  fresh  fruits  instead  of  candy,  and 
I  am  sure  you  will  reduce. 

N.  M.,  Kansas. 

I  would  wait  if  I  were  you.  Marriage  is  a 
tremendous  responsibility,  and  you  are  still 
only  a  little  girl.  No,  I  wouldn't  let  that  one 
trouble  stand  in  the  way,  but  I  do  think  you 
two  ought  to  have  a  little  money  saved  before 
starting  life  together.  Marriage  is  expensive. 
You  will  want  to  furnish  your  home,  for  one 
thing,  and  that  costs  a  great  deal.  Why  don't 
you  and  your  sweetheart  wait  a  year  more  and 
try  to  save  a  little  each  week  during  that  time? 
Savings  are  excellent  love  insurance. 

Winnifred  T. 

Be  careful  of  cold  creams.  Y'our  skin  is  too 
oily  now,  I  think,  to  use  them.  Use  more 
astringents  on  your  skin  instead.  Witch  hazel 
is  excellent  for  this  purpose.  See  that  your  skin 
is  very  clean  at  all  times.  Its  oily  tendency 
will  cause  it  to  gather  dust  quickly.  Use  one  of 
the  drier  soaps,  and  always  close  the  pores 
either  with  witch  hazel  or  ice.  You  ought  not 
to  be  so  pale.  Y'ou  probably  need  more  green 
vegetables  in  your  diet.  Yellow,  rose,  peacock 
blue,  light  green  and  tan  would  become  you. 
If  your  pallor  is  white,  you  can  wear  black,  but 
not  if  your  skin  tends  toward  yellow.

If  you  will  send  me  a  stamped,  self-addressed 
envelope,  I  will  be  glad  to  mail  you  definite  in-

pores.

I  wonder  if  you  mean  that  you  are  what  is 
generally  called  "pigeon  toed"?  If  you  are, 
one  excellent  thing  is  for  you  to  walk  bare- 
footed as  much  as  possible.  This  straightens 
the  feet  and  the  line  of  walking  as  nothing  else. 
It  would  also  help  you  greatly  if  you  could 
study  Greek  or  aesthetic  dancing,  provided  you 
do  it  exclusively  in  bare  feet  and  not  in  ballet 
or  other  slippers.  This  will  also  help  the  lines 
of  your  legs.    By  no  means  have  an  operation. 

Adalixe  R. 
Send  me  a  stamped,  addressed  envelope  and 

I  will  mail  you  instructions  for  reducing  your 
hips.  Yes,  rolling  is  excellent,  not  only  for  the 
hips  but  for  reducing  the  whole  body. 

M  w/ii'  in-  New  Jersey. 

The  easiest  way  to  overcome  sensitiveness 
and  self  consciousness  is  by  becoming  inter- 
ested in  cither  people.  The  reason  we  arc  self- 
conscious  is  because  we  are  most  interested  in 
ourselves.  When  we  feel  shy  in  public,  it  is  not 
because  our  attention  is  directed  upon  someone 
else,  but  because  it  is  directed  inward  upon  our 
own  personalities.  We  wonder  how  we  Appear, 
how  we  look,  if  our  voices  sound  strange  lo  the 
listener.     The  moment   we  turn   thai   interest 


outward,  toward  the  other  person,  all  shyness 
and  self-consciousness  vanish.  And  oh,  how 
grateful  the  other  person  is  to  you  for  your 
attention.  Your  letter  gives  evidence  of  an  in- 
telligent mind,  Maizie.  Put  your  good  sense  to 
work  and  conquer  this  social  fault  of  yours.  I 
am  sure  you  can  do  it.  When  you  are  going  to 
be  among  men,  try  to  find  out  beforehand  what 
their  particular  interests  are.  Ask  them  of 
those  and  do  listen.  In  a  little  while  you  will 
be  amazed  to  discover  how  genuinely  interested 
you  are,  for  everyone  with  whom  one  comes  in 
contact,  it  seems  to  me,  has  some  interesting 
facts  to  tell.  When  you  have  become  really 
interested,  you  will  suddenly  discover  you  are 
being  perfectly  natural  and  that  your  self- 
consciousness  is  gone.  For  another  thing, 
don't  think  of  yourself  as  "sensitive."  That  is 
a  sort  of  self  flattery,  and  sensitiveness  isn't 
anything  to  be  proud  of,  really  it  isn't. 

M.  M.  W. 

By  all  means  wear  "real  young  things." 
You're  only  twenty-four  and  that  is  very 
young,  even  if  you  are  married.  You  are  in 
excellent  proportion.  Yes,  I  think  you  are  too 
short  for  the  long  basque  and  circular  skirt,  and 
it  isn't  a  particularly  good  model  anyway. 
Wear  one-piece  dresses  as  much  as  possible,  or 
when  you  choose  a  two-piece  model  keep  it  in  a 
straight  line  frock  with  very  little  trimming. 
The  small,  untrimmed  felt  hats  are  smartest 
for  your  type.  You  can  wear  almost  all  colors, 
and,  being  as  small  as  you  are,  you  can  occa- 
sionally wear  some  extra  bright  color,  such  as 
brilliant  yellow  or  red.  That  would  make  you 
a  cheery  little  splash  of  color  against  the 
general  grayness. 

Madeline  D. 

I  wish  you  would  write  me  more  definitely 
about  yourself,  Madeline.  Just  how  tall  are 
you?  What  do  you  weigh  and  what  is  your 
coloring?  Gray  eyes  doesn't  explain  enough — 
there  are  so  many  shades  of  gray  eyes.  Of 
course,  you  don't  bore  me.  I  am  sure  I  can  help 
you  if  you  will  only  write  to  me  again  and  in 
detail. 

"Spud." 

What  a  nice  letter  yours  was!  And  what  nice 
parents  you  must  have!  Xow  for  your  ques- 
tions. Any  accomplishments  are  helpful  to 
popularity,  and  when  one  has  learned,  as  you 
have,  to  "be  yourself,"  in  addition  to  your 
social  gifts,  it  is  an  irresistible  combination. 
Y'es.  if  you  get  along  well  at  the  various  clubs. 
by  all  means  be  a  member  of  them.  There  is 
nothing  finer  or  more  helpful  in  life  than  a 
circle  of  good  friends.  Unless  there  is  some 
school  rule  against  it,  I  see  no  reason  why  you 
should  not  invite  the  young  man  to  the  senior 
dance.  That  is.  of  course,  if  your  parents 
approve.  Send  him  the  Xew  Year's  card.  He 
will  appreciate  your  attention  and  understand 
your  ignoring  the  other  holidays,  and  respect 
you  for  your  tact.  Men  usually  like  to  handle 
a  woman's  doorkey.  unlocking  doors  in  much 
the  same  moot)  and  manner  with  which  they 
open  doors  to  let  her  pass  through.  The  ame 
thing  rules  with  the  doorbell,  though  there  is 
always  this  to  remember — ringing  the  bell  or 
unlocking  the  door  signifies,  to  some  extent, 
that  the  engagement  o\  the  evening  is  over. 
Therefore,  the  gesture  comes  more  naturally 
from  the  girl  than  the  man.  Since  it  is  her 
home  to  which  they  have  come,  he  can  not  so 
readily  make  the  move  that  literally  sends  her 
indoors  and  away  from  him.  The  best 
etiquette  at  a  time  like  this  is  that  which  your 
experience  and  the  occasion  dictate. 

A  powder  with  a  yellow  base,  such  as  rachel,

I  have  mailed  you  under  separate  cover  in- 
structions for  diet  and  exercise".  I  think,  how- 
ever, that  it  might  be  well  for  you  to  consult  a 
pood  physician  regarding  your  trouble.  It 
seems  to  me  that  you  should  not  have  lost  your 
figure  as  much  as  you  have.  Since  you  like 
black,  it  is  one  of  the  best  shades  you  can 
choose.  It  is  becoming  to  your  coloring  and  it 
is  always  smart.  Hair  dressed  high  on  the  head 
isn't  very  smart  at  present. 

Draped  dresses  aren't  being  worn  this 
season.    Keep  to  straight  lines.

Your  weight  is  correct  for  your  height.  All 
the  tan.  yellow  and  brown  shades  should  be 
very  becoming  to  you.  Blue  depends  upon 
your  skin.  If  it  is  fair  enough,  you  can  wear 
dark  blue,  otherwise  avoid  it.  Let  black  and 
white  alone.  Certain  reds  and  pinks  should  be 
very  flattering,  and  you  might  try  violet  or 
purple  for  an  occasional  dress. 

Katherixe  K  ,  Pennsylvania. 

Y"ou  should  weigh  115  to  120  pounds.  You 
are  not  too  young  to  let  your  hair  grow.  No- 
body's doing  it,  of  course.  Bobs  are  conquer- 
ing more  heads  daily,  but  I  do  think  long  hair 
is  beautiful.  By  all  means  let  it  grow  if  it  is 
more  becoming  to  you.  I  have  heard  Listerine 
very  highly  recommended  for  dandruff.  High 
heels  are  smartest  for  formal  wear,  but  keep  to 
low  heels  for  business  and  walking.  Read  what 
I  said  to  "Maizie"  in  this  issue  about  self- 
consciousness.  The  simplest  styles  obtainable 
are  always  the  best  styles. 

Caroline  J. 

Your  hair  will  probably  keep  the  beautiful 
color  it  now  has.  Black  should  be  very  becom- 
ing to  you.  Delicate  shades  of  green,  the  green 
with  quite  a  little  yellow  in  it,  would  be  lovely, 
too.  Light  blue,  rose,  and  yellow,  too,  but 
avoid  brown. 

Cleo  S.,  Illinois. 

You  can  wear  all  of  the  pastel  colors,  and,  if 
your  skin  is  fair,  black  also.  Rose,  light  green, 
old  blue  and  black  in  velvet  would  be  lovely  for

"LET  me  SEE  something  better,"  says  the

something  better  in  an  automobile  may 
cost  several  hundred  or  perhaps  even

I  Have  Found  Out 

How  to  Get  Rid  of 

Superfluous  Hair 

Here's  the  Method 


I  had  become  utterly  discouraged  with 
a  heavy  growth  of  hair  on  my  face  and 
lip.  I  tried  many  ways  to  get  rid  of  it — 
depilatories,  electrolysis,  even  a  razor, 
but  all  were  disappointments. 

I  thought  my  case 
was  hopeless  until  I 
found  a  simple  meth- 
od which  hasbrought 
great  relief  to  me 
and  to  other  women. 

I  will  gladly  ex- 
plain to  any  woman 
who  will  write  to  me 
how  this  simple 
method  accomplish- 
es these  results. 

This  method  of 
mine  is  different 
from  anything  you 
have  ever  used — not 
apowder,  paste, wax 
or  liquid  ;not  a  razor, 
not  electricity.  At 
the  same  time  it 
makes  the  skin  more 
attractive. 

With  this  method, 
which  is  easy  to  use, 
you  willgetthe  same 
results  as  I  and  many 
other  women. 

Believing  my 
method  to  be  the 
best,  I  have  given  it 
my  own  name  — 
Lanzette.

A  book  that  tells  just  how  this  method  gets  rid  of 
superfluous  hair  is  free  upon  request.  Don't  send  a

you  for  evening  wear.  A  nose  always  looks 
larger  when  it  is  powdered  with  white.  Yes, 
you  are  quite  right  to  decline  a  supper  invita- 
tion if  you  are  tired  and  not  hungry. 


"Tina." 

Yes,  I  think  your  weight  is  right  for  your 
height.  You  can  wear  almost  all  colors  except 
brown,  but  I  think  the  lighter,  more  delicate 
colors  and  black  would  be  particularly  charm- 
ing on  you.  I  should  think  orchid  and  violet. 
yellow  and  yellow  green  and  pink  or  rose  would 
be  best  for  evening  wear.  Black,  no  brown, 
light  tan,  any  shade  of  blue  would  be  your  best 
friends  for  street  wear.  I  wouldn't  worry' 
about  my  nose  if  I  were  you. 

With  pretty  hair  and  beautiful  skin,  such  as 
you  have,  no  one  is  going  to  notice  a  tiny  bump 
on  your  nose  unless  you  make  it  conspicuous  by 
being  self-conscious  about  it.  I'm  sorry,  but  I 
do  not  know  about  the  face  exercises  you 
mention. 

Helen  M.,  Washington. 

If  you  will  send  me  an  addressed,  stamped 
envelope  I  will  be  glad  to  mail  you  instructions 
for  doing  away  with  blackheads. 

Lillian  R. 

Perhaps  it  is  your  illness  that  is  making  your 
skin  wrinkle.  Write  me  again  when  you  are 
well,  and  I  will  be  better  able  to  advise  you. 

Edith  M.  A. 

I  am  now  having  printed  some  booklets  on 
diet  and  exercising  and  I  shall  be  very  glad  to 
send  you  one  of  them  as  soon  as  the)'  arrive 
from  the  printers. 

"Anxious"  Salisbury. 

Send  me  a  self-addressed  stamped  envelope 
and  I  will  mail  you  instructions  for  dieting. 

Miss  Miller. 

You  are  in  a  very  hard  situation  and  it  is 
very  difficult  to  advise  you.  Your  friend  may 
be  sincere  with  himself  and  you  when  he  says 
that  he  loves  you  two  girls  at  the  same  time, 
but  it  isn't  true.  He  may  think  that  it  is,  but 
it  is  not.  True  love  is  exclusive.  It  seems  to 
me  your  problem  is  not  so  much  to  worry  over 
yourself  and  why  you  have  fallen  in  love  with  a 
man  who  loves  another  girl,  as  it  is  to  help  him 
understand  himself.  Seemingly  you  two  talk 
frankly  to  one  another,  and  that  shows  there  is 
the  bond  of  intelligence  and  sympathy  between 
you  as  well  as  the  emotional  attraction.  Try  to 
talk  it  out  with  him.  my  dear.  Be  honest  with 
yourself,  too,  and  face  the  fact  that  this  love 
doesn't  look  like  a  very  happy  one  for  you. 

Nellie,  Houston,  Texas. 

I  wouldn't  lose  ten  pounds  if  I  were  you. 
I'd  lose  twenty-five!  You  are  much  too  heavy 
for  your  height  and  age.  Get  rid  of  that  flesh 
quickly  and  I  believe  half  your  problems  will  be 
solved.  Hair  worn  close  to  the  head  is  very 
smart  this  season  and  straight  hair  a  little 
smarter  than  marcelled. 

The  colors  you  have  been  wearing  are  correct 
for  your  coloring,  but  you  may  safely  purchase 
the  orchid  dress,  though  I  wouldn't  wear  too 
much  make-up  with  it.  Swimming  is  one  of 
those  marvelous  exercises  that  reduces  you  if 
you  need  it.  or  adds  to  your  weight  if  that  is 
your  requirement.  It  is  better  to  eat  three 
very  light  meals  daily  for  reducing  than  one 
heavy  one.  The  heavier  perfumes  would  suit 
your  type  best. 

Gerda,  Milwaukee.  Wis. 

I  would  dye  the  n  bite  canton  crepe  of  which 
you  are  tired  henna  or  ox  blood.  You  should 
look  brilliant  in  either.  1  am  glad  you  are 
careful  to  choose  clothes  that  are  becoming  to 
you.  not  to  your  neighbors. 

Corliss,  San  Francisco. 

Exercise  and  regular,  well  proportioned 
meals  should  make  you  gain  although  you  are 
not  much  under  weight.  Drink  plenty  of  cold 
water  to  help  clear  your  complexion. 


Patty,  Chanlte,  Kan. 

As  nearly  as  I  can  tell  without  seeing  you,  I 
think  your  weight  is  about  right.  You  can 
wear  brilliant  colors  and  also  tan  and  brown. 


K.  C.,  Dodge  City,  Kansas. 

Indeed,  there  is  a  solution  to  your  problem. 
You  are  experiencing  the  readjustment  that 
many  women  have  to  go  through  when  they 
find  themselves  with  a  home  to  care  for  instead 
of  the  varied  activities  they  were  accustomed 
to  before  they  married.  If  you  were  given  the 
chance,  you  know  that  you  could  not  do  with- 
out your  baby  and  your  home.  Take  great 
pride  in  doing  the  mo-t  with  your  home  that 
you  can  on  the  small  amount  of  money  you 
have.  You  are  fortunate  in  having  had  an 
education  in  the  things  you  like.  Keep  up 
your  music  at  home  as  much  as  you  can.  This 
will  occupy  so  much  of  your  time  while  your 
husband  is  gone  that  you  will  forget  you  are 
lonely.  Keep  on  trying  until  you  make 
friends.  Each  new  thing  you  find  to  do  will 
take  your  mind  off  yourself.  You  are  thinking 
too  much  about  yourself  and  not  taking  advan- 
tage of  the  things  that  could  make  you  happy. 

Rub  flabby  flesh  with  ice.  This  is  a  splendid 
treatment  for  making  it  firm. 

Pauline.  Sayre.  Pa. 

Take  exercises  every  morning  before  you  eat 
your  breakfast.  Avoid  all  starches,  sweets  and 
rich  foods,  especially  anything  containing 
cream,  butter  or  oil.  Try  eating  dark  bread 
and  don't  eat  between  meals.  The  lamb  chop 
and  pineapple  diet  is  always  good.  Why  don't 
you  get  a  calory  chart  from  your  doctor  and 
avoid  all  the  foods  that  are  rich  in  calories?  As 
for  your  difficulty  in  expressing  yourself,  the 
best  way  to  acquire  a  gift  for  conversation  is 
practice.  Most  women  do  not  need  it.  Why 
don't  you  try  reading  Light  and  amusing  books? 
As  for  your  colors,  all  shades  of  blue  would  be 
becoming  to  you  and  also  reds  and  greens. 
Lavender  might  be  nice  for  a  change,  but  I 
wouldn't  try  yellows  or  browns.  • 

L.  L.  S.,  Providence.  R.  I. 

Your  weight  is  in  exact  proportion  to  your 
height.  If  the  weight  is  not  evenly  distributed 
that  is  awkward.  Rubber  bandages  are  in 
vogue.  These  reduce  the  parts  of  the  body  to 
which  they  are  applied.  Perspiration  is  in- 
duced by  the  rubber.  The  perspiration  carries 
away  the  fattening  oils. 

R.  C.  C,  Cleveland.  Tenw 

It  is  curious  but  true  that  hair  is  whimsical. 
You  say  yours  curls  naturally  and  prettily  at 
the  sides  but  not  above  the  forehead  and  at  the 
temples.  A  friend  of  mine  is  equally  impatient 
with  hers  because  it  has  a  perfect,  natural 
marcel  in  the  back  and  is  ■"merely  frizzy."  as 
you  say  yours  is.  in  front. 

Cultivate  the  fuzz.  Coax  it  by  brushing  for- 
ward, by  twisting  it  about  your  finger  and  by 
water  waves,  to  develop  its  latent  curline-s. 
Having  done  such  coaxing  every  evening,  tie 
that  part  of  your  hair  down  with  a  ribbon.  The 
ribbon  helps  to  train  it.  Eight  hours'  discipline 
a  day  will  do  a  great  deal  for  the  hair.  Wear 
another  ribbon  about  it  while  you  are  at  home. 
by  day,  until  you  have  trained  the  hair  in  the 
way  it  should  go.  You  can  even  pin  some  of 
the  recalcitrant  fuzz  here  and  there  into  a  curl. 

Don't  trouble  about  your  weight.  It  is  as 
though  ordered  for  your  height.  You  are  right. 
You  do  owe  to  your  husband  and  your  three- 
year-old  little  girl  that  you  look  as  well  as  you 
can.  Barring,  of  course,  extravagance  with 
time  or  money. 

Margaret,  Riegelville.  Pa. 

Acme  for  shyness  is  to  think  less  about  your- 
self and  the  impression  you  are  making.  Re 
interested  in  the  occasion  and  in  the  persons 
you  meet.  Show  that  interest  in  a  pleasant, 
modest  way.  Don't  compare  yourself  with 
others.  Be  yourself.  As  to  your  friend's 
method.  I  think  hers  is  wrong  and  yours  is 
right.  If  the  young  man  is  rude,  as  you  say, 
he  would  not  feel  deeply  a  firm  "No"  from

Try  a  dry  shampoo.  Some  excellent  ones

Wear  high-heeled  shoes  tor  the  more  formal

girl  with  an  inordinate  fondness  lor  sweets  you 
may  grow  too  plump.    If  that  i-  so,  restrain

F.  F.,  Forest  Hills,  L.  I. 

A  woman  with  your  qualifications  is  rare, 
and  while  the  positions  you  de-ire  are  not  so 
numerous,  there  are  many  of  them  eager  to  get 
someone  of  your  type  to  occupy  them.  I 
believe  you  could  get  in  touch  with  the  institu- 
tional situation  at  the  Charities  Building,  4th 
Avenue  and  22nd  Street.  New  York,  or  the 
Russell  Sage  Foundation,  Lexington  Avenue 
and  i:\id  Street.  The  V.  W.  C.  A.  employ- 
ment bureaus  should  be  of  assistance  to  you, 
also. 

Margaret  from  Providence. 

The  slim,  flat-chested  figure  is  the  smart  one 
this  year,  so  you're  really  lucky  to  have  one. 
Don't  tamper  with  it,  at  least  until  the  present 
mode  changes.  If  I  were  you  I  would  consult 
a  pood  physician  about  your  skin  trouble.  The 
symptoms  you  exhibit  are  readily  cured,  but 
they  may  arise  from  a  variety  of  causes  that  a 
good  doctor  should  diagnose. 

Vicky,  Rhode  Island. 

I  never  recommend  "flesh"  color  powder.  I 
think  it  is  very  trying  to  any  complexion  and  it 
is  never  in  good  taste.  Use  rachel  on  your  skin 
and  a  lighter  rouge.  The  tints  with  more 
yellow  than  red  in  them  would  suit  you  most. 

Mrs.  Martin  X.,  Montana. 

Both  glycerine  and  vaseline  ought  to  help 
your  skin  condition.  Use  glycerine  on  your 
hands  at  night  and  when  you  have  to  have 
your  hands  in  water,  rub  the  nail  margins  with 
vaseline.  If  your  hands  have  to  be  in  water  for 
a  protracted  period,  use  rubber  gloves,  if  pos- 
sible.   I  believe  this  will  help  you. 

Marguerite  H.,  Birmingham. 

I  would  be  careful  of  the  raspberry  shade. 
It  might  take  the  color  away  from  your  hair, 
and  auburn  hair  is  too  distinctive  to  let  that 
happen.  You  can  wear  delicate  shades  of  pink, 
however.  They  are  most  attractive  on  girls  of 
your  type.  A  light  rachel  powder  is  very  good 
for  you.  I  would  endeavor  to  keep  my  skin 
pale,  if  I  were  you,  to  emphasize  your  grey- 
green  eyes  and  the  tint  of  your  hair.  Your 
weight  is  satisfactory,  but  be  careful  not  to  get 
any  heavier.  Wear  pumps  with  a  long  last, 
since  your  feet  are  plump  and  short.  On  your 
small  feet,  high  heels  ought  to  be  charming. 
Don't  get  them  too  high,  however.  The  most 
satisfactory'  wardrobe  for  a  business  girl,  to  my 
mind,  always  centers  around  an  excellent 
tailored  suit.  Such  a  costume  is  correct  for  any 
hour  of  the  day.  It  is  perfect  for  busine-s. 
always  smart,  and  indicative  of  good  taste. 
You  ought  to  have  yours  tailored  to  order.  It 
will  cost  a  little  more,  but  it  is  worth  your 
sacrificing  other  things.  It  will  also  make  you 
appear  taller.

Lemon  for  the  Hair 

After  Shampooing 

— the  Finest  Rinse 
I've  Ever  Used 


"Next  time  you  wash  your

Gloria  Swanson  I  simply  cannot  take  seri- 
ously as  an  actress.  Enchanting  she  certainly 
is.  Like  Mrs.  Pat  Campbell,  she  has  a  keen, 
theatrical  instinct.  But  when  I  come  across 
the  contention  that  she  is  a  great  actress,  I  am 
both  astonished  and  amused.  Who  wants  her 
to  act,  anyway?  Do  we  ever  get  enough  of 
just  Gloria?  Do  most  people  want  Gloria 
covered  up,  melted,  transformed  into  some- 
thing and  somebody  else?  Certainly  not — and 
she  never  is.  She  is  always  Gloria  Swanson. 
Usually,  she  is  clever  enough  to  select  only 
those  things  which,  being  eminently  suited  to 
Gloria,  she  can  do  well,  vehicles  which  give  her 
the  appearance  of  acting  when,  as  a  matter  of 
fact,  she  is  still  just  being  herself.  But  let  her 
attempt  something  different,  something  really 
difficult,  with  shades  and  changes  over  a  wide 
range  of  real  characterization,  like  'Madame 
Sans-Gene,"  and  her  lacks  and  limitations  at 
once  reveal  themselves. 

To  Pola  Negri  must  be  credited  one  great 
performance — DuBarry,  in  "Passion."  But 
one  great  performance  cannot  and  does  not 
make  a  great  actress.  And  Pola  has  been 
giving  us  that  performance  in  different  guises 
ever  since.  Pola  has  irresistible  physical  gifts. 
She  has  a  really  fine  sense  of  color,  rhythm, 
form  and  a  positive  genius  for  momentary 
effects.  But  at  no  time  does  she  approach  the 
violent,  gorgeous,  creative  realism  of  Calve. 
She  never  gives  you  that  sense  of  stripping  a 
curtain  from  life  itself  with  a  ruthless,  power- 
ful hand  that  made  Calve  an  almost  fearful 
artist.  Negri's  work  is  marred  by  self-satis- 
faction. And  it  is  lazy  work.  Mentally  lazy. 
Tags  from  this  and  ends  of  that.  She  knows 
better.  She  can  do  better.  And  we  should 
insist  upon  her  doing  it.  But  there  is  no  actress 
on  the  stage  or  screen  who  can  give  you  so 
much  to  forgive  and  still  make  you  forgive  her. 

Personally,  I  consider  Lillian  Gish  the  most 
over-rated  actress  on  the  screen.  Hard  as  I 
try  to  be  charitable,  much  as  I  desire  to  be  just, 
and  anxious  as  I  am  to  give  every  shred  of 
credit  where  it  is  due,  I  boil  with  ungovernable 
rage  when  I  hear  her  referred  to  as  the  "Duse 
of  the  Screen."  Duse!  Lillian  Gish 's  narrow, 
strange,  immature  talent  compared  to  that 
great,  warm,  inspired  genius  that  was  Duse's. 
Oh,  no — the  very  thought  is  unfair  to  Miss 
Gish. 

IILLIAN  GISH'S  claim  to  the  name  of  a  great 
-'actress  is  founded,  not  even  upon  her  playing 
of  one  part,  but  actually  of  one  scene.  If  you 
will  honestly  stop  and  consider  her  perform- 
ances in  "Broken  Blossoms,"  "Hearts  of 
the  World,"  "Way  Down  East"  and  even 
in  "The  Clansman,''  you  will  see  that  this  is 
so.  The  frenzy  of  fear  and  anguish,  followed 
by  the  apparent  loss  of  all  reason  and  men- 
tality, the  daze  of  imbecility.  Miss  Gish  has 
exceptional  nervous  power,  combined  with  a 
physical  appearance  of  extreme  frailty.  She 
drives  this  nervous  force  into  a  frenzy  of  ex- 
cessive emotionalism,  and  as  her  physical  en- 
durance, which  is  very  slight,  nears  its  end, 
she  achieves  a  creditable  appearance  of  mad- 
ness. This  runs  away  with  her.  with  the  part, 
with  the  story.  It  docs  not  reach  out .  as  1  'use's 
most  delicate  gesture  could  do,  and  touch  you 
on  the  naked  heart.  It  simply  stirs  you  to  the 
sort  of  nervous  upset  ami  regret  (hat  you 
experience  alter  witnessing  a  street  accident.  I 
admit  that  to  witness  a  hurricane  or  a  whirl- 
pool in  action  is  an  amazing  sight  and  will 
bring  almost  any  crowd  up  standing  with  its 
mouth  open.  But  I  also  submit  that  it  is  not 
art,  is  not  great  acting.  And  I  further  believe 
thai  no  matter  to  what  heights  such  a  frenzy  of 
dashing  about  and  wringing  the  hands  may  go, 
it  can  never  move  the  audience  as  does  the 
comparatively  quiet,  sincere,  intelligent  meth- 
od of  such  an  artist  as  Noma  Talmadge. 


I  have  never  seen  Miss  Gish  give  but  one 
performance  that  even  approximated  charac- 
terization, or  that  had  the  faintest  elements  in 
it  of  invention,  continuity  of  development  and 
execution,  selection,  and  interpretation.  I  do 
not  believe  she  even  knows  the  meaning  of 
such  things.  Her  very  physical  contour  and 
the  construction  of  her  face,  beautiful  as  it  un- 
doubtedly is,  make  it  impossible  for  her  to  por- 
tray the  big,  generous,  soul  problems  that  make 
great  acting  possible.  And  I  sincerely  believe 
that  when  people  call  her  a  great  actress  they 
are  deceived  by  her  gusts  of  nervous  frenzy  and 
over-acting  and  have  not  soundly  considered 
her  work  as  a  whole. 

Miss  Gish  has  much  beauty  and.  as  a  t}-pe 
for  the  persecuted  and  betrayed  heroine,  she  is 
excellent  and  has  her  place  upon  the  screen. 
But  it  is  doing  both  her  and  the  public  a  real, 
artistic  injustice  to  continue  this  business  about 
the  "Duse  of  the  Screen." 

A  ND  now  let  us  come  to  the  acting  genius 
**of  Norma  Talmadge,  in  contrast  to  other 
screen  actresses. 

First  of  all,  with  Norma  Talmadge  every 
part  is  a  separate  and  distinct  creation.  And 
when  you  see  her  upon  the  screen,  you  never 
see  Norma  Talmadge.  You.  as  an  audience, 
know  absolutely  nothing  of  the  woman.  Norma 
Talmadge.  You  have  never  even  seen  her. 
Instead,  you  know  Dc  Luxe  Annie,  and  the 
Duchess  dc  Langcais,  Anne  Regan  and  the 
Princess  of  Graustark. 

When  Norma  Talmadge  becomes  the  shop 
girl  heroine  of  "Within  the  Law,"  she  doesn't 
become  her  for  the  "big  scenes."  The  very 
carriage  of  her  head,  the  very  movements  of 
her  hands,  the  whole  woman  changes.  There 
is  nothing  in  her  work  more  delightful  than  her 
unfailing  hold  upon  her  characterization.  She 
doesn't  stop  in  the  middle  of  it  to  give  you  a 
personal  aside  and  wink,  like  a  vaudeville  per- 
former. Nor  does  she  wait  for  the  high  dra- 
matic points  to  begin  acting.  Hers  is  the  in- 
evitable method  of  genius — the  intelligent  abil- 
ity to  make  those  big  situations  live  by  careful 
and  consistent  preparation  beforehand.  She 
knows,  as  Maude  Adams  always  knew,  that 
the  less  you  have  actually  to  do  at  big  moments 
the  better.  They  should  be  acted,  unfolded, 
until  they  exist  of  themselves,  and  thus  give 
the  minds  and  hearts  and  imaginations  of  your 
audience  a  chance  to  work  with  you  undis- 
tracted  by  so-called  "acting." 

It  takes  reason,  hard  work,  sublime  faith,  to 
give  the  world  great  acting.  There  is  no  in- 
tellectual vacuum  behind  Miss  Talmadge's 
work.  She  first  visions  and  understands  the 
part,  and  then  she  plays  it.  And  her  technical 
skill  has  reached  that  high  pitch  where  it  is  ab- 
solutely undiscernible  to  the  naked  eye.  With 
every  bit  of  skill  in  execution  that  it  is  possible 
for  an  actress  to  have,  she  still  gives  an  im- 
pression of  utter  spontaneity,  and  that.  I  as- 
sure you,  is  the  acme  of  art.  Probably  ninety 
percent  of  her  audiences  do  not  realize  that 
there  is  any  art  or  study  or  technique  behind 
her  performances. 

Miss  Talmadge  need  yield  to  no  one  for 
beauty  and  charm.  But  they  are  her  servants, 
and  not  her  slock  in  trade.  She  uses  them 
when  they  are  to  be  used,  but  she  will  sacrifice 
them  just  as  recklessly.  I  do  not  mean  by 
make-up.  as  she  did  in  "Secrets''  and  "The 
Lady."  but  in  the  emotion  of  the  moment. 
And  I  think  she  is  the  only  screen  actress  who 
has  realized  that  grace  on  the  screen  is  almost 
as  great  an  adjunct  to  fine  acting  as  beauty. 

The  scene  in  "Smilin'  Through."  when  she 
came  into  the  garden,  was  one  of  those  things 
that  looked  simple,  and  easy.  And  yet  I  doubt 
if  any  other  screen  actress  could  have  reached 
out  with  it  as  she  did.  could  have  played  it  so 
touchingly  and  beautifully.     Yet  contrast  it

with  the  vivid,  vulgar,  animal  life  oi  the  <  borua 
^irl  scenes  in  "The  Lady,"  whi<  h,  to  my  \\  .1  \  ol 
thinking,  were  much  finer  in  their  conception 
than  the  scenes  as  the  old  lady.  Contrast 
them  both  with  the  warm  voluptuousness  oi 
In-!  l>.il/..u  duchess,  that  intellectual  volup 
tuousness  that  enjoys  itself. 

And  1  shall  never  forget  the  way  in  which 
she  played  the  great  scene  in  "Secrets"  i  lu- 
scene  with  her  husband  after  the  other  woman 
had  been  there,  ["he  exquisitely  delicate 
touches,  the  way  she  looked  at  him,  the  way 
you  could  see  her  heart  beating  under  her  dress, 
the  way  her  woman's  soul  fought,  "»t  for  her 
silt',  but  for  him. 

EVEN  in  so  meagre  and  unworthy  <  role  as 
Princess  Yetive,  she  manages  to  ^i\e  some 
thing  fine,  to  actually  drag  the  silly,  trite  story 
up  into  a  glamour  of  romance  by  the  sheer 
power  of  her  acting.  And  sin-  gave  you  the 
feeling,  by  a  glance  that  lasted  only  a  fraction 
ol  a  second,  that  she  was  a  Princess,  and  that 
when  the  young  American  first  touched  hei  it 
was  the  opening  of  a  new  world,  the  birth  ol'  a 
woman  within  the  Princess. 

There  are  other  actresses  upon  the  screen 
who  cannot  be  passed  without  a  word,  in  any 
honest  review  of  screen  acting.  Just  why  Bel  e 
Daniels  has  failed  to  show  us  the  full  range  of 
her  ability.  I  don't  know.  Had  stories,  had 
direction,  had  handling.      Hut  she  has  it — she 

has  all  of  it.  I  think,  if  she  ever  gets  a  chance. 
Blanche  Sweet  is  a  perfect  technician.  If 
there  is  a  part  that  the  producers  aren't  sure  of, 
the  infallible  remedy  is  to  send  for  Blanche 
Sweet.  Hut  she  lack's  the  (lame.  I  think.  And 
Florence  Yidor  and  Marion  Davies  both  have  a 
really  splendid  genius  for  real  comedy  acting — 
Mrs.  Yidor,  for  the  quieter  kind,  made  famous 
by  Grace  George  and  Laura  Hope  Crews. 

Hut  if  you  will  stop  and  go  over  Miss  Tal- 
roadge's  work,  from  "Poppy,"  and  "Panthea," 
and  "The  Passion  Flower,"  through  "De  Luxe 
Annie,"  "The  Sign  on  the  Door,"  "Within  the 
Law"  and  "Smilin*  Through,"  to  "The  Eternal 
Flame,"  "Secrets"  and  "The  Lady,"  I  am  sure 
you  will  agree  that  she  is  our  one  great  actress. 


From  Pie'Eating  Champ  to

Her  playmates  called  her  "Ginger."  She  is 
just  the  kind  of  girl  you  would  call  by  that 
peppery  name.  Red-haired,  with  an  imper- 
tinent little  nose  that  was  flecked  with  freckles 
of  the  golden-brown  variety.  She  still  has  the 
red  hair — -and  the  freckles.  But  the  freckles 
have  faded  to  a  demure  little  trail  of  them 
across  her  piquant  nose,  and  the  hair  is  that 
deep  auburn  color. 

It  was  before  the  days  of  the  motion  picture 
and  the  greatest  neighborhood  excitement  was 
when  the  circus  came  to  town — or  the  medi- 
cine man  opened  his  show.  This  time  it  was 
Ferdon,  the  World's  Greatest  Medicine  Man, 
who  would  remove  warts,  superfluous  hair, 
tonsils  and  teeth,  all  with  one  application  of 
his  Marvelous  and  Unrivaled  Tonic  for  Man  or 
Beast.  You  know — you  have  lived  in  the 
glorious  past — you  know  all  about  Ferdon  and 
his  ilk. 

Margaret  and  her  mother  were  members  of 
the  gaping  crowd.  Ferdon  announced  that  he 
was  to  stage  a  mammoth  and  mastodonic  pie- 
eating  contest.  Blackberry  pie  was  the  piecc- 
ie-resistance.  All  comers  were  to  mount  to  the 
platform.  Margaret  decided  to  enter.  Mother 
said  "Xo!"  emphatically.  By  devious  means 
Margaret  left  mama  and  climbed  to  the  plat- 
form. She  was  the  only  girl  contestant  'midst 
a  flock  of  lads.    But  she  didn't  care. 

The  blackberry  pie  was  one  of  those  luscious 
confections  that  drips  and  splashes.  It  did. 
The  one  who  finished   first  was  to   whistle.

When  winds  blow  raw  and 
chill  and  rheumatism  tingles  in 
your  joints  and  muscles, get  out 
your  good  friend  Musterole. 

Rub  this  soothing  white  ointment 
gently  over  the  sore  spot.  As  Muster- 
ole penetrates  the  skin  and  goes  down 
to  the  seat  of  trouble,  you  feel  a  gen- 
tle, healing  warmth;  then  comes  cool- 
ing, welcome  relief. 

Better  than  the  old-fashioned  mus- 
tard plaster,  Musterole  works  without 
the  blister  Grandma  knew. 

For  croupy  colds,  sore  throat,  rheu- 
matism and  congestion  of  all  kinds,  rub 
on  Musterole.  Don't  wait  for  trouble; 
keepajaror  tube  on  the  bathroom  shelf. 
To  Mothers:  Musterole  is  also  made 
in  milder  form  for  babies  and  small  chil- 
dren. Ask  for  Children's  Musterole.

Margaret  was  first — with  a  mouthful  of  pie  in 
her  mouth  she  whistled.  And  she  literally 
sprayed  the  audience  with  half-masticated  pie 
which,  in  her  haste,  she  had  neglected  to 
swallow.    But  she  won. 

And  that  night  she  ate  her  supper  standing! 

Margaret  was  to  be  a  stenographer.  She 
went  to  the  West  Side  High  School  and  learned 
all  about  scrolls  and  pothooks.  Also  typewrit- 
ing. Then  entered  Romance  in  the  shape  of  a 
Montana  cattleman  from  the  great  open 
spaces.  Margaret  was  to  marry  him.  She 
went  to  Los  Angeles  to  purchase  her  trousseau. 

A  visit  to  Los  Angeles  was  not  complete 
without  seeing  the  Selig  Zoo,  so  with  another 
girl  she  trekked  there.  There  was  the  lion,  the 
kangaroo,  the  rhinoceros  and  the  giraffe.  All 
as  big  as  life.  She  decided  the  giraffe  was 
hungry  and  fed  him  with  tempting  morsels  of 
grass. 

Along  came  a  distinguished-looking  gentle- 
Tnan  with  gray  hair  and  whiskers.  Sounds  like 
the  Menace — but  it  really  isn't. 

"Don't  you  know,  little  girl,  that  it  is  very 
foolish  to  feed  an  expensive  animal  like  that? 
You  might  poison  him,'' said  the  nice  man,  who 
was  not  the  Menace. 

Margaret  went  over  to  the  park  bench  and 
sat  down.     She  was  hastily  followed  by  her  i 
friend. 

"Be  careful  of  strange  men,  Margaret!  He 
might  be  a  white  slaver  and  steal  you!" 

But  Margaret  didn't  give  much  credence  to 
her  friend's  warning.    She  was  not  to  be  kid- 
napped, though.     When  the  nice  gray-haired 
man  came  over  to  her  and  asked  if  she  had  ever  I 
been  in  pictures,  she  said: 

"No,  I  never  have  and  I  don't  want  to!"    It  I 
sounded  final. 

"If  you  ever  want  to  try,  come  to  the  Selig 
Studios  and  ask  for  me,"  the  benevolent 
whiskered  gentleman  said. 

"Would  you  give  my  friend  here  a  job,  too?  " 
queried  "Ginger." 

"Certainly!" 

"We'll  be  over  this  afternoon!" 

And  that  was  Margaret,  the  pie-eating 
champ's  first  introduction  to  pictures. 

Mother — back  in  Salt  Lake  City — heard  of 
daughter's  escapade  and  sent  an  immediate 
command  to  return  to  home  and  fiance. 
Margaret  did.  But  instead  of  marrying  her 
Montana  cattleman  and  becoming  a  rancher's 
wife,  it  was  written  that  she  was  to  return  to 
Hollywood  and  the  films.    Her  fiance  died. 

Margaret  returned  to  Hollywood,  where  she 
gained  considerable  experience  as  an  extra,  and 
sometimes — when  good  fortune  smiled — she 
played  bits  and  tiny  parts.  But  all  was  not 
easy  and  the  path  to  immediate  fame  was  not 
rose  strewn.  The  flu  epidemic  made  its  tragic 
appearance,  and  its  hoary  breath  halted 
activity  here,  there,  and  in  Hollywood.  When 
the  cameras  ground  again  Margaret  found  it 
impossible  to  procure  bits  and  parts  and  was 
forced  to  the  extra  line. 

THEN  one  day  she  was  one  of  the  mob  at  the 
Ince  studio  in  a  picture  that  Henry  King 
making.  King  sighted  her,  was  impressed  by 
her  effervescent  personality  and  sent  for  B.  B. 
Hampton  who  was  to  produce  "The  House  of 
Youth"  with  H.  B.  Warner.  "There's  the  girl 
you  want  for  your  feminine  lead  in  Warner's 
picture." 

And  she  got  the  part — following  it  by  other 
featured  roles. 

It  was  about  this  time  that  Margaret  won 
another  distinction  to  add  to  her  pie-eating 
medal. 

It  may  sound  a  bit  dubious.  The  old  saying 
is  "truth  is  stranger  than  fiction."  And  not 
being  an  onlooker — or  even  possessing  an 
ouija  board — how  can  wo  tell?  She  is  the  only 
girl  outside  of  his  wife  who  ever  kissed  Will 
Rogers! 

Clarence  Badger  was  directing  "Water. 
Water  Everywhere,"  in  which  Will  Rogers  was 
his  usual  whimsical  self.  Margaret  was  in  the 
cast.  Now  Badger  knew  that  Will  would  never 
submit  to  being  kissed.  It  had  been  tried 
before.

"Leave  it  to  me!"  s.iitl  Margaret,  \\\i\\  a

Tin-  cameras  were  set,  Margaret  waited  in 
theomng,  Willstepped  from  the  train,  ami  with 
his  inimitable  bashful  grin  looked  at  the 
cameras.  A  little  red-headed  whirlwind 
pounced  on  him  and  kissed  him  quite  in  the 
center  of  the  mouth.    Will  looked  aghast. 

she  kissed  him  again-'-and  again. 

Instead  of  fainting,  Will  feinted,  lie  sparred 
with  thin  air.     And  the  cameras  ground.     I'i'.t 

they  recorded  the  fatal  osculation. 

Gee!"  said  Margaret  her  conversation  is 
engagingly  interpolated  with  "ta-es,  goshes 
and  gollys" — "Will  was  embarrassed!    lie  got

But  she  probably  wouldn't  enter  a  pie-eating

"There  was  a  marvelous  moon!"  Anthony 
sighed. 

"And  we  danced.  ..." 

"  Every  dance  together! "  He  was  aware  of 
something  like  a  pain  beneath  his  shirt-front. 
Never  had  any  woman  seemed  so  utterly 
desirable' 

"  And  you  told  me  the  story  of  your  life.  .  .  ." 

"Did  1?  Good  heavens,  what  a  bore  that 
must  have  been!" 

"I  didn't  think  so — then."  She  smiled — a 
sad  little  smile.  Then  brightened.  "But 
don't  tell  it  to  me  again  tonight." 

"That  evening  will  always  be — "  His  eyes 
were  pathetic.     "Oh,  Sylvia,  won't  you — " 

Across  the  room  a  tall  grandfather  clock 
cleared  its  throat  and  struck.  Motionless  they 
listened,  and  at  the  stroke  of  twelve  Sylvia 
sprang  to  her  feet. 

"  'S  midnight!     I  must  go." 

"You're  not  going." 
Not  going?     Don't  be  absurd."     Her  deli- 
cate eyebrows  arched.     "Please  have  Hodge 
bring  my  cloak." 

"  You  sha'n't  go!"  cried  Anthony,  blocking 
the  way.     "I  won't  let  you." 

"And  why  not?"  Annoyance  in  her  dark 
eyes. 

"Because  I— well,  because!"  stammered  the 
unhappy  young  man. 

"Your  reason  is  excellent.  Nevertheless — " 
a  toss  of  her  golden  head — "I'm  going!" 

"Then."  begged  the  scion  of  the  Merivales 
eagerly,  "let's  compromise." 

"There's  another  man  waiting  to  compro- 
mise me  now!" 

"You  sha'n't  go  to  him!"    His  voice  choked. 

"What  right  have  you  to  stop  me?" 

"What  right?"  Anthony's  hands  clenched 
desperately.  "Because  I— because  I  love 
you!" 

Sylvia's  shoulders  drooped.  She  closed  her 
eyes,  her  eyes  that  the  dull  gentleman  invari- 
ably compared  to  flowers.     "Say  that  again. " 

"I  love  you!"    He  said  it  again— breath-

lessly.     "I    didn't    know   unti 
much — how  terribly  much. " 

"When  people  love  other  people 
terribly  much,  there's  only  one  solution — 
marriage."  Her  voice  was  very  gentle. 
"  Marriage — that's  what  you're  afraid  of.  You 
dread  the  very  word.  And  so  you'd  made  up 
your  mind  to  run  away  from  it  all?" 

"What?" 

"Yes,  running  away  from  a  girl  who  was  too 
good,  too  virtuous,  not  enough  pep.  Some- 
times you  almost  wished  she  were  a  different 
sort  entirely:  Sophisticated,  bold,  worldlj — 
even  mercenary-.  A  girl  with  whom  you  might 
have  an  affair — and  then  forget  about!" 

"Sylvia!"  His  own  words!  He  stared  at 
her,  his  mouth  open. 

"You're  like  millions  of  other  men,  Tony. 
You  want  something  there  isn't." 

"Something — there  isn't?" 

"  Yes.  A  good  bad  woman— or  a  bad  good 
woman.  Well,  there's  no  such  woman  on 
earth.  A  woman  is  either  good  or  bad,  and 
you'll  have  to  take  her  for  what  she  is." 

"Then  for  Heaven's  sake,"  he  demanded, 
"what  are  you?" 

"I — I'm  not  the  girl  I've  pretended  to  be 
tonight. " 

"Pretended?" 

"I  must  tell  you,"  she  went  on,  meeting  his

Then,  as  I  arrived,  the  door  was  open.  I 
couldn't  help  hearing  what  you  said.     So — '' 

"Darling — I  didn't  know  what  I  v. a-  talking 
about!  But  this  other  man — let  me  go  down 
and  tell  him  you  aren't  coming." 

"You  wouldn't  find  him,  Tony." 

"I'll  find  him,  all  right!"  grimly. 

"Xo — because  he  doesn't  exist. " 

"What?" 

"I  invented  him.  I  invented  the  whole 
story.  I  didn't  even  drink  that  champagne — 
poured  it  all  in  the  bucket.  Well — which  kind 
of  girl  do  you  want?     I  can  be  either. " 

"I  want  yuit,  Sylvia!" 

"Ah,  but  which  me?"  Her  eyes  were  shin- 
ing. 

"The  real  you!     Will  you  marry  me?" 

"Yes,"  said  she — or  words  to  that  effect. 

One  second  later  she  was  in  his  arms. 

One  minute  later  Hodge  appeared  in  the 
doorway. 

"I  just  looked  in,  sir,  to  see  if  you  have 
everything  you  want — " 

"I  have!"  shouted  Mr.  Merivale.  "Get 
out!" 

"Right  you  are,  sir,"  beamed  Hodge,  and 
withdrew,  closing  the  door  softly. 


What  is  IT? 


CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  31  ] 


Next  on  our  list  was  Norma  Shearer.  It 
cometed  her  into  the  stary  film  firmament 
almost  overnight. 

Norma  was  gowned  in  the  latest  from 
Oshkosh  —  lisle  stockings,  school-teacherish 
walking  shoes,  ill-fitting  suit  and  most  impos- 
sible hat.  But  in  spite  of  her  outlandish  garb, 
necessitated  by  her  latest  picture,  a  glimmering 
of  that  intangible  quality  radiated  in  her  eyes. 

"What  is//?" 

Norma  blinked — and  thought. 

"Just  a  moment — I  will  have  to  ponder  on 
that! 

"I  think  Madame  Glyn's  It  is  a  magnetic 
force,  partly  physical  and  partly  mental. 
People  that  possess  this  quality,  to  my  way  of 
thinking,  need  not  necessarily  be  beautiful — or 
handsome — but  are  usually  electric,  having  a 
great  force  of  life  or  vitality.  By  this  they 
make  us  conscious  of  their  presence — they  at- 
tract our  attention  when  they  enter  a  room — 
they  dominate." 

That's  the  Shearer  //. 

*  *     * 

Now  comes  Cecil  B.DeMille, creator  extraor- 
dinary of  films  reeking  with  //. 

Another  pelt-laden  room,  this.  Quite  differ- 
ent from  the  Glyn  abode  and  more  like  an 
ancient  hunting  lodge.  Across  a  broad  expanse 
of  desk  sat  De  Mille,  arms  folded  on  the  shining 
edge,  eyes  piercing  the  space. 

"  You  ask  what  It  is? 

"Could  the  radio  be  explained  in  a  few 
words? 

"Could  the  gradual  unfoldment  of  life  on 
this  great  planet  be  recorded  in  a  brief  para- 
graph? 

"Then  how  could  //  be  interpreted  on  a 
single  page? 

"It  is  what  makes  the  world  go  around.  It 
is  life  itself." 

"Yes.  Mr.  De  Mille!"  said  wc. 

Thus  the  De  Mille  It.    It  assumes  mighty 

proportions. 

*  *    * 

Pola  Negri  is  reputed  to  have  a  vast  quan- 
tity of  the  precious  quality.     Poland's  great 

actress  was  discovered  in  her  dressing  room. 

••  !■',!'  Eei  ees  a  magnetic  personality.  The 
strong  individual  qualities  of  a  man  or  woman 
that  attract  other  people  to  them. 

"Eei  does  not  require  beauty,  wealth,  or

necessarily  great  talent.    Eei  ees  sufficient  in 
eetself!" 

You  have  the  Negri  definition. 

*  *     * 

It  was  a  somber  panelled  room.  A  handsome 
man  with  neat  black  mustache  paced  the  floor. 
George  Fitzmaurice,  who  has  more  pulsating 
pictures  and  feivid  films  to  his  credit  than 
America  has  beauty  contests,  was  talking. 
Fitzmaurice  is  of  Irish  parentage,  but  French 
birth  and  rearing  flavor  his  life. 

''It.'  The  French  have  a  phrase  that  is 
applicable  to  that  indefinable  something — it  is 
Je  ne  sais  qitoi — 'I  don't  know  what.' 

"As  I  have  said.  77  is  that  indefinable  some- 
thing that  makes  one  woman — or  man — more 
attractive  than  another. 

"You  cannot  say  that  this  actress  has  It  or 
that  actress  has  It.  Some  may  say  that  Lillian 
Gish  has  It.  others  that  Nita  Naldi  has  ft.  And 
more  than  likely  the  person  who  glimpses  77  in 
Lillian  Gish  cannot  see  the  same  quality  in 
Nita  Naldi.  77  is  a  matter  of  mentality  and 
personal  ideals. 

"It  is  fe  ne  sais  qitoi!" 

*  *     * 

Dashing  across  the  United  lot  we  caught  a 
glimpse  of  Rudolph  Valentino,  resplendent  in  a 
furry  Russian  uniform. 

"Oh,  high  and  mighty  Fagle.  what  is  It?" 

The  figure  wheeled  on  its  military  heel.  The 
eyes,  known  for  their  slumberous  allure,  looked 
query. 

"Sou  ask  me  to  define  It.' 

"I  confess  I  am  a  bit  confused  as  to  the 
meaning  of  the  term.  One  day  I  read  an 
advertisement  quoting  Flinor  Glyn  as  saying 
that  Rex.  the  cquinine  actor,  has  //.  I  read  a 
magazine  article  the  following  day  about  a 
beautiful  actress  saying  that  she  has  //.  Now 
just  what  these  two  have  in  common,  I  don't 
know! 

"It's  beyond  me!" 

We  wonder!

Paul  Bern  is  next  to  be  consulted.  Bern,  as 
you  arc  aware,  knows  more  about  women  and 
kindred  subjects  than  does  Kipling's  well- 
known  character.  We  found  him  in  his  little 
office  at  the  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  studio. 

He  ruminated  upon  our  query.  And  then 
spoke — weightily:

Supposing  It  Were  Your  Daughter

for  the  ch-mp-gne  bottle  thai  fell  with  its  val- 
iant care-taker.  "Just  as  well.  He'd  heard 
about  all  there  was  to  hear.  Been  here  three 
weeks." 

"lit  us  continue  the  discussion  then,"  says 
Mr  II  .  taking  up  the  letter  which  had  been 
riddled  by  the  spontaneous  ovation. 

"Why?"  grumbles  the  Lady  of  the  House, 

who  at   heart   is  a  coward  and  lover  of  ease. 

"It's  hard  enough  to  get  servants  without 
shooting  them  away  on  your  fan  mail." 

"  Remember,  you're  speaking  to  a  movie  cel- 
ebrity," says  Baby  bitterly.  "The  day  you 
don't  listen  to  his  fan  mail,  that  day,  sweet 
woman,  you  edge  yourself  off  for  the  divorce 
courts." 

Mr.  H.  ignores  the  remark  as  he  has  just 
noted  a  passage  in  the  letter  which  says  that 
the  writer  considers  him  a  man  of  letters  on  a 
par  with  Sir  Walter  Scott. 

"What  did  Sir  Walter  Scott  write?"  asks 
Papa  brightly. 

"Who?"  demands  Mama. 

"Whoops!"  laughs  Kiddie.  "He  doesn't 
write.  He  played  the  lead  with  Pola  Negri 
in  'Flower of  Night.'  " 

"Well,  how  should  I  know?"  grumbled 
Mater.  "Hollywood  is  so  full  of  starving 
nobility  and  rich  Armenians,  you  don't  know 
who  acts  and  who  writes  and  so  forth.  Any- 
how, what  does  it  matter  so  long  as  he  didn't 
write  'The  Green  Hat'?  I  never  heard  of  any 
other  writer  paying.  (She  glances  darkly  at 
Father.)  And  the  nobility  are  just  as  poor 
around  here." 

At  this  point  a  telegram  arrives  and  is 
opened  by  Mother.  She  bursts  into  sobs  that 
wrench  her  bosom,  an  architectural  feature  of 
unusually  sound  construction,  which  shows 
how  violent  was  her  grief. 

"Who  died  poor?"  asks  Baby,  stretching  for 
the  bell  with  her  tootsie  and  stamping  furious- 
ly, at  the  same  time  yelling,  "Food!" 

"It's  from  the  kitchen,"  gulps  Mother  mid- 
way between  bawls.  "Lilly  the  cook  has  re- 
signed. Says  she  can't  afford  to  raise  her 
daughter  in  this  atmosphere.  Yah-hoo!  hoo! 
hoo!" 

"Is  that  your  Alma  Mater  yell  you're  giv- 
ing?" demands  Baby.    "  So  Lilly  has  resigned. 


That's  tin-  loom  I'm  you,  I  luv  want  In  be 
ladies  and  we  want  to  be  cool  Well,  I  mi|i- 

|x>sc  there  isn't  any  chance  of  more  food  then. 
What  time  was  that  telegram  sent  from  the 
kitchen?  Seven  thirty?  Thelast  course musl 
have  arrived  by  now.  Anyhow.  I'm  certainly 
not  going  to  walk  the  two  miles  down  that 
badly  decorated  hall  to  find  out.    Back  to  the 

canned  sardines  of  my  infancy,  I  suppose." 

"It's  so  hard  to  keep  help,"  sighs  the  Lady 
of  the  House,  glancing  at  the  slain  form  of 
Walker  stretched  appropriately  on  the  tloor 
just  where  a  little  moonbeam  steals  through 
the  window  and  makes  a  Belasco  aura  about 
the  old  gray  ebony  head.  "So  hard  to  keep 
help.  If  the  world  only  knew  the  struggles  we 
movie  people  have  to  go  through  I  guess  they 
wouldn't  envy  us  so  much." 

"  Hut  after  all  we  have  one  another."  ex- 
claimed Mr.  II.  extemporaneously,  at  the  same 
time  jotting  the  line  down  in  his  little  book  for 
future  use. 

Baby  picks  up  a  bottle  and  glances  mis- 
chievously at  Papa,  but  finally  tucks  it  under 
her  arm  and  toddles  of!  toward  the  door. 

"You  haven't  answered  Papa's  question  yet, 
cherub,"  calls  Mr.  H.  reproachfully.  "What 
advice  are  you  going  to  give  this  old  man  whose 
daughter  wants  to  go  into  pictures?" 

"Ah,  tell  him  to  be  sure  she  can  hold  her 
licker,"  coos  Baby  in  her  cunning  patois  as  she 
patters  off  to  the  nursery  to  say  her  prayers  at 
her  old  nurse's  knee,  who  unfortunately  is 
ossified. 

A  T  this  point  the  Famous  Movie  Authority 
•*  *-is  awakened  by  Walker's  "  Breakfast  ready, 
sir." 

So  it  was  all  a  horrible  dream  after  all!  (Tag 
devised  to  get  by  Pennsylvania  censors.) 

There  is  no  Mommer,  there  is  no  Kiddie, 
there  is  no  beebee  shot  in  the  bracer.  Only 
Walker,  and  he's  alive,  alive! 

But  there  is  the  letter  from  the  old  Sire 
whose  daughter  would  go  into  pictures.  And 
the  Famous  Movie  Authority,  raising  himself 
with  the  customary  effort  writes:  "My  advice 
concerning  your  daughter  is — shoot  her,  as 
painlessly  but  as  definitely  as  possible."

Confessions  of  a  Movie  Critic

remark  about  its  being  much  better  to  see  a 
picture  in  the  projection  room  without  music 
than  in  the  theater  with  music  —  because  the 
music,  at  least,  keeps  you  awake — is,  of  course, 
Very  good. 

When  your  criticism  is  printed,  your  friends 
either  wonder  who's  been  taking  you  out  to 
lunch,  or  they  didn't  see  it — "I  love  your 
stuff — just  what  paper  is  it  that  you  write 
for?" 

You  always  read  it  yourself,  'however,  and 
find  that  the  make-up  man  threw  out  sev- 
eral sentences  because  of  a  last  minute  ad — 
and  those  sentences  are  always  the  brilliantly 


epigrammatic  ones.  Last  week  so  many  of  my 
really  snappy  lines  were  cut  out  that  only  three- 
theaters  quoted  me  in  their  advertisements. 

CRITICISMS,  interviews,  accounts  of  the 
assistant  ticket-taker's  annual  banquet,  or 
any  other  cinematic  comment,  always  result  in 
mail,  in  effusive  and  vari-tintcd  quantities 
Mothers  and  relatives  confide  that  Minnie  or 
Clayton  can  do  the  cutest  tricks,  and  that  all 
the  neighbors  just  know  that  Minnie  or 
Clayton  would  make  grand  stars  if  they  had 
the  chance — and  how  do  you  go  about  getting 
children  into  the  movies  anyway?

Modest  maidens,  on  blushing  notepaper, 
write  and  tell  me  that  their  friends  tell  them 
they're  a  super-combination  of  Pickford, 
Swanson  and  Xegri.  And  they'd  like  to  go 
into  the  movies,  only  is  it  true  that  a  girl  has 
to — oh,  you  know — to  be  a  star? 

Young  men,  inclosing  snapshots,  request  a 
rendezvous,  so  I  can  advise  them  as  to  whether 
they  ought  to  see  Jesse  or  Marcus  first.  Bank 
presidents  and  elevator  starters  let  me  know 
that  they  have  a  whale  of  a  scenario,  only 
they're  afraid  to  send  it  directly  to  the  film 
companies  because  they've  heard  that  pro- 
ducers steal  ideas,  and  never  pay  the  original 
authors. 

To  say  nothing  of  the  blue,  white  and  pink- 
papered  notes  from  "Constant  Reader," 
"Bright  Eyes,"  and  "Babe,"  who  want  to 
know  how  tall  is  Lochinvar  TrL\;  is  Camille 
Delight  really  her  own  name;  and  would  Con- 
way Shriek  send  a  photograph  if  one  enclosed 
one's  own  in  return? 

But,  now  and  then,  some  criticism,  interview 
or  column  produces  a  verbal  reaction.  In  that 
event,  when  someone,  for  some  reason,  insists 
that  your  stuff  is  awfully  good,  and  that  they 
read  it  all  the  time,  the  pose  de  rigeur  is  to 
smile  inscrutably,  to  cast  the  eyes  upward  and 
with  the  unconscious  and  unfailing  penetration 
of  the  self-admitted  humorist,  to  murmur: 

"My  one  reader!" 


The  7ic.xl  installment  of  these  amazing  nuta- 
tions will  appear  in  next  month's  issue  of  this 
magazine.  It  will  be  hard  for  you  even  to  wail  a 
whole  month,  so,  to  avoid  disappointment,  ask 
your  favorite  newsstand  to  save  you  a  copy.  My 
subject  will  be,  "Celebrities  Who  Have  Met  Me."

it."     She  would  know  that  there  was  never 
any  in  it  and  never  meant  to  be. 

I  go  to  see  James  Cruze's  pictures  with  a 
confidence  which  I  do  not  accord  any  other 
director.  He  has  never  disappointed  me.  and 
I  believe  he  never  will.  The  most  convincing 
proof  of  his  genius  I  know  of  is  the  life  he 
instilled  into  Ricardo  Cortez  in  "The  Pony 
Express."  Cruze  is  the  screen's  surest  direc- 
tor.

Mr.  Barrie.  Rescue  Betty 

Montreal.  Canada. 

Betty  Bronson  is  the  most  adorable  child  I 
have  ever  seen  on  or  off  the  screen.  Our  Mary 
Pickford  makes  a  charming  little  tomboy,  but 
she  can  never  compete  with  Hetty.  Mary  may 
be  the  greater  actress,  the  more  versatile  and 
beautiful,  but  the  one  with  the  perfect,  die 
ideal  child  face — ah,  that's  Betty. 

Then  why  not  give  her  child  roles?  Why 
make  a  woman  of  this  youthful  wonder?  She 
reminds  me  of  those  exquisite  little  cherubs 
often  seen  on  beautiful  old  paintings,  and  that 
Hit  through  one's  dreams.  Please.  Mr.  Barrie, 
come  and  rescue  Betty  and  give  her  some  more 
child  stories.

Adolphe  Menjou,  Isaluteyou!  Voursuave, 
smiling,  cynical  man-of-the-world  air  pleases 
me  to  the  marrow. 

Does  not  Menjou's  cynical  air  of  sophistica- 
tion and  indifference  seem  more  like  every  flay 
life  than  the  romantic  "I  love  you — love  me 
or  I'll  die" — parts  of  Valentino,  Cortez  and  a 
few  other  sheiks?

K.kI  Indian 

Glendale,  Calif. 
I  was  thrilled  when  1  first  heard  that  -iu  h  a 

Cicture  a>  "The  Vanishing  American"  was 
eing  contemplated,  for  1  have  lived  in  Navajo 
land  and  love  it,  and  must  say  it  contains 
material  for  an  extraordinary  picture  that 
would  equal  "  Kirth  of  .1  Nation 

But  it  is  a  hitter  disappointment  tlt.u  so 
worthy  .i  production  as  this  picture  i>  ruined 
by  the  silly  attempt  of  a.  white  man  to  play  an 
Indian.     No  white  man  can  emulate  an  1  ndian. 

As  Indians  are  excellent  actors,  it  is  difficult 
to  understand  why  one  was  not  used  for  the 
leading  role  instead  of  Richard  Dix. 

Directors  seem  to  believe  that  any  dark-eyed 
Caucasian  with  a  make  up  can  act  like  an 
Indian.  The  Red  Man  possesses  certain 
inimitable  traits,  both  in  features  and  conduct, 
that  no  white  man  can  achieve,  and  least  of  all, 
Richard  Dix.

A  Tip  for  Miss  Nissrii 

Boston.  Mass. 

If  Greta  Nissen  thinks  it  really  necessary  to 
appear  on  the  screen,  will  she  please  wear  more 
tailored  clothes  and  a  hat  that  conies  well  down 
.ner  her  face,  and  stop  emoting  with  such 
;usto? 

I  should  like  to  see  Lewis  Stone  and  Alice 
|6yce  play  together — they  are  both  such  fin- 
ished actors. 

Where  is  Zasu  Pitts  keeping  herself?  She 
ip|K'ars  in  a  picture  just  often  enough  to  let 
me  know  she  is  still  a  wonderful  actress. 

Let  us  have  more  Adolphe  Menjou  and 
Percy  Marmont  pictures.  Ford  Sterling's 
lantomime  in  "The  Trouble  with  Wives" 
imused  me  more  than  any  other  sign  language 
i  have  seen  on  the  screen. 

Bebe  Daniels  certainly  deserves  to  be  a  star 
>ecause  'She  is  so  versatile,  and  she  deserves 
nuch  praise  for  having  worked  up  from  a 
jathing  girl  to  a  very  finished  actress.  The 
■ame  goes  for  Gloria  Swanson. 

I  wish  there  were  more  Alan  Dwans.  I 
hallenge  anybody  to  find  the  slightest  flaw 
n  anv  of  his  pictures.

Any  Lovis  Stone  Fans? 

Idaho  Falls.  Idaho. 

Why  does  no  one  ever  rave  about  Lewis 
Hone?  I've  never  seen  much  curiosity  about 
lim  from  any  of  the  readers,  and  I  think  he  is 
ibout  the  best  actor  on  the  screen  today.  I 
ike  an  actor  who  plays  the  part,  and  not  him- 
;elf,  as  do  so  many  of  our  dearly  loved  players. 

Another  on  whom  I  have  a  mad  crush  is 
•"lorence  Yidor.  I  never  miss  one  of  her 
uctures.  She  and  Lewis  Stone  would  be  a 
:reat  team.

Appreciation  for  Chaplin 

Portland.  Maine. 

Here's  a  bouquet  for  Charles  Chaplin,  who, 
n  my  opinion,  is  the  finest  artist  of  them  all. 

It  is  difficult  to  express  the  great  enjoyment 
[  derived  from  seeing  "The  Gold  Rush.'' 
'erhaps  this  enjoyment  was  all  the  keener  on 
iccount  of  Charlie's  long  absence  from  the 
.creen. 

Please  make  another  picture  soon,  Mr.  Chap- 
in.  The  theme  is  a  matter  of  supreme  indiffer- 
■nce,  so  long  as  vou  write,  direct  and  act  in  it.

1  am  trying  to  figure  out  how  George  Barr 
McCutcheon  allowed  anyone  to  butcher  his 
wonderful  story,  "Graustark,"  even  though  it 
was  Norma  lalmadge  and  others.  I  have 
attended  Movie    rheaters  on  an  avers 

four  times  a  week  for  the  last   i  |  years,  and  ol 

all    the    disappointments,    this    is    the    woist 

Why  Norma  allowed  herself  to  he  entangled 
in  this  mess   is  beyond   my  comprehension, 
especiallj  when  Francis  X.  Bushman  and  Be> 
erly   Bayne  made  such  a   wonderful  picture 

from  t  he  story 

We  are  told  that  pictures  are  getting  belter. 
Phase  don't  joke  with  us.

Bouquet   for  Fairbanks, 

Producer 

Long  Beach,  Calif. 

The  writer  from  the  beauty  shop  in  Buffalo 
has,  unquestionably,  the  right  to  express  her 
likes  and  dislikes,  but  it  seems  to  me  she  is 
assuming  undue  responsibility  when  she 
attempts  to  speak  for  her  8oo  customers. 

I  have  not  missed  a  Douglas  Fairbanks  pic- 
ture since  the  "Mark  of  Zorro,"  and  surely  I 
am  not  alone  in  my  liking  for  Fairbanks  pic- 
tures, judging  from  the  newspaper  reports  of 
his  income  tax,  and  they  say  that  figures  don't 
lie.  His  fans  are  undoubtedly  numerous,  but 
probably  not  the  type  to  write  motion  picture 
magazines,  as  do  the  Jack  Gilbert  devotees.  I 
take  into  consideration,  too,  that  Douglas 
Fairbanks  is  not  only  an  actor,  but  a  very  fine 
producer.

Good  Idea 

Detroit,  Mich. 

As  a  constant  reader  of  Photoplay,  I  want 
to  offer  you  a  little  advice. 

Your  magazine,  especially  the  cover,  is  now 
being  imitated  by  several  other  publications. 

The  average  reader  in  a  hurry  guabs  what 
he  thinks  is  Photoplay  and  often  finds  he 
has  the  wrong  magazine. 

I  was  thinking  that  a  star  placed  on  the 
cover  would  be  a  good  drawing  card,  a  dis- 
tinction and  a  remembrance. 

It  is  a  magazine  of  stars  and  your  motto 
might  be,  "Look  for  the  cover  with  the  star." 
Such  an  idea  could  doubtless  be  patente  i. 
Clifford  Louis  Thorxe. 

A  Real  Fan 

Yellow  Springs,  Ohio. 

I  am  a  motion  picture  fan  who  has  lost  my 
hearing  almost  entirely.  I  cannot  hear  the 
human  voice  without  a  good  deal  of  pain. 

I  am  certainly  grateful  to  you  motion  picture 
people  for  the  pictures,  because  I  can  enjoy 
them.  It  is  the  only  kind  of  entertainment 
that  I  can  enjoy  because  it  hurts  me  to  try- 
to  listen  to  someone  speaking,  even  a  lecture. 
It  certainly  would  be  dull  for  me  without  the 
movies. 

I  wish  everyone  all  the  good  luck  that  they 
can  have,  and  that  means  a  lot  of  it.

Speaking  of  Pictures 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PACE  2  J  } 


T\TOT  a  single  sex  or  society  drama 
..•is  included  among  the  first  fifty. 
The  leader  of  the  entire  list  is  "The 
Ten  Commandments,"  which,  when 
it  was  released,  Photoplay  advised 
every  man,  woman,  and  child  to  see. 
Westerns  and  pictures  with  an  his- 
torical theme  won  twenty-six  places 
in  the  first  fifty,  and  twelve  out  of 
the  first  fifty  were  based  on  Zane 
Grey  stories.  "The  Covered  Wag- 
on," Photoplay  Gold  Medal  Win- 
ner of  1923,  and  "Abraham  Lin- 
coln," winner  of  the  1924  medal, 
were  in  the  first  seven.  "Robin 
Hood,"  winner  in  1922,  was  also  a 
winner,  despite  the  fact  that  it  has 
been  out  three  years.  Of  course  it 
must  be  borne  in  mind  that  many 
fine  pictures  have  come  out  recently, 
such  as  "The  Merry  Widow," 
"Stella  Dallas",  and  "The  Big 
Parade,"  which  have  not  had  a 
chance  to  play  in  very  many  theaters. 
Out  of  four  comedies  in  the  first 
fifty,  three  were  Harold  Lloyd's. 


It  is  a  great  compliment  to  Photo- 
play that  nearly  every  picture 
among  the  first  fifty  was  endorsed 
by  it. 

The  first  twenty  pictures  on  the 
list  are: 

"The  Ten  Commandments." 

"North  of  36." 

"Charley's  Aunt." 

"The  Thundering  Herd." 

"The  Covered  Wagon." 

"The  Freshman." 

"Abraham  Lincoln." 

"Sally." 

"Riders  of  the  Purple  Sage." 

"The  Hunchbackof  Xotre  Dame." 

"The  Rainbow  Trail." 

"The  Sea  Hawk." 

"When  a  Man's  a  Man." 

"The  Lost  World." 
America. 

"The  Thief  of  Bagdad." 

"A  Girl  of  the  Limberlost." 

"Peter  Pan." 

"Hot  Water." 

"The  Pony  Express."

Gloria,  Don't  Sling  Hash! 

Omaha,  Nebr. 
Just  saw  Gloria  Swanson  in  "Stage  Struck," 
and  I  am  sorry  to  say  I  witnessed  her  finish  as 
far  as  pictures  are  concerned.  Why  put  an 
actress  of  ability  in  a  silly  comedy  that  hasn't 
one  redeeming  feature?  The  next  time  Gloria 
visits  our  city  I  shall  turn,  her  down,  as  I  can 
never  again  see  her  except  as  a  towsled  headed 
hash  slinger.  The  whole  audience  was  dis- 
gusted.

He  Wants  'Em  Cold 

Xew  Castle,  Pa. 

I  saw  in  your  December  issue  the  comment 
or  criticism  on  the  lack  of  realism  and  common 
sense  shown  in  our  films. 

The  scene  in  "The  Shock  Punch"  where 
Richard  Dix  was  perched  on  a  girder  catching 
hot  rivets,  not  bolts,  is  ridiculous.  The  picture 
amused  me.  as  did  the  criticism.  In  steel  con- 
struction the  steel  members  are  put  together 
with  fitting  up  bolts  cold,  then  later  they  are 
replaced  with  hot  rivets  by  a  riveting  gang.

Corinne's  Coming  Along 

Mobile.  Alabama. 

1  have  written  you  about  four  times  in  praise 
of  my  beautiful  Corinne  Griffith  but  the  letters 
diil  not  appear.  There  is  one  statement  1  wish 
to  make:  If  all  Corinne's  knockers  will  see  he-t- 
in "Classified" — and  still  knock — then  I  give 
up. 

This  is  the  lust  real  story  that  has  been  given 
her.     In  it  she  proves  what  she   can   do.     I 


hope    the    producers    will    continue    to    give 
Corinne  Griffith  stories  like  "Classified."' 

She  is  by  far  the  most  beautiful  star  on  the 
screen,  and  she  has  made  successes  out  of  the 
trashy  stories  by  her  acting  and  irresistible 
charm. 

Jack  B.  Lamptox. 

It  ou'll  Be  Sorry 

Philadelphia.  Pa. 

Say,  what  in  the  name  of  peace  and  common 
sense  is  the  matter  with  Gloria  Swanson? 
Each  picture  I  see  her  in  is  worse  instead  of 
better.  I  know  Gloria  can  act.  better  than 
any  of  them,  but  there's  something  wrong 
somewhere. 

"The  Coast  of  Folly"  was  hurried  too  much 
and  I  didn't  like  Gloria  as  an  old  woman. 
I  haven't  seen  "Stage  Struck"  yet,  and  I 
don't  think  I  will  see  it.

Oh!  Oh!  Readers 

Montreal.  Canada. 
I  don't  believe  there  was  a  letter  in  th<| 
December  Photoplay  that  I  could  agree  with 
If  these  letters  indicate  the  taste  of  the  movit 
fans.  I  sympathize  with  the  artists  and  pro 
dvicers  who  try  to  give  us  better  films.  Thinl 
of  finding  fault  with  such  graceful  actors  a- 
Douglas  Fairbanks  and  Mr.  Valentino,  ant 
admiring  Ren  Lyon,  Xorma  Shearer.  Richan 
Dix  and  Ricardo  Cortez.  Naturally  the  pro 
ducers  won't  make  better  films  if  the  public  i 
satisfied  with  this  kind  of  acting.

Down  wi l It  the  Ancient  Lover! 

Oakland,  Calif 

I  am  a  rabid  mo\  ie  fan  and  I  want  t<>  registei 
Bay  emphatic  and  strenuous  objection  to  th< 
ancient  lover! 

If  the  heads  of  the  big  movie  companies 
knew  ,i>  much  about  feminine  psychology  a- 
they  do  about  piling  up  dollars,  they  would 
surely  relegate  these  has-beens  into  the  limbo 
of  things  forgotten.  Or  at  leas!  give  them 
parts  to  play  where  their  gray  hairs  and  tired 
eyes  would  not  outrage  all  ideas  of  romance, 
harmony  and  fitness. 

Youth  calls  to  youth,  and  the  sight  of  on 
elderly  ardor  reciprocated  by  youth  and  beauty, 
is  repulsive  and  almost  indecent!  It  is  far 
from  convincing.  For  say  what  you  will,  no 
beautiful  young  jjirl  can  feel  anything  but 
repulsion — from  a  sex  standpoint — for  a  man 
old  enough  to  be  her  father;  so  the  love  -he  i- 
trying  to  portray  for  her  ancient  lover  is,  I 
repeat,  not  convincing. 

There  are  two  that  are  often  heralded  as  the 
perfect  lovers.  In  fairness  I  won't  mention 
their  names,  but  every  fan  knows  whom  1 
mean.  They  are  both  artists.  They  make 
love  artistically,  but  no  young  girl  wants  to  be 
made  love  to,  artistically  or  otherwise,  when 
the  meltin;,'  glances  shine  from  eyes  surrounded 
with  crow's  feet  and  the  tender  smile  breaks 
the  face  into  a  mass  of  wrinkles. 

What  the  girl  wants,  what  the  audience 
wants — what  the  world  wants — is  to  see  a  love- 
scene  with  two  young  things.  White  lingers 
straying  through  locks  of  brown  or  blonde — 
not  gray!  Red  lips  pressed  against  firm 
voting  lips — not  those  with  perhaps  a  set  of 
alse  teeth  behind  them.  Young  eyes,  lit  with 
the  fire  of  youth,  gazing  into  eyes  that  speak 
the  same  language,  not  world-weary  old  eyes. 
As  these  two  "perfect  lovers"  of  a  decade 
tgo  are  still  in  their  prime  as  men  and  actors, 
f  not  as  youths  and  lovers,  they  might  still 
Jay  romantic  roles,  but  make  them  unloved 
overs.  Cast  them  as  tolerated  husbands,  but 
lot  as  men  loved  by  girls  young  enough  to 
>e  their  daughters.

Nothing  Wrong  with  the  Movies 

Mountain  View,  Cal. 
Thare  has  been  much  talk  al  out  what  is 
vrong  with  the  movies,  but  so  far  as  I  know 
he  blame  has  never  been  definitely  placed 
>ome  say  the  actors  are  at  fault,  some  say  the 
lirectors,  some  the  producers,  while  the  pro- 
lucers  lay  the  blame  on  the  people.  To  me  it  i- 
11  one  grand  mix  up. 

I  don't  think  there  is  anything  i  i  particular 
vrong  with  the  movies. 

By  this  I  do  not  mean  there  are  no  poor  pict- 
ures because  there  are  and  I  have  seen  them 
hough  I  try  to  avoid  them.    The  picture  busi- 
es- i-  like  any  other  business.    There  is  always 
certain  percentage  of  the  product  that  does 
lot  reach  the  level,  and  here  the  percentage  is 
aturally  higher  as  there  is  a  greater  gamble. 
Look  at  the  automobile  industry.    There  is  any- 
umber  of  poor  machines,  but  does  that  mean 
he  business  is  a  failure?    Certainly  not.  When 
man  sets  out  to  purchase  a  machine  he  tries 
h  pick  a  good  one;  so  what  is  to  prevent  the 
heatergoer  from  as  carefully  selecting  his  pic- 
lire  entertainment?

End  These 
Pains 


ON c  1 :  a..ain  science  adds  joy 
to  living  by  a  new  discov- 
And  this  discovery   is  so 
far-reaching  that  it  will  benefit 
over  twenty  million  people. 

Almost  everyone  at  different 
times  suffers  from  aching,  pain- 
feet  and  legs.  Many  think 
their  pains  result  from  being 
tired  or  that  they  come  from 
rheumatism,  sciatica  or  other 
similar  diseases.  But  in  thou- 
sands of  cases  there  is  an  even 
more  serious  cause.  Only  re- 
cently has  science  discovered  it. 

When  muscles  'weaken 

The  foot  is  composed  of  in- 
numerable muscles,  sensitive 
nerves  and  tiny  bones. 

The  bones  are  arranged  to  form  two 
arches.  One  is  a  hidden  arch  few  people 
know  about,  ex- 
tending across  the 
foot  from  the  lit- 
tle to  the  big  toes. 
The  other  ex- 
tends along  the 
foot  from  heel  to 
toes,  forming  the 
instep.  It  is  the 
function  of  the 
muscles  to  hold 
the  bones  form- 
ing these  arches 
in  place. 

Now.  say  the 
specialists,  mod- 
ern shoes,  and 
other  things  too, 
cause  the  muscles 
to  weaken.  As  a 
result  the  bones 
spread  from  over- 
strain—arches sag. 

The  forward 
arch  falls  first, 
throwing  the  en- 
tire foot  structure 
out  of  balance. 
Then  the  instep 
breaks  down  and 
completely  gives 
way.  Bones  crush 
delicate  blood 
vessels  and  sensi- 
tive nerves.  The 
pain  becomes  un- 
bearable.

callouses  on  ball  of  foot,

Other  Symptoms:  Tired, 
aching,  burning  sensa- 
tions. Shooting  pains 
when  stepping  on  un- 
even surfaces.  Shoes 
feel  uncomfortable  and 
seem  too  small.  Feet 
become  sensitive. 


Science  corrects  misplacements 
Pains  vanish  like  magic 

Difficult  as  this  might  seem  to  correct, 
science  has  found  a  simple  yet  astonishingly 
effective  remedy.  To  strengthen  the  mus- 
cles exercise  is  necessary.  So  science  pro- 
vides a  thin,  strong  super-elastic  band  to 
assist  the  muscles  in  holding  the  bones  in 
place.  It  takes  the  pressure  off  the  nerves 
and  helps  nature  strengthen  the  muscles 
through  constant  use.  This  band  is  the 
Jung  Arch  Brace.  The  secret  of  its  suc- 
cess lies  in  its  correct  tension,  in  its  scientific 
contour  and  design. 

Rigid  supports  merely  offer  temporary 
relief  and  tend  to  further  weaken  the  mus- 
cles by  supplanting  their  natural  functions. 
But  this  soft,  pliable  band  can  soon  be  dis- 
carded entirely,  so  quickly  does  it  do  its 
work.  And  from  the  instant  you  slip  it  on 
you  can  dance,  run.  walk  or  stand  without 
the  slightest  twinge  of  pain. 

So  light  and  thin  is  this  band  that  it  can 
be  worn  with  the  sheerest  hose,  the  tightest 
and  most  stylish  high-heeled  shoes.  Phy- 
sicians say  that  it  is  the  one  scientific  way 
to  restore  the  natural  structure  of  the  foot. 
They  urge  you  to  make  the  test  offered  you 
here,  without  delay.

<lAt  the  fashionable  Patio,  in  Xew  Orleans, 
where  the  aristocratic  younger  set  meet  for  tea 
and  dancing  in  the  afternoon. 

Among  the  debutantes  of  New  Orleans  and 
other  Southern  cities,  Woodbury  s  is  preferred 
nine  times  over  to  any  other  toilet  soap. 


the  ^Debutantes  of  the  South 

this  soap  is1\[ine  times  as  popular  as  any  other 


They  have  become  a  legend 
with  us — the  beautiful,  adored 
women  of  the  South. 

From  childhood  their  beauty  is 
prized,  worshipped  by  the  men  of 
their  families. 

And  almost  the  loveliest  thing 
about  a  Southern  beauty — the 
feature  for  which  she  is  most  cel- 
ebrated —  is  her  wonderful,  ca- 
melia-clear  skin. 

Mow    [)()   YOUNG   SOUTHERN    GIRLS  of 

today  keep  that  smooth,  perfect  skin 
of  theirs?  What  soap  do  they  find, 
pure  enough  and  fine  enough,  to 
trust  their  complexion  to? 

A  personal  investigation  among 
the  society  girls  of  the  South 
brings  out  the  fact  that  an 
overwhelming  majority  of 
them  are  using  Woodbury's 
Facial  Soap  tor  their  skin. 


Among  the  debutantes  of  six  repre- 
sentative Southern  cities — New  Or- 
leans, Savannah,  Birmingham,  Nash- 
ville, Richmond,  and  Atlanta — Wood- 
bury's is  nine  times  as  popular  as  any 
other  toilet  soap. 

Its  mildness — its  purity — and  its 
wonderful  effect  in  keeping  the  skin 
free  from  all  blemishes  and  detects— 
these  are  the  reasons,  given  by  the 
debutantes,  for  preferring  Wood- 
bury's to  any  other  soap. 

Why  Woodbury's  is  perfect 
for  the  skin 

A  skin  specialist  worked  out  the 
formula  by  which  Wood- 
bury's is  made.  This  for- 


mula not  only  calls  for  absolutely  pure 
ingredients,  it  also  demands  greater  re- 
finement in  the  manufacturing  process 
than  is  commercially  possible  with  ordi- 
nary toilet  soap. 

Around  each  cake  of  Woodbury's  Facial 
Soap  is  wrapped  a  booklet  containing  spe- 
cial cleansing  treatments  for  overcoming 
common  skin  detects,  such  as  blackheads, 
blemishes,excessiveoiliness,etc.  A 25c cake 
lasts  amonthoc  six  weeks. 

Within  a  week  or  ten 
days  after  beginning  to 
use  Woodbury's  you  will 
see  an  improvement  in 
your  complexion.  Get 
your  Woodbury's  today 
and  begin  tonight  the 
treatment  your  skin 
leeds!

HARQ 


LLOYD 

and  PARAMOUNT 

Harold  Lloyd's  decision  to  release  his 
productions  through  Paramount  is  inter- 
esting to  fans  everywhere. 

It  is  fitting  that  the  leading  individual 
exponent  of  clean,  wholesome  screen 
comedy  should  be  allied  with  the  world's 
foremost  screen  organization. 

Harold  Lloyd  has  gone  steadily  from 
success  to  success.  Perhaps  there  has 
never  been  such  a  tremendous  mint  of 
comedy  as  the  world  found  in  his  last 
picture,  "The  Freshman." 

Now  comes:

Harold  Lloyd's 
next  production

Directed  by 
Sam  Taylor 


Grouches  should  be  careful  to  see  this  picture 
while  they  are  alone,  or  they  will  lose  their  repu- 
tations forever. 

Harold  Lloyd  is  king  of  laughter  today  for  the 
simple  reason  that  laughter  follows  him  as  rain- 
bows follow  summer  showers. 

Harold  Lloyd's  productions  are  made  by  the 
Harold  Lloyd  Corporation,  and  the  public  can 
rest  assured  that  his  pictures  will  always  be  clean. 

Paramount  is  proud  to  pay  the  great  comedian 
this  tribute  and  to  have  the  privilege  of  releasing 
"For  Heaven's  Sake ! "  Ask  your  theatre  to  book 
it  early,  and  let  you  know  the  date.

That 

Costello 

Girl 

She  came  to  the  Rivoli 
theatre  of  Broadway  and 
the  Pastime  of  Main  Street 
unannounced — and  she  is 
the  most  discussed  new- 
comer of  years.  Outside 
the  fact  that  she  is  the 
daughter  of  Maurice  Cos- 
tello no  one  knew  anything 
about  her.  Ivan  St.  Johns 
has  written  her  story  for 
next  month's  Photoplay 
and  it  is  a  mighty  interest- 
ing one.  She  got  an  oppor- 
tunity to  make  good,  and, 
my,  she  went  to  it  like  a 
young  Duse  or  baby  Bern- 
hardt. 

How  Did 
Moses  Cross 
the  Red  Seo? 

How  did  Jack  Gilbert  fix  his 
leg  so  that  it  appeared  am- 
putated on  the  screen  in  "The 
Big  Parade"?  Everyone  who 
has  seen  the  picture  is  asking 
that  question.  How  are  all 
those  seemingly  miraculous 
and  thrilling  effects  achieved 
in  the  pictures  you  see  every 
day  ?  Out  in  Los  Angeles  are  a 
number  of  expert  chaps  who 
are  always  called  in  when  a 
difficult  piece  of  work  is  to  be 
accomplished.  We  will  tell 
you  how  they  do  it  next 
month.

AS  a  special  service  to  its  readers, 
Photoplay  Magazine  inaugu- 
rated this  department  of  tab- 
loid reviews,  presenting  in  brief  form 
critical  comments  upon  all  photoplays 
of  the  preceding  six  months. 

Photoplay  readers  find  this  depart- 
ment of  tremendous  help — for  it  is  an 
authoritative  and  accurate  summary, 
told  in  a  few  words,  of  all  current  film 
dramas. 

Photoplay  has  always  been  first 
and  foremost  in  its  film  reviews. 
However,  the  fact  that  most  photo- 
plays do  not  reach  the  great  majority 
of  the  country's  screen  theaters  until 
months  later,  has  been  a  manifest 
drawback.  This  department  over- 
comes this — and  shows  you  accurately 
and  concisely  how  to  save  your  mo- 
tion picture  time  and  money. 

You  can  determine  at  a  glance 
whether  or  not  your  promised  eve- 
ning's entertainment  is  worth  while. 
The  month  at  the  end  of  each  tabloid 
indicates  the  issue  of  Photoplay  in 
which  the  original  review  appeared.

New  York  City. 

AFTER  the  year  1925  let  every  critic  who 
has  told  us  what  is  wrong  with  the  movies 
pass  out  of  the  picture  or  forever  hold  his 
peace. 

With  "Ben-Hur,"  "The  Big  Parade"  and 
"Stella  Dallas,"  I  feel  free  to  compliment 
actor,  director  and  producer  for  the  perfect  en- 
tertainment they  have  given  us. 

Sitting  back  and  waiting  three  years  for  the 
completion  of  "Ben  Hur,"  of  course  I  expected 
to  be  thrilled.  I  was  not  only  thrilled,  how- 
ever, but  was  completely  bowled  over.  Ramon 
Novarro  was  splendid !

IT  is  strange  the  feeling  we  have  for  our  favor- 
ites of  the  silent  drama.  If  some  one  criti- 
cises one  of  them,  we  are  immediately  up  in 
arms  about  it  as  though  they  were  our  personal 
friends. 

For  all  who  criticise  Gloria — gaze  upon  her 
photograph  for  awhile  and  you  will  see  the 
least  of  the  reasons  why  people  are  so  crazy 
about  her.  Miss  Swanson's  fairy  godmother 
has  endowed  her  with  a  very  charming  per- 
sonality— to  make  me  sit  through  "Stage- 
struck"  she  must  possess  genius. 

What  I  think  of  the  person  who  wrote 
"Stagestruck"  is  nobody's  business.

Chrisman,  111. 
Moonlight  and  the  pallid  glint  of  stars, 
Aerial  shapes  clad  in  fairy  gossamer; 
Rapt  throbbing  of  a  distant  violin, 
Ye  sense  by  these  the  fabric  of  a  soul. 
That  expresses,  however  incoherently,  the 
impressions  I  have  of  Mary  Philbin.     Out  of 
all  the  rank  and  file  of  movie  personalities,  she 
seems  exquisite — a  fragile  human  vase  in  which 
all  the  emotions  stir  uneasily,  like  to  some 
faliled  elixir. 

The  rest  of  my  bouquets  are  For  Lon  Chaney. 
I  am  not  going  to  gibber  adjectives  about  him; 
but  if  the  public  can  appreciate  intelligence, 
sustained  acting  ability  and  sincerity,  they  are 
going  to  back  Chaney  to  the  limit.

Less  Suggestive  Pictures 

Clarksburg.  W.  Va. 

Why  is  it  we  cannot  have  cleaner,  less  sug- 
gestive pictures?  I  have  sat  in  motion  picture 
shows  and  blushed  myself  at  some  of  the 
scenes,  and  am  a  woman  of  forty  not  by  any 
means  a  back  number. 

When  I  read  that  Lois  Wilson.  Man-  Astor, 
Irene  Rich.  Mary  Pickford  and  Lila  Lee  are  to 
be  shown  in  a  picture,  I  am  only  too  glad  for 
my  young  folks  to  attend  the  show.  But  I  am 
sorry  to  say  I  have  seen  more  than  one  girl 
hang  her  head  in  shame  until  certain  scenes  in 
some  pictures  are  finished.  I  cannot  see  how 
any  one  can  enjoy  such  wimps  as  Mae  Murray, 
Barbara  La  Ma  it.  Tola  Negri  or  Nita  Xaldi. 
when  they  can  see  good,  clean  acting  by  the 
people  I  mentioned  above.  1  have  young  col- 
lege folks  in  my  home  and  they  agree  with  me 
in  this.

Champions  Costume  Pictures 

Milwaukee.  Wis. 

Why  is  it  that  all  the  exhibitors  and  writers 
for  newspapers  and  magazines  are  telling  us  we 
no  longer  wish  to  see  costume  pictures? 

They  are  wrong,  and  are  making  a  great 
mistake  by  influencing  the  picture  producers. 
The  public  does  like  costume  stories — when 
they  are  well  done. 

Pictures  with  modern  themes  are  too  much 
alike — thev  differ  only  in  the  circumstances  of 


the  plot,  bits  of  new  scenery,  players,  director? 
and  so  on.  Costume  plays  can  be  historically, 
dramatically  and  romantically  fine  no  matter 
with  which  period  or  country  ihey  deal.  Many 
of  our  best  pictures  have  been  costume  plays. 
and  they  have  been  accorded  more  than  aver- 
age popularity. 

To  prove  this,  readers  of  this  column  need 
only  refer  to  the  "Most  Popular  Pictures" 
contest  carried  on  by  this  magazine,  to  discover 
that  out  of  the  twenty-six  with  the  highest 
number  of  votes,  at  least  fifteen  are  costume 
pictures. 

Why  do  not  Mr.  Ingram  and  D.  W.  Griffith 
give  us  more  such  pictures  as  "The  Birth  of  a 
Xalion."  "Scaramouche"  and  "America."  rot 
to  leave  out  "Little  Old  New  York."  "The 
Iron  Horse"  and  "When  Knighthood  Was  in 
Flower?  "

Down  With  Cream  PufT  Sets 

Grand  Rapids.  Mich. 

When  buying  "going-away  gifts"  for  friends, 
I  always  get  a  nice  box  of  candy,  some  cigar- 
ettes and  Photoplay.  This  combination  never 
fails  to  bring  a  happy  smile  to  the  recipient's 
face  and  a  big  hug  for  me. 

Xow  for  the  brickbat.  Twin  bed  scenes, 
when  first  shown  on  the  screen  were  a  novelty, 
and  we  all  bent  forward  breathlessly  as  the 
hero  ploughed  through  heaps  of  chiffon  and 
lace  to  gaze  upon  the  sweet  face  of  the  lovely. 
heroine,  who  lay  nestling  in  a  ton  of  silk  pil- 
lows, supposed  to  be  sleeping — but  that  would 
be  impossible  with  all  the  lace  ruffles  and 
flowers  sticking  in  her  ear. 

But  these  bedroom  scenes  are  now  like  too 
much  whipped  cream,  leaving  one  feeling  blah. 
Me  For  more  comfortable  surroundings  than 
chiffon  and  lace.  What  we  want  are  smart, 
up-to-date  drawing  room  sets,  outdoor  scenes 
showing  the  latest  toggery,  and  so  on.  Such 
settings  can  easily  be  used  in  most  any  story. 
and  they  are  much  more  satisfying  than  the 
exotic  boudoir  atmosphere.

GO  WEST— Metro-Goldwyn. — Hardly  a  comedy 
because  hardly  a  laugh.  Yet  the  picture  is  very  inter- 
esting. "  Brown  Eyes,"  the  cow,  gives  a  line  perform- 
ance.    (.January.) 

GRAUSTARK  —  Fir^t  National.  —  Norma  Tal- 
madge  and  Eugene  O'Brien  in  a  new  version  of  the  old 
stoiy.    {November.), 

GROUNDS     FOR     DIVORCE— Paramount— A 
ch    farce    that    just    misses    being    delightfully 
frothy.     Matt  Moon-  and  Florence  Vidor  arc  in  it. 
[September.) 

HALF  WAY  GIRL,  THE— First  National.— 
Doris  Kenyon  in  a  story  of  the  sordid  side  of  the 
Orient.    (.October.) 

HAPPY  WARRIOR,  THE  —  Vitagraph.  —  The 
story  is  oversentimental,  although  it  has  its  exciting. 
moments.    Malcolm  MacGregor  ;?  good.    (.September.) 

HAUNTED  RANGE,  THE— Davis  Distributing. 
— Ken  Maynard,  a  newcomer,  joins  the  "heavy  ridin' 
brigade.''    Just  another  Western.     (November.)

the  war  on  London  society.  A  dismal  drama  is  re- 
lieved by  George  O'Brien.     (November.)

interesting  newspaper  story  with  Alice  Joyce,  Virginia 
Lee  Corbin,  Elliott  Nugent  and  Malcolm  MacGregor. 
(September.) 

HELL'S  HIGHROAD— Producers  Distributing  — 
Cecil  B.  De  Mille  again  gives  the  low-down  on  the 
lives  of  the  rich.    Leatrice  Joy  is  starred.    (November.) 

HER  SISTER  FROM  PARIS— First  National.— 
Constance  Talmadge,    Ronald   Colman   and   George 

Arthur  make  this  one  of  the  funniest  comedies  of  the 
year.     But  not  for  the  children;  oh  dear,  no!    (.Yoi>.) 

HIDDEN  LOOT— Universal.— A  straightforward 
storv  with  Jack  Hoxie  as  a  deputy  after  a  gang  of

own  ravishing  self.      (February.) 

HIS  MAJESTY  BUNKER  BEAN  —  Warner

jt — but  don't  go.  A  hash  of  every  Bowery  story  ever

this  impossible  story.    {February-) 

KEEPER  OF  THE  BEES.  THE— F.  B.  C— Not

LORRAINE  OF  THE  LIONS— Universal.— The 
story  of  a  little  girl  cast  away  on  a  desert  island.  Patsy

Never  before  have  we  been  able  to.  offer  so  much  real  worth  for 
such  little  money.  And  we  have  been  home-furnishers  for  35  years. 
Built  into  each  of  the  three  pieces  are  Beauty,  Comfort,  Endur- 
ing Strength  and  Up-to-the-Minute  style.  The  grace- 
ful Backs  and  Woven  Fronts  are  ornamented  with 
Decorative  Diamonds  of  Vermillion  and  Blue  to  cor- 
respond with  the  predominating  colors  of  the  cushions. 
This  artistic  touch,  together  with  the  Rich  Brown 
finish  of  the  Fibre  Reed,  the  Wide  Arms,  the  Remova- 
ble, Richly  Colored  Cretonne  covered  Cushions,  all 
make  this  a  suite  pleasing  to  look  at,  good  to  own. 
The  Velvety,  Smooth  Fibre  Reed  is  almost  Inde- 
structible; it  is  woven  over  Strong  Maple  Frames. 
There  are  15  resilient  Spiral  Springs  in  the  seat  con- 
struction of  the  settee.  These  springs  are  built  on 
strong  steel  supports  and  are  placed  under  the  cushion. 
Chair  and  Rocker  each  have  six  springs  similarly  lo- 
cated. This  important  feature  increases  the  dura- 
|  bility  and  comfort  of  the  three  pieces.

society.     Corinne  Griffith  is  in  it.     (September.)

moneyed  power  behind  the  throne.     (February.)

rather  juvenile  story,  but  it  brings  back  Ramon 
Novarro,  and  that's  enough  for  most  fans.   (December.) 

MY  LADY'S  LIPS— B.  P.  Schulberg  —  A  crook 
melodrama  that  is  lively  and  often  amusing.     (Oct.)

Rocque,  Dorothy  Gish  and  Ernest  Torrence.    (Sep:.) 

NOT  SO  LONG  AGO— Paramount.— Aside  from 
the  work  of  Betty  Bronson  and  Ricardo  Cortez,  this 

is  a  rather  dull  story  of  Manhattan  in  its  Age  of  In- 
nocence.    (October.) 

OLD  CLOTHES— Metro-Goldwyn.— The  last 
time  you  will  have  to  look  at  Jackie  Coogan  without

PARISIAN  LOVE  —  B.  P.  Schulberg.  —  Just 
another  one  of  those  things.  In  case  anyone  cares,  it's 
tin  romance  of  an  Apache  girl.  Not  for  children.  (Oct.)

what  did  you  expect  from  the  title?    (September.)

A  PRODUCTION  from  Robert  T.  Kane 
as  superb  as  the  cast  that  enacts  it ! 
The  desolation  of  lost  love — the  thrills  of 
Monte  Carlo — tradesmen's  bills — mother 
love  fighting  tenaciously  against  an  omi' 
nous  doom — and  the  startling  resurrection 
of  a  sublime  romance.  Belle  Bennett 
repeats  her  magnificent  mother  role  of 
"Stella  Dallas,"  with  Lois  Moran  as  the 
daughter,  in  this  adaptation  of  Sir  Phillip 
Gibbs'  memorable  story,  so  ably  directed 
by  Howard  Higgin. 


THE  wandering  girl — a  modern  social 
nomad — who  knew  neither  home  nor 
father,  with  a  philandering  matron  as  a 
makeshift  mother.  Such  was  the  character 
Arthur  Rich  man  featured  in  his  stage  sue 
cess  and  whom  Director  Balboni,  through 
Blanche  Sweet's  marvelous  interpretation, 
has  transferred  to  the  screen.  The  colorful 
Continental  background  and  a  plot  of 
steaming  action  make  this  an  always  in- 
triguing picture.  June  Mathis  acted  as 
editorial  director.

Thousands  of  girls  — 
girls  dark  and  fair,  long- 
haired and  bobbed,  graceful 
and  gauche — shy  girls,  au- 
dacious girls,  dreamy  girls, 
provocative  girls — in  end- 
less and  fascinating  variety 
they  pour  through  our  great 
mid-Western  universities. 

They  are  at  an  age  when 
life  seems  a  wonderful  ad- 
venture—  and  success,  ad- 
miration, the  approval  of 
others  more  desirable  than 
it  ever  will  seem  again. 

Latin  verbs,  yes;  but 
what  girl  of  twenty  does  not 
at  heart  believe  supremely 
in  the  importance  of  a  love- 
ly, fresh,  rose-leaf  com- 
plexion? 

Nearly  2,000  Woodbury 
users  among  thegirl  students 
of  three  great  universities  we  canvassed ! 
Woodbury's  three  times  as  popular  as 
any  other  soap  among  the  girls  replying 
to  us  from  the  universities  of  Chicago 
and  Michigan!  Five  times  as  popular 
at  the  University  of  Wisconsin! 

Here  are  some  of  the  hundreds  of 
comments  they  volunteered: 

"  Whenever  I ' religiously '  use  Woodbury's 
snap,  with  hot  and  cold  water,  I  never  fail  to 
hear,  in  less  than  a  month's  time,  such  com- 
ments as  'What  have  you  done  to  your  face? 
It  is  so  smooth  and  lovely.'  "

FRATERNITY  DANCES  —  AND  THE  THRILL  OF  POPULARITY,  OF  SUCCESS   .

alone -nearly  2,000  GIRLS 
use  this  soap  for  tneir  skin  *    - 


"We  had  been  in  India  for  j  years  and  on 
coming  to  Chicago  I  found  the  hard  water  and 
cold  climate  very  hard  on  my  skin.  I  think  I 
tried  every  known  /American  brand  of  soap,  en- 
deavoring to  find  one  that  would  cleanse  and  yet 
not  irritate.  Woodbury's  does  just  that.  I  think 
it  perfect." 

"After  using  Woodbury's  my  skin  h< 
a  fresh,  clean  feeling.   As  long  as  1  keep  : 
this  soap  I  have  no  trouble  with  blemishes — 
my  complexion  continues  to  be  clear  and  fine." 

"Before   USING   Woodbury's  my  fat 
covered  with  blemishes  and  my  skin  was  very 
oily.    I  find  these  being  removed  bv  the  use  of 
Woodbury's.    My  skin  is  becoming  soft  and 


smooth  by  the  da:  y  use  of  it." 

A  skin  specialist  worked  out 
the  formula  by  which  Wood- 
bury's is  made.  This  formula 
demands  greater  refinement  in 
the  manufacturing  process  than 
is  commercially  possible  with 
ordinary  toilet  soap.  In  merely 
handling  a  cake  of  Woodbury's 
one  notices  this  extreme  fine- 
ness. 

Around  each  cake  of  Wood- 
bury's Facial  Soap  is  wrapped 
a  booklet  containing  special 
cleansing  treatments  for  over- 
coming common  skin  defects, 
such  as  blackheads,  blemishes, 
etc.  The  same  qualities  that 
give  Woodbury's  its  beneficial 
effect  in  overcoming  these  com- 
mon skin  troubles,  make  it  ideal 
for  regular  use.  A  25c  cake 
lasts  a  month  or  six  weeks. 

Within  a  week  or  ten  days 
after  beginning  to  use  Wood- 
bury's you  will  see  an  improve- 
ment in  your  complexion.  Get  your  Woodbury's

STAGE  players  used  to  say  the  actor  who  built  a  strong  road  following  was  the  one  whose  fame 
endured.  Which  course  Evelyn  Brent  has  followed  in  movies.    Rather  than  be  lost  months  in 
making  specials,  Evelyn  has  worked  steadily  in  crook  comedies  for  F.  B.  O.    Result,  a  vast  public

AFTER  her  exquisite  Madonna  in  "Ben'Hur"  there  can  be  no  doubt  of  the  artistry  of  this 
discovery  of  Sir  James  M.  Barrie.    Totally  unknown  before  "Peter  Pan,"  Betty  Bronson,  in 
little  more  than  a  year,  has  become  one  of  the  foremost  film  favorites

"T  ET'S  GET  MARRIED"  is  the  name  of  Richard  Dix's  next  picture  and  they  do  say  that  expres-

HERE  is  a  look  that  lies  and  lies  in  both  Vilma's  and  Ronald's  eyes.    Which  is  quite  as  it  should

You  Are  So  Pretty-You 


Dorothy    Manners    decided    that    as    an 
actress  she  was  a  good  scenarist 


By  Dorothy  Spensley 


HER   profile   is   like   Norma   Tal- 
madge's. 
Daintily  patrician,  with  the  faint 
touch   of    arrogance    that   distin- 
guishes beauty  of  that  type. 

Ruby,  the  cigarette  girl  at  the  Montmartre, 
confided  to  me  that  when  the  Norma-like  girl 
dances  .  .  .  gracefully  beneath  the  festooned 
canopy  .  .  .  she  is  showered  with  questions 
to  her  identity. 

No,  she  is  not  an  actress,  nor  does  she  aspire  to  be  a  great 
film  mummer.  She  writes  for  her  daily  bread!  Day  after  day 
and  week  after  week  she  scribbles  clever  stories  on  film  life. 
Month  alter  month  she  grows  nearer  her  goal  of  scenario 
writing. 

To  the  uninitiated  this  waste  of  beauty  and  distinction 
sounds  appalling.     Hut  we  of  Hollywood  applaud  her  wisdom. 

Dorothy  Manners,  the  beauty-sacrificing  scribe,  is  but  one  of 
many  girls  who  pilgrimaged  to  Hollywood  with  glowing  dreams 
of  ruling  the  motion  picture  world.  It  looked  so  simple — so 
easy  this  thing  of  film  success— from  her  home  town,  where 
genial-voiced  friends  said  "a  girl  as  pretty  as  you  should  be  in 
pictures." 

And  then  there  are  the  stories  that  emanate  from  Hollywood. 
Stories  of  the  girl  who  was  picked  from  the  mob  by  a  celebrated 
director  and  given  the  lead  in  his  picture.  Instant  success  was 
hers.  And  the  girl  who  was  walking  along  the  Boulevard  of 
blighted  bliss,  designated  as  Hollywood  boulevard  on  the  un- 
romantic   bos  Angeles  street  guide.      A  big  producer  glimpsed 

her  and  immediately  skyrocketed  her  to  sublimest  stardom. 
\]\d  the  girl  who  met  the  star  at  a  dance  .  .  .  and  the  star 
was  looking  for  a  leading  lady. 

But  do  you  ever  hear  of  the  girls  who  come  to  Hollywood  and 

do  not  succeed  in  becoming  actresses? 

AS' 


The  girls  who  failed — here's  the  other 
side  of  Hollywood's  story — that  of 
the  girls  who  missed  out  on  the 
incandescents  but  who  came  through 
to   success   in   other   film   channels 


Xo!    Of  course  not! 

Failure  has  no  place  in  the  bright  movie  orbit. 
But  how  about  the  girls  who  went  through  the  depriva- 
tions often  necessary  to  success  and  instead  of  finding  that 
glowing  reward  at  the  end  of  the  road,  found  naught  but 
ashes?  We  can't  all  achieve  what  the  world  calls  success, 
you  know  .  .  .  some  must  lose  in  the  deal  so  that  sharp 
contrast  can  be  etched. 

What  becomes  of  the  girls  who  do  not  arrive  at  stardom 
...  or  who  do  not  even  reach  a  medi- 
ocre success? 

What  do  they  do? 
Humorists  would  have  it  that 
they  pick  up  the  tray  and  serve  the 
hungry  throng:  satirists  would 
say  the>'  became  beauty  op- 
erators and  scorched  many  a 
cinema  bob  for  sheer  jeal- 
ousy; and  your  modernist 
would  paint  an  untimely 
death  by  poison.

it  bobbed.  Instead  she 
took  to  cutting  cloth  and 
now  she's  a  leading

Should  Go  in  Pictures 


Perhaps  there  is  the  essence  of  realism 
in  each  supposition.  Bui  that  does  ool 
dispose  of  a  certain  elemenl  of  girlhood 
endowed  with  brains  as  well  as  beauty — 
who  sees  the  enormous  possibilities  of 
the  screen  as  an  outlet  for  creative  and 
imaginative  ability.  Every  studio  has 
at  least  three  or  tour  girls  in  its  employ 
who  have  been  disappointed  in  their 
fame-seeking  journey  but  who  have 
turned  to  other  lines  of  film  endeavor. 

And   never  onee  have  1   heard   a  girl 

who  lias  abandoned  an  acting  career  for 
a  role  not  so  glamorous  speak  enviously 
of  the  life  oi  a  star. 

IN  casting  aside   film   aspirations  to 
reach  a  less  glorified  but  often  as  im- 
portant goal,  slu'  usually  cultivates  a 
philosophy — and  tolerance — that  serves 
her  in  good  stead  all  her  life.     Who  says 
the  female  is  of  the  race  of  felines? 
The  thought  immediately  comes 
to  mind,  I  rather  imagine,  that 
if  a  girl  has  beauty  and  brains, 
why  is  acting  success  so  hard  to 
attain.     It  seems  that  beauty 
and    brains    should   overcome 
even-thing.      It    should,    but 
often  old  Mother  Nature  plays 
US  a  mean  little  trick.   In  some 
wizardly  way  she  neatly  builds 
our  nose  a  fraction  of  an  inch 
too  long,  or  skimps  on  the  color 
pigment  in  our  eyes.     She  is 
over-generous  in  our  stature  or

was   over,  Marie   found   she   was  Henry 

King's  script   girl 


penurious  in  her  gift  of  handsome  teeth. 
Nevertheless,  by  certain  and  varied  beauty 
standards  we  are  considered  pretty. 

But  the  all-revealing  eye  of  the  camera  is 
not  so  kind  as  our  friends — our  noses,  our  eyes, 
our  heights  and  our  teeth  are  shown  quite 
frankly  shorn  of  the  kindly  veils  of  vanity  and 
sentiment.  And  sometimes  it  is  a  terrible 
blow  to  ego! 

And  then  again  Mother  Nature,  in  benefi- 
cent mood,  will  add  a  pinch  of  uncommon 
common  sense  to  a  girl  of  beauty  and  brains 
with  a  result  that  I  will  now  recount. 

Dorothy  Manners  is  a  Fort  Worth,  Texas, 
girl.  Now,  to  the  film  world.  Texas  as  a  state 
is  classed  with  Ohio  and  its  president-be- 
getting fame.  If  you  come  from  Texas  you 
are  bound  to  become  a  star,  it  seems.  Look  at 
Bebe  Daniels,  Corinne  Griffith  and  Florence 
Yidor.  So  Dorothy — with  her  patrician  pro- 
file— came  to  Hollywood  and  for  three  years 
went  the  rounds  of  the  motion  picture  extra. 

IT'S  no  macadamized  road — that.  Nor  is  it 
carpeted  with  velvet.  And  the  distance  be- 
tween the  Universal  Studio  and  Lasky's  is 
great — and  rough.  But  Dorothy  trudged  it 
back  and  forth  for  several  years,  meeting  with 
a  certain  amount  of  fortune.  She  had  a  part 
with  Shirley  Mason  at  Fox.  A  lead  with 
"Buck"  Jones.  It  looked  as  if  Dorothy  had 
put  it  over  when  this  was  augmented  by  a 
leading  role  opposite  Herbert  Rawlinson. 

Then  Dorothy  got  to  thinking.  Possibly  if 
Dorothy  had  not  been  endowed  with  uncom- 
mon common  sense  she  might  still  be  an 
actress  of  a  sort.  Dorothy  decided  that  as  an 
actress  she  was  a  dismal  failure.  She  just 
didn't  "register."  And  the  skill  with  which 
an  actor  "registers"  is  akin  to  the  way  a  poet 
weaves  his  lilting  lays,  or  a  painter  blends  his 
colors,  or  a  composer  creates  his  melody. 
It  is  the  art.  [  coxtixuxd  on  page  136  ]

That  thrilling  moment  when  the  horses  of  Ben-Hur  (Novarro)  gain  against  those  of  Messala  (Bushman). 

No  doubles  were  used 

A  Modern  Miracle  Film 


THROUGH  great  tribulation  ye  enter  the 
»i.    .    .    . 
And  so  it  is  with  the  picture  through 
which  He  walks.    "Ben-Hur"  enters 
the  kingdom  of  art  through  titanic  struggle,  one  of  the  greatest 
of  all  pictures  because  of  its  great  appeal  to  all  mankind. 

There  was  real  drama  and  sacrifice 
in  the  making  of  it,  and,  what  is  more, 
fine  faith  and  reverence,  without 
which  the  picture  would  have  failed, 
for  this  is  the  Tale  of  the  Christ. 

The  story  of  this  production  is  the 
story  of  men  who  staked  their  for- 
tunes, of  men  who  risked  their  ca- 
reers, their  very  lives,  to  realize  the 
perfect  picturization  of  General  Lew 
Wallace's  powerful  story.  Their  re- 
ward on  the  opening  night  was  a 
mighty  roll  of  cheers  that  went  up 
spontaneously  from  people  who  saw 
in  it  an  inspired  work  of  consecra- 
tion, one  that  reaches  beyond  all  race 
and  creed  into  the  hearts  of  men. 

There  were  no  doubles  in  "Ben- 
Hur." 

Remember  that  when  you  see  the 
perilous  galley  scenes  and  the  terrify- 
ing chariot  race.  Novarro  drove  the 
chariot  as  Ben-Hur  drove  his,  and 
Francis  X.  Bushman  drove  the  four 
black  steeds  as  Messala  drove  them. 
Fred  Niblo,  the  day  after  the  produc- 
tion was  shown  in  Xew  York,  be- 
moaned the  fact  that  the  presence  of 
a  double  in  a  difficult  scene  was  so 
generally  accepted. 


By  Ruth  Waterbury 


The    perfect    reproduction    of    a    galley, 
showing  the  glory  that  once  was  Rome 


"It  is  absolutely  true  that  Novarro  and 

Bushman  drove  those  teams,"  Niblo  said. 

"I  couldn't  engage  a  double  who  would  even 

rehearse  such  a  scene,  and  once  they  were  in 

it,  neither  Novarro  or  Bushman  would  leave,  great  as  was  the 

risk  involved.     Vet,  despite  the  fact  that  every  close-up  and 

long  shot  shows  them  both  plainly, 

the  very  officials  of  this  company  pat 

me  on  the  back  and  grin  when  I  say 

there  wasn't    a   double   anywhere." 

FOR  the  galley  scenes,  as  terrible  as 
Dante's  Inferno,  the  men  went 
down  with  the  boats  in  the  oily  waters 
of  Leghorn  Bay ,  where  the  scenes  were 
filmed.  In  the  raft  scene  Frank  Cur- 
rier, that  fine  old  actor,  nearly  died. 
He  and  Novarro  were  exposed  to  the 
terrible  chill  of  the  water  and  the 
winds  for  more  than  four  hours. 
Novarro  kept  Currier  from  pneu- 
monia only  by  slapping  him  con- 
stantly and  pouring  into  him  gener- 
ous amounts  of  the  brandy  that  was 
sent  to  them  from  time  to  time  by 
rowboat. 

For  the  chariot  race  the  Circus 
Maximus  of  the  Caesars  was  repro- 
duced both  in  California  and  in 
Italy.  The  one  in  Italy  was  never 
used,  because  of  the  obstacles  that 
beset  the  production  over  there. 
Niblo  said  the  labor  conditions  in 
Italy  are  almost  impossible  for  an 
American  to  imagine.  The  Fascist 
and  the  anti-Fascist  elements  are  al- 

31 


Here's  how  they  did  it.     Auto-mounted,  this  camera  close-uped  Bush- 
man through  the  entire  course.  Forty-one  other  cameras  simultaneously 

shoot  the  scene 


Fred    Niblo,    director,    and    Marcus 

Loew,  M-G-M  president,  who  did  the 

financing 


ways  warring.  He  described  it  as  being  as  though  a  crowd  of 
Republicans  and  a  crowd  of  Democrats  were  put  to  work  on  one 
job  here,  and  suddenly,  a  dozen  times  a  day,  without  warning, 
the  Democrats  were  to  start  hurling  hammers,  rivets,  boards,  or 
any  other  weapon  at  the  other  faction. 

Another  thing  they  found  it  impossible  to  discover  was  a  good 
Italian  electrician.  Niblo  combed  the  cities,  but  all  of  them 
were  too  slow.  He  finally  got  Ins  electricians  from  Vienna,  the 
only  Continental  city,  so  he  says,  where  workmen  have  pep. 

WHEN  it  came  time  for  them  to  get  horses,  Niblo  located  four 
of  the  most  beautiful  white  steeds  he  had  ever  seen.  He  tried 
to  buy  them  but  the  trader  stated  he  had  another  patron  who  de- 
sired them,  and  he  must  consider  the  price.  Every  bid  that  Niblo 
made  for  them  was  immediately  covered  by  the  unknown  party. 
The  American  director  was  not  disturbed,  however.  He  felt 
sure  no  Italian  could  hold  out  against  movie  money.  But  the 
price  kept  rising.  Then  he  inquired  who  this  opulent  Italian 
could  be.  The  unknown  was  the  agent  of  the  Pope.  The 
Pope  got  the  horses. 

Before  the  Italian  Circus  was  finished  the  fall  had  come  on 
and  the  days  shortened  so  that  only  a  few  hours  of  sunlight 
remained.  It  was  a  matter  of 
abandoning  the  whole  thing  and 
returning  to  California  or  of  wait- 
ing six  months  for  the  spring  to 
come  round  once  more.  Hence 
the  Italian  circus  was  never  used. 
The  Circus  you  see  on  the  screen 
required  four  months  to  build. 
Forty-eight  horses  appear  in  the 
race  of  the  twelve  chariots,  with  a 
hundred  and  fifty  horses  utilized 
in  all.  Every  important  person- 
age in  Hollywood  was  out  the 
morning  the  final  scenes  were 
shot.  Niblo  and  his  assistants 
issued  orders  through  a  loud 
speaker  from  a  tower,  while  the 
batteries  of  cameras  were  manip- 
ulated by  the  wig-wagging  system 
of  army  and  navy  signal  flags,  and 
a  specially  installed  telephone  sys- 
tem conveyed  verbal  instructions 
to  various  parts  of  the  vast  arena. 
Forty-two  cameras  weie  trained 
on  the  race — the  greatest  number 
ever  employed  on  a  scene.    They 

were  utilized  in  every  conceivable 
position.  Some  were  concealed 
behind  the  soldiers  along  the 
course,  shooting  through  aper- 
tures in  the  men's  shields.     Some 


Death  from  exposure  threatened  Novarro  and 
Frank  Currier  playing  this  scene,  as  survivors 
of  a  wreck,  in  the  icy  waters  of  Leghorn  Bay 


w?re  inside  the  huge  statues  that  towered  to  a  height  of  thirtv- 
five  feet. 

Cameras  were  buried  in  the  ground  and  cameras  swung 
from  cables  overhead. 

The  cameras  buried  in  the  ground  created  the  effect  of  horses 
and  chariots  driving  out  from  the  screen  and  over  the  heads  of 
the  audience. 

The  race  as  it  took  place  among  the  cameras  was  as  thrilling 
in  actuality  as  you  see  it  on  the  screen.  Real  accidents  occurred. 
The  accident  you  see  on  the  screen,  where  a  chariot  is  wrecked 
and  five  oncoming  chariots  with  their  twenty  horses  pile  on  top 
of  it,  was  an  act  of  circumstance,  such  as  often  happens  in  a 
real  race.  Fortunately  the  men  escaped,  but  unfortunately 
several  horses  were  injured. 

Novarro  had  luckily  driven  wide  and  so  escaped  the  wreck. 
But  he  invited  genuine  hazard  for  himself  and  Bushman,  when 
he  drove  his  four  horses  against  those  of  the  latter  in  order  to 
wrench  off  the  Roman's  chariot  wheel,  as  Bcn-Hur  did  in  the 
story.  There  could  be  no  faking  about  this.  It  had  to  be  done 
at  high  speed,  directly  before  the  cameras.  It  is  a  testimonial  to 
the  skill  of  Novarro  and  Bushman  as  charioteers,  gained 
through  months  of  training  in  Italy,  that  they  accomplished  the 

feat  without  injury  to  themselves 
or  to  the  horses,  save  for  a  slight 
grazing  of  one  steed. 


THE  niceties  of  mechanical  skill 
that  went  into  the filmingof  this 

scene  can  scarcely  be  described. 
The  oncoming  chariots  were  pho- 
tographed from  a  motor  truck 
travelling  ahead  of  them.  Two 
cameras  caught  the  foreground 
shots  while  a  third  camera  simul- 
taneously took  telescopic  close- 
ups  of  the  drivers,  registering 
every  passing  expression  oi  the 
faces.  Again  the  trucks  sped  along- 
side the  chariot  at  the  same  speed 
as  the  horses  to  get  the  side  shots. 
An  accident  was  narrowly 
averted  when  the  black  horses  of 
Bushman's  chariot  crashed  into 
the  side  of  the  car  bearing  the 
cameras.  And  again,  tragedy 
loomed  over  the  arena  when  the 
black  horses  sent  to  drag  out  the 
wrecked  chariot  suddenly  ran 
wild,  crashing  for  the  camera  plat- 
form, beneath  which  Breese  Eas- 
ton  was  stationed  directing  the 
scene.     Easton  saved  himself  by

In    "Whispering 

Smith"  Lilyan  had 

to  weep,  for  the  first 

time  in  her  career.    And, 

like   most   beginners,    she 

couldn't  stop 


LILYAX  TASHMAN  is  one  of  those  decisive  persons  who 
get  what  they  go  after. 
If  she  wanted  the  moon,  it  would  be  served  her  on  a 
silver  salver  in  a  fortnight — or  sooner. 
She  must  be  remotely  related  to  Salome,  the  girl  who  desired 
the  cranium  of  John  the  Baptist.    And  got  it  for  the  dancing. 
But  whether  Salome  paid  the  piper  for  his  accompaniment  you 
must  decide  for  yourself. 

Lilyan  paid  the  piper.  Doubly  paid  him  in  good,  hard  work. 
She  danced  and  danced  and  danced — and  sang.  And  then, 
figuratively,  came  the  salvered  head.  Xot  of  John  the  Baptist, 
of  course — the  similitude  is  not  sacrilegiously  intended.  The 
head  is  allegorical  and  symbolizes  fame  and  fortune. 

To  begin  with,  I  regret  to  inform  you  that  Lilyan  was  born  in 
Brooklyn,  New  York.  And  Lilyan's  own  smartly  hatted  head 
drooped  over  her  sliced  tomato  and  cottage  cheese  salad  as  she 
confessed  it.  Brooklyn  is  a  highly  respectable  town,  under- 
stand, with  its  full  quota  of  Babbitts  and  others,  but  Lilyan  is 
the  kind  of  girl  of  whom  you  expect  the  exotic. 


She  should  have  been  born  in  India  or  Bangkok — reared  by 
a  wrinkled  and  toothless  amah — placed  in  a  French  convent 
when  very  young — and  escaped  when  a  beautiful  girl  to  make 
her  stage  debut  in  Budapest.  A  la  Marie  Corelli  or  Madame 
Glyn.  But  what  matters  a  little  thing  like  background?  It  is 
our  present  self  that  counts. 

Born  in  Brooklyn,  educated  there,  it  was  a  tea  that  changed 
Lilyan's  life.  Teas  often  change  the  destinies  of  mortals  and 
nations.  Look  what  the  fragrant  leaf  did  for  England — and 
five  o'clock!    And  assuredly  it  placed  Ceylon  on  the  map. 

Lilyan  was  studying  to  be  a  teacher.  She  was  to  be  a  peda- 
gogue. Imagine!  Then  one  day  she  and  her  school  books 
attended  a  tea  at  which  Florenz  Ziegfeld  was  a  guest.  Flo 
Ziegfeld  needs  no  introduction.  What  Vespucci  was  to  the 
Americas,  Ziegfeld  is  to  the  varieties. 

"Who  is  the  tawny-haired  beauty?"  he  queried  of  the 
hostess. 

And  so  Lilyan  went  into  the  Follies.

The  Final  Fade-outs 


THIS  is  a  story  of  death  coming  suddenly  in  the  prime  of 
life  to  people  who  had  climbed  to  fame. 
These  are  the  strange  deaths  of  Hollywood,  tragic, 
mysterious  deaths,  too  man}-  of  them  in  too  short  a  time. 
Even  Death  is  not  simple  in  the  movie  colonies.    With  other 
people  in  other  lines  of  endeavor,  their 
work  lives  after  them.    When  an  actor 
dies,  all  that  he  was,  all  that  he  might 
have  been,  dies  with  him.    Others  may 
come  and  take  his  place,  but  never  can 
any  other  being  carry  on  his  art,  create 
beauty  or  laughter  just  as  he  would  have 
created  it.     In  film  circles  death  is  the 
absolute   end,   killing  fortunes,  ambi- 
tions and  all  fair  things.    In  other  so- 
cieties it  can  be  release,  peace  as  the 
reward  for  the  journey,  a  mantle  of 
mysterious   majesty    for    the   lowliest 
man.    In  the  movie  colonies  it  is  never 
any  of  these  things. 

These  are  the  strange  deaths  of  the 
studios,  more  than  twenty  of  them, 
girls   and   boys   together,   youth   and 

beauty,  pomp  and  poverty.

MARY  THURMAN  is  dead.  Pretty 
Mary  Thurman,  who  had  thelove- 
liest  figure  that  ever  graced  a  Sennctt 
bathing  suit.  She  had  been  a  university 
graduate,  a  school  teacher,  a  belle  of 
filmland,  an  ambitious  red-headed 
young  actress.  She  died  alone  except 
for  Juanita  Hansen  and  her  mother. 
Juanita  had  stuck  through  everything, 

when  Mary  was  being  moved  from  one  New  York  hospital  to 
another,  when  Mary's  mother  couldn't  be  located,  things  like 
thai.  Mary  had  been  sick  a  long  while.  The  immediate  cause 
of  death  was  pneumonia,  but  she  had  been  weakened  by  malaria 
acquired  in  the  swamps  of  Florida  while  working  on  her  last 
picture.  They  buried  her  from  the  Mormon  church  in  her  home 
town  in  Utah. 

That   was  a   few   days   before   Christmas.      For  J.    Gordon 
Edwards  Christmas  Day  was  the  end.     He  was  about  to  check 


Beautiful  Mary  Thurman  has  gone 

back  to  rest  in  the  shadow  of  the 

Mormon    church    where    she    was 

christened  Mary  Jones 


out  from  the  Plaza  hotel.  Manhattan,  to  start  for  Hollywood 
and  make  another  slab  at  re-entering  pictures.  Edwards  had 
been  a  big  director.  The  "Queen  of  Sheba,"  "Nero"  and  ""The 
Shepherd  King"  were  his.  Yet  the  last  time  he  visited  Holly- 
wood hunting  for  work  he  couldn't  get  a  chance.  He  was  about 
to  start  out  again  on  Christmas  Day. 
He  was  58  and  jobless.  A  broken 
heart.    They  called  it  pneumonia. 

A  LITTLE  before  those  two,  on 
Armistice  day.  Mrs.  Sidney  Drew 
went  to  join  her  husband.  She  was  only 
35,  and  no  matter  what  the  doctors 
called  it.  her  friends  all  knew  it  was  a 
broken  heart.  To  the  burden  of  her 
sorrow  over  Sidney  Drew  she  had  to  add 
failure  also.  After  Sidney  died  in  1919, 
she  tried  to  go  on  alone.  She  did  a 
couple  of  comedies.  They  were  years 
in  advance  of  their  audiences.  She 
and  Sidney  had  worked  for  Yitagraph, 
Metro  and  others.  After  her  two  com- 
edies she  couldn't  get  a  look-in. 

Just  about  that  time  Lovey  Marsh, 
Mae's  sister,  slipped  away.  She  was 
thirty  three  and  she.  too.  hadn't  suc- 
ceeded. Hers  was  a  nervous  break- 
down complicated  by  pneumonia.  She 
had  tried  and  tried  to  get  on.  but  she 
never  did.  Once  she  co-starred  with 
Martha  Mansfield,  who  was  her  great-

the  front  rank  she  ever  got. 

Martha's  death  hurt  her  terribly. 
You  remember  Martha's  story.  It  was  Thanksgiving  day  and 
she  was  working  on  "The  Warrens  of  Virginia"  somewhere 
down  in  Texas.  She  was  a  soft  and  fluffy  darling.  She  had 
been  a  Follies  girl,  a  star  for  Selznick  and  the  world  lay  before 
her.  She  was  engaged,  though  not  many  people  knew  it.  to 
one  of  the  biggest  producers. 

.Martha  was  dressed  that  day  in  a  billowing  costume  of  crin- 
oline. Some  actor  tossed  away  a  match.  Wilfred  Lytell,  her 
leading  man,  saved  her  lovely  face  by  throwing  his  coat  over

was  the  toast  of  the  street  called  Broadway.

around  her  as  she  sailed  with  Jack  for 
their  honeymoon  in  Paris.  Then  came 
a  Sunday  morning  in  September.

Then  he  was  found  dead  one  morning.  Every-

Finder    was    the    first    film    comedian.      A 

dapper  little   Frenchman   he  started  making 

comedies  in  his  native  country  about   the  time  the  first   train 

wreck  was  being  photographed  over  here.     Fast   .November  he 

and  his  wile  died  in  a  suicide  pact  in  Paris.     She  was  twentv

told  by  the  concierge  they   had   left

escaped     life     through     injections     of 

veronal  and  morphine.

was  because  he  was  a  fat  man,  and  a 
funny  one.  Anyway,  Fovey  never 
seemed  to  love  him.  One  night  he 
came  into  the  Astor  Hotel,  where  he 
lived,  and  sat  with  friends  in  the  lobby

Following  Mac  Marsh  and  Lillian  and  Dorothy  Gish  in  Griffith's  screen  college,  Carol  Dempster  has  suffered  for 
years  from  the  refined  torture  of  comparison  and  prejudice.    But  with  "That  Roylc  Girl,"  Carol  takes  her  place 

at  the  top  of  the  class 


,;<; 


A  Victim  of  Prejudice 


Carol  Dempster  fought 
gamely  for  three 
and  has  licked  it 
a  standstill 

By  Dorothy  Herzog 


PREJUDICE,  whether  it 
be  just  or  unjust,  is  the 
lurking  "  bogey  ' '  that 
creeps  in  t  be  wake  of 
screen  players. 

Few  escape  prejudice  in  one 
shape  or  another. 

How  often  bave  you  heard: 
"I  don't  like  Tom  .Mix.  lie's 
too  cocksure  of  himself.  And 
lkn  Turpin?  Ye  gods,  he 
makes  me  sick.  Thinks  he's 
funny,  the  poor  thing." 

Prejudice  usually  kills  out- 
right or  jeers  its  victims  into 
oblivion.  The  worst  kind  of 
screen  prejudice,  from  what  we 
have  discovered,  is  that  which 
aci ...  es  one  player  of  trying  to 
emulate  another.  In  pictures, 
the  first  shall  be  the  last  and 
that's  all  there  is  to  it,  Santa 
Claus  or  no  Santa  C'laus. 

WE  question  if  any  screen 
personality  has  been 
more  victimized  by  this 
refined  method  of  torture 
than  Carol  Dempster, 
D.  W.  Griffith's  leading 
lady. 

When  "Isn't  Life  Won- 
derful?'' appeared,  the 
prejudiced,  who  num- 
bered in  the  thousands 
plus,  dismissed  Miss 
Dempster's  dramatic 
performance  wit  ha  shrug, 
a  raise  of  the  brow,  and: 

"Fair,  my  dear,  fair, 
but  remember  Mae 
Marsh  in  'The  Birth  of  a 
Nation'  and  Lillian  Gish 
in  'Way  Down  East'? 
She  can't  touch  them 
with  a  hundred  vard 
pole." 

When  "Sally  of  the 
Sawdust"rollickedacross 
the  silver  sheet,  these 
same  voices  united  to 
ignore  Carol's  drolleries 
and  dramatics  with: 

"  You  ain't  seen  noth- 
ing.    She's  small  pota- 
toes.    Remember  Dorothy  Gish  in  'Orphans  of  the  Storm'? 
The  Dempster  girl  may  be  um-m-m,  but  .  .  ." 

Never  would  this  versatile  \oung  exponent  of  emotions  get 
beyond  that  insinuating  "but."  These  innuendoes  cut  her  to 
the  quick,  yet  she  went  quietly  about  her  business,  appearing 
in  public  rarely,  devoting  her  energy  and  her  thoughts  to  her 


In   "That  Royle  Girl"   she  proved 
herself  a  great  artist 


Griffith  gave  Carol   her  first  chance  as 
Gypsy  Fair  in  "Dream  Street" 


work.  The  bitter  propaganda  spread  about  her- 
self made  her  afraid  of  people.  When  she  did  meet 
strangers,  she  shrank  into  herself  and  managed 
only  to  murmur  obvious  commonplaces. 

"Nothing  here,"  circulated  another  story,  the 
narrator  pointing  significantly  to  his  head.  "Can't 
imagine  how  she  gets  away  with  it." 

And  then  "That  Royle  Girl"  unfolded  before 
our  eyes  like  a  rare,  colorful  orchid  in  a  storm- 
swept  garden,  and  Miss  Dempster's  startling  char- 
acterization of  Daisy  Royle,  with  one  fell  swoop  and 
twelve  reels,  hurtled  prejudice  of  three  years' 
growth. 

She  proved  without  gainsaying  she  was  no  Mat- 
Marsh,  Lillian  or  Dorothy  Gish  prototype.  She 
was  Carol  Dempster,  individualistic,  vivid,  gifted. 
She  demonstrated  by  her  convincing  delineation  of 
her  many-sided  role  that  she  had  gray  matter  aplenty  in  her 
cerebellum  and  that  it  takes  more  than  one  idea  to  give  her  a 
headache.  To  filch  an  Abraham  Lincoln  subtitle  from  the 
picture  that  won  her  friends  where  before  there  had  been 
antagonists:  "Right  is  might." 

No  one  was  more  astounded  by         [  continued  ox  page  127  ]

Why  Do  They  Change 


WI I  E  X  I  a  m 
the  authoress 
I  become  very 

haughty  and 
protest:  "Let  anyone  dare 
change  my  stories!" 

And  when  I  am  the 
scenarist  I  plead  very 
humbly,  "Dear  authors 
and  public,  do  not  chal- 
lenge the  changes  in  the 
stories.  "  Because  here 
are  the  reasons  why: 

In  the  first  place,  the 
most  delightful  narrative 
cannot  be  translated  to 
the  screen  because  so  often 
its  charm  lies  in  its  anal- 
yses, its  philosophy,  its 
pattern  of  beautiful  word- 
pictures. 

Unfortunately  many 
fine  books  are  bought 
which  have  little  material 
in  them  for  the  screen. 

Because  the  language  of 
the  screen  is  pantomime, 
experiences  and  reactions 
must  be  expressed  in  ges- 
tures and  physical  situa- 
tion. It  is  absolutely  nec- 
essary to  have  action  in 
our  screen  stories. 

Titles  on  the  screen  are 
used  when  it  becomes  im- 
possible to  explain  clearly 
our  scenes  with  panto- 
mime; they  are  the  picture 
presentation  of  ideas. 

SOME  day,  when  we 
have  perfected  a  lan- 
guage for  moving  pictures, 
we  will  buy  few  books  and 
plays,  but  will  write 
directly  for  the  screen. 

These  few  books  and 
plays  will  be  basically 
sound  for  the  needs  of  our 
own  medium. 

They  will  not  be  chosen 
at  random,  bought  because 
they  have  proven  success- 
ful narratives,  but  because 
the  story-teller  has  ex- 
pressed his  idea  in  action 
sufficiently  physical  to 
make  it  transferable  as  it 
stands  to  the  screen. 

Ibanez  writes  colorful 
plot  movement.  "The 
Four  Horsemen"  on  the 
screen  is  as  the  author 
wrote  it.  It  is  a  splendid 
picture. 

"The    Merry    Widow" 
on  the  screen  is   nothing   in   plot   or  treatment   like  the  old 
"  Merry  Widow"  of  the  stage.    It  is  also  a  splendid  picture. 

I  ha  ve  tra  nslated  several  hundred  books  and  plays  to  the  screen. 
Authors  have  fainted  when  they  have  seen  their  "brain- 
children" in  fantastic  new  garb,  authors  have  threatened,  and 
authors  have  written  appreciative  letters,  many  endorsing  and 
applauding   the  free  translation  of   their  books. 

The  latter  authors  are  in  closer  touch  with  the  making  of

By  Frances  Marion 


Frances  Marion  is  the  most  famous  and 
successful  of  all  scenarists,  men  or  women, 
and  her  annual  income  from  her  work 
stands  at  a  most  enviable  figure.  It  ex- 
ceeds $250,000.  Producers  pay  her  $50,000 
for  a  single  script.  She  prepared  for  the 
screen  two  of  the  five  winners  of  the  Photo- 
play Magazine  Medal  of  Honor  pictures, 
"Humoresque"  (1920)  and  "Abraham 
Lincoln"  (1924). 


pictures,  and  they  have 
begun  to  understand  why 
these  revisions  are  neces- 
sary. 

For  an  example,  let  me 
explain  why  I  changed 
"The  Dark  Angel."  It 
was  a  very  successful  play, 
a  very  successful  picture; 
yet  the  plots  of  the  play 
and  picture  are  divorced. 

A  play  reaches  several 
thousand,  a  picture  is 
shown  to  millions.  So  it  is 
that  a  successful  picture 
must  appeal  to  every  type 
of  mind,  and  to  even-  age. 

In  "The  Dark  Angel," 
a  difficult  problem  lay  be- 
fore us.  The  play  of  "The 
Dark  Angel"  told  the 
story  of  an  English  girl 
who  was  so  infatuated 
with  an  officer  that  she 
gave  herself  to  him  on  the 
eve  of  his  departure  for 
Flanders.  He  was  report- 
ed killed. 

FIVE  years  passed.  She 
loved  another.  It  was 
no  infatuation,  but  a  deep- 
rooted  and  tender  love. 
To  her  the  past  stood  be- 
tween them.  Her  secret 
was  locked  in  her  heart: 
she  wanted  to  marry  the 
man  she  loved,  but  she 
had  given  herself  to  an- 
other. 

Then  she  found  that  the 
officer  wasn't  killed,  but 
blinded,  and  that  he  had 
hidden  himself  away  from 
the  world  under  an  as- 
sumed name. 

She  went  to  him.  He 
successfully  pretended 
that  he  could  see  because 
he  feared  she  would,  out  of 
pity,  sacrifice  her  life  to 
him.  She  told  him  that 
she  loved  another,  that  she 
would  be  happy  with  the 
man  of  her  choice  if  he 
would  release  her  from  the 
bond  of  their  old  promise. 
He  feigned  indifference 
to  her  and  wished  her  good 
fortune.  When  she  did 
discover  that  he  was  blind, 
she  told  him  she  would 
give  up  her  life  and  remain 
with  him,  to  watch  over 
him  and  comfort  him  as 
long  as  he  lived. 
He   protested    gloriously   against    this. 

He  convinced  her  that  he  no  longer  cared,  and  sent  her  away 
with  the  man  that  she  loved,  while  he  faced  a  life  of  loneliness 
and  unfathomable  longing. 

Now  for  the  reason  of  the  changes:  In  the  first  place  we  must 
convince  our  audiences  how  much  a  girl  really  loves  a  man  in 
order  to  push  aside  the  barriers  of  conventional  marriage.  It 
takes  at  least  two  reels  to  run  through  these  scenes.     And,  as 


the  Stories  on  the  Screen?

Have  you  gone  to  a  theater  to  see  your  favor- 
ite novel  or  play  screened,  found  nothing  of  it 
remaining,  not  even  the  title,  remembered  the 
price  the  producer  paid  for  the  original  story 
and  come  away  murmuring,  "Why  do  they  do 
it?" 

If  you  have  had  this  experience,  this  article  of 
Miss  Marion's  is  for  you.  Frankly  she  tells  how 
stories  must  be  changed  to  satisfy  the  producer, 
star  and  you,  the  great  movie  public.  She  asks, 
also,  your  pity  on  the  scenario  writers,  who

Especially  not  with  such  a  hero  as 
Ronald  Colman  playing  the  role  of  the 
officer!  We  are  much  more  interested  in 
following  him — through  battle;  we  see 
him  wounded,  we  see  his  heart-struggle 
not  to  return  to  the  girl  he  loves  and  be  a 
burden  to  her.  Truly  a  great  and  woi  thy 
love. 

The  other  man  comes  into  her  life. 
He  is  kind,  he  loves  her.  He  pleads 
with  her  not  to  deny  herself  a  woman's 
birthright:  a  husband  to  protect  her, 
children  to  fill  her  empty  life  with  work 
and  happiness. 

She  cannot  live  forever  with  the  ghost 
of  a  remote  sorrow.  Reluctantly  she 
consents  to  marry  him.  But  all  the 
time  Fate  is  weaving  the  threads  of  the 
lovers  into  one  pattern.  They  find  each 
other  again;  she  is  sent  to  him  by 
the  man  who  would  make  her  his 
wife. 

As  it  was  in  the  play,  he  hides  his 
blindness.  It  is  a  poignant,  dra- 
matic scene  where  he  sends  her 
away,  then  releases  himself  to 
his  grief.  She  returns,  guided 
instinctively  back  to  him,  be- 
cause love  is  the  vital  force  of 
life  and  it  cannot  be  denied. 

When  we  leave  them  in  each 
other's  arms  we  feel  that  the  veil 
of  his  sorrow  is  lifted  and  that 
through  her  he  will  see  with  his 
blind  eves  all  the  divine  beauties 
of  life.

Hoot  Gibson,  being  just  plain  regular,  is  happiest  when  he 
wears  this  outfit 


Bucked 

Into 
Stardom 


A  wonderfully  interest' 
ing  story  of  how  Hoot 
Gibson,  a  champion  buster 
and  the  most  superstitious 
of  stars,  painted  his  face 
and  won  a  mansion  in 
Beverly  Hills 

By  Ivan  St.  Johns 


THIS  here  Hoot  Gibson  is  a  genial  sort  of  a  cuss. 
They  used  to  call  him  the  "  Smilin'  Cowboy  "  in  the  days 
when  his  appearances  on  the  screen  in  stunts  and  chases 
were  so  brief  you'd  miss  'em  altogether  if  you  winked 
your  eyes.  I  can  understand  why.  The  thing  that  stands 
out  most  about  him  is  an  easy,  pleasant,  deprecatory  grin 
that  matches  up  with  his  easy,  graceful,  unobtru- 
sive movements. 

That  and  his  superstitions.  I  have  met  up  with 
Africans,  Hindoos,  and  Irishmen  in  my  time  that  I 
thought  were  superstitious,  but  they  were  tame 
specimens  compared  to  this  Hoot  person. 

First  thing  he  said  to  me,  pushing  back  his 
eighty-dollar  Stetson  and  scratching  His  head  pen- 
sively, was,  "This  here  picture  I'm  making — 'Chip 
of  the  Flying  U.'  Well,  you  can't  tell  nothing 
about  it.  I  worked  in  it  once  before,  'bout  ten 
years  ago.  Got  a  bad  fall  and  was  six  months  in 
the  hospital.  Now  we're  making  it  again  and  I've 
had  six  directors  on  it  already,  but  something  hap- 
pened to  every  one  but  the  sixth  before  1  could  gel 
started  shoot  in'.  No,  I'm  not  superstitious — much 
-but  I'll  yell  if  a  black  cat  dares  cross  my  path. 
Hut  maybe  we'll  get  out  all  right  yet.  Young  jack- 
rabbit  run  between  my  horse's  legs  yesterday  and 
that's  supposed  to  be  good  luck." 

My  meeting  up  again  with  Hoot  Gibson  came 
about  like  this. 

The  motion  picture  game  is  full  of  surprises.  I 
have  become  somewhat  hardened  to  them  by  now. 

Hut  when  I  discovered  the  other  day  how  im- 
portant  Hoot  Gibson  had  become  in  the  movies, 


I  was  actually  astonished.  Probably  because  he  deserves  it, 
and  in  Hollywood  it  is  not  always  the  people  who  deserve  it 
that  get  success.     Not  always. 

When  I  knew  Hoot  back  in  the  old  Triangle  days,  before  the 
late  war,  he  was  just  a  cowboy,  working  most  anywhere  he 
could.     When  we  had  an  afternoon  off,  Hoot  and  Monte  Blue 


Appearances  are  appearances,  however,  so  Hoot  has  a  car. 
He's   as  skillful  with   machinery   as   with   a   pinto   pony 


(who  was  a  "hand"  then  himself)  and 
Abe  Farra  and  Cliff  Smith  and  I  used  to 
go  out  to  the  old  Triangle  ranch  at 
[nceville,  and  spend  an  afternoon  with 
the  horses.  I  saw  more  nn-.u  trick  rid 
ing  and  roping  in  that  corral  than  I've 
seen  in  any  staged  rodeo.

"Not  so  long.     It  was  in  1912  you  were  champion." 

"Well,  if  you  knowed  that  all  the  time,"  said  Hoot, 
peevishly,  "what  were  you  asking  me  such  fool  ques- 
tions for?" 

"And  then  you  went  to  Australia." 

"Did  I?" 

"Sure.  Some  guy  promoted  you  into  a  lot  of  hippo- 
drome contests  with  all  the  crack  busters  and  riders  in 
Australia." 

"Well,  so  he  did,"  said  Hoot,  grinning  pleasantly. 
"Say,  that  reminds  me  of  one  funny  thing  happened 
over  there  in  Australia.  I'd  always  wanted  to  take  a 
look  at  that  country,  seeing  I'd  read  in  my  geography 
about  kangaroos  and  bushwackers  and  all  that. 

"I  didn't  see  any  of  them,  but  I  got  acquainted  with 
an  Australian  saddle.  I  went  into  some  contests  over 
there,  and  I  had  some  luck— old  woman  give  me  a 
four-leaf  clover  on  the  boat — and  them  Australians 
thought  there  was  something  funny  about  it.  I  was 
riding  a  regular  American  stock  saddle,  and  pretty  soon 
they  about  decided  among  themselves  that  was  the 
reason  I'd  been  winning. 

"So  they  said  right  out  that  nobody  could  really  very 
well  fall  off  of  a  horse  with  a  saddle  like  that,  and  no 
wonder  I  could  stay  on  better,  and  why  didn't  I  be  a 
sport  and  ride  like  they  done,  with  an  Australian  saddle. 
Well,  I  didn't  see  no  call  to  deny  them  a  little  thing  like 
that,  so  I  said  for  them  to  bring  it  on  and  I'd  ride  that, 
and  they  could  have  my  big  stock  saddle  which  they 
insulted  by  calling  a  upholstered  chair.

Donald  Keith  was  engaged  to  a  sweet  young  girl  when 
he  started  East  to  film  "Dancing  Mothers'" 


The   papers   printed   rumors  of  Donald's  engagement 
to  Clara  Bow,  playing  in  the  same  piece 


A  Comedy  of  Errors 


SEVERAL  hundred  years  ago  Bill 
Shakespeare  wrote  a  play  about  the 
embarrassing  circumstances  that  fol- 
lowed a  mistake  in  identity  among 
lovers.  The  play  is  "A  Comedy  of  Errors,"  and  always  has 
been  good  for  a  flock  of  laughs. 

Hollywood  insiders  have  just  got  through  chuckling  over 
their  own  modern  version  of  Shakespeare's  famous  farce,  yet 
to  pert  and  pretty  Clara  Bow,  her  fervent  admirer,  Gilbett 
Roland,  and  Donald  Keith,  a  handsome  young  screen  actor, 
and  his  loved  one,  the  matter  was  far  from  funny. 

The  tale  begins,  of  course,  in  Hollywood,  where  Miss  Bow 
reigns  as  the  prima  donna  of  all  the 
flappers.  Well,  Clara,  it  happens, 
was  summoned  to  New  York  to  take 
an  active  part  in  the  making  of 
"Dancing  Mothers."  And  several 
days  later,  a  wire  was  received  by 
young  Mr.  Keith  instructing  him  to 
huiry  to  New  York  to  play  in  the 
same  film.  Both  said  farewell  to 
their  relatives  and  friends  (this  is  im- 
portant in  the  light  of  what  is  to  fol- 
low) and  left  the  movie  colony  con- 
tent with  its  gossip  and  its  art. 


JUST  about  the  time  they  reached 
)  New  York,  both  bought  newspapers 
and,  mirabile  dictu,  there,  on  the  very 
first  page,  were  their  names! 

The  newspaper  yam  had  them  en- 
gaged to  be  married!  And  still  more 
disconcerting  to  them  was  the  fact 
that  it  came  from  Hollywood. 

"Gee,  what  will  Gilbert  say?1 
ejaculated  Miss  Bow,  and  she  slapped 
herself  on  the  brow  and  staggered. 

"Yes,  and  what  will — (the  name  of 
the  sweet  young  girl,  not  in  pictures, 
that  he  hoped  to  wed)  say?"  de- 
manded young  Mr.  Keith.  And  his 
brows  were  at    the  moment    just   as

That    was    complicated    by    another 

fiance,  Clara's,  whose  screen  name  is 

Gilbert  Roland,  but  whose  ancestry  is 

Latin.     Read  what  followed 


corrugated  as  those  of  Mr.  Conway  Tearle 
ever  were  at  any  time  during  his  troubled 
motion  picture  existence. 

Miss  Bow  and  young  Mr.  Keith  were  not 
long  in  doubt  as  to  what  their  fiances  thought  about  the  report. 
"What  is  the  meaning  of  this?"  was  the  tenor  of  the  tele- 
grams that  came  to  them  from  out  of  the  West. 

Both  Mr.  Roland,  who,  it  must  be  explained,  is  one  of  these 
Spanish  toreadors  whose  real  name  is  Luis  Alonzo,  and  Mr. 
Keith's  sweetheart,  read  the  startling  report  in  the  Los  Angeles 
newspapers  and  believed  the  worst. 

Didn't  they  have  reason  to  believe  that  their  lovers  had  been 
faithless?  Wasn't  Clara  Bow  the 
best  little  vamp  in  Hollywood  and 
hadn't  she  and  young  Mr.  Keith  been 
the  principals  in  some  highly  con- 
vincing love  scenes  in  three  or  four 
pictures?  And  even  now.  as  a  mat  ter 
of  fact  (thought  Miss  Bow's  Latin 
lover  and  Mr.  Keith's  non-profes- 
sional friend)  weren't  Donald  and 
Clara  probably  close  in  each  other's 
arms,  before  the  camera  and  in  all 
the  bright  lights  of  the  studio,  but 
still—  ' 

It  was  just  too  terrible  for  words. 
It  really  was. 

Like  sensible  people.  Miss  Bow 
and  Mr.  Keith  immediately  wired 
back  to  Hollywood  that  their  re- 
ported engagement  was  a  falsehood, 
but  you  can  imagine  what  the 
anxious  folks  out  in  Filmland  thought 
when  they  again  read  the  same  story 
in  the  newspapers — only  this  time  it 
came  from  New  York  City,  where 
Clara  and  Donald  were. 

"  Gee."  exclaimed  Clara,  "if  I  read 
this  account  in  a  paper  once  more, 
I'll  believe  it  myself." 

And     she    sighed,     reflecting,     no

Wedding  Knells 


He  thought  himself  love'proof — and  then  he  found  a  girl  who  listened 


THE  capable  secretary  puckered  her 
pretty  brows  a  little  as  her  pencil  raced 
along.  She  had  good  reason  to  be  slightly 
puzzled  about  it  for  this  dictation  she 
was  taking  seemed  unusual  and  dampish,  if  not  all  wet: 

Mr.  Blitz  Jenkins, 
Medium  Neck,  Long  Island 

My  good  Jenkins: 

This  is  to  apprise  you  of  Frantic  Films'  final  offer  of 
Sn,ooo  for  the  screen  rights  to  your  novel,  "Goat  Alky." 
Title  to  be  changed  from  "Goat  Alley"  to  "The  Curse  of 
Marriage."  Action  to  be  shifted  from  Waukomis,  Okla- 
homa, to  New  York  City,  where  more  morons  marry. 
Comedy  relief  by  negro  character,  Mosc,  who  whitewashes 
fences  because  he  is  married. 

Opening  Title — "Marriage,  weighing  down  like  a  moldy 
blanket  on  the  milling  millions,  has  caused  more  misery  in 
this  old  world  of  ours  than  war,  pestilence  and  efficiency 
combined." 

Flash — Galley  slaves  of  ancient  Rome,  chained  to  their 
oars. 

Title — "The  Romans,  mightiest  of  men,  still  had  Mar- 
riage." 

Out  of  this  mythical  and  allegorical  1  eginning  the  plot 
unfold; — 

"  My  dear  man,"  said  the  pretty  secretary  at  that  moment, 
with  a  gentle  and  reproachful  drawl. 

Mr.  Tomlinson  Bowman,  the  bright  young  subdirector  of  the 


By  Karl  Green 


scenario  department  of  Frantic  Films,  had  been 
dictating  with  his  elbows  on  his  desk  and  his 
head  in  his  hands.  Now  he  looked  up,  with  an 
expression  of  sorrowful  reproof. 

"Sweet,  sweet  Lonnie, "  he  said  plaintively.  "Now  let's  go 
on  with  the  letter." 

"No,"  said  Lonnie  tranquilly,  and  put  down  her  pencil  and 
pad.  She  sat  back  in  her  chair,  shifted  her  position  a  little  so 
she  could  look  out  of  the  windows,  and  began  studying  the 
skyline  of  uptown  Manhattan  with  airy  serenity.  Mr.  Bow- 
man regarded  her  with  a  baffled  expression  which  deepened 
slowly  into  sour  understanding. 

"  You  would  imply  that  I  have  been  dictating  tommyrot,"  he 
said  bitterly.  Lonnie  favored  him  with  a  blue  reflective  stare. 
"Very  well  then,  I  have  been  dictating  tommyrot,"  said  Mr. 
Bowman  wearily. 

After  another  pause,  he  seemed  to  feel  that  explanations 
were  in  order.  "Of  late,"  he  submitted  with  scowling  non- 
chalance, "I  have  been  grieved,  deeply  grieved  and  harassed 
and  positively  bothered,  over  the  approaching  fate  of  a  fool 
friend.  Hence,  these  few  absent-minded  reflections  on  the 
subject  of  wedlock.  He  thinks  he  wants  to  get  married, "  said 
Mr.  Bowman  with  a  shudder. 

"How  sweet,"  said  the  dainty  secretary  over  her  shoulder. 
"Is  it  anybody  I  know?" 

"The  male  party  to  the  infamy  is  Dickie  Lee,"  said  Mr. 
Bowman  in  a  tired  voice. 

In  the  placid  gaze  of  Lonnie  appeared  a  flicker  of  interest. 
"Oh,  Mr.  Lee — he  assembles  the  Frantic  Films  Fortnightly, 
doesn't  he?"  she  asked.

Tom    Bowman,    the    cynic,    saved    his    friend    from 


"  There  is  a  tradition  to  that  effect, "  said 
Mr.  Bowman  with  reserve. 

"But  who  is  the  pretty  lady?"  asked 
Lonnie. 

"Needless  mystery  veils  the  amour," 
replied  Mr.  Bowman  sourly.  He  refrained 
from  adding  that  he  himself  shared  an 
apartment  with  Mr.  Lee  not  far  from  their 
place  of  labor,  and  still  could  not  solve  the 
problem.  "The  dim-wit  hides  her  out 
from  his  best  friends, "  he  said. 

"So  none  of  you  can  get  hold  of  her  and 
poison  her  mind, "  said  Lonnie  demurely. 
"It  is  a  shame." 

"Yes,  the  worm  has  cunning,"  admitted 
Mr.  Bowman.  "I  know  her  first  name, 
though, "  he  went  on  darkly.  "  It  escaped 
at  an  early  stage  of  the  affair — Yo-landa, " 
enunciated  Mr.  Bowman  with  a  cynical 
and  acrid  sneer. 

""\y*OLANDA,"  murmured  the  pleasant 

i-  secretary,  "such  a  lovely  name.  So 
romantic,  don't  you  think?" 

"Sweet  Breakfast-food,"  muttered  Mr. 
Bowman,  hoarsely  and  wearily.  After  a 
moment  he  looked  up  with  a  light  of  resolve 
in  his  eyes.  "  My  dear  young  lady, "  he 
said  pitifully,  "you  are  the  pearl  among 
secretaries;  let  me  consult  you  profession- 
ally. Let  us  take  up  the  case  of  my  friend 
Mr.  Lee.  The  wedding  bells  are  baying  at 
the  very  heels  of  the  little  wild  thing,  and 
gaining  with  every  leap.  But  the  threat- 
ened rabbit  scorns  the  good  offices  of  his 
friends.  What  can  be  done,  what  can  be 
done  to  thwart  the  kill?" 

"You  mean,  you  don't  think  he  ought  to 
get  married?"  asked  Lonnie  dreamily. 

"Ulp,"  answered  Mr.  Bowman,  seem- 
ingly at  a  loss  for  words. 

"Well,"  said  Lonnie  placidly,  "I  think 
you're  just  driving  him  into  it  if  you  keep 
on  watching  him  and  suppressing  him. 
Don't  you?" 

"There  is  merit  in  that  speculation," 
said  Mr.  Bowman  with  awakening  interest. 
"Harassed  and  driven  into  a  corner,  the 
rabbit  may  ruin  himself  in  his  desperation. " 

"Something  like  that.  Why  don't  you 
change  your  style  and  encourage  him  a 
little?"  suggested  the  blue-eyed  Fate.  "He 
might  begin  wondering  what  it's  all  about." 

The  efficient  young  executive  was  able  to 
recognize  a  scientist  when  he  saw  one.  He 
devoted  a  full  moment  to  regarding  his 
secretary  with  respect. 

"To  arouse  the  doubts  of  the  bunny,"  he  said  thoughtfully. 
"To  stir  him  into  scampering  for  freedom,  through  pretending 
to  urge  him  into  slavery.  But  there  is  one  difficulty.  Such  a 
sudden  change  on  my  part  will  awake  suspicion  in  what  the 
rabbit  is  pleased  to  call  his  mind." 

"  But  I  didn't  mean  for  you  to  go  right  up  and  give  him  a 
wedding  present,"  drawled  Lonnie.  "Just  offer  to  go  apart- 
ment-hunting with  him,  or  take  him  out  for  a  picnic  in  Yonkers." 

Mr.  Bowman  got  to  his  feet  and  bowed,  almost  humbly. 
"I'll  take  him  house-hunting  in  Chelsea.  This  discussion  of 
my  friend's  peril  lias  harrowed  my  feelings  deeply,  deeply,"  he 
murmured.  "1  fear  that  further  dull  toil  today  is  out  of  the 
question.  Please  file  the  unfinished  business,  including  the  Blitz 
Jenkins  correspondence,  in  the  small  batik  wastebasket.  We 
will  take  it  up  at  some  less  distressful  time,"  he  directed,  and 
fluttered  out  of  tin-  office. 

The  blue-eyed  secretary  turned  to  her  tiling  cases,  with  a 
dainty  and  meditative  smile.  Outside,  the  sinking  sun  shone 
down  on  pitiless  Broadway,  the  street  of  tarnish  and  tinsel, 
where  women  are  silken  wolves,  and  where  the  virginal  soul 
of  the  village  boy  grows  coarse,  grows  hard. 


II 

UP  Broadway  strode  a  tall  and  striking  figure,  advancing 
with  the  swinging  though  purposeful  lope  of  the  true 
leader  of  men.  Arriving  at  West  74th  Street,  our  hero,  for  it 
was  none  other,  turned,  and  shortly  afterward  inserted  himself 
into  the  chaste  yet  elegant  apartment  occupied  in  common  by 
himself  and  Mr.  Richard  Lee.  Mr.  Bowman  was  returning  to 
begin  easing  the  dagger  of  matrimonial  doubt  into  the  heart  of 
his  unwary  friend,  by  urging  him  to  Brodie  into  the  abyss. 

First,  however,  he  took  a  look  at  the  lure  he  had  left  out  in 
plain  sight  that  morning  in  the  hope  it  might  exert  its  uplift  on 
the  renegade.  But  the  eyes  of  the  reformer  darkened  with  dis- 
appointment, for  the  flask  of  authentic  gin  still  stood  untouched 
on  the  reading  table.  The  line  of  the  liquid  across  the  bottle 
neck  was  unlowered  even  by  the  fraction  of  an  inch.  There 
was  no  present  hope  of  Mr.  Lee's  escaping  from  the  water 
wagon. 

With  a  stitled  sigh,  the  thwarted  Mr.  Bowman  turned  to  the 
fated  Mr.  bee.  That  young  man  lay  sprawling  on  the  floor  of 
the  living  room,  in  the  midst  of  a  library;  all  around  him  were

tumbled  obscure  and  hideous  tomes,  and  a  large  one  lay  open 
beneath  his  eye.  He  looked  up,  wearing  his  natural  expression 
of  amiability,  tempered  of  late  with  a  certain  chill  suspicion. 
"H'lo,"  said  Mr.  Lee  doubtfully. 

"Howsa  world,  old  fellow?"  said  Mr.  Bowman  in  classic 
Manhattanese.  He  had  bethought  him  of  his  subtle  strategy, 
and  there  was  labored  geniality  in  his  tone.  "What's  the  new 
fancy?"  he  asked,  indicating  the  books  on  the  floor. 

''Oh,  just  reading  up  a  little,"  answered  Mr.  Lee  with  the 
airy  candor  of  a  child  stealing  sugar. 

MR.  BOWMAN  stooped  over  to  inspect  more  closely  the 
little  prattler's  game.  The  large  book  which  lay  open  was 
printed  in  poetry,  and  captioned  "Paradise  Lost."  Not  a  bad 
head,  at  that,  thought  Mr.  Bowman.  Near  "Paradise  Lost"  lay 
the  "Duchess'  Daughter,"  by  Bertha  M.  Clay,  and  from  under 
an  armchair  Plutarch's  '"Life  of  Coriolanus"  peeped  out. 
Mr.  Bowman  had  a  sinking  feeling. 

He  began  cross-examining  and  learned  his  fears  were  justi- 
fied.    The  avarice  of  the  prospective  benedict  had  begun  to 


fester  in  the  soul  of  Mr.  Lei-.  He  must  save  up  for  a  cottage  in 
the  suburbs.  So  he  had  conceived  the  bright  idea  of  reading 
books  in  odd  hours  to  search  out  scenario  hunches. 

Mr.  Richard  Lee  now  plucked  up  courage  to  unbosom  himself 
of  another  of  his  schemes  of  greed.  lie  spoke  in  a  shame- 
faced way,  as  befits  the  miser  fondling  his  ducats. 

"Seems  to  me  we're  a  pair  of  mackerel  for  yielding  up  the 
blood-money  they  call  rent  in  this  house,"  he  muttered  with 
pitiful  jauntiness.     "It  isn't  half  worth  it,  you  know." 

"Pardon?"  asked  Mr.  Bowman  mechanically,  turning  from 
the  window.  Not  yet  did  he  realize  the  lengths  a  mad  love 
will  leap  to,  at  one  convulsive  jerk. 

"I  mean,  this  place  on  West  74th  is  a  bit  ultra,  for  us." 
persisted  the  sordid  Mr.  Lee.  "It's  so  far  downtown,  it  looks 
ostentatious.  More  space  than  we  need,  too,  three  whole 
rooms  and  a  bath. "  The  avaricious  peasant  paused  a  moment, 
moistened  his  dry  lips  with  his  tongue,  and  plodded  on.  "I 
looked  around  a  little  this  morning.  Found  just  the  place  we 
want,  it  seems  to  me.  Lovely  furnished  room,  rents  for  less 
than  half  this  place,  in  a  fine  quiet        [  continued  on  page  78  ]

"Sunny."  one  of  Broadway's  biggest  musical 
comedy  hits. 

Hut  the  rumor  persists,  Miss  Miller's 
mother  told  Chicago  newspapers  that  Marilyn 
and  Jack  Pickford  bad  come  to  the  parting  of 
the  ways.  Marilyn  was  highly  indignant  when 
the  story  was  shown  her  and  declared  her 
mother  had  no  authority  to  speak  for  her. 

The  news  does  not  come  as  a  surprise  to 
Broadway,  however,  for  Jack  and  bis  charming 
wife  have  not  lived  together  since  the  dramatic 
scene  in  the  Hiltmore  Hotel  last  summer. 
Marilyn  and  Jack  had  been  abroad.     It  was

said  that  Jack  had  not  behaved  to  suit  Marilyn 
while  in  Europe.  Back  in  New  York  Marilyn 
started  rehearsing  her  new  show.  Jack  began 
stepping  about  Broadway.  Marilyn  pleaded. 
Then  she  wired  for  Jack's  mother. 

Mrs.  Pickford  came  to  New  York  and, 
mother-like,  thought  the  trouble  might  be  her 
daughter-in-law's.  She  is  said  to  have  hired 
detectives  to  trail  Marilyn  and  report  her 
routine  from  morning  to  night. 

At  any  rate,  detectives  did  trail  Marilyn,  and 
after  ten  days  made  a  report.  It  was  taken 
to  the  hotel  and  left  for  "Mrs.  Pickford." 
Now  it  so  happened  that  not  only  Jack's 
mother,  but  Marilyn,  was  registered  at  the 
Biltmore  as  "Mrs.  Pickford."  Anyway. 
Marilyn  got  the  detective's  report. 

She  read  it  from  start  to  finish.  Then  she 
went  for  Jack  and  his  mother  and  told  them 
what  she  thought  of  them.  Next  day  Jack  and 
bis  mother  left  lor  California. 

ANYWAY,  she  was  honest.  The 
casting  director  asked  the  pretty 
newcomer  if  she  had  ever  had  any 
experience. 

"Two  years  on  Broadway,"  she 
replied. 

"In  what?" 

"In  the  window  of  Child's  making 
pancakes." 

P.S.—  She  got  the  job. 

'"Till'',   lost    has   been    found.      At    least    Nita 
J-  Naldi  has  been  located  geographically. 

Nita  sailed  for  Europe  three  months  ago, 
promising  Marion  Fairfax  to  return  to  Holly- 


wood in  lime  to  play  a  leading  role  in  "The 
Desert  Healer."  which  Miss  Fairfax  is  produc- 
ing for  First  National. 

When  "The  Desert  Healer"  was  ready  to  go 
into  production.  Nita  was  unable  to  be  found. 
Cable  after  cable  failed  to  reach  the  film  vamp, 
and  no  word  had  been  received  from  her. 

Miss  Fairfax  began  to  worn-,  not  so  much 
about  the  delay  in  starting  her  production  as 
about  what  had  happened  to  Nita.  for  it  was 
feared  she  may  have  suffered  a  physical  break- 
down as  an  aftermath  of  her  recent  feat  of 
reducing  twenty  pounds  by  dieting  and  fasting. 

The  State  Department  at  Washington  was 
asked  to  aid  in  the  search  for  the  missing 
vampire.  And  Nita  was  found,  though  she  had 
not  been  lost.  Mi>s  Naldi  is  in  Munich, 
Germany,  having  a  delightful  time  flitting  on 
pleasure  bent  between  Berlin.  Paris  and  other 
capitals  of  European  gaiety.  For  three  months 
she  has  been  abroad,  during  which  time  no 
direct  word  was  received  by  the  producer,  her 
business  representatives  or  friends. 

So  naughty  Nita  will  not  be  in  the  cast  of 
"The  Desert  Healer."  Katherine  MacDonald 
has  been  chosen  to  take  her  place.

Patsy  Ruth  Miller  was  determined  to  remain  the  un- 
bobbed  beauty  of  Hollywood.  She  held  out  as  long  as  it 
was  femininely  possible.  Now  Pat  is  turning  a  deaf 
and  pretty  ear  to  the  gentle  razzing  of  her  friends — for 
it's  all  off,  and  laid  away  in  tissue  paper 


"Phantom  Dancing" — so-called  because  no  music  is

UPON*  her  present  visit,  Peggy  Hopkins 
Joyce  has  certainly  seen  and  conquered 
Holl\-\vood. 

When  Peggy  came  out  a  year  or  two  ago,  and 
was  much  attended  by  Charlie  Chaplin,  the 
women  of  the  film  colony  showed  some  hesita- 
tion where  the  world-famous  vampire  was  con- 
cerned. There  was  even  a  story  that  Mary 
Pickford  had  refused  to  receive  her.  Be  that  as 
it  may.  most  of  the  wives  and  sweethearts  took 
a  firm  hold  on  their  husbands'  coattails  and 
said,  "You  stay  away  from  Peggy  Hopkins 
Joyce." 

When  Miss  Joyce  came  out  to  make  "The 
Skyrocket."  her  first  starring  picture,  she 
worked  hard,  went  to  bed  early,  and  was  seen 
by  nobody. 

This  time,  when  she  returned  from  a  trium- 
phant trip  to  Paris  ready  to  go  to  work  on  her 
new  screen  vehicle,  she  swept  all  before  her. 
She  has  made  a  great  personal  hit  and  is  seen 
everywhere,  in  the  most  exclusive  homes  and 
with  the  very  best  people. 

Mrs.  Earle  Williams,  who  is  without  ques- 
tion the  most  popular  non-professional  woman 
in  Hollywood  and  was  a  New  York  society 
girl,  has  entertained  repeatedly  for  Peggy 
Joyce. 

The  Yon  Stroheims  have  given  several 
delightful  affairs  in  her  honor.  New  Year's 
Eve  she  was  quite  the  most  beautiful  woman 
at  the  Sixty  Club,  and  on  New  Year's  night 
she  was  the  guest  of  honor  at  a  party  given  by 
George  Fitzmaurice.  Mrs.  Harold  Lloyd  used 
the  occasion  of  her  Christmas|  tea  to  make 
Peggy  known  to  all  her  friends,  and  Bebe 
Daniels  has  given  at  least  one  grand  party 
featuring  pretty  Peggy. 


T  MADE  the  trip  up  into  the  mountains  back 
*■  of  Pasadena  the  other  day,  hoping  to  see 
Barbara  La  Marr  and  wish  her  a  merry  Christ- 
mas. But  they  wouldn't  let  me  see  her. 
Barbara  hasn't  seen  anyone  but  her  father  for 
weeks-. 

The  doctors  tell  me  that  there  is  hope  of  her 
recovery,  that  she  is  mending  fast,  but  that 
she  must  have  absolute  quiet.  But  from  other 
sources  come  disquieting  rumors,  and  I  didn't 
like  the  look  in  her  father's  eyes. 

To  be  remembered  by  those  who  loved  her 
on  the  screen,  even  though  she  can  only  be  told 
about  it,  would  cheer  her  greatly.  Barbara 
loved  the  world  dearly  and  it  must  be  hard  to 
be  shut  away  from  it. 

THE  grand  opening  of  "Ben-Hur"  at  the 
George  M.  Cohan  Theater  in  New  York 
last  month  was  a  gala  event.  Ramon  Novarro, 
Francis  X.  Bushman,  May  McAvoy  and  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Fred  Niblo  all  came  from  Hollywood 
to  attend  the  premiere.  But  Ramon  had  bad 
luck.  He  had  contracted  a  slight  cold  on  the 
train,  and  arriving  in  New  York  was  ordered  to 
bed  at  once,  where  he  was  obliged  to  stay 
throughout  his  entire  visit  East. 

The  others  attended  the  opening  and  were 
greeted  with  tremendous  applause.  Fred 
Niblo  was  rushed  at  the  finish  of  the  picture 
and  it  looked  as  if  he  would  never  get  out  of  the 
theater.  A  hundred  friends  wanted  to  con- 
gratulate him.  He  apologized  for  the  damp- 
ness of  his  palm,  which  was  plainly  caused  by 
the  nervousness  he  felt  waiting  for  the  picture's 
reception. 

The  reception  was  all  the  director,  stars  and 
producers  could  have  wished.     For  the  first 


time  in  picture  history,  the  blase"  Broadway 
audience  forgot  itself  so  far  as  to  cheer  madly 
during  the  chariot  race.  This  was  indeed  a 
tribute  to  the  picture's  sponsors. 

All  the  stars  in  New  York  attended  the  open- 
ing. Aileen  Pringle  was  accompanied  by 
Kenneth  McKenna,  who  danced  constant  at- 
tendance upon  the  star  during  her  visit  East. 
May  Allison  wore  a  beautiful  cloth  of  gold 
creation.  Alma  Rubens  wore  a  wrap  of 
ermine.  Lois  Moran's  escort  was  one  of  New 
York's  clever  young  journalists.  She  was 
daintily  clad  in  a  white  georgette  dress. 

T>  ONALD  COLMAN,  after  spending  many 
-*-*-months  as  a  recluse  in  Hollywood  and  mak- 
ing everybody  think  he  was  a  dark  and  Mnister 
and  possibly  dull  person,  has  finally  come  out 
of  his  shell.  He's  selected  a  little  group  of 
friends  and  proved  himself  a  charming  young 
man  with  a  real  sense  of  humor,  a  broad  educa- 
tion, and  a  great  deal  of  kindly  understanding. 
Whether  or  not  the  dissipation  of  the  mystery 
and  the  crumblingofhis  inaccessibility  will  be 
to  his  advantage,  it's  hard  to  tell.  But  it's  a 
great  relief  to  his  friends. 

COMETIIING  has  happened  to  Adolphe 
^Menjou.  He  has  thrown  off  the  somber 
dignity  that  has  always  characterized  his  off- 
stage moments,  and  is  light-hearted  and  gay  as 
a  little  boy.  He  is  thoroughly  enjoying  his 
stay  in  New  York  and  the  picture  he  is  making 
with  Mai  St.  Clair  at  the  Paramount  Long 
Island  Studio. 

It  may  be  the  bracing  Eastern  climate,  or  it 
may  be  his  new  matrimonial  freedom,  for  it  is

Folks,  meet  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ed  Mauer  of  Omaha — the 
world's  champion  picture  fans.  They  have  gone  to  the 
movies  every  night  for  eight  years.  Pa  is  74  and  Ma  63. 
Their  favorite  stars  are  Charlie  Chaplin,  Harold  Lloyd, 
Milton  Sills,  Gloria  Swanson  and  Mary  Pickford 


A  clean  start  in  life.  That's  what  every  guy  needs. 
And  it's  just  what  Jack  Hoxie  got,  as  this  picture  of 
him  at  the  tender  age  of  one-half  year  reveals.  Jack  is 
today  one  of  the  wildest  riders  and  one  of  the  most 
popular  Western  stars  in  pictures 


Mrs.  Menjou  have  come  to  the  parting  of  the 
ways. 

Incompatibility  is  said  to  be  the  cause. 
There  is  the  story  that  Mrs.  Menjou  felt  her 
dapper  husband  spent  too  much  money  on  his 
clothes.  A  thirty-five  dollar  pair  of  shoes  once 
caused  a  row.  A  friend  of  Adolphe's  burned  a 
hole  in  the  living  room  rug  one  night,  which 
didn't  help  matters. 

Kathryn  Menjoujjjwas  formerly  a  business 
and  newspaper  woman,  and  felt  she  was  far 
more  capable  of  managing  her  husband's  career 
than  he  was.  But  producers  are  loath  to  do 
business  with  the  wives  and  husbands  of  stars, 
and  the  affairs  of  Adolphe  seemed  always 
badly  mixed  up  under  Mrs.  Mcnjou's  man- 
agement. 

The  truth  of  the  situation  is  difficult  to 
arrive  at  as  Menjou  refuses  to  discuss  his  per- 
sonal affairs  with  reporters,  and  Mrs.  Menjou 
declares  that  her  husband  will  return  to  his 
Hollywood  home  upon  the  completion  of  his 
current  film. 

WE  can  breathe  easier  now.  Jack  Rarry- 
morc  likes  "The  Rig  Parade."  However, 
there  is  one  small  llaw  that  he  detected.  It's 
the  dying  scene  where  Jack  Gilbert  gives  the 
poor  shell-torn  German  lad  his  last  cigarette, 
and  then  the  Uhlan  youngster  expires  .  .  . 
with  his  mouth  closed. 

Barrymore  says  it  can't  be  done  —  dying 
with  closed  mouth.  It's  been  tried  often,  1  ut 
you  just  can't  expire  with  your  lips  locked. 

T\T  answering  Mary  Miles  Minler's  suit  for  an 
■•■accounting  of  her  money  earned.  Mrs.  Char- 
lotte Shelby  declares  thai  Mary  received  all 

the  money  due  her.  She  denies  thai  she  had 
received  amounts  during  her  daughter's 
minority  unaccounted  for. 

The  mother  claims  that  she  is  entitled  to 
every  rent  Mary  earned  prior  to  her  eighteenth 
birthday  on  the  ground  that  up  to  that  time 
the  star  was  a  minor  and  under  her  full  conl  rol. 


Mrs.  Shelby  admits  receiving  8742,000  from 
Famous  Players  over  a  two-year  period,  but 
declares  that  it  was  all  delivered  to  Mary.  She 
denies  getting  $52,000  from  the  old  American 
Film  Company,  or  $218,000  from  Famous 
prior  to  April  1st,  1920,  Mary's  eighteenth 
birthday. 

The  case  will  be  finally  settled  sometime  in 
March. 

Mary  is  in  New  York  trying  to  get  a 
role  on  the  speaking  stage.  She  is  still  con- 
siderably overweight,  but  has  promised  several 
producers  to  get  in  trim  if  they  will  find  her  a 
suitable  part  in  a  good  play. 

"LJALF  of  Vilma  Banky's  charm  is

our  tongue  into  a  language  of  de-

The  other  day  she  wore  a  new 
frock  to  the  studio  and  Ronald  Col- 
man  complimented  her  on  it. 

"Your  dress  is  very  pretty,  Vilma," 
said  the  erstwhile  Sphinx. 

"Ah !  and  do  you  know  vhy  eet  iss

"This  is  Miss  Vilma  Hanky  of  the  Metro- 
Goldwyn-Mayer  Studios,  isn't  it?" 

"No — the  Samuel  Goldwyn  Productions," 
corrected  Sam. 

And  then  Vilma  leaned  over  to  the  speaker 
and  with  her  confiding,  yet  important,  little

HTHE  sensational  newspapers  simply  won't 
■*-  let  up  on  Xatacha  Rambova.  They  re- 
cently hailed  with  headlines  an  inconsequential 
happening  in  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  where  Miss 
Rambova  opened  in  her  new  vaudeville  sketch, 
"The  Blue  Vial." 

The  theater  manager  had  the  bright  idea  of 
looking  Xatacha 's  act  on  the  same  bill  as 
Valentino  in  "Cobra,"  expecting  to  cash  in  on 
the  recent  divorce  publicity.  But  the  beauti- 
ful Rambova  put  her  foot  down  flatly.  She 
has  no  intention  of  selling  herself  to  the  public 
with  the  Valentino  name,  and  declined  to 
appear  on  the  same  program  with  his  picture  at 
the  theater. 

Her  praiseworthy  motive  was  ignored  by  the 
newspaper  reporters,  and  a  thrilling  story 
made  of  the  incident,  full  of  such  lines  as 
"Mrs.  Valentino  proved  her  dislike  for  the 
nearness  of  Rudy  very  emphatically  when  she 
refused,  etc.."  and  "he  can't  come  messing 
around  her,  not  even  on  the  screen!"

Theater — Elinor  Glyn's  "Soulma'.cs."  Of

the  box  office,  but  I  couldn't  help  but  recall  the 
note  the  editor  of  Photoplay  received  from 


w 


This  odd  looking  headdress  was  sent  to  Norma  Shearer  by 
a  fan  in  Japan.  It  is  a  Japanese  silk  scarf  colored  tomato 
red  and  pink.  Norma  wears  it  with  a  canary  yellow 
sports  costume,  and  says  it  is  ideal  for  keeping  her  long 
hair  in  place  while  driving  to  the  studio 


Whoever  said  that  bobbed  hair  would  cramp  the  style  of 
individual  hairdressing  didn't  know  the  movie  girls. 
Aileen  Pringle's  is  the  most  startling  to  date.  The 
coiffed  Glyn  heroine  has  disappeared  completely.  Bangs 
are  the  most  distinctive  part  of  this  cut 


her  sometime  ago.  It  read:  "Metro-Goldwyn- 
Mayer  are  now  shooting  a  story  called  'The 
Reason  Why.'  They  bought  the  film  rights  of 
the  book  of  that  name  by  me  from  Selznick, 
who  owned  them,  and  Mr.  Carey  Wilson  has 
written  the  story  under  that  title.  I  feel  that 
if  it  is  good,  which  it  very  well  may  be,  he 
should  receive  the  credit  of  it  and  not  I,  as  I 
had  nothing  to  do  with  it.  On  the  other  hand 
I  feel  that  I  should  not  be  blamed  if  the  picture 
is  bad." 

This  note  was  received  about  the  time  this 
production  first  started. 

"pi. IVOR  usually  supervises  all  her  produc- 
-'-'tions,  but  there  was  a  mix-up  and  Elinor 
cancelled  her  contract  with  Metro  and  re- 
nounced all  claim  to  her  story  which  was 
changed  to  the  above  mentioned  title.  Why? 
No  one  knows.  It's  just  one  of  the  many 
peculiar  incidents  that  happen  on  all  studio 
lots. 

Since  the  completion  and  release  of  this  pic- 
ture, Metro  and  Elinor  have  patched  up  their 
differences  and  Miss  Glyn  is  now  working  on 
the  scenario  and  will  personally  supervise  the 
production  of  another  of  her  novels,  "Love's 
Blindness."

them  is  serious  or  not,  so  we  give  you  this  only 
for  what  it  may  be  worth.  But  there  are  cer- 
tainly signs  of  a  budding  romance  between 
Bebe  Daniels  and  that  coming  young  director, 
Eddie  Sutherland. 

Of  course  it  is  nothing  to  see  a  whole  flock 
of  men  in  Bebc's  train,  but  of  late  Eddie  has 
had  her  here  and  there  all  to  himself,  and  that 
begins  to  look  suspicious. 

They  both  declare  that  anything  might  hap- 
pen, so  don't  Le  surprised  if  some  day  they 
get  married. 

On  the  other  hand,  don't  be  surprised  if 
they  don't. 


TN  addition  to  being  a  great  show-

atrical presentation  and  the  owner  of 
the  world's  most  unruly  wavy  hair, 
Sid  Grauman  has  a  sense  of  humor. 
Witness: 

Warner  Brothers  are  planning  a 
huge  picture  palace  in  Hollywood, 
several  blocks  from  where  Grauman 
plies  his  trade.  The  other  day  all  the 
Warner  boys  with  the  entire  Warner 
force  of  stars,  directors,  scenarists, 
secretaries,  clerks  and  office  boys  at- 
tended the  upturning  of  the  first 
shovelful  of  dirt  which  was  cere- 
moniously performed  by  Motley 
Flint  with  a  golden  spade. 

Just  as  the  ceremony  was  at  its 
height,  along  the  street  at  funereal 
pace  came  a  hearse  bearing  the 
signs:  "Success  to  Warner  Broth- 
ers. Sid  Grauman."  It  was  fol- 
lowed by  two  professional  mourners 
in  blackest  crepe. 

But  the  Warner  Brothers  are  not 
lacking  in  humor  and  they  soon  had  a 
dummy  on  display  which  was  pla- 
carded thusly:  "Here  lies  King  Sid

"DOLA'S  going  to  watch  her  clocks  hereafter. 
*-  The  other  evening  as  she  went  about  her 
Beverly  Hills  home  winding  the  clocks  and 
putting  out  the  cat,  she  discovered  that  one  of 
her  most  treasured  clocks  had  disappeared. 

Pola  was  grieved.  Pola  wept.  Pola  stormed. 
Pola  swore — revenge.  The  clock  was  from  a 
"very  dear  friend."  It  had  a  sentimental 
value. 

So  the  officers  of  the  law  galloped  forth  to 


apprehend  the  thief,  who  proved  to  be  a  one- 
time dinner  guest  at  the  Negri  home  and  who 
was  a  handsome  but  hungry  young  Russian. 

The  young  chap  was  haled  into  court  and 
Pola  was  summoned  to  testify  against  him,  but 
Pola,  feeling  compunctious  and  full  of  sorrow 
for  the  lad's  misdemeanor,  said  she  was  "so 
sorry"  and  "wasn't  there  some  away  she 
could  help  him?"  So  the  suit  was  dismissed, 
and  the  youth  was  forgiven,  and  Pola  left  the 
courtroom  amid  admiring  gazes. 

But  Pola's  going  to  watch  her  clocks  here- 
after.

she  threatened  to  throw  her  high- 
heeled  pumps  at  a  bimbo  who  said 
she  had  eyes  like  Strongheart. 

AXXA  Q.  XILSSOX  has  a  most  dreadful 
yen  for  mimicking  the  nobility.  When  Sam 
Rork  made  "Ponjola"  and  chose  Anna  Q.  for 
the  heroine  who  masquerades  as  a  young  lad, 
she  dashed  out  and  had  her  hair  cut  a  la  the 
Prince  of  Wales.  The  haircut,  abetted  by  her 
tailored  men's  attire,  made  her  look  like  a 
replica  of  the  royal  scion. 

And  then  the  other  day  at  Lake  Arrowhead 
she  fell  from  her  horse! 

But  it  really  was  no  laughing  matter  and 
poor  Anna  Q.  was  laid  up  for  several  weeks 
with  a  dislocated  vertebra  and  some  nasty 
bruises  and  abrasions. 

GRETA  XISSEX  is  touchy.     She  became 
hysterical  the  other  day  over  nothing  at  all. 
Greta  was  playing  the  feminine  lead  with

THE    NATIONAL    GUIDE 


STELLA  MARIS— Universal 

MARY  PHILBIN,  under  the  guidance  of  Charles  Brabin, 
has  brought  to  the  screen  one  of  the  most  difficult  of 
characterizations.  The  version  of  this  famous  novel  by 
William  Locke,  which  Mary  Pickford  made  several  years 
ago,  was  acclaimed  the  highest  degree  of  artistry.  This 
picture,  on  a  whole,  cannot  compare  with  its  predecessor, 
but  due  praise  is  accredited  Miss  Philbin  for  daring  to 
sacrifice  her  beauty  in  the  role  of  Unity,  a  deformed  slavey, 
whose  beauty  of  soul  is  as  evident  as  her  ugliness.  However, 
all  Mary  Philbin's  beauty  is  not  wasted,  for  she  plays  a 
dual  role — Unity  and  Stella  Maris,  a  beautiful  cripple. 

Gladys  Brockwell's  performance,  as  the  wife,  is  notable; 
so  also  is  Elliott  Dexter's  as  the  elder  lover  and  Jason  Ro- 
bards  as  the  chosen  one. 
Be  sure  to  sec  this  picture! 


THREE  FACES  EAST— Producers  Dist. 

YES,  it's  about  the  war — but  don't  let  that  or  anything 
else  keep  you  away  from  this  picture.  It  is  not  the  con- 
ventional war  play.  There  are  no  trenches  or  barbed  wire 
Or  dead  soldiers.  The  plot  deals  exclusively  with  the  inside 
Workings  of  the  German  and  English  Secret  Service. 

It  is  a  thrilling,  fast-moving  and  entirely  logical  mystery 
story,  with  Jetta  Goudal  giving  a  superb  performance  of  a 
fascinating  woman  of  intrigue.  Not  until  the  final  scene  do 
you  find  out  lor  certain  who  she  is. 

Rupert  Julian  directed  the  picture  and  lias  done  a  splendid 
piece  of  work.  He  also  appears  in  a  scene  as  William  Hohen- 
ZoUern.  Clive  Brook,  Henry  Walthall  and  Robert  Ames  are 
the  other  actors  who  prove  that  a  good  story,  well  directed 
and  capably  acted,  needs  no  star.

A  Review  of  the  7s[etf  Pictures 


BEN-HUR— Metro-Golduyn-Mayer 

FOUR  million  dollars  and  several  years'  time  and  infinite 
patience  went  into  making  "' Ben-Hur."  The  finished 
version  justifies  all  of  it.  Elsewhere  in  this  issue  is  related 
the  story  of  its  accomplishment. 

"Ben-Hur"  is  not  a  flat  picture  upon  a  screen.  It  is  a 
thing  of  beauty  and  a  joy  for  ten  years  at  least. 

Reverence  and  emotion  serve  as  background  for  the  un- 
dying drama  of  Christ  interwoven  with  the  story  of  Ben-Hur, 
the  young  Jew  who  aimed  to  serve  Him. 

The  screen  has  yet  to  reveal  anything  more  exquisitely 
moving  than  the  scenes  at  Bethlehem,  the  blazing  of  the  star 
in  the  heavens,  the  shepherds  and  the  Wise  Men  watching. 
The  gentle,  radiant  Madonna  of  Betty  Bronson's  is  a  mas- 
terpiece. 

Xovarro  is  a  perfect  Ben-Hur.  He  gives  an  inspired  per- 
formance. The  story  carries  him  from  early  boyhood, 
through  the  Roman  occupation  of  his  city,  through  his  years 
as  a  galley  slave,  through  shipwreck  and  temptation  until 
the  final  great  moment  in  the  Circus  Maximus  when  he 
drives  his  chariot  to  victory  over  Messala  and  wins  the  love 
of  the  gentle  Esther.  Francis  X.  Bushman,  as  Messaia,  is 
very  tine,  indeed,  and  screens  magnificently. 

The  gore  ami  glory  of  the  galleys,  the  thrill  and  beauty  of 
the  racing  horses,  the  mobs  at  the  Joppa  gate,  the  desolation 
of  the  lepers  among  whom  are  the  mother  and  sister  of  Hur, 
the  furious  excitement  of  the  Circus,  all  these  pass  before  the 
tense  stillness  that  precedes  the  death  of  Christ.  The  Last 
Supper,  the  judgment  of  Pontius  Pilate,  the  shadow  of  Cal- 
vary— all  are  touched  with  imagination  and  reverence. 

This  is  a  truly  great  picture.  No  one,  no  matter  what  his 
age  or  religion,  should  miss  it.    And  take  the  children.

THE  SEA  BEAST— Warner  Brothers 

TO  the  thousands  who  have  been  thrilled  by  Herman  Mel- 
ville's "Moby  Dick,"  the  story  of  a  white  whale,  this 
screen  translation  will  be  eminently  satisfying.  Those  who 
have  not  read  the  book  have  in  store  for  them  a  motion  pic- 
ture that  the  Warners  can  conscientiously  call  a  classic. 

The  outstanding  feature  of  the  film  play  is  the  exquisite 
love  story  of  A  hob  and  Esther,  beautifully  played  by  John 
Barrymore  and  Dolores  Costello.  The  flowering  of  their 
romance,  the  sweet  agony  of  their  partings  when  Ahab  goes 
to  sea,  the  anguish  caused  by  the  misunderstanding  that 
separates  the  lovers — are  some  of  the  most  poignant  mo- 
ments ever  pictured  on  the  screen. 

John  Barrymore  gives  his  usual  finished  performance. 
His  agony  is  almost  too  realistic  in  the  scene  wherein  the 
sailors  cauterize  the  bloody  stump  of  the  leg  torn  off  by  the 
sea  beast.  It's  too  gruesome  for  sensitive  souls.  And  later, 
too,  when  he  burns  the  tattooed  name  of  "Esther"  off  his  arm, 

Dolores  Costello's  beauty  is  a  delight  to  behold,  and  her 
acting  is  unbelievably  good  for  a  comparative  newcomer. 
The  scene  in  which  she  first  sees  the  havoc  wrought  upon  her 
lover  by  the  white  whale  reaches  artistic  heights  that  leave 
one  trembling.     And  the  scene  is  perfect  pictorially. 

Thrilling  moments  are  provided  in  the  sequences  wherein 
Ahab  drives  his  ship  through  the  waterspout  in  his  mad 
chase  for  vengeance  on  Moby  Dick,  the  whale;  and  again 
where  he  fights  to  the  death  his  villainous  brother. 

George  O'Hara  as  the  scheming  brother  performs  very  well 
and  looks  startlingly  like  John  Barrymore  in  many  scenes. 

Director  Millard  Webb  has  put  strength  and  beauty  into 
the  telling  of  his  tale.  A  slight  criticism  might  be  offered, 
however,  that  the  story  does  not  get  started  soon  enough. 


THE  AMERICAN  VENUS    Paramount 

THIS  picture  lias  all  the  clement-,  of  motion  picture  enter- 
tainment: an  interesting  story,  excellent  cast,  good  per- 
formances, able  direction  and  pictorial  beauty. 

It  is  the  much  heralded  picture  of  the  Atlantic  City 
beauty  pageant  of  last  year,  in  which  Miss  Fay  Lamphier 
won  the  title  of  "Miss  America." 

Miss  Lamphier  plays  a  part  in  the  film,  but  leaves  much 
to  be  desired  in  photographic  beauty.  She  won't  go  far, 
we  fear. 

Esther  Ralston  and  Lawrence  dray  arc  so  gooddooking 
and  full  of  pep  that  the  romance  of  the  story  romps  along  at 
a  very  gratifying  rate. 

The  story  is  generously  sprinkled  with  gags  that  are  re- 
freshingly simple  and  quite  funny.  Watch  Louise  Brooks, 
a  new  face.     That  gal's  there. 


THAT  ROYLE  GIRL— Paramount 

D.  W.  GRIFFITH  can't,  apparently,  make  a  poor  pic- 
ture. Even  when  he  slips  out  of  character  for  a 
moment  to  depict  swift  melodrama  with  jazz  and  younger 
generation,  he  does  it  pleasingly. 

Carol  Dempster  gives  a  performance  that  skyrockets  her 
into  any  ten  best  list  of  players  named  from  now  on. 

"That  Rovle  Girl"  presents  a  fresh  idea  on  the  screen — 
that  is,  that  a  girl  can  mean  different  things  to  different  men. 
Daisy  Royle  doesn't  love  the  jazz  orchestra  leader,  and  she 
certainly  is  not  a  bad  girl;  but  she  makes  the  very  feminine 
error  of  leading  a  man  on  and  then  trying  to  close  the  door 
in  his  face.  What  follows  is  highly  dramatic  and  interest- 
ing, with  the  keen  suspense  that  characterizes  all  Griffith's 
pictures.

JUST  SUPPOSE— First  National 

ANOTHER  story  of  a  mythical  kingdom — and  a  very 
light  affair  that  won't  tax  one's  brain  very  much.  All 
about  a  prince  who  falls  in  love  with  an  American  girl.  He 
is  about  to  propose  when  he  learns  he  has  become  heir  to  the 
throne.  A  rather  surprising  climax  is  introduced  and  the 
lovers  are  re-united.  Dick  Barthelmess  and  Lois  Moran 
are  the  adorable  couple. 


WOMANHANDLED—Paramoun  t 

GREGORY  LA  CAVA  has  taken  this  story — a  satire  on 
the  wild  and  woolly  West — and  developed  it  into  a  pic- 
ture that  has  a  subtle  and  captivating  charm.  One  gets  the 
idea  that  the  director  threw  caution  aside  and  made  the 
picture  just  for  fun.  And  if  you  accept  this  in  the  spirit  in 
which  it  is  offered,  you'll  get  an  evening  of  pure  enjoyment. 
Richard  Dix  is  most  ingratiating  as  the  would-be  he-man. 


BRAVEHEART— Producers  Dist.  Co. 

ROD  LA  ROCQUE'S  first  starring  vehicle— and  an  inter- 
esting one.  Again  Alan  Hale  has  hit  the  mark  with  his 
excellent  directorial  abilities.  This  is  a  very  romantic  affair 
of  an  Indian  who  loves  a  white  girl  and  shoulders  a  crime 
committed  by  her  brother.  He  sacrifices  her  love  because 
of  racial  difference.  Lillian  Rich  makes  a  charming  heroine 
and  is  ably  assisted  by  Robert  Edeson   and   Sally   Rand. 


THE  FIRST  YEAR— Fox 

TAKEN  from  the  stage  play  by  John  Golden,  this  de- 
lightful comedy  of  marital  bliss  is  worthy  of  an  evening's 
entertainment.  It's  all  about  the  continual  quarrelings  of  a 
newly-married  couple,  their  separation  and  then  the  making- 
up.  Many  of  the  incidents  depicted  are  bound  to  strike 
home.  Matt  Moore  as  a  bashful,  unassuming  chap  is 
amusing. 


TOO  MUCH  MONEY— First  National 

IT  is  rather  unusual  to  see  Lewis  Stone  going  in  for  the  slap- 
Stick  comedy.  He  does  in  this  and  he's  a  riot.  Some  of 
the  gags  are  old,  but  what's  the  difference  as  long  as  they 
amuse  one?  Stone  is  a  wealthy  married  man.  His  better- 
half,  Anna  Q.  Nilsson,  is  always  busy  with  social  functions, 
lie  decides  to  become  pour  so  that  he  can  have  her  for  him- 
self.     And  dial's  where  all  the  fun  conies  in. 

$6 


HANDS  UP— Paramount 

A  MILD  and  harmless  comedy  not  up  to  the  standard 
of  the  usual  Raymond  Griffith  comedies.  All  about  the 
adventures  of  a  Confederate  spy  who  tries  to  prevent  the 
North  from  receiving  gold.  He  almost  completes  his  mission 
when  peace  is  declared,  Raymond  Griffith's  goings  on  and 
dainty  Marion  Nixon  and  Virginia  Lee  Corbin  in  the  cast 
give  the  picture  its  chief  claim  to  your  attention. 


THE  ENCHANTED  HILL- Paramount 

A  TRITE  and  shop  worn  Western  story  made  interesting 
by  a  capable  cast  consisting  of  Jack  Holt,  Florence 
Vidor,  Noah  Beery  and  George  Bancroft,  lrvin  Will. it,  the 
director,  has  handled  this  with  a  certain  freshness  thai  tends 
to  rescue  this  from  the  usual  run  of  Westerns.  '  lis  the  same 
oM  story  of  the  heroine  believing  the  stories  the  villain  tells 
about  the  hero     and  you  know  all  heroes  are  spotless. 


/\/    177    WVOV     nisi  \atitmal 

CORINNE  GRI1  I  I  I  II  dazzles  as  the  ravishing  heroine 
in  this  heavy,  slow  moving  version  of  the  stage  play  by 
Somerset  Maugham.  The  only  thing  worth  whih  about  the 
picture  is  Corinne's  loveliness  as  she  begins  to  accept  the 
attentions  of  her  husband's  secretary.  After  an  uncertain 
romance,  she  realizes  her  love  for  her  husband.  Percy  Mar- 
mont  and  Malcolm  McGregor  complete  the  triangle. 


MIKE—Metro-Goldwyn 

WRITTEN  and  directed  by  Marshall  Neilan— if  that 
means  anything.  The  picture  is  amusing  in  spots  and 
especially  those  spots  diverted  to  Charlie  Murray  and  Ford 
Sterling,  who  give  excellent  performances  as  the  town 
inebriates.  Outside  these  two  favorites — it's  dull.  This 
production  has  been  on  the  shelf  for  a  number  of  months  and 
it  could  have  been  left  there  as  far  as  we're  concerned. 


THE  OUTSIDER— Fox 

AN  intriguing  story  of  a  healer  who  has  the  physicians  in 
London  puzzled.  A  famous  dancer,  daughter  of  a  phy- 
sician, is  hurt  while  dancing  and  a  consultation  reveals  her 
to  be  a  cripple  for  life.  The  famous  healer  begs  audience 
with  her  and  she  places  herself  under  his  care.  You  know 
the  rest.  Jacqueline  Logan  is  excellent.  Lou  Tellegen  and 
Walter  Pidgcon  are  in  the  cast.    Good  entertainment. 


SOULMATES—Metro-Goldwyn 

THIS  is  the  production  that  is  supposed  to  have  been 
written  by  Elinor  Glyn.  but  according  to  the  lady's  story 
it  was  re-hashed  by  Carey  Wilson.  We  don't  know  whom  to 
blame,  for  this  is  the  silliest  and  most  uninteresting  picture 
seen  in  some  time.  Edmund  Lowe  essays  a  giddy  role  that  is 
irritating,  and  Aileen  Pringle  assumes  a  cold  attitude  un- 
becoming to  her.     Not  worth  while. 


THE  SONG  AND  DANCE  MAN— Paramount 

THE  film  version  of  this  famous  George  M.  Cohan  comedy 
is  not  about  the  Song  and  Dance  Wan.  It's  about 
Bessie  Love  and  her  talented  Charleston  legs.  She  tucks 
the  picture  in  her  vanity  case  and  walks  away  with  it.  Tom 
Moore  gives  an  uninspired  performance.  The  motivation 
of  the  screen  play  is  very  weak  and  the  continuity  jerky

It  Isn't  Sex — It's  Good  Pictures" 


Says  Elinor

Ivan 
Johns 


"First  of  all,  to  succeed,

judgment.    "It  all  depends  on 
the  treatment"

artists  in  por- 

and    woman 

screen,"  she 


I'VE  been  hearing  on  every  side  that  the  flappers  were  going 
to  the  dogs  and  the  whole  country  was  sex  crazy,  and  what 
was  going  to  be  done  about  jazz  and  the  Charleston,  and 
look  at  the  things  people  talk  about  that  were  never  men- 
tioned in  public  before,  and  now  look  what's  happened.  In  the 
first  twenty  pictures  that  the  most  folks  paid  real  money  to  see 
last  year,  there  isn't  one  of  the  species  that  we  usually  term  a 
sex  picture. 

Said  I  to  myself,  "How  come?"  When  I  couldn't  answer  it. 
I  naturally  sought  out  Elinor  Glyn.  Wouldn't  you?  Besides, 
being  a  great  writer  and  one  of  the  most  interesting  women  in 
Hollywood,  she  is  the  final  authority  on  celluloid  sex — the  in- 
flammable kind. 

The  way  I  Felt  about  it  was  this.  Critics  may  come,  critics 
may  go,  and  the  circle  around  t he  famous  table  at  the  Algonquin 
may  shift  its  weight  and  change  its  complexion,  but  the  box 
office  goes  on  forever. 

That's  the  real  answer  to  what  kind  of  pictures  people  want  — 
the  verdict  of  the  box  office,  telling  us  what  pictures  the  most 
people  have  paid  to  look  at,  is  the  one  real,  impersonal,  un- 
biased, cross-section  judgment  we  have. 

"What's  the  matter  with  sex  in  the  box  office?"  said  I  to 
Madame  Glyn. 

"Sex,"  said  Madame  Glyn,  in  that  exquisite,  well  bred  voice, 
"has  nothing  to  do  with  it." 

"I  thought  sex  had  something  to  do  with  everything — the 
one  thing  thai  is  universal,  and  all  that."  ventured  1. 

Madame  Glyn  looked  at  me  with  a  wise  and  humorous  smile. 
I  do  not  know  whether  you  have  ever  been  spoken  to  by  an 
oracle.     Personally,  I  must  admit  that  1  never  have.     But  if  I 

58 


ever  am,  I  know  it  will  be  exactly  the  way  Elinor  Glyn  does  it. 
I  don't  know  how  she  convinces  you  that  every  word  that  falls 
from  her  lips  is  the  truth,  but  she  does.  Some  people  call  it 
showmanship.  But  I  think  it  is  more  than  that.  I  think  it  is 
conviction. 

"Pictures,"  said  Elinor  Glyn,  "are  either  good  or  bad.  If 
they  are  good  sex  pictures,  they  will  succeed.  If  they  are  bad 
sex  pictures,  they  will  fail.  What  could  be  more  simple?  Be- 
cause a  play  has  sex  in  it,  is  perhaps  crammed  with  vulgar  and 
stupidly  done  love  scenes,  can  it  succeed?  Xo.  Always  you 
must  look  to  the  merit  of  the  picture  itself.  Just  as  there  are 
good  comedies  and  bad  comedies  and  good  Westerns,  as  you 
say.  and  bad  Westerns,  so  it  is  with  sex  plays.  If  a  picture 
which  is  called  a  comedy  is  not  amusing,  it  will  fail;  if  a  picture 
about  sex  is  not  real  and  romantic  and  does  not  stir  the  pulses, 
it  will  fail,  on  exactly  the  same  basis. 

"Charlie  Chaplin's  'A  Woman  of  Paris.'  and  the  Lubitsch 
school  of  pictures  have  brought  about  a  great  transformation. 
I'p  to  the  time  of  "A  Woman  of  Paris'  sex  pictures  were  in  the 
same  stage  that  the  stage  drama  was  when  they  used  asides. 
Do  you  remember?  The  characters  stopped  the  action  of  the 
play  in  the  most  crude  and  unrealistic  fashion  to  explain  to  the 
poor,  dear  audience  what  their  thoughts  were.  During  a  con- 
versation, the  leading  man  would  suddenly  turn  to  the  audience 
and  say,  'How  I  loathe  this  man.  He  is  a  villain  of  the  deepest 
sort.'  Doesn't  it  seem  odd  to  think  of.  now?  But  then  the 
Barrymores  and  artists  of  that  kind  came  along  who  wanted  to 
show  life  on  the  stage,  to  play  real  people  as  they  are.  and  they 
inspired  and  led  the  way  to  make  plays  as  nearly  slices  of  life 
as  they  could.  [  coxtimtd  on  page  145  ]

The  Enigma  of  the  Screen 


What  does  the  future 
hold  for  Lillian  Gish? 

By  James  %  Quirk 


NUMEROUS  actresses  of 
sirenic  charm  and  In- 
scrutable pasts  have  been 
paraded  from  time  to 
time  as  "enigmas,"  but  the  real 
enigma  of  the  motion  picture  con- 
Btellation  is  Lillian  Gish.  And  the 
most  baffling  question  of  the  hour 
is.  What  of  her  future? 

Miss  Clish  is  a  screen  pioneer, 
Commencing  her  <  areer  with  Mary 
Pickford,  Mabel  Normand  and 
the  Talmadges,  yet  she  has  never 
become  definitely  established  in  a 
place  of  public  favor. 

We  can  estimate  the  popularity 
of  Gloria  Swanson,  of  Mary  Pick- 
ford,  of  Norma  Talmadge  and 
Pola  Negri  almost  to  the  decimal 
point.  But  Miss  Gish 's  remains  a 
problem. 

She  has  given  great  perform- 
ances in  great  pictures,  and  yet 
curiously  we  regard  each  new  en- 
deavor as  a  test  of  her.  She  ap- 
pears a  wraith  hovering  on  the 
borderland  between  oblivion  and 
reality,  a  mystical  creation  whose 
power  hypnotizes  us  momentarily 
and  then  leaves  us  wondering  if 
it  is  not  an  illusion. 

HOW  much  of  this  fragile  crys- 
tal figure  has  been  created 
about  Miss  Gish  by  the  Griffith 
tradition,  so  skillfully  and  de- 
liberately worked? 

I  recently  attended  a  dinner 
where  a  light  wine  was  served. 
No  one  remarked  its  flavor  until 
the  hostess  observed  that  it  was 
forty  years  old  and  came  from  the 
cellars  of  a  Russian  palace.  Im- 
mediately there  were  ecstatic  ex- 
clamations as  to  its  bouquet,  its 
rare  flavor  and  the  mystic  gold  of 
its  color. 

Stars  in  motion  pictures  seldom 
succeed  alone.  Behind  them  you 
invariably  find  certain  guiding 
geniuses  who  infuse  them  with  the 
power  of  their  own  genius.  Is 
Miss  Gish  a  genius  or  is  she  but 
the  worthv  student  of  the  magic 
Griffith? 

An  electrician  watching  her  at 
work  one  day  suddenly  exclaimed 
"That  girl  ain't  an  actress — she's 
a  mechanic." 

He  could  give  no  explanation 
for  his  observation  aside  from  a 
mumbled,  "She  knows  her  stuff." 
Examining  Miss  Gish's  char- 
acterizations you  find  that  she 
achieves  greatness  of  effect  through 
a  single  phase  of  emotion — name- 


Miss  Gish  in  "Romola"  was  not  as  big  as 
her  reputation.  But  "La  Boheme"  may 
prove  her  a  great  actress  in  her  own   right 


Is  she  a  Genius  or 
Mechanic? 


I\ .  In  stei  i.i.     \ 1 1 < I  she  I

pends  entirel)  on  i hj  ihm        the 
gradual  quickening  "i  movement 
up  io  the  point  desired." 

In  other  words,  it  is  a  phj 
lashing  into  frenzy.     Everj 
tress  of  tlie  Griffith  school  hi 
ployed   it,    Miss   dish   more  skill- 
fully   than    the   rest.      And   it    has 
been   for  each  of   them   the   most 
effective  gesture,      but   it   could 
not  have  been  without  Griffith's 
skill  in  contriving  a  situation  for 
it. 

Mr.  Griffith  has  said  that  the 
greatest  screen  climax  is  not  at- 
tained through  the  actors  but 
through  the  forces  of  nature.  Miss 
Gish  is  always  the  helpless,  tossed 
victim  of  a  stormy  fate,  an  over- 
whelming brutal  destiny. 

Her  performances  are  not  re- 
membered for  polished,  sym- 
phonic continuity  but  for  piercing 
moments  of  crescendo  where  emo- 
tion was  expressed  in  physical 
terms  of  hysteria  verging  on  mad- 
ness. 

IT  has  been  said  that  great  parts 
make  great  actors.  Great  situ- 
ations have  made  Miss  Gish.  She 
depends  more  on  material  than 
any  actress  of  the  screen. 

Gloria  Swanson  can  toss  colored 
tritles  in  the  air,  play  with  them 
as  with  balloons  and  entertain 
solely  by  the  charm  of  her  ges- 
tures as  a  literary  stylist  charms 
with  his  play  of  words.  Charlie 
Chaplin  extracts  the  most  inter- 
esting moments  from  trivialities. 
Pola  Negri  is  not  remembered  for 
any  single  moment  but,  on  the 
contrary,  for  the  infinite  variety 
of  her  moods. 

Lillian  Gish  has  been  termed 
the  Duse  of  the  screen,  and  yet 
she  is  utterly  unlike  Duse  in 
method.  The  Italian  genius  was 
so  quiet  in  her  naturalness  as  to 
appear  repressed,  so  highly  sensi- 
tized that  she  responded  poign- 
antly to  every  mood  and  situa- 
tion, as  delicately  and  mysterious- 
ly attuned  as  a  radio  instrument. 

Miss   Gish   thus  far  has   been

Providing  Yourself  with   the 


■ 


The  fifth  of  a  series 
on  how  to  use  the 
motion  picture  to 
suggest  furnishings 
in  your  home 


If  you  would  be  gay  and  feminine,  look 
to  the  French  for  your  inspiration. 
Furniture  with  curving  lines,  extreme 
daintiness  and  delicate  colors  are  nec- 
essary in  achieving  the  correct  effect 


PROPERLY,  a  period  room  should  be 
builded  into  a  house.  If  your  house 
is  already  builded,  however,  and  you 
still  desire  period  rooms,  do  not  de- 
spair. You  can  have  them  if  you  will  shop 
with  sufficient  care. 

That  is  one  of  the  fine  things  about 
"period"  furniture.  It  can  be  shopped  for 
as  leisurely  as  your  time  and  pocketbook 
demand.  It  isn't  like  modern  furniture 
that  comes  in  sets  and  demands  being  pur- 
chased in  units  of  three  or  five  pieces. 
Acquired  in  this  careful  way,  it  brings  to 
such  furnishings  a  charm  almost  impossible 
to  possess  otherwise. 

Select  the  period  that  suits  yourself. 
Any  other  course  is  disaster,  or  a  home 
which  looks  like  a  dead  philanthropist's  gift 
to  mankind. 

Furthermore,  choose  a  period  that  is  in 
the  present  mode.  With  the  furniture  of 
four  centuries  and  several  countries  to  select 
from,  there  is  such  a  thing  as  style  to  be 
considered.  Don't  just  dec  ide  to  go  Spanish  or  early  English  or 
late  Normandy  without  first  considering  the  fashions  involved. 

Likewise  consider  your  purse. 

The  older  a  piece  of  furniture,  the  higher  its  price.  There  are 
one  or  two  dealers  in  this  country  who  actually  have  furniture 
that  lias  come  down,  more  or  less  intact,  from  the  Middle  Ages. 
The  prices  on  these  pieces,  however,  are  worth  an  automobile 
manufacturer's  ransom.  Most  of  the  genuine  antique  pieces  we 
have  today  are  survivals  of  (lie  Renaissance  periods  in  Italy, 
Spain  and  England, 

Yet  antiques,  that  can  he  proven  genuine,  have  this  advan- 
tage —every  year  increases  their  value.  New.  modern  furni- 
ture after  a  few  seasons1  knocking  about  is  practically  valueless 
no  matter  what  the  initial  COSl  may  have  been.  With  antique 
furniture  every  knock  is  a  boost. 

At  the  moment  (lie  most  popular  "  period  styles"  in  American 
home  furnishings  are  the  Spanish  and  Italian  modes  of  the 
sixteenth,  seventeenth  and  eighteenth  centuries  and  the  early 
American,  dating  back  to  the  first  set  tiers  of  this  country. 
I  am  not  here  touching  upon  the  early  American  furnishings,  as 


An  Italian  room,  however,  is  more  modish.     The  charm,  intimacy 

and  quaintness  here  created  by  Cedric  Gibbons  for  "The  White 

Sister"  could  be  recreated  easilv  in  an  American  home 


I  wish  to  take  them  up  as  a  separate  article  at  some  later  date, 
the  whole  vogue  being  worthy  of  as  much  space  as  it  can 
possibly  lie  given. 

Instead  I  am  showing  four  rooms,  one  Italian,  one  Spanish, 
one  English  and  one  French,  furnished  in  pieces  of  the  same 
relative  period  in  each  country. 

Now  for  the  relationship  between  the  architectural  back- 
ground, the  personality,  and  the  period  chosen. 

A  decade  a,uro  the  smart  town  house  was  furnished  in  some 
selection  from  the  French  cabinetmaker's  stock.  The  furniture 
was  light  and  frivolous,  gilded  generally,  and  set  against  a 
bright  colored  wall  paper  and  pink  taffeta  hangings.  If  a  few 
fat  ("upids  could  be  worked  in  somewhere,  everybody  liked 
that,  too.  During  the  same  period  women  wore  lots  of  hair 
and  lots  of  dress  goods,  while  their  men  went  in  for  wide  waist- 
lines and  heavy  cigars. 

Today  when  our  minds,  according  to  the  people  of  that 
decade,  are  much  more  frivolous,  we  are  going  in  for  furniture 
much  more  substantial  and  simple.  That  in  its  turn  is  a 
reflection  of  our  increasing  architectural  simplicity.    The  Amer-

The  Spanish  periods  are 
the  smartest  home  fur- 
nishings today.  Plain 
walls,    plain    floors,    lavish 

color,    sturdy     furniture, 

those  arc  Spanish.  In  at- 
mosphere, they  arc  the 
exact  antithesis  of  the 
French.  From  "The 
Sainted  Devil" 


ican  town  house  that  had  French  drawing  rooms  was  burdened 
down  with  cupolas,  wide,  roofed  porches  and  pillars  on  the  out- 
side and  trick  archways,  elaborate  carving,  cosy  corners  and 
whatnots  on  the  inside.  Today  our  homes,  inside  and  out,  are 
as  beautifully  plain  as  the  architects  can  make  them,  relying 
entirely  upon  line,  vista  and  materials  employed  for  the  rich- 
ness of  the  effect  they  produce.  Today  when  we  don't  stay  in 
our  homes  half  the  time,  they  are  more  luxuriously  comfortable 
than  ever  before. 

Italian,  English  and  Spanish 
furnishings  of  almost  any  period 
have  the  simplicity  and  quietness 
of  line  that  the  present  day  Ameri- 
can woman  is  demanding  in  her 
clothes  fashions  and  her  hair  cut. 
Hence  the  vogue  for  them  and 
their  "  Tightness  "  as  a  present  day 
setting. 

The  Spanish  vogue,  particu- 
larly, is  spreading  rapidly  among 
us.  It  started  in  California  where 
so  much  of  the  early  Spanish 
architecture  endured.  It  is  now 
dominating  the  Florida  real  estate 


THIS  series  of  articles  on  home  fur- 
nishing is  designed  to  enable 
American  home  managers  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  the  experience  and  ability 
of  our  greatest  authorities  on  home 
decoration.

furnishings"  mean 


development,  being  so  ideally  suited  to  that  locality  and 
climate.  These  things  being  true,  I  must  caution  the 
woman  who  attempts  to  purchase  Spanish  antiques. 
The  market  is  being  flooded  with  them,  and  far  more 
Hooded  with  fakes.  You  do  not  have  to  furnish  a 
period  room  in  genuine  old  pieces,  but  it  is  always  better 
so.  Don't  buy  a  modern  reproduction  at  the  price  of 
the  real  thing,  and  unless  you  are  very,  very  careful  that 
is  exactly  what  you  will  do.  The  reproductions  that  are 
being  put  out  as  antiques  are  very  skillful.  I  would 
advise  that  either  you  decide  to  furnish  entirely  in 
reproductions  of  the  original  furniture,  pieces  made 
after  old  Spanish  styles  by  modern  craftsmen,  or  never 
buy  a  piece  at  any  price  unless  accompanied  by  an 
expert  or  purchased  of  a  dealer  in  whose  integrity  you 
have  absolute  faith. 

A  Spanish  room  correctly  in  period,  as  the  bedroom 
at  the  left  illustrates,  should  have  plain  plaster  walls, 
a  wide  board  or  tiled  floor,  deep  set  windows  and  door- 
ways, and  where  possible  a  beamed  ceiling. 
To  be  right,  hangings  should  not  be  used  at  the  windows,  but 
color  brought  into  the  room  by  the  use  of  fabrics  as  furniture 
coverings  or  hung  against  the  walls.  In  this  case  the  16th 
century  bed  is  covered  with  a  piece  of  antique  damask  in  red 
and  gold.  The  chairs  are  upholstered  in  blue  velvet  with  old 
gold  galoon  fringe  and  the  rug  combines  red,  blue  and  gold 
faded  through  centuries  of  sunlight  into  a  beautiful  color 
combination.    The  fixtures,  modern,  electric  light  sconces,  are 

in  wrought  iron  which  is  correct 
to  the  period.  The  carved  chest 
of  drawers  and  the  small  carved 
lectern,  or  reading  stand  on  top, 
are  two  rare  Spanish  pieces.  Inci- 
dentally, they  are  now  owned  by 
Natacha  Rambova,  who  pur- 
chased ''  ^m  from  our  studio  after 
seeing  ti«.m  in  this  setting. 

Across  the  page,  the  Italian 
room  illustrates  the  small  but 
marked  difference  between  that 
country's  furnishings  and  the 
Spanish.  The  real  Italian  room 
always  has  a  stone  or  tile  floor.

What  Do 
You  Think? 


Get  Away  With  It? 


D 


ICK  BARTHELMESS  tried  it- 
land  failed. 

Wallv    Rcid  used   to  beg  for  a 
chance,  but  they  would  never  give 
it  to  him. 

Will  Jack  Gilbert  be  able  to  get  away 
with  it? 

Can  any  screen  star  play  every  role  that 
comes  along,  as  long  as  it's  a  great  acting 
part  and  makes  a  good  picture,  and  retain 
the  love  of  his  public? 

It  has  long  been  a  tradition  in  the  motion 
picture  industry,  and  to  some  extent  upon 
the  stage,  that  the  public  likes  its  heroes  to 
be  heroes,  and  that  the  ladies  like  their 
matinee  idols  to  be  matinee  idols,  if  you 
know  what  I  mean. 

Tradition  has  it  that  a  man  who 
has  made  a  hit  doing  one  sort  of 
thing — as  the  almost-late  Mr. 
Valentino  did — must  stick  to  that 
one  thing.  That  if  he  be  a  suave 
and  dashing  villain,  he  must  have 
a  heart  of  gold,  or  a  few  real  tears 
in  his  system,  after  Bill  Hart's 
famous  formula.  But  those  whose 
conferences  behind  the  screen  de- 
termine the  fate  of  all  things, 
stars  and  stories  alike,  have  agreed 
solidly  that  he  cannot  be  just  a 
human  being. 

Handsome  young  actors  making 
a  bid  for  fame  and  favor  have  al- 
ways fought  shy  of  any  role  that 
forced  them  to  disguise  their 
manly  beauty.  Established  stars 
debate  and  ponder  as  to  whether 
they  dare  play  an  unsympathetic 
role,  or  a  role  that  has  ugly  and 
heavy  moments,  and  always  ar- 
rive at  a  negative  decision. 


IN  "The  Enchanted  Cottage" 
Richard  Barthelmess  created  a 
screen  masterpiece,  a  delicate 
jewel  of  sentiment  and  romance. 
But  in  it  he  played  a  boy  crippled 
by  the  war,  and  his  public  turned 
thumbs  down  at  the  box  office, 
though  critics  labeled  it  the  best 
Barthelmess  picture. 

I  remember  how  Wally  Reid — 
who  read  almost  everything  ever 
written — used  to  be  always  dig- 
ging up  some  great  screen  story 
and  dashing  into  the  office  with  it 
under  his  arm,  begging  for  a 
chance  to  make  it.  But  usually 
the  starring  role  was  a  character, 
or  a  heavy,  or  had  a  beard,  since 
Walk's  great  ambition  was  to 
play  some  big  role  and  succeed 
without  relying  on  his  looks.  In- 
evitably, the  powers  that  be  gave 
him  a  pitying  little  smile. 

Jack  Barrymore  has  not  to  date 
become  a  real  screen  favorite. 
Not  by  any  means  in  proportion  to 
his  achievement  on  the  stage.  And 


T>  ISING  stars  usually 
talk  of  the  great 
characterizations  they 
are  going  to  create — and 
then  never  do.  Jack 
Gilbert  believes  he  can 
be  an  artist  doing  varied 
roles  and  remain  popu- 
lar. Which  Ivan  St. 
Johns  doubts,  and  here 
tells  you  why 


The  Judgment  of  Paris 


Just  like  two  women,  Nita  Naldi  and 
Gertrude  Olmsted  insisted  that  Rudy 
choose  which  of  them  was  the  more 
beautiful  and  award  her  the  golden  apple 
after  the  style  of  Paris,  Venus'  boy  friend. 
Business  of   pondering  on   Rudy's  part 


But  any  sheik  worth  his  price  never  lets 
his  right  hand  know  what  his  left  holds. 
And  Rudy's  other  hand  had  an  apple  in 
it,  too!  So  he  gave  one  to  each  of  the 
girls,  thus  not  getting  Gertie's  goat  or 
Nita's  nanny! 


in  the  industry  they  credit  it  largely  to  the 
fact  that  Barrymore  has  the  say  about  his 
stories  and  insists  on  making  such  parts  as 
Beau  Brum  met  and  Jekyll  and  Hyde.  He 
loves  to  play  with  make-up. 

Thus  has  grown  up  a  pretty  thoroughly 
established  rule  that  a  hero  must  be  heroic 
and  a  matinee  idol  must  be  attractive  and 
handsome  at  all  times,  if  he  is  to  be  a  really 
big  star.  (Comedians  excepted,  of  course.) 
Now  comes  one  Jack  Gilbert,  at  present 
set  ting  a  hot  pace  for  all  males  on  the  screen, 
a  riot  in  the  box  office,  a  favorite  with  the 
critics,  a  leading  matinee  idol  of  the  day, 
and  simply  busts  said  traditions  all  to 
smithereens. 

Jack  is  first,  last,  and  all  the  time,  an 
actor.  He  makes  his  bid  with  the 
public  upon  that  one  ground — 
that  he  can  act. 

Dire  disaster  has  been  pre- 
dicted for  him  on  occasion  after 
occasion. 


T  REMEMBER  perfectly  well 
-L  hearing  no  end  of  people  who  are 
supposed  to  know  about  these 
things  state  emphatically  that  Jack 
Gilbert  would  never  survive  "  The 
Snob."  They  even  pleaded  with 
him  not  to  play  it.  "You  can't 
get  away  with  it.  Jack,"  they  said. 
"They  won't  stand  for  it.  The 
man's  a  cad.  Listen  to  me,  my 
boy.  I'm  older  than  you  and  I 
know." 

"But  it's  a  great  acting  part." 
said  Jack,  with  that  dark,  puzzled

"Ah.  acting,  yes.  But  they'll 
never  forgive  you  for  playing  such 
a  man." 

One  other  leading  man  on  the 
lot  absolutely  refused  to  play  it, 
though  he  was  first  choice.  In 
fact.  1  think  two  of  them  refused. 

But  Jack  Gilbert  played  it.  and 
gave  a  marvelous  performance, 
that  glittered  like  a  diamond. 

Ami  he  did  survive  it.  There 
can  be  no  question  about  that. 

Then  there  was  "The  Merry 
Widow." 

Von  Stroheim  made  Jack  cut 
his  hair — cut  is  really  too  mild  a 
word — for  the  part  of  Prince 
Danilo.  And  the  wise  boys  rushed 
Jack  again.  They  implored  him 
not  to  do  it. 

"  Hut  I  have  to."  said  Jack.  "It 
would  be  out  of  character  if  I 
didn't." 

"Then  don't  play  it."  cried  the 
gang.  "The  public'll  never  stand 
for  you  with  your  head  shaved 
like  that." 

But  Jack  only  grinned.

MISS  MARJORIE  OELRICHS 

SPEAKS  FOR  NEW  YORK'S   BRILLIANT  YOUNGER  SET 


<H.Her  ideas  on  Clothes,  Parties 
and  Complexions 

"Everything  a  girl  does  today — even  the 
,  simple  chic  lines  of  her  clothes  and  the 
way  she  wears  her  hair — demands  a  flaw- 
less complexion. 

"Yet  the  hectic  whirl  of  dances  and 
the  formal  functions  she  attends,  and  the 
sports  she  sandwiches  in  between,  con- 
spire to  ruin  the  most  velvety  skin! 

"And  they  would  —  but  for  Pond's 
Two  Creams,  which  come  to  the  rescue 
keeping  her  complexion  just  as  lovely  as 
it  was  when  she  was  in  her  earlv  'teens! 
So  it  isn't  strange  that  Pond's  is  the 
method  I  follow  to  guard  the  freshness 
of  my  skin." 

SO  says  Miss  Marjorie  Oelrichs  now  in  her 
second  season  in  the  brilliant  social  life 
of  New  York's  younger  set.  To  dinners, 
dances  and  sports,  at  Palm  Beach  and  New- 
port as  well  as  in  town,  Miss  Oelrichs  adds  a 
serious  interest  in  art  which  takes  her  to  a 
drawing  class  every  morning  during  the  New 
York  season.     And   she  and   her   beautiful 


mother,  Mrs.  Marjorie  Oelrichs,  arc  always 
dashing  across  the  water  for  a  few  weeks  in 
Paris. 

This  life  of  parties,  work  and  travel  might 
tax  the  freshness  of  her  skin,  glowing  with 
youth  and  loveliness  and  that  golden  tint  of 
the  honey-colored  blond,  were  it  not  for  the 
following  wise  care  she  gives  it  every  day: 

Every  single  day  she  cleanses  her  skin  with 
Pond's  Cold  Cream.  Always  at  night,  and  al- 
ways, too  on  returning  from  an  outing,  she 
pats  it  over  the  skin  of  her  face,  throat,  arms 
and  hands  — letting  it  stay  on  long  enough  for 
its  pure  oils  to  seep  dbwn  into  the  pores  and 

bring  to 
the  surface 
all  the  dust 


The  Two  Creams  the  younger  set  is  using 


and  dirt  which  clog  them.  She  wipes  off  all 
the  cream  and  dirt,  and  repeats  the  process, 
finishing  with  a  dash  of  cold  water. 

Over  her  newly  cleansed  skin,  before  she  pow- 
ders, she  smooths  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream. 
Light  as  thistledown  it  gives  her  skin  a  damask 
smoothness  over  which  her  powder  goes  beau- 
tifully and  stays  long.  This  thin  veil  of  Van- 
ishing Cream,  moreover,  guards  her  face  from 
drying,  chapping  and  burning  from  sun,  cold 
and  wind,  and  her  hands  from  chapping.  So 
she  always  uses  it  before  going  out. 

When  you  buy  Pond's  Creams  to  give  your 
own  skin  this  perfect  protection,  this  freshening 
and  finish,  ask  for  the  big  generous  jar  of  the 
Cold  Cream.  Both  Creams  come  in  two 
smaller  sizes  of  jars  and  in  tubes.

Life's  Different 


They  banished  constipation,  corrected  skin 
and  stomach  disorders , found  wonderful  new 
energy — throng/;  one  simple  food 


NOT  a  "cure-all,"  not  a  medicine  in 
any  sense—  Fleischmann's  Yeast 
is  simply  a  remarkable  fresh  food. 

The  millions  of  tiny  active  yeast  plants 
in  every  cake  invigorate  the  whole  sys- 
tem. They  aid  digestion — clear  the  skin 
— banish  the  poisons  of  constipation. 
Where  cathartics  give  onlv  temporary 
relief,  yeast  strengthens  the  intestinal 
muscles  and  makes  them  healthy  and 
active.  And  day  by  day  it  releases  new 
stores  of  energy. 

Eat  two  or  three  cakes  regularly  every  day 
before  meals:  on  crackers^in  fruit  juices, 
a-ater  or  milk — or  just  plain,  nibbled  from 
the  cake.  For  constipation  especially,  dissolve 
tne  cake  in  hot  water  (not  scalding)  before 
heak/ast  and  at  bedtime.  Buy  several  cakes 
at  a  time — they  will  keep  fresh  in  a  cool  dry 
place  for  two  or  three  days.  All  grocers  have 
Fleischmann's  Yeast.   Start  eating  it  today! 

And  let  us  send  you  a  tree  copy  of  our  lat- 
est booklet  on  Yeast  for  Health.  Health  Re-

"DUE  TO  THE  STRENUOUS  DE- 
MANDS that  my  life  as  a  dancer  makes 
on  me,  I  found  myself  very  run-down.  I 
was  so  very  tired  that  I  could  not  assimi- 
late food.  A  friend  suggested  Fleisch- 
mann's Yeast,  so  I  decided  to  try  it.  In 
three  weeks  my  digestion  had  improved 
remarkably.  In  six  weeks  I  was  as  good 
as  new." 

Cecile  D'Andrea,  Yonkcrs,  X.  Y. 

"BEING  A  PROFESSIONAL  PUGIL- 
IST I  was  forced  to  temporary  retirement 
owing  to  stomach  trouble.  A  friend  of 
mine  advised  Fleischmann's  Yeast.  I  ate 
two  cakes  a  day.  After  one  month  I  was 
able  to  start  training  for  my  coming  fight. 
To  date  my  stomach  trouble  is  a  thing  of 
the  past." 
Joseph  Governale,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 


THIS  FAMOUS  FOOD  tones  up  the  entire  system— aids 
digestion — clears  the  skin  —  banishes  constipation.  Eat 
two  or  three  cakes  regularly  every  day. 

"I  AM  A  GRADUATE  NURSE.  Necessarily  eating  all 
sorts  of  food,  I  became  very  constipated.  I  would  not  take 
cathartics  knowing  the  dangers  of  their  continued  use.  I  tried 
Fleischmann's  Yeast.  In  a  very  short  time  my  constipation 
was  gone.  Now  all  my  friends  greet  me  with  the  remark, 
'How  well  you  look'."

Confessions  of    &**1*'* 

a  Movie  Critic 


Rose  Pelswick 


TART  II 

Celebrities  Who  Have  Met   Me 

CVNOPSIS  of  preceding  chapter: 
^Having  taken  my  bow,  I  broke 
down  and  told  ALL  about  the  life, 
habits  and  duties,  if  any,  of  the  movie 
critic.  Daring  details,  assimilated 
through  years  of  studious  observation, 
were  discussed,  and  I  ended  with  the 
promise  to  continue  keeping  faith  with 
my  public.  Now  go  on  with  these 
revelations. 


I  ONCE  heard  that  most  actors  arc  the  same  off-screen  as 
they  arc  on.  And  I  have  found,  alas,  that  that  is  often  too 
true. 

1  hesitate  before  making  the  following  confessions.  They 
may  contradict  certain  ideas  you  may  have  accumulated  on  the 
subject.  It  may  be,  of  course,  that  the  fault  lies  with  me.  But 
I  am  willing  to  go  on  record  as  saying  that  when  1  come  near 
the  hotel  sheltering  sonic  celluloid  celebrity,  1  do  not  instantly 
become  attacked  with  a  sinking  feeling  and  an  inferiority  com- 
plex. And,  contrary  to  published  paeons,  when  1  approach  the 
room  clerk  and  tell  him  who  I  am,  his  look  is  one  of  bored  in- 
difference rather  than  one  of  wonder,  envy  and  awe. 

When  1  am  ushered  into  the  sometimes  not  so  luxurious 
suite,  I  do  not  tremble  or  otherwise  show  painful  perturbation. 
When  Carlotta  Russc  sweeps  into  the  room.  1  do  not  gasp  in 

70 


astonishment,  and  become  conscious  of  the  fact  that  my  hair  is 
blowing,  my  hat  is  on  crooked,  or  my  nose  is  shiny.  And  when 
I  sit  and  watch  her  remarkable  poise.  I  do  not  have  the  feeling 
of  gazing  upon  the  Mona  Lisa  in  the  Louvre.  Possibly,  of 
course,  because  I  never  was  in  the  Louvre. 

When  Rudolph  Fricasse  helps  me  into  my  chair  at  the  Ritz, 
and  asks  me  what  I  will  have — do  I  lower  my  eyes  in  rapt  con- 
fusion, mumble  a  few  innocuous  words,  and  sigh  content, 
merely  to  have  him  gaze  at  me  with  those  liquid  eyes  and  that 
maddening  marcel?  I  do  not.  I  start  in  with  a  blue-point 
cocktail,  and  play  the  left  hand  side  of  the  menu  straight 
through  the  tomato  bouillon,  sirloin  steak  with  mushrooms, 
braised  sweet  potatoes,  lettuce  salad  with  Roquefort  dressing, 
pastry  and  coffee. 

Interviews  are  always  associated  with  lunch.  The  other  day 
I  was  talking  to  Camille  Delight  in  a  famous  restaurant,  over- 
looking whatever  it  is  that  one  has  to  overlook  in  that  kind  of 
a  restaurant. 

Camille  has  devastating  dimples,  eyelashes  and  ankles.  A 
famous  painter  once  said  about  her  what  famous  painters 
"always  say  about  a  beautiful  woman. 

Suddenly  her  face  grew  serious. 

"Do  you  know."  she  asked  wistfully,  "what  I  would  really 
like  to  do?" 

I  bit.  Whenever  someone  takes  you  to  lunch,  you  always 
bite.     I  mean — well,  let  it  go. 

"  I  would  like."  said  Cam  -all  her  friends  call  her  Gam— "to 
play  Juliet.     Perhaps  Lady  Macbeth.     I  want  to  do  something

You,  yourself,  rarely  know 
when  you  have  halitosis  (un- 
pleasant breath).  That's  the 
insidious  thing  about  it.  And 
even  your  closest  friends  won't 
tell  you. 

Sometimes,  of  course,  halito- 
sis comes  from  some  deep-seated 
organic  disorder  that  requires 
professional  advice.  But  usu- 
ally— and  fortunate  ly — halito- 
sis is  only  a  local  condition  that 
yields  to  the  regular  use  of  Lis- 
terine  as  a  mouth  wash  and 
gargle.  It  puts  you  on  the 
safe  and  polite  side.  More- 
over, in  using  Listerine  to 
combat  halitosis,  you  are 
quite  sure  to  avoid  sore  throat 
and  those  more  serious  ill- 
nesses that  start  with  throat 
infections. 

Listerine  halts  food  fermen- 
tation in  the  mouth  and  leaves 
the  breath  sweet,  fresh  and 
clean.  Not  by  substil  utingsome 
ot  her  odor,  but  by  really  remov- 
ing the  old  one.  The  Listerine 
odor  itself  quickly  disappears. 

This  safe  and  long-trust  edan- 
tiseptic  has  dozens  of  different 
uses;  note  the  little  circular  that 
conns  with  every  bottle.  Your 
druggist  sells  Listerine  in  the 
original  brown  package  only — 
in  bulk.  There  are  four 
sizes:  14  ounce,  7  ounce,  3  ounce 
and  1  jounce.  Buy thelarge size

"  TTE  LOVES  ME.  He  loves  me  not. 
J-  -i-  Ah,  we  shall  see,  Little  Book,  we 
shall  seel  What  if  he  did  take  Marjorie 
to  the  dance  last  night — weren't  his  eyes  all 
for  me?  A  nd  when  he  told  me,  right  in  front 
of  Marge,  how  lovely  and  natural  my  com- 
plexion was — my,  but  wasn't  she  jealous! 
"Poor  Marge!  If  she  only  knew  how  to 
apply  her  rouge,  how  lovely  she  would  be! 
Why  doesn't  she  learn  that  greatest 
beauty  secret — how  to  harmonize  make-up 
with  costume — how  to  make  her  color 
bring  out  the  glory  of  her  eyes  and  hair! 

"It  all  seems  so  easy  since  I  started 
using  Princess  Pat  Rouge.  Last  night, 
in  my  colorful  new  gown,  it  was  VIVID 
that  took  his  eye.  Tomorrow,  when  he

Hoot  Gibson  and  his  director,  Cliff  Smith,  testing 
the  strength  of  the  pit  cover,  for  their  new  picture 


How  They  Make 
the  Horses  Jump 
Out  of  the  Screen 


YOU  see,  it's  like  this.  A  pit  is  dug  in  the  ground  large  enough 
to  contain  the  cameras  and  cameramen.  This  is  boarded  over 
and  covered  with  whatever  kind  of  earth  suits  the  locale  of  the 
moment. 

The  camera  lenses  are  trained  through  the  apertures  prepared  for 
that  purpose,  and  photograph  the  horses  approaching  the  spot.  As 
the  horsemen  reach  and  leap  over  the  buried  cameras,  their  images 
are  recorded  on  the  film  as  shown  in  the  strip  to  the  right.  When 
this  is  projected  on  the  screen,  it  gives  the  impression  of  the  horses. 
or  train,  or  automobile,  as  the  case  might  be.  tearing  right  out  of  the 
picture  at  you. 

D.  AW  Griffith  was  the  first  diiector  to  try  this  camera  trick — in 
"Hearts  of  the  World." 

It  was  later  very  effectively  used  in  "The  Virgin  of  Stamboul." 
and  has  since  been  seen  frequently. 

An  improvement  on  the  old  method  helped  to  secure  many  of  the 
most  thrilling  "shots"  of  the  chariot  race  in  "Ben  Hur."  Ten 
cameras  were  buried  at  various  points  along  the  course  of  the  Circus 
M.i\imus.  These  were  operated  electrically.  Being  completely  out 
of  the  danger  /.one.  they  were  able  to  capture  every  exciting  and 
beautiful  movement  made  by  the  oncoming  horses. 

This  is  essentially  a  trick,  however,  that  can  be  overworked.  A 
too  frequent  use  would  soon  destroy  its  thrill.

A  Great  Hygienic  Handicap 
that  Your  Daughter  will  be  Spared 


This  rcviar\ahle  7\[£W  way.  hy  banishing 
the  insecurity  and  uncertainty  of  old  ways, 
and  hy  providing  an  all'important  casydis* 
posal  feature,  solves  woman's  oldest  hygienic 
problem,  exquisitely,  thoroughly,  amazingly 


By  ELLEN  J.  BUCKLAND 
Graduate  Nurse 

LIKE  most  other  things,  woman's 
^  greatest  hygienic  handicap 
has  yielded  to  modern  scientific 
attainment. 

There  is  a  new  way  in  personal 
hygiene.  A  way  scientific,  immaculate  and 
positive  that  ends  the  doubts  and  uncer- 
tainties of  the  now  discarded  sanitary  pad. 
Under  former  conditions,  the  average 
woman  spent  almost  one-sixth  of  her 
time  in  embarrassment  .  .  .  often  in  fear. 
Today  the  gayest  of  sheer  frocks,  the 
most  exacting  of  social  urgencies  hold  no 
terror  for  the  modern  woman. 

Almost  80%  of  all  women  in  the  better 
walks  of  life  have  adopted  this  scientific 
way.  The  women  of  tomorrow  will  never 
know  that  the  most  trying  of  hygienic 
conditions  is  other  than  an  incident  in 
their  lives. 

Factors  that  changed  the  hygienic 
habits  of  the  world 

This  new  way  is  Kotex,  the  scientific  sani- 
tary pad.  Nurses  in  war-time  France  first 
discovered  it.  It  is  made  of  the  super- 
absorbent  Cellucotton.  covered  with  spe- 
cially processed,  soft-finished  gauze. 

It  absorbs  and  holds  instantly  sixteen 
times  its  own  weight  in  moisture.  It  is  five 
times  as  absorbent  as  ordinary  cotton  pads. 


Each  Kotex  pad  de- 
odorizes with  a  new 
secret  disinfectant. 
Think  of  the  amazing 
protection  this  feature 
alone  gives! 

Easy  disposal — simply  discard 

There  is  no  bother,  no  expense, 
of  laundry.  Simply  discard 
Kotex  as  you  would  a  piece  of 
tissue — without  embarrassment. 
If  you  have  not  tried  Kotex,  please  do. 
It  will  make  a  great  difference  in  your 
viewpoint,  in  your  peace  of  mind,  and 
your  health. 

60%  of  many  ills,  according  to  many 
leading  medical  authorities,  are  traced  to 
the  use  of  unsafe  and  unsanitary  make- 
shift methods. 

Thus  today,  on  eminent  medical  advice, 
millions  are  turning  to  this  new  way. 

You  can  get  it  anywhere,  today 

A  fair  test  will  convince  you  of  its  advan- 
tages beyond  all  question.  No  other  method 
will  ever  satisfy.  Kotex  comes  in  sanitary 
sealed  packages  of  twelve,  in  2  sizes:  the 
Regular,  and  Kotex-Super.  At  all  better 
drug  and  department  stores  everywhere. 

Today  begin  the  Kotex  habit.  Note  the 
improvements,  mental  and  physical,  that 
it  brings.  Write  today  for  "Personal  Hy- 
giene" booklet.  Sample  of  Kotex  will  be 
mailed  free  on  request.

Lonnie,  the  blue-eyed  cause  of  it  all 


ncighl  orhood  just  around  the  corner  on  134th 
Street—" 

"134th  Street,"  said  Mr.  Bowman  with  a 
little  moan.  Bitter  realization  was  trickling 
into  his  soul  and  beginning  to  sear  it. 

'" — and  there's  a  nice,  semi-private  bath 
only  a  few  doors  down  the  hall,"  said  Mr.  Lee. 

Mr.  Tomlinson  Bowman  set  the  teeth,  and 
clenched  the  lists,  and  swallowed  the  scorching 
retort.  This,  this  too,  was  a  part  of  the  price 
he  must  pay  for  the  rescue  of  his  friend.  Into 
his  face  came  the  earnest  expression  of  the 
father  cougar  lighting  for  his  young. 

"There,  there,  Dickie,"  he  said  in  a  trem- 
bling voice,  "I'm  sure  it  will  be  very  nice.  We 
don't  want  to  move  before  our  month  is  up, 
you  know,  but  that  will  be  just  a  few  days." 
He  drew  a  deep  breath.  "1  could  just  die  in  a 
semi  private  bath,"  sighed  Mr.  Bowman  some- 
what faintly. 


Ill 


THAT  night,  however,  his  dreams  were 
troubled  and  he  spent  uneasy  and  ominous 
hours,  tumbling  about  in  the  shadows.  Anon 
he  would  fall  in  a  doze  and  then  come  awake 


quivering,  with  hammering  heart,  fancying 
himself  pent  in  a  semi-private  bath.  Anon 
would  come  flitting  by  a  shadow  like  an  angel. 
with  bright  hair,  proclaiming  itself  The  Duch- 
ess' Daughter.  The  tleeting  visions  came  and 
went  to  the  accompaniment  of  a  great  crying  of 
condors  and  vultures  in  the  arroyo  of  134th 
Street. 

Came  a  new  day,  and,  on  awakening,  the 
deplorable  Mr.  l.ee  began  poisoning  the  fresh 
morning  air  with  chatter  about  opening  a  bank 
account.  "It  only  takes  a  hundred  dollars  to 
open  an  account,"  he  prattled,  "and  then  you 
pay  everything  by  check  and  save  all  sorts  ot 
money.  If  I  only  had  a  hundred  all  in  one 
basket,  now — " 

"If  you  only  did."  agreed  the  plagued  Mr. 
bowman  with  strained  politeness,  and  raised 
up  on  one  elbow.  The  morn  was  fresh  and 
fair,  but  Mr.  bowman  surveyed  it  with  a  jaun- 
diced eve.     "Yo-landa." 

"I'll  borrow  fifty  on  next  week's  pay,  "piped 
Mr.  l.ee  from  the  bathroom,  "and  then  I'll  get 
fifty  from  you  and  start  my  bank  account." 

Mi.  bowman  slumped  down  in  his  bed. 

The  ambitious  Mr.  l.ee  splashed,  shaved  and 
departed  in  the  course  of  time,  and  silence  and 


peace  enveloped  the  soul  of  Tomlinson  Bow- 
man. But  not  for  long.  His  anxieties  ard 
tribulations  came  and  stood  by  his  bedside  ard 
chattered  at  him,  leering.  Finally  an  idea 
struck  him.  It  might  be  well,  he  thought,  to 
take  a  look  at  the  forthcoming  release  of  the 
Frantic  Fortnightly,  the  news  reel  which  was 
Mr.  Lee's  particular  charge.  If  Mr.  Fee's 
work  were  still  up  to  its  usual  lively  standard, 
hope  remained.  It  would  indicate  the  illness 
had  not  yet  bitten  to  the  bone. 

Mr.  Bowman  arose  and  departed  officeward 
and  made  private  arrangements  for  a  look  at 
the  Frantic  Fortnightly  in  a  remote  location  in 
the  building.  There  he  sat  in  dull  silence 
while  the  flashes  and  titles  reversed  in  the 
negative  came  rushing  out  and  stinging  him 
in  the  eyes. 

The  first  flash  showed  a  village  street,  three 
business  men  and  a  loafing  rooster,  twelve  on- 
lookers and  a  small  Ionic  temple  in  concrete,  with 
cornices  in  the  late  Victorian  live ry-s table 
manner.  All  this  purported  to  be  the  official 
opening  of  the  Hicksmore  Savings  Bank  at 
Perkins'  Crossroads,  Pa.  "When  a  Penny 
is  put  away  against  the  Rainy  Day,  an  Angel 
Smiles."  Air.  Lee  had  titled. 

Xext  came  flashes  of  the  community  obser- 
vation of  Breadcrumbs  for  Birdies  Week  in 
Venice,  Ala.  "Tidbits  for  the  little  Xest- 
builders. "  was  Mr.  Lee's  captional  comment, 
"and  What  is  Holier  than  the  Building  of  a 
Xest?  " 

"COLLOWED  a  flash  of  the  Princess  Volanda 
*-  of  I  taly  in  her  gardens  in  Piedmont,  evidently 
shot  from  the  highest  Alp  in  Savoy  by  some 
unbalanced  camera  man  on  space.  It  showed 
trees  and  lawns  in  the  dim  distance,  and  some- 
thing that  might  possibly  be  taken  for  the 
flutter  of  a  frock.  "The  lady  with  the  Lovely 
Name,  in  whose  honor  the  Sturdy  Peasantry 
of  Tuscan)'  cries  'Hoch  der  Princess'." 

Then  came  the  Home  Life  of  the  Eskimo, 
exterior  and  interior  shots  of  a  snow  igloo. 
"Under  the  Xorthern  Lights  Life  Wriggles  on 
in  its  Quaintly  Fashion."  Mr.  Lee  had  titled, 
"and  the  Igloo  soothes  the  Eskimo,  for  Igloo 
stands  for  Home. " 

Mr.  Bowman  arose  and  departed,  talking 
confidentially  in  an  undertone  with  God.  He 
came  into  his  own  office  with  a  weird  glitter  in 
his  eyes.  The  capable  secretary  was  busy 
answering  his  letters  for  him.  She  looked  up 
at  him  with  her  sleepy  blue  stare,  and  for  a 
moment  Mr.  Bowman  was  conscious  of  a  flicker 
of  warmth  in  his  soul;  he  realized  there  was  at 
least  one  other  person  in  the  world  who 
remained  sane  and  efficient. 

"I've  taken  care  of  the  mail."  said  Lonnie 
placidly.  "But  here's  an  office  memo  marked 
'Must'." 

Mr.  Bowman's  chief  ...id  once  been  one  of 
those  coarse  and  forceful  city  desk  men  on  a 
newspaper,  and  his  scrawl  "  lust"  was  a  sign 
calling  for  immediate  attention.  Mr.  Bow- 
man took  up  the  memo  delicately,  detaching  it 
from  the  large  and  unpleasant-looking  book  it 
had  been  clipped  with. 

"Bowman:  Time  for  fresh  highbrow 
release  to  clinch  culture  attendance."  he 
read.  "Pan-Planetary  has  already  put 
over  a  wow  in  'Why  Rome  Fell.'  adapted 
from  Chicago  Social  Service  Annual. 
Attached  book  just  brought  to  my  atten- 
tion. Chance  for  good  hell  scenes  and 
snappy  sin  stuff.  Work  out  experimental 
continuity  and  don't  forget  happy  end- 


Mr.  Bowman  picked  up  the  book.  It  was 
printed  in  poetry,  and  captioned  "Paradise 
Lost."— Mr.  Richard  Lee  was  an  ambitious 
voting  man.

W//c//  it's  evening — 
and  your  little  home  resounds  with  the 
joys  of  hospitality — when  it  suddenly 
seems  that  no  other  happiness  compares 
with  receiving  and  welcoming  friends 
—have  a  Camel! 


No  other  cigarette  in  the  world  is  like  Camels.  Camels  contain  the 
choicest  Turkish  and  domestic  tobaccos.  The  Camel  blend  is  the 
triumph  of  expert  blenders.  Even  the  Camel  cigarette  paper  is  the 
finest,  made  especially  in  France.  Into  this  one  brand  of  cigarettes 
go  all  of  the  experience,  all  of  the  skill  of  the  largest  tobacco  organi- 
zation in  the  world. 


WHEN  friends  come  in. 
And  you  are  busy  making 
them  know  their  welcome. 
When  friendship  and  hos- 
pitality are  the  brightest 
joys  in  all  the  world — have 
a  Camel! 

For  no  other  good  thing 
is  so  widely  shared.  Camels 
make  every  true  friendship 
truer.  There  never  was  a 
cigarette  made  that  put  as 
much  pleasure  into  smoking 
and  giving  smoking  plea- 
sure to  others  as  Camels. 
Camels  never  tire  the  taste 
or  leave  a  cigaretty  after- 
taste. Millions  of  experi- 
enced smokers  just  wouldn't 
buy  or  offer  to  others  any 
other  cigarette  but  Camels. 

So,  this  night  when  friends 
come  in  to  share  the  warmth 
of  your  fire  and  your  friend- 
ship— taste  then  the  smoke 
that  is  friendly  to  millions. 
You  may  know  you  are 
smoking  and  serving  the 
world's  finest  cigarette. 

Have  a  Camel!

do   not   yet   know   Camel 

quality,    is    that    you    try

Natural  Loveliness 


Palmolive  is  a  beauty  soap  made 
solely  for  one  purpose;  to  foster 
good  complexions. 

In  France,  home  of  cosmetics, 
Palmolive  is  the  second  largest 
selling  soap  and  has  supplanted 
French  soaps  by  the  score.  In 
beauty-wise  Paris,  Palmolive  is 
the  "imported"  soap. 

Remember  those  facts  when 
tempted  to  risk  an  unproved 
soap  on  your  skin. 


Is  ever  the  reward  of  sensible  skin  care — to  safeguard  your  children's 
complexion  and  your  own,  just  follow  this  simple  daily  rule 


3078 


NATURAL  beauty,  simple  and  allur- 
ing, is  the  beauty  standard  of  today- 
The  modern  mother  starts  early  with 
protective  skin  care  for  her  children  .  .  . 
and  preserves  her  own  youthful  fresh- 
ness in  precisely  the  same  way.  That  is, 
by  the  exclusion  of  artificial  methods, 
often  so  hazardous  to  the  skin. 

Skin  beauty  starts  with  skin  cleanli- 
ness; pores  kept  healthfully  clean  with 
the  softening  lather  of  olive  and  palm 
oils  as  blended  in  Palmolive.  World's 
leading  specialists  on  skin  care  agree 
to  this. 

Nat// re's  simple  rule  to 

keep  that  schoolgirl 

complexion 

Wash  your  face  gently  with 
soothing  Palmolive.  Then  mas- 
sage it  softly  into  the  skin.  Rinse 


thoroughly.  Than  repeat  both  washing  and 
rinsing.  Let  the  final  rinsing  be  with  cold 
water.  If  your  skin  is  inclined  to  be  dry, 
apply  a  touch  of  good  cold  cream — that  is 
all.  Do  this  regularly,  and  particularly  in 
the  evening. 

Use  powder  and  rouge  it  you  wish.  But 
never  leave  them  on  overnight.  They  clog 
the  pores,  often  enlarge  them.  Blackheads 
and  disfigurements  often  follow.  They 
must  be  washed  away. 

Avoid  this  mistake 

Do  not  use  ordinary  soaps  in  the  treat- 
ment given  above.  Do  not  think  any  green 
soap,  or  represented  as  of  olive  and  palm 
oils,  is  the  same  as  Palmolive. 

And  it  costs  but  10c  the  cake — so  little 
that  millions  let  it  do  for  their  bodies  what 
it  does  for  their  faces.  Obtain  a  cake  today. 
Then  note  what  an  amazing  difference  one 
week  makes.

War  is  Declared— in  Hollywood 


Wallace  Beery  and  Raymond  Hatton  team  up  again  as  a  pair  of

Beery  as  the  detective  who  is  trailing  him,  enlist  the  same  day 
through  the  wiles  of  the  same  girl,  get  billeted  together,  fight  side 
by  side,  and  both  fall  in  love  with  the  small  temptress,  played  by 
Mary  Brian.  Here  they  are,  all  set  for  praise.  Instead  they  get 
court  martialed.  Eddie  Sutherland,  Paramount's  clever  boy 
director,  used  his  old  Keystone  training  to  good  effect  in  making 

this  picture 


Now  that  "The  Big 
I  arade"  has  shown  wh.it 
war  can  do  to  a  perfectly 

good  box-office,  every  lot 
in  Hollywood  is  bristling 
with  bayonets.  Para- 
mount's contribution  is 
"Behind  the  Front, "  a 
hilarious  comedy  of 
the  A.  E.  F. 


In  the  rising  tide  of  come-

Scotch,  Chester  Conklin. 
Chet,  just  like  a  bathing 
beauty,  started  at  Sen-

One  of  our  best  bad  men,  Beery  gives 
such  a  fine  comedy  performance  that 
it  may  change  his  future.  Maybe  he's

Gilda  Gray,  whose  dancing  feet  turned  everything  she  touched  to  gold 

The  Girl  on  the  Cover 

By  Cal  York 


GILDA  GRAY'S  first  starring  picture  is  yet 
to  be  shown.  Nevertheless,  Photoplay 
picks  her  for  its  girl  on  the  cover  because  Gilda 
is  looming  up  as  one  of  the  greatest  person- 
alities in  years. 

Gilda  literally  shook  herself  into  fame.  She 
snapped  her  fingers  at  poverty,  shrugged  her 
shoulders  at  care,  smiled  her  half-tragic  smile 
at  life  and  came  from  the  barrooms  of  the 
Middle  West  to  sophisticated  Broadway,  a 
primitive,  startling  individual.  After  that  it 
was  all  over  but  the  signing  of  the  movie  con- 
tracts and  the  making  of  "Aloma  of  the  South 
Seas,"  which  is  generally  regarded  as  one  of  the 
biggest  pictures  of  the  coming  season. 

Gilda  was  born  Mary  Michalski  somewhere 
in  Poland.  She  grew  up  with  her  parents  in 
Milwaukee,  and  being  dirt  poor  and  not  daring 
to  hope  very  much,  she  married  John  Gorecki, 
a  bartender.  Those  were  the  days  when  bar- 
lenders  were  not  bootleggers  and  their  social 
standing  was  not  higher  than  a  whiskey  glass. 
The  young  wife  had  one  child,  a  boy.  and  very 
little  else.  Their  poverty  drove  her  to  dancing 
in  the  local  cabarets.    Those  were  not  places  of 


refinement  and  she  did  not  bring  refinement  to 
them  but  something  more  important — a  breath 
of  sudden,  untamed  beauty. 

Chicago  heard  of  her  and  she  danced  there. 
Then  came  the  Follies  and  Broadway's  most 
exclusive  night  club.  In  the  latter  she  found 
romance  in  the  figure  of  Gil  Boag,  the  owner. 

Gil  was  a  personage,  too.  He  owned  nearly 
even-  exclusive  dinner  and  supper  place  on  the 
('.real  White  Way.  He  talked  to  Gilda  of  the 
dancing  feet  and  learned  her  story,  her  past, 
her  sorrows,  her  lack  of  time  to  learn  the  three 
R's.  He  changed  it  all  for  her.  Through  him, 
books,  pictures,  money  and  tutors  came  into 
her  life.  He  came,  too,  as  her  husband  just 
after  the  day  when  Gilda  went  back  to  Milwau- 
kee, divorced  John  and  got  her  child. 

That  was  a  couple  of  years  ago.  Gil  gave  up 
his  cabarets  to  manage  Gilda.  She  thought 
she'd  make  good  in  pictures,  so  she  did  a  bit  in 
"Lawful  Larceny"  to  prove  she'd  screen.  Gil 
liked  the  sight  of  her  stills  and  routed  her  over 
the  country  to  prove  her  box-office  value  to  the 
picture  people.  The  result  was  her  present 
contract  with  Paramount.

Adolphe  Menjou  in  "I'll  See  You  Tonight" 
at  the  Paramount  Long  Island  Studio.  Mai 
St.  Clair,  that  likable  young  director,  was 
handling  the  megaphone. 

That  morning  Greta  came  in  a  couple  of 
hours  late.  She  didn't  bother  about  an  excuse 
or  apology.  She  was  just  late,  that's  all.  The 
company  had  sat  around  twiddling  its  lingers 
waiting  for  Miss  Nissen,  while  the  well-known 
overhead  mounted  minute  by  minute. 

Now,  Mr.  Menjou  felt  this  was  a  mean  trick 
for  Greta  to  play  on  their  nice  director,  for 
know  you  that  if  the  picture  costs  too  much,  the 
director  gets  the  blame.  So  like  a  Dutch  uncle, 
Adolphe  took  Greta  aside  and  asked  her  if  she 
thought  this  was  a  fair  way  for  her  to  act.  Mr. 
Menjou,  had.been  on  the  set  right  on  the  dot. 

And  then  Greta  became  hysterical  and 
rushed  off  the  set  to  her  dressing  room.  This 
was  the  second  time  she  had  seriously  delayed 
the  company,  so  Miss  Nissen  was  removed 
from  the  cast  of  "I'll  Sec  You  Tonight."  and  a 
newcomer,  Elsie  Lawson,  was  given  the  role. 

Mr.  St.  Clair's  first  experience  with  the 
elusive  Greta  was  when  she  arrived  in  New 
York  from  the  Coast.  She  had  been  sent  for  to 
play  the  lead  with  Menjou  in  this  picture. 
They  needed  her  immediately.  Hut  Miss 
Nissen  had  some  Christmas  shopping  to  do  and 
didn't  bother  reporting  at  the  studio  until  alter 
the  holidays.  She  had  picked  out  a  nice  quiet 
hotel  that  nobody  ever  heard  of,  apparently, 
for  the  studio  scouts  were  unable  to  locate  the 
Swedish  beauty.

Wally  Beery:  "Ray,  where's  the 
wig  I  had  on  a  minute  ago?" 

Ray  Hatton :  "In  your  hat,  big  boy, 
in  your  hat!" 


TT  would  be  just  a  scrap  of  paper  to  anyone 
-*-but  Mrs.  Douglas  MacLean. 

But  to  her  it's  worth  just  exactly  $250,000. 

It  was  Douglas  MacLean's  Christmas  gift  to 
his  wife — an  insurance  policy  that  protects 
him  to  the  extent  of  a  quarter  of  a  million 
dollars  against  any  illness  or  accident  that  may 
terminate  his  screen  career.  Special  stress  is 
laid  on  MacLean's  famous  toothy  smile.

magnificent  square-cut  emerald,  and

for  some  time  in  July. 

RICHARD  BARTHELMESS  is  back  in 
New  York  after  a  brief  vacation  in  Florida. 
He  denied  emphatically  that  he  had  bought 
any  Florida  real  estate. 

"But  I  never  saw  so  many  real  estate  men  in 
mvlife."  he  said.  "I  imagine  I  was  approached 
by  at  least  four  thousand  of  them  with  offers 
of  sure-thing  propositions.  If  I  had  taken  any 
of  them  up  and  they  had  turned  out  as  repre- 
sented, a  million  dollars  almost  overnight 
would  have  been  my  profits. 

"To  tell  the  truth."  Dick  added,  "when  you 
see  what  is  actually  happening  down  there  you 
are  almost  inclined  to  believe  all  of  them. 

"It's  deeds,  not  words,  in  Florida!"

Ignorance 
of  physical  facts 

never  brought  happiness 

UNLESS  there  is  frank  discussion, 
there  can  be  no  real  enlightenment 
on  a  subject  such  as  feminine  hygiene. 
The  recent  advances  in  this  branch  ot 
hygiene  have  all  come  about  as  an 
answer  to  one  existing  evil.  And  that 
is  the  evil  of  poisonous  antiseptics.  Every 
physician  and  nurse  is  familiar  with  the 
effects  when  delicate  tissues  come  in 
contact  with  bichloride  of  mercury  or 
the  compounds  of  carbolic  acid.  Yet 
until  lately  there  was  no  other  recourse 
for  fastidious  women  who  demanded 
an  efficient  and  true  surgical  cleanliness. 

Every  woman  has  reason 
to  welcome  Zonite 

But  no  longer  need  a  woman  risk  the 
effects  of  dangerous  poisons  for  the  pur- 
pose of  feminine  hygiene.  No  longer 
need  she  fear  accidental  poisoning  in 
the  home.  For  now  she  has  Zonite.  This 
powerful  antiseptic-germicide  is  a  re- 
markable achievement  to  contemplate. 
Though  absolutely  non-poisonous,  Zo- 
nite is  more  than  forty  times  as  strong 
as  peroxide  of  hydrogen  and  far  more 
powerful  than  any  dilution  of  carbolic 
acid  that  can  be  safely  used  on  the 
human  body. 

No  wonder ,  then,  that  Zonite  has  been  welcomed 
with  satisfaction.  A  powerful  antiseptic  which, in  its 
many  uses,  is  harmless  to  human  tissue  I  Dentists 
are  using  it  widely  for  preventive  oral  hygiene. 
Suggestion :  ask  your  physician's  opinion  of  Zonite.

weeks  to  find  an  actress  best  suited  to  interpret 
the  heroine  of  whom  Arlen  wrote: 

"...  who  in  this  world  was  ever  more 
vividly,  more  magnificently  alive  than  that 
golden  lady,  she  who  was  called  the  dancer  of 
Paris?'' 

"...  she  wore  clothes  so  that  French- 
women looked  like  Englishwomen." 

"...   as  hard  as  a  diamond.-' 

OF  course,  this  is  absolutely  sub  rosa.  I 
wouldn't  have  it  get  any  farther  than  you  for 
anything!  BUT  ...  I  have  it  from  a  reli- 
able source  that  Jack  Gilbert  is  again  most 
attentive  to  Leatricc  Joy.  who  not  so  long  ago 
was  Mrs.  Jack  Gilbert.  My  reliable  informant 
goes  so  far  as  to  recount  a  tender  little  scene 
that  occurred  at  the  gate  of  the  big  MetTO- 
Goldwyn-Mayer  Studio  when  Jack  gave  Letty 
a  generous  welcoming  kiss  when  they  met  a  t  the 
portal. 

And  they  do  say  that  the  person  who  ap- 
plauded the  loudest  and  the  longest  at  the  New 
York  premiere  of  "The  Big  Parade"  was  Letty 
Joy — all  in  shell  pink  for  the  occasion.  And 
that  much  of  her  time  in  New  York  was  spent 
sight-seeing  with  ex-hubby  Jack. 

So  what  do  you  make  of  it? 

GLORIA  SWANSON  sprung  a  surprise  on 
her    friends    recently    when    she    won    the 
weekly   rifle   shooting   honors    for   women   at 


Tinehurst,  North  Carolina.  Now.  who  would 
think  that  Gloria  had  an  accomplishment  like 
this  tucked  up  her  sleeve? 

It  happened  when  the  "Untamed"  company 
was  traveling  south  on  location.  'While  the 
director  was  picking  a  spot  to  set  up  his  cam- 
eras, the  Marquise  and  her  husband  slipped 
into  their  puttees  and  stepped  over  to  Pine- 
hurst  just  long  enough  for  Gloria  to  take  the 
honors  away  from  two  society  women  in  the 
regular  weekly  trapshoot  for  women.  Gloria 
broke  133  out  of  a  possible  150  birds  at  the 
usual  1  cyard  distance. 

Gloria  needed  only  six  shots  to  make  her 
titled  husband  admit  defeat  in  the  150-target 
event  which  she  entered  next,  even  after  he  had 
spent  his  time  in  practice  to  defeat  her  while 
she  was  busy  working  before  the  camera. 

HERE,  mother,  is  a  check.  Take  a  trip 
around  the  world,"  or  words  to  that  ef- 
fect, is  what  Alma  Rubens  told  her  maternal 
parent  the  other  day. 

And  so  ^  1  rs.  Teresa  Rubens  hurriedly  packed 
a  few  w  hat-nots  into  her  vanity  case  and  sailed 
in  a  few  days  from  San  Pedro.  Her  first  stop 
will  be  in  Hawaii,  where  she  has  promised  to 
pluck  Alma  a  few  ripe  ukuleles,  and  then  she 
will  go  to  Japan  and  through  the  Orient.  Late 
spring  will  probably  find  her  on  the  continent, 
and  Hollywood  will  again  see  Mrs.  Rubens  in 
the  summer.     Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ricardo  Cortez

V, 


'By  MADAME 
JEANNETTE 

Famous  cosmetician,  retained  by 
The  Pompeian  Laboratories  as  a 
consultant  to  gi.e  authentic  advice 
regarding,  the  care  of  the  skin  and 
the  proper  use  of  beauty  prepara- 
tions. 

(TRECENTLYover- 

CJ  heard  one  of  my 
friends  say  to  another: 
"You,  for  one,  need  no 
rouge,  my  dear!  What 
lovely  natural  color- 
ing!" But  the  truth 
was  this — like  thou- 
sands of  other  women, 
she  had  found  a  rouge 
that  gave  her  cheeks 
the  exquisite  natural 
coloring  of  a  girl  in  her 
'teens.  That  rouge  is 
Pompeian  Bloom. 

Today  women  everywhere 
realize  the  necessity  of  using 
rouge  that  matches  perfectly 
their  natural  skin-tones.  They 
know  that  the  effect  of 
obvious  rouge  is  just  as  unattractive  as 
lack  of  coloring.  They  want  rouge  that 
appears  to  be  part  of  their  own  complex- 
ions. And  when  they  use  the  right  shade 
of  Pompeian  Bloom  they  achieve  the 
wholly  natural  effect  they  desire. 

From  the  shade  chart  below  you  can 
easily  select  your  particular  shade  of 
Pompeian  Bloom  for  your  type  of  com- 
plexion. 

SHADE  CHART  for  selecting 
your  correct  tone  of  Pompeian  Bloom 

Medium  Skin:  The  average  American 
woman  has  the  medium  skin-tone — pleas- 
antly warm  in  tone  with  a  faint  sugges- 
tion of  old  ivory  or  sun-kissed  russet. 
The  Medium  tone  of  Pompeian  Bloom 
suits  this  skin.  If  with  a  medium  skin 
you  are  slightly  tanned,  you  may  find 
the  Orange  tint  more  becoming.  And 
sometimes  women  with  medium  skin  who 
have  very  dark  hair  get  a  brilliant  result 
with  the  Oriental  tint. 

Olive  Skin:  Women  with  the  true  olive

Reginald  Denny  was  recently  made  the  thirteenth  member  of  the 
Black  Cats,  stunt  men  and  aviators.  The  white  claws  on  his 
insignia  indicate  he  was  felled  twice  in  the  war.  where  he  served  in 
the  Royal  Flying  Corps.  Under  Black  Cat  rulings  Denny  is  allowed 
only  six  more  falls  and  he  can  fly  no  more,  for  Black  Cats  have  but 
nine  lives,  you  know 


will  meet  the  traveler  upon  her  return,  for 
Alma  and  Ricardo  are  to  marry  in  February. 

"DEN  LYON  is  nursing  a  sore  jaw.  Helen 
-'-'Ferguson  is  nursing  a  strained  wrist.  And 
it  didn't  happen  in  a  picture,  but  right  on 
Broadway,  New  York. 

The  one-sided  battle  occurred  at  the  en- 
trance to  the  Mark  Strand  Theater,  where 
Helen  and  Lois  Wilson  had  gone  to  see  "Blue- 
beard's Seven  Wives,"  in  which  Lois  plays  a 
part. 

As  Helen  and  Lois  walked  through  the  foyer, 
Ben  Lyon  in  a  three  weeks'  growth  of  beard 
rushed  up  and  grasped  Helen  by  the  arm, 
saying: 

"Hello,  Helen,  old  dear.    How  are  you?" 

"Let  go  my  arm,"  she  replied  haughtily  to 
the  bewhiskered  stranger.  But  Ben  only  held 
on  tighter,  thinking  she  was  kidding  him. 

Sock!  Right  in  the  jaw.  Then  he  knew  she 
wasn't  kidding. 

"Hey,  what's  the  idea.  Helen?"  he  cried, 
and  Lois,  divining  that  Helen  really  didn't 
recognize  Ben,  hastily  explained.  Lois  had 
worked  with  Ben  in  his  beard,  but  Helen  had 
not  seen  it  before. 

Helen  apologized  abjectly.  She  told  them 
how  her  husband,  Bill  Russell — one  time 
amateur  heavyweight  boxing  champion  of 
America — had  taught  her  every  trick  of  self- 
defense,  and  she  never  wasted  time  arguing. 

TT  was  over  at  the  United  Studios. 
■*■  I  was  talking  to  a  couple  of 
charming  actresses,  one  of  whom 
was  new  to  that  lot. 

Just  then  the  whistle,  which  blows 
every  hour,  went  off  with  a  piercing 
scream.  It  wasn't  noon.  It  was  ten 
o'clock. 

"What's  that?"  cried  the  new- 
comer, jumping  sideways  and  duck- 
ing. 

"Don't  worry,"  explained  the  old- 
timer.  "It  just  means  Colleen  Moore 
wants  another  glass  of  milk." 

HOLLYWOOD  has  a  new  little  eating  house, 
where  the  savory  odors  of  fowl  roasting  on 
the  open  spit  mingle  with  the  tones  of  the  film 
Folk  talking  about  Jack's  great  performance  in 
"The  Big  Parade"  and  whether  Laskys  are 
going  to  use  a  mob  scene  on  Friday.

"Henry's."  it  is  called,  and  "Henry"  is  the 
Henry  Bergman  who  has  been  seen  in  even- 
Chaplin  picture  for  the  last  ten  years — fat  and 
jovial,  a  typical  innkeeper  of  Dickens'  days. 
He  played  in  "The  Gold  Rush" — was  the  obese 
prospector  in  whose  cabin  Charlie  performed 
the  Dance  of  the  Rolls — and  they  do  say  that 
Henry  started  his  little  restaurant  with  the 
proceeds  of  his  work  in  that  picture.  Small 
wonder  when  you  consider  it  took  Charlie 
nearly  two  years  to  make  it ! 

Just  now  Henry's  snug  little  two-by-four 
establishment  is  the  informal  meeting  place  of 
Hollywood — with  Charlie  dropping  in  for  a 
liverwurst  sandwich  on  Russian  rye.  with  a 
side  order  of  apple  slrudcl. 

"D  UDY  VALENTINO  seems  to  have  had  the 
-"-time  of  his  life  on  his  recent  trip  abroad. 
While  waiting  for  the  divorce  action  to  be 
settled  he  amused  himself  winning  dancing 
contests  in  Paris  with  Laura  Gould,  former 
wife  of  George  Gould.  Jr..  and  playing  baccarat 
at  Monte  Carlo.  His  winnings  for  one  night 
were  reported  to  be  $31,000.  "Lucky  at 
cards;  unlucky  at  love,"  seems  to  be  true  in  the 
sheik's  case. 

"D  ICHARD  DIX  told  it  to  me.  He 
-*-^-said  Bill  Powell  was  the  one  who 
perpetrated  it.  But  when  I  asked 
Bill  he  denied  the  responsibility  and 
hung  it  on  Ronald  Colman.  Ronald 
disclaimed  credit  and  tried  to  say  it 
was  Jack  Gilbert,  who  wished  it  on 
Lew  Cody.    It  wasn't  he  either. 

Anyway,  here's  the  story: 

It  seems  that  Lew — or  whoever  it 
was — was  very  much  inebriated  the 
other  day  and  felt  the  need  of  fem- 
inine society  to  share  his  enjoyment. 
But  the  little  red  book  failed  to  re- 
veal any  promising  numbers.  Now 
there  dwells  in  Los  Angeles  a  cele- 
brated female  revivalist.  Lew — or 
whoever  it  was — picked  up  the  'phone 
and  dialed  her  number. 

"Hello.  Ish  thish  Miss  So-and-so?" 

"Yes." 

"I  undershtand  you  save  wild 
women." 

"Yes,  praise  be,  I  do!"

e  WOMAN  who  works  Youth  Miracles 
on  society's  most  famous  faces 


DY  discovering  the  3  telltale 
■*-*  places  where  age  first  shows 
on  a  woman's  race,  and  then  cor- 
recting  them  by  scientific  treat- 
ments and  exclusive  preparations, 
Dorothy  Gray  became  one  of  the 
world's  most  famous  beauty 
specialists.  What  she  does  and  how. 


67%  of  all  women  past  25 
and  90%  past  3  5  reveal  one 
or  more  of  these  conditioris 


THERE  are  three  places — 
weak  places-on  a  woman's 
face  which  unerringly  re- 
veal one's  years.  Correcting  them 
makes  a  difference  that  is  almost 
unbelievable. 

By  developing  a  unique  treat- 
ment and  scientific  preparations 
sing  them,  Dorothy  Gray  be- 
came beauty  mentor  to  scores  of 
the  most  important  women, 
socially  and  financially,  both  in 
Europe  and  America.  Scarcely 
an  important  name  in  the  inter- 
national social  register  but  has 
yielded  to  her  amazing  minis- 
trations. 

67°c  of  all  women  past  25,  ac- 
cording to  experts,  show  one  or 
more  of  these  three  facial  con- 
ditions. Almost  90%  of  women 
past  35  reveal  them.  Ordinary 
beauty  methods  have  failed  in 
correcting  them.  That  is  why  the 
battle  against  age,  regardless  of 
precautions  taken,  has  largely 
been  a  losing  one. 

Xow  by  the  perfection  of  new 
and  radically  different  treat- 
ments and  preparations,  it's  been 
proved,  virtually  beyond  question, 
that  those  conditions  are  respon- 
sive to  correction. 

In  proof  of  it  experts  now  point 
out  that  those  percentages  do  not 
apply  to  the  wealthier  women  ex- 
cept in  a  small  degree.  It  is  shown 
that  while  almost  05%  of  the 
ultra-wealthy  women  of  America 
look  years  younger  than  they  are, 
the  average  woman  past  25,  in

ordinary  walks  of  life,  looks  from 
5  to  10  years  older  than  she  is. 

Why?  It  isn't  worry,  house- 
hold cares,  motherhood,  but  lack 
of  scientific  youth  protection. 
Correct  means  have  mostly  been 
denied  them. 

What  the  Dorothy  Gray 
Treatments  Are 

Their  objective  is  strengthening 
certain  facial  muscles  which,  In- 


weakening,  result  in  flabbiness, 
in  lines  and  wrinkles.  Thin  and 
withered  faces  can  be  made 
plump — sallow  skins  can  be  made 


white— the  actual  color  of  youth 
can  be  restored  —  lines  and  crow  's- 
fect  around  the  eyes  can  be 
erased — double  chins  can  be  re- 
duced .  .  .  absolutely — drooping 
throat  muscles  can  be  overcome. 

The  Dorothy  Gray  methods 
banish  them,  results  in  most 
cases  being  almost  beyond  belief. 
Today,  looking  one's  age  is  a 
folly;  looking  older  than  one's 
years,  a  crime  against  one's  self.

Most  of  the  girls  had  a  fling  at  it — now  the  sheiks  of  the  screen  are 

going  in  for  old  age.    Lcok  at  Ricardo  Cortez  with  a  sponge  in  each 

cheek.    But  don't  stay  away  from  "The  Torrent"  because  you  don't 

like  him  with  jowls.     He's  himself  in  most  of  the  picture 


"I  alsho  undershtand  you  save 
wayward  girls." 

"Yes,  glory  be,  I  do!" 

"Well,  will  you  pleash  save  two 
blondes  for  me  tonight?" 

A  HA !  A  brand  new  rumor.  Somebody  says 
-**-that  Richard  Dix  has  a  secret  bride  out  in 
Hollywood.  Remember  when  he  told  a  lot  of 
reporters  that  he  would  be  married  before  the 
end  of  1925? 

It  can't  be  Lois  Wilson,  for  Lois  is  not  in 
Hollywood.  She  is  right  here  in  New  York 
playing  the  lead  opposite  Dix  in  a  picture  en- 
titled, appropriately  enough,  "Let's  Get 
Married." 

Richard  neither  affirms  nor  denies  the  rumor. 
Who  knows  but  that  he  may  have  started  it 
himself  to  escape  the  friendly  machinations  of 
everybody  in  the  film  colony  who  thinks  he 
ought  to  get  married? 

DID  you  know  that  "Ben-Hur"  was  first 
made  by  the  Kalem  Company  in  1905 — 
in  otic  reel? 

J  ETTA  GOUDAL  says  she  is  not  tempera- 
mental, and  showed  me  her  thumb  to  prove 
it.  It  was  a  nice  thumb,  but  it  didn't  prove 
anything  to  me.  Palmists  would  say  that 
Jetta  has  a  sweet,  even  temper  and  can  get 
along  with  anybody,  because  the  shape  of  her 
thumb  indicates  this. 

Whatever  Jetta's  thumb  indicates,  it  is  a 
fact  that  several  directorial  thumbs  are  down 
on  the  young  lady  for  her  exhibitions  of  tem- 
perament on  the  studio  sets.  The  Famous 
Players-Lasky  Company  has  made  a  law  issue 
on  the  contention  that  Miss  Goudal  has  a 
regular  spitfire  temper,  and  that  directors  are 
unable  to  control  her.  And  Jetta  must  appear 
in  court  in  a  couple  of  weeks  to  tell  her  side  of 
the  story  and  submit  to  temper  tesls.  All  in 
connection  with  her  suit  against  the  Lasky 
Company  for  canceling  her  contract  by  reason 
of  which  she  claims  to  lose  $23,350, 

Now  she  is  very,  very  angry  with  Cecil  De 
Mille.  After  a  temperamental  outburst  on  the 
set    recently,    Mr.    De    Mille    promptly   and 


decisively  took  her  out  of  the  cast  of  "The 
Volga  Boatman,"  in  which  she  was  playing  a 
leading  role. 

This  time,  Hollywood  believes,  it  will  be 
hard  for  Miss  Goudal  to  find  work.  Directors 
no  longer  look  upon  temperament  as  a  neces- 
sity and  find  that  it  is  something  they  can  do 
without. 

HERE'S  one  that  Richard  DLs 
tells: 

A  certain  Latin  sheik  of  Hollywood 
hurried  by  a  friend  of  his. 

He  was  carrying  a  traveling  bag, 
and  he  seemed  to  be  in  a  terrible 
rush. 

"What's  the  matter  and  where  are 
you  rushing  to?"  his  friend  asked. 

"I'm  leaving  this  town  flat,"  was 
the  answer. 

"Why?"  he  was  asked. 

"I  just  got  a  letter  from  a  man  say- 
ing that  if  I  didn't  let  his  wife  alone 
he'd  shoot  me." 

"Well,  why  don't  you  let  her 
alone?" 

"The  darn  fool  forgot  to  sign  his 
name,"  he  shouted  as  he  beat  it  for 
the  station.

"LTOLLYWOOD  beauties,  smarting  a  little 
-*-  -^undcr  Erie's  accusation  of  square  shoul- 
ders, lack  of  soul  in  their  eyes  and  other  things, 
are  now  listening  eagerly  to  Benjamin  Chris- 
tiansen, the  Danish  director  at  the  Metro- 
Goldwyn  Culver  City  studio. 

Mr.  Chri-iianson  says  American  women 
have  smaller  bodies  than  European  women, 
slenderer  and  more  graceful  arms  and  legs, 
more  interesting  faces  and  more  diversity  of 
appearance.  European  women  so  often  run  to 
type,  he  says,  hut  Americans  with  the  heritage 
of  mixed  blood  produce  more  pleasingly  differ- 
ent kinds  of  beauty. 

"LTERE  is  Alexander  Carr's  latest. 
■*■-*■  A  Jewish  family  lived  next 
door  to  an  Irish  bird  dealer.  On 
Christmas  the  Irishman  gave  his 
Jewish  neighbors  a  gift  of  an  expen- 
sive parrot. 

"Merry  Christmas!  And  here's  a 
fine  and  valuable  bird  for  you,"  said 
the  Irishman. 

Some  days  later  they  met,  and  the 
bird  dealer  inquired  for  the  welfare 
of  the  bird. 

"Oy,  Mr.  Dennis!"  enthusiasti- 
cally replied  the  recipient,  "the  bird 
was  fine — the  children  had  such  a 
nice  Christmas  dinner." 

"What!"  exclaimed  Dennis.  "Do 
you  mean  to  say  you  ate  the  bird?" 

"Yes — the  children  enjoyed  him 
lots." 

"Why,  man !  that  was  a  parrot.  .  . 
a  valuable  bird!  Why!  that  bird 
could  talk!" 

"Veil,  vhy  didn't  he  say  something 
to  the  Rabbi,  then?" 

pOLA  NEGRI  has  just  published  a  1  ook 
*-  called  "La  Vic  et  le  Revc  an  Cinema,"  which 
translated  is  "The  Life  and  Dreams  of  the 
Cinema."  It  is  written  in  French  and  is  being 
sold  only  in  France. 

In  this  volume  Pola  tells  what  she  believes 
the  moving  picture  can  accomplish  for 
humanity.    A  few  lines: 

"The  cinema  will  become  the  great  regulator 
of  human  harmony."' 

"If  the  people  of  earth  are  transformed  one 
day  into  a  universal  and  pacific  republic,  they 
will  owe  it  to  the  generous  shadows  which 
flicker  across  the  outstretched  screen." 

"Liberty,  the  Anglo-Saxon  ideal,  has  been 
accomplished  by  revolution.  Equality,  the 
Latin  dream,  is  a  daughter  of  evolution. 
Fraternity,  a  universal  sentiment,  will  be 
realized  by  the  cinema." 

IT  was  Pola  Negri  who  introduced  the  clown 
make-up  which  has  become  so  popular  with 
the  women  of  this  country.  Pale  face,  sans 
rouge,  and  scarlet  lips.  Of  course  it  is  most 
becoming  to  girls  with  dark  hair.  Blondes 
need  color  in  their  cheeks,  else  they  look 
anaemic. 

Now  Miss  Yilma  Banky  has  introduced 
something  just  as  startling  for  the  blonde  sis- 
terhood. No  make-up  at  all — off-stage.  She 
appeared  at  a  dinner  party  in  Beverly  Hills  the 
other  night  without  any  vestige  of  lipstick, 
rouge,  mascara,  and  only  a  light  dusting  of 
powder  to  prevent  shine.  She  was  still 
beautiful. 

JUST  a  word  of  warning  in  which  I 
think  the  fans  will  bear  me  out. 
Those  two  dark  and  talented  beau- 
ties, Leatrice  Joy  and  Virginia  Valli, 
want  to  keep  an  eye  on  the  good  old 
bathroom  scales.  Saw  them  both  at 
lunch  at  the  Montmartre  the  other 
day,  and  though  I  didn't  watch  their 
menu,  I  hoped  it  was  pineapple  and 
lamb  chop.    It  should  have  been. 


T  WAS  astounded  the  first  day  I  visited 
■*■  Marion  Davies'  set,  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 
studio,  where  she  is  making  "Beverly  of 
Graustark,"  at  the  remarkable  resemblance 
between  the  beautiful  Cosmopolitan  star  and 
the  Prince  of  Wales. 

Marion  has  a  regular  boy's  haircut,  has 
what's  left  of  her  blonde  tresses  slicked  back 
against  her  finely  moulded  head,  and  wears 
stunning  uniforms.  It  was  the  haircut  and 
uniform  which  made  the  resemblance  so 
marked. 

And  speaking  of  the  Prince  reminds  me  of  a 
story  which  has  just  leaked  out. 

The  occasion  was  his  first  visit  to  the  Pacific 
coast.  Now  the  Prince  has  never  posed  with 
motion  picture  people  for  publicity  pictures. 
Many  have  tried  to  induce  him  to  do  so,  but  all 
have  failed. 

The  Prince  and  his  party  were  at  San  Diego 
and  were  being  elaborately  entertained  by  the 
mayor.  Mildred  Harris,  who  is  a  warm  friend 
of  the  mayor  and  his  wife,  was  also  there  and 
was  introduced  to  Edward  as  the  mayor's 
niece. 

A  group  picture,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mayor,  the 
Prince  and  Mildred,  was  suggested  by  Miss 
Harris  and  taken  before  one  of  Edward's  party 
found  out  that  Miss  Harris  was  in  pictures. 
The  negative  was  recovered  and  destroyed. 

And  that's  how  close  Mildred  Harris  came 
to  .getting  her  picture  in  the  paper  with  the 
Prince  of  Wales. 

HERE'S  one  which  recently  leaked  out  on  a 
more  or  less  prominent  actor. 

Seems  that  after  a  hard  struggle  breaking 
into  pictures,  the  actor  finally  got  a  contract 
with  William  Fox  and  was  being  featured. 
Soon  prosperity  went  to  his  head.  The  actor 
forgot  the  days  of  his  struggles  and  wrote  a 
most  unusual  letter  to  his  producer. 

In  part  it  said. "  Please  do  not  consider  this  as 
a  communication  from  an  employe  to  em- 
ployer but  as  man  to  man  "  and  then  went  on  to 
tell  Fox  just  how  good  he  was  and  how  crazy 
other  producers  were  to  have  his  services  and 
ended  by  asking  if  he  didn't  think  he.  the  actor, 
should  have  more  money. 

William  Fox's  answer  was  short  and  to  the 
point: 

"This  letter  is  not  from  man  to  man.  It  is 
from  a  man  to  a  damn  fool.  If  there  is  anyone 
in  the  business  who  will  pay  you  more  than  I 
do,  take  it  quick."  And  there  was  an  inference 
that  the  producer  would  be  glad  to  get  rid  cf 
the  actor. 

"DOB  AMES  is  a  newcomer  to  the 
■*— 'camera  coast  where  flowers  and 
fruit  flaunt  their  perpetual  beauty. 
He  was  enthusing  over  the  climate 
and  the  beauties  of  California  to  an 
old  resident: 

"It's  marvelous  out  here  .  .  .  with 
the  roses  always  blooming!"  chir- 
ruped Bob. 

"Yeh!"  said  the  perennial  pessi- 
mist, "and  you  have  no  idea  how  in- 
sulting a  rose  can  be  on  a  cold  morn- 
ing!" 

GEORGE  O'BRTEN.  the  Sir  Galahad,  the 
unattainable,  the  handsome  young  Irish 
lad  who  has  given  many  a  heart  thrill  to  the 
queens  of  the  silver  sheet  without  even  know- 
ing it  and  has  seemed  to  shun  the  fair  sex  like  a 
plague,  has  at  last  fallen  under  the  spell  of  a 
charmer.  And  the  girl  is  Olive  Borden,  the 
new  Fox  discovery  who  is  to  he  starred. 

Olive  is  young,  beautiful  and  unspoiled,  and 
their  little  romance  is  as  pretty  and  charming  a 
l hing  as  one  could  wish  to  sec.  Reminds  me  of 
a  young  love  story  out  of  one  of  those  good,  old- 
fashioned  romantic  novels.

Guide  to  good  things 

GRANDMOTHER  could  tell,  by  rubbing  it  in  her 
hand,  whether  the  goods  in  a  suit  or  overcoat 
was  all-wool.  Grandfather  could  tell  good 
leather  by  the  feel  of  it.  Both  had  ways,  or 
thought  they  had,  of  knowing  good  silver,  brass 
or  copper. 

But  you  buy  so  many  more  things  than  our 
grandparents  did,  that  it  is  almost  impossible 
to  be  a  judge  of  quality  in  everything  you  buy. 
In  this  age,  only  a  specialist  could  really  know 
even  a  small  part  of  the  many  things  used  in 
your  home,  if  the  trade-marks  and  trade-names 
were  left  off  them. 

Advertising  has  taken  the  place  of  grand- 
father's and  grandmother's  knowledge.  You 
may  be  sure  a  thing  advertised  is  as  represented. 
If  it  is  not,  the  person  making  it  and  the  one 
selling  it  will  quickly  lose  your  confidence  and 
your  patronage.  People  do  not  dare  misrepre- 
sent in  their  advertising — to  do  so  is  to  invite 
closed  factories  and  stores. 

The  advertisements  are  your  guide  to  good 
things.  Whatever  you  need,  there  is  an  adver- 
tisement in  these  pages  that  will  take  you  to  it 
— just  the  kind  you  want.

Friendly  Advice 
from  Carolyn  Van  JVyck 


Her  Letter 


DEAR  MISS  VAN  WYCK: 
Petting  is  my  biggest  problem.    The 
boys  all  seem  to  do  it  and  don't  seem  to 
come  back  if  you  don't  do  it  also.    We  girls  are 
all  at  our  wits'  end  to  know  what  to  do. 

All  the  boys  want  to  pet.  I've  been  out  with 
nearly  fifty  different  ones  and  every  one  does  it. 
I  thought  sometimes  it  was  my  fault  but  when  I 
tried  hardest  to  keep  from  it  they  were  all  the 
worse.  As  yet  I've  never  been  out  with  anyone 
that  got  beyond  my  control.  It  may  sound 
simple,  but  the  minute  I  say  that  it  is  mean  to 
take  advantage  because  they  are  stronger  they 
all  seem  to  respect  my  wishes.  I've  tried  get- 
ting mad  but  it  doesn't  do  any  good. 

I  don't  seem  to  know  what  I  want  out  of  life. 
I  want  the  thrills.    I  get  a  kick  out  of  petting 
and  I  think  all  girls  do  no  matter  how  much 
they  deny  it.    What's  to  be  done?    The 
boys  all   like  it  and   I  can't  seem  to 
make  myself  dislike  it  and  am  not  afraid 
of  any  of  the  men  I  know.    Yet  older 
people  say,  "Don't  do  it."    Is  it  just  be- 
cause they  are  older  and  forget  how  they 
felt?    I  don't  want  it  if  it  really  is  wrong. 

It  makes  me  wonder  how  on  earth  you 
are  to  get  a  husband  who  respects  you 
because  you  don't  pet  if  you  get  turned 
down  everytime  because  you  won't,  be- 
fore they  have  time  to  appreciate  your 
sterling  qualities.  I'm  quite  sure  that  I 
don't  want  to  marry  anyone  who  is  too 
slow  to  want  to  pet.  But  I  want  to  dis- 
cover what  is  right. 

Please  help  me. 


shocking  the  older  generation,  I  must  say  that 
I  see  this  not  so  much  as  a  struggle  between 
right  and  wrong  as  a  judgment  between  good 
and  bad  values.  Petting  is  of  the  moment.  It 
is  feverish  and  hectic  and  in  more  cases  than 
any  of  us  are  willing  to  admit,  disastrous  to  a 
girl's  whole  life. 

It  depends,  then,  on  what  one  wants  from 
life  and  the  part  one  wants  men  to  take  in  that 
life.  If  a  girl  is  husband  hunting,  she  must 
proceed  very  carefully  and  seriously,  "as  wise 
as  a  serpent  and  as  soft  as  a  dove."  If  she  is 
after  a  career  and  only  wants  men  sandwiched 
into  that  career  from  time  to  time,  she  can  be 
much  more  casual  in  her  contacts  with  the  op- 
posite sex.  If  she  wants  only  the  thrill,  the 
petting  and  necking  parties,  the  hip  flasks  and 
the  parked  car  in  the  dark,  that's  up  to  her. 
But  oh,  what  a  shame  to  cheapen  love  so 
greatly,  to  pull  it  down  on  the  level  of  choco-

"Petting"  is  the  modern  term  that  has  re- 
placed mother's  "spooning"  and  grand- 
mother's "sparking"  and  great-grandmother's 
"courting."  Each  term,  it  seems  to  me,  is  in 
itself  indicative  of  the  change  in  mood,  the  loss 
of  romance  in  the  approach  between  girl  and 
boy  to  the  reality  of  love. 

In  the  last  analysis,  petting  or  spooning,  or 
what  you  will,  is  the  attempt  to  bridge  the  sex 
barrier.  It  should  lead  to  marriage  and  life 
long  happiness  between  husband  and  wife. 
Bui  it  doesn't   always.     That's  the  trouble. 

Actually  considering  whether  to  pet  or  not 
i-  like  realizing  that  one's  home  would  make  a 
lovely  bonfire  and  then  considering  whether  to 

I  urn  off  the  blinds  for  a  neat  little  blaze,  or  to 

have  a  bigger  blaze  by  burning  the  blinds  and 
the  porches  or  to  have  one  marvelous  Bre  by 

burning  down  the  whole  place.  True,  the 
house  will  be  gone  and  there  will  be  nothing 
but  scorched  lingers  to  remember  the  color  of 
the  flames  and  the  heat.  Hut  one  w  ill  have  had 
the  I  brill  of  desl  ruction  and  made  a  hit  with  the 
neighl  ors  by  lighting  up  the  horizon. 

I   think  petting  is  like  that.     At   the  risk  of 


late  sodas,  and  French  pastry  and  chiffon  hose, 
things  from  which  one  gets  a  momentary  thrill 
of  nonsensical  indulgence  and  nothing  more. 

There  is  so  much  more  than  that  in  love  and 
life.  It  seems  to  me  much  better  to  be  known 
as  a  flat  tire  and  keep  romance  in  one's  mind 
than  to  be  called  a  hot  date  and  have  fear  in 
one's  heart. 

To  pet  or  not  to  pet.  The  choice  is  up  to 
every  girl.  Choose  wisely,  then.  Try  not  to 
let  the  glitter  of  the  moment  keep  you  from  the 
gold  of  life.

Daintiness  is  yours  for  the  working.  It  de- 
mands absolute  cleanliness,  of  body  and  cos- 
tume, perfect  grooming  of  hair,  manicured 
nails,  a  clear  skin  kept  free  from  shininess.  and 
all  of  that  means  work.  It  will  repay  you, 
however,  no  matter  how  much  time  you  ex- 
pend. As  for  self-consciousness  and  not  know- 
ing what  to  say.  remember  this.  Almost 
everyone  is  shy  and  equally  nearly  everyone  is 
at  loss  for  exactly  the  right  speech  at  the  right 
moment.  Therefore,  your  speech  will  probably 
be  as  good  as  the  next  person's.  Trust  your 
own  unspoken  thought.  Trust  yourself  and  be 
yourself.  Improve  your  mind  so  that  you  arc 
conversant  with  several  topics.  Ask  questions. 
It  i>  one  of  the  simplest  ways  of  opening  a  con- 
versation and  of  interesting  the  other  person. 


for  everyone  likes  to  talk  al  out  himself.  Be 
sweet  and  generous  in  your  judgments,  but  if 
you  simply  can't  learn  to  talk  in  social  en- 
counters comfort  yourself  with  the  knowledge 
that  quietness  has  a  charm  all  its  own.  particu- 
larly if  you  use  it  to  make  other  people  chatter. 

Annabeix  Lee. 

I  think  it  would  be  nice  of  you  to  ask  your 
friend  to  come  and  xisit  you  some  evening  at 
your  own  home.  Be  sincere  and  natural  with 
him.  Your  height  is  a  fine  height.  You're  not 
a  bit  too  tall. 

La  Vetta  J. 

By  "golden-brown"  I  suppose  you  mean 
you  are  a  pronounced  blonde.  You  can  wear 
black  of  high  lustre,  oyster  white,  dark  brown 
and  bronze,  pale  and  dark  green,  navy  blue, 
gray,  violet  and  wistaria,  yellow  and  the  delicate 
shades  of  pink.  With  your  height  and 
slenderness.  you  can  wear  any  styles  you 
desire.  The  best  rule  for  smartness  is 
simplicity.  "Harper's  Bazaar"  and 
"Vogue"  will  give  you  the  latest  style  in- 
formation. Forclearing  the  skin,  simplify 
your  diet,  leaving  out  greasy  food, 
candy,  pastry,  and  substituting'  green 
vegetables  and  a  certain  amount  of 
roughage  like  uncooked  fruit,  nuts  and 
salads.  Get  plenty  of  fresh  air.  Take  a 
daily  bath — this  is  an  absolute  neces- 
sity— drink  at  least  S  glasses  of  water 
daily,  and  get  a  reasonable  amount  of 
exercise.  Don't  worry  about  your  arms. 
You're  still  growing.  Madame  Ruben- 
stein's  cold  creams,  vanishing  creams  and 
similar  beauty  materials  are  excellent. 

Green  Lyes. 
You    should    lose    anywhere    from 

twenty  to  thirty  pounds.  Send  me  a 
stamped,  self-addressed  envelope  and  I'll  send 
you  printed  instructions  for  dieting  and  ex- 
ercise.

If  a  girl  cannot  be  1  eautiful,  there  arc  scores 
of  more  lasting  ways  in  which  she  can  win 
affection.  She  can  improve  her  mind,  and  win 
friends  by  her  intelligence.  Or  she  can  make 
friendships  because  oi  her  charm  and  sympa- 
thy, her  ability  to  listen,  her  kindliness — any 
one  of  a  dozen  things. 

Don't  feel  so  sensitive,  my  dear,  that 
you  are  the  least  pretty  member  of  a 
1  eautiful  family. 

Of  course,  you  can  get  over  being  round 
shouldered,  and  you  must  learn  to  dress  your 
lovely  hair  in  a  becoming  manner. 

Don't  be  shy  about  your  glasses.  Xo  nice 
boy  will  think  any  the  less  of  you  because  you 
are  near  sighted,  and  your  friend  wouldn't 
have  asked  you  to  go  to  the  theater  with  him 
except  that  he  wanted  your  company — not  the 
company  of  your  eyes.  The  preparation  you 
mention  is  highly  recommended  for  the  removal 
of  supertluous  hair.  T  have  every  reason  to  be- 
lieve it  is  perfectly  harmless.  Stop  being  a 
scared  little  girl.  Connie.  Co  swimming  when- 
ever you  want  to  and  get  every  bit  of  joy  out 
of  life  you  can.

"ONE   WOMAN   TELLS   ANOTHER" 


W  hen  the  A/lovies  Were  Young 


Linda   Griffith    in 

"'Charity,"    which    she 

wrote  herself 


W! 


■HEN  the 
Movies 
W  e  r  e 
Young." 
That  is  the  perfect  title 
for  this  book  that  every 
fan  will  want  to  read.  It 
was  written  bv  Mrs.  D. 
W.  Griffith  and  pub- 
lished, illustrated  with 
marvelous  old  stills  from 
earlv  Biograph  one-reel- 
ers.by  E.P.Dutton  &  Co. 

What  a  fine  job  Mrs. 
Griffith  has  made  of  it! 
She  knows  the  whole 
story,  of  course,  as  few 
people  do.  She  probably 
knows  it  better  than  D. 
\Y.,  himself,  since  he  was 
so  busy  creating  it  he 
could  scarcely  have  had  time  to  notice  the  sweep  of  it  all. 

It  covers  only  a  scrap  of  time,  the  years  between  1905  and 
the  production  of  "The  Birth  of  a  Nation."  But  millions  of 
miles  of  film  have  flowed  out  of  the  camera  since  then  and 
Hollywood  has  been  created  and  many,  many  millions  of 
dollars. 

The  Griffiths  went  into  the  movies  because  they  either  had 
to  do  that  or  starve.  They  had  met,  Linda  Arvidson  and 
"Lawrence"  Griffith,  when  they  were  both  playing  stock  in  San 
Francisco.  They  were  romantic  and  young  and  inexperienced. 
They  had  nothing  in  the  world  to  depend  upon.  So  they  got 
married. 


Those  days  of  1908.     The  offended  young  thing  is  our  Mary. 
Mack   Sennett   is   her   avenger.      The   other   girl   is   Marion 

Sunshine 


The  greatest  director's  wife  has  written 

her  own  story  of  tin-  magic  early  days 

of  the  most  romantic  industry 


They  bad  hope,  «>!'  course,  mu<  h  hope.    And  a  typewriter. 
The  two  things  in  combination  saved  their  li 

Broadway  would  bave  none  oi  them.    They  'lid  the  i 
big  agencies  faithfully.    All  they  got  was  worn-out  sfa 
But  at  night   they  both  worked  hard.     "Lawrence" — he 
would  call  himself  that,  though  Linda  protested  in  favor  of 
his  baptismal   David  Wark  plays  and  poems  and 

Linda  tj  ped  them  for  him.    Once  in  a  green  moon  some  oi 
this  literarj  output  sold. 

rhenonedaj  David  heard  of  the  Biograph  company  d 
in  Fourteenth  Street,    lie  told  Linda  and  thereafter,  ever  .so 
often,  they  had  a  wonderful  day  in  which  the)  both  earned 
three  dollars  and   caught    up,   temporarily,   with   their  ap- 
petites. 

They  didn't  mention  this  movie  work.  Not  on  your  lite. 
Every  actor  and  actress  who  ever  played  before  the  oamera 
in  those  dark  ages  of  1906  kept  quiet  about  it.  The  very 
movie  Studios  Were  ashamed  of  themselves  and  let  their  a<  tors 
off  periodically  to  hunt  the  casting  agencies  uptown,  hoping 
that  the  poor  things  could  get  a  respectable  engagement. 
Here  is  where  the  quality  for  greatness  in  Griffith  showed. 

I  le  didn't  like  the  work, 
lie  was  humiliated  about 
it.  Yet  he  took  interest 
in  it,  tried  to  improve  it 
and  to  work  faithfully. 
For  one  thing  he  sold  the 
company  scenario-,  for 
SI 5  apiece.  A  one-reel 
version  of  "When 
K.  night  hood  Wa  -  1  tl 
Flower"  was  done  with  a 
cast  of  five.  He  and 
Linda  were  two  of  them. 
The  result  was  that  when 
Wallv  McCutcheon,  son 
of  "Old  Man  McCutch- 
eon,"thesamcW'allv  who 
later  married  Pearl 
White,  wanted  to  shift 
the  responsibility  of  the 
studio  from  his  own 
shoulders  he  slipped  it 
on   D.  W.'s 

"Lawrence"  Griffith 
had  his  chance.  Not  that 
he  wanted  that  chance 
particularly.  He  wanted 
to  be  a  writer.  Instead, 
he  was  forced  to  be  a 
director.  He  and  Linda 
went  on,  because  they 
had  to,  little  dreaming 
that  they  had  stubbed 
their  toes  on  a  veritable  pot  of  gold.    " 

Hunting  up  and  down  Broadway,  Griffith  would  say  to  an 
actor,  "Well,  how  about  it?  If  you're  hanging  about,  how 
would  you  like  to  work  with  me  a  bit?" 

Polite  and  evasive  would  be  the  reply.  "Well,  you  see.  I'm 
awfully  busy  now,  have  several  offers  and — well,  when  I'm 
signed  up,  I'll  drop  around  again." 

Can  you  imagine  what  an  actor  would  say  to  Griffith  today? 

Yet,  somehow,  a  little  company  grew  up  in  the  studio.     A 

slim  little  girl  with  a  pretty  white  dress  was  put  to  work  one 

day — because  of  the  white  dress.    She  was  Jeanie  Macpherson. 

On  the  regular  list  were  Eddie  [  continued  on  page  ijo  ]

That  Dorothy  Mackaill  was  the

That  Hollywood  people  went  to 
bed  earlier  than  any  group  he'd  ever 
met,  because  every  dinner  party  he 
attended  broke  up  about  ten,  in  view 
of  the  united  yawns  of  the  guests  and

That  Colleen  Moore  was  the  most

screen  was  a  typical  young  American 
business  man,  husband  and  father. 

That  the  making  of  the  chariot 
race  scenes  from  "  Ben-Hur"  was  the 
most  exciting  event  he  had  ever  wit-

That  most  of  the  people  he  met 
were  amazingly  simple  and  natural 
in  view  of  the  immense  salaries  and 
endless  flattery  they  received. 

That  Jack  Gilbert  would  be  the

But  then  if  Xovarro  won't  rave 
about  Xovarro,  Herb  Howe  will. 
There's  a  Boswell  for  you. 

" T\  THY  doesn't  Howe  write  about 
*^  somebody    besides    Xovarro, 

Alice  Terry,  Bool  Montana,  Farina. 

Rex    Ingram,    Malcolm    McGregor, 

Pola    Negri,    Corinne    Griffith    and 

Tony  Moreno?"  queries  a  querulous 

reader. 

1   answer  that   the  only  reason   I 

know  is  that  Howe  wears  a  high  hat 

in  Hollywood  and  is  too  lazy  to  meet 

anybody  else. 

But   somehow   or   other   the   lad 

seems  to  get  by.

HIS   SECRETARY 


If  you  are  a  Norma  Shearer  fan  — 

And  who  isn't? 

You  have  a  new  thrill  coming  to  you 

When  you  see  "His  Secretary." 

For,  with  their  usual  discrimination, 

Metro-Gold  wyn-Mayer 

Chose  a  story  that  gave  Norma 

Real  opportunity  to  display  her  genius 

And  she  did! 

From  start  to  finish 

Her  superb  acting  in  this  picture  establishes  her 

As  a  star  of  planetary  proportions. 

You  must  see  her! 

And  then  there's  Lew  Cody 

And  Willard  Louis, 

HOBART  Henley's  super  direction 

And  a  whale  of  a  story  by  Carey  Wilson. 

In  short 

It's  a  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  Picture 

In  every  respect — 

And  you  know  what  that  means!

The  HAND 

He  Loves  to  Hold 

For  his  sake,  keep  it  always  at  its 
loveliest — skin  satinysoft,  alluring; 
nails  beaming  with  the  shell-pink 
glow  that  whispers  breeding  and 
refinement. 

It's  easy  enough,  nowadays,  to  keep 
your  hands  a  treasure  in  his  eyes. 
For  Glazo  brings  the  lovely  nails  you 
want,  without  the  tedious  buffing 
of  the  past.  Just  a  touch  with  the 
handy  Glazo  brush,  a  moment's  dry 
ing — and  nails  are  changed  to  lovely 
pearls;  exactly  the  right  glow  and 
shade  the  chic  Parisienne  affects. 
And  only  once  a  wee\  is  even  this 
slight  attention  required,  for  Glazo 
does  not  crack,  ridge  or  peel,  nor  is 
it  marred  by  repeated  rinsing  in  soap 
and  water.  It  protects  the  nails  and 
always  keeps  them  firm,  pliant  and 
beautiful. 

Separate  Remover  for 
Perfect  Results 

Glazo  is  the  original  Liquid  Polish. 
It  comes  complete  with  separate  re- 
mover which  not  only  insures  bet- 
ter results,  but  prevents  the  waste 
that  occurs  when  the  Polish  itself 
is  used  as  a  remover. 

Stop  at  your  favorite  toilet  goods  counter 
today  and  get  the  Gla:o  package.  I  twill  mean 
lovely  nails  always,  with  the  minimum  of 
exertion  and  expense.  50c  at  all  counters.

handsome  a  man  as  ever  walked  the  streets  of 
Hollywood— which  is  saying  a  good  deal — but 
I  have  never  seen  a  photograph  of  him  that 
anywhere  near  did  him  justice. 

The  sad  part  of  it  is  that  this  isn't  because 
George  doesn't  photograph  well.  He's  a  great 
camera  subject.  The  reason  is  that  he's  so 
shy,  so  painfully  shy,  that  he  can't  pose  before 
a  still  camera  without  doing  all  the  tricks  that 
you  and  I  and  Cousin  Jane  and  Uncle  John  do. 
When  he  gets  in  action,  he  forgets  about  it. 
But  before  a  still  camera  he  becomes  as  self- 
conscious  and  bashful  as  a  country  bridegroom 
or  a  high  school  valedictorian. 

CHE  was  very  young  and  very  in- 
^experienced.  She  had  just  been 
signed  to  a  lucrative  contract  and  was 
suffering  her  first  interview. 

Said  the  reporter:  "I  understand 
you  have  a  new  home.  In  what 
period  is  it  furnished?  Elizabethan? 
Byzantine?    Renaissance?" 

A  deep  wrinkle  puzzled  the  fair 
brow  of  the  newest  star — and  then 
she  smiled  sweetly  and  replied: 

"Metro-Goldwyn!" 

HE'S  a  regular  boy  .  .  .  that  man-child 
of  mine." 

It  was  Bill  Hart  talking  about  his  little  son, 
Bill,  Jr.  Not  the  Bill  we  see  on  the  screen, 
flourishing  two  guns  and  with  grim  face,  but 
the  Bill  who  is  the  father  ...  a  lonely 
father. 

"Not  a  bit  like  a  baby — and  he's  only  three. 
Why,  the  other  day  his  nurse  brought  him  in  1o 
pay  me  a  visit.  I  don't  see  him  very  often,  you 
know,  and  I  guess  I  was  pretty  well  shaken. 
When  he  was  ready  to  leave,  I  said:  'Bill, 
aren't  you  going  to  kiss  your  daddy  good-bye? ' 

"Bill  looked  at  me  ...  a  real  little  man. 
and  said:  'I  will  if  you  promise  not  to  cry 
again.'  " 

JUST  everybody  was  at  Mrs.  Clarence 
Brown's  luncheon — the  one  she  gave  for 
Norma  Talmadge  before  Norma  commenced 
her  new  picture  "Kiki"  which  ]\Ir.  Brown  is  to 
direct.  Norma  was  in  an  oakwood  colored 
duvetyn  frock  with  fitch  fur  cuffs  and  collar: 
Connie  wore  black  satin  with  monkey  fur; 
Delores  del  Rio  was  clad  in  a  deep  wine-colored 
flat  crepe  that  made  her  creamy  skin  abso- 
lutely luscious;  Yilma  Bank},-,  in  softest  pink, 
talked  of  her  brother  Julius  who  is  to  join  her  in 
Hollywood. 

Leatrice  Joy  wore  a  stunning  yellow  frock — a 
a  trophy  of  her  recent  New  York  trip;  Mildred 
Davis  Lloyd,  Pauline  Frederick.  Mrs.  Antonio 
Moreno,  Miss  Hope  boring,  Mrs.  Karlc  Wil- 
liams, Miss  Ruth  Collier,  Mrs.  John  Ford,  Mrs. 
Jack  Mulhall,  Mrs.  Carey  Wilson,  all  in  mid- 
winter fashions  and  hues  ranging  from  our  own 
somber  Hollywood  hills  to  brightest  sea  blue. 

Xorma's  favor  was  a  fuzzy  carrot-topped 
French  doll  with  a  wide  skirt  that  flirted  dis- 
gracefully about  her  eel-like  black  legs.  And 
Norma,  of  course,  immediately  dubbed  the 
doll  "Kiki.'' 

Connie  received  a  candy-box-doll  with  a 
flippantly  frilled  skirt  .  .  .  "because,"  said 
Mrs.  Brown,  "Connie  can  indulge  in  all 
the  candy  she  wants  and  never  gain  a  pound  " 
Pretty  Dresden  ladies  with  powdered  wigs  hid 
fleecy  powder  puffs  and  pin  cushions  beneath 
their  voluminous  skirts  as  favors  to  other 
luncheon  guests. 

And  there  was  a  fortune  teller  who  pre- 
dicted everything  from  fat  contracts  to  new 
husbands  as  the  occasion  demanded,  a  Ha- 
waiian orchestra  and  a  devastating  Charleston 
dancer. 


CAT  next  to  Ernst  Lubitsch.  the  famous 
^director,  at  supper  the  other  night  and  was 
tremendously  impressed  by  some  of  the  things 
he  had  to  say  about  pictures. 

There  is  no  man  in  motion  pictures  today 
who  spends  more  time  thinking  about  them  as 
a  whole,  than  Lubitsch. 

He  was  overcome  with  admiration  for  "The 
Big  Parade"  for  one  thing. 

"A  picture  like  that,"  he  said,  "does  us  all 
good.  It  raises  the  whole  standard  of  the  art. 
It  renews  and  reawakens  people's  faith  in 
pictures. 

"It  is  a  universal  picture,  an  international 
picture." 

But  he  wept  anew  over  Pola  Negri  and  what 
is  happening  to  her  in  her  American  made 
pictures.  Lubitsch,  of  course,  directed  her  in 
"Passion."  which  first  won  her  great  fame  in 
this  country. 

"But  they  can  never  make  Pola  popular  in 
Pollyanna  pictures."  he  said.  "They  can 
never  win  for  her  an  audience  or  a  following 
except  the  one  that  loved  her  in  'Passion.' 
But  now  they  try  to  make  her  popular  with  all 
kinds  and  so  she  falls  between  and  pleases 
nobody. 

"Let  them  put  her  in  the  right  stories,  and 
she  will  always  hold  her  own,  for  she  is  a 
great  artist. 

"But  she  is  not  for  everybody's  tastes,  and 
they  cannot  make  her  so." 

TMRMINGHAM.  Ala.,  went  mad  over  May 
-'-'Allison  when  she  went  there  on  location  to 
make  "Men  of  Steel."  with  Milton  Sills  and 
Doris  Kenyon.  She  was  feted  by  the  society 
leaders  of  the  city,  covered  herself  with  glory 
when  she  addressed  the  Rotary  Club  which 
made  her  their  guest  of  honor  during  her  stay, 
judged  a  Charleston  contest  in  Birmingham's 
largest  auditorium,  was  proposed  to  by  one  of 
of  the  city's  multi-millionaires,  and  lived  in  a 
suite  at  the  Tutwiler  Hotel  which  was  turned 
into  a  conservatory  by  the  many  floral  offerings 
to  her  charm  and  beauty.  Birmingham  was 
proud  of  its  native  daughter  and  wanted  the 
world  to  know  it. 

TNCIDENTALLY  May  shakes  a  mean 
-^■Charleston  herself  in  the  picture.  In  her  role, 
as  the  daughter  of  the  steel  magnate,  she 
travels  in  a  private  car  and  puts  on  a  party  at 
which  she  demonstrates  the  dance  to  her 
guests.  She  claims  the  Charleston  is  the  best 
reducer  she  ever  heard  of.  although  she  1  idn't 
happen  to  need  it  at  the  time. 

In  the  picture  there  was  written  in  a  scene 
showing  Milton  Sills  carrying  her  across  run- 
ways of  molten  metal.  One  slip  meant  death. 
The  light  was  bad  on  the  first  attempt,  but  the 
superintendent  of  the  steel  mills  refused  to  per- 
mit a  second.  Too  dangerous,  he  said.  More 
than  one  workman  had  been  killed  trying  it. 

JUST  a  sister  to  him,  that's  all.  Thus  Mae 
Murray  replied  to  questions  concerning  her 
and  Rudolph  Valentino  when  she  tripped  down 
the  Majestic  gangplank  on  her  return  from 
Germany. 

Yes.  they  hail  seen  a  good  deal  of  each  other 
abroad — in  fact,  they  had  made  a  ten-day  trip 
together  from  Paris  to  Berlin.  But  as  for 
romance  between  them — "Aren't  you  funny!" 
smiled  Mae  to  the  reporters. 

But  the  romantic  possibilities  of  the  merry 
widow  are  too  good  to  be  disregarded.  Mae's 
comments  on  the  rumor  of  a  reunion  between 
her  and  Bob  Leonard  are  delightfully  vague. 
"He  was  a  wonderful  husband,  but  we  just 
couldn't  get  along — then."  she  said. 

She  has  nothing  at  all  to  say  regarding  the 
rumored  engagement  of  Leonard  and  Gertrude 
Olmsted.

Here's  a  Gift 

Just  send  coupon  for  full  10-day  tube  of  this 

new  way  to  dazzling,  white  teeth 

and  firm,  healthy  gums 


HERE'S  a  little  test  that  you'll 
enjoy  making.  It  makes  teeth 
white  and  gleaming. 

It  your  teeth  are  "off-color"  and 
dull,  it  doesn't  mean  they  are  natu- 
rally that  way.  They  are  simply 
film  coated.  And  what  you  find  when 
that  film  goes  will  surprise  you. 

Note  the  difference  in  the  color  of 
your  teeth.  Mark,  too,  how  much 
firmer  your  gums  become. 

FILM. . .  the  great  enemy  of 

healthy  teeth\and  gums 

Run  your  tongue  across  your  teeth, 
and  you  will  feel  a  film,  a  viscous 
coat  that  covers  them. 

That  film  is  an  enemy  to  your 
teeth — and  your  gums.  You  must 
remove  it. 

It  clings  to  teeth,  gets  into  crev- 
ices and  stays.  It  absorbs  discolora- 
tions  and  gives  your  teeth  that 
cloudy  "off-color"  look.    Germs  by 


the  millions  breed  in  it  and  lay  your 
teeth  open  to  decay.  And  they,  with 
tartar,  are  a  chief  cause  of  pyorrhea 
and  gum  disorders. 

Tooth  troubles  and  gum  troubles 
now  are  largely  traced  to  that  film. 
That's  why,  regardless  of  tlte  care  you 
take  noiv,  your  teeth  remain  dull  and 
unattractive. 

New  methods  remove  it 
And  Firm  the  Gums 

Now,  in  a  new-type  dentifrice  called 
Pepsodent,  dental  science  has  dis- 
covered effective  combatants.  Their 
action  is  to  curdle  the  film  and  re- 
move it,  then  to  firm  the  gums. 

What  you  see  when  that  film  is 
removed  —  the  whiteness  of  your 
teeth — will  amaze  you.

Josephine  Norman  is  cne  of  the 
reasons  why  magazines  are  bought 
on  face  value.  Before  getting  a  job 
in  the  galloping  gelatins,  Josephine 
was  a  model  for  Neysa  McMein 
and  has  been  on  magazine  covers 
galore.  She  is  in  "The  Road  to 
Yesterday"  and  a  new  P.  D.  C. 
picture  called  "Fifth  Avenue" 


phone  Girl  Series,"  was  married  to  the  hand- 
some young  director  of  the  switchboard  series. 

The  wedding  is  the  result  of  a  romance  that  is 
rivaled  only  by  some  of  our  1  est  sellers. 

The  scene  was  a  dusty  country  road  with  a 
careening  motor  car  going  at  top-notch  speed 
and  little  Gertrude  bouncing  about  in  the  back 
seat  like  a  pea  in  a  skillet.  The  camera  ground. 
Director  Pembroke  watched  and  suddenly  the 
car  struck  a  rock  in  the  road  and  rolled* over 
with  poor  Gertie  pinioned  Lcneath  it. 

Pembroke  carried  Gertrude's  liirp  body  to 
his  car  and  held  her  in  his  arms  all  the  lorg  ride 
home — in  quite  the  approved  romantic  fashion 
— and  Mrs.  Short  told  me  he  never  left  the 
house  during  the  long  night  while  the  doctors 
battled  for  Gertrude's  life. 

After  that  there  were  those  days  of  con- 
valescence— and  gentle  ministrations  to  the 
sick,  you  know — followed  by  the  wedding. 

THERF.'S  one  advantage  about  one's 
husband  owning  a  hotel.''  said  Kstelle 
Taylor  as  she  daintily  nibbled  a  toasted  sand- 
wich in  her  dressing  room  at  Warner  Brothers 
studio,  where  she  is  appearing  in  "Don  Juan." 
"Von  can  have  your  luncheon  sent  to  you  and 
be  assured  of  the  best  of  everything!" 

Jack  Dempsey,  Estelle's  spouse,  owns  the 
Santa  Barbara  Hotel,  you  know,  one  of  Los 
Angeles'  finest.  Pity  the  poor  woiking  gal  who 
has  her  lunch  sent  from  home! 

ONE  oi  the  most  interesting  motion  picture

silent  drama— the  greatest  showman  the  west 
has  ever  know  a, 

More  than  coo  men,  all  outstanding  figures 
in  Los  Angeles  art,  creative  and  political  life, 
were  present.  And  however  high  theii  | h»- ii  imi, 
none  bore  any  magic  charm  to  withstand  the 
darting  shafts  ol  humor  and  irony  incessantly 
showered  upon  them. 

Through  the  medium  of  speech,  pantomime 
and  burlesque,  the  foibles  ol  the  great  and  neat 
great  were  held  up  to  pitiless  scrutiny.  The 
opening  laugh  of  the  evening  came  when  all  the 
members  of  the  Wampas  made  tlu-ir  appeal 
ance  adorned  with  wi^s,  in  imitation  ol  Grau 
man's  flowing  locks. 

From  the  devastating  fire  of  lampooner] 
launched  by  Rupert   Hughes,  Donald  Ogden 

Stewart  ami  other  speakers,  came  the  sudden 

dramatic  appearance  of  Mrs.  D.  J.  Grauman, 

mother  of  the  guest  of  honor,  on  a  bahoin 
above  the  main   ballroom  of   the  hotel       llei 

appearance  followed  the  presentation  of  a  lite 

pass  to  all  1  on  Angeles  theaters  by  Joe  Jackson, 
in  behalf  of  the  Wampas. 

Rupert  Hughes  was  toastmaster  and  was 
introduced  by  Harry  Brand,  president  of  the 
Wampas.  Donald  Ogden  Stewart  was  the 
first  speaker  introduced,  and  other  speakers 
were  Edgar  Kde  Burroughs;  Wedgewood 
Nowell,  representative  of  Actors'  Equity;  Lew 
Cody,  representing  the  actors;  William  Beau- 
dine,  of  the  Directors  Association;  Fred  Beetson, 
representing  the  Hayes  organization;  (i.  G, 
Young,  on  behalf  of  the  I.os  Angeles  Publishers 
Assoi  iation.  All  paid  high  tribute  to  Grauman 
as  a  man  and  as  an  artist. 

Among  those  introduced  to  the  audience  by- 
Mr.  Hughes  were:  Jack  Dempsey,  Charles 
Spencer  Chaplin,  Tom  Mix,  Ronald  Colman, 
Alfred  Green,  Clarence  Brown,  Buster  Keaton, 
Lefty  Flynn,  Harry  M.  Bowles.  John  McCor-

Interesting,  but  casual,  says  the  picture  fan. 
Who  is  Mrs.  Albert  Wylie  Mather?  Ah! 
there's  the  news. 

The  other  morning  in  San  Francisco  Dorothy 
Devore,  pretty  piquant  funster  of  the  dims, 
became  the  bride  of  a  well-known  theatrical 
owner  of  San  Francisco  and  Honolulu,  and 
after  the  ceremony  Dorothy  firmly  announced 
that  she  was  going  to  retire  from  the  films. 

RUDY  seems  to  be  going  in  for  bargain  sales 
now. 
One  hundred  and  sixty  dollars  is  all  his  Pari- 
sian divorce  cost  him.     And  they  usually  cost 
about  85,000. 

But  the  lawyer  who  got  the  Valentino 
divorce  was  not  aware  that  his  client  was  the 
Sheik  of  Oxnard  and  points  south,  and  mistak- 
ing the  lengthy  sideburns  and  long  locks  of 
artistry  for  signs  of  a  slim  purse,  we  presume, 
he  sliced  the  legal  bill  with  a  generous  knife. 

ALL  motion  picture  stars  have  hobbies. 
1  vAnd  Bob  Frazer  has  a  yen  for  collecting  old 
swords,  sabers  and  guns. 

He  has  short-barreled  derringers,  dirty- 
looking  dirks,  death-dealing  poniards  and  sin-

cavalry  saber  which  is  engraved  with  the  coat 
of  arms  of  France  and  bears  the  initials  "R.F." 
— Republic  of  France. 

The  other  night  Bob  was  displaying  it  with 
his  usual  pride,  when  one  little  miss,  who  had 
apparently  slept  through  many  history  classes, 
exclaimed:

Ihe  Ankles  are  the  Same — 

The  Stockings  are  Different! 

THE  searching  glance  of  Fashion  would  center  unerringly 
upon  the  trim  slenderness  of  the  ankles  at  the  left.  And 
just  as  unerringly  would  it  skip  the  rather  ordinary  lines  of 
the  ankles  at  the  right.  Yet  the  ankles  in  both  pictures  are 
the  same. 

The  answer,  so  obvious  to  the  woman  who  appreciates  the  im- 
portance of  the  little  things  in  dress,  is  that  the  tapering  lines  of  the 
reinforced  "Pointex"  heel,  like  the  vertical  stripes  of  a  dress  fabric, 
SUGGEST  slenderness.  "Onyx  Pointex"  stockings  are  skillfully  fashioned 
to  emphasize  trim  smartness  of  ankle  where  that  quality  is  a  natural 
virtue — to  simulate  it  where  it  is  lacking. 

All  the  subtle  shades  of  spring  in  little  "Onyx"-red  boxes,  behind

Avoid  Gray  Hair 

as  these  women  do 


No  need  now  to  grow  old  before  your  tinv — to  allow 
gray,  faded  or  unbecomingly  bleached  hair  to  age 
you.  For  Brownatonc,  used  so  successfully  for 
years  by  thousands  of  women  throughout  the 
United  States  and  Canada,  brightens  and  beautifies 
— tints  any  shade.  Mrs.  A.  B.  Jordan  of  Woodland, 
W.  Va.,  who  has  used  Brownatone  satisfactorily  for 
several  years,  remarks  that  "No  gray  haired 
woman  can  afford  to  let  such  a  golden  oppor- 
tunity go  by  as  Brownatone  offers.  I  recom- 
mend it  to  any  one." 


I  * 


The  antiseptic  qualities  of  Brownatone  are  assur- 
ance of  its  perfect  safety.  So  there's  no  need  to  fear 
results.  Brownatone  is  guaranteed  to  be  absolutely 
harmless  to  hair  growth  or  skin.  Mrs.  Marie  James 
of  339  Nixon  Street,  Biloxi,  Miss.,  even  remarks 
that  "When  I  started  using  Brownatone,  six 
years  ago,  my  hair  was  thin  and  short.  But 
now  it  is  beautifully  long  and  heavy.  I  like 
my  hair  a  chestnut  brown,  and  have  had  no 
difficulty  in  getting  it  the  right  shade,  since 
using  Brownatone.  I  must  say  it  is  a  wonder- 
ful tint  for  gray  and  faded  hair." 


As  Brownatone  permeates  each  entire  hair  itself,  it 
cannot  rub  off  or  wash  out.  There's  no  interference 
whatsoever  with  shampooing — or  even  with  perma- 
nent waving,  marcelling  or  scalp  treatments.  For 
the  color  is  lasting.  You  need  apply  it  again  only  as 
the  hair  grows.  And  it  is  so  simple  to  use  that  you 
can  apply  it  yourself  at  home.  Merely  brush  the 
color  through.  Which  is,  of  course,  one  reason  why 
Dora  Paserk  of  8811  St.  Catherine  Avenue,  Cleve- 
land, Ohio,  says,  "I  prefer  Brownatone  to  any 
other  hair  tint  I  have  ever  used." 


There  are  two  colors  in  Brownatone  from  which  any 
shade  may  be  obtained — one  from  Blonde  to  Me- 
dium Brown;  the  other  Dark  Brown  to  Black.  Sold 
at  drug  and  toilet  counters  everywhere,  50  cents  and 
$1.50.  Use  Brownatone  and  you  will  say  as  does 
Mrs.  R.  H.  Staeubli,  836  North  Lafayette  Park 
Place,  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  "It  j's  the  best  hair 
tint  1  ever  used."

TINTS    GRAY    HAIR   ANY    SHADE 


"Isn't  thai  perfectly  adorable!  Sec!  It 
says  'K.  F.'  on  the  Made.  .  .  .  Why,  Bob! 
they've  engraved  your  initials  on  il!" 

f\N  a  crisp  sunshiny  day  of  last  month  I 
^■'drove  over  to  -Monrovia  to  see  one  of  the 
bravest  girls  of  pictures.  I  can't  say  ''in  pic- 
tures,"  because  now  she  is  far  from  that  glam- 
orous world,  in  a  sphere  of  little  white  beds, 
ever-watchful  attendance  and  the  cool,  clear 
air  from  the  mountains  blowing  perpetually 
through  her  sunlit  room. 

The  girl  is  Dorothy  Seastrom  and  she  is  a 
patient  at  Dr.  Potinger's  Sanatorium.  Dor- 
othy— a  beautiful  tawny-haired  blonde  with 
decided  acting  ability — worked  for  several 
years  as  an  extra.  Worked — and  went  hungry 
when  she  didn't  work — in  an  effort  to  reach 
stardom.  Then  just  as  the  warmth  and  pro- 
tection of  a  five-year  First  National  contract 
was  proffered  her,  a  heavy  cold  sent  her  to 
.Monrovia. 

Unlike  the  Cinderella  tale,  the  contract  did 
not  evaporate  into  thin  air  when  her  zero  hour 
struck,  and  John  McCormick  of  First  National 
is  holding  it  for  her  in  his  safe.  And  I  really 
think  she  will  be  working  under  it  shortly,  so 
rapid  is  her  improvement. 

HpOM  MIX,  who  is  by  way  of  being  some- 
■L  thing  of  a  philosopher  and  who  has  seen  a 
lot  of  life,  tells  this  little  tale  as  a  commen- 
tary on  human  nature  in  general.  You  can 
laugh  or  cry  over  it  just  as  you  like. 

Tom  has  a  reputation  for  being  big-hearted, 
and  for  a  long  time  he  had  to  face  quite  a  prob- 
lem in  the  gang  that  gathered  outside  the 
studio  gates  every  day  to  "touch  him"  for 
eating  money.  He  found  he  was  making  quite 
a  sizable  donation  daily,  without  having  any 
real  idea  as  to  whether  it  was  doing  any  good. 
So  Tom  decided  to  make  a  little  different  ar- 
rangement. He  told  the  woman  who  ran  the 
Fox  cafeteria  that  he'd  send  the  boys  in  there 
for  a  square  meal,  instead  of  giving  them  the 
money,  and  she  could  send  the  check  to  him. 

The  next  day  a  big,  husky  youngster  ap- 
proached Tom  and  gave  him  a  typical  hard 
luck  story,  and  said  he  hadn't  had  a  square 
meal  for  a  couple  of  days  and  would  Tom  stake 
him  to  a  dollar?  So  Tom  put  the  new  rule  into 
operation.  He  sent  him  over  to  the  cafeteria. 
That  evening  his  secretary  brought  him  the 
check  to  sign  and  he  discovered  that  his  guest 
had  eaten  a  dollar  and  eighty-five  cents'  worth 
of  asparagus  tips! 

HOLLYWOOD  in  its  heedless  haste  left  him 
by  the  wayside,  forlorn,  save  for  his  small 
coterie  of  friends,  his  good  son  George  Archain- 
baud  and  his  books.  Hollywood — even  New 
York — had  once  lavished  their  sycophantic 
praise  on  him.  They  feted — and  forgot — him. 
But  now  he  is  to  be  again  in  the  arena  .  .  . 
a  subject  of  attraction. 

Emile  Chautard  is  to  play  Papj  Gorioi  in 
"Paris  at  Midnight, "  which  Frances  Marion 
is  to  produce  for  Metropolitan  release.  The 
great  Balzac  role  will  offer  an  opportunity  for 
dear  snowy-haired  Emile  Chautard  to  regain 
his  place  in  the  spotlight  where  he  rightly 
belongs. 

HF.  was  one  of  the  first  of  the  imported  direc- 
tors— coming  from  France — where  he  had 
been  for  twenty  years  M.ulame  Rejane's  lead- 
ing man.  In  an  almost  forgotten  French  pro- 
duction of  "Madame  Sans  Gene,"  he  gave  a 
memorable  interpretation  of  Napoleon,  and  he 
created  the  title  role  in  "Alias  Jimmy  Valen- 
tine."  Then  he  became  interested  in  the  cin- 
ema and  produced,  almost  thirteen  years  ago, 
the  first  version  of  "The  Merry  Widow"  in 
which  Maurice  Tourneur.  now  a  celebrated 
director,  played  a  leading  role. 

Chautard  came  to  America  and  was  heralded 
with  a  fanfare  of  publicity  .  .  .  an  all-impor- 
tant personage,  Emile  Chautard!  Xot  so  long 
ago  when  he  lived  in  quiet  obscurity,  he  and  I 
used  to  talk  over  those  glory-bedecked  days. 
He  directed  Pauline  Frederick,  Elsie  Ferguson 
and  Alice  Brady,     "I  could  not  speak  the  lan- 


guage," he  would  gesticulate,  words  still 
French-flavored,  "and  everyone  was  so  anxious 
to  learn  my  speech.     But  now  .  .  .  pouf!" 

That  was  a  year  ago.  Today  Emile  Chau 
tard  is  again  in  Hollywood's  fond  fancy. 

"YOU  are  a  low  hound." 

*  "You're  another!'-  retorted  Rudolph 
Yalentino.  according  to  a  Paris  correspondent, 
as  he  deftly  dodged  a  straight  left  and  dropped 
the  distinguished-looking  stranger  with  a 
powerful  right  hook. 

The  unexpected  encounter  took  place  at  the 
Mogador  Theater,  in  the  lobby,  just  after 
Yalentino  had  left  his  box  at  a  showing  of  "The 
Eagle."  Curious  onlookers  were  deprived  of 
seeing  a  sensational  fight  by  the  prompt  inter- 
vention of  Bel  tram  Masses,  the  Spanish 
painter,  who  sharply  reminded  the  combatants 
that  gentlemen  in  Paris  fight  only  with  swords 
or  pistols  on  the  field  of  honor. 

The  immediate  exchange  of  cards  revealed 
that  the  man  who  had  attacked  Yalentino  was 
the  Baron  Imre  Lukatz.  Budapest  millionaire, 
who  has  told  people  he  is  the  fiance  of  Yilma 
Banky.  Exasperated  by  Rudy's  love-making 
with  Yilma,  the  Baron  had  waited  for  Yalen- 
tino behind  a  pillar  in  the  lobby. 

Later,  while  Rudy  was  entertaining  a  party 
at  a  supper  club,  the  Polish  Count  Kourtzkow- 
ski  and  Baron  Kartisza  of  Budapest — seconds 
of  the  Baron  Imre  Lukatz — met  Yalentino's 
representatives.  Count  Sainte  Juste  and  the 
painter,  Beltram  Masses,  and  decided  on 
swords  for  an  encounter  at  dawn  the  following 
morning  in  the  park  of  a  private  chateau  near 
St.  Cloud. 

Straight  from  the  supper  part}',  our  corre- 
spondent relates,  went  Rudy,  stopping  only  a 
moment  at  his  hotel  to  take  a  pair  of  eighteenth 
century  duelling  swords.  In  the  cold  gray 
morning,  in  shirt  sleeves,  evening  trousers  and 
dancing  pumps,  the  sheik  paced  the  frosty 
garden,  awaiting  his  opponent. 

But  no  clash  of  steel  occurred,  dear  readers. 

A  very  subdued  Baron  Imre  alighted  with 
his  seconds  from  a  very  prosaic  taxicab  around 
8  o'clock.  With  outstretched  hand  he  advanced 
toward  Rudy: 

"I  realize  I  was  in  the  wrong."  he  said. 
'Your  love  scene  with  my  beloved  fiancee 
drove  me  insane.  If  you  have  ever  loved  as 
intensely  as  I  have,  you  will  understand.  Shall 
we  be  friends?" 

And  Rudy  understood.  They  shook  hands 
and  returned  to  Paris  and  ate  breakfast 
together. 

TT  was  hoped  that  Mary  Hay  might  go  to  see 
-*-Dick  Barthelmess  in  his  recent  illness,  and 
thus  begin  steps  toward  a  reconciliation 
between  them.    But  young  Mrs.  Barthelmess 

and  their  daughter  remain  at  one  hotel,  while 
Dick  is  attended  by  his  mother  at  another 
hotel.  His  illness  is  not  critical,  only  serious 
enough  to  postpone  indefinitely  the  beginning 

of  his  next  picture. 

"""PIIF.  musical  motion  picture  that  was  tried 
*■  out  in  Germany  recently  was  not  the  success 
that  its  sponsors  hoped  for. 

A  film  version  of  Richard  Strauss'  "Der 
Rosenkavelier"  had  been  produced,  and  it  was 
presented  at  the  Dresden  Opera  House  last 
month  with  Strauss  himself  conducting  the 
orchestra. 

But  it  did  not  make  the  sensation  the  pro- 
ducers expected.  The  Berlin  critics  say  that 
the  attempt  to  combine  the  Strauss  score  and 
the  film  into  something  approaching  a  new 
form  of  art  was  unsuccessful.  In  fact,  the  film 
had  to  be  stopped  in  one  or  two  places  to  per- 
mit the  music  of  the  score  to  catch  up  with  the 
action  of  the  story.

cradle  of  the  great  Paramount  organization 

— was  the  scene  of  an  anniversary  celebration 
when  all  of  the  stars  and  players  of  that  com- 
pany gathered  to  greet  the  press  fraternity

MILTON  SILLS  was  telling  about  some  of 
the  interesting  occurrences  that  take  place 
in  the  operation  of  a  steel  mill,  many  of  which 
were  photographed  in  "Men  of  Steel,"  First 
National's  new  feature  picture  that  was  made 
at  the  Ensley  Mills  in  Birmingham,  Alabama. 
One  of  the  most  interesting  is  the  "steel 
funeral."  There  is  a  custom  in  the  steel  mills 
that  when  a  man  loses  his  life  by  falling  into 
a  ladle  of  molten  metal — a  not  uncommon 
occurrence — the  ladle  with  its  tragic  contents 
is  buried  with  elaborate  ceremony.  All  the 
steel  workers  and  friends  of  the  unfortunate 
victim  take  part  in  the  funeral. 

In  the  story,  "Men  of  Steel,"  one  of  the 
characters  is  supposed  to  meet  this  untimely 
end,  and  the  steel  funeral  in  ever}'  detail  was 
staged  for  the  film.  A  hole  twenty  feet  in 
diameter  was  dug  and  the  ladle  lowered  into  it. 

THE  building  fever  is  certainly  at  its  height 
in  Hollywood. 

Everybody  is  wrapt  up  in  house  building  and 
furnishing. 

"A  great  way  for  this  company  to  save 
money,"  Irving  Thalberg,  who  is  one  of  the 
presiding  geniuses  of  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 
said  the  other  day,  "is  to  start  a  contracting 
business  on  the  side.  Everybody  that  comes  in 
here  wants  top  salary,  or  top  price,  all  1  ecause 
they're  building  a  house.  I  think  the  Metro- 
Goldwyn-Mayer  contracting  company,  oper- 
ated on  a  cost  basis,  would  save  the  picture 
company  a  lot  of  money." 

HER  fans  will  be  happy  to  hear  that  Jewel 
Carmen,  after  a  retirement  of  six  years,  is 
to  come  back  on  the  screen  as  the  lead  in  Mary 
Roberts  Rinehart's  famous  play,  which  is  being

IT  was  when  Jimmy  Cruze  was  making  "The 
Pony  Express."  A  friend,  on  being  told  the 
title  of  the  latest  Cruze  effort,  was  somewhat 
surprised  and  told  the  great  director  so. 

"Why,  they  started  that  same  picture  out  at 
the  U  several  weeks  ago!"  exclaimed  the  friend. 

"That's  all  right.  Don't  worry."  says  Jim. 
"I'll  spot  them  three  months  and  still  beat 
them  to  the  screen." 

And  he  did.     By  weeks. 

Craze's  picture  was  released  some  lime  ago 
as  "The  Pony  Express"  and  the  1"  christened 
their  picture,  in  which  Hoot  Gibson  stars. 
"The  blaming  Frontier." 

The  two  pictures  are  in  no  way  alike,  the 
only  similarity  ever  being  in  the  title  and  now 
that's  changed. 


HO(  VI 
But- 


r  GIBSGX  isn't   really  superstitious. 


Some  eleven  years  ago  he  was  hurt  while 
making  "Chip  of  the  Flying  U."  and  was  laid 
up  in  the  hospital  for  nearly  six  months. 


Now  he  is  "  orbing  in  the  same  picture,  only 
this  time  as  the  star.  And  the  jinx  seems  to  be 
-till  pur-uing  him. 

Six  different  directors  were  engaged  before 
the  right  one  was  finally  secured  and  the  story 
ready  to  make.  Then  theyr  tried  for  a  location 
at  Lone  Pine  but  found  that  another  company 
was  "shooting"  there  and  that  all  hotel  ac- 
commodations were  taken.  So  they  had  to 
wait. 

The  picture  is  now  being  filmed  and  at  Lone 
Pine,  but  Hoot  admits  he  won't  feel  happy  until 
it  is  all  done  and  in  the  cutting  room.  He's 
just  a  trifle  afraid  "Chip  of  the  Flying  U"  i- 
hoodooed. 

A  GREAT  change  has  occurred  in  the  sur- 
•**■  roundings  of  Harry  Langdon.  that  great 
little  comedian  who  is  now  making  picture- 
oxer  at  the  United  Lot  for  First  National. 

In  the  old  days  at  Sennett's  the  Langdon 
company  was  the  only  one  which  kept  musi- 
cians on  the  set  at  all  times — this  was  the  only 
thing  which  distinguished  him. 

Today  he  is  surrounded  by  henchmen.  An 
ex-pugilist  sits  at  the  door  to  the  set  and  refuses 
any  and  all  comers  admission  unless  they  have 
an  order  from  the  business  manager.  I  sent  in 
my  own  card  ("can  you  imagine  me  having  a 
card?)  the  other  day  and  in  a  few  minutes  was 
told  by  the  ex-pug  that  Mr.  Langdon  couldn't 
see  me  until  after  five  in  his  bungalow. 

"After  five  in  his  dressing-room."  I  repeated. 
I'll  admit  it  was  a  bit  of  a  shock. 

"In  his  BUNGALOW  "—corrected  the  ex- 
pug,  and  he  meant  it.  So  "in  his  bungalow"  I 
meekly  repeated.  I'd  even  have  said  "in  his 
hat"  if  the  hard-visaged  lad  had  insisted. 

And  now  I  come  to  the  point  of  my  yarn. 
Harry  really  has  a  bungalow  with  a  capital  B. 
It's  right  next  to  Valentino's  and  across  from 
Norma  Talmadge's  and  just  as  grand,  if  not 
more  so. 

This  bungalow  ought  to  help  Harry  make 
better  pictures — perhaps  better  than  Harold 
Lloyd — for  Harold  has  no  bungalow— just  a 
nice  little  suite  of  dressing  rooms  in  a  building 
where  mere  mortals  also  dress.  And  I'll  have 
to  tell  Harold  about  the  ex-pugilist  guarding 
the  sacred  portal.  For  Harold  hasn't  got  one 
of  them  either.  Not  even  Doug  Fairbanks, 
who  seems  quite  over-run  with  scrappers  and 
wrestlers,  uses  one  at  the  door  to  his  stage. 

Nor  is  that  all.  When  I  got  over  to  the 
dressing  room — pardon,  the  bungalow,  at  a 
little  after  the  isure.  I  waited.  I  had  to  be- 
cause I  wanted  to  see  Langdon)  I  found  it 
almost  filled  with  hangers-on. 

"My  gag  men."  explained  Harry,  with  a 
wave  of  the  hand. 

"All  of  'em?" 

"Sure — all  >i\  of  'em."  explained  Harry,  as 
we  took  a  seat  outside  on  the  running  board  of 
a  machine  and  proceeded  to  business.  We  had 
to.  There  wasn't  room  in  the  Bungalow — too 
many  gag  men. 

Then  I  found  Harry  Langdon  himself  really 
hadn't  changed — just  his  surroundings — and  I 
was  glad,  for  I  like  Harry  and  think  he  is  a 
regular  fellow. 

BOB  LEONARD  seems  to  be  bravely  recov- 
ering from  the  shock  of  having  been  divorced 
by  Mae  Murray.  Now  that  the  charming  Mae 
is  Bitting  around  Europe,  ex-husband  Bob  i> 
spending  much  of  his  leisure  time  with  pretty 
Gertrude  Olmsted.  Gertrude  was  guest  of 
honor  at  Leonard's  New-  Year's  Eve  party  at 
the  Sixty  Club  and  was  seen  with  him  the  next 
day  at  the  East-West  football  game  at  Pasa- 
dena, which  is  rushing  em  pretty  hard,  even 
for  Hollywood. 

FOR  the  first  time  since  Hollywood  became 
the  film  capital  of  the  world,  the  picture 
people  found  a  place  where  they  could  all  get 
together  and  celebrate  the  arrival  of  the  New 
Year.  And  more  than  five  hundred  screen 
stars  took  advantage  of  the  opportunity  at  the 
meeting  of  the  Sixty  Club  at  the  Biltmore 
hotel  New  Year's  I've.

Jerome  Beatty  is  the  new  assistant 
to  Will  Hays  in  the  Motion  Picture 
Producers  and  Distributors 
of  America.  Mr.  Beatty  is  a  former 
newspaper  man  with  ten  years 
motion  picture  experience  in  ad- 
vertising, publicity,  exploitation 
and  distribution  ' 


the  other  half  ami  almost  everyone  was  "among 

those  present."  There  were  beautiful  ladies  in 
handsome  gowns,  and  dashing  swains  too 
numerous  to  mention.  An  attempt  would  read 
much  like  "Who's  Who"  in  pictures  and  it 
would  be  much  easier  and  require  far  less 
space  to  tell  who  wasn't  there. 

Anyway  a  few  of  those  who  gave  parties 
were  Colleen  Moore  and  her  husband,  John 
M.CormLk.  Boh  Leonard,  at  whose  party 
Gertrude  Olmsted  was  guest  of  honor.  Peggy 
Hopkins  Joyce,  quite  the  latest  and  one  of  the 
most  popular  of  screen  stars,  Blanche  Sweet 
and  her  famous  husband,  Mickey  Neilan, 
Eddie  Lowe  and  Lilyan  Tashman — and,  oh 
well,  we  might  as  well  stop  here. 

It  was  a  great  party — everyone  had  a  great 
time. 

And  this  might  be  the  proper  time  to  say 
that  Charles  Furthman,  the  real  organizer  of 
the  Sixty  Club  and  its  leading  spirit,  the  man 
who  made  this  gathering  possible,  denies  that 
he  is  in  anyway  connected  with  the  new  "400 
Club"  of  Hollywood.  He  says -all  of  his  spare 
time  will  go  to  the  perpetuating  of  the  Sixtv 
Club. 

GLORIA  SWANSON  is  not  the  only  film 
star  who  has  a  Marquis. 

Alice  Calhoun  has  one.  too.  Only  Alice's 
is  not  flesh  and  blood,  with  a  neat  mustache 
and  monocle. 

Alice's  Marquis  is  an  ornate  little  motion 
picture  show-house  in  Hollywood  and  she  is  its 
one-woman  potentate. 

Alice  with  her  "Marquis  Theatre"  takes  her 
place  in  the  financial  hall  of  fame  that  has  been 
established  by  her  cinema  sisters.  Ruth  Ro- 
land, Agnes  Ayres,  Helene  Chadwick,  Kath- 
leen Clifford,  Phyllis  Haver  are  but  a  few  of  the 
girls  who  own  everything  from  an  apartment 
house  to  a  laundry  or  florist  shop. 

T— TF  had  spent  the  forenoon  sliding  down  the

ambled  across  a  yawning  chasm  that  was 
pathed  by  a  slender  swaying  rope.

He  took  her  to  dinner— just  once! 


He  never  invited  her  again. 

"Great  Scott!"  he  growled  dis- 
gustedly to  himself.  "She's  pow- 
dered her  face  before  every 
course."  For  men  don't  like  to 
see  women  powder  in  public. 

It's  quite  evident  this  young 
lady  didn't  know  about  Hinds 
Honey  and  Almond  Cream.  A 
little  patted  on  your  face  after 
washing  makes  the  powder  cling 


— for  hours.  No  need  to  bring  out 
a  powder  puffevery  few  minutes. 
Your  powder  has  a  real  base. 

Then,  too,  if  you  use  Hinds

And,  of  course,  the  camera  recorded  his 
breathtaking  stunts,  for  it  was  Reed  Howes. 

"Let's  make  tomorrow  a  holiday,  Joe," 
Reed  said  to  Joe  Brown,  his  producer.  "I 
ivanl  to  take  a  spin  in  a  friend's  new  'plane." 

"What:  Risk  your  life  in  a  'plane?  Noth- 
ing doing — that's  too  hazardous!" 

So  the  next  day  was  sanely  spent  by  Reed  in 
scaling  the  llagpole  of  the  City  Hall. 

I  MET  Renee  Adoree's  sister  the  other  day. 
She  is  a  beautiful  girl — not  the  adorably 
<  uddly  t\-pe  of  the  more  famous  Renee,  but  a 
pretty  girl,  nevertheless.  Her  hair  is  that  dark 
auburn  shade,  her  eyes  are  large  and  blue,  and 
her  name  is  Mira. 

Roth  of  the  Adoree  sisters  were  born  in 
France  where  they  were  trained  to  be  acro- 
batic dancers  and  later  traveled  with  a  circus 
troupe.  Renee  came  to  Hollywood  and  pic- 
tures, but  Mira  went  to  Mexico  City  where  she 
was  a  celebrated  toe  twinkler.  Then,  about 
three  months  ago,  she  decided  to  visit  soenr 
Renee  in  Hollywood. 

Now  she's  in  pictures,  too. 

FAST  on  the  melodious  heels  of  "The  Merry 
Widow"  comes  the  announcement  that  Paul 
Powell  has  been  chosen  to  direct  that  musical 
success  "The  Prince  of  Pilsen"  for  A.  H. 
Sebastian. 

If  you  will  recall  your  cinema  history  of  not 
so  very  long  past,  you  will  remember  that 
Powell  was  the  man  who  made  Mary  Pick- 
ford's  "Pollyanna"  and  under  whose  skilled 
guidance  many  a  picture  has  been  launched 
to  a  successful  life. 

Coming  from  newspaper  and  editorial  work, 
in  which  he  had  an  enviable  career,  Powell 
was  one  of  the  first  of  a  long  line  of  writers  to 
see  the  possibilities  of  the  screen,  and  he 
learned  his  craftsmanship  under  the  tutelage 
of  Griffith.  He  was  also  one  of  the  first  Amer- 
ican directors  to  lead  a  caravan  of  players  to 
Europe  to  make  pictures. 

Powell  has  surrounded  himself  with  an  ex- 
cellent cast  which  includes  George  Sidney, 
Myrtle  Stedman.  Anita  Stewart  and  Alan 
Forrest,  so  there  is  no  reason  why  "The  Prince 
of  Pilsen"  should  not  be  as  enjoyable  as  the 
famous  brew  of  that  name — and  with  a  goodly 
share  of  comedy  froth. 

GEORGE  SIDNEY,  the  amiable  Hebraic 
gentleman  of  the  celebrated  Potash  and 
Perlmutter  twosome,  is  not  easily  incited  to 
wrath,  but  the  other  day  found  him  ready  to 
wave  a  final  farewell  to  the  motion  picture 
business. 

In  "Partners  Again"  George  has  a  dream 
.  .  .  more  like  a  nightmare  ...  in  which 
he  sees  himself,  in  flannelette  nightie,  tripping 
birdlike  along  the  wing  of  a  soaring  'plane. 
Although  the  scene  was  taken  on  a  studio 
stage,  George  was  in  a  precarious  position — 
and  a  very  exhausting  one. 

"Whew!  This  thing  of  being  a  movie  actor 
isn't  all  it's  cracked  up  to  be,"  thought  George, 
as  he  watched  the  swaying  ground  forty  feet 
below  him.  Then  he  heard  the  uplifted  voice 
of  Henry  King,  the  director,  wafted  to  him: 

"Bring  the  smoke  pots!  We'll  take  that 
cloud  sequence  now,  while  we're  at  it ! " 

Giant  wind  machines  were  rolled  into  posi- 
tion, the  smoke  pots  were  placed  and  lighted, 
and  George  was  soon  sputtering  in  a  bank  of 
smoky  fumes. 

But  the  crowning  woe  came  when  the  flames 
came  too  near  and  licked  his  naked  limbs. 

George  is  thinking  of  returning  to  the  stage. 

THERE    was    deep    consternation    on    the 
"  Kiki"  set. 

Norma  Talmadge,  in  the  plaids  and  frizzes 
of  her  tawdry  costume,  powdered  her  face  for 
the  sixteenth  time  in  desperate  attempt  to 
while  away  the  time;  Ronald  Colman  paced  the 
floor  and  pulled  at  his  tantali/ing  mustache; 
Clarence  Brown,  the  director,  glummed  beside 

the  camera. 

All  because  of  one  lone  goose  egg. 

Not  the  goose  that  laid  the  golden  egg — that 


might  be  worth  waiting  for — but  one  ordinary' 
goose  egg  that  the  French  technical  director  of 
the  picture  said  was  necessary'  to  make  the 
scene  correctly  Gaulish.  Ronald,  as  the  French 
theatrical  producer  in  the  story,  must  have  a 
goose  egg  for  breakfast. 

Not  until  noon  did  the  egg  make  its  appear- 
ance .  .  .  and  by  that  time  with  the  mount- 
ing production  costs  it  was  worth  its  weight  in 
gold. 

A  NOTHER  motion  picture  school  has  been

tir>t  class  of  pupils  comes  simultaneously  with 
the  opening  of  the  Laemmle  Photoplay  Uni- 
versity at  Universal  City,  California. 

p. MIL  JANNIXGS  is  coming  to  America. 
-•— 'He  has  signed  a  long  term  contract  with 
P'amous  Players-Lasky  and  will  make  his  first 
.Ymerican  picture  early  in  the  summer. 

His  director  has  not  been  decided  upon  yet, 
but  one  hears  that  D.  W.  Griffith  will  make  the 
first  picture  with  the  German  actor.  Jannings 
will  not  remain  in  this  country  exclusively,  but 
will  make  one  picture  a  year  for  UFA,  and  will 
also  appear  on  the  stage  in  Germany. 

HpHE  best  dressed  woman  in  the  movies — 
*■  need  we  say  who — was  in  the  terrible  pre- 
dicament of  having  nothing  to  wear  the  other 
day. 

Gloria  was  notified  to  get  ready  for  a 
Southern  location  on  her  present  picture. 
"Tamed."  Nobody  mentioned  Florida,  but 
that's  where  the  company  ended  up.  And 
there  was  Miss  Swanson  at  Miami  Beach  with- 
outa  flimsy  dud  to  her  name.  So  for  two  days  she 
was  practically  a  hermit  in  her  hotel  because 
she  ,would  not  appear  at  the  open  air  teas  and 
things  in  winter  clothes. 

TO  counteract  the  chill  winds  of  February, 
read  this. 

Norma  Talmadge  and  Ronald  Colman  are 
going  to  Africa  to  make  the  "  Garden  of  Allah" 
together  under  the  direction  of  Henry  King. 
This  should,  by  all  the  laws  of  art  and  man.  be 
hot  stufi.  Norma  and  Ronald  under  a  tropic 
moon — use  your  own  imagination. 

This  will  happen,  of  course,  after  Norma  has 
finished  filming  "  Kiki."  the  story  on  which  she 
is  now  working  with  Ronald  playing  across 
from  her,  and  likewise  after  screening  "His 
Woman,"  the  film  she  is  to  do  with  Tommy 
Meighan. 

"The  Garden  of  Allah"  will  be  produced  by 
a  union  of  forces  of  Joseph  Schenck.  Norma 's 
husband  and  business  manager,  and  Samuel 
Goldwyn.  Ronald's  manager.  Schenck  is  con- 
tributing the  rights  to  the  story  and  Norma, 
while  Goldwyn  is  contributing  Henry  King, 
the  director.  Frances  Marion,  the  scenarist, 
and  Ronald  Colman.  Puzzle:  Do  you  or  don't 
vou  regard  that  as  a  fair  exchange?

George  Fitzmaurice.  the  director  who  made

Florence  Yidor. 

AILEEN  PRINGLE  was  the  house  guest  of 
Miss  Bergere  when  she  first  came  to  New- 
York  last  month.  But  the  two  had  a  fuss  one 
night  and  Ailcen  left  in  a  huff.  It  seems  the 
popular  star  was  getting  too  many  telephone 
calls  to  please  her  hostess — most  of  them  were 
from  Kenneth  MeKenna.

KIXGS  and  presidents  and  tank  messengers

keen  about  Rudy's  dressing  gown  that  they 
ordered  copies  for  themselves. 

Rudy  also  has  a  wasp-waisted  evening  dress, 
with  which  he  is  dazzling  Xew  York  and  Holly- 
wood, and  his  new  sable  evening  overcoat 
leaves  the  coat  checkers  at  the  night  clubs 
simply  gasping.

IT  is  once  more  fashionable  to 
be  feminine.  The  present  mode, 
so  different  from  the  uniform

demands  that  women  beautify 
their  figures  as  well  as  their  hair 
and  skin  and  hands. 

WARNER  fitted  undergar-

Relieve 
rheumatic 
pain  / 

A  BSORBINE,  Jr.  attacks  the 
XX.  area  of  congestion.  It  awak- 
ens the  sluggish  circulation.  It 
brings  prompt  relaxation  and  re- 
lief from  acute  pain. 

Absorbine,  Jr.  is  agreeable  to 
use.  It  may  be  applied  freely, — 
it  cannot  burn.  It  is  ordinarily 
stainless.  Its  pungent,  agreeable 
odor  quickly  disappears. 

Have  the  magic  bottle  ever  ready 
for  many  regular  toilet  uses  and 
as  first  aid  in  emergencies. 


No  Corn 

Keeps  hurting  over  3  seconds 

This  new  way  gives 
{world's  fastest  relief 

NO  matter  how  painful  a  corn  or 
callous  you  have,  you  now  can 
quiet  it  .  .  .  put  it  to  sleep  ...  in 
three  seconds  or  less. 

This  scientific  liquid  acts  on  a  corn 
like  a  local  anaesthetic  acts  on  a  paining 
tooth.  Pain  stops  instantly.  Then  soon 
the  wholo  corn  loosens.  You  peel  it  oft 
like  dead  skin.  Thus  dangerous  cutting 
is  avoided.  Tight  shoes  are  worn  in  com- 
fort.   Millions  will  tell  you  this. 

.lust  a  touch — that  Is  all.  What  hap- 
pens will  .-, maze  you. 

Ask  for  "Gets-It"  at  your  druggist.  Do 
It  now.     Enjoy  foot  comfort  in  a  jiffy.

years  ago.  She  has  dark  brown  hair  and  eyes, 
is  live  feet  two.  weighs  100  pounds  and  started

tary so  she'll  get  your  letter  personally. 

Miss  M.  H. — You  shouldn't  be  so  backward 
in  coming  forward.  Your  questions  are  just  as

"  You  didn't  come

The  lure  way  to  .i\  "id  trouble  in 

your  mouth  is  to  see  your  demist 

in  lime.   Gotohimal  least  l  w  11  e.l

will  keep  teeth  and  gums  healthy

see  him  too  late 

Don't  let  carelessness  or  a  false  feeling  of  security 
give  dangerous  pyorrhea  a  chance  to  fasten  itself  in 
your  mouth.  Four  out  of  five  have  this  dread  in- 
fection at  forty,  and  many  younger,  according  to 
dental  statistics. 

A  little  foresight  will  keep  you  among  the  fortu- 
nate who  escape.  At  least  every  six  months  let 
your  dentist  go  over  your  mouth  carefully  to  de- 
tect signs  of  gum  infection  and  start  now  to  brush 
night  and  morning  with  Forhan's  for  the  Gums. 

The  entire  family  should  brush  with  Forhan's.  It's 
a  pleasant  tasting  dentifrice  that  firms  the  gums  and 
keeps  them  pink  and  healthy.  It  gives  the  teeth  a 
thorough  cleansing  and  keeps  them  white  and  clean. 

You  can't  begin  using  Forhan's  too  soon.  Delay 
may  exact  a  heavy  toll.  It's  unwise  to  take  chances 
with  pyorrhea.  Get  your  tube  of  Forhan's  today. 
All  druggists:  35c  and  60c  in  tubes.

Providing  Yourself  With  the  Proper  Period 

[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  65  ] 


More  woodwork  is  used  than  in  Spanish  houses 
and  the  windows  are  much  wider.  The  walls, 
while  made  of  plain  plaster  over  brick,  are 
painted  in  colorful  patterns.  The  furniture, 
retaining  the  same  general  lines  that  character- 
ized the  same  period  in  Spain,  is  built  to  sit 
higher  from  the  floor  and  has  more  of  a 
tendency  toward  curves. 

In  this  little  room  the  wall  niche  bearing  its 
statue  of  the  Virgin  and  Child  serves  to  bring  to 
the  room  the  definite  religious  influence  that 
dominates  all  Italian  and  Spanish  art  of  that 
time.  If  you  arc  doing  a  room  in  either  of  these 
styles  and  genuinely  desire  to  keep  it  in  period, 
religious  paintings  and  small  ecclesiastical 
statues  are  necessary  for  the  proper  atmos- 
phere. Italian  rooms,  in  contrast  to  the  Span- 
ish, are  generally  low  ceilinged,  giving  them  an 
air  of  intimacy. 

HpHE  same  period  in  England,  however,  was 
•*-  toward  massiveness,  space  and  simplicity, 
as  the  reproduction  of  the  great  hall  of  Chetwyn 
Manor  on  the  upper  left  of  page  65  shows. 
Choosing  a  background  like  this  for  one's  self 
must  be  done  with  due  thought.  Its  whole 
atmosphere  suggests  a  great  estate,  many 
servants,  large  parties,  culture  and  a  general 
prodigality  of  living.  Yet  the  simplicity  of 
feeling  demanded  today  is  very  present.  This, 
by  the  way,  was  not  so  much  a  matter  of  taste 
on  the  part  of  the  old  furniture  makers  as  it  was 
their  lack  of  ability.  They  could  put  a  straight 
board  upon  four  straight  legs  and  call  it  a  table. 
It  resulted  in  beauty,  but  that  wasn't  their 
fault.  The  round  balls,  for  instance,  shown 
ornamenting  the  legs  of  the  refectory  table  in 
the  window  space  were  among  the  first  decora- 
tive additions  the  English  carpenters  of  that 
era  discovered  they  could  create.  You  will 
find  them  on  nearly  all  early  English  furniture. 
Likewise,  the  monasteries  were  the  only  places 
furnished  for  permanency.     Hence  the  sur- 


vival of  so  many  refectory,  or  monaster}'  eating 
tables  today. 

The  davenport  before  the  fire,  which  we  have 
regarded  as  a  truly  modern  convenience,  is 
actually  an  old  English  one,  though  the  piece 
here  used  is  contemporary. 

Color  was  brought  into  English  rooms,  not 
through  mere  decorative  fabrics,  as  with  the 
Spaniards  and  Italians,  but  through  tapestries 
which  told  a  story.  This,  to  me,  is  a  particu- 
larly beautiful  room,  though  to  erect  it  under 
present  labor  costs  would  be  very  expensive. 
But  if  you  feel  you  can  live  up  to  it,  you  can't 
go  wrong  in  choosing  it. 

Final ly,  for  those  who  demand  it.  I  include  a 
small  French  bedroom,  done  in  characteristic 
French  style  with  the  worst  gewgaws  removed. 
One  thing  must  be  borne  in  mind.  French 
furniture  is  definitely  feminine  in  feeling.  Don't 
design  such  a  room  for  a  man.  English,  and 
most  Spanish  and  Italian,  is  definitely  mascu- 
line. 

A  LL  French  furniture,  except  the  very 
-**-earliest,  is  light  in  feeling  and  fact.  The 
woods  the  French  builders  used  were  lighter. 
They  understood  more  about  lacquers,  enamels, 
paints  than  the  others  did.  While  a  great  deal 
of  Spanish  and  Italian  furniture  is  painted, 
particularly  the  bedsteads,  the  colors  used  are 
more  primitive.  The  French  painted  nearly 
everything,  but  used  the  pastel  shades  quite 
exclusively.  They  brought  the  cane  bedstead, 
here  shown,  into  being.  The  French  prints, 
as  their  name  implies,  are  theirs  exclusively. 
The  chaise  longue,  at  the  foot  of  the  bed,  is  a 
Gallic  creation. 

Therefore,  for  femininity,  frivolousness  and 
gaiety,  the  French  fashions.  For  permanency 
and  quiet  dignity,  the  English.  For  intimate 
warmth  and  friendly  simplicity,  the  Italian. 
For  colorful  austerity,  the  Spanish. 

Forward,  ladies,  and  pick  your  periods. 


3170  Miles  From  Broadway 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  23  ] 


of  the  attractors.  Also  Jacqueline  Logan, 
Helen  Lee  Worthing — many  others. 

For  several  years  Lilyan  was  one  of  the  head- 
liners  and  during  those  years  she  won  the 
appellation  of  "Broadway  butterfly,"  which  is 
trite,  for  butterflies  have  a  flitting  way  of 
fluttering  from  flower  to  flower,  while  Lilyan 
had  one  purpose  in  view  toward  which  she 
toiled. 

Finally,  Lilyan — purpose  still  in  mind — 
graduated  to  a  speaking  part  in  a  current  play. 

In  "The  Gold  Diggers''  she  was  a  female 
platinum  prospector — in  "The  Garden  of 
Weeds"  she  was  another  dc  luxe  pirate  on  the 
Highway  of  Eros.  In  many  other  plays  she 
represented  the  sophisticated  sisterhood. 

"""THEN  one  day  she  became  interested  in  a 
-*-  town  called  Hollywood  and  in  the  chief  prod- 
uct thereof.  Edmund  Lowe,  her  fiance,  was 
there  emoting  for  the  films.  James  Cruze.  the 
director,  was  to  make  a  picture  version  of  "The 
Garden  of  Weeds."  So  the  night-blooming 
flower  of  Broadway  packed  her  imported 
luggage  and  came  West. 

She  packed  the  silks  and  fine  fabrics  of  the 
gowns  that  molded  her  slimly  elegant  figure 
into  one  of  Broadway's  smartest  dressed 
women.  She  slipped  into  her  fur  wrap  and 
clutched  it  about  her  as  only  lilyan  knows 
how,  and  set  forth  for  Hollywood. 

She  knew  she  wasn't  saecharinelv  beautiful 


as  film  beauty  is  gauged.  But  she  well  knew 
she  had  something  that  every  pretty  cinema 
aspirant  has  not  got.  She  had  an  urban  air  of 
distinguee — a  positive  assurance — a  radiating 
self-confidence.  It's  quite  unbeatable,  you 
know.  And  then.  too.  there  was  I.ilyan's 
figure — of  which  she  did  not  boast,  but  which 
has  been  before  observed.  It  is  her  dryad-like 
form — and  the  caressing  way  her  frocks  em- 
brace her — that  convinces  you  she  is  a  lineal 
descendant  of  sinuous  Salome. 

"I  came  to  Hollywood,"  said  Lilyan.  "with 
the  idea  that  I  would  give  myself  three  months 
in  which  to  make  good  in  pictures.  If  I  was 
not  well  on  my  way  to  a  certain  success  within 
that  time,  I  would  return  to  Broadway." 

So  Lilyan  came  to  Hollywood.  But  Holly- 
wood did  not  come  to  Lilyan- — immediately. 
Hollywood — being  truly  feminine — has  a  way 
of  glancing,  narrow-eyed,  over  a  frigid  shoulder 
at  a  newcomer.  Especially  when  the  newcomer 
has  the  Tashman  scintillation.  Lilyan  bided 
her  time. 

First  came  her  oft-repeated  stage  role  in 
"The  Garden  of  Weeds"  for  Jimmie  Cruze.  and 
before  she  finished  that  role,  came  an  offer  from 
another  company,  with  the  result  that  Lilyan 
was  working  in  two  pictures  at  once — cause  for 
celebration  even  to  an  experienced  film  actor. 

Success  is  music  as  sweet  as  the  metallic  ring 
of  gold,  and  Lilyan  was  soon  gathered  to  the 
broad  bosom  of  Hollywood.    Xot  onlv  because

of  her  splendid  and  rapid  ascension,  but 
because  Lilyan  was  Lilyan    clever,  entertain- 

'.  itty-  a  brilliant  addition  to  anj 
affair,  be  it  tea  or  dinner  part) 

T1IS  all  happened  our  year  and  lour  months 
ago,  Lilyan  is  now  a  star  under  the  Metro 
politan  banner  w  tth  a  <  o\  ej  oi  su<  i  essful  i  hai 
acterizations  to  her  credit.  And  she  is  about  to 
commence  on  a  new  life  as  .ill  good  little  film 
tides  say.  sin-  is  to  leave  the  lurid  lairs  oi  light 
ladies  and  become  .1  sweet  and  amiable  heroine. 
Which  is  a  shame,  I  think 

Very  few  women  on  the  screen  arc  ascleverl) 
naughty  as  Lilyan.  Or  should  it  be  naughtily 
clever?  And  there  are  >o  many  charming 
heroines  I  Perhaps  Lilyan  will  inject  into  her 
mod  interpretations  a  bit  of  the  tang  that  made 
her  wicked  women  so  absolutely  fascinating.  I 
should  not  be  surprised  if  she  did,  for  Lilyan 
has  the  inbred  knack  of  seasoning  the  most 
insipid  roles  with  a  goodly  share  of  personality. 

s>>  now  Lilyan,  Broadway's  gorgeous  night- 
blooming  cereUS  —three  thousand  one  hundred 
and  seventy  miles  from  her  native  (lower  |H)t 

(by  Southern  Pacific  figures) — thrives  in 
Hollywood's  orange  groves. 

And.  funny  dear  Lilyan!  Do  you  know  one 
of  the  things  she  thrills  at  most,  despite  all  the 
daily  tokens  that  show  she  is  really  one  of 
Hollywood's  favorites?  She  likes  the  tinkle-

"Miss  Tashman?  We  have  just  received  a

worth  while.      I  love   Shakespeare,  Tolstoi. 

"  I  nave  also  thought  about  Ibsen,"  she  con- 
tinued. "I  adore  the  sombre  colors.  The 
tragic  moods.  The  unutterable  silences."  She 
was  meditative  for  a  moment.  "Grey  is  very 
becoming  to  me." 

Whereas  last  week,  Foline  Bari  gave  a  tea  in 
her  sixteen-room  apartment.  Curled  up  wist- 
fully in  the  mauve-lined  window  seat,  she  gazed 
out  over  the  Hudson  where,  in  the  growing 
twilight,  loomed  the  famous  sky-line  of  Jersey. 

Poline  is  the  exponent  on  the  screen  of  why 
men  come  back.  She  tames  temperamental 
tiger  rugs  and  puffs  cigarette  rings  into  the 
faces  of  trusting  lads. 

Her  face  lighted  up.    She  clapped  her  hands. 

"I  am  stifled  here.  I  want,"  she  breathed, 
"to  live  in  a  vine  covered  cottage.  Away  from 
the  jaded  artificiality  of  things.  I  want  to  cook 
cereal.  I  want  to  tat  edgings  for  dotted  Swiss 
curtains. 

"I  crave,"  pulsed  Poline  plaintively,  "to 
raise  nasturtiums." 

A  XD  while  speaking  of  celebrities  who  have 
-**-met  me,  I'm  not  betraying  any  confidence 
when  I  say  that  Ivanhoe  Baggot  rumpled  his 
sleek  hair  the  last  time  I  went  to  a  dinner  he 
gave,  and  sighed. 

"I  don't  know  why  it  is,"  he  ruminated, 
handing  another  macaroon  to  a  man  who  writes 
intimate  revelations  for  one  of  the  famous  fan 
magazines,  "  that  my  director  insists  upon  my 
doing  drawing  room  dramatics.  I  yearn  to  do 
the  more  elemental  parts.  Out  in  the  open 
spaces  whtre  I  can  wear  flannel  shirts  and 
puttees.  I  am  essentially,  you  know,"  con- 
fessed Ivanhoe.  "one  of  the  strong,  silent  men 
of  the  West."

does  the  skin  on 
your  body  look  younger 
than  your  face  and  hands'! 


Change  this  condition  now  —  stop 
"unequal ageing"— prevent  chapped 
coarse  skin  —  make  this  test,  free. 

MOST  women  care  so  much  about 
their  complexions  .  .  .  yet  even 
though  they  are  young  in  years,  how 
much  softer  and  [whiter  is  the  skin  on 
their  body  than  their  face  and  neck! 
If  there  was  only  some  way  to  keep 
their  complexions  as  clear  and  smooth — ■ 

There  is  a  way.  It  is  called  Frost- 
ilia  Fragrant  Lotion. 

Frostilla  Lotion  is  like  Nature's  own 
way  of  keeping  the  skin  lovely.  Frost- 
illa Lotion  is  the  means  of  stopping 
"unequal  ageing"  —  unequal  because 
the  skin  on  the  face  and  hands  is  so 
apt  to  get  harsh  and  dry  while  the 
body  skin  is  still  fresh  and  young. 

For  over  fifty  years  Frostilla  Lotion 
has  been  famous  as  the  surest  means 
of  keeping  hands  soft  and  white  in  spite 
of  housework — for  preventing  chaps 
and  dryness.  It  will  do  this  just  as 
effectively  for  the  skin  of  the  face 
and  neck. 


Frostilla  Lotion  is  chemically  the 
same  as  the  natural  moisture  your 
skin  provides.  It  keeps  the  skin  soft 
and  smooth  in   the  same  way. 

You  need  Frostilla  Lotion  because 
you  need  more  natural  moisture  — 
"precious  moisture"  we  call  it — than 
your  body  can  provide.  Not  for  your 
body  skin,  because  that  is  protected 
by  clothing.  But  the  skin  of  your 
face,  neck  and  hands  is  exposed.  Raw 
winds,  artificial  heat — also  hot  sun  and 
summer  burns  —  dry  out  the  moisture 
of  the  skin,  leaving  it  rough  and  scaly. 

But  exposure  can  do  no  damage  if 
there  is  enough  "  precious  moisture" 
to  protect  the  skin.  Frostilla  Lotion 
will  give  you  the  additional  amount 
that  is  needed.  Use  it  regularly  on 
your  face  and  hands,  and  that  skin 
will  be  as  soft  as  the  skin  on  your  body. 

You  will  like  Frostilla  Lotion.  It 
absorbs  quickly,  leaving  no  stickiness. 
And  its  fragrance  is  delightful.  Mail

illa Lotion.

dandruff  will  be  gone,  and  two  or  three 
more  applications  will  completely  dissolve 
and  entirely  destroy  every  single  sign  and 
trace  of  it,  no  matter  how  much  dandruff 
you  mav  have. 

You  will  find,  too,  that  all  itching  ol  the

male  stars.  If  they  part  their  hair  on  the  side, 
they  show  you  a  picture  of  the  Little  Woman. 
If  they  part  it  in  the  middle,  they  admit  they 
left  some  well  known  university  flat  on  its  back 
to  give  the  public  what  it  wants.  And  if  they 
brush  it  straight  back,  they  confide  that  they, 
too,  were  once  a  struggling  newspaper  person. 

In  other  words,  motion  picture  stars  are 
mostly  regular  fellows.  They  may  appear  in 
overstuffed  scenarios.  They  may  be  quoted  as 
saying  they  prefer  Bernard  Shaw  to  Bugs  Baer. 
I  hey  may  even  sing  at  personal  appearances. 
But  in  almost  every  case  that  is  due  to  the 
prompting  of  their  press  agents. 

And  I  don't  believe  press  agents  any  more. 


When  I  was  first  ordained  an  authority  on 
motion  pictures,  an  enthusiastic  publicity 
promulgator  called  me  up,  and  said  that  the 
star  in  a  certain  photoplay  would  wear  a  gown 
composed  of  10.000  pearls.  I  printed  that 
statement.  And  then,  because  of  a  dawning. 
later  justified,  suspicion,  I  went  to  see  the 
picture.    And  there  were  only  9,951. 


My  concluding  confessions,  obtainable  only  in 

next  month's  issue  of  this  magazine,  will  reveal  to

saddles,  I  must  admit  I  thought  they  was 
pretty  fresh  calling  it  a  saddle.  Looked  to  me 
more  like  a  postage  stamp.  But  that  isn't 
what's  funny.  Their  champion  buster  they 
put  up  to  ride  against  me  and  that  had  made 
all  them  slighting  remarks  about  how  easy  it 
would  be  to  ride  a  bad  horse  in  a  sofa  like  I 
used — say,  the  horse  bucked  him  up  in  the  air, 
and  he  come  down  on  the  back  of  my  saddle 
and  nearly  busted  himself  in  two.  He  was 
awful  sore." 

"What  happened  to  you?" 

"Me?  Oh,  I  done  all  right.  I  took  the  stir- 
rups off  that  funny  little  Australian  affair  and 
then  it  was  just  like  riding  bareback,  so  I 
didn't  have  much  trouble  winning." 

"How'd  you  come  to  go  into  pictures?" 

"It's  funny  about  me  and  pictures,"  said 
Hoot,  reflectively.  "You  can't  rightly  say  I 
ever  went  into  them.  And  I  was  always 
getting  out.  But  I  guess  I  was  branded  to 
stay  in.  You  might  really  say  the  cause  of  me 
becoming  a  movie  actor  was  a  'snow  storm.'  " 

"A  snow  storm?" 

"Well,  you  see,  it  was  like  this.  When  we 
come  back  from  Australia  that  time,  I  went  on 
riding  in  contests  and  hippodroming  around 
the  country,  making  a  pretty  good  living  one 
way  and  another,  but  not  feeling  like  they  was 
much  future  in  it.  But  still  I  didn't  have 
nothing  definite  in  my  mind.  And  the  longer 
it  went  on  like  that,  the  more  disgusted  you 
might  say  I  got.  Dust  and  dirt  and  sleeping 
and  eating  all  kinds  of  places  in  all  kinds  of 
weather. 

"Well,  one  morning  in  about  1913  or  14,  I 
guess  it  was,  I  was  in  a  little  town  by  the  name 
of  Davenport,  up  in  Washington.  I  was  going 
to  ride  there  in  a  rodeo  that  day,  but  when  I 
woke  up  it  was  snowing  cats  and  dogs.  Well, 
I  didn't  think  much  of  that  and  I  stood  looking 
out  there,  and  I  put  my  hand  in  my  pocket  and 
found  a  letter  from  my  mother.  She  was  liv- 
ing down  in  Los  Angeles,  and  her  letter  was  all 
about  sunshine,  and  flowers,  and  things  like 
that.  I  just  made  up  my  mind  maybe  I'd 
better  go  down  there  to  Southern  California 
for  awhile.  And  I  says  to  myself.  'If  you  can't 
make  a  living  no  other  way,  maybe  you  can 
ride  in  some  of  them  moving  pictures."  So 
that's  what  I  done." 

"Well,  that  got  you  in.  But  you  said  you 
were  in  and  out  two  or  three  times." 

YF.II.  Well,  I  didn't  mind  riding  in  pictures, 
or  doubling,  or  doing  stunts.  But  1 
wasn't  keen  about  being  an  actor.  Still,  when 
you're  trying  to  make  a  living  at  pictures,  you 
got  to  take  what  comes.  I  rode  when  I  could, 
ami  1  was  an  assistant  director,  and  a  third 
cameraman,  and  I  took  care  of  horses,  and 
there  wasn't  much  I  didn't  do.  But  when 
things  got  too  tough.  I'd  paint  me  up  my  face 
and  go  be  an  extra  man.  Then  one  day  I  made 
out  1  just  couldn't  stand  that  any  more.  So 
I  seen  where  there  was  an  automobile  race  in 
Fresno,  and  I  went  up  there. 


"But  Fresno  is  my  Jonah.  Twice  I  went 
there  to  get  out  of  pictures  and  both  times  luck 
broke  against  me.  This  time,  in  an  auto  race — 
I  always  liked  driving  in  races  and  sometimes 
we  had  them  at  the  rodeos,  to  wind  up  with — 
I  was  a  lap  ahead  and  didn't  have  but  half  a 
mile  to  go,  and  the  engine  fell  right  plump  out 
of  my  car.  I  says,  'Hoot,  you  better  go  Lack 
to  pictures.  Things  is  against  you  in  this 
game.'  And  a  year  or  two  later,  I  got  plump 
fed  up  with  pictures  again  and  I  seen  there  was 
a  rodeo  in  Fresno  with  a  lot  of  prize  money  up, 
so  I  thought  I'd  go  get  it  maybe  and  get  me  a 
stake  and  start  in  business.  Well.  I  was  rid- 
ing my  last  bucking  horse,  on  the  same  darn 
field  they'd  had  the  auto  race  on.  and  it  didn't 
look  like  I  had  a  chance  to  lose  the  S500  purse. 
Just  then  my  cinch  busted  and  I  spilled  on  my 
head.  Another  lad  got  the  S500*  so  I  had  to 
come  back  in  pictures. 

""-PHEX  later  along  came  the  war.    I  went 

*■  over  there — " 

"In  the  cavalry?" 

"  No.     As  I  was  saying — " 

"What'd  you  go  in?" 

"I  went  in  the  tank  corps." 

"What  for.  when  you  knew  so  much  about 
horses?" 

"Well.  I  always  kind  of  liked  machinery,  and 
I  thought  I'd  like  monkeying  around  with  that. 
And  when  I  came  back  I  was  broke  and  went 
back  in  pictures." 

"There  were  a  lot  of  other  cowboys  in  pic- 
tures.   How'd  you  get  to  be  a  star?" 

"Well,  that  was  my  luck.  It  was  like  this. 
I  had  a  darn  good  job  with  Tom  Mix.  I  liked 
it,  cause  it  was  a  swell  outfit  and  I  was  eating 
regular.  But  I'd  had  a  hankering  after  directing 
and  I'd  made  a  few  two  reelcrs  off  and  on.  So 
one  day  Universal  sent  for  me  and  wanted  to 
know  would  I  direct  two  reel  westerns.  I  told 
'em  I  had  a  good  job  and  didn't  want  to  give 
it  up  unless  it  was  sure  about  this  directing 
thing,  but  they  swore  it  was.  I  was  getting 
$35  a  week  and  they  offered  me  $100  at  the  U. 
So  I  told  Tom.  and  he  said  that  was  great  if  I 
could  get  a  chance  and  to  go  take  it. 

"So  I  went  out  next  day  and  got  my  script 
and  it  looked  like  I  had  a  real  job.  But  before 
I  got  to  work  they  said  they  were  sorry  but  it 
was  all  off.  because  the  guy  they'd  been  after 
all  the  time  was  going  to  take  it  after  all.  So 
there  I  was  out  of  a  job  and  felt  pretty  sick. 
Hut  the  chap  that  got  my  job  directing  was  an 
old  friend,  so  1  went  to  him  and  I  says.  "Look 
here.  I'm  glad  you  got  it.  because  you  have 
been  an  assistant  director  a  long  time,  but  I'm 
out  on  your  account.  I  don't  see  no  reason 
why  I  couldn't  play  that  young  cowpunchcr 
juvenile  in  there.' 

"He  said  1  could  and  I  did.  and  the  folks 
liked  me  back  east.  They  thought  I  looked 
real  western.  So  they  signed  me  up  to  act  in 
a  lot  of  two  reel  westerns,  and  every  now  and 
then  we've  added  another  reel  and  now  I'm  a 
real  star.     My   last   picture,   'The   Flaming

the  other  fellow,  and  a  sense  of  principle.

He  balanced  his  big  hat  in  his  hand.  "That  '^

isn't  something  1  done.  It's  something  1  ain't

Lieut.  Locklear  was  a  stunt  flyer  and  the

one  of  Hollywood's  most  popular  little  stars. 
He  died  in  the  air  at  night,  his  plane  lighting 
the  sky  with  flames  as  it  crashed  to  the  ground. 

A  motor  accident  killed  Florence  LaBadie,

Madam— Please  accept 

a  7-day  supply  of  this  amazing  new  way 
of  removing  cleansing  cream 

A  way  that  will  double  the  effectiveness  of  your  "make-up" 
That  will  improve  oily  nose  and  skin  conditions  amazingly 
That  will  make  your  skin  seem  shades  lighter  than  before 


The  ONLY  way  yet  discovered 
that  removes  all  dirt,  grime  and 
germ-laden  accumulations  in 

gentle  safety  to  your  skin 

MODERN  beauty  science  has 
found  a  new  way  to  remove 
cold  cream  ...  a  different  way  from 
any  you  have  ever  known. 

It  will  prove  that  no  matter  how 
long  you  have  used  cold  cream,  you 
have  never  removed  it,  and  its  ac- 
cumulation of  dirt,  entirely  from  your 
skin  .  .  .  have  never  removed  it  in 
gentle  safety  to  your  skin. 

Just  use  the  coupon.  A  7-day  sup- 
ply will  be  given  you  without  charge. 

What  it  is 

The  name  is  KLEENEX  ...  a  to- 
tally new  kind  of  material  developed 
in  consultation  with  leading  author- 
ities on  skin  care,  solely  for  the  re- 
moval of  cleansing  cream. 

It  is  the  first  absorbent  made  for 
this  purpose.  There  is  no  other  like  it. 

It  banishes  the  soiled  towel  method 
that  all  women  detest.  Contrasts  the 
harshness  of  fibre  and  paper  substi- 
tutes with  a  softness  that  you'll  love. 

Exquisitely  dainty,  immaculate  and 
inviting;  you  use  it,  then  discard  it. 
White  as  snow  and  soft  as  down,  it  is 
27  times  as  absorbent  as  an  ordinary 
towel;  24  times  as  any  fibre  or  paper 
makeshift! 

Stops  oily  skins  .  .  .  Combats  imper- 
fections .  .  .  Lightens  the  skin 

On  skin  specialists'  advice  women 
today  are  flocking  to  this  new  way. 

By  removing  ALL  dirt  and  grime, 
it  will  give  your  skin  a  tone  three  or 
more  shades  whiter  than  before. 

Old  methods  fail  in  absor- 
bency;  remove  but  part  of  the 
cream  and  grime — rub  the  rest 
back  in.  Thus  your  skin  may 
seem  several  shades  darker  some- 
times than  it  really  is.

Sanitary  Cold  Cream  Remover 


ions 


It  corrects  skin  and  nose  oiliness. 
For  they  come  from  cold  cream  left 
in  the  skin. 

That's  why  you  must  "powder"  now 
so   frequently — why,   too,   imperfect 
often  come. 

This  new  way  corrects  those  con- 
ditions. One  day's  use  will  prove  its 
case  beyond  doubt.

Something  NEW 

for  BOBBED  HAIR( 

There  is  a  tremendous  difference  in  bobs.  Some  are  wonderfully 
attractive  and  becoming,  while  others,  well  —  which  kind  is  yours  ? 

I  wish  you  could  picture  the  becoming  kind  I  have  in  mind — the 
sort  that  makes  men  turn  to  admire.  I  can't  tell  you  what  the  color 
is,  but  it's  full  of  those  tiny  dancing  lights  that  somehow  suggest 
auburn,  yet  which  are  really  no  more  actual  color  than  sunlight  is. 
It's  only  when  the  head  is  moved  that  you  catch  the  auburn  sugges- 
tion—  the  fleeting  glint  of  gold. 

You  have  no  idea  how  much  your  bob  can  be  improved  with  the  "tiny  tint" 
Golden  Glint  Shampoo  will  give  it.  If  you  want  a  bob  like  that  I  have  in  mind, 
buy  a  package  and  see  for  yourself.  At  all  drug  stores,  or  send  25^  direct  to

he  was  taken  ill.  Los  Angeles  and  the  hospital, 
the  return  home  apparently  cured,  and  then 
the  swift  relapse.  He  had  just  celebrated  his 
thirty-fourth  birthday. 

"CROM  operations,  George  Loane  Tucker,  and 
*■  Clarine  Seymour,  that  vivid  girl  of  the  Griffith 
studio,  died.  Tucker  was  the  greatest  director 
next  to  Griffith.  His  "Miracle  Man"  was  a 
great  work.  So,  too,  was  "The  Cinderella 
Man, "  one  of  the  sweetest  films  ever,  in  which 
Tom  Moore  and  Mae  Marsh  starred.  As  for 
little  Clarine — they  called  her  "cutie  leauti- 
ful"  on  the  lot — she  was  absolute  star  stuff. 

Do  you  remember  Arthur  Johnson  of  the 
movie's  earliest  days  and  Kate  Lester,  that 
magnificent  grande  dame?  T.  Ii.  got  Johnson, 
a  long,  lingering,  awful  death.  K;'te  Lester, 
considered  one  of  the  most  beautiful  women 
on  the  stage  during  her  generation,  died  Octo- 
ber 12th  in  the  Hollywood  hospital  from  burns 
received  the  preceding  evening.  Universal 
has  some  trick  kind  of  gas  heaters  in  the  dress- 
ing rooms — they  have  disposed  of  them  now. 
Miss  Lester  had  just  come  in  off  the  set  and 
closed  her  dressing  room  door.  The  next 
moment  the  explosion  was  heard  and  by  the 
time  rescuers  came  she  was  enveloped  in  fire. 

Finally  two  tragedies,  one  of  extreme  youth 
and  one  of  old  age — Lucille  Ricksen  and  " Pop "' 
Lubin. 

In  1925  the  'Wampas  nominated  Lucille  Rick- 
sen a  baby  star.  She  was  just  that.  She  had 
grown  up  in  movies.  In  1923  she  was  playing 
the  parts  of  eight-year-olds.  The  next  year  she 
attracted  the  attention  of  Mickey  Xeilan  who 
made  her  a  leading  woman.  From  childhood 
to  maturity  in  one  year.  She  played  a  heavy, 
emotional  part  opposite  Conrad  Nagel  in 
"Rendezvous.-'  Her  frail  child's  body  couldn't 
stand  it.  She  took  to  her  bed  for  a  long  illness. 
Her  mother  tended  her,  day  and  night,  day  and 
night  for  months.-  She  became  very  tired.  One 
day  as  she  drew  near  Lucille'sbedshe  stretched 
out  her  arms  for  rest.  She  never  moved  from 
there  again. 

It  frightened  the  little  girl  badly,  but  she 
lingered  on  for  three  weeks.  "Oh,  hold  my 
hand,"  she'd  cry  to  Lois  Wilson,  her  loyal 
friend,  who  sat  at  her  bedside.  "Hold  my 
hand,  I'm  going  to  die.  I'm  going  to  die." 
That  was  her  cry  for  days. 

Then  one  day  Lois,  Paul  Bern,  and  Lucille's 
brother,  Marshall,  were  there  close  to  her.  "I 
think  mother  is  waiting,"  Lucille  whispered. 
"Good-bye,  everyone."  And  then  there  was 
stillness  in  the  room  except  for  the  icy  move- 
ment of  the  air  as  it  stole  through  the  windows 
in  that  gray  hour  just  before  dawn. 

Yet  "Pop"  Lubin  was  more  tragic,  for  he 
was  old.  Seventy-two  years  old  and  very  tired. 
His  given  name  was  Seigmund.  but  the  kindly 
nickname  stuck.  He  had  been  born  in  Breslau 
and  came  to  this  country  to  start  an  optical 
shop.  He  got  interested  in  lens,  then  in  the 
camera  and  then  in  making  pictures.  He 
started  by  staging  duplicates  of  famous  prize 
fights,  photographing  them  and  selling  them 
as  single  reels. 

He  became  one  of  the  big  four  of  the  early 
movie  days.  Wealth  came  too.  He  dreamed 
of  a  German  industrial  empire  founded  by 
himself  just  outside  of  Philadelphia  and  spent 
his  money  lavishly. 

He  couldn't  stand  the  gaff.  Litigation  came 
with  Fdison,  then  with  the  government  over 
patents  and  final  dissolution.  He  was  poor 
again,  and  much  older.  He  had  his  living  to 
earn.  He  ended  up  in  the  same  little  optical 
shop  from  which  he  had  started. 

Even  death  is  not  simple  in  the  movie 
colonies. 

Somewhere  in  the  mist  of  the  unknown  they 
are.  these  twenty-seven  people  of  sorrow. 

What  an  all  star  cast,  playing  the  tragedy  of 
Hollywood! 


"See  if  you  can  laugh  that  off,"  said  the  fat 
man's  wife,  wiring  a  button  onto  his  vest.

Adeline   is   his   sweetheart.  .  .  •  Success 
Wealth— Happiness     End. 

THE  PRISCE  OF  BROADWAY— Chad- 
wick 

HERE  is  a  picture  that  will  he  a  wow  among 
thelwys.  It's  a  prize  ring  story  of  a  heav) 
weight  champ  who  trained  on  Broadway  and 
naturally  was  defeated.  His  childhood  sweet- 
heart reforms  him  and  under  the  guidance  of 
Jim  Jeffries  ho  stages  a  successful  comeback. 
Many  famous  fighters  are  introduced:  Jim 
Jeffries,  Capt  Bob  Roper,  Frankie  Genaro, 
VI  Wolgast,  Tommy  Ryan,  Billj  Papke  and 
Leach  Cross.  Can  you  imagine  the  whoops  of 
the  youngsters   when    they   see   their   heroes? 

THE  GILDED  BUTTERFLY— Fox 

A  CASE  of  a  good  little  bluffer  getting  along 
in  life.  She  managed  to  move  in  the  high- 
est of  society,  travel  in  Europe  and  live  in 
luxury — without  having  a  dime.  BUT  when 
-he  was  called  to  task  by  the  man  who  had  been 
her  bank  roil — oh,  well,  that  was  different. 
Alma  Rubens,  Huntley  Gordon  and  Bert  Lytell 
head  the  east.  Not  so  good — that  is,  if  you're 
fussy. 

THE  RED  KIMONO— Vital 

SOMETHING  terrible.  It  started  out  with 
a  good  story  by  Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns  and 
was  directed  by  Mrs.  Wallace  Reid.  But 
somewhere  the  great  qualities  of  those  ladies' 
talents  got  completely  lost.  It*s  that  one  about 
the  innocent,  downtrodden  girl,  the  city  slicker, 
the  white  slavery,  the  slicker  falling  for  the 
other  girl  and  offering  her  a  wedding  ring,  the 
shot,  the  trial,  repentance.  And  then  what  do 
you  suppose  comes?  Surprise,  surprise,  e'est 
le  war.  Xo  matter  how  much  trouble  it  is, 
avoid  this  one. 

MY  LADY  OF  WHIMS— Arrow 

CLARA  BOW  is  again  the  carefree  flapper 
who  defies  family  conventions  and  lives 
with  a  chum  in  Greenwich  Village.  Papa  hires 
Donald  Keith  to  sort  of  spy  on  her  and  natu- 
rally the  inevitable  happens,  but  not  until  the 
director  has  injected  some  would-be  suspense 
action.     It  will  please. 

COUNSEL  FOR  THE  DEFENSE— 
Associated  Exhibitors 

WELL,  again  the  wrong  fellow  is  accused  of 
bribery  and  the  girl's  father  goes  to  jail. 
Xow  the  girl  has  just  been  admitted  to  the  bar 
(don't  judge  us  wrong)  and  she  endeavors  to 
defend  her  father.  All  sorts  of  criminal  of- 
fenses are  committed  in  this  picture  in  the 
name  of  heart  interest  and  only  some  good 
acting  on  the  part  of  Betty  Compson  and  Jay 
Hunt  make  it  a  passable  movie. 

THE  BROADWAY  LADY—F.  B.  O. 

ANOTHER  case  of  a  chorus  girl  with-a- 
heart-of-gold  who  marries  into  a  wealthy 
family.  In  order  to  make  the  plot  seem  more 
complicated  a  murder  is  thrown  in  for  good 
measure  and  of  course  the  innocent  party  ac- 
cused. All  ends  well,  everybody's  happy. 
Fair.

tfirl  who  assumes  charge  of  her  father's  ranch 
only  lo  learn  that  the  foreman  has  a  half- 
interest — and  incidentally  he  loves  her.  She 
spurns  him,  but  through  time  realizes  her  love 
for  him.  If  you  can  stand  the  usual  Western 
you  can  sit  through  this  picture. 

SHIP  OF  SOULS— Associated  Exhibitors 

WE  are  told,  that  far  up  north  in  the  snow 
country  men  are  driven  mad  by  the 
silences  and  solitudes.  To  be  exact  three  men 
go  crazy  during  the  picture  and  you  almost 
join  them  as  you  see  some,  men  sailing  in  a 
queer  little  1  oat  throughout  the  picture. 
Lillian  Rich  and  Bert  Lytell  are  in  the  cast — 
and  if  you  like  them  you'll  enjoy  the  picture. 

THE  GREEN  ARCHER— Pathe 

IF  the  following  episodes  are  as  thrilling  as  the 
first  three,  you  can  be  assured  that  you  will 
enjoy  this.  The  action  of  thLs  picture  gallops 
with  a  speed  that  makes  you  clutch  the  arm  of 
}rour  neighbor  and  breathe  in  gasps,  wondering 
what's  coming  next.  Alene  Ray,  Walter  Mil- 
ler, Burr  Mcintosh  and  Frank  Lacteen  com- 
prise the  capable  cast. 

EAST  LYNNE—Fox 

THIS  decayed  old  melodrama  is  almost  en- 
tertaining in  the  Fox  film  version.  The 
film  play  is  well  cast,  with  Alma  Rubens, 
Edmund  Lowe,  Lou  Tellegan  and  Belle  Ben- 
nett playing  the  principal  roles. 

It  has  many  beautifully  pictorial  natural  set- 
tings of  the  countryside  of  East  Lynne.  The 
story,  of  course,  is  rather  impossible,  but  these 
capable  players  make  it  seem  almost  convinc- 
ing. 

VOLCANO— Paratnoun  t 

THE  plot  is  not  new — that  of  the  lovely  girl 
forced  to  renounce  love  because  she  thinks 
she  has  black  blood  and  then  it's  not  true — but 
the  picture  is  packed  with  charm  and  romance. 
The  color  of  its  setting,  the  tropical  isle  of 
Martinique,  emerges  triumphant  and  glamor- 
ous. Bebe  Daniels  appears  very  beautiful  in 
ilulTy  hoop  skirts  and  gives  one  of  her  best  per- 
formances. Ricardo  Cortez  is  excellent.  Fine 
entertainment.

Questions  and  Answers 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE   117  ] 

Fritz. — You  think  me  a  conceited  young 
man  do  you?  Fritz,  how  you  wrong  me.  You 
are  making  me  bow  my  ancient  and  honorable 
head  with  its  snowy  while  hairs  over  my  type- 
writer and  break  down  in  sobs  and  sorrows. 
Nevertheless,  to  prove  to  you  what  a  kind  old 
nature  I've  got  111  answer  your  inquiries.  The 
bees  in  Bebe  Daniels'  name  are  just  like  the  lues 
in  the  garden.  Hebe  is  not  married,  wise  young 
girl.  So  you  love  Gloria,  Norma,  Man-  P.  and 
Lois  M .    Aren't  you  the  lovingest  thing? 

Rom.wa  Retj. — I  fall  for  you  and  I'll  be 
true,  Romana  Reu.  Do  you  know  you've  got 
one  of  those  poetic  names?  'Tis  true,  Romana 
Reu.  Betty  Bronson  was  born  in  Trenton.  X. 
J.,  but  she  soon  decided  to  leave  the  dust  of 
that  city  behind  her  for  the  gold  dust  of  Holly- 
wood. It  was  the  seventeenth  of  November, 
1906,  that  Hetty  was  born.  By  1922  she  was 
in  pictures  with  "Peter  Pan"  her  wonderful 
chance  at  fame.  Her  latest  work  is  the  Madonna 
in  "Ben-Hur,"  and  very  beautiful  she  is. 

Another  Betty. — I  never  heard  of  a  Betty 
who  wasn't  a  darn  nice  kid  so  that  makes 
everything  Jake  with  you  and  me.  Your  favor- 
ites are  Malcolm  McGregor  and  Norma 
Shearer.  Very  good  judgment.  I'll  say.  Mal- 
colm is  married  and  his  birthday  is  October 
13th.  The  first  one  happened  in  1896.  Sorry, 
but  I  don't  know  of  any  stars  born  on  January 
11.    Don't  be  bashful.    Write  again. 

Billy. — Send  "Brickbats  and  Bouquets" 
to  Photoplay,  221  West  57th  St.,  N.  Y.  C. 
Whom  do  you  want  in  the  magazine?  Tell  me, 
Billy,  and  I'll  tell  the  boss.  Harrison  Ford  is 
thirty-four.  He's  divorced.  You'll  see  a  pic- 
ture of  your  Harrison  in  next  month's  issue. 

E.  V.  E. — Are  you  really?  That  was  a  very 
nice  letter  of  yours.  Sorry  your  other  got  lost. 
Your  friend,  Huntley  Gordon's  latest  picture  is 
"The  Gilded  Butterfly."  Did  you  see  his 
picture  in  this  issue?  Doesn't  that  make  you 
happy?    Happy  New  Year  yourself. 

R.  L.,  Baltimore. — His  name  is  Rex  Lease 
and  he  isn't  married,  so  go  to  it.  Thanks  for 
the  New  Year's  greeting.  That  was  very'  nice 
of  you  to  remember  a  lonely  old  man  with 
nothing  but  ten  thousand  questions  to  answer.

"The  Flaming  Frontier 

or 

The  Indians 
Are  Coming 

A  Thrilling  American  Epic 
♦  ♦ 

This  is   a  picture 

that  every  red-blooded 

American  will  want  to  see.  In 

it   the   great   plainsman    and 

hero-scout,  Col.  GeorgeCuster, 

lives  over  again,  as  well  as  his 

gallant  comrades,  and  the  scenes  in  which  he  won  his  greatest  glory 

and  met  his  untimely  end,  are  re-enacted  with  startling  vividness. 

It  is  the  story  of  the  battle  of  the  Little  Big 

Horn  and  the  Custer  Massacre  in  which  the  crafty 
villains  were  Chief  John  Gall  and  his  treacherous  Medicine 
Man,  Sitting  Bull.  It  portrays  Custer's  heroic  efforts  to  sub- 
due the  Indians  and  defeat  the  graft-ring  in  Washington. 

During   the  action,    Pres.    Grant,    Gen. 

Sherman,  Red  Cloud  and  Sitting  Bull  appear  actively, 
and  the  magnificent  courage  with  which  every  American  school- 
boy is  familiar  is  shown  in  a  great  series  of  thrilling  scenes.  A 
beautiful  love-story  runs  through  the  play  and  all  in  all  it  will 
prove  one  of  the  most  intensely  interesting  of  American  pictures. 

In  the  cast  are  such  sterling  actors   as 

HOOT  GIBSON,  a  young  lieutenant  who  sacrifices 
himself  to  aid  Custer's  cause;  DUSTIN  FARNUM,  who  essays 
the  role  of  Col.  Custer;  ANNE  CORNWALL,  GEORGE  FAW- 
CETT,  KATHLEEN  KEY,  WARD  CRANE  and  NOBLE 
JOHNSON,  as  well  as  various  tribes  of  Indians,  troops  of  cav- 
alry, and  several  thousandothers.  Directed  by  Edward  Sedgwick. 

Ask  the  manager  of  your  favorite  theatre 
NOW  to  get  "  The  Flaming  Frontier  or  The  Indians 
Are  Coming"  as  well  as  "The  Midnight  Sun"  with  LAURA 
LA  PLANTE;  "The  Phantom  of  the  Opera"  with  LON 
CHANEY;  "The  Cohens  and  Kellys;"  "Sporting  Youth" 
and  "California  Straight  Ahead,"  "What  Happened  to 
Jones"  and  "Skinner's  Dress  Suit,"  all  with  REGINALD

Dillon.  Del  Henderson  and  his  wife,  Florence 
Lawrence,  Marion  Leonard,  Arthur  Johnson, 
Owen  Moore  and  Mack  Sennett.  Mack  was 
the  studio's  nickel  nurser. 

He  was  never  known  to  spend  a  cent  until 
the  historic  day  that  he  presented  Mabel  Xor- 
mand  with  a  seventy-five  dollar  diamond. 

When  Mabel  returned  the  stone,  Mack  tried 
to  sell  it  for  a  ten  dollar  profit. 

Tom  Incc's  pale  young  wife  came  around 
occasionally,  when  she  could  find  somebody  to 
leave  with  the  Ince  baby,  and  Violet  Mersereau 
helped  out  once  in  a  while. 

They  all  wore  one  another's  clothes,  and  a 
silk  dress  or  an  overcoat  assured  anyone  an 
engagement. 

By  1909  Griffith  was  feeling  his  wings  a  little. 
He  was  on  a  royalty  basis  with  Biograph  and, 
though  none  of  them  could  quite  believe  it,  the 
pictures  were  selling. 

There  was  a  single  month  when  the  Griffith 
check  came  to  S900. 

Linda  banked  it  all. 

She  couldn't  believe  such  good  fortune  could 
be  permanent. 

THE  Biograph  director  decided  upon  a  dram- 
atization of  "Pippa  Passes,"  from  Brown- 
ing's poem.  Standard  poems  and  novels  were 
always  chosen  because  the  plots  were  acces- 
sible. Nobody  ever  thought  of  copyrights  or 
things  of  that  sort.  Griffith  hunted  and  hunted 
for  the  girl  to  play  the  lead  in  that  picture.  He 
saw  her  finally  in  the  waiting  room  of  the 
studio. 

"She  is  just  the  girl  I  want,"  Griffith  said, 
and  signed  her.  Her  name  then  was  Gladvs 
Smith. 

Again  Griffith  had  stumbled  on  a  million. 
Vou  know  what  her  name  is  now. 

Blanche  Sweet  joined  the  company  by  the 
same  chance.  Griffith  thought  she  was  terrible 
and  said  so. 

But  Blanche  stuck  and  she  finally  played 
in  such  tender  bits  as  "The  Smile  of  a 
Child,"  "A  White  Rose  of  the  Wilds,"  and 
similar  offerings. 

Sidney  Olcott  came  into  the  studio  and 
impressed  them  all.  For  Sidney  had  been  a 
movie  actor  in  "The  Village  Cut-up"  'way 
back  in  1004,  and  was  supposed  to  know 
all  about  the  business. 

Mack  Sennett  did"The  Curtain  Pole."  where- 
in he  played  a  mad  French  count  and  proved 
himself  to  be  Biograph's  best  comedian. 

After  that,  they  had  to  keep  him. 

And  all  this  while  Hollywood  was  only  a 
place  where  the  Japs  raised  carnations!  Young 
'lorn  Ince  went  out  there,  and  the  Griffiths 
visited  his  studio. 

Their  hearts  were  with  the  old  Biograph 
outfit,  however,  and  they  decided  to  stick  to 
the  Fast,  a  decision  Griffith  hasn't  abandoned 
very  much  to  this  day. 

Then  almost  overnight,  Mary  Pickford,  an- 
nouncing her  secret  marriage  to  Owen  Moore, 
went  over  to  the  Imp  company.  Cecil  De 
Mille,  son  of  a  playwright.  Jesse  l.asky.  a 
vaudeville  booking  agent,  and  Sam  Goldfish, 
his  brother-in-law,  a  glove  salesman,  formed  a 
producing  company. 

Trade  papers  appeared  and  fan  mail,  and 
there  was  even  talk  of  a  ten-cent  movie. 

"The  time  will  come,"  said  Griffith,  "when 
you  will  see  movies  presented  on  Broadway 
just  like  regular  plays." 

Thai  was  too  much,  however,  for  anyone  to 
believe.  That  got  Griff  a  laugh  always.  They 
let  him 'dream  until  "The  Birth  of  a  Nation" 
awoke  them. 

"When  the  Mo\ies  Were  Voting. "  That  is 
the  store  Mrs.  Griffith  tells.

A  Victim  of  Prejudice 


[CONTINUED  FROM  PACT  37  ] 

her  sweeping  triumph  than  Carol.     She  flut- 
tered aruund  in  a  daze  alter  reading  the 
ing  reviews  of  the  New  York  newspaper  and 
magazine  critics.    1  K-r  eyes  dimmed, 

"Why    why,  they  like  me,"  brokenly. 

The  wondrous  surprise  in  these  word-  threw 
wide  the  inner  door  that  houses  the  real  Carol 

They  showed  for  a  fleeting  moment  a  bruised, 
quivery  little  thing,  the  Oliver  Twist  of  motion 
pictures,  grown  wearily  accustomed  to  slurs,  to 

knocks,  to  taunt.-.. 

Indeed,  one  critic  went  so  far  as  to  discover 
Mi>s  Dempster  had  sex  appeal.   This  delighted 

Carol.     She  chortled  like  a  youngster  riding  on 

the  shoot-the-shoots  in  an  amusement  park 

with  a  hag  of  peanuts  clutched  in  one  nerve- 
chilled  hand:  "Isn't  it  wonderful?" 

From  the  way  she  said  this,  we  hail  a  sneak 
ing  hunch  l'ollyanua  might  really  live  in  the 
same  apartment  house,  even  though  May 
Allison  does  call  us  the  "girl  cynic." 

Carol  Dempster's  charm  is  due  not  only  to 
her  butterfly-ish  enchantment  in  life  and  those 
about  her.  It  is  her  fitful  moodiness,  restless 
imaginativeness,  girlish  whimsicalities,  brood- 
ing tragicness.  She  is  an  intriguing  mystery 
girl  with  the  elusive  qualities  of  a  "  Peter  Pan" 
and  a  sophomore  edition  of  Marie  Antoinette 

"  That  Royle  Girl"  defied  the  world  first 
sonic  twenty  odd  years  ago  when  she  shook  a 
tiny  reil  list  at  her  nurse  in  Duluth,  Minn.  The 
Middle  West  had  been  pronounced  by  wily 
picture  producers  as  the  home  of  the  motion 
picture  public.  It  means  more  to  us  now.  since 
we  know  Carol  Dempster  hails  from  there. 
When  she  was  a  tot,  the  Dempsters  moved  to 
a  ranch  in  Santa  Barbara  County,  California. 
Here,  in  joyous  freedom,  Carol  blossomed  into 
girlhood,  roaming  the  fields  and  the  moun- 
tains, a  bubblesome,  mischievous  child.  From 
Dame  Xature,  the  greatest  teacher  there  is  for 
those  whose  eyes  are  open,  she  learned  color, 
rhythm,  drama.    It  grew  all  around  her. 

Carol  relates  with  guilty  humor  her  envy  of 
the  sister  who  had  a  gold  filling  in  her  front 
tooth.  Bethinking  herself  she  might  have  one 
too,  Carol  slipped  into  the  woods  and,  en- 
couraged by  murmurous  leaves  and  an  impish 
brook,  concentrated  ferociously  on  boring  a 
hole  in  her  front  tooth.  That  she  failed  in  her 
endeavor  was  certainly  not  due  to  effort ! 

WITH  dreamy  eyes,  she  narrates  the  days 
spent  horseback  riding  through  the  allur- 
ing beauty  of  the  country.  At  night,  she  was 
wont  to  steal  away  by  herself  and  yield  ecstat- 
ically to  the  Lorelei  that  was  the  harmonious 
nocturnal  noises  the  moon-kissed  earth  and 
heavens.    Romance,  Beauty,  Life. 

Carol  left  her  beloved  ranch  when  in  her 
early  teens  to  study  dancing  at  Denishawn,  in 
Los  Angeles.  Miss  St.  Denis  became  keenly 
interested  in  her  youthful  pupil,  perceiving  in 
her  a  second  Pavlowa.  With  the  perversity  of 
talent,  however,  Carol's  interest  switched  to 
the  cinema  and  one  fateful  morning  she  betook 
herself  to  D.  W.  Griffith's  studio. 

We  can  just  see  her  prancing  onto  the  lot, 
chin  up,  eyes  sparkling.  We  can  see  her  sud- 
denly losing  courage  when  confronted  by  the 
business-like  casting  office  sign  and  the  many 
extras  waiting  their  turn  to  ask:  "Anything  to- 
day? "  Oft  times,  Carol  resembles  an  elf,  fear- 
fully brave  until  a  new  sound  sends  her  scurry- 
ing to  cover. 

It  so  happened  that  the  gods  smiled  on  this 
timid,  adventurous  girl,  for  before  she  could 
flee,  D.  W.  Griffith,  himself,  happened  along 
and  espied  Miss  Hopeful.  Mr.  Griffith 
scrutinizes  a  person  once,  and  can  immediately 
tell  you  what  that  person  is  all  about.  Scant 
wonder,  as  we  realize  now,  that  he  signaled  her 
out  for  permanent  work. 

With  success  greeting  her  so  generously, 
Carol  tossed  aside  dancing.    Whereupon  Miss 


Your  Excess  Weight 

Can  be  eliminated,  as  millions  are  now  doing. 
No  abnormal  exercise  or  diet.  Simply  correct 
the  internal  cause  in  this  easy,  pleasant  way. 


Few  are  Fat 

In  these  modern  days 

Note  how  slenderness  prevails  in  every 
circle  nowadays.  Excess  fat  is  not  one- 
tenth  so  common  as  it  was.  Every  idea 
of  beauty,  health  and  fitness  calls  for 
normal  weight,  and  people  are  conform- 
ing. 

All  must  realize  that  a  new  factor  has 
appeared.  People  have  found  an  easy, 
pleasant  way  to  reduce,  a  scientific  way. 
And  the  over-fat  by  millions  are  now 
gaining  normal  weight. 

This  is  to  tell  you  that  method,  to 
offer  a  test  at  our  cost,  then  under  our 
guarantee.  You  owe  to  yourself  this 
knowledge  if  you  suffer  overweight. 

Correct  the  Cause 

The  cause  of  excess  fat  usually  lies 
in  a  certain  gland.  Correcting  that  con- 
dition stops  the  extra  fat  formation. 
Modern  research  has  proved  this  beyond 
any  question.  All  animals,  all  human 
beings  respond  to  this  treatment  at  once. 

The  treatment  is  embodied  at  its  best 
in  Marmola  Prescription  Tablets.  They 
have  been  used  for  18  years.  The  use 
has  grown  and  grown,  until  people  are 
now  using  over  a  million  boxes  yearly. 

The  use  involves  no  abnormal  exercise 
or  diet.  One  simply  takes  four  tablets 
daily,  and  lives  a  regular  regime.  When 
the  weight  returns  to  normal,  stop  Mar- 
mola. If  excess  fat  appears  again,  check 
it  at  once  in  this  way.

by  the  best  authorities.  Then  the  body 
can  adjust  itself  to  the  new  conditions. 
Wrinkles  are  not  created.  The  amount 
of  reduction  is  always  at  your  command.

any  abnormal  condition. 


Be  Slender

and  more  uncommon.  You  can  see  that 
everywhere.  Almost  all  can  attain  a 
normal  weight  in  an  easy,  pleasant  way.

To  keep  you  lovely 

all  day  long 

The  girl  who  prides  herself  on  her 
attractiveness  calls  Bathasweet 
her  favorite  luxury,  not  only  be- 
cause it  entrances  her  senses,  but 
because  it  adds  so  greatly  to  her 
loveliness  thruout  the  day.

bathes  in  water  as  fragrant  as  a  flower 
garden,  and  so  soft  it  cleanses  the  pores 
as  no  ordinary  water  can,  leaving  her 
skin  delightfully  comfortable,  radiantly 
healthy  and  smooth  as  velvet  to  the  touch. 
Then  for  the  rest  of  the  day  an  almost 
scentless  perfume  clings  about  her,  keep- 
ing her  always  sweet  and  fresh  and  lov- 
able. Yet  Bathasweet  is  inexpensive.  25c,

St.  Denis  visited  Mr.  Griffith.  She  told  him 
the  girl's  possibilities  and  future  in  the  world  of 
terpsichore  and  asked  if  she  would  have  a 
similar  chance  in  the  cinema.  -Mr.  Griffith 
replied  in  the  affirmative,  and  Miss  St.  Denis 
departed,  satisfied. 

A  few  years  passed  by  with  Miss  Dempster 
enacting  roles  of  little  consequence  and  coming 
in  for  less  recognition.  One  wonders  at  her 
tenacity  in  the  face  of  progress  comparable,  in 
its  way,  to  the  evolution  theory.  Hut  Carol 
was  learning.  She  learned  by  watching  Mr. 
Griffith  direct.  She  learned  l>y  studying  his 
more  experienced  players  execute  his  order-. 
Her  environment  was  nothing  short  of  perfect 
and  she.  with  her  far-seeing  mind,  compre- 
hended this. 

TL_TER  first  big  chance  came  with  "Dream 
■*■  -^-Street,"  a  Limehouse  story  with  dubious 
appeal.  Time  did  another  nose-dive,  climaxed 
by  Mr.  Griffith  astounding  his  colleagues  by 
permitting  the  Gish  girls  to  leave  his  fold  and 
promoting  the  scarcely  known  Carol  Dempster 
to  featured  player  in  "Isn't  Life  Wonderful?" 

"Why!"  condemned  the  gaspers,  "is  D.  W. 
going  mad?" 

D.  W.  had  learned  his  p's  and  q's,  evidently. 
before  most  of  us  realize  they  are  the  pivot 
letters  in  life's  crossword  puzzle.  This  picture 
served  as  the  elevator  that  rode  Carol  into  the 
spotlight  and  made  her  a  prejudicial  target 
"Sally  of  the  Sawdust"  established  her 
stronger  and  "That  Royle  Girl''  makes  her  an 
acknowledged  artist.  It  also  stills  the  prej- 
udiced— mayhap,  forever. 

Occupying  the  center  of  the  stage,  with  the 
plaudits  of  critics  and  public  still  ringing 
sweetly  in  her  ears,  Carol  Dempster  remains 
the  same  Carol  Dempster  she  was  three  years 
ago.  Only,  of  course,  she  has  discarded  much 
of  the  heavy  armor  donned  to  protect  herself 
from  verbal  sharpshooters.  She  is  more  blithe, 
gayer,  but  just  as  engrossed  in  her  work  as 
ever.  More  so,  we  think,  as  she  is  primed  to 
forge  even  further  ahead  as  foremost  among 
the  screen's  most  versatile  and  gifted  actresses. 

"Right  is  might."  Carol  Dempster  has 
accomplished  the  impossible.  She  has  shown 
herself  to  be  no  prototype  of  any  actress  and 
conquered  the  fearful  "bogey"  that  menaces 
every  screen  player — prejudice. 


A  Comedy  of  Errors

doubt,  that  Gilbert  Roland  is  a  romantic  young 
lad,  and  besides,  he  was  playing  in  Tola  Negri's 
pictures  and,  well— you  never  know  what  will 
happen. 

For  three  weeks,  however,  wires  and  letters 
chased  each  other  back  and  forth  between  the 
four  interested  parties  in  this  up-to-date 
comedy  of  errors,  until  Herbert  Brenon  made 
the  final  scene  of  "Dancing  Mothers." 

"Good-bye,"  said  Miss  How  and  Mr.  Keith. 

"What's  your  hurry?"  asked  Brenon; 
"where  are  you  going?" 

"We  have  some  important  business  to  settle 
back  in  Hollywood,"  replied  Clara. 

And  that  is  about  all  there  is  to  the  story, 
except  that,  to  paraphrase  again  from  Shake- 
speare, "All's  well  that  ends  well,"  and  Clara 
and  her  boy  friend,  and  Donald  and  his  girl 
friend,  were  all  set  (at  last  reports').

UMMerCMusterole 
for  Small  Children 

Thousands  of  mothers  tell  us 
they  would  not  be  without 
Children's  Musterole,  the  new, 
milder  form  of  good  old  Mus- 
terole especially  prepared  for 
babies  and  small  children. 

At  night,  when  awakened  by  the 
warning,  croupy  cough,  rub  the  clean, 
white  ointment  gently  over  the  child's 
throat  and  chest. 

Children's  Musterole,  like  regular 
Musterole,  penetrates  the  skin  with  a 
warming  tingle  and  goes  quickly  to 
the  seat  of  the  trouble. 

It  does  not  blister  like  the  old-fash- 
ioned mustard  plaster  and  it  is  not 
messy  to  apply. 

Made  from  pure  oil  of  mustard,  it 
takes  the  kink  out  of  stiffnecks,  makes 
sore  throats  well,  stops  croupy  coughs 
and  colds.

The  Enigma  of  the  Screen 


|  CON  LiM  i  D  i  ROM  PAG]    63  | 

lacking  in  range,  From  the  moment  she  steps 
on  the  screen  there  is  the  feeling  oi  inevitable 
doom.  Too  gentle  u>r  t his  world's  pain,  bei 
only  hope  oi  happiness  appears  in  death  <>i  the 
cloister.  And  so  obviously  is  t hi>  fate  written 
in  her  every  aspect  thai  suspense  is  lessened 

The  emotion  she  arouses  in  one  is  that  oi  an 
infinite  and  poignant  pity.    Pity  is  akin  to  love 
hut  it  can  never  be  love,  even  though  it  is  In  ai  1 
rending. 

.Miss  Gisli  is  a  student,  she  does  not  rely  on 
inspiration.  There  is  nothing  spontaneous  in 
lu-r  work.  It  is  carefulrj  motivated,  studied 
and  timed.  This  in  do  way  detracts  from  hei 
worth  as  an  artist,  or  a  possible  genius, 
irdo  da  Vinci  fashioned  the  smile  on  the 
face  of  Mona  l.is.i  as  mathematically  as  Lillian 
dish  has  drawn  a  similar  smile  on  her  own  like- 
ness. Like  her,  also,  he  was  divinely  detached 
and  unemotional  He  would  follow  a  man  to 
the  gallows  to  catch  the  expression  on  his  face 
that  he  might  express  the  anguish  later  on  his 
canvas. 

Miss  Ciish  has  that  infinite  capacity  for  tak- 
ing pains  that  the  greatest  artists  have  had. 
Unfortunately  she  is  not  a  free  artist  as  is  the 
painter,  the  sculptor  or  the  writer  who  relies 
only  on  his  implements.  She  works  in  a 
medium  that  requires  collaboration.  A  tilm 
cutter  can  ruin  utterly  the  finest  masterpiece. 
A  director  or  a  scenario  writer  without  under- 
standing of  her  peculiar  gift  can  fail  in  provid- 
ing her  with  the  proper  sitting  for  it.  A  super- 
visor with  a  set  commercial  formula  can,  by 
applying  it  to  her  pictures,  make  of  her  a 
commercial  failure. 

\^  .1  .  lassii .  Lillian  Gish  may  be  commer- 
cially successful,  but  as  a  regular  commercial 
routine  star,  grinding  on  schedule  with  what- 
ever material  is  at  hand,  her  fate  at  the  box- 
office  would  be  as  tragic  as  it  invariably  is  on 
the  screen. 

More  than  any  other  star  Miss  Gish  must  be 
her  own  producer.  'Whether  or  not  she  has  the 
capacity  remains  to  be  seen,  and  whether  or 
not  she  is  permitted  to  be  is  still  another 
matter. 

Her  stellar  power  has  been  tried  in  but  two 
pictures,  "The  White  Sister"  and  "Romola," 
a  success  and  a  failure.  Her  performance  in 
"The  White  Sister"  was  as  fine  as  anything  she 
ever  gave  the  screen.  Her  story  and  her  char- 
acter were  carefully  devised. 

In  "  Romola"  she  was  but  a  figure  on  a  mov- 
ing tapestry,  and  as  such  she  is  no  more 
effective  than  many  other  actresses.  She  was 
not  as  big  as  her  reputation. 

WITNESSES  of  the  playing  of  scenes  in  "La 
Boheme"  felt  this  strongly.  The  acting 
methods  of  John  Gilbert  and  Miss  Gish  are 
entirely  different.  Gilbert  works  on  mood. 
Lillian  would  film  a  scene  only  after  it  had  been 
rehearsed  several  times.  When  the  time  came 
that  the  scene  was  actually  being  photographed 
she  knew  exactly  the  effects  she  was  going  to 
create  and  when  and  where.  Gilbert  was  loud 
in  his  praise  of  her.  He  expressed  the  opinion 
that  she  was  the  great  artist  of  the  screen  and 
that  she  knew  more  technically  than  anyone 
else.  Yet  plainly  his  work  was  suffering  under 
that  method.  During  the  first  and  second 
rehearsals  of  the  scene  his  work  would  be  mag- 
nificent. After  the  fifth  or  sixth  repetition  of 
it,  he  was  stale. 

The  term  "technician"  should  not  be  dis- 
paraged, provided  it  is  properly  employed  to 
signify  one  who  gains  effects  mentally  rather 
than  emotionally.  It  is  what  the  screen 
requires.  The  camera  does  not  wait  on  heaven

You  can  awaken  in  your  hair  a  living

for  use  at  home,  in  HENNAFOAM 
SHAMPOO.  The  clear,  faintly  fragrant 
liquid  of  HENNAFOAM  SHAMPOO 
contains  just  the  right  touch  of  henna 
to  bring  out  all  the  richest  natural

.Miss  Gish  is  perhaps  the  greatest  student 
among  motion  picture  actresses.  A  humorous 
story  is  told  of  how  she  learned  to  swim.  An 
iiisi  ructor  had  told  her  that  she  should  learn  to 
floal  first  if  she  wanted  to  he  the  best  swimmer. 
Water  terrified  her,  hut  she  bravely  clamped  a 
clothes  pin  on  her  nose  and  went  floating  for 
dass  until  she  was  proficient.  Today  she  is  a 
mermaid.  That  is  Lillian  Gish — thoroughness, 
conscientiousness,  perseverance. 

Will  she  overcome  all  limitations,  her  own 
and  those  artificially  imposed?  Will  she  prove 
lo  l»e,  as  many  believe  she  will,  the  greatest 
ai  i  ress  of  an  immortal  screen? 

Personally  I  feel  that  she  is  going  to  be 
either  one  of  the  enduring  great  or  a  complete 
failure.  A  half-way  position  for  her  is  im- 
possihle.

Yes,  buttermilk  is  very  fattening.  You 
should  lose  at  least  ten  pounds.  White  bread 
is  another  fattening  food,  and  so,  too,  are  all 
nuts.  To  reduce  the  hips,  do  any  pedaling 
exercises,  like  bicycle  riding,  either  real,  or  rid- 
ing an  imaginary  bicycle  while  lying  flat  on  the 
back  in  your  home  gym.  Dancing  helps  the 
hips,  and  walking.  If  you  want  definite  exer- 
cises for  reducing  and  diet,  send  me  a  stamped, 
self-addressed  envelope,  and  I'll  have  them 
mailed  to  you.  You  can  wear  black,  with 
touches  of  white  about  the  face,  cream  and 
ivory  white,  brown,  sapphire  blue,  particularly 
if  your  eyes  have  some  blue  in  them,  orchid, 
dark  red,  yellow  and  pink.  Brush  your  hair 
thoroughly  night  and  morning.  Keep  it  very 
clean  and  I  believe  its  general  health  will  im- 
prove. Dark  rachel  powder  and  a  pink  rouge 
and  lipstick  would  be  best  for  you. 

Lorene. 

You  are  too  heavy.  Send  me  a  stamped 
envelope  for  reducing  instructions.  I  will  post 
you  at  the  same  time  the  treatment  for  acne, 
which  is  what  causes  your  skin  eruptions.  The 
colors  I  have  recommended  to  Edith  H.  above 
are  the  correct  ones  for  you.  too.  There  isn't 
any  way  of  removing  superfluous  hair  pain- 
lessly. 

Celia  A.,  New  Jersey. 

You  are  not  overweight.  Keep  your  hair 
very  clean  and  its  natural  color.  Don't  use 
any  bleach,  for  one's  natural  coloring  is  always 
more  flattering  to  one's  face  than  any  acquired 
lint.  1  think  the  best  haircut  for  you  would  be 
a  modified  shingle,  with  the  hair  cut  close  in 
back  and  close  but  soft  about  the  face.  Gloria 
Swanson's  latest  bob  ought  to  become  you. 
Friends  are  much  more  important  than  not 
wearing  glasses.  Go  to  a  good  oculist  at  once 
and  have  your  eyes  treated.  Building  up  your 
general  health  will  help  your  eyes,  too.  I'm 
glad  to  have  heard  from  you. 

E.  D.,  Seattle. 

You  are  a  little  underweight,  but  don't 
worry  about  it  for  you  are  still  growing  and 
you'll  probably  get  both  taller  and  heavier. 
Are  you  sure  you  are  eating  sufficient  good, 
nourishing  foods?    At  your  age.  you  should  be.

more  about  yourself  and  life,  and  be  more  cer- 
tain of  the  type  of  boy  you  want  to  love,  and 
what  love  is.  Write  me  again  if  you  want  to.

In  a  profession  where  willingness  to  lay  bare 
to  the  public  each  intimate  thought  and  char- 
acteristic amounts  almost  to  an  anxiety,  Mr. 
Colman's  gentlemanly  reserve  is  quite  refresh- 
ing. He  leaves  something  to  the  imagination, 
thereby  adding  charm  to  his  personality.  One 
feels  that  there  is  latent  power  and  strength  of 
character  in  such  a  man — a  depth  that  is  not 
sounded  by  the  average  interviewer. 

His  antipathy  to  the  title,  "the  screen's 
greatest  lover,"  is  wholly  justifiable.  That  is 
publicity  of  the  cheapest  kind,  attracting  only 
people  of  mediocre  intelligence;  the  kind  that 
made  Yalentino's  popularity  of  short  duration. 
However,  one  need  not  fea'r  that  Mr.  Colman 
will  become  maudlin  or  spoiled  thereby.  He  is 
made  of  sterner  stuff.

gentsia, hut  respected  as  an  art,  Mr.  Gilbert's 
meritorious  performances  are  a  source  of 
genuine  gratification.  His  characterization  of 
the  American  doughboy  in  "The  Big  Parade," 
his  latest,  was  intelligent  and  illuminating. 
Many  believe  that  he  has  reached  the  zenith  of 
his  career  with  this  picture,  but  it  is  my  firm 
conviction  that  even  greater  things  may  be 
expected  of  this  unassuming  young  man.

things  have  changed 

Sometimes  on  rising  in  the  morning  you 
feel  that  the  day  is  spoiled.  Some  clogging 
of  the  system  affects  your  fitness,  your  good 
nature,  your  vim. 

Then  do  this:  Drink  a  glass  of  water,  hot 
or  cold.  Add  a  little  Jad  Salts,  and  you  will 
have  a  sparkling,  pleasant  drink. 

That  drink  will  flush  the  intestines,  wash 
out  the  poisons  and  waste.  The  results 
come  quickly.  They  come  from  the  acids 
of  lemon  and  grape  combined  with  lithia, 
etc. 

Note  how  things  change  in  an  hour.  Then 
remember  you  can  bring  them  any  hour  of 
the  day.     And  in  a  sparkling  drink.

Pola  and  the  "Machine" 

Los  Angeles,  Calif. 

What  are  they  doing  to  Pola  Xegri?  Before 
she  saw  the  Statue  of  Liberty  she  was  a  great 
actress.  She  was  like  a  diamond,  all  ice  and 
llame.  with  sharp,  brilliant  facets.  But  now, 
(hough  she  may  retain  those  qualities  under 
Lubitsch's  direction,  with  any  other  direction 
the  diamond  becomes  a  piece  of  glass. 

( )f  course,  the  stories  they  give  her  are 
atrocious.  But  at  the  risk  of  shocking  Herbert 
Howe,  I  want  to  say  that  Pola,  the  wild  and 
terrible,  is  far,  far  too  tame. 

Why  doesn't  she  demand  good  pictures? 
Why  doesn't  she  stamp  and  rave  and  display 
her  famous  temperament  until  the  producers 
are  ready  to  offer  her  anything  from  Lucresia 
Borgia  to  Salvation  Nell? 

There  are  dozens  of  great  roles  that  seem 
almost  to  have  been  written  for  Pola.  Who 
else  could  give  us  Lady  Macbeth,  or  Oscar 
Wilde's  Mary  Stuart?  What  other  actress 
could  play  Anna  Karcnina? 

Why,  the  original  Daisy  in  "East  ol  Suez" 
would  have  suited  her  perfectly.  A  half-caste, 
torn  between  two  worlds,  kept  from  each  by 
the  chains  that  bind  her  to  the  other.  The 
pitiful,  eternal  tragedy  of  the  Eurasian.  What 
a  role  for  Pola  Negri!  And  on  the  screen  she 
was  changed  into  a  pure  minded  gal  who  was 
pursued  by  the  villain  in  the  most  approved 
dime  novel  style. 

Pola  Negri  is  too  fine  an  actress  to  lose  to  the 
machine.

The  Ten  Handsomest 

Philadelphia.  Pa. 

I  don't  agree  with  Mrs.  St.  Johns'  selection 
of  the  ten  handsomest  men  on  the  screen.  I 
think  a  screen  writer's  selections  are  usually 
the  fruit  of  arbitrary  whim. 

There  are  not  ten  strictly  handsome  men  on 
the  screen.  There  are  plenty  of  good  looking 
men,  but  that  is  something  else  again.  Har- 
rison Ford.  Ben  Lyon  and  Lloyd  Hughes  are  all 
good  looking,  but  no  more  so  than  William 
Collier,  Jr.,  Forrest  Stanley  and  several  others. 
These  are  not  heavyweights,  neither  are  they 
remarkable  for  strict  regularity  of  feature, 
great  acting  ability  or  strong  personality. 
Richard  Dix  has  the  latter  attribute  and  he  is 
probably  what  people  call  good  looking  in  real 
life,  but  that  massive  nose  and  other  rough 
hewn  features  prevent  his  having  any  claim  lo 
being  handsome. 

Of  the  nine  1  should  select,  any  one  of  them 
could  be  imagined  off  the  screen.  It  is  hardly 
an  impartial  list,  for  I  dislike  Valentino,  have 
onl\  the  mildest  interest  in  Meighan,  and  have 
liked  Ian  Keith  in  only  one  picture  George 
O'Brien  is  to  me  completely  uninteresting 
except  in  a  light,  and  1  am  tiring  even  oi 
Barthelmess  because  he  is  obviously  such  a 
keen  business  man.  My  list  is'  John  Barry- 
more.  Ramon  Navarro,  Richard  Barthelmess, 
Thomas  Meighan.  Ronald  Colman,  Rudolph 
Valentino,  Ian  Keith.  Edmund  Lowe  and 
George  O'Brien.

[ncrediblel  A  lisl  oi  the  ten  handsomest 
men  of  the  screen  with  Conwaj  rearle  left  out ! 

lo  begin  with,  his  figure  i>  in  perfect  propor- 
tion plnn,  lithe,  not  too  tall,  with  the  tidy,  con- 
trolled   grace    of    tin    athlete    beautiful    in 

rc|H>sc  and  plastic  in  action 

His  features  are  balanced  to  a  point  of  per- 
fection, and  their  contour  would  rejoice  the 
heart  of  a  sculptor.  The  brow  is  royal  and  the 
eyes,  pure  black,  can  Bash  like  a  whip,  sparkle 
like  cut  jet,  or  become  soft  and  dense  as  velvet, 
These   eyes   give    his    fact-  earnestness  and 

pathos,  yet  a!  the  >ame  timeare  full  of  laughter, 

wit,  and  knowledge  of  life. 

Mr.  Tearlc's  nose  has  the  broad  base  and 
chiseled  nostrils  of  the  intellectual  head,  and 
the  mouth  with  its  beautifully  cut,  mobile  lips 
has  a  play  upon  it  that  is  singularly  winning. 
Most  men's  mouths  are  just  features — his  i>  a 
decoration,  and  when  he  smiles  his  dark  face 
flashes  into  almost  dazzling  animation. 

There  is  imagination  in  his  face,  and  a  grave, 
warm  beauty  that  is  arresting,  picturesque  and 
thoroughly  charming: 

Conway  Tearlc  is  one  of  the  few  who  can 
wear  the  costumes  of  bygone  centuries  with  an 
air  of  absolute  ease,  and  w  hen  so  dressed  there 
is  about  him  every  imaginative  grace  and  every 
appealing  charm. 

To  my  mind,  Conway  Tearle's  handsome- 
ness, his  talent  and  his  innate  distinction  are 
beyond  discussion.

Three  Cheers! 

St.  Louis,  Mo. 

Let  us  cheer  Yilma  Hanky.  I  saw  her  in 
"The  Dark  Angel"  and  am  waiting  impatient- 
ly for  "The  Eagle."  She  is  so  feminine  and 
yet  not  overly  sweet.  I  hope  she  plays  with 
Ronald  Colman  some  more.  They  are  an  ideal 
couple. 

By  Jove.  I  don't  see  how  the  stars  of  Holly- 
wood can  resist  Miss  Banky.  I  admire  Norma 
Talmadge  for  befriending  the  beautiful  Yilma. 
She  surely  won't  lose  anything  by  it,  and  I  love 
Norma  more  now  for  her  kindness.  A  friend 
is  a  treasure  to  a  lonelv  stranger.

A  Brickbat  for  Her  Favorite! 

Hartsville,  S.  C. 

So  at  last  Mac  Murray  has  discovered  that 
it  takes  a  good  leading  man  and  a  director  as 
well  as  a  good  leading  lady  to  make  a  good 
picture!  Or  if  Miss  Murray  had  no  say  con- 
cerning her  leading  man,  then  this  is  for  the 
person  who  cast  "The  Merry  Widow."  1  have 
seen  Mae  Murray  pictures  in  which  she 
"  hogged  the  camera  "  continually,  but  not  once 
in  "  The  Merry  Widow"  was  she  guilty  of  this. 
That  picture  was  splendid  in  every  detail.  I 
wish  Von  Stroheim  would  direct  Mae  Murray 
and  John  Gilbert  in  another  picture.  The}'  are 
my  favorites — all  three  of  them!

Dix  as  Ivanhoe 

St.  Louis,  Mo. 
I  liked  the  suggestion  in  last  month's  Photo- 
play of  filming  "Ivanhoe."  If  it  is  done,  I 
hope  the  plot  will  not  be'ehanged.  It  is  per- 
fect and  any  attempt  to  improve  it  would  ruin 
a  good,  unusual  story.  The  book  furnishes  ex- 
cellent descriptions  of  the  characters. 
I  suggest  Richard  Dix  as  Ivanhoe.

A  Modern  Miracle  Film — rrBen  Hur" 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  32  ] 


diving  between  the  horses  and  throwing  him- 
self on  the  ground  between  the  chariot  wheels, 
coming  forth  like  Jonathan  without  a  scratch — 
and  just  as  miraculously. 

While  the  chariot  scene  may  appear  the 
more  hazardous  on  the  screen,  the  battle  of  the 
galleys  was  fraught  by  far  greater  danger.  The 
night  following  the  burning  of  the  galleys  in  the 
bay  of  Leghorn  in  Italy  was  a  night  of  terror; 
during  that  long  stretch  of  darkness  men 
labored  continuously  in  rescuing  drowning 
fellows  who  had  been  caught  by  the  timbers  of 
the  sinking  crafts. 

A  sudden  wind  coming  up  over  the  bay 
fanned  the  flames  more  rapidly  than  had  been 
calculated,  so  that  the  main  galley  sank  in  less 
than  thirty  minutes,  with  men  plunging  into 
the  water  until  the  bay  resembled  a  cauldron 
of  humanity. 

The  greatest  care  had  been  taken  to  engage 
only  extras  who  were  expert  swimmers,  but  so 
great  was  the  temptation  of  money  to  the  poor 
Italians  that  many  took  oaths  to  ability  they 


so  that  it  was  easily  set  to  flames  by  torches  at 
the  moment  of  impact.  The  pandemonium 
that  ensued  was  quite  as  realistic  to  the  men 
as  it  is  now  to  the  spectators  who  view  it  on  the 
screen.  Many  of  them  flung  themselves  on 
their  knees  and  implored  the  saints  for  aid, 
while  others  sprang  to  the  rescue.  One  extra 
saved  the  life  of  assistant  director  Al  Ral  och 
by  holding  a  shield  at  ove  his  head,  thus  deflect- 
ing a  flaming  timber  that  fell  from  the  mast. 

The  introduction  of  Bcn-IIiir  among  the 
mobs  surging  through  the  Joppa  Gate  at 
Jerusalem  is  memorable  for  the  color  and  gran- 
deur of  the  setting.  This  is  one  of  the  few- 
scenes  retained  from  those  actually  shot  in 
Israel.  The  old  gate  towers  to  the  height  of  a 
five-story  building,  while  under  it  pours  a  mass 
of  seven  thousand  people  with  donkeys, 
camels  and  horses  coming  to  pay  their  tithes  to 
the  Roman  conquerors. 

When  General  Wallace  permitted  the  sta<;e 
production  of  "Ben-Hur"  he  specified  that  the 
face  and  figure  of  Christ  should  not  appear. 


THE  cost  of  "Ben-Hur"  is  estimated  at  a  point  be- 
tween four  and  five  million  dollars. 

The  company  spent  a  year  and  a  half  in  the  actual 
filming  of  "Ben-Hur"  in  Italy  and  in  California. 

Nearly  2,000,000  feet  of  film  were  photographed.  From 
these  eleven  reels  were  brought  to  the  screen. 

Twenty  thousand  people  were  employed  on  the  pro- 
duction. 

The  Circus  Maximus  shown  required  four  months  to 
build  with  800  men  working  in  shifts.  It  is  1575  feet  long 
and  410  feet  wide. 

5,000  people  were  employed  in  the  galleries  as  spectators 
and  in  addition  10,000  movable  dolls  were  used  in  the 
upper  sections. 

4  months  was  spent  in  filming  the  race. 

48  horses  appear  in  the  race  of  the  12  chariots  with  150 
horses  utilized  in  all.  53  reels  were  photographed  to 
make  the  one  reel  of  the  chariot  race  now  shown.  42 
cameras  were  trained  on  the  scene. 

14  galleys  were  built  for  the  scenes  in  which  2,000  men 
participated. 


did  not  possess.  The  orders  were  to  remain  on 
the  decks  until  they  were  hot.  The  extras 
bravely  heeded  the  instructions  until  the  soles 
of  their  feet  were  burning,  then  plunged  into 
the  sea  to  cling  to  the  prow  as  it  slowly  sank. 

Two  thousand  men  participated  in  these 
scenes,  which  were  photographed  from  rafts 
and  from  a  platform  on  the  mole.  None  of  the 
fourteen  galleys  used  were  those  builded  at 
great  cost  for  the  first  attempt  at  the  produc- 
tion. Those  were  condemned  by  the  Italian 
government  as  unsafe.  Furthermore,  they 
screened  too  small  to  be  as  impressive  as  they 
had  to  be. 

The  second  fleet  was  modeled  after  the  de- 
sign of  the  Roman  crafts.  The  ramming  of  the 
great  Roman  boat  by  the  pirate  craft  was 
effected  by  having  a  high  powered  motor  boat, 
attached  "by  cable  beneath  the  Roman  galley, 
drag  the  pirate  at  speed  through  the  water 
until  it  shivered  into  the  side  of  the  larger 
vessel, 

The  Roman  galley  had  been  soaked  with  oil. 


lie  felt  no  actor  could  realize  the  part  to  the 
satisfaction  of  all.  and  in  this  the  producers  of 
the  pictures  have  concurred  with  him.  The 
figure  and  face  of  the  Savior  are  never  seen  on 
the  screen,  only  the  hand.  Even  on  the  road 
to  Calvary  you  sec  only  an  arm  supjiorting  the 
Gross — and  footprints  of  blood  on  the  stones. 
Scenes  of  "Hen-llur"  were  created  that  the 
world  will  never  see.  Done  in  all  reverence, 
there  were,  nevertheless,  several  magnificent 
scenes  from  the  life  of  Ghrist  that  had  to  be  cut. 
A  whole  sequence  about  Pontius  Pilate,  the 
Roman  governor  who  condemned  Jesus  lo 
death,  was  filmed.  Niblo  regards  it  as  one  of 
the  great  moments  of  the  picture.  It  had  to  be 
eliminated  for  fear  of  religious  controversy. 
The  same  was  true  of  the  scenes  on  Calvary. 
One  end  of  the  Cross  was  photographed,  show- 
ing only  a  hand  pierced  by  a  nail,  and  dripping 
blood.  The  hand  turned,  relaxed,  and  the 
blood  ceased  to  drip.  Then  darkness  came 
over  the  whole  scene,  for  He  was  dead. 
This,  too.  was  cut.

words  of  Ben-Hur:

Even  so  will  this  picture  live,  for  it  was

Tale  of  the  Christ. 


Can  Jack  Gilbert  Get 
Away  with  It? 

[  COM'IM  1  D  PROM  PAGE  06  ] 

less  an  authority  than  Elinor  Glyn  said  to  me, 
"  Poor  Jack  Gilbert.  I'm  afraid  that's  the  end 
of  him.  I'm  quite  sure  the  public  will  never 
put  up  with  seeing  the  hero  drunk  and  lying  in 
the  gutter.  Too  dreadful,  really.  He  should 
have  refused  to  do  it." 

Hut  as  Prince  Danilo  Jack  Gilbert  steals  the 
picture  and  is  besieged  by  women  fans  with 
letters  of  congratulation  upon  his  fine  work. 

In  "The  Big  Parade"  Jack  plays  an  Ameri- 
can doughboy,  and  a  real  one.  Men  who  were 
over  say  "The  Big  Parade"  and  Jack's  work  in 
particular  tore  open  all  the  things  they  were 
trying  to  forget.  It  is  almost  too  realistic. 
Raw.  brutal,  humorous,  violent,  ugly,  dra- 
matic, utterly  fascinating,  real,  heart-rending — 
all  these  things  his  work  is,  but  it  is  never 
heroic.  Jim  Appcrson  is  just  a  real  human 
being,  sometimes  a  little  stupid,  sometimes 
uncouth,  sometimes  afraid,  sometimes  glor- 
iously brave  and  big,  but  he  certainly  isn't  any 
tin  soldier  with  a  sword  and  plumes.  There 
was  never  a  time  when  Jack  didn't  sacrifice 
everything  and  anything  to  realism  and  fine 
acting. 

So  far,  Jack  has  done  everything  that  they 
said  he  couldn't.  He  has  flown  in  the  face  of  all 
old  conventions  of  what  would  and  wouldn't  go 
on  the  screen. 

Can  he  get  away  with  it?  Will  the  public 
back  him  up  in  shattering  this  hidebound 
tradition? 

Right  now  it  certainly  looks  like  it.

You  Are  So  Pretty- 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  29  ] 

Instead  of  going,  disillusioned,  to  Texas, 
Dorothy  looked  around  for  other  worlds  to 
1  onquer  and  her  eyes  rested  on  the  blazed  trail 
that  many  of  our  women  scenarists  have  helped 
to  forge.  Frances  Marion,  June  Matnis, 
.Marion  Fairfax,  Jane  Murfin,  Bess  Meredyth, 
Dorothy  Farnum.  Dorothy  Manners  decided 
one  day  to  be  among  them,  and  as  the  shortest 
cut  to  that  goal  she  commenced  writing  short 
yarns  on  films  and  film  folk.  She  still  hopes 
some  day  to  be  a  great  scenario  writer. 

Then  there  is  Kathleen  Kay  and  her  partner, 
Maude  Marsh,  who  have  just  signed  a  contract 
to  design  costumes  forMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer. 
Kathleen  is  a  Xcw  York  girl.  There  are  mo- 
tion picture  studios  in  Xew  York,  too.  So  that 
danged  movie  bee  came  a-buzzing  about  her 
bonnet  with  the  result  that  Miss  Kathleen 
Kay  .  .  .  it's  almost  Kathleen  Key,  isn't  it? 
.  .  .  besieged  the  studios  looking  for  a  chance 
to  act  before  the  camera. 

The  casting  directors  greeted  her  with  joy. 
"You  are  just  the  type  to  do  this  character 
role  of  the  old  woman  who  saw  the  murder," 
they  rhapsodized.  Or — "This  street  urchin 
with  tously  hair  is  a  great  part  for  you." 

"  But  I  want  to  do  lovely  romantic  roles  and 
be  wooed  by  a  gallant  knight,"  she  wailed. 

"Not  with  that  nose,  my  dear  young  lady," 
they  told  her.  "The  character  road  for  you. 
You  might  have  it  remodeled  by  a  plastic 
surgeon.  Wonders  have  been  done  with  his 
scalpel." 

But  Kathleen  refused  to  bob  her  nose  for 
art — and  she  and  film  acting  parted  forever. 

At  that  time  she  met  Maude  Marsh — one  01 
the  clever  sisters  of  the  equally  clever  Mae. 
Maude  was  interested  in  costume  creating,  as 
was  Kathleen,  so  they  formed  a  partnership 
and  opened  a  little  shop  in  New  York  where  the 
name  of  Kay-Marsh  was  soon  synonymous 
with  gowns  of  gorgeous  appeal.  Then  they 
came  to  Los  Angeles  and  opened  a  shop  where 
Patsy  Ruth  Miller,  Margaret  Livingston, 
Dorothy  Devore,  and  oh !  many  stars  came  to 
be  outfitted  with  the  Kay-Marsh  skill.  And 
now  comes  the  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  offer 
of  costume  supervision. 

Was  she  sorry  she  had  given  up  the  glory  of 
stardom  for  shears  and  thread?  No!  She  and 
her  partner  are  too  bus}'  to  pine  about  a  little 
thing  like  lost  film  fame. 

Patricia  Foulds  .  .  .  she  is  known  and 
loved  as  "Tat"  1-)'  every  extra  in  Hollywooc 
.  .  .  spends  her  time  telling  movie-struck 
youth  about  the  hardships  of  motion  picture 
life.  Many  is  the  youth,  in  her  capacity  as 
casting  directress  of  the  Metropolitan  Studios. 
that  she  has  advised  to  go  out  and  get  a  job 
.  .  .  "anything,"  she  cautions,  "except  mo- 
tion pictures.  Get  a  job  where  you  eat  regu- 
larly." 

AND  "Pat"  has  no  ulterior  motive  in  giving 
this  kindly  and  true  advice.  She  herself  was 
an  extra  girl  some  years  ago.  "Pafcameall  ihe 
way  from  a  remote  little  Canada  town  to  con- 
quer the  film  world.  During  her  extra  day? 
"Pat"  knew  hunger  .  .  .  and  knew  that 
sinking  feeling  of  having  nothing  but  a  very 
few  cents  between  herself  and  the  world.  And 
now  she's  happy  to  be  a  casting  director. 

According  to  "Pat's"  statistics  only  one 
person  out  of  every  thousand  who  attempts 
picture  fame  makes  a  comfortable  living  wage. 
And  that  does  not  mean  stardom.  She  also 
figures  that  in  getting  established — in  getting 
acquainted  with  the  studios — a  beginner  does 
not  make  expenses  the  first  year,  and  ten 
months  of  that  year  is  spent  in  looking  for  less 
than  two  months'  work.  Think  it  over,  you 
aspirants  of  slender  purse. 

"Pat"  is  a  deadly  foe  of  the  people  who 
rightly  remark:  "You  really  should  be  in  pic- 
tures, my  dear,  you  are  so  pretty."

from  Clinton.  Missouri.  But  she  didn't  im- 
mediately lay  outward  siege  to  the  title  she 
coveted  She  became  secretary  to  M.  C. 
1  evee  and  in  that  capacity  met  many  of  the 
celebrated  directors  who  worked  on  the  lot. 

Then  one  bright  and  sunny  day  Maurice 
I  oilman  offered  her  the  part  of  the  maid  in 
"The  Brass  Bottle."     It  was  her  film  start. 

et  Bennett  followed  it  by  giving  her  a 
small  role  in  '*  Divon  e."  She  took  up  dancing 
ami  J ancsd  in  \\  illi  im  t  DeMlllt'S  1  lu  Mar- 
riage Maker  "  You  will  understand  how  pretty 
she  is  when  1  tell  you  she  modeled  the  latest 
fashions  for  Peggy  Hamilton,  who  knows  more 
about  fashions  than  Mr.  Brummel's  valet 

A  SLUMP  came.    The  casting  offices  held 
forth  no  encouragement,  so  being  possessed 

of  brains  and  courage  Marie  look  up  her  pencil 
and  pad  and  became  a  script  girl. 

When  Henry  King  filmed  'Stella  Dallas" 
Marie  was  the  script  j:irl  on  the  picture  and  she 
found  time  from  her  many  offices  to  write  the 
words  to  the  song  which  will  be  known  as  the 
a  Dallas"  song  .  .  .  she  has  called  it 
"  Laurel  Bud." 

And  Marie  is  just  another  behind-the-scenes 
worker  who  is  blessed  with  beauty  and  brains 
but  instead  of  being  quite  overcome  by  their 
ownership  has  diverted  her  brain  into  pro- 
ductive channels. 

I  could  tell  you  of  so  many  girls  who  have 
come  to  Hollywood  with  high  hopes  of  film 
success.  Hopes  that  have  been  dashed  to  the 
ground  and  ground  into  dust  by  the  heavy 
heel  of  circumstance.  Now  they  are  film  cut- 
ters, laboratory  technicians,  research  workers, 
publicity  writers,  private  secretaries,  even 
waitresses   .    .    .   many,  many  plucky  girls. 

Do  they  grieve  and  pine  1  ecause  starry  suc- 
cess has  been  denied  them?  They  do  not!  I 
believe  that  all  thoughts  of  the  one-time  urge 
have  been  completely  sul  merged  by  the  new 
goals  they  have  established  for  themselves. 

And  now  they  merely  smile  with  infinite 
wisdom  and  knowledge  when  some  kindlv-in- 
tentioned  person  says: 

•  You  are  so  pretty,  my  dear,  why  don't  you 
go  into  pictures?" 


Traveling  for  Pleasure 

After  considerable  urging,  Herr  Schulze  of 
Berlin  took  his  wife  on  a  tour  of  Northern 
Europe. 

Arriving  in  due  course  at  Xordkap,  the 
promontory  of  Norway,  they  viewed  the  mid- 
night sun,  and  Herr  Schulze  idly  scratched 
on  a  rock: 

"Sat  here  with  wife.  Fine!  Schulze, 
Berlin." 

Three  weeks  later  a  neighboring  rock  read: 

"Sat  here  without.  Finer!  Meier, 
Hamburg." — Lustige  Blatter  (Berlin).

That  Royle  Girl 

Moline,  111. 
Why  not  more  about  Carol  Dempster?  She 
is  a  splendid  actress,  and  though  not  a  raving 
beaut}-,  she  is  very  pretty.  And  she  has  a 
beautiful  figure.  Her  acting  is  so  original  that 
even  if  the  picture  is  rotten  (as  was  "That 
Royle  Girl"),  you  can  be  entertained  by  watch- 
ing her. 

Bobby. 

What  More  Can  Be  Said? 

Manteca,  Calif. 

May  I  call  the  attention  of  Catherine  Kelly 
of  San  Francisco,  who  declares  that  Valentino 
is  "as  graceful  as  an  elephant"  to  what  Samuel 
Goldwyn  says  in  his  book,  "Behind  the 
Screen,"  chapter  16,  under  the  heading 
"Rodolph  Valentino." 

"When  in  Hollywood  about  four  years  ago  I 
learned  to  know  by  sight  a  young  man  who  fre- 
quently stood  around  in  the  lobby  of  the  Hotel 
Alexandria.  He  was  very  dark  and  slim,  and 
his  eyes  had  the  sombreness  of  the  Latin.  I 
was  especially  struck  by  the  grace  of  his  walk 
and  of  his  gestures.  Even  when  he  leaned  up 
against  a  cigar  case  he  did  it  with  a  certain 
stateliness,  and  jou  felt  that  the  column  of 
some  ruined  temple  overlooking  the  Mediter- 
ranean wouldhave  been  much  more  appropriate 
than  his  present  background." 

Further  on  in  the  same  chapter,  Rex  In- 
gram's impressions  of  Rudy  are  also  given: 

"I  was  attracted  at  once  by  Valentino's  face 
and  by  his  remarkable  grace  of  movement." 
said  Ingram,  "and  I  made  a  mental  note  of 
him.  There's  a  fellow,  thought  I,  who  would 
be  great  in  pictures,  and  if  I  get  my  old  job  of 
directing  back  I'm  going  to  use  him." 

Florence  King. 

Connie  More  Beautiful  than 
Norma 

Detroit.  Mich. 

Prithee,  how  can  anyone  compile  a  list  of  the 
most  beautiful  women  of  the  screen  and  ignore 
Constance  Talmadge?  There  was  a  burst  of 
protest  when  Norma  was  omitted,  but  not  a 
word  against  the  criminal  omission  of  Connie. 
Both  Norma  and  Constance  are  beautiful  and 
wonderful  but  Connie  far  eclipses  her  sister. 

And  as  an  actress  and  a  comedienne,  none 
can  come  up  to  Connie.  Someone  has  put 
Dorothy  Gish  ahead  of  her.  I  challenge  that 
person! 

Photoplay's  list  of  ten  handsomest  men 
could  not  be  improved  upon. 

Joe  Dennis. 

Fair-minded  Fan 

Creston,  Iowa. 
There  seems  to  be  quite  a  controversy  over 

IT.  J.  Watkins'  statement  about  the  "papas" 
in  November  Photoplay. 

When  I  first  read  his  letter  I  thought 
"Hurray  for  you,"  but  after  reading  the  com- 
ments of  1  ho  other  readers  on  this  subject,  I 
have  seen  both  sides. 

Just  as  someone  said  that  a  younger  man 
would  not  have  been  good  in  "The  Sea  Hawk." 
just  as  ridiculous  would  have  been  Milton  Sills 
in  "Wine  of  Youth"  or  "Playing  With  Souls." 

Actors  should  stick  to  parts  they  are  suited 
for.  It  is  natural  to  suppose  that  a  man  will 
have  had  his  romance  before  he  is  forty-five. 

Tlu-  best  way  is  to  have  a  variety  of  pictures 
to  suit  every  taste,  with  both  young  and  older 
actors  playing  pails  as  near  their  real  age  as 
possible.

P\K  VDIS1  l  ost'  Storj  by  John  Milton," 
dictated  .Mr  Bow  man  \\  it h  white  li|>->,  and 
then  lie  plunged  into  the  rolling  Iambics  oi 
Chapter  i.  For  an  age  he  swam  stubbornly 
against  the  current,  and  came  out  foi  .iir  and 
then  dived  in  for  another  age,  «  bile  Lonnie  --.it 
at  ease  with  pencil  anil  pad,  ami  noon  came 
nearer.  Finally  Mr.  Bowman  tottered  out,  a 
doddering  wreck,  to  lunch,  leaning  on  the 
shoulder  of  tin-  unperturbed  Lonnie,  and  bab 
bling  oi  fallen  angels  such  as  1  ucifer  ami  oil 
cans  such  as  Mr-  Ri<  hard  1  1 1 

"I  can't  even  work  out  a  main  title  for  the 
thing, "  he  lamented  to  Lonnie  over  the  chi<  ken 
salad.  ( Lonnie  ordered  chicken  salad  when 
she  wanted  it.  for  nobod)  had  ever  given  her  a 
Hook  of  Etiquette.)  "I  thought  I  could  get 
some  harem  stuff  out  of  the  Paradise  part,  but 
there  isn't  a  harem  in  the  whole  dizzy  thing. 
Let — me — see.  I  i;uess  'Flaming  Swords'  is 
the  best  1  can  do,  there  was  an  angel  that  had 
one.  Or  maybe  'The  Bells  of  Hell';  there 
aren't  any  bells  but  the  caption  has  a  kiek. — 
No  sex  in  either  one,  though.  Now  there  was  a 
woman    in    it,    her    name    was    Eve."     Hitter 

recollections  came  flooding  into  Mr.  Bowman's 

mind  on  this  realization  How  true  it  was; 
there's  a  woman  at  the  bottom  of  all  our  woes, 
from  Eve  to  the  unspeakable  Yolanda.  "I've 
got  the  title  now,"  said  Mr.  Bowman  grimly. 
"It's  'The  Fatal  Frail-." 

To  which  he  added  certain  reflections  anent 
the  sex  in  general,  and  the  talk,  or  rather  the 
monologue,  came  around  inevitably  to  the 
iniquities  of  Dickie  Lee.  "I  follow  your  advice 
and  try  to  be  good  to  the  little  viper,"  said 
Mr.  Bowman  plaintively,  "and  then  he  drops 
this  'Paradise  Lost'  off  the  roof  on  my  head. 
Sterner  measures  are  necessary;  I'm  going 
to  try  a  baseball  bat.  " 

"Oh,  but  you  mustn't  hurt  him,"  said  the 
literal-minded  Lonnie.  "You  aren't  patient 
enough,  honestly. " 

"I  shall  pluck  him  from  that  seductress  by 
the  nape  of  the  neck,  "  swore  Mr.  Bowman. 

"Then  he'll  squirm  loose  and  run  right  back 
again.  /  think,"  said  Lonnie  pensively.  "But 
people  who  get  such  terrible  crushes  almost 
always  get  over  'em  by  themselves  if  you  just 
let  them  alone.  Maybe  this  girl  knows  it, 
too."  She  opened  her  eyes  wider  and  favored 
Mr.  Bowman  with  her  blue  reflective  stare. 
"Maybe  she's  getting  a  little  tired  already, 
if  he's  so  devoted. " 

The  old  glimmer  of  respect  came  into  Mr. 
Bowman's  eyes  as  he  regarded  the  tranquil 
young  woman  opposite.  "Very  possibly  you 
are  right,"  he  admitted,  meditating.  "I've 
long  thought  the  pash  principle  was  overdone. 
— It's  B.C.  in  the  pictures,  too,  just  like  this 
heavy  hell  stuff,"  he  went  on  with  a  trace  of 
bitterness  in  his  tone  as  he  thought  of  Mr 
John  Milton.  "What  Frantic  Films  needs  is 
something  subtle  though  sexful,  sort  of  listless 
in  the  love  interest,  you  know — " 

"Why.  there's  a  caption,"  said  Lonnie 
lightly.    "  'Listless  Lovers';  I  think  it's  good." 

Mr.  Bowman  stood  up  and  bowed.  "  Lonnie. 
as  ever,  you  are  the  brains  of  the  office, "  he 
said.  "We  shall  pass  up  'Paradise  Lost'  for 
the  afternoon. "  He  stared  into  space  a 
moment,  spurring  the  bright  young  mind. 
"  'Listless  Lovers',  adapted  from  the  story 'Cold 
Pancakes'  by  Rurik  Blon,  the  midwestern  real- 
ist,"  he  murmured  absently.  "  I  have  the  book 
over  at  my  place;  I'll  go  get  it  before  I  come 
back  to  the  office. " 

But  Mr.  Bowman,  returning  to  the  apart- 
ment in  search  of  "Cold  Pancakes,"  was  sur- 
prised, by  coming  upon  Mr.  Richard  Lee  loung- 
ing in  the  living  room.  Xot  for  a?ons  had  the 
devoted  Mr.  Lee  been  seen  at  leisure  so  soon 
after  lunch;  the  lunch  hour  according  to  com-

mon  rumor  was  reserved  for  the  designing 
Yolanda.  This  dia  repancy  occurred  to  his 
friend  at  on<  e;  here  was  a  chance  for  a  little  of 
tin  insidious-encouragement  stuff. 

"I  thought  you  had  a  chalked  slate  for  the 
afternoons,"  said  the  subtle  -Mr.  Bowman. 

"Is  that  so?"  retorted  Mr.  Lee  in  a  discon- 
tented and  moody  manner.  The  observant 
Mr.  Bowman  regarded  him  more  closely. 
There  was  a  bleakness  in  his  expression  which 
mighl  almost  suggest  that  the  sugarfly  had 
been  giving  him  the  air.  Impossible,  of  course; 
but  the  rodent  himself  might  be  developing  dim 
doubts  on  his  own.  A  little  more  false  cheer 
might  not  come  amiss. 

"You  shouldn't  be  sticking  around  here, 
you  ought  to  be  starting  out  after  some  sweet, 
gentle  girlie  for  a  matinee,"  said  Mr.  Bowman 
heartily.  "All  work  and  no  play,  you  know, 
Dickie,  my  boy." 

Mr.  Lee  responded  with  a  certain  lack  of 
cordiality,  throwing  a  shoe.  Mr.  Bowman 
dodged  and  took  hope.  Judging  from  his 
present  demeanor,  there  might  be  a  chance  for 
the  rabbit  yet. 


AND  by  the  following  morning,  in  fact,  there 
were  indications  of  a  lifting  of  the  coffin  lid. 
Peeping  out,  the  spirit  of  Mr.  Lee  chirked  up 
and  gave  evidence  of  life,  and  the  eagle-eyed 
Mr.  Bowman  observed  that  from  time  to  time 
his  glance  rested  reflectively  on  the  temptress 
on  the  reading  table.  Mr.  Bowman  took  ad- 
vantage of  Mr.  Lee's  period  in  front  of  the 
shaving  mirror  and  pulled  the  cork  out  of  the 
bottle  of  gin,  and  shook  the  bottle,  spilling  a 
little.  A  faint  fragrance  diffused  itself  through 
the  apartment. 

Mr.  Lee  walked  springily  out  of  the  bath- 
room, with  expanding  nostrils,  like  an  antelope 
stag  sniffing  sweet  water  on  the  desert  wind. 
His  wandering  regard  settled  on  the  bottle  on 
the  table,  and  Mr.  Bowman  looked  on  expect- 
antly. The  line  of  the  liquid  still  stood  at  the 
neck  of  the  bottle.  Mr.  Lee  took  a  step  for- 
ward. Then  his  set  stare  wavered,  and  the 
Ancient  Evil  reasserted  itself,  and  the  sincere 
though  skidding  lover  turned  away  and  began 
fumbling  in  the  chest  of  drawers  for  the  morn- 
ing shirt.  Mr.  Bowman  replaced  the  cork, 
wearily. 

Nevertheless,  during  the  placid  days  that 
followed,  the  winding  path  of  Mr.  Lee  seemed 
to  be  leading  upward  a  little  into  the  free  air  of 
the  hills.  It  was  observed  that  he  appeared 
in  the  lordly  Frantic  Films  building  more  and 
more  often  after  the  noon  hour.  From  time  to 
time  the  wily  Mr.  Bowman  brought  up  argu- 
ments in  favor  of  marriage  as  an  institution, 
till  at  length  Mr.  Lee  might  have  been  seen 
regarding  him  with  lifted  and  pained  eyebrows. 

A  few  days  later  Air.  Bowman  informed  the 
demure  Lonnie  of  another  favorable  symptom. 
They  had  gone  out  to  lunch  together  to  cele- 
brate finishing  "The  Fatal  Frail,"  adapted  from 
"Paradise  Lost":  fade-out  on  the  big  Deluge 
scene,  Long  Island  Sound  with  the  Connecticut 
shore  in' the  distance;  title,  "Out  of  the  Welter- 
ing Waters  emerges  a  New  Earth  Made  Safe 
for  Democracy."  Mr.  Bowman  was  in  a  fettle- 
some  mood. 

"Dickie  Lee  has  dropped  the  scenario-hunch 
idea,"  he  said.  "He  got  rid  of  the  Duchess's 
Offspring  and  old  man  Plutarch  last  night. 
chucked  'em  at  some  cats  out  in  the  court. 
Thus  closes  with  a  bang  the  first  of  the  gates  of 
hell,"  announced  Mr.  Bowman,  who  had  not 
been  plowing  through  Milton  for  nothing. 

Lonnie  yawned  daintily,  patted  her  lips  with 
slim  white  lingers,  and  smiled  with  good  nature. 

A  morning  or  so  later  Mr.  Lee  tossed  still 
another  of  his  babes  to  the  wolves,  "I'm  not 
sure  I'd  care  about  moving  over  to  134th  Street 
after  all;  it's  a  long  way  out,"  lie  said  casually. 

Mr.  Bowman,  who  was  getting  ready  to 
shave,  brushed  lather  up  his  nose  and  snorted 
thoughtfully.  Oddly  enough,  of  late  he  had 
almost  reconciled  himself  to  the  notion  of  mov- 
ing. "I  hardly  know."  he  said  doubtfully, 
"the  rent  here  is  really  high.    A  young  man  in

the  pitiless  city  might  well  take  tome  thought 

for  the  future,  you  know." 

"Oh,  tomato  juice,"  said  Mr  I  ee  terselj 

Meanwhile  the  Bask  of  authenth  gin  re 
mainedon  the  reading  table,  biding  its  lime 
A  lurking  beasl  of  prey  it  was,  and  from  day 
to  day  the  airy  Mr  Lee  trod  in  narrower  and 
narrower  circles  about  the  lair.  But  in  spite 
of  having  beheld  the  course  of  this  coj  m> 
proach,  a  little  shiver  played  along  the  Bpine 
of  Mr.  Bowman  on  lii>  waking  up  one  morning 
and  finding  Mr  1  ee  with  his  head  fai  down  ilu- 
hot  sweet  throat  of  the  leopardess,  as  Mr 
Swinburne  has  it  rhe  line  of  the  liquid  stood 
halfway  down  the  flask. 

Mr.  Lee  looked  up  with  a  gleam  of  low  cun 
ning   in   his  eye-      "Dry   agents  destro 
demon  rum  over  in  Hoboken  today,"  he  ex- 
plained with  pitiful  bravado      "Got  to  uke 
camera  man  o\  er  and  get  some  shots,  \  ery  dis- 
tressin'  sight,"  he  concluded  \\ i-.vk  1% 

[|  would  seem  it  escaped  Mr  Bowman's 
memory  thathe  himself  had  lured  the  leopardess 
in.  a  long  time  ago.  He  shook  his  head,  soi 
rowfully.  "I  am  pained,"  he  said.  "That  a 
bright  young  companion  should  climb  the 
ladder  so  high,  only  to  skid  from  the  eminence 
— it  is  deplorable  in  the  extreme  " 

In  fact,  he  carried  the  pity  of  it  to  the  offi<  e 
with  him  and  brooded  over  it  After  awhilehe 
swung  around  in  his  chair,  and  his  wandering 
regard  came  to  rest  on  the  back  of  the  neck 
of  the  dainty  secretary,  powdered  and  shapely 
under  its  clustering  gold-brown  curls.  A  de- 
lightfully young  assistant,  the  dainty  secre- 
tary, sensible  though  probably  sexed.  Such  a 
pirl  as  she,  now,  in  the  place  of  the  artful 
Yolanda — 

But  as  a  matter  of  fact  he  did  not  know  any- 
thing, really,  al  out  that  Yolanda.  She  too 
miizht  have  been— might  have  been — some- 
thing on  that  order,  for  all  he  could  say.  Was 
it  possible  that  he,  the  upright  Tomlinson  Row- 
man,  had  been  working  a  hardship  on  some 
deserving  young  thing  through  the  stern 
measures  he  had  been  taking  for  the  salvation 
of  the  soul  of  Richard  Lee?  The  doubt  as- 
sailed him  like  a  flash,  and  vanished. 

VI 

OTHER  disturbing  concerns  were  awaiting 
the  vacillant  Mr.  Bowman  next  morning 
whei.  he  awoke.  Mr.  Lee  was  already  up,  and 
perched  on  the  reading  table  in  his  pajamas. 
"I  propose  to  give  that  unqualified  damsel  one 
more  chance  to  come  clean  with  me."  he  an- 
nounced in  a  cynical  though  husky  voice. 

Pressed  for  details.  Mr.  Lee  proclaimed  that 
he  had  posted  a  last  luncheon  invitation  to  the 
unknown  Yolanda  the  previous  evening,  and 
that  all  would  be  over  if  she  should  stand  him 
up  on  this;  the  nettle  might  nod  on  the  graves 
of  lovers  for  all  he  gave  a  damn.  He  followed 
up  this  assertion  with  a  burst  of  hoarse 
laughter.  The  trained  eye  of  Mr.  Bowman 
tra'veled  at  once  to  the  flask  on  the  table. 
The  line  of  the  liquid  stood  a  bare  quarter-inch 
from  the  bottom. 

But  it  was  the  cynical  and  hard  tone  of  Mr. 
Lee  that  most  distressed  the  gentle  Mr.  Bow- 
man. Drinking  intoxicating  liquor  was  bad 
enough,  heaven  knows;  but  to  speak  dis- 
respectfully of  women — 

The  thought  of  it  troubled  him  at  the  oflice 
all  morning.  He  sat  in  meditation  for  a  long 
time,  while  Lonnie  was  getting  out  the  mail; 
clever  child,  she  could  always  be  trusted  to 
keep  the  job  going.  She  knew  things,  too.  In 
the  course  of  hours  it  occurred  to  him  to  query' 
her  in  the  matter  of  this  latest  symptom  of  Mr. 
Lee's  decadence. 

She  regarded  him  with  her  blue  reflective 
stare.  "I  think  Dickie  will  live,"  she  re- 
assured him  casually,  and  yawned  daintily  and 
murmured  something  about  food.  So  they 
went  out  to  lunch  together  as  usual.  But  the 
thought  of  the  crisis  in  Mr.  Lee's  life  still  clut- 
tered up  the  consciousness  of  Mr.  Bowman. 

"The  poor  fellow  wrote  a  final  note  to 
Yolanda  last  night,  imploring  her  to  lunch  with 
him  todav,"  he  said.    "I  admit  his  coarse  and

deplorable  levin7  concerning  womankind,  still 
there  may  be  a  flash  of  feeling  left  in  the  profli- 
gate. If  she  should  throw  him  over  today, 
d'vou  think  he  might  take  it  to  heart  pain- 
fully?" 

But  Lonnie,  greedy  young  woman,  was  gaz- 
ing contentedly  at  her  chicken  salad.  After 
awhile  she  made  mention  of  back  work  piling 
up  in  the  small  batik  wastelasket  and  office 
memos  on  various  matters  requiring  Mr.  Bow- 
man's decision. 

Mr.  Bowman  found  this  talk  distasteful. 
Work  might  be  had  in  quantities  at  any  time, 
but  it  was  only  today  that  the  fate  of  Mr. 
Richard  Lee  was  to  be  decided.  Why,  even 
now,  while  he  himself  was  sitting  opposite  his 
dainty  secretary  and  toying  with  succulent 
viands,  the  unfortunate  Mr.  Lee  might  "be 
standing  around  on  street  corners  in  the  harsh 
outdoors,  awaiting  the  woman  who  would 
never  come.  The  fancy  troubled  Mr.  Bowman 
increasingly.  He  decided  he  ought  to  go  bark 
home  and  learn  if  Mr.  Lee  had  come  in  yet,  and 
in  what  mood.  "I  think  I'll  just  run  over  to 
my  apartment  an  hour  or  so,"  he  announced 
with  reserve. 

"Oh,  no,  you  mustn't."  said  the  practical 
Lonnie.  "There  are  hundreds  of  letters  for 
you  to  sign  and  they  assemble  the  mail  at 
three  o'clock,  you  krow." 

"A  matter  of  no  import."  said  Mr.  Bowman 
with  decision.  "  I  cannot  bring  myself  to  shake 
an  unfeeling  fountain  pen  at  this  hour.  I  am 
really  on  the  verge  of  illness,  my  dear  girl,  and 
my  requisition  for  an  office  hot  water  bag  has 
never  been  honored.  But  if  these  crass  letters 
must  be  scattered  to  the  swine  today,  bring 
them  over  to  my  apartment  and  I  will  affix  my 
signature  while  remaining  within  reach  of  my 
smelling  salts.  Bring  the  small  batik  waste- 
basket,  too,  if  there  are  other  sordid  matters 
which  press  for  my  decision.  I  trust  in  your 
kindness,  Lonnie,  to  rally  to  my  rescue  in  this 
emergency." 

"Why.  I  don't  mind,"  said  Lonnie  gently 
and  asked  his  address  and  wrote  it  down  on  a 
slip  of  paper  and  put  it  away  in  her  bag. 

Mr.  Bowman  returned  to  the  chaste  yet 
elegant  apartment,  and  there  he  came  upon 
Mr.  Lee.  But  it  was  not  a  blighted  Mr.  Lee 
that  he  came  upon.  To  the  contrary,  Mr.  Lee 
seemed  grossly  unblighted.  He  was  practically 
chortling  as  he  sat  scribbling  at  the  reading 
table,  and  from  time  to  time  he  rose  to  consult 
a  flask  which  stood  in  state  on  the  bathroom 
floor.  It  seemed  to  be  a  new  flask;  the  line 
of  the  liquid  stood  about  a  quarter-way  down 
from  the  top. 

Mr.  Bowman  advanced  and  looked  over  the 
shoulder  of  the  lost  lover.  The  lost  lover  was 
working  on  titles  for  the  recurrent  Frantic 
Fortnightly.  In  fact,  he  was  captioning  with 
hellish  glee  a  Frantic  Flash  of  the  latest  inmate 
of  the  little  gray  home  in  Sing  Sing,  a  whimsical 
fellow  who  had  made  away  with  seven  wives 
for  the  sake  of  their  insurance.  "So  comes  a 
1  >ay  of  Rest  for  the  Steadfast  Soul,  when  it  has 
Given  of  its  Lest  for  Better  and  Brighter 
Things,"  wrote  Mr.  Lee  with  flourishes. 

"But  didn't  Yolanda  meet  you  for  lunch  as 
you  wrote  her?''  asked  Mr.  Bowman. 

""YOLANDA?    l:o."  remarked  the  airy  Mr. 

*  Lee.  "It  seems  T  have  heard  the  name 
before.  Girl's  name,  isn't  it?  How  quaint.  But 
Yolanda  did  not  meet  me.  and  if  there  is  any 
such  person  she  has  stood  me  up  for  the  last 
time.  1  am  a  little  Peter  Pan."  Whereupon 
the  little  Peter  Pan  arose  brightly,  retired  to 
the  tlask  on  the  bathroom  Boor,  tested  a 
modicum  of  gin.  and  burst  into  an  improper 
army  song  about  a  certain  Mademoiselle  from 
Armentieres. 

"Oaf."  said  Mr.  Bowman  after  a  pained 
moment,  staring  at  the  little  Peter  Pan  with 
cold  intensity.  "For  once  in  my  life  I  lack 
words  to  express  my  opinion  of  your  attitude 
toward  womankind."  The  bell  rang  at  that 
moment,  and  Mr.  Bowman  touched  the  button 
absently,  and  the  dainty  Lonnie  came  strolling 
in  with  a  briefcase  under  her  arm.

in  a  startled  voice,  "1  never  imagined  you

Bl  l  to  Mr.  Richard  Lee  it  would  seem  it  was 
only  the  beginning      He  drew  a  deep  and 
oratorical  breath.    "  You  are  a  blonde  bubble," 
be  said  reproachfull)  to  Volanda.    "  You  are  a 
moral  iiu-ss,"  he  said  severely  to  Mr.  Bowman, 
are  l>a«l  people  and  you  have  double- 
ed  poor  Dickie  Lee  " 

l  tickle,  be  good,"  said  Yolanda  maternally 
ami  sweetly.  But  Dickie  did  not  seem  to  want 
[ood. 
"You  have  been  taking  my  girl  friend  out 
and  feeding  her  after  I  had  her  dated  up,"  he 
said  to  Mr.  Bowman.  "You  have  been 
slipping  the  fin  to  this  halibut  and  leaving  me 
out  in  the  air,"  he  said  to  Yolanda.  "This 
luncheonette  lechery  has  been  going  on  for 

weeks  and  weeks."  he  said  to  both  of  them. 
"But  I  hoar  no  ill-will,  naughty  sweetie  and 
Yulious  friend,"  he  went  on  with  icy  contempt. 
a  almos'  find  it  in  my  heart  to  pity  you. 
I've  nev'  said  word  about  your  treachery  till 
now.  Why?  Because  treachery  works  its  own 
reward.  The  vacuum  cleaner  is  nibbling  at 
your  toes,  foolish  Volanda.  The  tlat  in  Harlem 
is  gaping  to  receive  you,  Tom  Judas  Bowman. 
And  in  the  years  to  come  1  shall  pass  lightlyat 
ni^ht  in  my  freedom  and  daub  tar  on  your  fire- 
escape.  Now  I  am  going  away,"  said  Mr.  Lee, 
and  started  for  the  door. 

A  thought  struck  him  and  he  stopped  and 
turned.  With  icy  hauteur  he  passed  through 
the  living  room  and  stooped  and  rescued  the 
Flask  on  the  Bathroom  Floor.  Buttoning  this 
in  his  coat  he  retrod  the  "ling  like  a  buck  in 
Spring"  and  opened  tbeouterdoorandwenthis 
way. 

"The  dastard."  said  the  stunned  Mr.  Bow- 
man weakly,  and  looked  at  the  sedate  Volanda. 
What  blue  eyes  and  dainty  lips  she  had,  he 
thought,  and  amazement  arose  in  his  mind  at 
the  rudeness  and  blindness  of  the  perverse 
Dickie  Lee.  She  had  taken  an  armchair  and 
brought  her  typescript  out  of  the  briefcase, 
unperturbed  as  ever.  "Poor  Dickie,  I'm  sorry- 
he  felt  so  abused."  she  said,  looking  up  at  Mr. 
Bowman  with  her  serene  blue  stare.  "But 
he'll  get  over  it,  just  as  he  got  over  his  deep 
love,  you  know.  He  gets  over  everything, 
that's  what  makes  him  so  cunning.  But  you 
must  give  me  a  statement  on  this."  And  she 
handed  him  an  office  memo.  A  keen-eyed  on- 
looker might  have  fancied  the  ghost  of  a  smile 
about  her  lips,  but  her  eyes  were  oh,  so  blue, 
and  oh,  so  gentle. 

Mr.  Bowman  turned  his  dazed  eyes  on  the 
little  memo  in  his  hand.  It  was  a  query  from 
the  Chief  concerning  the  screen  rights  to  "Goat 
Alley,"  a  novel  by  a  certain  Blitz  Jenkins.  A 
remembrance  of  the  book  returned  slowly  to 
Mr.  Bowman.  He  placed  himself  on  an  arm 
of  Volanda's  chair  and  leaned  over  and  sighed 
with  deep  feeling,  looking  emotionally  down 
the  back  of  her  neck.  How  sweet  and  serene 
these  little  domestic  landscapes. 

"In  reference  to  the  novel  'Goat  Alley'." 
dictated  Mr.  Bow  man."  I  can  only  report 
that  this  cynical  study  in  so-called  realism 
is  too  scurrilous  for  the  right-minded 
picture-public  whose  edification  is  our  en- 
deavor. The  lampoon  deals  with  the 
dignity  of  holy  matrimony  in  a  manner 
approaching  disrespect.  Frantic  Films 
must  never  connive  at  casting  any  smirch 
on  the  Great  American  Institution  of 
Wedded  Bliss,  that  universal  radiance  that 
illumes  alike  the  Eskimo  in  his  Igloo  and 
the  little  birdie  on  her  nest."

"Why,  you  have  (hanged  your  mind  about 
tli.tt  book,"  murmured  the  pretty  lady. 

.Mr.  Bowman  leaned  lower  over  Volanda. 
Yolanda — ah,  lavender  name!  "Yolanda,"  he 
said  intensely,  "  I  was  wrong  in  speaking  harsh- 
ly of  Dickie  Lee.  Even  the  doodle-bug  should 
have  his  dream.  But  I  am  repenting.  I  am 
going  to  open  a  bank  account.  I  am  going  to 
leave  this  den  of  luxury  and  seek  some  simple 
dwelling  place  with  an  attic  window  where  I 
can  look  out  and  see  the  stars.  And  after  a 
long  time  I  can  come  before  you  and  say,  'I 
have  erred,  but  ah,  I  have  suffered,  I  have 
suffered  and  expiated,  and  I  am  here  at  last  to 
clasp  you  to  my  heart.'  " 

"But  must  you  really  go  looking  through 
attic  windows,  and  all  that?"  murmured  the 
girl  o'  dreams,  lifting  her  head  to  look  up  into 


the  eyes  of  the  strong,  silent  man.  Her  hair 
brushed  his  cheek  as  she  tilted  her  face,  ques- 
tioningly.  "That  will  take  a  lot  of  time,  won't 
it?" 

TXTO  the  eyes  of  Mr.  Bowman  came  the  old 
-'-expression of  respect.  "It  would,  wonder  girl, 
it  would,"  he  said  in  a  hushed  tone.  "This, 
then,  is  the  Only  Way."  And  he  swept  her 
into  his  arms.  Her  face  was  still  upturned,  and 
their  lips  met,  and  the  clock  ticked  on. 

Outside  around  the  corner  the  sun  shone 
down  on  amorous  Broadway,  the  street  of  lin- 
gerie and  laughter,  where  the  sidewalks  are 
gritty  with  sugar,  and  where  the  magic  of 
mating,  that  great  leavener  of  things-as-they- 
ought-to-be,  unfolds  its  radiant  wings  at  ove 
the  workaday  world. 


Why  Do  They  Change  the  Stories  on  the  Screen? 


COXTI>njED  FROM  PAGE  39 


Our  daily  life  is  sometimes  inexorable.  The 
screen  beckons  us  and  offers  us  amusement  and 
forgetfulness.  To  weep  a  little  is  pleasant 
relaxation,  but  few  of  us  like  to  carry  away  the 
burdens  of  a  heavy  heart. 

"Stella  Dallas,"  which  I  also  wrote  for  the 
screen,  has  what  is  technically  called  an  "un- 
happy ending."  It  is  the  story  of  a  gross, 
common  mother  who  gives  up  her  sensitive 
flower-like  child  (born  of  an  aristocratic  father) 
that  she  may  blossom  in  a  better  environment 
than  the  mother  can  ever  provide. 

Upon  close  analysis  it  isn't  an  unhappy  end- 
ing. There  is  glory  and  touching  beauty  in 
self-sacrifice.  A  mother,  though  we  may  feel 
sorry  for  her,  knows  divine  joy  if  she  can  serve 
the  child  of  her  heart. 

The  screen  story  of  "Stella  Dallas"  is  basic- 
ally like  the  book.  It  is  a  great  story  of 
mother-love.  The  scenes  as  they  unfold  upon 
the  screen  are  different  from  the  actual  narra- 
tive in  the  book,  but  the  feeling  is  exactly  the 
same. 

It  was  necessary  to  invent  pictural  le  situa- 
tions which  would  express  the  types,  their  rela- 
tions to  each  other,  and  the  motives  for  their 
acting  as  the  author  saw  them.  These  changes 
extend  through  the  first  half  of  the  picture.  In 
the  latter  half  of  the  picture  the  author  had 
written  scenes  which  with  slight  changes  could 
be  brought  to  the  screen. 

The  effect  of  the  whole  gives  the  impression 
of  a  careful  translation  of  the  book  into  screen 
language.  Students  of  screen  technique  might 
be  interested  in  comparing  them. 

If  we  successfully  interpret  books  or  plays, 
the  public  seems  scarcely  aware  of  the  minor 
changes. 

There  were  many  who  saw  "' Pollyanna.  " 
"Rebecca  of  Sunnybrook  Farm."  "Stella 
Maris,"  "The  Poor  Little  Rich  Girl"  (which 
were  among  the  twelve  scenarios  I  wrote  for 
Man-  Pickford)  who  think  they  remember  hav- 
ing read  in  the  looks  many  of  the  scenes  they 
saw  on  the  screen,  which  in  fact  were  never 
in  the  books  at  all.  I  never  contradict  them. 
It  is  a  compliment  to  our  work;  we  know  then 
that  we  have  interpreted  well  the  author's  idea. 

Fanny  Hursl  pays  a  great  tribute  to  the 
scenario-writers.  She  admits  that  she  has  seen 
several  pictures  which  photographed  the  narra- 
tive of  the  books  she  had  enjoyed  and  that  she 
was  frankly  bored  to  death  with  them.  She 
wanted  the  skeleton  of  those  stories  in  new 
garb  especially  designed  for  the  screen.  This  is 
because  she  lias  of  late  carefully  studied  mov- 
ing pictures. 

It  has  been  several  years  since  we  did  "Hu- 
niorcsque."  I  remember  how  disappointed  I 
was  when  she  reviewed  the  film.  She  was 
indignant  She  wanted  her  name  taken  off 
the  screen  and  mine  left  on.  It  was  in  such 
small  measure  her  short  story  as  she  had  written 
it.   She  couldn't  understand  why  that  little  girl 


had  been  added,  why  we  went  further  and 
brought  the  soldier  back  to  his  sorrowing 
mother.  She  had  sent  him  away  never  to 
return. 

Xow  Miss  Hurst  knows  why  we  make  these 
changes;  because  of  that  vast  audience  of  ours. 
an  American  audience  whose  inspiration  is 
founded  on  the  optimism  of  hope.  Isn't  it 
interesting  to  note  that  all  the  Photoplay 
Gold  Medal  pictures  have  happy  endings? 
All  save  "Abraham  Lincoln."  though  who  can 
deny  that  Abraham  Lincoln's  mart\Tdom  does 
not  hold  forth  an  eternal  and  all-inspiring 
hope? 

XTOvV  hearken  to  the  scenario-writer's  com- 
L^  plaint!  The  star  system  has  forced  us  to 
make  changes  in  stories  we  do  not  always  agree 
with.  But  often  we  are  under  contract  and 
the  voice  of  our  protest  is  a  wee  one. 

A  producer  buys  a  story  because  it  is  a  "big 
seller. "  Sometimes  it  is  a  splendid  story  for  a 
man.  The  woman  plays  an  important  role  in  it, 
but  a  passive  role. 

He  hands  it  over  to  us  poor  picked-on  scribes 
and  says:  "Make  this  into  a  great  vehicle  for 
Xorma  Talmadge.  or  Gloria  Swanson.  or  Mae 
Murray!"  When  the  smelling-salts  revive  us 
we  go  to  work. 

What  happens  to  the  author's  story?  !!!! 
****!!! —  We  tear  it  down,  we  reconstruct  it. 
we  make  the  woman  dominate,  and  the  male 
character  as  passive  as  even-  woman  would  like 
to  have  her  own  husband.  We  end  up  with  a 
splendid  vehicle  for  a  woman  star — and  the 
cyclone-wrecked  story. 

Take  "  Graustark!"  Many  have  criticized 
the  changes.  Perhaps  it  would  have  been  a 
better  picture  if  we  had  followed  the  1  ook.  but 
not  a  better  picture  for  Xorma.  It  was  a  man's 
story.     The  American  dominated  every  scene. 

Xorma  is  a  positive  character;  we  go  to  the 
theater  to  see  her  magnificent  interpretation  oi 
human  emotions.  She  is  a  great  actress,  so  we 
want  to  see  her  act;  not  be  a  passive  figure. 

The  director,  the  producing-organi/ation. 
ami  the  scenarist  were  not  considering  "Grau- 
stark" as  a  book,  but  were  concentrating  on 
Xorma  Talmadge.  Those  who  read  the  book 
were  disappointed  to  see  a  free  translation  of 
the  story  upon  the  screen,  but  those  who  had 
not  read  the  story  were  delighted  with  Xorma's 
tine  treatment  of  the  character  of  the  Princess 
who  dominated  every  scene  and  every  situa- 
tion. 

The  proof  we  have  of  this  is  the  theaters;  for 
records  of  attendance  have  been  smashed  wher- 
ever  this  picture  has  been  shown. 

As  I  am  writing  this,  the  small  boy  who  lives 
across  the  street  is  standing  on  the  curb  and 
crying  out.  when  he  is  safely  alone,  "Come  on 
out  everybody,  I  can  lick  you !  I  could  lick  the 
whole  world  if  I  wanted  to!"

A  I  I  II  th.  deli.  i.  i  md  rtali  ni  :.■  \\\  ::m- 
■*  *an  of  I'aiis'. md  lliei  harmof  Mr.  Lubitsch's 
work,  pictures  of  the  cruder  kind  tan  no  longer 
please.  The  kind  of  sex  pictures  which  were 
produced  in  the  past  now  appear  brutal, 
vulgar,  what  is  termed  raw,  yet  without  being 
true  to  life  itself.  n>  people  will  not  accepl 
them.    Instead  of  tending  to  make  audiences 

approve  Of  SUCh  pictures  and  enjoy  them,  the 
present  thought  of  the  world  is  exactly  against 
them.     It  is  true  that  we  have  been  going 

through  a  great  period  of  looseness,  an*!  per- 
haps of  license.  That,  of  course,  is  the  result  of 
the  war. 

"If  you  will  look  hack  into  history,  you  will 
see  that  it  has  always  I  ecu  so.  and  is  not  any- 
thing new  and  startling.  After  the  Cromwell 
era  of  stern  repression  and  Puritanism  in 
England,  the  pendulum  swung  to  the  very 
limit  in  the  other  direction  under  Charles  the 
First.  The  Victorian  era  followed  upon  an  age 
of  dissipation  and  now  the  pendulum  has 
swung  again.    It  is  always  so. 

"But  along  sex  lines  the  world  has  pro- 
gressed. Frankness  and  honesty  about  sex 
matters  of  all  kinds  is  the  result  of  our  present 
education.  Wisdom  is  used  in  more  homes 
now,  than  ever  before  in  the  history  of  the 
world,  and  the  great  facts  of  life  are  rightly  and 
beautifully  explained  and  understood,  instead 
of  being  barbarously  concealed  and  distorted. 

"Thus  since  the  people  of  today  understand 
more  of  the  truth  about  sex,  and  know  it  as  a 
great  fact  of  life,  they  are  all  the  more  unwill- 
ing to  accept  crude  and  untruthful  portrayals 
of  things  dealing  with  it  upon  the  screen.  So 
the  da}-  of  the  old  sex  picture  is  done.  Its  old 
hold  upon  curiosity  and  its  old  deception  of 
ignorant  ones,  cannot  go  on. 

"The  picture-going  audience  has  not  yet  en- 
tirely accustomed  itself  to  the  new  school  of 
realistic  presentation  of  sex,  inaugurated  by 
Mr.  Chaplin.  The  Lubitsch  school,  which  will 
present  a  new  era  of  sex  pictures,  of  subtle  and 
true  and  delicate  -Hits  from  life,  is  making 
headway  and  is  bound  to  become  popular.  Hut 
even  the  young  followers  of  this  school  have  not 
altogether  found  themselves. 

"So  you  see,"  concluded  Madame  Glyn, 
with  a  wise  smile.  "  the  answer  to  your  question 
and  the  explanation  of  the  absence  of  sex- 
pictures  among  the  first  twenty  is  that  sex  in 
a  picture  is  only  a  part  of  the  picture.  It  is 
only  the  subject. 

"First  of  all,  to  succeed,  a  picture  must  be  a 
good  picture."

HEN  the  last  squeeze 
oozes  from  the  particu- 
lar tube  you  are  using — 
will  you  ask  your  druggist  for 
your  first  tube  of  Ipana  Tooth 
Taste? 

Switch  to  it  completely  for 
one  month.  Use  it  faithfully. 
You'll  see  how  effective  it  is  for 
cleaning  your  teeth,  how  deli- 
cious it  is  to  your  raste,  how 
beneficial  to  your  gums. 

Our  modern  diet  of  soft,  lus- 
cious food  robs  our  gums  of  the 
stimulation  which  coarse,  fi- 
brous food  once  gave.  They  be- 


come tender  and  soft,  sometimes 
they  bleed — and  a  "pink  tooth 
brush"  warns  of  greater  troubles 
to  come. 

How  Ipana  and  massage  make 
weak  gums  healthy 

Speak  to  your  dentist  ar  the 
first  sign  of  trouble.  Very  prob- 
ably he  will  advise  gum  mas- 
sage—  to  restore  stimulation  to 
the  softened  gum  tissues.  Very 
probably,  too,  he  will  advise 
that  Ipana  be  used,  for  it  was 
by  professional  recommendation 
that  Ipana  lirst  became  known. 


Because  of  itsziratol 
content,  Ipana  will 
strengthen  your 
gums,  and  render 
them  more  resistant 
to  disease. 


Start  with  Ipana  —  now! 

So  get  a  full  size  tube  at  your  drug- 
gist's. And  twice-a-dav  take  one  extra 
minute  for  this  gentle  massage  with 
the  brush  after  the  usual  cleaning  with 
Ipana.  Your  gums  will  soon  grow 
firmer  and  your  teeth  more  brilliant.

~jOOCi  ♦  ♦  the  pleasure  of  our  palates 

-jrood .  ♦  the  trouble-maker  for  our  teeth 

and  gums! 


A  DELICIOUS  dinner  at  an  attractive  restau- 
C_^/jL  rant — a  dainty  luncheon  at  home.   How  en- 
joyable they  are,  how  much  a  part  of  our  lives! 
Yet  dentists   -point  to  our  ?nodern   soft  food  as 
utterly   unsuited  to  supply   the  stimulation   our 
gums  and  teeth  need  so  much. 


AS  uc  gather  round  .1  festive 
-**•  board  to  enjoy  .1  delicious 
dinner,  with  us  succulent  vi 
amis  and  us  creamy  sauces,  few 
of  us  give  .1  thought  to  any- 
thing but  taste— the  physical 
pleasure  of  eating  I 

Yet  these  same  dinners  thai 
"melt  in  the  mouth,"  arc  the 
cause  of  most  of  those  stubborn 
troubles  that  beset  our  gums 
and  our  teeth.  For  under  our 
modern  regime  of  soft  food  the 
gums  are  cheated  of  the  stimu- 
lation they  need  to  keepthem  in 
perfect  health.  Rough,  fibrous 
foods,  nature's  own  stimu- 
lant for  our  gums  and  teeth, 
are  practically  absent  from  our 
present-day  diet. 

How  massage  and  Ipana 

help  the  gums  to  health 

And  this  stimulation,  the 
dentists  tell  us,  must  be  re- 
stored, if  our  gums  are  to  be 
firm  and  healthy,  instead  of 
dormant  and  weak— the  prey 
to  many  kinds  of  troubles. 

So,  very  logically,  the  den- 
tists are  urging  gum  massage 
with  the  tooth  brush  to  supply 
this  stimulation  —  to  quicken 
the  flow  of  fresh  blood  through 
the  tiny  capillaries  that  nour- 
ish the  gums.  And  thousands 
of  dentists,  to  whom  our 
professional  men  have 
demonstrated  Ipana 
Tooth  Paste,  recom- 
mend that  the  massage 
be  done  with  Ipana. 

For  Ipana's  ziratol  con-

Many  dentists  are  advising 

the  use  of  Ipana 

Ask  your  own  dentist  about 
Ipana.  He  will  probably  vouch 
for  us  benefits.  In  fact  it  was 
In  professional recommendat ion 
that  Ipana  fust  became  known. 

So,  if  your  tooth  brush  ever 
"shows  pink,"  start  to  use 
Ipana  immediately.  Simply 
massage  the  gums  gently  with 
the  brush  after  the  usual  clean- 
ings with  Ipana. 

And  even  if  your  gums  never 
bother  you,  remember  that 
Ipana  will  enable  you  to  keep 
them  in  perfect  health! 

Switch  to  Ipana 
for  at  least  a  full  month! 

The  coupon  offers  a  ten-day 
tube.  Use  it  if  you  wish.  But 
when  the  health  of  the  gums 
and  teeth  is  concerned,  persist- 
ence is  of  first  importance. 

So,  next  time  you  are  at  your 

druggist's  get  a  full-sized  tube. 

While  you  are  using  Ipana,  you 

will  enjoy  a  new  sense  of  oral 

cleanliness,  and  your 

gums  will  be  started  on 

the   way    to    normal 

firmness  and  health. 

Even  though  your  gums 
bothtr you  seldom  or  never, 
start  your  use  of  Ipana 
today.  For  the  best  time 
to  fight  gum  troubles  is 
before  they  start.

Anyone  who  enjoys  great  motion  pictures  and  checks  up  where  they 
come  from,  keeps  a  sharp  eye  on  Paramount's  production  program. 

Seeing  great  entertainment  is  merely  a  question  of  knowing  what  is 
being  released  and  "when  will  it  reach  my  theatre?"  Here  are  six  current 
Paramount  Pictures  you  will  enjoy  to  the  last  fade-out: 


Behind  The  Front" 

with 
MARY   BRIAN 
WALLACE  BEERY  ♦  RAYMOND  HATTON 

An  Edward   Sutherland   Production 
from  a  story  by  Hugh  Wiley. 

Here  is  the  comic  side  of  Army  life 
in  wartime  picturized  in  a  way  that  is 
making  all  America  hold  its  sides. 

Somehow  these  two  scapegrace 
doughboys  win  the  audiences  more 
than  regular  heroes,  and  the  way  they 
make  love  and  war  is  the  last  word 
in  irresponsible  sincerity.

Harold  Lloyd  in 
"For  Heaven's  Sake" 

Directed  by  Sam  Taylor 

Here  is  the  prize  surprise  package  of  the 
season,  laughter,  laughter  all  the  way!  Go 
to  the  theatre  as  gloomy  as  a  mummy  and 
stay  that  way  if  you  can!  This  star's  pic- 
tures are  produced  by  the  Harold  Lloyd 
Corporation  and  released  by  Paramount. 


Zane  Grey's 

"The  Vanishing 

American" 

with  RICHARD  DIX,  Lois 

Wilson,     Noah     Beery     and 

Malcolm  McGregor.  Directed  by  George  B. 

Seitz.    Zanc  Grey's  epic  of  the  Indian  ranks 

with  The  Covered  Wagon  in  fateful  power 

and    excitement.     Don't    miss    the    mightv 

duel  of  Copperskin  and  White  Man! 


"The  Qrand  Duchess 
and  the  Waiter" 

A  Malcolm  St.  Clair 
Production 

with  Adolphe  Menjou  and  Florence  Vidor. 
From  the  play  by  Alfred  Savoir.  An  aris- 
tocratic love-comedy  set  in  the  midst  of  the 
brilliant  carnival  of  Paris  night  life.  Here's 
a  trip  to  Paris  that  gives  you  more  of  the 
gay  city  than  many  a  traveller  gets. 


"The  Song  and 
Dance  Man" 

A  Herbert  Brenon 
Production 


with  Tom  Moore,  Bessie  Love  and  Harrison 
Ford.  From  George  M.  Cohan's  famous 
comedy  success.  Real  romance  lives  and 
throbs  within  the  make-believe  of  stage  life, 
human  beings  loving  and  fighting  and 
hoping  behind  the  grease-paint. 


"DANCING  MOTHERS" 


A  Herbert  Brenon  Production.  Starring 
Conway  Tearle,  Alice  Joyce  and  Clara  Bow. 
This  is  the  Paramount  picturization  of 
the  famous  stage  play 
by  Edgar  Selwyn  and 
Edmund  Goulding 
which  set  all  New 
York  talking  about  the 
neglected  wife  who 


dances  her  way  to  freedom  and  love.  Merc 
material  prosperity  divorced  from  happy, 
human  comradeship  will  never  chain  any 
real  woman,  and 
"Dancing  Mothers" 
shows  you  why  in  a 
show  worthy  of  Para- 
mount's greatest  tra- 
ditions.

Brief  Reviews  of  Current  Pictures 


AMERICAN    VENUS,    THE— Paramount.— We 

think   this  is  great   entertainment.      Esther   Ralston 

nd   Lawrence  Cray  are  romantic  figures  against  a 

background  oi  ilie  Atlantic  City  Beauty  Pageant — in 

Color.      {March.) 

ANCIENT  HIGHWAY,  THE  —  Paramount.  — 
A  passable  story  of  the  timber  lands  with  Jack  Holt 
preventing  the  villain  from  jamming  the  heroine's 
shipment  of  logs.      (.January.) 

ARIZONA  SWEEPSTAKES,  THE— Universal.— 

\  snappy  Hoot  Gibson  western  with  some  novelty 
and  good  comedy  situations.      (February.) 

BEAUTIFUL  CITY,  THE— First  National.— The 
story  not  up  to  the  Barthelmess  standard.  Contains 
good  atmospheric  shots  of  New  York's  tenement 
district.      (January.) 

BELOW  THE  LINE— Warner  Brothers.— A  splen- 
did story  with  Rin-Tin-Tin  as  thrilling  as  ever. 
(December.) 

BEN  HUR— Metro-Gold  wyn—  The  undying  drama 
of  Christ  interwoven  with  the  story  of  Ben  Hur,  the 
young  Jew  who  aimed  to  serve  him.  Ramon  Novarro 
is  at  his  finest.  A  picture  everyone  should  see. 
{March.) 

BEST  BAD  MAN.  THE— Fox.— Unsuitable  for 
Tom  Mix.  A  flimsy  plot  but  Clara  Bow  makes  it  en- 
durable.    (February.) 

BEST  PEOPLE.  THE— Paramount.— An  enter- 
taining story  of  a  son  and  daughter  of  the  hoipolloi 
who  insist  upon  marrying  a  chorus  girl  and  chauffeur, 
believing  that  love  is  the  only  thing.      (January.) 

BIG  PARADE,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn  — See  this 
if  you  have  to  pawn  your  shirt.  One  of  the  finest 
pictures  ever  made.  A  thrilling  love  story  against  the 
World  War  background  with  John  Gilbert  and  Renee 
Adorce.      (January.) 

BLUE  BLAZES— Universal.— A  fair  Western  with 
Pete  Morrison  as  the  star.  The  usual  riding,  shoot- 
ing, conflict  and  love.      (March.) 

BLUEBEARD'S  SEVEN  WIVES— First  National. 
— Let  the  gas  go  out  and  use  the  quarter  to  see  this. 
You'd  never  believe  Ben  Lyon  could  be  so  funny, 
with  Lois  Wilson  in  the  role  of  a  flapjack  flipper  at 
Childs.     (Feb.) 

BOBBED  HAIR— Warner  Brothers.— Silly  but 
lots  of  fun.  Kenneth  Harlan  and  Marie  Prevost  are 
ably  assisted  by  Louise  Fazcnda.      (November.) 

BRAVEHEART— Producers     Dist.— Rod     La 

Rocquc's  first  starring  picture,  and  a  good  one.  The  ro- 
mantic tale  of  an  Indian  in  love  with  a  white  girl, 
played  by  Lillian  Rich.      (March.) 

BRIGHT  LIGHTS— M-G-M—  Charlie  Ray  as 
the  country  bumpkin  again,  and  Pauline  Starke  a 
smart  chorus  gel.     Good  entertainment.     (February.) 

BROADWAY   LADY.    THE— F.    B.    0.— Pretty 

good  story  with  Evelyn  Brent  as  a  chorus  girl  with  a 
heart  of  gold  who  marries  into  society  and  is  inno- 
cently involved  in  a  murder.      (March.) 

BUSTIN'  THROUGH— Universal.— Jack  Hoxie 
riding  and  fighting  to  save  his  ranch  from  a  grasping 
land  company.     A  good  Western.      (December.) 

CALGARY  STAMPEDE,  THE-  Universal— The 
best  Western  in  main-  a  day,  with  Hoot  Gibson.  Dif- 
ferent.    Some  remarkable  riding  stunts  that  will  thrill 

you.    (December.) 

CALL  OF  COURAGE,  THE   -Universal.  —  Art 

\."il  .is  a  lazy  cowboy,  jUSt  tor  a  change.  The 
picture  is  helped  by  the  dumb  efforts  of  a  dog  and  a 
horse.     (November.) 

CALIFORNIA  STRAIGHT  AHEAD  Universal. 
— Very  ordinary  burlesque  comedy  rescued  by  the 
engaging  ways  of  Reginald  Denny.    (November.) 

CIRCLE.    THE- 
BOCiety    drama.       It 

(December.) 


CIRCUS  CYCLONE,  THE— Universal.— A  pleas- 
ant mixture  of  Western  and  circus  stuff,  with  Art 
Acord  proving  he  can  ride.     (October.) 

CLASH  OF  THE  WOLVES,  THE— Warner 
Brothers. — Rin-Tin-Tin  makes  another  big  hit,  this 
time  in  a  beard.     A  good  story.      (January.) 

CLASSIFIED— First  National.— Don't  miss  this 
one.  Corinne  Griffith,  "the  screen's  most  beautiful," 
proves  she  can  act,  in  this  unusually  entertaining 
comedy-drama  of  a  New  York  working  girl.  (January.) 

CLOTHES  MAKE  THE  PIRATE— First  Nation- 
al.— Leon  Errol  of  the  collapsible  knees,  and  Dorothy 
Gish  as  his  shrewish  wife  make  this  a  fairly  amusing 
comedy-drama.     (February.) 

COAST  OF  FOLLY,  THE— Paramount.— Gloria 
Swanson  in  a  modern  role.  In  fact,  Gloria  in  two 
modern  roles — that  of  mother  and  daughter.  Her 
work  in  this  picture  will  be  much  discussed.     (Nov.) 

COBRA — Paramount. — Disappointing  to  Valen- 
tino fans.  Rudy  is  not  rightly  cast  in  this  and  Nita 
Naldi  is  entirely  unbelievable.     (February.) 

COMING  OF  AMOS,  THE— Producers  Dis- 
tributing.— Rod  La  Rocque,  as  a  big  diamond  man 
from  South  Africa,  and  Jetta  Goudal,  as  a  Russian 
princess  in  a  Cecil  B.  De  Mille  romance  of  the 
Riviera.     (November.) 


AS  a  special  service  to  its  readers, 
Photoplay  Magazine  inaugu- 
rated this  department  of  tab- 
loid reviews,  presenting  in  brief  form 
critical  comments  upon  all  photoplays 
of  the  preceding  six  months. 

Photoplay  readers  find  this  depart- 
ment of  tremendous  help — for  it  is  an 
authoritative  and  accurate  summary, 
told  in  a  few  words,  of  all  current  film 
dramas. 

Photoplay  has  always  been  first 
and  foremost  in  its  film  reviews. 
However,  the  fact  that  most  photo- 
plays do  not  reach  the  great  majority 
of  the  country's  screen  theaters  until 
months  later,  has  been  a  manifest 
drawback.  This  department  over- 
comes this — and  shows  you  accurately 
and  concisely  how  to  save  your  mo- 
tion picture  time  and  money. 

You  can  determine  at  a  glance 
whether  or  not  your  promised  eve- 
ning's entertainment  is  worth  while. 
The  month  at  the  end  of  each  tabloid 
indicates  the  issue  of  Photoplay  in 
which  the  original  review  appeared. 


Mctro-Goldwyn. — A    weak    tea 
s    neither    interesting    nor    real. 


COMPROMISE—  Warner  Brothers— A  good  cast. 
Irene  Rich,  Pauline  Garon  and  ('live  lirook,  in  an 
inadequate  story.     Fairly  entertaining.     (January.) 

COUNSEL  FOR  THE  DEFENSE— Asso.  Ex.— 
Good  acting  of  Hetty  Compson  as  a  modem  Portia 
make  this  a  passable  movie.      (March.) 

COUNT  OF  LUXEMBURG,  THE— Chadwick.— 
George  Walsh,  as  a  penniless  count  in  the  artists'  col- 
ony of  I'atis.  marries  a  beautiful  actress  without  see- 
ing her.    Fairly  entertaining.     (February.) 


COWBOY  MUSKETEER.  THE— F.  B.  O— Tom 

Tyler  looks  fine  and  rides  well  in  this  Western,  which 
is  presented  with  snap  and  clearness.     (February.) 

CYCLONIC  CAVALIER,  THE  — Rayart— Reed 
Howes,  the  star,  is  handsome — but  that's  about  all. 
A  melodrama  of  one  of  those  South  American  rev- 
olutions.     (November.) 

DARK  ANGEL,  THE— First  National.— A  love 
story  of  the  War.  beautifully  and  touchlngly  pro- 
duced by  George  Fitzmaurice  and  wonderfully  acted 
by  Yilma  Banky  and   Ronald   Colman.     (November.) 

DAUGHTER  OF  THE  SIOUX,  A— Davis  Dis- 
tributing.— Neva  Gerber  and  Ben  Wilson  in  an 
Indian  story  that  may  amuse  the  children.     (Nov.) 

DESERT'S  PRICE.  THE— Fox— Buck  Jones  is 
always  interesting,  although  this  film  play  has  not 
much  originality.     Plenty  of  good  fights.    (February-) 

DESPERATE  GAME.  THE— Universal.— A  mild- 
ly amusing  Western  of  a  college  cowboy.     (Feb.) 

DURAND  OF  THE  BAD  LANDS— Fox— Plenty

EAGLE,  THE— United  Artists.— Rudolph  Val- 
entino in  three  fascinating  roles,  a  Russian  lieutenant 
a  bandit  and  a  French  tutor.  Pretty  good  Valentino 
fare.     Vilma   Banky  is  lovely.     (January.) 

EAST  LYNNE— Fox.— This  decayed  old  melo- 
drama is  almost  interesting  with  such  a  fine  cast  and 
beautiful  backgrounds.  Alma  Rubens.  Edmund 
Lowe  and  Lou  Tellegen  play  the  principals.    (March.) 

ENCHANTED  HILL.  THE— Paramount.— The 
shop-worn  Western  plot,  brightened  up  by  the  pres- 
ence of  Florence  Yidor  and  Jack  Holt,  and  capable 
direction.      (March.) 

EVERLASTING  WHISPER.  THE— Fox.— Tom 

Mix  fans  will  like  this.   Others  won't.   Old  stuff.  (Dec.

FIGHTING  HEART,  THE  —  Fox.  —  George

FINE  CLOTHES— First  National.— A  subtle  story 
ably  acted  by  Percy  Marmont.  Lewis  Stone.  Alma 
Rubens  and  Raymond  Griffith.     (Oclober.) 

FIRST  YEAR.  THE— Fox.— A  highly  amusing 
comedy  of  the  vicissitudes  of  married  life  during  the 
first  twelve  months.  Many  of  the  incidents  will 
strike  home.  Matt  Moore  is  funny  and  pathetic. 
(March.) 

FLOWER  OF  THE  NIGHT— Paramount.— Jo 
Hergesheimer's  special  story  for  Pola  proves  a  dud. 
Negri  fans  will  like  parts  of  it.     (December.) 

FLYIN"  THROUGH— Davis  Dist.  Co.— Al  Wil-

entertainment.     You'll  like  it.     (December.) 

FREE  TO  LOVE— Schulberg.— Clara  Bow  as  a 
reformed  crook  does  her  best  with  an  impossible  role. 
(March.) 

GILDED  BUTTERFLY.  THE— Fox— Alma  Ru-

wick crying  through  reel  after  reel.      (February.) 

GOLDEN     PRINCESS.     THE— Paramount.— A 
charming  story  of  California  in  the  days  of  the  gold

Winchester,  Mass. 

"What  more  delicate  appeal  to  the  finer  sensi- 
bilities and  to  the  higher  underlying  emotions 
could  be  made  by  any  other  motion  picture 
than  "Stella  Dallas"?  Its  tender  pathos,  its 
poignant  sadness,  elevate  one's  mind  far  above 
the  sordid  and  the  commonplace. 

The  acting  portrayed  in  it  is-marvelous.  as  is 
the  stimulating  effect  it  produces  in  arousing 
the  best  in  human  nature.  It  is  no  sign  of 
weakness  to  feel  the  eyes  grow  moist  and  a 
lump  arise  in  the  throat  on  beholding  it. 
Rather  it  indicates  that  the  higher  feelings  are 
not  dormant  within  you.  It  happened  to  mc 
as  much  the  second  time  I  saw  it  as  it  did  the 
first  time. 

The  cast  shows  the  evidence  of  careful  fore- 
thought. Belle  Bennett  has  certainly  por- 
trayed the  part  of  Slclla  with  amazing  genius. 
The  charming  and  radiant  personality  of  Lois 
Moran  has  won  the  hearts  of  all  who  have 
beheld  her. 

It  is  a  production  with  more  power  than  any 
I  have  yet  had  the  opportunity  of  beholding, 
and  it  is  my  earnest  hope  that  I  may  see  it  at 
least  once  again.

Tallulah,  La. 

Just  ten  years  ago  I  sat  enthralled  before  the 
wonder  picture,  "The  Birth  of  a  Nation."  Last 
night  I  saw  it  again.  Let  all  those  who  contend 
that  the  movies  are  still  in  their  infancy  see 
this  picture. 

The  wonder  picture  is  mediocre  enough  now. 
The  photography  seems  amateurish  seen  in  the 
light  of  marvelous  effects  produced  now.  The 
unnatural,  jerky,  rapid  action  is  strangely 
reminiscent  of  the  Keystone  Kop  era. 

But  the  players!  A  tightness  came  into  my 
throat  to  see  them  as  they  were  a  decade  ago, 
and  to  reali/.e  what  they  arc  today. 

The  poorest  work  in  the  picture  was  that  of 
Lillian  C.ish,  and  she  is  the  only  one  of  them  at 
the  top  of  tin-  wave  at  present. 

Henry  Walthall  was  in  his  prime,  handsome 
and  fascinating,  but  how  lined  and  weary  eyed 
he  is  today! 

There  was  a  young  and  heart-tearing  Mac 
.Marsh,  seemingly  of  infinite  promise,  which  she 
has  failed  signally  to  fulfill. 

There  was  a  sweet-faced  brunette  in  the  role 
of  Nellie  Cameron,  whose  name  and  features  I 
could  not  retail. 

And,  heartbreakingly,  there  was  Wallace 
Reid  in  all  the  amazing  beauty  of  his  splendid

Norfolk,  Va, 
I  am  much  distressed  over  the  sudden 
"vogue"  of  John  Gilbert.  Do  let  us  all  take 
care.  Wc  are  speaking  of  him  as  "the  man  of 
the  hour."  What  a  threat  that  carries — for  an 
hour  is  soon  gone. 

We  should  see  John  Gilbert  not  as  a  dazzling 
personality,  but  as  an  actor  of  true  worth. 
Here  is  an  artist  of  rare  versatility,  fine  sensi- 
tiveness and  splendid  intelligence.  In  "The 
Big  Parade,"  how  he  makes  us  see  the  glory, 
the  madness,  the  cruelty,  and  the  heartbreak 
of  war  through  the  eyes  of  one  eager  boy! 

The  danger  of  John  Gilbert's  present  dizzy 
cminence  lies  not  with  him,  but  with  us.  lie  is 
honestly  and  unaffectedly  giving  us  his  best. 
Heaven  grant  we  may  not  make  him  an  "idol." 
only  to  cast  him  down!  Let  us.  instc.nl.  sign 
him  on  a  "long  term  contract"  in  our  hearts.

Praise  for  Gloria 

Rome,  Ga. 
There  has  been  much  unfavorable  criticism 
lately    concerning    the    many    different    roles 


affected  by  Gloria  Swanson.    I.  for  one.  con- 
sider her  one  of  our  most  versatile  actresses. 

A  great  deal  of  her  charm  and  appeal  lies  in 
the  fact  that  in  each  of  her  pictures  she  is 
different.  Usually  we  can  tell  what  kind  of 
picture  we  are  going  to  see  from  the  names 
appearing  in  the  cast;  but  a  Swanson  picture 
always  offers  originality  and  individuality. 

I  hope  Gloria  will  never  fail  her  public,  and 
that  in  spite  of  a  French  title,  she  may  realize 
what  it  means  to  be  held  in  so  great  esteem  by 
American  citizens.

Cleaning  Up  the  Love  Scenes 

Hutchinson.  Kan. 

To  persons  looking  for  good,  clean  entertain- 
ment and  fine  acting.  I  would  recommend  the 
screen's  perfect  lover— Ronald  Colman.  To 
those  wanting  suggestive  love  scenes  full  of  sex 
attraction.  Mr.  Colman  will  be  disappointing. 

I  notice  Mrs.  Glyn  does  not  mention  Ronald 
as  having  IT — and  I  am  glad  she  doesn't.  That 
is  just  why  he  is  such  a  wonderful  actor.  He 
has  something  deeper  than  IT.  A  quality  that 
cannot  be  described  in  mere  language.  Here's 
to  this  handsome  young  Englishman  who  is 
doing  his  bit  to  clean  up  the  love  scenes  in  the 
movies. 

I  am  an  ardent  fan.  and  love  each  and  even- 
one  of  the  movie  folks,  from  D.  W.  Griffith  to 
Farina,  for  they  are  all  doing  a  wonderful  work. 

Also,  let  me  add  a  few  posies  for  those  clever 
cartoonists  who  make  us  laugh  with  "Felix" 
and  "Aesop's  Fables."

Fresno,  Calif. 

Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns  proved  all  right  that 
Norma  Talmadge  is  our  one  and  only  great 
actress — now.  Hut  Mrs.  St.  Johns  also  says 
that  Hebe  Daniels  has  possibilities  of  becoming 
a  great  screen  actress.  There!  She  has  made 
one  of  the  truest  statements  ever. 

All  these  years  Hebe  Daniels  has  been  wasted 
by  Paramount  in  trite  stories,  but  she  is  ripe 
now  for  becoming  the  screen's  greatest  actress. 
Is  Paramount  going  to  let  this  opportunity 
slide  by?  Is  Hebe  Daniels  just  to  be  another 
actress,  or  is  she  going  to  be  a  great  actress — a 
name  to  be  conjured  with? 

Paramount  will  soon  do.  I  hear.  Arlen's  "The 
Green  Hat  "  There  is  the  opportunity  to 
make  Hebe  Daniels  a  great  actress.  Let  her  do 
Iris  March.  Already  I  am  beginning  to  pick 
episodes  that  stood  out  in  the  book,  picturing

GOLDEN  STRAIN,  THE— Fox.— A  worthwhile 
photoplay  of  Peter  B.  Kyne's  story  of  the  boy  with 
the  yellow  streak.     (February.) 

GOLD  HUNTERS,  THE— Davis  Dist.— A  fairly 
interesting  Curwood  melodrama  about  a  trapper  who 
finds  the  map  of  a  lost  mine.     (January.) 

GO  WEST — Metro-Goldwyn. — Hardly  a  comedy 
because  hardly  a  laugh.  Yet  the  picture  is  very  inter- 
esting. "  Brown  Eyes,"  the  cow,  gives  a  fine  perform- 
ance.    (January.) 

GRAUSTARK  —  First  National.  —  Norma  Tal- 
madge  and  Eugene  O'Brien  in  a  new  version  of  the  old 
story.    (November.) 

GREEN  ARCHER,  THE— Pathe.— A  stirring 
chapter  play  with  more  thrills  than  Sherlock  Holmes. 
Worth  following.     (March.) 

HALF  WAY  GIRL,  THE— First  National.— 
Doris  Kenyon  in  a  story  of  the  sordid  side  of  the 
Orient.    (October.) 

HANDS  UP — Paramount. — Raymond  Griffith  as  a 
Confederate  spy  in  the  civil  war.  Right  funny. 
Marion  Nixon  and  Virginia  Lee  Corbin  make  ador- 
able heroines.      (March.) 

HAUNTED  RANGE,  THE— Davis  Distributing. 
— Ken  Maynard,  a  newcomer,  joins  the  "heavy  ridin' 
brigade."    Just  another  Western.     (November.) 

HAVOC — Fox. — Showing  the  disastrous  effects  of 
the  war  on  London  society.  A  dismal  drama  is  re- 
lieved by  George  O'Brien.     (November.) 

HELL'S  HIGHROAD— Producers  Distributing  — 
Cecil  B.  De  Mille  again  gives  the  low-down  on  the 
lives  of  the  rich.    Leatrice  Joy  is  starred.    (November.) 

HER  SISTER  FROM  PARIS— First  National.— 
Constance  Talmadge,  Ronald  Colman  and  George 
Arthur  make  this  one  of  the  funniest  comedies  of  the 
year.     But  not  for  the  children;  oh  dear,  no!    (Nov.) 

HIDDEN  LOOT— Universal.— A  straightforward 
story  with  Jack  Hoxie  as  a  deputy  after  a  gang  of 
crooks.    Fine  for  the  children.      (January.) 

HIS  SECRETARY— M-G-M  —  The  story-  of  the 
ugly  duckling  better  done  than  ever  before.  Norma 
Shearer  unbelievably  homely  for  a  few  feet,  then  her 
own  ravishing  self.      (February.) 

HIS  MAJESTY  BUNKER  BEAN  —  Warner 
Brothers.— A  good  plot  is  ruined  to  make  a  slapstick 
holiday.    Matt  Moore  massacres  the  title  role.    (Nov.) 

HOGAN'S  ALLEY— Warners. — We  hate  to  say 

it — but  don't  go.  A  hash  of  every  Bowery  story  ever 
made  with  Patsy  Ruth  Miller  mimicking  Annie 
Rooney  all  the  way  through.      (February.) 

HOME  MAKER,  THE — Universal.— A  domestic 
drama  with  an  unusually  intelligent  plot  and  fine  act- 
ing by  Alice  Joyce  and  Clive  Brook.     (October.) 

INFATUATION— First  National. — Dull  and  un- 
interesting. But  Corinne  Griffith  fans  will  go  anyhow 
because  it's  worth  anybody's  quarter  just  to  look  at 
her.     (March.) 

IRISH  LUCK— Paramount.— Tom  Meighan  in  a 

good  old  Irish  yarn  with  some  gorgeous  shots  of  the 
Emerald  Isle  itself — and  Lois  Wilson.     (February.) 

ISLE  OF  HOPE,  THE— F.  B.  O—  In  which 
Richard  Talmadge  does  his  daily  dozen.     (November.) 

JOANNA — First  National. — Well,  Dorothy  Mack- 
ail]  is  always  good,  but  she  almost  gets  snowed  under 
this  impossible  story.    (February.) 

JUST  SUPPOSE— First  National. — Richard  Bar- 
thelmess  is  a  prince  of  Europe  who  falls  in  love  with 
an  American  girl,  played  by  Lois  Moran.  Very  mild 
entertainment.      (March.') 

KEEPER  OF  THE  BEES,  THE— F.  B.  O.— Not 
worthy  of  Gene  Stratton  Porter.  Little  Gene  Strat- 
ton,  the  girl-boy,  is    very  interesting.     (December.) 

KENTUCKY  PRIDE— Fox.— The  biography  of  a 
race  horse,  interwoven  with  a  human  story.   (October.) 

KING  ON  MAIN  STREET,  THE— Paramount.— 
A  dandy  picture,  with  the  suave  Adolphe  Menjou  as  a 
European  king  on  a  holiday  in  New  York.  And 
Bessie  Love  doing  the  Charleston.      (January.) 

KISS    FOR    CINDRELLA,     A— Paramount.— 

Barrie.  Betty  and  Brenon.  the  incomparable  trio.      A 

beautiful  fantasy  of  the  little  slavey's  dream  of 
marrying  a  prince,     {February.) 

KNOCKOUT,  THE— First  National.— If  you  like 
Milton  Sills,  maybe  you'll  be  able  to  believe  that  he 
looks  like  a  lie.ht  heavyweight  champion.    (November.) 

LADY  WINDERMERE'S  FAN— Warner  Bros.— 

A  very  smart  film  version  of  Oscar  Wilde's  sophisti- 
cated play.     (February.) 


LAST  EDITION,  THE— F.  B.  O—  An  exciting 
story'  of  the  inside  workings  of  a  great  metropolitan 
daily,  with  Ralph  Lewis  as  foreman  of  the  press 
room.     Good.     (December.) 

LAWFUL  CHEATER.  THE— Schulberg.— Clara 
Bow,  masquerading  as  a  boy,  makes  her  personality 
count  in  spite  of  a  far-fetched  story'.     (February.) 

LAW  OR  LOYALTY— Davis  Dist.  Co.— Again 
our  friends,  the  Mounted  Police,  struggling  between 
love  and  duty.     Fairly  interesting.     (December.) 

LAZYBONES — Fox. — A  real  characterization  of 
a  small  town  fella  given  by  Buck  Jones  in  a  well  told 
story.    Fine  supporting  cast.      (January.) 

LET'S  GO  GALLAGHER— F.  B.  O—  Introduc- 
ing a  new  Western  star.  Tom  Tyler.  The  boys  will 
like  him.    Good  fights,  stunts  and  rescues.     (Dee.) 

LIGHTNIN'— Fox.— Much  of  the  rare  humor  of 
the  stage  play  is  strangely  missing  from  the  screen 
version.     Rather  routine  entertainment.     (October.) 

LIGHTS  OF  OLD  BROADWAY— Metro-Gold- 
wyn.— Interesting  for  its  historical  sidelights  on  early 
New  York.     Marion  Davies  does  a  dual  role.     (Jan.) 

LITTLE  ANNIE  ROONEY— United  Artists.— In 
which  Mary'  Pickford  returns  again  as  Queen  of  the 
Kingdom  of  Childhood.  A  thoroughly  delightful 
picture.     (October.) 

LIVE  WIRE.  THE— First  National— Johnny 
Hines  in  the  title  role.  Lots  of  "gags"  and  rough- 
neck comedy.     (November.) 

LORD  JIM — Paramount — A  fair  translation  of 
the  well  known  book  with  Percy  Marmont  giving  a 
good  performance.  If  you  don't  know  the  book,  the 
picture  is  a  pretty  good  melodrama.     (January.) 

LORRAINE  OF  THE  LIONS— Universal.— The 

story  of  a  little  girl  cast  away  on  a  desert  island.  Patsy 
Ruth  Miller,  as  the  girl,  is  rescued  by  Norman  Kerry 
assisted  by  the  long  arm  of  coincidence.      (October.) 

LOVE  HOUR,  THE— Vitagraph.— The  heroine 
goes  to  Coney  Island  and  wins  a  millionaire.  It's  one 
of  the  silliest  pictures  of  the  year.    (November.) 

LOVERS  IN  QUARANTINE— Paramount.— The 
younger  set  will  think,this  hot  stuff.  Their  elders  may 
be  amused.  Bebe  Daniels  and  Harrison  Ford,  good. 
(December.) 

LUCKY  HORSESHOE,  THE— Fox.— Wherein 
Tom  Mix  falls  asleep  and  dreams  that  he's  Don  Juan. 
Just  another  Mix  success  with  Tony  and,  as  an  added 
attraction,  Ann  Pennington.     (October.) 

MADE  FOR  LOVE— P.  D.  C— Arabs,  a  wicked 
prince,  an  indifferent  fiance,  and  some  mummy  ex- 
cavating make  this  interesting.     (February.) 

MAN  FROM  RED  GULCH,  THE— P.  D.  C— 

Harry  Carey  makes  a  pretty  good  Bret  Harte  hero. 
playing  the  good  Samaritan  in  the  desert.   (February.) 

MANNEQUIN —  Paramount. —  Somewhat  disap- 
pointing as  a  Fannie  Hurst  prize  story  directed  by 
James  Cruze.      (February.) 

MAN  ON  THE  BOX,  THE— Warner  Brothers- 
Spend  a  good  evening  with  Syd  Chaplin.    (December.) 

MAN  WHO  FOUND  HIMSELF.  THE  — Para- 
mount—  Thomas  Meighan  goes  to  Sing  Sing  for  a 
crime  he  didn't  commit.  It's  Meighan  at  his  most 
noble.     (November.) 

MASKED  BRIDE.  THE— M-G-M.— Mae  Mur- 
ray as  an  Apache  dancer  and  the  toast  of  the  Paris 
cafes.  Mae  can  dance,  nobody  will  deny  that;  but 
rather  disappointing  after  "The  M«rry  Widow."  (Feb.) 

MERRY  WIDOW.  THE— Metro-Goldwyn— A 
brilliant  and  gorgeous  screen  version  of  the  romantic 
light  opera  with  Mae  Murray,  John  Gilbert  and  Roy 
D'Arcy  contributing  three  of  the  finest  performances 
of  the  year.     (October.) 

MIDNIGHT  LIMITED,  THE— Rayart.— Gaston 

Glass  and  Wanda  Hawley  make  a  good  team  in  this 
railroad  melodrama.   Above  the  average.    (February.) 

MIDNIGHT  SUN.  THE— Universal.— The  story 
of  an  American  ballerina  in  Russia,  grand  dukes  and 
moneyed  power  behind  the  throne.     (February.) 

MIDSHIPMAN.  THE  —  Metro  -  Goldwyn  —  A 
rather  juvenile  story,  but  it  brings  back  Ramon 
Novarro,  and  that's  enough  for  most  fans.  (December.) 

MIKE — Metro-Goldwyn. — A  Marshall  Neilan  bag 
o'  tricks.  Fairly  amusing  through  the  efforts  of 
Charlie  Murray  and  Ford  Sterling.     (.March.) 

MY  LADY'S  LIPS— B.  P.  Schulberg.— A  crook 
melodrama  that  is  lively  and  often  amusing.    (Oct.) 

MY    LADY    OF    WHIMS— Arrow— Clara    Bow 
again  as  the  carefree  flapper  who  defies  Papa  and  goes 
to  live  in  Greenwich  Village.     Pleasing.     (March  )

'let  Us  Taste  Life 


While  We  May 


9* 


"Doushka,"  he  whispered,  "Life  is  so  short. 
Let  us  taste  it  while  we  may!"  And  the 
princely  sti  anger,  who  had  suddenly  appeared 
out  of  the  soft  shadow  of  the  warm,  sensuous 
Egyptian  night,  bent  and  kissed  her  lips. 

She  struggled  against  the  intoxicating 
emotion — tried  vainly  to  resist — to  push  him 
away  —but  he  again  gathered  her  into  his 
arms  and  most  tenderly  kissed  her. 

All  power  of  movement  seemed  to  desert 
her.  She  only  knew  that  she  was  wildly  happy, 
that  this  was  heaven,  and  she  wished  it  would 

never  end.

Brief  Reviews   of  Current   Pictures 

(  CONTINUED  FROil  PAGE  12  ] 


MYSTIC,  THE  —  Metro-Gold  wyn.  —  Aileen 
Pringle  gives  a  good  performance  in  this  melodrama 
of  a  fake  fortune-teller.    (.November.) 

NEVER  THE  TWAIN  SHALL  MEET— Metro- 
Goldwyn. — Anita  Stewart  gives  a  piquant  perform- 
ance of  a  South  Sea  Island  queen  who  loves  and  loses 
— but  wins  in  the  end.     (.October.) 

NEW  BROOMS— Paramount.— It  won't  sweep 
you  off  your  feet,  but  it  might  do  to  put  in  an  even- 
ing.   Everybody  overacts  but  Bessie  Love.  (January.) 

NEW  COMMANDMENT,  THE— First  National. 
— It's  "Thou  shalt  not  doubt."  Wealthy  boy, 
artist's  model,  misunderstanding,  war,  and  the  tliril- 
lingest  love  scene  in  months.      (January.) 

NOT  SO  LONG  AGO— Paramount.— Aside  from 
the  work  of  Betty  Bronson  and  Ricardo  Cortez,  this 
is  a  rather  dull  story  of  Manhattan  in  its  Age  of  In- 
nocence.    (October.) 

OLD  CLOTHES— Metro-Goldwyn.— The  last 
time  you  will  have  to  look  at  Jackie  Coogan  without 
a  haircut.    Maybe  that's  worth  a  quarter.    (January.) 

ONLY  THING,  THE— M-G-M  —  Conrad  Nagel 
with  sex  appeal!  And  a  mustache.  Eleanor  Board- 
man  in  a  blonde  wig.  An  Elinor  Glyn  story  of  a  prin- 
cess forced  to  marry  an  old  king.    See  it.    (February.) 

OTHER  WOMAN'S  STORY,  THE— Shulberg  — 
A  tiresome  story  that  might  have  been  a  good 
mystery  melodrama.     (January.) 

OUTLAW'S  DAUGHTER,  THE— Universal.— A 
whale  of  a  climax  in  this  melodrama  with  hero  and 
villain  fighting  to  the  death  in  an  aerial  bucket.    (Feb.) 

OUTSIDER,  THE— Fox.— An  intriguing  story  of 
a  mysterious  healer  who  puzzles  London  medical  cir- 
cles. The  crippled  daughter  of  a  physician  is  restored 
to  health,  and  love  enters.  Jacqueline  Logan  is  ex- 
cellent.     (March.) 

PACE  THAT  THRILLS,  THE— First  National.— 
Beautiful  Mary'Astor  wasted  in  this  silly. story-  (Dec.) 

PAINT  AND  POWDER— Chadwick.— The  good 

little  chorus  girl  becomes  a  star  and  marries  the  pro- 
ducer.   Just  fair.     (December.) 

PALACE  OF  PLEASURE,  THE— Fox.— Ed- 
mund Lowe  kidnaps  Betty  Compson,  a  gay  senorita 
of  vamping  tendencies.  Nothing  to  get  excited  over. 
(March.) 

PARISIAN  LOVE  —  B.  P.  Schulberg.  —  Just 
another  one  of  those  things.  In  case  anyone  cares,  it's 
the  romance  of  an  Apache  girl.  Not  for  children.  (Oct.) 

PEACOCK  FEATHERS— Universal.— An  intelli- 
gent story  of  a  rich  girl  who  marries  a  poor  man;  well 
directed  by  Sven  Gade  and  capably  acted  by  Jacque- 
line Logan  and  Cullen  Landis.     (November.) 

PERFECT  CLOWN,  THE— Chadwick  — A  very- 
bad  comedy  with  Larry  Semon.  Might  have  been 
funny  in  two  reels.      (February.) 

PLASTIC  AGE,  THE—  B.  P.  Schulberg— The  col- 
legiate set  is  carrying  on  again.  The  usual  jazz  drama, 
with  Clara  Bow  and  Donald  Keith.     (December.) 

PONY  EXPRESS,  THE— Paramount.— James 
Cruze  directs  another  great  story  of  the  West.  Won- 
derful acting  by  Wallace  Beery,  Ricardo  Cortez  and 
Ernest   Torrence.     (November.) 

PRINCE  OF  BROADWAY,  THE— Chadwick.— 
A  wow  with  the  boys  and  prize  ring  enthusiasts.  A 
defeated  fighter  stages  successful  come-back.  Many 
famous  fighters  introduced.     (March.) 

PRINCE  OF  PEP,  THE— F.  B.  O—  Richard  Tal- 
madge  as  a  young  doctor  who  loses  his  memory  and 
becomes  a  modern  Robin  Hood.  Some  good  stunts. 
{March.) 

PROUD  HEART  (title  changed  from  HIS 
PEOPLE) — Universal. — One  of  the  finest  pictures  of 
Jewish  emigrant  life  we've  seen.  Schildleraut,  pare, 
contributes  a  great  performance.      (December.) 

RANGER  OF  THE  BIG  PINES— Vitagraph.— 
The  usual  Western  with  the  usual  fight,  and  a  good 
performance  by  Eulalie  Jensen.    (October.) 

RED  HOT  TIRES— Warner  Brothers.— Just  a 
mix-up  of  good,  bad  and  indifferent  comedy,  played 
by  Monte  Blue  and  Patsy  Ruth  Miller.     (November.) 

RED  KIMONO,  THE— Vital.— Avoid  this  picture. 
It  is  a  very  stupid  version  of  a  good  story  by  Adcl.i 
Rogers  St.  Johns,  and  not  worth  anybody's  time. 
(March.) 

REGULAR  FELLOW,  A— Paramount.— (Re- 
viewed under  the  original  title,  "He's  a  Prince").  A 
gay  burlesque  of  royalty  with  Raymond  Griffith  as  a 
prince  with  democratic  ideas.     (November.) 


RIDIV  THE  WIND— F.  B.  O— Fred  Thomson 
disappoints.  He  rescues  his  brother  from  bandits,  re- 
turns the  stolen  money  and  wins  the  girl.   (December.) 

ROAD  TO  YESTERDAY,  THE— Producers  Dist. 
— Catch  this  picture  for  the  gorgeous  train  WTeck. 
The  story  is  a  little  muddled  but  fairly  entertaining 
due  to  the  reincarnation  theme.      (January.) 

ROSE  OF  THE  WORLD— Warners— Sincere  per 
formances  by  a  good  cast,  but  an  unconvincing  story. 
Not  very  worthwhile.      (January.) 

RUGGED  WATERS— Paramount.— Outside  of  a 
few  good  storms  and  some  rousing  sea  stuff,  it's  just 
an  old-fashioned  melodrama.     (October.) 

SALLY.  IRENE  AND  MARY— M-G-M— An  ex- 
tremely interesting  story  of  chorus  girl  life,  with  a 
splendid  cast  and  a  goodly  sprinkling  of  laughs  and 
tears.     Sally  O'Neil  is  a  knockout!     (February.) 

SATAN  IN  SABLES— Warner  Brothers.— Lowell 
Sherman  is  a  bad  Russian  grand  duke.  Pauline  Garon 
is    a    little    rose    from    Montmartre.     (December.) 

SCANDAL  STREET— Arrow.— An  interesting 
picture  because  of  movie  studio  atmosphere.  Story' 
of  a  movie  actress  and  her  husband  who  are  both 
starred  at  the  same  studio.     (January.) 

SEA  BEAST,  THE— Warner  Brothers.  The  ex- 
quisite Dolores  Costello  overshadows  John  Barry- 
more  and  the  thrilling  tale  of  Moby  Dick,  the  white 
whale.  Almost  unbelievable,  we  know.  See  for 
yourself.      (March.) 

SEA  WOLF,  THE— Ralph  Ince  Prod.— A  well- 
made  picture  of  Jack  London's  famous  novel.    (Feb.) 

SCARLET  SAINT,  THE— First  National— A 
very  dull  story'  and  inexcusably  sexy.     (February.) 

SCRAPPIN"  KID,  THE— Universal.— A  conven- 
tional Western  with  Art  Acord.    Fair.     (February.) 

SEVEN  DAYS  —  Producers  Distributing.  —  The 
famous  farce  is  given  splendid  production  and  it  is 
well  acted.  Eddie  Gribbon  is  very  amusing.  (No- 
vember.) 

SEVEN  KEYS  TO  BALDPATE— Paramount  — 

Leave  the  dishes  in  the  sink.  If  you  miss  the  first  of 
this,  you're  lost.  A  corking  comedy-melodrama  with 
Douglas  MacLean  and  Edith  Roberts.     (January). 

SEVEN  SINNERS— Warner  Bros.— A  hilarious 
crook  story  with  Marie  Prevost  and  Clive  Brook 
heading  a  good  cast.    (February.) 

SHIP  OF  SOULS,  THE— Asso.  Ex.— Lillian  Rich 
and  Bert  Lytell  in  a  story  of  the  north  where  men  are 
driven  mad  bv  the  silence  and  solitude.  Onlv  fair. 
(March.) 

SIMON  THE  JESTER— Producers  Dist— A 
hodge-podge  story  about  a  clown  with  a  broken  heart, 
played   uninterestingly  by  Eugene   O'Brien.     (Feb.) 

SIX  SHOOTIN"  ROMANCE.  A— Universal  — 
Another  conventional  Western  with  Jack  Hoxie  win- 
ning an  unwilling  bride.     (March.) 

SKINNER'S  DRESS  SUIT— Universal.— Regi- 
nald Denny  and  Laura  La  Plante  screamingly  funny 
trying  to  teach  some  society  folk  the  Charleston.  (Feb.) 

SKYROCKET,  THE— Associated  Exhibitors  — 
The  best  picture  about  motion  picture  people  so 
far,  and  Peggy  Hopkins  Joyce's  debut  on  the  screen. 
Adapted  from  Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns'  novel  of  the 
same  name.     (January.) 

SLAVE  OF  FASHION,  A— Metro-Goldwyn.— 
Wherein  a  guileless  Cinderella  gets  her  man.  A  silly 
but  beautifully  mounted  story  with  the  lovely  Norma 
Shearer   and    the   charming   Lew.      (October.) 

SMILIN"  AT  TROUBLE— F.  B.  O— A  nifty  pic- 
ture with  Lefty  Flynn  as  a  civil  engineer  working  on 
the  construction  of  a  dam.     (February.) 

SOME  PUNKINS— Chadwick.—  Charles  Ray  in 
his  old  hick  role  is  fairly  amusing.     (February.) 

SON  OF  HIS  FATHER.  A— Paramount.— One  of 
the  dullest  pictures  on  record,  from  a  Harold  Bell 
Wright  story.      (December.) 

SONG  AND  DANCE  MAN.  THE— Paramount.— 
Tom  Moore  and  Bessie  Love  In  an  interesting  story  of 
back  stage  lite.  Bessie  does  the  Charleston  again. 
(March.) 

SOULMATES— Metro-Goldwyn—  A  highly  un- 
COnvtnciBq  romance  between  an  English  lord  and  a 
plebeian  lady.  Ailcen  Pringle  and  Edmund  Lowe 
play  unsuitable  roles.     Not  worth  while.     (March.)

feature  of  this  film.     (December.)

Dempster  will  surprise  you  in  this.  It's  a  peppy  story

everything  and  see  this  corking  mystery  play  of  the

so  wife  will  come  down  to  earth  and  be  human. 
Good.      (March.) 

TOWER  OF  LIES,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn.— A

Members 
tell  why  this  soap  is 
best  for  their  skin 


GOLD  slippers  above  the  asphalt  pavement 
.  .  .  the  flash  of  jewels  under  the  softness 
of  furs  .  .  .  low  purring  of  motor  cars,  crowding 
to  the  curb  ...  a  debutante  dance  at  the  Colony 
Club,  the  smartest  club  in  New  York. 

Within  the  carefully  guarded  portals  of  the 
Colony  Club  one  sees  New  York  society  at  its 
best — gay,  gracious,  suave,  with  a  little  of  the 
grand  manner,  of  old  traditions,  lingering  be- 
neath its  brightly  glittering  surface. 

And  the  women,  distinguished  and  elegant,  who 
make  up  the  membership  of  the  Club — there  are 
none  in  the  world  more  fastidious  than  these. 


How  do  these  women,  who 
can  afford  the  most  costly 
personal  luxuries,  take  care 
of  their  skin?  What  soap  do 
they  find,  pure  enough  and 
fine  enough,  to  trust  their 
complexions  to? 

Of  nearly  400  members 
whom  we  asked  this  ques- 
tion, more  than  half  an- 
swered, "Woodbury's!" 

"Woodbury's  always," 
they  commented.  "It /eaves 
my  skin  smooth  and  velvety" 
— "Leaves  my  skin  feeling  so 
clean  and  refreshed"  —  "/ 
have  a  very  tender  skin,  and 
this  is  the  only  soap  that 
soothes  it"  —  "It's  been  my 
fa  voritefor  v  ears . ' ' 


A  skin  specialist  worked  out 
the  formula  by  which  Wood- 
bury's is  made.  This  formula 


not  only  calls  for  the  purest 
ingredients;  it  also  demands 
greater  refinement  in  the 
manufacturing  process  than 
is  commercially  possible 
with  ordinary  toilet  soap. 

Around  each  cake  of 
Woodbury's  Facial  Soap  is 
wrapped  a  booklet  contain- 
ing special  cleansing  treat- 
ments for  overcoming  com- 
mon skin  defects,  such  as 
blackheads,  blemishes,  etc. 

The  same  qualities  that 
give  Woodbury's  its  bene- 
ficial effect  in  overcoming 
these  common  skin  troubles, 
make  it  ideal  for  regular  use. 
A  25c  cake  lasts  a  month  or 
six  weeks. 

Within  a  week  after  begin- 
ning to  use  Woodbury's  you 
will  sec  an  improvement  in  your 
complexion.  Get  your  Wood- 
bury's today— begin  tonight  the 
treatment  your  skin  needs!

LOVELY  as  the  dark  lady  of  the  Sonnets  is 
the  new  Mildred  Harris  soon  to  appear

ex-Mrs.  Chaplin,  now  the  happy  Mrs. 
Terry  McGovern,  dyed  her  blonde  locks  for 
Mr.  Laemmle's  picture.  A  sensitive  beauty, 
Mildred  deserves  success. 


A  QUICK  route  to  fame  is  to  become  a  comedian's  leading  woman.  Which  is  what 
Jobyna  Ralston  did.  Harold  Lloyd  wanted  a  sweet  young  thing  in  his  company.  He 
glimpsed  the  daintiness  and  charm  of  Jobyna.  She  got  the  job.  She  still  has  it. 


CLARA  and  the  whale.    That's  the  way  it  began  for  little  Miss  Bow.    She  and  the 
whale  put  over  "Down  to  the  Sea  in  Ships."    The  whale  then  retired  from  public 
life  but  Clara  kept  right  on  going  up.    Now  she  is  one  of  our  flippest  flappers.

Speaking  of  Pictures 


By  James  R.  Quirk 


R 


MX  INGRAM  had  better  come  back  to  America 
to  make  his  future  productions  or  retire  to  his 
beloved  Tunis. 


TT  was  Rex  Ingram's  own  business  if  he  wanted  to  go 
"■■to  Nire  to  regain  his  health.  He  lias,  I  hear,  improved 
it  vastly;  but,  judging  from  the  picture  he  made  there, 
he  has  improved  it  physically  only.  Not  only  was  the 
picture  a  great  dramatic  disappointment,  but  there 
were  episodes  in  it  of  suggestive  perversity  that  will 
detract  from  the  reputation  of  this  great  director. 

"D  EX  INGRAM  has  gotten  to  a  point  in  his  prof'es- 
■*-^"sion  where  he  cannot  be  supervised.  He  was  a  com- 
mercial asset  to  the  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  Company, 

and  rather  than  lose  him  they  agreed  to  his  plan  of  pro- 
ducing abroad.  "  Mare  Nostrum"  is  the  first  result.  It 
cost  8800,000.  The  Broadway  wag  who  translated  it 
as  "Horse  liniment"  before  the  opening  was  more  of  a 
prophet  than  a  translator. 

Griffith  found  that  he  could  not  carry  on  all  ends  of 
the  business  of  production  alone.  Neilan,  Yon  Stro- 
heim,  De  Mille,  have  all  done  their  best  work  with  the 
co-operation  of  more  practical  minds.  On  his  own 
De  Mille  has  done  nothing  outstanding.  I  doubt  that 
Ingram  cares  whether  he  makes  another  picture  or  not, 
and  while  I  have  been  a  great  admirer  of  his  I  feel  that 
the  public  will  be  equally  indifferent  if  he  turns  out 
another  like  "Mare  Nostrum." 

TOURING  the  making  of  "La  Boheme"  Lillian  Gish 
^-^ protested  so  hard  against  kissing  Rodolphe,  played 
by  Jack  Gilbert,  that  not  a  kissing  scene  was  taken. 
Miss  Gish  felt  that  it  was  not  in  tune  with  her  person- 
ality to  play  a  part  in  which  she  was  the  object  of  pas- 
sionate love. 

Then  the  picture  was  put  together  and  run  for  a 
small  group  of  critics.  Their  unanimous  verdict  con- 
vinced her  that  she  was  wrong,  and  for  two  whole  days 
Lillian  and  Jack  went  through  kissing  scenes  while 
King  Yidor  held  the  megaphone  and  stop  watch. 

And  nowr  she  is  billed  to  do  Hawthorne's  "Scarlet 
Letter." 

A    NEW    profession    has    developed    recently — the 

supervisor.     A  few  years  ago  one  man   tried   to 

supervise  every  picture  made  by  his  company.    He  was 


the  producer.  He  tried  to  read  every  storj  submitted, 
edit  ever)  continuity,  direct  the  selection  of  director 
and  players,  and  smooth  oul  the  film  finally  presented 
to  him.  Jesse  Lasky,  of  the  Famous  Players-Lasky 
Company,  carried  a  superhuman  burden  for  years  under 
this  system,  but  has  now  acquired  a  general  stafl  ol 
supervisors  who  relieve  him  of  the  maddening  detail. 

Today  a  supervisor  has  charge  of  from  one  to  four 
units  and  is  responsible  for  the  finished  product.  They 
earn  from  five  hundred  dollars  a  week  to  the  salaries  ol 
Irving  Thalberg  of  Metro  and  June  Mat  his  of  First 
National,  both  of  whom  receive  weekly  pay  checks  of 
two  thousand  dollars — and  earn  them. 

"T—TOW  does  one  become  a  supervisor?"  I  have  been 
■*•  tasked.     You  cannot  learn  to  become  a  supervisor 

in  any  college  but  the  university  of  studio  experience. 
Thalberg  was  Carl  Laemmle's  secretary  and  took  on  all 
the  responsibility  he  could  find.  Mathis  was  an  actre-- 
and  became  a  scenario  writer.  Earl  Hudson,  John 
McCormick  and  Bernie  Fineman  of  First  National 
were  publicity  men.  So  was  Schulberg,  of  Famous 
Players-Lasky.  He  had  a  heartbreaking  experience- 
making  his  own  productions,  but  he  is  on  top  again. 
William  LeBaron  and  Julian  Johnson,  of  the  eastern 
studios  of  the  same  company,  were  writers.  LeBaron 
wrote  musical  comedies  and  Julian  was  editor  of

How  They  Do  It ! 

Millions  are  asking  how  the  motion  pictures  are  accomplishing  the 
marvelous  new  effects  which  have  been  developed  in  the  past  few 
years.      It  took  months  of  investigation  to  give  you  the  answer 


DO  you  remember  how  you  thrilled 
when  the  Red  Sea  parted  to  let 
Moses  and  the  children  of  Israel 
pass  through,  only  to  close  again  and 
swallow  up  Pharaoh  and  his  pursuing  war- 
riors in  C.  B.  De  Mule's  stupendous  "Ten  Commandments"? 

How  you  gasped  as  T.  Roy  Barnes  fled  from  the  burning 
tenement  with  Claire  Windsor  in  his  arms  as  flames  and  smoke 
spurted  about  them  and  debris  crashed  on  all  sides  in  "Nellie, 
the  Beautiful  Cloak  Model"? 

The  destruction  of  Pontius  Pilate's  palace  with  the 
crushing  of  hundreds  underneath  the  ruins  in  "Ben  Hur  "  ? 

The  rescue  of  Doris 
Kenyon  by  Ronald  Col- 
man  in  Fitzmaurice's 
great  picture,  "  A  Thief  in 
Paradise,"  as  Miss  Ken- 
yon'  s  runaway  horse 
reared  and  stood  poised  on 
his  hind  legs  on  the  very 
brink  of  a  precipice? 

Conway  Tearle's  hair- 
breadth escape  from  the 
mountain  of  rushing  water 
in  "The  Great  Divide"? 

The  stirring  battle 
scenes  in  "The  Big  Pa- 
rade "  in  which  giant  shells 
burst  all  around,  tearing 
huge  craters  and  spread- 
ing death  as  our  boys 
marched  on  and  on  and  on 
through  No  Man's  Land. 

How  Blanche  Sweet 
carried  Ronald  Colman  to 
safety  as  the  blazing  rocf 
fell  and  seemed  certain  to 
bury  them.  This  in  "His 
Supreme  Moment." 

I  could  go  on  and  re- 
mind you  of  train  wrecks 
which  have  brought  you 
from  your  seats,  of  battles 
against  storm  and  ship- 
wrecks at  sea — of  thrills 
and  hairbreadth  escapes 
and  terrific  disasters. 

How  many  times  have 
you  gone  home  from  your 
motion  picture  theater 
and  wondered  how  these 
tilings  were  accomplished, 
discussed  with  your  fam- 
ily and  friends  what  pos- 
sible method  could  have 
been  used  to  achieve  the 
seemingly  impossible? 

AFTER  months  of  in- 
vestigation, I  am 
able  to  give  you  an  ex- 
planation of  the  thrills  in 
the  pictures  1   have  men- 


By  Cal  York 


This  great  outdoor  scene  is  made  up  of  three  parts  and 
was  made  right  in  the  studios  of  the  Paramount  Com- 
pany at  Astoria,  L.  I.  It  is  composed  of  three  parts:  a 
miniature  four  feet  high,  six  feet  in  front  of  the  camera; 
the  top  part  of  the  cliff,  fifteen  feet  high,  eighty  feet  in 
front  of  the  camera;  and  a  painted  hack  drop,  a  few 
feet  further  away.  In  the  long  shots,  or  distant  views, 
you  sec  the  whole  in  convincing  reality.  The  close-up 
shots  are  shown  in  the  white  frame,  the  bottom  of 
which  indicates  where  the  miniature  ends  and  the 
larger  set  begins.  This  scene  is  from  Gloria  Swanson's 
new  picture,  "The  Untamed  Lady" 


tioned  and  to  explain  to  you  the  general 
method  used  in  most  other  similar  scenes. 
First.  I  will  tell  you  how  they  parted  the 
Red  Sea.  This  was  done  by  a  process  of 
double  printing,  worked  out  by  Roy  Pome- 
roy,  technical  director  at  Lasky*s.  But  that,  marvelous  as  it 
seemed,  was  but  a  simple  thing  compared  with  the  miracles  now 
being  wrought  on  celluloid  by  Frank  Williams,  the  wizard  of 
Hollywood,  who  has  dreamed  out  and  perfected  the  moving  or 
traveling  mat  process  of  printing,  which  has  made  possible  most 
cf  the  recent  marvels  of  the  screen. 

To  part  the  Red  Sea,  Fomeroy  first  built,  on  the  Lasky  lot, 

two  wooden  walls  about 
the  height  of  the  ordinary 
room  and  backed  them  at 
one  end  with  a  scenic  drop 
to  represent  the  Red  Sea 
country.  These  walls  he 
covered  with  a  jelly-like 
substance  made  from  sili- 
cate of  soda  and  sulphuric 
acid,  which  shimmered 
and  shook  and  photo- 
graphed like  water.  The 
floor  space  between  these 
two  walls  was  made  to 
look  like  sand.  He  then 
photographed  this  set. 

Then,  with  two  cameras 
set  up  at  the  open  end.  he 
emptied  thousands  of  gal- 
lons of  water  between  the 
walls  from  huge  water 
tanks  behind  them.  One 
of  the  c  a  m  eras  w  a  s 
cranked  backwards,  and 
this  showed  the  parting  of 
the  Red  Sea.  The  other 
camera  was  cranked  for- 
ward, and  showed  the 
waters  joining  together. 
Both  were  done  in  s1o\t 
motion,  which  will  be  ex- 
plained later. 

The  next  step  was  taken 
out  on  the  desert. 

Wire  fences  were  built  a 
few  inches  further  apart 
than  were  the  jelly  walls 
built  on  the  stage.  First 
Moses  and  his  followers, 
with  their  live  stock,  were 
marched  between  these 
wire  fences,  which  were 
just  outside  the  camera 
lines,  and  therefore  did 
not  show  in  the  picture. 
What  the  fences  did  do, 
however,  was  to  keep  the 
goats  and  donkeys  from 
poking  their  noses  outside 
the  camera  lines,  which 
would  never  have  done 


An  amazing  revelation  of  the  latest  discoveries  of 
pictures  which  produce  miracles  before  your  eyes 


for  in  the  double  printing  process  the  camera  lines  would 
become  the  walls  of  water.  And  it  would  ne\  er  do  for  a  donkey 
to  shove  his  head  through  the  Red  Sea. 

\ii  i  Moses  and  his  Children  of  Israel  had  passed  through 
satisfactorily,  under  the  grinding  camera,  they  then  photo 
graphed  Pharaoh  and  his  Egyptians  madly  pursuing  in  their 
chariots  through  the  same  fenced  lane.  And  if  the  horses  and 
chariots  smashed  out  through  the  light  wire  fence,  it  was  fine, 
for  you  will  remember  they  were  seen  madly  milling  about 

before  the  walls  of  water  finally  obliterated  them. 

THEN  when  they  put  all  together,  by  double  printing,  here  is 
what  they  got: 
First,  a  wall  of  water  parted  and  left  a  lane  of  dry  land  in  the 
Red  Sea.    (You  remember  the  camera  cranking  backwards  ga\  e 

them  the  negative  for  this.) 

Then  Moses  and  his  band  were  printed  in  passing  along  the 
space  between  the  walls  of  water.     After  them,  came  Pharaoh 
and    his    warriors    in    full 
pursuit. 

Right  over  these  they 
printed  the  original  nega- 
tive of  the  waters  rushing 
together,  and  this  com- 
pletely engulfed  the  Egyp- 
tians. 

The  only  person  to  get 
wet  in  the  closing  of  the 
Red  Sea  was  Charles  de 
Roche,  who  played  Pha- 
raoh. The  blotting  out  of 
the  King  and  his  war  char- 
iot was  not  done  by  double 
printing  but  by  trick  pho- 
tography, as  it  seemed 
necessary  to  the  story  of 
give  this  incident  more 
personal  drama. 

The  method  used  was 
this:  DeRoche  and  his 
horses  and  chariot  were 
placed  on  a  treadmill. 
The  camera  was  on  a  plat- 
form facing  them.  Over 
DeRoche's  head  and  out 
of  sight  of  the  camera  was 
a  huge  water  tank,  with  a 
water  chute  projecting 
from  it.  This  chute  gave 
into  a  tank  between 
DeRoche  and  the  camera, 
but  below  the  level  of  the 
camera  line.  While 
DeRoche  whipped  his 
horses  like  a  madman  on 
the  treadmill  and  did  all 
the  acting  necessary  to 
being  engulfed  by  water, 
the  water  in  the  tank  was 
released  and  poured  down 
in  a  torrent  between  him 
and  the  grinding  camera, 
giving  a  perfect  illusion. 
The  only  reason  DeRoche 
got  wet  was  because  the 
water  chute  running 
above  his  head  leaked 
badly. 

Does  this  seem  wonder- 
ful to  you  ?  It  should.  It 
is.  And  yet  I  tell  you  that 
it  is  simplicity  itself  com- 
pared with  themoving  mat. 


These  two  drawings  explain  how  the  runaway  horse 
thrill  in  George  Fitzmaurice's  "A  Thief  in  Paradise" 
was  made.  The  upper  drawing  shows  the  cameraman 
getting  his  shots  of  a  very  steep  and  very  real  precipice. 
It  also  has  the  horse  with  its  rider  and  the  rescuer 
sketched  in  on  the  edge  of  the  precipice  where  it  act- 
ually appears  in  the  picture. 

The  lower  drawing  shows  the  run  that  was  made 
before  the  dead  white  background,  with  the  horse  rear- 
ing and  Ronald Colman  coming  toDorisKenyon's  rescue. 

The  upper  drawing  was  the  background  negative  and 
the  lower  drawing  the  moving  mat  negative,  and  by  the 
Williams'  process  the  rearing  horse,  rider  and  Colman 
seemed  to  be  actually  placed  on  the  brink  of  the  precipice 


Remember  that  in  the     Ten  Commandments"  the  double 
printing  put  the  moving  people  into  a  vacancy  on  the  film 
the  bl.mk  space  left  in  the  miniature  between  the  wall 

water.     Also,   that    the   double    printing  ol    the    moving    water 

over  the  Egyptians  simply  obliterated  them. 

Hut  Frank  Williams  can  put  moving  actors  photographed  in 

Ilolb  wood  into  a  moving  background  photographed  anywhere 

in  the  world      put   actual  life  and  dramatic  action  into  mil 

cures,  which,  during  the  previous  years  when  they  had  worked 

With  miniatures,  seemed  absolutely  impossible. 

\\  illiams  has  made  possible  scenes  i  hat  could  never  othei 

have  been  shot  in  motion  pictures.     It  is  not  only  that   he  bas 
reduced  the  cost  so  that  often  he  can  give  the  produo 
that   would  otherwise  have  been  prohibitive  because  of  building 
sets,  etc.     Hut  he  can  give  them  scenes  that  couldn't   be  physi- 
cally shot  in  any  other  way      such  as  a  huge  building  (  i  umbling 

and  toppling  in  an  earthquake  and  actually  burying  hundreds  of 
people.     It   isn't  only  that  he  can  make  hairbreadth  escapes 

without  endangering  t he- 
lives  of  actors  and  ani- 
mals, as  was  sometimes 
done  to  get  effects  in  the 
old  days.  He  can  make 
thrills  that  only  the  actual 
killing  of  animals  and  men 
would  render  possible — 
and  this  without  the  actor 
or  animal  being  anywhere 
near  the  scene. 

He  can  build  a  minia- 
ture town,  put  real,  living 
people  into  it,  and  have 
them  go  through  any  nec- 
essary dramatic  action, 
and  then  he  can  make  a 
miniature  torrent  some- 
where else  altogether  and 
have  it  sweep  away  the 
town  with  its  laughing, 
singing,  dancing  popula- 
tion and  make  you  believe 
when  you  see  it  on  the 
screen  that  it  actually 
happened. 


THESE  things  he  does 
by  the  patented  process 
of  the  moving  or  traveling 
mat.  It  is  a  matter  of 
printing,  remember,  more 
than  of  photography. 
Williams  himself  photo- 
graphs nothing.  The  neg- 
atives from  which  he 
works  are  all  shot  for  him. 
under  his  direction,  and 
the  miracles  are  performed 
in  his  laboratory. 

It  hasn't  been  easy  for 
Williams  to  attain  his  title 
of  the  miracle  man  of 
films.  He  has  given  to  the 
motion  picture  art  one  of 
its  greatest  discoveries. 
Like  all  great  inventors, 
he  has  been  scorned, 
laughed  a  t ,  at  times 
almost  starved,  forced  to 
work  under  unspeakably 
difficult  circumstances. 
But,  none  of  these  things 
moved  him. 

A  big,  quiet,  simple  fel- 

29 


low,  only  thirty-two  years 
old.  Shy,  ratlu-r  diffident 
of  speech,  lie  makes  every- 
thing he  does  look  easy. 
When  he  comes  on  a  set,  his 
quiet  presence  is  scarcely 
noticed,  and  cameramen 
and  technical  experts  go  on 
spluttering  and  arguing, 
and  when  he  is  finally  ap- 
pealed to,  he  settles  the 
problem  so  simply  that 
everyone  wonders  why  he 
didn't   think  of  it  himself. 


WELLIAMSstartedasa 
cameraman  at  the  old 
Essanay  lot  the  year  he  was 
out  of  high  school.  He  was 
fifteen  years  old  and  knew 
just  enough  about  a  camera 
to  turn  a  crank.  He  has 
spent  seventeen  years  at  his 
work,  and  it  was  as  far  back 
as  191 2  that  he  started  work 
on  the  moving  mat  process. 

He  had  no  money  and  few  would 
Ford,   Edison,   Marconi,   Fulton 
experiences. 

At  one  time,  not  so  many  years  ago,  John  Considine,  who  is 


A  rolling  stage  at  studios  of  the  Education  Film  Co. 
in  Hollywood.  Upside-down  scenes  and  rolling  ship 
scenes  are  easy  with  its  use.  It  is  possible  to  show 
ship  interiors  on  the  stage  inside  the  cylinder  which 
duplicates  exactly  the  movement  of  a  ship  in  a  storm 


listen.    He  was  laughed  at — 
all  went  through  the  same 


Joe  Scher.ck's  chief  lieuten- 
ant, could  have  bought  a 
half  interest  in  Williams' 
big  idea  for  a  couple  of 
thousand  dollars.  Today  it 
is  rumored  in  Hollywood 
that  Williams  has  refused  a 
cool  half  million  for  the 
same  half  interest. 

THE  way  he  finally  made 
it  was  this — he'd  work  a 
while  as  a  cameraman  and 
save  a  few  hundred  dollars, 
and  then  go  back  to  work  in 
his  laboratory — usually  the 
bathroom  in  the  place  he 
was  living — until  his  sav- 
ings were  exhausted.  Then 
back  to  the  camera  for  an- 
other stake,  and  so  on. 

In   1912  he  was  camera- 
man for  Mack  Sennett 
when  they  had  the  back  end 
of  a  little  grocery  store  for  a 
studio.      During    this    time 
Williams  made  his  first  attempt  to  use  the  moving  mat  process. 
It  failed,  however,  due  to  the  inaccuracies  of  the  cameras  and 
printing  machines  of  the  time  and  the  crude  film  in  use. 

But  Williams  wouldn't  let  go  of  the  idea.    He  kept  right  at  it,

and  finally.,  in  1917,  he  again  tried  to  per- 
fect bis  process,  working  in  a  laboratory 
furnished  by  Adolph  Zukor,  oi  Paramount. 
Bm  again  he  faced  defeat,  and  for  the  same 
reasons  mechanical  inaccuracies  and  im- 
proper film. 

Fl  \  VLLY,  six  years  ago,  Ins  efforts  were 
crowned  with  success.  The  Williams 
moving  mat  process  was  used  in  a  Universal 
picture,  "Wild  Honey,"  and  acknowledged 
commercially.  Williams  received  a  great 
deal  of  help  and  gives  much  credit  for  this 
to  Elmer  Sheeley,  then  a  Universal  art 
director,  especially  in  the  building  of  the 
miniatures 

Through  the  better  grade  of  film,  a 
motoi  cranked  camera  set  on  a  solid  tripod, 
and  through  his  own  printing  machine, 
built  according  to  Williams'  own  drawings 
at  a  cost  of  8 is. 000,  one  whose  accuracy  is 
to  within  one  ten  thousandth  of  an  inch, 
all  the  obstacles  which  bad  frustrated  him 
solong  were  overcome,  and  Williams'  moving 

mat  proeess  came  to  life,  as  perhaps  the  greatest  single  inven- 
tion in  motion  pictures  since  that  of  the  camera  itself. 

Once  having  demonstrated  what  he  could  do  in  "Wild 
Honey,"  in  which  he  made  a  miniature  stream  appear  a  rushing 
torrent  over  a  hundred  feel  high  which  pursued  l'riscilla  Dean 
down  a  dry  stream  bed  and  finally  engulfed  her,  Williams  did

Never  Before  Told 

This  set  of  illustrations  graphically  explains  for 
the  first  time  the  marvelous  traveling  mat  process 
invented  by  Mr.  Williams,  which  makes  it  possible 
for  one  cameraman  to  take  a  background  in  Europe, 
another  to  take  the  action  of  moving  persons  in 
Hollywood,  and  to  combine  them  in  one  motion 
picture  so  that  when  it  appears  on  the  screen  the 
action  seems  to  take  place  against  the  background 
so  perfectly  that  it  cannot  be  detected  by  the  human 
eye. 

Follow  this  explanation  carefully,  and  the  method 
will  be  clearly  demonstrated  to  you. 

No.  1.  This  is  the  negative  of  the  moving  figure 
taken  in  front  of  a  white  background.  In  the  nega- 
tive, white  appears  black  and  black  appears  white. 
It  is  from  this  negative  that  the  Williams  traveling 
mat,  which  has  revolutionized  motion  pictures,  is 
made. 

No.  2.  This  is  a  print  made  from  the  No.  1  nega- 
tive and  is  printed  on  film  of  extreme  contrast.  In 
this  the  white  and  black  values  are  given  their  true 
tones. 

No.  3.  This  is  the  No.  2  film  intensified  in  a  silver 
nitrate  solution  so  that  it  becomes  a  dead  black 
silhouette,  while  the  rest  of  the  film  is  transparent. 

No.  4.  This  is  the  background  negative  which  can 
be  taken  any  place  in  the  world  or  made  from  still 
photographs  or  from  miniatures.  This  background 
negative  can  have  put  in  it  any  motion  required. 

No.  5.  This  shows  the  most  important  step  in  the 
Williams'  moving  mat  process.  In  front  you  see  the 
moving  mat  or  drawing  No.  3.  In  the  middle  is  the 
background  negative,  drawing  No.  4,  and  at  the  back 
is  the  unexposed  film  on  which  they  are  to  be  printed 
concurrently.  By  this  double  printing,  you  get  a 
print  of  the  background  negative,  which  leaves  an 
unexposed  portion  in  each  frame,  corresponding  ex- 
actly to  the  figure  you  see  in  drawing  No.  1. 

No.  6.  The  result  of  the  double  printing  being 
made  in  No.  5,  which  leaves  a  silhouette  blank  space 
of  the  moving  figure,  is  again  double  printed  and 
into  the  blank  space  is  printed  the  real  photographic 
action  taken  in  the  original  negative. 

Thus  you  see  that  one  double  printing  has  left  a 
blank  silhouette  space  into  which  the  real  action  is 
double  printed  in  every  detail.

You'd  expect — if  you  didn't  know  her — a  girl  like  Gloria  would  have 

fome  secret  talisman  for  success.      But  just  like  anybody's  maiden

If  you  believe  Gloria  didn't  always

"EDITOR'S  NOTE:   Ten  years  ago  a  girl  of  sixteen,  with  her  aunt, 
visited  the  old  Essanay  motion  picture  studio  in  Chirafo.    She  was 
i  iterested  in  what  she  saw,  asked  if  she  could  not  appear  as  an  extra 
i  1  a  picture,  and.  a  few  days  later,  got  her  chance. 

Today  she  is  an  actress  of  exceptional  talent  and  drawing  power,  and 
i=  one  of  the  most  widely-known  women  in  the  world.  Her  face  is 
familiar  in  every  country  where  motion  pictures  are  shown.  Her  salary 
exceeds  that  of  any  other  actress  on  the  screen.  She  is  one  of  the  best- 
dressed  women  in  the  world,  and  her  styles  in  clothes,  hats,  jewelry, 
hair-dressing  are  copied  by  women  and  rirls  in  every  civilized  country.

MY  formula  for  success?     As  the  old  Lady  said  when 
she  first  saw  a  hippopotamus — "There  ain't  no  such 
animal."     What  1  mean  is  that  I  have  not,  Inever 
have  had  any  formula  which  could  be  applied  to  all 
cases.    So  many  elements  have  entered  into  my  life,  even  from 
tin'  time  I  was  a  baby,  that  1  am  unable  to  pick  out  any  one 
cause  for  being  what  and  where  1  am  today. 

Bui  1  can  give  you  one  rule  which,  if  adhered  to.  will  make 
success  more  easy  of  attainment.  It  is  contained  in  the  old 
proverb  from  the  Arabic:  "Only  the  fool  makes  the  same  mis- 
take twice."  In  other  words,  every  experience  in  life,  whether 
good  or  bad,  contains  a  lesson.  If  you  will  find  this  lesson,  if 
you  will  profit  by  it,  if  you  will  make  use  o\  it  later  in  life  when 
the  occasion  demands,  you  will  find  that  your  problems  will  be 
simplified  and  your  path  to  sue  :ess  infinitely  more  easy. 

,'  ) 


Almost  everyone,  when  asked  to  what  his  or  her  success  is 
attributable,  says:  "Work;  unremitting  labor."  That  is  so 
trite  that  I  am  tired  of  hearing  it.  but  it  is  none  the  less  true  in 
the  great  majority  of  cases.  It  is  true  in  my  own  case  also,  to 
some  extent. 

But.  as  I  said,  there  were  other  elements.  I  must  have  had 
some  innate  adaptability  for  a  theatrical  career.  That  gave  a 
foundation  on  which  to  build,  at  least. 

Then  there  was  what  motion  picture  people  call  "the  lucky 
break."  Don't  tell  me  there  is  no  such  thing  as  luck.  I  know 
better.  I've  had  it — both  kinds — but  the  good  has  pre- 
dominated. 

Of  course,  there  has  been  work  —  hard  work.  Rut  it  always 
has  been  work  that  I  enjoyed,  and  every  new  bit  of  work  has 
taught  me  something.  Trite  though  it  may  be  to  say,  I  know 
that,  no  matter  how  strong  your  foundation,  no  matter  how 
carefully  your  plans  are  laid,  your  superstructure  cannot  be 
erected  without  work. 

But,  far  back  of  all  these,  before  I  knew  anything  about  any 
inborn  love  for  the  theater,  or  work,  or  the  lucky  break.  I  was 
fortunate  enough  to  have  a  background  which  few  girls  are 
privileged  to  have.  For  that  my  parents  were  responsible,  and 
1  have  never  ceased  to  give  thanks  that  they  were  as  they  were. 
To  them  ami  to  their  treatment  oi  me  as  a  child.  I  give  the  lion's 
share  of  the  credit  for  what  I  am. 

My  father  was  (lie  greatest  single  influence  in  my  life  during 
the  years  when  my  mind  was  plastic,  when  it  was  in  the  forma- 
tive state.  Hut  for  him  I  might  have  been  a  stenographer  or  a 
clerk  in  a  department  store.     (Incidentally,  I  have  been  ac-

The  young  intellectual.  Gloria 
was  half-past  five  when  she  tried 
this  out  on  the  family  album.  The 
long,  straight  bob,  the  Windsor  tie, 
the  Byronic  collar,  all  these  showed 
how  the  wind,  for  the  little  Swan- 
son  ship,  was  blowing 


cused  of  holding  that  last-named  posi- 
tion, but  really,  I  never  did.)  It  was  his 
philosophy  in  my  up-bringing  more  than 
anything  else  which  gave  me  the  wisdom, 
the  ability  and  the  strength  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  the  opportunities  which, 
later  in  life,  came  my  way. 

It  was  due  to  him  that  the  possibility  of  failure  in 
anything  I  might  wish  to  undertake  never  has  en- 
tered into  my  scheme  of  life.  Don't  misunderstand 
that  statement.  It  is  not  actuated  by  conceit,  by 
egoism.  What  I  mean  is  this:  Many  people,  with  a 
definite  object  in  view,  permit  themselves  to  be 
daunted  by  possible  difficulties.  They  look  ahead, 
see  that  the  path  to  their  goal  is  not  perfectly  clear 
and  straight,  and  they  erect  in  their  minds  a  wall  of 
possible  failure  which,  while  wholly  imaginary,  is, 
nevertheless,  hard  to  surmount. 

I  have  never  erected  such  a  wall  for  myself,  and  I 
have  started  some  enterprises  which,  to  an  onlooker, 
might  have  seemed  extremely  difficult,  even  im- 
possible, to  carry  through.  If  t  had  had  that  wall  of 
doubt  to  surmount,  I  probably  should  have  failed. 
Without  that  staring  me  in  the  face,  success  was  in- 
finitely more  simple. 

Again  I  want  to  plead  not  guilty  to  any  charge  of 
conceit  in  this  regard.  It  was  self-reliance,  not 
egoism.  I  was  brought  up  to  believe  in  myself,  to 
feel  that  whatever  I  desired  I  could  do  or  get  if  I 
went  after  it  the  right  way — and  kept  after  it.  I  was 
educated  by  my  father  not  to  a  disregard,  but  to  an 
abs<  lute  ignorance  of  the  possibility  of  failure.  In 
the  English  hunting  field,  it  is  the  ambition  of  every 
sportsman  to  "ride  straight";  that  is,  to  let  no  ob- 
stacle turn  him  from  a  direct  course  after  the  quarry. 
That  was  the  training  my  father  gave  my  mind. 

Of  course,  I  did  not         [  continued  on  page  117  ]

By  Elizabeth  Sears 


According     to     numerology, 

1926  will  be  Mary  Pickford's 

great  year 


A  FEW  years  ago  a  brisk  young  Western  chap  came  to 
New  York,  intent  upon  conquering  it  in  a  business 
way.  At  a  dinner  attended  by  many  men  of  distinc- 
tion, he  met  a  former  schoolmate  who  had  become 
rather  noted  in  his  own  line  of  work — so  noted,  in  fact,  that  if  I 
mentioned  his  name,  you  might  recognize  him  at  once. 

"Hello,  Bill,"  greeted  his  former  schoolmate,  cordially. 

The  man  bent  a  reproachful  look  on  him  while  he  was  shaking 
hands. 

"  My  name  is  David,  now,"  he  reminded  him.  "  For  the  luvva 
Mike  don't  call  me  'Bill.'    No  one  calls  me  'Bill'  any  more." 

The  Westerner  thought  his  schooltime  friend  was  having  a 
joke  with  him. 

"Why  the  change  to  Biblical  nomenclature?"  he  said. 
"You  haven't  had  to  change  the  rest  of  your  name,  too,  I 
hope." 

The  schoolmate  took  it  very  seriously. 

"The  name  of  'Bill'  was  a  cross  vibration,"  he  explained. 
"It  was  causing  me  many  obstacles  and  difficulties  to  over- 
come that  were  entirely  unnecessary.  I  merely  changed  my 
name  to  a  happier  vibration — and  I  have  been  wonderfully 
successful  ever  since." 

The  newcomer,  never  having  heard  of  vibrations  or  numer- 
ology before,  was  plainly  mystified.  He  wrote  home  confi- 
dentially that  he  had  met  his  old  friend  Bill  and  that  too  much 
success  had  turned  his  brain  a  bit — he  said  very  odd  things. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  the 
friend  had  merely  exer- 
cised his  right  of  choice  in 
the  selection  of  the  new 
materials  for  success  and 
had  harmonized  his  nu- 
merical vibrations  with 
that  of  the  line  he  wished 
most  to  succeed  in. 

Everybody  has  ability 
in  some  line.  It  is  merely 
a  question  of  knowing  in 
just  what  direction  it  lies 
and  in  learning  how  to  use 
it  after  we  have  located  it. 
For  even  a  mountain  of 
gold  would  be  of  no  ma- 
terial benefit  to  you  if  you 
did  not  have  the  machin- 
ery lor  pulling  it  in  active 
circulation — would  it? 


hitched  wisely  with  opportunity  will  bring  the  happiness  and 
peace  of  mind  that  every  human  seeks. 

It  is  the  simplest  thing  in  the  universe — the  secret  of  cause  and 
effect.  It  is  the  law  on  which  the  universe  is  based — the  law  by 
which  the  worlds  revolve — as  old  as  life  itself. 

Follow  this  law  and  your  life  winds  on  with  a  precision  and  a 
system  that  makes  your  work  easy  to  your  hand. 

Fight  it,  either  consciously  or  unconsciously,  and  your  life 
becomes  tangled  in  a  snarl  of  baffled  aims  and  purposes. 

It  is  like  rowing  a  boat  in  a  strong  and  friendly  current — if 
you  guide  your  boat  properly  the  current  will  do  the  rest. 

When  you  deal  with  mathematics,  as  you  know,  you  are  held 
to  a  definite  law  and  its  operation.  If  you  are  given  a  sum  in 
multiplication,  for  instance,  you  must  multiply  by  the  rule  if 
you  expect  to  work  the  problem. 

You  cannot  work  it  according  to  your  own  sweet  will  and 
accept  such  answers  as  please  your  fancy.  There  is  one  correct 
rule  and  one  correct  answer  and  unless  you  do  it  right,  there  is 
little  achievement  in  trying  to  work  the  problem  at  all. 

That,  in  short,  is  the  law  of  Numerology.  Each  life  has  its 
own  numerical  law — each  year  has  its  own  numerical  influence 
— each  day  has  its  definite  numerical  rule.  But.  just  as  you 
cannot  hope  to  successfully  work  the  hard  problems  in  cube  root 
until  you  have  mastered  the  rules  of  addition  and  subtraction, 
so  you  cannot  master  the  law  of  Numerology  in  one  sitting. 

It  is  not  a  system  of  fortune  telling.  Nor  is  it  a  magic  formula 

by  means  of  which  the 
world  will  place  garlands 
of  success  at  your  feet  with- 
out effort  on  your  part.

Life  i->  eternal  and  death  is  merely  a  change  in  the  rate  of 
vibration  into  another  form,  with  the  Cod  Consciousness  as  the

Everybody  has  witnessed 
the  seeming  mystery  of  seeing 
tin-  spokes  of  a  wheel  vibrate  so 
rapidly  as  to  be  lost  to  sight. 

Common  sense  and  famili- 
arity toll  you  that  those 
spokes  have  not  vanished 
they  have  only  vibrated  so 
rapidly  as  to  vanish  from  the 
sight.  On  one  plane  of  vibra- 
tion they  radiate  placidly  from 
the  huh. 

Speed  up  the  rate  ol"  vibra- 
tion and  they  become  as  one 
spoke. 

Hurry  it  still  further  and  they  vibrate  so  fast  as  to  become 
invisible  to  the  eye. 

NOTHING  cryptic  or  mvsterious  or  magical  about  that,  is 
there? 
Individual    problems   are 
often  seemingly  difficult  to 

adjust,  because  in  the  ordi- 
nary concept  of  life  every- 
thing is  regarded  as  being 
on  a  group  basis. 

We  are  continually  mak- 
ing our  adjustments  accord- 
ing to  this  group  idea.  Mar- 
riage, for  instance,  although 
it  is  an  individual  proposi- 
tion, must  conform  to  the 
family  group  concept.  So 
that  each  fact  in  the  study 
of  Xumerology  must  be  re- 
garded in  its  relation  to  the 
unit. 

Xumerology,  therefore,  is 
only  a  key  by  which  we  may 
regulate  natural  power  and 
use  it  advantageously.  It  is 
such  a  tremendous  power, 
that  one  must  learn  to  work 
with  it  carefully,  else  its  ter- 
rific force  may  prove  to  be  a 
menace  instead  of  a  benefit. 

.Many  who  use  it  uncon- 
sciously, without  recogniz- 
ing it  for  what  it  is,  have 
suffered  from  an  abuse  of  its 
power. 

Work  slowly  and  care- 
fully, in  studying  each  chart 
before  hurrying  on  to  the 
next,  in  order  that  your 
mind  may  be  fully  prepared 
for  each  step. 

There's  a  lot  more  to  it 
than  in  figuring  out  the 
numbers  of  your  name.  For 
if  you  do  not  know  what  to

The  origin  of  Numerology  need  not   trouble  us  beyond  the 
fact  that  we  know  that  Pythagoras  sought  for  new  science-  to 
teach  his  pupils  and  went  into  Egypt  to  seek  an  unknown  law 
that  was  practised  there.     He  found  it  in  use  in  the  temples 

there  and  its  origin  then  was 
lost  in  antiquity.  There 
were  no  written  instruc- 
tions for  pupils  in  those 
days  and  the  only  record  for 
ages  was  that  which  was 
passed  by  word  of  mouth 
from  one  student  to  an- 
other. 

The  science  of  Numer- 
ology, however,  was  taught 
in  China,  in  Persia,  in  India 
and  by  the  Greeks  and  He- 
brews. The  Kaballa  was 
one  of  the  first  written  keys 
to  the  Scriptures  and  has 
taught  the  false  sense  of  the 
limitation  we  put  on  our 
own  powers  and  the  logic 
of  relying  upon  the  law  of 
numbers  and  its  influence. 
The  numbers  of  your 
name,  for  instance,  when 
properly  compiled,  will  give 
you  the  motivating  power 
of  your  life — it  tells  the  in- 
nermost aspirations  of  your 
soul  and  just  what  powers 
have  been  given  you  in  this 
world  to  attain  your  inner 
ambition.  It  tells  you  the

you  will  best  succeed.

you  the  lesson  you  have

you  arc  literally  working

know.  And  knowing  this,  it 
is  your  job  to  pay  attention 
to  that  lesson.  The  lesson 
your  neighbor  must  learn

slip  through  their  lingers  with  the  result  that  she  is  now  Warner  Bros.'  greatest  gift  to  mankind

"The  Exquisite  Dolores" 


That  is  the  name  which 

Howard  Chandler  Christy 

gave  to  Miss  Costello 

By  Iran  St.  Johns 

WY.  were  dining  of  a  Tuesday  eve 
ning  in  the  Cocoanul  C.m\  e  at  the 
Ambassador,  thai  being  the  habit 
of  many  of  the  picture  colonj  . 

Connie  Talmadge  and  Buster  Collier  were 
putting  all  other  dancers  to  shame,  and  \  it 
ginia  \  alii  had  a  bizarre  new  haircut,  and  Bob 
Leonard  and  Gertrude  Olmstead  were  adding 
a  little  more  weight  to  the  rumor  of  their  en- 
gagement. 

At  our  table  were  two  of  the  most  beautiful 
women  in  the  room  —  Mrs.  Ray  Long,  whose 
profile  is  one  of  the  screen's  greatest  losses, 
and  -Mrs.  Howard  Chandler  Christy,  who  in- 
spired her  husband  to  create  the  Christy  girl 
and  become  famous  as  an  artist.  Mr.  Long. 
who  of  course  is  the  great  editor,  and  Mr. 
Christy  were  along  to  protect  their  wives  from 
producers  with  picture  contracts  under  thei. 
arms. 

Mrs.  Christy  is  one  of  those  marvelous  din- 
ner partners  who  can  stop  talking  brilliantly 
in  order  to  listen  intelligently.  You  have  no 
idea  how  rare  women  of  that  kind  are  becoming. 

Said  I  to  her,  '"This  girl  is  lovely.  She's 
charming.  She's — she's — just  what  is  the  one 
right  word  for  her?  There's  a  right  word  for 
every  woman,  isn't  there?" 

"Oh.  decidedly,"  said  Mrs.  Christy. 

"Lovely — charming — Xo,  I've  got  it.  Ex- 
quisite.   Exquisite  is  the  word  for  her." 

"I'd  bet  vou  a  new  hat,"  said  a  voice  in  my 
ear — odd,  th    way  husbands  are  always  listen- 
ing in  on  your  dinner  conversation  with  their 
wives —  'that  I  know  whom  you're  talking  about, 
didn't  hear  you  mention  any  names,  either." 

Now  there  are  a  lot  of  girls  in  Hollywood,  as  you  may  have 
heard  before,  so  the  odds  were  against  him  and  you  might  think 
I'd  have  been  safe  in  taking  him  up.     But  this  fellow  Christy  is 
too  highly  rated  as  a  connoisseur 
of   women   and  beauty   to   make 

that    safe    at    any    point    in    the  , 

game. 

"The  girl  in  Hollywood  to 
whom  the  word  exquisite  belongs 
exactly  and  entirely  is  Dolores 
Costello,"  said  Howard  Chandler 
Christy. 

So  I  was  glad  I  hadn't  wagered 
him  a  new  hat.  It's  hard  enough 
to  get  shoes  for  the  kids  these 
days  without  buying  hats  for  dis- 
tinguished artists. 

"We  were  up  at  Mary  and 
Doug's  the  other  evening  when 
they  ran  Jack  Barrymore's  new 
picture,  'The  Sea  Beast.'"  he 
went  on,  "and  I  was  entranced. 
She's  one  of  the  most  beautiful 
girls  I've  ever  seen.  I  said  then 
that  we  should  christen  her  'The 
Exquisite  Dolores,'  as  a  Prince  of 
Wales  once  titled  Mrs.  Robinson, 
'  The  Exquisite  Perdita.'  " 


"The  Sea  Beast,"  in  theory,  stars  the  handsome  John  Barry- 
more.   In  fact,  it  is  the  beauty  and  ability  of  Dolores  that  relieves 
«  it  of  its  gruesome  quality 


I  swear  I 


This  is  the  young  Dolores.  She  used  to 
double  for  her  dad,  playing  sequences  in 
which  he  was  supposed  to  be  a  little  boy 


Well,  a  man  likes  to  have  his  judgment  backed  by  authority, 
and  all  this  gave  me  courage  to  confess  that  after  ten  years  in 
Hollywood,  I  had  my  first  "screen  crush." 

"Congratulations,"  said  my  wife,  from  across  the  way  — 
really,  you  have  no  privacy  at  a  dinner  part\r  any  more — "I'm 

glad   to  know  you've  such  good 
taste." 

It's  almost  insulting  how  sure 
that  woman  is  of  me! 

"Who  is  this  wonder?"  said 
Ray  Long.  "I  suppose  it  reveals 
an  abysmal  ignorance,  but  I  never 
heard  of  her.  You  mustn't  blame 
me  because  I'm  only  a  poor  editor 
from  New  York  and  I  can't  keep 
up  with  pictures." 
So  I  told  him. 

At  that,  it  didn't  display  any 
ignorance,  for  this  little  Costello 
girl  is  the  very  newest  of  the  new 
finds.  I  first  fell  for  her  when  she 
rescued  me  from  the  boredom  of 
the  James  Cruze-Fannie  Hurst 
potboiler,  "The  Mannequin." 
Only  the  memory  of  "The  Cov- 
ered Wagon"  and  the  fact  that  it 
brought  me  my  original  glimpse  of 
the  exquisite  Dolores  will  ever 
make  me  forgive  Jimmy  for  that 

One.  [  CONTINUED  ON  PAGE   I -'4  1

No  Valentino,  no  Gilbert,  no  sheik  or  fiery  lover,

By

WHAT  sorl  oi  .1  palpitating  story  can  you  weave 
about  .1  man  who  has  been  married  to  the  same 
wife  for  four  and  one  half  years?  And  still  loves 
her. 
Who  has  known  Iut  for  seven  and  one-half  years.  And  Mill 
adores  her. 

Who  rarely  drinks     but  smokes  cigarettes   .    .    .    manfully. 
Whose  fursl  trip  to  New  York  occurred  but  a  year  ago  and 

he's  upward  in  his  twenties. 

Who  is  as  handsome  ;h  Adonis  and  certainly  deserves  to  be

and  beaming  teeth.

pluck  veiled  allu- 
sions about  erotic 
meanderings,  or  to 
m  nufacture  subtle 
innuendoes  about  a 
dimly- curtained 

Just  what  chance 
has  poor  Lloyd 
Hughes,  handicap- 
ped as  he  is,  to 
achieve  any  public- 
ity? 

And  yet,  unfortu- 
nate as  it  may  seem 
to  the  reader  of 
flamboyant  liter- 
ature with  an  appe- 
tite whetted  to  sen- 
sational seasoning, 
it  is  gratifying  to 
note  the  requests 
that  come  in,  fan- 
wise,  for  more  in- 
formation about 
Lloyd  Hughes.  It  is 
more  than  gratify- 
ing. It  is  encourag- 
ing. It  is  stimulating, 
nature. 

It  may  mark  the  beginning  of  the  Great  American 
Renaissance.  It  may  be  the  voice  of  the  backbone 
of  the  nation,  rebelling  at  the  horde  of  foreign  talent 
men  and  women,  being  slued  down  its  throat.  Any- 
way it's  a  mighty  howl  for  the  typical  American  youth, 
after  many  seasons  of  sloe-eyes  and  slow  motions. 

I  AM  cursed  with  a  sentimental  feeling  for  Lloyd. 
Not  the  sentiment  that  Ronald  Colman   ...   or 
Richard  Dix   .    .    .   inspires.     Oh,  no!     But  the 
thrill  you  get  when  you  pick  up  your  School 
Girl  Days  Memory  Book. 

"This  is  the  invitation  to  Undine's  Hal- 
lowe'en party  .   .   .  and  this  favor  is  from 
Myrtle's  picnic  that  summer  day."  Cir- 
cumspect little  tremors. 

Whenever  I  see  Lloyd  a  prudent 
quake  runs  over  me,  snake-like.  You 
see.  Lloyd  was  the  very  first  actor  in 
greasepaint  that  I  sighted  in  Hollywood. 
He  was  playing  with  Colleen  Moore  in 
"The  Huntress."     I,  just  employed  on

Easter  Bonnets  Done  in  Sonnets   I 


By  Margaret  E.  Sangster 


As  worn  by  Colleen  Moore  in  "So  Big" 


T~"\ESP1TE  the  bows  and  furbelows  they  weren't  very  pretty. 

"^^^The  bonnets  that  the  nineties  bought,  and  yet  each  girl  would  wear 

A  gaudier  monstrosity — and  like  it,  mores  the  pity, 

Although  it  veiled  her  pretty  eyes,  and  hid  her  lovely  hair. 

A  ruffle  and  a  willow  plume;  a  ribbon  and  a  flower 

With  wired  velvet  for  a  frame — one  must  be  smart,  you  know!  — 

And  fashion  is  a  playful  jade,  that  laughs  at  us,  one  hour, 

Before  she  suddenly  swings  back  to  styles  of  long  ago. 

Despite  the  bows  and  the  furbelows  they  weren't  very  stunning, 
The  bonnets  that  the   nineties  wore  —  it  is  a  sorry  fact. 
But  there  were  faces  that  could  make  such  gansh  headgear  cunning, 
And  there  were  smiles  that  dazzled  one  with  what  the  bonnet  lacked! 
Oh,  fashion  snickered  in  her  sleeve  and  whirled  the  years  away, 
And  looked  ahead  and  saw  the  hats  that  women  wear  today — 


As  worn  by  Betty  Bronson  in 
"7\[ot  So  Long  Ago"

Norma  Talmadge

T—JER  silken  bonnet,  frilled  with  lace, 
Was  dark  outside,  and  soft  within — 
It  framed  a  winsome,  wistful  face 
Free  of  all  thoughts  of  guile  or  sin! 
An  April  face,  where  sun  and  shine 
Were  followed  by  swift,  gem-like  tears; 
A  wee  forgotten  Valentine, 
Made  fragrant  by  the  phantom  years! 

One  wonders  if  the  young  men  dared. 
To  kiss  the  softly  smiling  lips 
Framed  by  this  bonnet?      If  she  cared 
While  wearing  it,  that  youth-time  slips, 
Forever  from  the  heart,  and  goes, 
As  swiftly  as  June's  fragile  rose! 


As 


'  I   HE  tiny  wreath  upon  her  head 

Was  scarce  a  hat  at  all,  although 
Girls  wore  them,  many  years  ago! 
It  tells  us  of  a  day,  long  dead, 
When  ladies,  crinolined,  were  led 
Through  measured  dances,  graceful,  slow  .  .  . 
When  eyes,  demure,  glanced  out  below 
The  pastel  flowers  .  .  .  When  cheeks  were  red. 

A  little  wreath  of  rosebuds,  twined 
With  pansies  and  with  mignonette — 
It  made  the  stoutest  heart  forget 
The  stately  dance!      It  made  the  mind 
Whirl  in  strange  rhythms,  and  it  made 
Youth  oddly  gallant — and  afraid! 


Nineteen-Twenty-Six  Models

^~^H,  Central  Park  was  far  uptown. 

And  Broadway  was  a  village  street. 
When  ladies  wore  this  sort  of  gown, 
And  looked,  with  glances  coy  and  sweet, 
From  underneath  a  leghorn  swept 
With  shaded  plumes  .  .  .  Their  bonnets  came 
From  Pans!      How  girl  pulses  leapt 
Then,  just  as  now,  to  see  that  name. 

A  hat  from  Pans,  tied  beneath 

The  dimples  of  a  lovely  chin ; 

A  lily  in  a  chiffon  sheath — 

Rose  petals,  and  a  rose  within! 

Ah,  when  New  York  was  young  and  gay,    . 

And  bonnets  came  from  far  aw.iy' 


COSTELLO 


CHE  wears  a  hat  of  straw  and  lace  and  buds  and  crepe  georgette. 
When  she  would  be  a  springtime  song,  a  waltz  tune  softly  played; 
But  when  she  looks,  on  havoc  bent,  through  laces  that  have  strayed 
Across  her  eyes,  beware  of  her!     She  makes  the  heart  forget 
To  beat  in  time,  and  there  is  power  and  passion  and  regret 
In  her  half  hidden  glances!      Do  you  choose  the  pensive  maid  — 
Or  do  you  like  the  siren  best,  or  are  you  half  afraid 
To  place  your  choice  on  either?     Oh,  each  one  is  sweet,  and  yet — 

Perhaps  there  is  a  siren,  too,  half  hidden  in  the  glance 
Beneath  the  flowered,  girlish  hat — and,  oh,  the  luring  lace, 
May  hide  a  wistfulness  unguessed  in  a  half-smiling  face! 
Oh,  both  of  them  spell  mystery  and  magic  and  romance, 
For  any  lady  in  a  hat  that  frames  her  loveliness, 
Is  touched  with  charming  secrets  that  no  man  may  ever  guess!

Hail  and  Farewell     aj<l  RogL  *.  johm 


A  tribute  to  the  memory  of  Barbara  La  Marr  by  one  who  knew  her 


IT  is  very  hard  for  me  t<>  write 
thi>  story. 
uld  like  to  lay  it  among 
the  tlo •••  Iden 

bier  where  she  lies  so  quietly,  the 
great  heart  ami  restless  spirit  still 
at  last 

I  >houUl  like  to  kneel  down  be- 
side   her    the: i  Just 
from  me  to  you.  Bobby 
I  loved  you  .•■'. 

But  it  i!'  m  to  me  that 

there  are  colors  enough  u[H>n  my 
pen.  nor  depths  enough  in  my 
heart,  nor  music  enough  in  my 
poor  words,  to  write  the  last  story 
of  Barbara  La  Marr  as  it  should 
be  written. 

The  fatal  gift  of  beauty!  Helen's 
laid  mighty  Troy  in  ashes  and 
Cleopatra's  cost  Mark  Antony 
the  world.  But  Barbara's  de- 
stroyed only  herself. 

She  was  like  a  great  Jacquemi- 
not rose.  warm,  sensuous,  sweet — 
The  perfumeless  orchid 
could  never  suggest  Barbara,  be- 
cause of  her  sweetness.  And  I 
cannot  think  of  her  as  dead.  Some- 
where she  is  going  on.  the  dross  of 
that  fatal  beauty  burned  away 
and  the  generous  soul  marching  to 
new  music.  No  creator,  rich 
though  he  be,  could  afford  to 
waste  some  of  the  things  he  gave 
to  Barbara.    They  must  continue. 

It  carried  her  to  the  very  pin- 
nacle, that  beauty.  But  some- 
times, knowing  her  as  I  did.  I 
think  it  gave  her  none  of  the  things 
her  heart  really  longed  for,  and 
that  the  saddest  thing  about  Bar- 
bara La  Marr  was  not  her  death 
but  her  swift,  hot.  violent  life, 
that  preyed  vampire-like  upon  her 
beauty  and  allowed  so  much  of  her 
genius  and  womanliness  to  waste. 


WIND-SWEPT,  storm-tossed 
Barbara.  In  her  heart  was 
always  that  dream-haven"  of  a 
home,  and  children,  and  the  one 
man  to  whom  she  could  be  faithful 
companion  and  gentle  comforter  as 
well  as  love's  delight.  But  she 
never  quite  reached  it.  How  could 
she  be  true  to  her  course  when 
continually  life  tempted  her  to 
rich  and  pleasant  isles,  where  she 
might  rule  as  queen — and  the 
moon  of  her  own  loves  changed 
the  tides  and  deceived  her  again 
and  again? 

Life  wore  her  out.    In  her  thirty 
years,  she  lived  centuries.     Perhaps  no  other  woman  except 
Mary  Stuart  ever  packed  so  much  life  into  so  short  a  space  of 
time. 

Perhaps  she  is  glad  to  lie  there  quietly,  her  eyes  closed,  re- 
ceiving the  final  applause  of  tears.  It  was  the  last  thing  she 
said,  "I  am  so  tired.    I  want  to  re^ 

I  shall  never  forget  the  first  time  I  ever  saw  her. 

Twelve  years  ago— thirteen,  maybe.     I've  forgotten.    I  was 


SOMEWHERE,  back  of  the  sunset, 
W.  here  loveliness  never  dies — 
She  dwells  in  a  land  of  glory, 
\\  ith  dreams  in  her  lifted  eyes. 

And  laughter  lives  all  about  her, 
.And  music  sways  on  the  air; 

She  is  far  from  all  thought  of  sadness, 
Of  passion,  and  doubt,  and  care! 


The  flowers  of  vanished  April, 
The  lost  gold  of  summer's  mirth, 

Are  wrapped,  like  a  cloak,  about  her, 
WTio  hurried,  too  soon,  from  earth. 


And  we  who  have  known  her  splendor — 
A  beauty  that  brought  swift  tears; 

Will  cherish  her  vision,  always, 
To  brighten  the  drifting  years!

what  I  have  kn<  that  the 

fa-  'hat  poke  bonnet 

the  most  beautiful  I  had  t 
or  ever  would 

She  was  always  beautiful,  and 
in  the  end  she  came,  of  course,  to 
have  every  aid  and  setting  for 
beauty  that  money  could  buy  and 
art  devise.  For  all  that,  I  think 
she  was  most  beautiful  as  a  girl,  in 
her  cheap,  common,   clot: 

SHE  was  shy,  frightened,  ner- 
vous. She  hadn't  wanted  to  go 
away  with  those  people.  But 
they  must  have  seen,  even  then, 
that  such  a  face  was  worth  a  for- 
tune. We  sat  down  in  a  corner, 
and  at  first  she  could  not  talk. 
believed  their  de-signs  had 
been  evil.  Then  we  began  to  gig- 
gle over  something  or  other — she- 
was  only  fifteen,  and  I  was  about 
seventeen,  I  suppose.  And  then 
we  became  friends. 

We  were  friends  from  that  mo- 
ment until  I  got  a  telegram  from 
her  only  a  few  days  ago  signed. 
;  forever,  Barbara."    It  will 
have  to  be  forever  now.  Bobby. 

Not  long  after  that  I  stood  in  a 
Los  Angeles  courtroom  and  heard 
the  judge  speak  that  famous  line. 
""  You  are  too  beautiful  to  live  in  a 
big  city."' 

Shall  I  tell  you  what  Barbara 
did?    I  have  never  told  it.    But  it 
was  so  like  her.     She  giggled.     I 
think  she  thought  he  was  kidding 
her.     But  outside  in  the  marble 
corridor,  she  burst  into  tears  on 
my  shoulder.     Because  that  sen- 
tence meant  that  she  had  to  go 
back  to  Imperial  Valley — back  to 
the  country-.    And  Barbara  loved 
the  pavements,  and  the  lights,  and 
the  crowds,  always. 
Back  she  went.    But  you  cannot  shut  a  face  like  that  away 
from  life.    There  was  a  big,  bronzed  Arizona  rancher,  who  used 
to  ride  by  the  little  ranch  where  she  lived  with  her  father  and 
mother.     She  rather  liked  him.     I  expect  she  smiled  at  him. 
Barbara  could  no  more  help  smiling  at  men  than  the  tides  can 
help  following  the  moon.    And  her  smile  was  a  candle  for  moths. 
Anyway,  he  picked  her  up  one  day  on  his  horse  and  rode  away 
with  her.  cry  romantic.  [  costlvcxd  on  page  :

BEVERLY  HILLS, 
Cal.: 
The  event  of  the 
month  was  Marion 
Davies'  costume  ball.  It  far 
overshadowed  all  recent  film 
achievements  in  point  of  in- 
terest, being  as  lavish  as 
"Ben  Hur"  and  as  sightly 
as  any  Ziegfeld  art  collec-

Elinor  Glyn  was  there, 
and  everybody  who  has 'IT, 
say  nothing  of  those  who 
pursue  IT. 

Entering  in  my  Erte  crea- 
tion of  a  monk's  robe  over 
white  golf  pants  I  beheld  a 
dimpled  knee  projecting  out 
from  behind  a  pillar  and  in- 
stantly recognized  Ann  Pen- 
nington. Ann  should  wear 
her  mask  on  her  knees  if  she 
wants  to  be  disguised.  Her 
costume  was  the  same  as 
she  wears  on  the  stage. 

"Is  there  anything  to 
drink?  "  I  queried  politely, 
having  in  mind  a  lemonade. 
"  You  would  know," 
shouted  John  Gilbert  with 
an  implication  I  thought  dis- 
respectful toward  my  holy 
habit. 

John  was  pinked  out  as 
"Red"  Grange.  There  was 
a  whole  team  of  "Red" 
Granges. 

"We  were  all  coming  in 
together,"  complained  King 
Vidor,  "but  Jack  had  to  spoil  it  by  busting  in  an  hour  ahead." 

That  was  in  character,  I  reminded  him,  Red  being  always  the 
first  across  the  line. 

MARION  intervened  with  the  complaint  that  no  one  would 
dance  with  her  because  her  poke  bonnet  held  them  all  at  a 
distance.  This  declaration  brought  the  whole  team  into  play. 
Without  any  help  from  Elinor  I  would  say  that  those  who 
distinctly  were  IT  at  the  party  were:  The  hostess,  attired  in  a 
Louis  XVI  costume,  which  was  fetching  for  all  the  wearer's  dec- 
laration against  the  bonnet;  Anita  Stewart  wearing  pearls  and 
not  too  many;  Florence  Vidor  as  a  Venetian  enchantress; 
Claire  Windsor  as  an  Eton  schoolboy;  Lilyan  Tashman  in  a 
backless  ballet  costume  without  too  much  skirt;  Mrs.  Charlie 
Chaplin  as  the  Empress  Josephine;  Ann  Pennington  as  Ann 
Pennington;  and  Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns  as  a  bride. 

OUR  Adela  announced  that  she  had  always  wanted  to  be  a 
bride  but  had  never  been  one,  so  decided  to  take  this  occa- 
sion; whereupon  Ivan,  her  husband,  grew  fiery,  being  dressed 
as  a  bull-tighter  against  his  will  and  wanting  to  do  something 
to  belie  his  pretty  pink  shirt.  "'What  1  mean,"  soothed  Adela. 
"is  that  I  got  married  in  a  suit,  and  that's  not  being  a  bride." 

After  all  clothes  do  make  you  what  you  are,  I  observed 
monkishly,  with  regard  for  my  Franciscan  golf  outfit. 

At  this  stormy  moment  the  strife  of  the  Si.  Johns  was  ended 
by  the  appearance  of  Charlie  Chaplin,  as  Napoleon,  doing  a 
Charleston.  It  was  good,  but  matched  against  Ann  Penning- 
ton's it  was  just  another  Waterloo.

Ml  in  all,  the  fete  was  as 
opulent  as  anything  that's 
been  given  at  Buckingham. 
and  a  lot  more  fun,  as  the 
Prince  of  Wales  would  say. 

NOBILITY  from 
abroad,  as  well  as  the 
royal  family  from  Pickfair 
were  merged  in  the  democ- 
racy of  the  Charleston  with 
Marion's  friends  from  the 
studio — and  they  include 
the  whole  Metro-Goldwvn 
lot. 

The  haughty  lady  of  lit- 
erature who  said  she  didn't 
relish  the  idea  of  Heaven 
because  it  sounded  so  dread- 
fully democratic  might  not 
have  enjoyed  Marion's  fete. 
And.  then  again,  it  might 
have  converted  her  to  the 
idea  of  Heaven.  Person- 
ally, being  a  saintly  charac- 
ter, I  hope  Heaven  is  staged 
as  well. 

THE  Yalentinos  having 
secured  their  divorce,  the 
front  pages  are  now  cleared 
for  another  world  war.  Both 
said  they  were  glad,  and 
I'm  sure  all  the  rest  of  us 
are  too,  after  reading  the 
dispute  as  to  babies  vs.  dog- 
gies. By  the  way,  which

Rodolpho  has  more  feuds 
than  a  Balkan  state.  In 
Italy  they  tried  to  howl  his  picture  off  the  screen.  In  Paris  a 
mythical  gent  called  Liederkrantz,  or  some  such  aromatic 
name,  challenged  him  to  a  duel.  And  in  Connecticut  Xatacha 
refused  flat-footed  to  appear  in  a  theater  where  his  latest  opera 
was  being  unwrapped. 

As  if  this  were  not  enough  newspaper  space  for  one  man.  the 
martial  hero  comes  home,  according  to  press  dispatches,  with  a 
peignor  made  of  a  paisley  shawl  and  lined  with  white  fur. 
Maybe  it's  the  Erte  creation  Lillian  Gish  refused  to  wear. 
After  all,  Lincoln  wore  a  shawl,  so  why  not  Rudie? 

A  STRING  of  barber  shops  is  being  operated  in  Hollywood 
by    a   company    including   Lew   Cody,  Ronald  Colman, 
George  K.  Arthur,  Jackie  Coogan  and  Renee  Adoree. 

Boyish  bobs  will  be  in  greater  demand  than  ever  with  Messrs. 
Colman  and  Cody  sponsoring  the  shears.

THE  British  Federation  of  Labor  is  starting  a  campaign 
against  American  films. 
"It  is  intolerable."  snorts  one,  "that  the  British  people 
should  he  soaked  from  childhood  up  in  the  manners,  slang  and 
false  ideas  of  beauty,  taste  and  success  of  the  California  city." 
Determined  to  deal  Hollywood  a  death-blow  they  may  go  so 
far  as  to  recall  Elinor  Glyn — British  arbiter  of  manners,  beauty 
and  taste.      Then  how  will  we  know  whether  we  have  IT?

Judging  by  the  letters  I 
receive  from  the  British 
fans  1  gather  that  they  feel 
very  much  like  the  Ameri- 
can in  respect  to  entertain- 
ment: they  patronize  what 
they  like  regardless  of  home 
ties. 

Ever  and  anon  a  bluster- 
ing American  patriot,  whose

in  to  plead  for  the  exclusive 
patronage  of  American

sentiment  we  should  prefer 
Rupert  Hughes  to  Thomas 
Hardy.  Eva  Tanguay  to 
Galli  Curci  and  Paul  Swan  to  the  late  Leonardo  da  Vinci. 

PEGGY  HOPKINS  JOYCE  announced  at  the  preview  of 
"The  Skyrocket"  aboard  the  Leviathan  that  medals  would 
be  given  to  listcners-in  who  picked  up  the  program  in  England. 
More  vocal  power  to  the  silent  drama! 

Producers  are  on  the  vie  to  find  novel  situations  in  which  to 
give  previews.  "The  Skyrocket''  was  the  second  to  be  shown 
on  a  boat.  The  Warner  Brothers  tried  to  show  one  in  an  air- 
plane, but  the  reviewers  declared  it  was  nerve-wrecking  enough 
to  view  one  of  the  "classics"  on  earth. 

So  far  as  this  authority  is  concerned  I  feel  most  classics  could 
be  shown  on  Mars  without  great  local  loss.  However,  as  an  aid 
to  producers  I  suggest  the  following  settings  for  forthcoming 
features: 

"Old  Ironsides"  in  the  hull  of  the  original  frigate,  with  re- 
viewers dressed  in  diving  suits,  "The  Rough  Riders"  on  horse- 
back. "Siberia"  in  the  actual  locale,  and  "The  Old  Soak'' 
three  miles  out.  or  most  anywhere  in  New  York  (late  of  the 
U.  S.  A.). 

POLA  NEGRI  gets  in  and  out  of  engagements  with  the  rapid- 
ity of  Houdini  from  the  handcuffs. 

Her  secretary  recently  accused  a  young  sheik  of  spreading  the 
report  he  was  engaged  to  Pola. 

"Not  I,"  retorted  the  young  man.  "If  I  were  going  out  for 
publicity  I'd  be  original." 

P OLA'S  latest  picture  is  titled  "Because  I  Love  You,"  to 
which  we  add,  "But  Who?" — thus  making  it  a  song.

MOVIE  actresses  striw 
to    be   society   ladies, 
and  society  ladies  seek  to  be 
movie  actresses,  with  both 
succeeding  quite  commend- 
ably.    Nowhere  is  a  lady  quite  so  much  a  lady  as  in  Hollywood. 
In  remarking  one  of  these.  Michael  Arlen  said,  "She  acts  a-  a 
lady  should  —and  only  as  a  film  actress  could." 

THE  reputation  that  Hollywood  has  so  strenuously  built  up 
is  being  foully  threatened.  Will  Hays  started  the  propaganda 
about  Hollywood  being  just  a  regular  town  with  as  many  happv 
homes  as  any  other.  Now  Michael  Arlen.  whom  we  tried  our 
best  to  entertain,  goes  back  to  England  and  declares  that  Holly- 
wood is  not  a  modern  Babylon  and  that  there  are  no  orgies  here. 
It's  just  such  reports  as  these  that  are  driving  the  tourists 
to  Florida.  If  something  isn't  done  to  protect  the  bad  reputa- 
tion of  Hollywood,  real  estate  values  will  be  shaken  worse  than 
by  earthquakes. 

PARAPHRASING  Mr.  Wilde:  There's  only  one  thing  worse 
than  a  bad  reputation,  and  that's  a  good  one. 

A  N  aphrodite  of  notorious  love  affairs  entered  the  Mont-

"It's  funny,"  mused  .Mice  Terry.  "If  a  respectable  mother 
of  six  children  walked  in,  no  one  would  give  her  a  glance." 

I  disagree.  Hollywood  is  not  so  hard-hearted.  We'd  feel 
sorry  for  her. 

LADIES  of  Hollywood  are  all  of  a   pattern.     They  dress 
alike,  bob  alike  and  dance  alike.     "Every  woman  is   just 
another  Nash,"  sighs  Ernst  Lubitsch  dutchily.

THEY  were  born  to  be  lovers;  and  they  were  not  even 
Eriends.  Fate  had  put  them  on  opposite  ends  of  the 
teeter  totter  of  east e.  A  teeter  totter  swings  up  and  down 
Positions  of  the  riders  may  be  reversed — up,  down  — 
down,  up.  But  as  long  as  they  ride,  they  will  never  come 
together  on  a  common  level  of  secure  stability. 

The  only  way  it  can  be  done  is  to  walk  carefully,  accurately, 
andsimultan  ously  towards  the  middle  of  the  board.  There  the 
riders  can  stand,  clasping  hands,  and  move  the  board  at  will. 
Dp,  down — down,  up.  The  freed  ends  swing  skyward,  drop 
earthward.  It  does  not  matter  to  the  two  in  the  middle  of  the 
board.     They  arc  balanced,  steady.     And  they  are  together. 

Roger's  home  was  on  the  lower  stretches  of  Fifth  Avenue. 
Just  where  it  runs  off,  like  the  black  sheep  of  a  respectable 
family,  into  the  medley  of  small  criss-crossing  streets  that  have 
become  infested  with  green  grocer's  stores,  and  the  ever  increas- 
ing population  of  Little  Italy.  That  was  where  Gianina  lived. 
There  was  no  topographical  line  of  demarcation  between  the 
Avenue  and  the  Street.  Yet  they  were  farther  apart  than  the 
poles  of  the  North  and  South. 

Roger  Lafayette  Trenton  had  been  most  correctly  brought 
up.  His  early  training  was  exactly  what  might  have  been  ex- 
pected of  a  son  of  a  family  for  which  a  town,  a  battle,  and 
goodness  knows  how-  many  counties,  had  been  named. 

Gianina  was  the  daughter  of  an  Italian  green  grocer  on 
Fourth  Street.  Their  manner  of  meeting  was  spectacular  and 
memorable. 

Roger  had  found  a  puppy  who  had  strayed  on  to  the  forbid- 
den concourse  of  the  Avenue,  a  bruised  and  battered  derelict  of 
dogdom.  He  realized  suddenly  that  one  of  his  chief  underlying 
wants  had  been  a  dog.  A  real  dog.  Not  a  yippy  one  with 
watery  eyes,  such  as  his  mother's  friends  carried  in  the  crooks 
of.their  arms,  but  a  friendly  dog,  who  would  wag  his  tail  when 
spoken  to,  and  could  be  taught  to  lie  down  and  roll  over. 


Very  much  aloof 

on  the  stern  sat 

Gina  Malotte 


The  puppy  was  certainly  of  no  pedigreed  line.  In  fact,  there 
seemed  no  specifications  of  any  kind  concerning  him.  He  was 
small,  yellowish,  short-haired  and  large  eared.  His  tail  was  as 
nature  had  arranged  it.  and  there  was  a  black  spot  that  smudged 
one  eye.  suggesting  the  results  of  a  fistic  encounter.  He  was 
just  an  optimistic,  flea-inhabited  pup,  with  an  eager  licking 
tongue  and  feet  many  si/.es  too  large  for  the  rest  of  him.  But 
Roger  thought  he  was  wonderful. 

"Bruiser!  Your  name  is  Bruiser!"  Roger  told  him  ecstati- 
cally. The  puppy  wagged  himself  frantically,  and  proclaimed 
himself  adopted. 

Bruiser,  however,  was  a  son  of  the  people.  He  loved  alley 
cats  and  garbage  cans.  Thus  it  was  one  warm  day  in  spring  he 
escaped  from  his  leash,  with  Roger  running  after  him.  and  loped 
happily  down  into  Fourth  Street,  a  Street  of  -Many  Smells. 

HE  was  seized  upon  by  a  black-eyed  Italian  boy  and  dragged 
into  a  circle  of  young  hoodlums  bent  on  careless,  brutal  fun. 
But  the  rowdyism  was  checked  by  the  arrival  of  a  panting,  gray- 
eyed  boy  in  a  very  correct  suit,  who  held  a  leash  in  his  hand. 

"Put  that  dog  down!"  he  said,  breathing  hard  from  the 
unaccustomed  exertion  of  running.     "  He's  mine!" 

The  puppy  made  frantic,  helpless  efforts  to  release  himself. 
His  cries  were  almost  unendurably  human. 

"Oh,  he's  yours,  is  he?"  the  boy  sneered.  "Well,  you  can 
have  him  if  you  can  take  him!" 

Roger  found  himself  surrounded  by  a  group  of  black-eyed, 
scowling  faces.  He  wanted  to  back  away.  But  they  were  all 
around  him.  There  seemed  to  be  no  words  spoken.  He  knew 
that  they  were  going  to  rush  him.  He  knew  that  he  would  have 
to  fight.  His  face  went  white  and  tingly,  and  his  breath  came  in 
short  gasps.  Somehow  he  got  his  back  against  a  wall.  Then 
like  a  whirlwind,  they  were  upon  him.  He  still  held  the  leash  in 
his  hand.    He  struck  out  blindly  with  it. 


Through  the  thick  smoke,  Gianina,  scorched  and  disheveled,  fought  her  way. 


Suddenly  he  knew  that  he  had  an  ally.  From  nowhere  at  all, 
a  girl  came  charging,  her  long  black  hair  swinging,  her  black 
eyes  savage  and  battle-lustful. 

"You  dirty  bums!"  she  shrilled  at  them.  "You  cowards,  you 
big  cheeses!  Picking  on  one!  Hurting  a  little  dog!  You  beat  it 
lor  home,  Pepino,  before  I  knock  your  front  teeth  through  your 
head!"      She  sent    lYpino  whirling  into  the  gutter. 

Bruiser,  released,  scuttled  for  the  Avenue,  yelping  shrilly. 
The  girl  made  a  jump  and  landed  on  another  boy's  back,  where 
she  clung,  biting  and  scratching  like  a  tiger  cat.  She  felled  him 
by  (he  surprise  of  her  attack,  gave  him  a  kick  in  the  ribs  for 
good  measure,  and  jumped  another  assailant,  just  as  he  was 
throwing  himself  on  Roger's  weakened  front. 

They  all  went  down  together  in  a  screaming  melee  of  legs  and 
teeth  and  Hailing  arms.     Green  grocers  now  came  out.  leisurely 


picked  off  a  combatant  here  and  there,  shook  them  soundly. 
swore  at  them  in  Italian  and  sent  them  scurrying. 

The  two  finally  stood  facing  each  other,  still  ferocious,  still 
panting.  Roger  really  noticed  the  girl  for  the  first  time.  She 
had  the  biggest,  blackest  eyes  he  had  ever  seen.  He  thought 
her  quite  the  most  beautiful  girl  in  the  world. 

"1  say — "  he  said  awkwardly  and  admiringly,  "you  surely 
can  fight  !" 

"You  ain't  no  slouch  yourself."  she  answered  graciously. 
Then  her  lingers  went  out  cautiously  to  the  bulging  pouch 
beneath  his  blackened  eye. 

"Gee,  they  bloodied  you  some,  didn't  they?" 

Roger  assumed  a  masculine  nonchalance. 

"  It  doesn't  matter — not  at  all.  1  fancy  we  gave  them  some- 
thing to  think  about — don't  vou?" 


\6 


'Roger,"  she  cried  out  to  him,  "if  this  is  death,  let  us  die  together!" 


She  nodded,  suddenly  made  shy  by  the  strangeness  of  his 
manner  of  speech.  She  rather  liked  it.  But  she  knew  instantly 
that  he  was  of  The  Avenue.  She  regarded  him  with  a  distinct 
withdrawal.     She  admired  him.    But  he  was  not  of  her  world. 

They  were  not  to  meet  again  until  some  eight  years  later.  In 
those  eight  years  Roger  had  "done"  Europe  with  a  tutor,  and 
had,  by  guidance  of  precept  and  example,  become  a  thorough- 
going snob.  Recalled  to  America  by  the  death  of  his  mother, 
there  was  a  lengthy  period  of  time  spent  at  the  Milready 
Preparatory  School  in  company  with  other  bored  young  gentle- 
men of  his  "set." 

When  he  was  eighteen,  however,  he  found  himself  suddenly 
restless  and  longing  for  physical  and  mental  activity. 

He  could  be  very  blunt  at  times,  despite  all  the  time  and 
money  that  had  gone  into  shellacking  him  with  polite  restraint. 


Ik-  sought  his  father  in  his  study  one  evening,  and  announced 
his  desire  and  intention  briefly,  conclusively. 

"Father,  I'm  rather  sick  of  being  a  jellyfish.  If  it's  all  the 
same  to  you,  I'd  like  to  go  to  work. " 

Burke  Trenton  looked  at  his  son  curiously.  It  struck  Roger 
that  his  father  was  looking  very  bad  indeed.  There  was  some- 
thing about  his  eyes — what  was  it?  He  failed  to  place  that  look 
until  he  caught  Bruiser  with  an  evil-smelling  bone  which  he  had 
dragged  into  the  hall.  Bruiser  expected  to  be  punished.  Ib- 
expected  it  at  any  instant.  His  eyes  were  frightened,  furtive, 
apologetic — the  eyes  of  a  thief.  Roger  rebuked  himself  sharply 
for  the  thought.     Absurd — of  course. 

"Well,''  said  Burke  Trenton  slowly,  "that  isn't  such  a  bad 
idea.  There  might  come  a  time  when  business  training  might 
be  an  asset.     If  you  really  want  to        [  coxtinced  on  pacj

paint  his  face  and  be  a  play  actor.  His  name  was  Ernest 
Carlton  Brimmer  then  and  he  lived  up  to  it.  Now  he's 
Richard  Dix 


Really  Mildred  Davis  Lloyd  doesn't  need  to  look  up  at 
Red  Grange,  the  famous  football  star,  in  that  respectful, 
admiring  manner.  Red  says  he's  going  to  make  a 
million  this  year  and  retire.  But  Mildred's  own  Harold 
makes  a  million  a  year  every  year 


MORE   movie   marriages!       Cupid's    arms 
must  be  wearied  from  tolling  the  belfry 
bells  for  the  film  folks. 

There  were  Alma  Rubens  and  Ricardo  Cor- 
tez,  who  gathered  into  their  car  several  intimate 
friends  and  sped  away  to  Riverside  to  be  united 
in  the  holy  bonds  of  matrimony.  It's  Alma's 
third  dip  into  the  matrimonial  sea  and  Ric's 
first.  But  that  really  isn't  news,  for  friends  of 
the  two  have  been  expecting  it  any  day  .  .  . 
they're  supremely  happy — both  the  newly- 
weds  and  their  friends. 

And  Elinor  Fair,  who  was  a  Wampas  Baby 
Star  of  some  years  ago  and  sank  into  oblivion, 
to  be  swept  to  the  crest  of  the  wave  when  she 
was  chosen  for  the  feminine  lead  in  DeMille's 
"The  Volga  Boatman,"  decided  that  she 
couldn't  live  without  William  Boyd.  And  Bill, 
having  the  same  thing  in  mind  since  he  first 
met  Elinor  when  they  were  introduced  as  male 
and  female  leads,  respectively,  of  "The  Volga 
Boatman,"  persuaded  her  to  fly  to  Santa  Ana, 
where  they  became  Mr.  and  Mrs.  William 
Boyd. 

THERE'S  Roy  D'Arcy,  too,  of  the  tooth- 
paste smirk  in  "The  Merry  Widow,"  who 
was  married  to  a  beautiful  Kentucky  society 
matron— Mrs.  Laura  Rhinock  Duffy.  It 
savors  of  romance — their  meeting.  Mrs. 
Duffy  became  intrigued  by  D'Arcy's  portrayal 
of  the  Crown  Prim  <  in  the  picture  and  when  her 
lather  went  to  California,  she  accompanied 
him,  and  there  met  the  llesh-and  blood  coun- 
terpart of  Crown  Prince  Mirko.  Followed  the 
wedding  march. 

Louise  Glaum,  also,  has  left  the  path  of 
single  blessedness  which  she  lias  been  treading 
since  101S  when  she  divorced  Harry  Edwards, 


a  director,  to  become  the  mate  of  another 
director — Zachary  Harris  of  Xew  York.  But 
before  she  became  Mrs.  Harris — about  two 
weeks  before — she  filed  a  suit  against  the  estate 
of  the  late  Thomas  H.  Ince  to  gain  8405,000 
which  she  claims  is  due  her  because  of  a  breach 
of  contract.  She  was  formerly  a  star  under  the 
Ince  banner,  you  know. 

And  then  a  secret  wedding  that  has  leaked 
out.  Rosemary  Theby,  one  of  the  best  known 
vamps  ever  on  the  screen,  married  Harry 
Myers — Harry  who  delighted  our  hearts  in 
"A  Connecticut  Yankee  at  King  Arthur's 
Court."  They  were  married  in  San  Francisco 
a  year  and  a  half  ago.  Rosemary  had  been 
engaged  to  Harry  Myers  before  he  married  the 
woman  who  is  now  his  ex-wife. 

COME  admiring  friends  sent  a  tel- 
^egram  of  congratulation  to  Do- 
lores Costello  after  seeing  her  per- 
formance in  "The  Sea  Beast."  The 
wire  read: 

"We  think  you  are  one  of  the  great- 
est artists  the  screen  has  ever  seen." 

To  which  the  exquisite  Dolores  re- 
sponded: 

"So's  my  old  man." 

FEODOR  CHALIAPIN,  the  Russian  singer, 
has  expressed  a  desire  to  play  in  a  picture 
with  l'ola  Negri.  He  lias  been  visiting  Holly- 
wood, seeing,  hearing  and  talking  movies  and 
watching  them  being  made. 

Chaliapin  and  Fola  have  known  each  other 
lor  a  good  many  years.  They  first  met  at  a 
court  function  of  the  late  Czar  of  Russia.  The 
occasion   was  a  memorable  one  inasmuch  as 


Chaliapin  was  jailed  for  singing  the  song  of  the 
Red  revolutionists. 

He  may  appear  with  Pola  in  her  next  picture.

Famous  director  to  beautiful  star:

THERE  isa  strong  report  circulating  through 
Paris  that  when  Pearl  White  goes  to  Cairo 
to  make  a  scries  of  desert  films,  she  will  lie 
backed  by  a  Prince  of  Egypt,  who  will  also 
appear  in  the  pictures  with  her. 

The  Prince,  son, of  the  Khedive  of  Egypt,  be- 
lieves he  can  outdo  Valentino  as  a  screen 
sheik,  people  say.  Besides  investing  some  of  the 
royal  exchequer  to  finance  Miss  White,  he  will 
play  the  leading  masculine  role  ^nposite  her. 
lie  seems  to  feel  that  the  public  is  led  up  with 
the  pseudo  sheiks  that  the  films  have  featured 
so  loiv,'.  Now  he  is  going  to  show  them  what  a 
real  sheik  looks  and  acts  like. 

Just  how  the  Prince's  father,  the  Khedive, 
will  take  his  son's  entry  into  motion  pictures  is 
causing  much  wonderment  in  Paris.

As  if  it  weren't  enough  that  they  arc  being  starred  by 
Cecil  De  Mille,  Elinor  Fair  and  William  Boyd  had  to  up 
and  get  married.  And  to  each  other,  too.  They  met 
while  playing  '"The  Volga  Boatmen."  An  elopement  to 
Santa  Ana  did  the  rest

she   divorced  Webster  Campbell,  a  director. 

anil  married  Walter  Morosco  who  had  given 
up  a  stage  career  to  manufacture  boilers. 

Well,  Walter's  starting  to  direct  now. 
Warner  Brothers  have  engaged  him  to  direcl 
Irene  Rich's  ne\t  picture.  Friends  say  Co-

T_roi.I.YW'OOD  and  Broadway  arc  wonder 
*■  ■*-ing  what  is  to  become  of  the  two  children 
that  Barbara  La  Marr  adopted.  The  boy. 
[van,  aged  5,  is  now  at  the  home  of  ZaSu  Pitts 
and  her  husband,  Tom  Gallery.  The  girl, 
aged  7,  is  at  an  expensive  private  school  in 
Hollywood. 

ZaSu  took  the  little  boy  to  her  home  at  the 
beginning  of  Barbara's  illness.  Whether  or  not 
she  intends  to  bring  him  up  with  her  own  young 
daughter  remains  to  be  seen.  The  future  of  the 
little  girl  depends  upon  the  generosity  of  Holly- 
wood and  possible  help  from  Barbara's  father, 
W'.  W.  Watson.  Miss  La  Marr's  estate 
amounted  to  less  than  ten  thousand  dollars. 


rT'IIK  foreign  invasion  of  stars  and  directors 
*■  continues.  Among  the  latesl  is  "the 
blond  Valentino"  of  Germany,  whom  Carl 
Lacmmlc  brought  home  with  him.  His  name 
is  Andre  Mattoni 

He  is  a  son  of  an  Italian  father  and  an  Aus- 
trian mother.  I  don't  know  what  this  makes 
Andre,  but  German  61m  fans  have  claimed  him 
for  their  own. 

Mr.  Laemmle  also  brought  over  E.  A.  Du- 
pont,  UFA'S  most  popular  director,  who  made 
the  film,  "Variety,"  which  is  causing  a  sensa- 
tion in  Europe.  It  will  be  released  in  this 
country  under  the  title  of  "Vaudeville." 

And   ere  long  arrives  Lya   de   Putti,    an 
other  Hungarian  rhapsody,  to  become  a  Para 
mount  star.     She  made  a  great  impression  on 
visiting  American  producers  in  Dupont's  pi< 
aire.  "Variety,"  which  stars  Emil  Jannings. 

Now  we  have  Vilma  Hanky  of  Budapest, 
Pola  Negri  of  Poland.  Greta  Garbo  of  Norway 
and  Mile,  de  Putti.  all  top-notchcrs.  from 
foreign  lands. 

CATTY  ARBUCKLE  is  to  have  a  chance  to 
■*-  earn  some  money  at  last.    Metro-Gold wyn 

have  engaged  him  to  direct  a  new  picture 
called  "Over  Night,"  which  will  feature  Con- 
rad Nagel. 

However,  the  film  company  is  playing  safe 
Tatty's  name  will  not  appear  on  the  credit  list 
For  directorial  purposes  he  has  taken  the  name 
of  William  Goodrich. 

Thus  all  those  towns  which  are  still  barring 
Arbuckle  pictures  will  have  no  kick  coming 
against  showing  the  work  of  Mr.  Goodrich. 

Fatty  has  given  up  all  hope  of  returning  to 
the  screen  as  an  actor,  but  he  is  an  excellent 
director  of  comedy.

"Marcheta,"  the  ballad  thai  ran  a  close  second 
to  "Yes,  We  Have  No  Bananas"  for  wave

T_JT.XRY  KING,  than  whom  there  i-  no 
*■  -^more  modest  director  extant,  told  us  al  out 
Ronald  Column's  entry  into  motion  pictures. 

Mr.  King,  you  recall,  directed  '"The  White 
Sister."  in  which  we  first  saw  Ronald. 

Mr.  King  was  prowling  around  Italian 
theaters  and  Jewish  theaters  and  vaudeville, 
looking  for  a  man  to  play  opposite  Lillian  Gish

Being  particularly  good  at  discovering  Latin  screen

First  National  director  and  June's  husband 


Disease  couldn't  lick  Theodore  Roberts.  In  1923  he 
was  taken  ill.  His  life  hung  in  the  balance.  Now  he's 
coming  back,  not  quite  strong,  but  well  enough  to 
sit  in  his  wheel  chair  and  good  enough  to  be  starred  in 
"The  Cat's  Pajamas"' 


in  this  picture.  He  saw  Colman  at  the  Empire 
Theater  in  "LaTendresse."  Ronald,  it  seems, 
had  come  over  from  England  and  had  knocked 
vainly  at  all  the  studio  gates  for  months.  So 
when  a  director,  named  King,  sent  for  him,  he 
thought  it  was  a  joke. 

The  first  thing  Mr.  King  said  to  Ronald  was, 
"  Let  me  part  your  hair."  He  took  a  comb  and 
proceeded  to  regulate  the  mop  of  raven  locks. 
Next  he  took  a  pencil  and  drew  a  mustache  on 
Ronald's  upper  lip.  "Seems  silly,  Mr.  Col- 
man," Mr.  King  almost  apologized,  "but  a 
mustache  is  just  what  you  need.    Grow  one." 

P.  S.     He  did  and  he  got  the  job. 

XTO,  gentle  reader,  Norma  Talmadge  and 
-L^  Tom  Meighan  will  not  make  a  picture  to- 
gether. 

When  the  script  for  "My  Woman"  was  sub- 
mil  ted  to  Mr.  Meighan,  he  found  to  his  dis- 
may, so  they  say,  that  Norma's  part  was  fat 
and  promising,  while  his — well,  he's  willing  to 
CO  star  with  Miss  Talmadge  but  not  to  support 
her,  cinematically  speaking. 

So  it's  all  off  and  the  two  stars  are  looking  for 
two  new  stories. 

JOHN  GILBERT  and  King  Yidor  came  to 
J  New  York  to  attend  the  premiere  of  "La 
Boheme,"  and  Eleanor  Boardman  trailed  along 
soon  after,  Eleanor  hints  that  she  may  mam  in 
the  spring,  but  refuses  to  divulge  the  name  of 
her  fiance.  I  >ivulging  being  our  favorite  indoor 
snort,  we'll  let  you  in  on  the  secret.  King 
Vidor's  the  man  who  has  won  the  heart  and 
hand  of  this  independent,  outspoken  young 
person.  They  haven't  announced  their  en- 
gagement, but  Hollywood  knows  it  to  be  as 
much  a  fact  as  the  also  unannounced  engage- 
ment of  Florence  Yidor  and  George  Fitz- 
maurice. 

Now,  where  does  that  leave  John  Gilbert? 
Well,  he's  paying  a  lot  of  attention  to  his  baby 
lately,  with  Leatrice  hovering  in  the  back- 


ground. Then  at  times  he  is  attentive  to 
Norma  Shearer. 

T—T -VYING  seen  Marshall  Neilan's  new  pic- 
■*■  -Hure,  "The  Great  Love,"  the  story  of  an 
elephant,  in  the  projection  room,  one  of  the 
studio  officials  said  to  him,  "But,  Mickey, 
there's  some  very  shocking  stuff  in  there.  You 
know  you  can't  do  that.  The  censors  are  sure 
to  cut  it." 

"Sure,"  said  Mickey.  "That's  why  I  put  it  in 
there.  They'll  have  a  good  time  cutting  that 
out  and  feel  like  they  earned  their  money,  and 
then  they'll  leave  the  rest  of  my  picture  alone. 
They've  got  to  cut  something.  I  think  it's  a 
great  idea  to  put  something  in  for  'em  to  cut." 

■pvOROTHY  GISH,  recently  re- 
-*—' turned  from  England,  says  the 
demoralizing  effect  of  our  movies  on 
foreign  peoples  is  really  awful. 

In  a  London  grammar  school  a 
little  girl  was  asked  what  M  P.  stood 
for.  Without  the  slightest  hesita- 
tion, she  replied: 

"Mary  Pickford." 

BEN  LYON  is  claiming  the  distinction  of  be- 
ing the  first  person  to  have  a  birthday  party 
at  a  railroad  station.  It  was  his  -Oth  birthday 
and  some  friends  gave  him  a  dinner  at  the 
Pennsylvania  Station  in  Xew  York. 

The  why  of  it  is  this:  the  night  of  his  birth- 
day he  was  scheduled  to  leave  For  location  in 
Florida  on  his  new  picture.  "The  Savage." 
Three  hours  before  train  time  he  was  still  up  at 
the  Biograph  Studio  finishing  up  some  interior 
scenes  of  the  picture.  So  the  gang  decided  to 
hold  the  party  in  the  station  dining  room. 

IT  was  while  Alan  Hale,  the  clever  actor  and 
heavy  of  "The  Covered  Wagon,"  who  has 
reformed  and  is  now  a  director,  was  preparing 
to  film  "Brave  Heart." 


He  had  engaged  T\Tone  Power  to  play  an 
Indian  and  instructed  his  assistant  to  send  over 
Mr.  Power's  costume,  part  of  which  was  a  pair 
of  Indian  pants  built  along  the  lines  of  a  cow- 
boy's chaps. 

Just  before  dinner  Alan  was  called  to  the 
phone.    It  was  Tyrone  Power. 

"Mr.  Hale."  said  the  actor.  "I've  just  re- 
ceived the  most  extraordinary  trousers  as  a 
part  of  my  wardrobe.  I  can't  possibly  appear 
in  them." 

"And  why?"  asked  Hale. 

"Because  they  have  no  seat  in  them." 

\  A ARIE  PREVOST  had  two  good  reasons 
*-*-Msr  being  unusually  happy  last  month — 
her  rapid  recovery  from  the  effects  of  an  opera- 
tion and  a  new  contract  with  Metropolitan 
Pictures. 

And  then  came  the  news  of  her  mother's 
death  in  an  automobile  accident. 

.Mrs.  Prevost  had  been  motoring  to  Florida 
with  Vera  Steadman  of  the  Christie  Studio  and 
Al  Christie,  comedy  producer,  in  Miss  Stead- 
man's  car.  The  automobile  was  running  at 
thirty  miles  an  hour  outside  of  l.ordsburg. 
Xew  Mexico,  when  a  back  wheel  broke.  The 
car  spun  around  twice  and  turned  over,  pin- 
ning Christie  and  Miss  Steadman  beneath  it. 
Mrs.  Prevost  was  killed  instantly,  her  back 
broken.  The  chauffeur  was  unhurt.  Mr. 
Christie  and  Miss  Steadman  received  super- 
ficial bruises. 

A  /TICK FY  XITI.AX  was  some  seven  hours 
■••"■Mate  on  his  set  one  day.    And  the  company 

waited  and  shivered — and  then  shivered  and 
waited  some  more. 

"Must  have  lost  his  script."  hazarded  a 
member  of  the  cast. 

"Sure."  says  the  prop  boy.  "Must  have 
lost  his  script  and  is  now  hunting  through  all 
the  shirts  in  the  Hollywood  laundry  to  find  it."

No  figure  to  speak  of — no  screen  career  to  worry  about. 
At  the  age  of  fourteen  months  Lois  Moran  could  play 
with  a  milk  bottle  without  a  qualm.  But  now,  when 
there  is  a  figure  to  worry  about,  it's  a  raw  vegetable 
diet  exclusively 


one  of  the  few  surviving  directors  who  "shoot 
from  the  cuff" — which  means  the  only  script 
he  ever  has  is  what's  in  his  head,  aided  by  an 
tsional  note  on  the  cuff.) 

A  RATHER  noveau-riche  Holly- 
**:  wood  star  was  talking  about  the 
magnificent  new  mansion  she  was 
building  in  Beverly  Hills. 

"Why,  I've  even  got  a  feudal  sys- 
tem installed,"  said  she,  gravely. 

THE  world's  perfect  extra  has  been  found! 
Paul  Powell  discovered  him  when  he  was 
making  "The  Prince  of  Pilsen."  The  man's 
name  is  "Chester" — last  name  unknown — and 
lie  hails  from  anywhere. 

Powell  was  posing  them  for  a  still  picture. 
Chester  was  to  stand  so  he  partly  obscured 
Anita  Stewart,  the  star,  and  Allan  Forrest 
was  in  the  scene,  too. 

"Aw,  gee!  Mister  Powell,  I  better  stand  in 
de  back  'cuss  nobudy  kin  see  de  ledy!" 

The  director  and  camera  man  fainted. 

ADOLPHE  MENJOU  refuses  to  talk  about 
his  divorce  suit.  He  charges  in  the  suit 
that  Mrs.  Menjou  scolded  and  found  fault 
with  him,  calling  him  "good-for-nothing, 
puffed-up  and  conceited." 

DATSY  RUTH  MILLER  told  me  this  story. 
*-  But  she  refused  to  divulge — beg  as  I  might — 
who  the  original  was. 

There  was  a  certain  youth  in  Hollywood, 
noted  for  his  manly  beauty,  who  had  achieved 
a  sudden  success  in  pictures.  One  day.  in 
the  flush  of  his  rapid  ascendency,  he  kindly 
proffered  a  friend  a  picture  of  himself.  And 
they  went  to  the  art  shop  to  choose  a  frame  for 
the  picture. 

Said  the  art  shop  keeper,  scrutinizing  it  for  a 
xntrent — it  really  was  a  handsome  picture: 


"This  should  have  a  narrow  frame  .  .  . 
because  the  head  is  so  big." 

And  the  friend  replied    blandly: 
"Ah!    You  notice  it,  too!" 

A  LI.  the  first-nighters  turned  out  for  the 
•'••recent  opening  of  Sessue  Hayakawa  in 
"The  Love  City"  on  the  stage  in  New  York. 
Mae  Murray,  May  McAvoy,  Tom  Meighan. 
Lila  Lee,  James  Kirk  wood,  Hope  Hampton. 
Hen  Lyon,  May  Allison  and  Aileen  Pringle 
were  among  the  enthusiastic  audience. 
The  play  is  a  melodrama  of  the  Orient. 

JUST  a  poor  lorn  little  orphan.  That's  the 
way  the  press  painted  our  Nita  Xaldi.  the 
beautiful  bait  of  many  a  screen  drama.  Al-

wealthy  Xew  York  clubman. 

Can't  you  picture  our  little  Xita,  shivering

only  a  rope  of  pearls  protecting  her  throat 
from  the  cruel  1  lasts  over  the  Led  caviar? 
The  foundling — or  fondling? — story  emanated 
from  Taris. 

But  Xita,  with  her  customary  sense  of  humor, 
laughed  when  she  heard  the  fabrication,  said 
there  was  nothing  to  it,  that  she  wasn't  even 
going  to  marry  the  beneficent  Mr.  Barclay, 
that  French  women  were  the  lovelies!  in  the 
world,  that  life  in  the  Gallic  capital  had  her 
completely  captivated,  and  that  she  did  not 
know  when  she  would  return  to  Hollywood. 

HOWARD  CHANDLER  CHRISTY,  the 
famous  artist,  and  Xorma  Talmadge  were 
exchanging  conversation  on  the  set,  where 
Christy  was  visiting.  He  was  telling  her  about 
a  ~tatue  of  a  mermaid  he  had  seen. 

"  Did  it  have  a  tail?"  said  Xorma. 

"Certainly."  said  the  artist. 

"Well,  it's  no  good  then."  said  Xorma.  "  Xo 
use  to  pull  that  stuff  on  people  any  more.  Ev- 
en body  knows  about  legs  nowadays." 

Mrs.  Christy,  who  is  terribly  popular  with 


the  girls  of  the  film  colony,  cooked  chicken  and 
dumplings  in  Norma's  bungalow  the  other  day 
at  luncheon  time  and  Xorma  asked  a  numi  er 
of  friends  in  and  made  it  a  very  successful 
affair.  The  chicken  and  dumplings  were  a 
great  success,  not  to  mention  Mrs.  Christy's 
apple  pie.  It  is  little  informal  affairs  of  that 
kind  that  can't  be  duplicated  anywhere  eke  oil 
earth  that  give  Hollywood  its  charm. 

DUBLIN  has  banned  "The  Merry  Widow.'' 
Xo  direct  explanation  has  been  given  by 
the  autocratic  Free  State  censor,  and  although 
any  cuts  he  wished  would  be  agreed  to.  he  re- 
fused to  pass  the  picture  for  public  exhibition. 

THE  Pickford-Fairbanks  are  certainly  revo- 
lutionizing the  Los  Angeles  police  force. 

First  Doug  purloins  a  traffic  cop  and  makes  a 
pirate  of  him  for  his  "Black  Pirate"  picture, 
and  now  Mary,  with  a  specially  made  gold 
1  adge,  has  joined  the  police  force.  That  should 
frighten  away  all  kidnappers. 

The  reason  for  the  honor  is  because  of  the 
kindly  manner  in  which  Mary  has  depicted  the 
officers  of  the  law  in  her  pictures. 

Can't  you  just  see  our  Mary,  in  her  little  blue 
uniform  with  the  brass  buttons,  vigorously 
selling  tickets  to  the  Policemen's  Balk-' 

A  DISPATCH  from  Geneva  says  that  Mary 
Pickford  and  Douglas  Fairbanks  will  make 
an  Alpine  picture  together  in  Montreux.  to  be 
called  "Boots  of  the  (Hants."  written  by 
Pierre  Benoit.     Perhaps. 

AX  enterprising   salesman   of   Florida   real 
estate    sought    an    interview    with    Bel  e 
Daniels  for  a  week  and  finally  caught  her  as 

she  was  leaving  the  Lasky  studio  for  her  home. 
Mentioning  the  name  of  a  mutual  friend,  he 
caught  her  attention  momentarily  and  launched 
into  his  great  idea,  which  was  to  sell  the  star 
some  land  in  a  section  to  be  known  as  "Belie 
Daniels  Park."  [  continued  on  page  84  ]

Th 


DANCING  MOTHERS— Paramount 

HERBERT  BREXOX  scores  again.  The  renowned 
creator  of  film  fantasy  has  here  turned  out  a  realistic, 
fast  moving  drama  of  smart  night  life. 

It  concerns  a  gentle  wife  who  would  a-flappering  go.  Her 
sub-dch  daughter  and  her  distinguished  husband  leave  her 
home,  night  after  night,  while  they  seek  the  white  lights. 
Finally,  mother  puts  on  her  smartest  evening  gown  and 
rebels.  The  complication  is  that  she  falls  in  love  with  the 
same  handsome  bachelor  who  is  loved  by  her  daughter  and 
her  husband's  sweetie. 

Clara  How's  performance  as  the  peppy  little  daughter  is 
beautifully  handled.  Norman  Trevor  does  very  well  by  the 
father.  But  Alice  Joyce  and  Conway  Tearle  as  the  mother 
and  the  lover  are  rather  disappointing. 


PARTNERS  AGAIN— POTASH  AND  PERLMUTTER 
—  United  Artists 

ABE  and  Mawruss  are  thoroughly  delightful  as  usual. 
This  time  they  are  in  the  automobile  business.  Abe, 
with  his  yard  wide  streak  of  sentimentality,  gels  hooked  into 
a  scheme  that  he  Fondly  hopes  will  cover  Mamma's  Eat  fingers 
with  square  cut  diamonds.  Instead,  he  loses  everything  but 
his  shirt,  and  thereby  hangs  the  tale.  Of  course,  it  is  up  to 
Mawruss  to  get  him  out  of  the  scrape. 

We  think  there  is  more  real  romance  between  Abe  and 
Rosie  Potash  than  in  all  the  impassioned  love  scenes  ever 
devised  by  Madame  Glyn.  There  is  young  romance  in  the 
picture,  too,  between  Abe's  niece  and  his  head  mechanic. 

The  number  of  laughs  and  thrills  thai  director  Henry 
King  has  wrung  out  of  a  runaway  automobile  and  an  aero- 
plane, is  incredible.     George  Sidney-  is  always  a  lovable  Abe.

A  Review  of  the  7\[ew  Pictures 


THE  GRAND  DUCHESS  AND  THE  WAITER— Paramount 

A  DRAMATIC  bonbon  that  will  not  improve  your  mind 
nor  help  you  hold  your  husband  nor  solve  how  to  pay 
the  mortgage.  But  how  it  will  delight  you  if  you  belong  to 
that  class  which  finds  an  unlifted  eyebrow  more  stimulating 
than  a  heaving  chest. 

It  is  love  in  high  society  with  a  charm  as  gentle  and  ex- 
hilarating as  spring  about  it.  Like  all  well  made  bonbons, 
it  is  pure  and  sweet  and  ultra-sophisticated. 

Malcom  St.  Clair  has  directed  it  flawlessly.  Another  pic- 
ture of  this  calibre  from  this  young  man  and  his  will  be  a 
name  well  worth  following  to  any  box  office. 

The  title  tells  the  whole  story.  In  fact,  the  story  mat- 
ters not  at  all  in  this  picture.  It  is  the  talents  of  Adolph 
Menjou  and  Florence  Vidor  shining  forth  from  it  like  bubbles 
in  champagne  that  make  it  the  delicious  thing  it  is. 

Florence,  appearing  more  beautiful  and  smartly  gowned 
than  ever  before,  plays  an  impoverished  and  very  grand 
Duchess.  Menjou  is  a  French  sportsman,  who  pretends  to  be 
a  waiter  simply  to  know  and  serve  her.  Suspecting  his  lowly 
love,  the  Grand  Duchess,  not  suspecting  his  wealth,  deter- 
mines to  humiliate  him  into  leaving.  She  makes  him  wash 
the  dogs.  She  makes  him  take  them,  four  wolfhounds  and 
two  poms,  for  a  walk  in  the  park.  She  makes  him  sleep  on 
her  doorstep  and  retrieve  her  book  from  her  bathtub. 
Menjou  executes  all  her  commands,  suave  and  smitten  to  the 
end.  And  then  when  love  begins  to  dawn  on  t.hc  Grand 
Duchess — well,  go  see  it  for  yourself. 

Sophistication  and  sex  at  their  merriest  are  here.  Vet  so 
beautifully  is  it  all  handled  it  is  safe  for  everyone  from 
grandma  down  to  the  baby.

IRENE— First  National 

THIS  picture  is  entertaining  hokum  in  a  beautiful  setting. 
Colleen  Moore  is  a  poor  little  Irish  tad  who  gets  be- 
friended by  a  young  fellow,  part  owner  of  a  modiste  shop. 
Does  he  make  her  the  head  mannequin?     You  guessed  it. 

The  story  begins  in  Philadelphia  where  Irene  is  a  member 
of  the  shanty  Irish  aristocracy.  Mom  takes  in  washing  and 
Pop  takes  in  anything  containing  one  per  cent  alcohol. 
Irene  is  constitutionally  unsuited  for  remunerative  work. 
As  a  window  demonstrator  of  the  resiliency  of  somebody-or- 
other's  patent  bed  spring,  she  takes  a  terrible  Hop.  Then  she 
tries  salamanding  with  a  girl  friend,  and  is  obliged  to  skate 
home. 

Next  Irene  runs  away  to  New  York,  meets  the  nice  fella 
and  goes  to  work  in  Madame  Lucy's  gown  shop.  She  is  not 
exactly  Madame  Lucy's  idea  of  a  mannequin,  but  the  boss 
likes  her.  so  there  you  are.  Mom  and  Pop  and  the  kids  soon 
follow  to  live  off  Irene's  swell  job. 

Comes  the  fashion  show.  In  color.  The  four  seasons  are 
represented  by  beautiful  girls  in  beautiful  gowns  and  hand- 
some settings.  Of  course,  there  isn't  a  stitch  that  you  could 
ask  your  local  dressmaker  to  copy,  but  what  a  feast  for  the 
optics!  And  Colleen  looking  like  a  rose  petal,  leading  the 
show. 

Everybody  in  the  picture  is  funny  except  that  terribly 
earnt  t  young  man,  Lloyd  Hughes.  Colleen's  pantomimic 
talentj  are  hampered  here  and  there  by  unnecessary  sub- 
titles. George  K.  Arthur's  characterization  of  Madame 
Lucy  is  well  thought  out  and  decidedly  clever.  His  work  is 
one  of  the  outstanding  points  of  the  picture. 

The  direction  leaves  something  to  be  desired. 


BEHIND  THE  FRONT     Paramount 

THERE  an-  two  sides  to  every  story  even  the  war. 
■'The  Kig  Parade"  was  war  al  the  height  of  tragedy 
interwoven  with  humor,  but  "  Behind  the  trout  "  is  a  satire 
on  the  lives  of  the  buddies  "over  there."    It's  not  artistic 

it's  not  meant  to  be — it's  plain  slapstick  comedy  with  enough 
kick  in  it  to  make  one  realize  that  Sherman  spoke  the  truth. 

It  is  a  rare  and  infrequent  occasion  that  Mich  a  robust 
comedy  is  handled  in  such  a  deft  way.  Edward  Sutherland, 
who  is  rapidly  being  recognized  as  a  master  of  wit,  has 
presented  his  humor  in  a  straightforward  manner. 

Wallace  Beery  and  Raymond  Hatton  are,  without  doubt, 
the  funniest  team  that  has  ever  depicted  life  in  the  trenches 
Their  humor  is  inimitable,  and  if  we  don't  see  more  of  this 
splendid  team,  then  all  is  lost. 


THE  BLACKBIRD— Metro- Golduyn 

LOX  CHANEY  has  placed  himself  in  the  foreground  as 
one  who  can  accurately  analyze  any  human  soul  and  any 
human  emotion.  This  is  one  of  the  finest  characterizations 
to  Chaney's  credit.  He  doesn't  resort  to  heavy  make-up  to 
put  over  his  character.  Even  when  he  appears  as  the 
cripple,  he  shows  how  he  merely  throws  his  shoulders  and 
hips  out  of  joint  and  hobbles  on  crutches. 

As  clever  as  Chaney  is.  Tod  Browning's  direction  is  just  as 
remarkable.  In  the  delineation  of  his  English  characters  and 
haunts  his  interpretation  rings  true.  lie  has  a  born  story- 
teller's gift  of  entertaining  narrative — for  he  wrote  the  story. 

It  is  one  of  those  crooked  affairs  that  is  tilled  with  sus- 
pense. Excellent  entertainment  and  so  mystifying  that 
we'll  wager  you'll  like  to  sec  it  again. 

Don't  pass  it  up.

MARE  NOSTRUM— Metro-Gotdwyn 

A  MOST  disappointing  film  from  the  man  who  directed 
"  The  Four  Horsemen."  Most  of  the  New  York  critics 
dodged  the  issue,  because  of  its  foreign  atmosphere  and  the 
reputation  of  Rex  Ingram.  Doubtful  of  its  entertainment 
value  they  attributed  to  it  artistic  merit  which  it  docs  not 
possess.  A  repulsive  quality  to  it  sent  this  writer  to  a  soda 
fountain  to  get  the  bad  taste  out  of  his  mouth. 


NELL  GWYN— Paramount 

THIS  is  the  first  English  production  to  reach  these  shores 
that  will  meet  with  the  approval  of  American  audiences. 
Perhaps  this  is  due  to  the  appearance  of  our  Dorothy  Gish  in 
the  cast.  Never  has  Dorothy  done  such  creditable  work. 
and,  as  the  little  impish  gamin  who  becomes  a  favorite  of  the 
King,  her  performance  ranks  as  one  of  the  finest  of  the 
month.    Just  for  the  grown-ups.

THE  RECKLESS  LADY— First  National 

BELLE  BENNETT  and  Lois  Moran  are  together  again  in 
another  vehicle  with  a  mother  love  theme.  But  it  hasn't 
the  poignant  heart-appeal  of  "Stella  Dallas."  It's  about  a 
mother  who  frequents  the  gambling  houses  in  Paris  in  order 
to  furnish  her  daughter  with  the  necessities  of  life.  Of  course 
the  daughter  is  ignorant  of  the  mother's  carryings-on.  but  all 
the  dirt  comes  out  in  the  wash.     Good  entertainment. 


DANCE  MADNESS— Metro- Golduyn 

THERE'S  nothing  new  in  the  plot — hubby  wandering 
away  from  the  fireside  and  wine  setting  out  to  win  him 
back — but  the  whole  picture  is  filled  with  such  a  gay  and 
humorous  charm  (thanks  to  Robert  Leonard,  the  director). 
that  you'll  just  love  it.  And.  too,  it  establishes  Conrad 
Nagel  as  a  splendid  comedian.  It's  too  sexy  for  the 
children. 


ROCKING  MOON— Producers  Dist. 

A(iOOl)  story  against  a  new  and  interesting  background. 
Rocking  Moon  is  an  island  in  Alaskan  waters,  owned  by 
Sasha  (Lilyan  Tashman),  only  descendant  of  the  Russian 
seniors  who  discovered  it.  Sasha  raises  blue  foxes.  The 
beautiful  creatures  scamper  through  the  picture,  Laska 
Winter  gives  an  interesting  interpretation  of  a  half-breed 
Indian  girl  who  wants  the  Love  of  a  white  man. 


MEMORY  LANE— First  National 

WRITTEN  and  directed  by  John  M.  Stahl,  this  is  one  of 
the  most  delightful  and  charming  romances  screened. 
To  begin  with,  the  production  is  not  pretentious,  and  Stahl 
has  done  his  work  with  feeling  and  discrimination.  As  to  the 
story — well,  it's  about  two  boys  and  a  girl.  The  cast  is 
excellent — Eleanor  Boardman  is  the  charming  heroine;  Con- 
rad Nagel  and  William  Haines,  the  rival  lovers. 


m 


THE  AUCTION  BLOCK-  Mctro-Colduyn 

CHARLES  RAT      not  as  the  country  bumpkin,  bul  quite 
the  man  about  town — is  m>  decidedly  human  thai  we'll 
never  Forgive  him  it  be  goes  back  to  his  former  roles.    Charlie 

marries  a  beauty  contest  winner  and  when  she  learns  of  his 

wimmen  she  leaves  him.  He  makes  good  and  proves  thai 
he's  worthy  of  her  love.  There  are  a  lol  of  laughs  through- 
out, and  we  know  you'll  enjoy  this. 


MOAN  A  OF  THE  SOUTH  SEAS— Paramount 

T\  RNING  from  the  jazz-mad  generation  and  the 
i  harleston  to  ihc  peaceful  swishing  palm  trees  in  the  isle 
of  Samoa,  at  least  sounds  more  picturesque  and  restful. 
Robert  J.  Flaherty,  the  producer,  spent  three  years  in  the 
making  of  this  picture,  and  he  has  given  us  a  slice  of  life  from 
these  isles.     Accordingly,  the  plot  consists  chiefly  of  the 

daily  lask.s  of  the  natives.     Send  the  children. 


THE  MILLION  DOLLAR  HANDICAP— Prod.   Dist.   Co. 

OUR  favorite  plot  is  back  again,  and  it  affords  as  much 
amusement  as  ever.  Director  Scott  Sidney  has  handled 
the  racing  scenes  well  and  not  forgetting  that  the  audience 
likes  to  chuckle  now  and  then.  The  big  race  scene  is  very 
thrilling.  In  fact,  the  audience  became  so  enthused  one 
would  think  everyone  had  placed  five  over  the  board. 
Splendid  entertainment. 


THE  BEAUTIFUL  CHEAT— Universal 

OR  some  inside  dope  on  how  to  exploit  a  star.  An 
unknown  girl  from  a  small  town  is  supposedly  imported 
from  Europe  and  is  heralded  as  the  most  dramatic  star  from 
the  other  side.  The  producer's  finances  run  low  and  the 
press  agent  does  his  stuff.  This  is  very  amusing  at  times. 
bul  nothing  to  get  real  excited  about.  Laura  La  Plante, 
Harry  Mvers  and  Alexander  Carr  are  in  the  cast. 


THE  CAVE  MAN— Warner  Bros. 

ANOTHER  silly  vehicle  featuring  Matt  Moore  and 
Marie  Prevost.  It's  not  the  fault  of  the  members  of  the 
cast,  for  goodness  knows,  they  seem  to  be  struggling  to  try 
and  save  this  from  the  boredom  class.  The  fault  lies  in  the 
ridiculous  story — an  heiress,  in  search  of  adventure,  be- 
friends a  coal  heaver  and  endeavors  to  make  him  the  toast  of 
society.    Then  she  falls  in  love  with  him  and — happy  ending. 


FIFTH  AVENUE— Producers  Dist.  Co. 

NEW  YORK  loves  to  advertise — even  itself.  Its  scenes 
of  gay  and  glamorous  luxury  lure  many  a  young  village 
hopeful  to  New  York  and  disillusion  her.  but  this  story 
proves  that  a  good  girl  can  fight  the  city  slickers  despite  all 
the  temptations.  There's  a  certain  sophisticated  twist  to  the 
plot  that  makes  it  inadvisable  for  children  to  see.

Her  smile  is  as  lazy  as  her  speech.  "Then  1  won't  have  any-

"Nothing  like  that  ever  stopped  a  movie  interview,"  I 
encouraged  her. 

Her  glance  came  forth  directly  that  time  from  a  pair  of  eyes 
as  wise  as  Solomon's  beloved.

Manhattan 
Technique 

Certainly  it's  true 

that  a  chorus  girl  learns 

a  lot  about  acting 


By  Ruth  Waterbury 


"They  slaay  me.*'  she  drawled,  "these  movie  people.  I 
never  met  any  of  them  until  I  went  to  play  my  firsl 
picture.  In  the  beginning  I  couldn't  believe  them.  They 
go  around  saying.  'This  is  a  wow  of  an  idea.'  or  '  Listen  to 
this  gag.  baby.'  "  Shepau>ed  and  searched  for  expression. 
She  sighed.    "  They  slaay  me."  she  confessed  finally. 

Describing  Louise  presents  its  difficulties.  Sh\ 
very  Manhattan.  Very  young.  Exquisitely  hard-boiled. 
Her  black  eyes  and  sleek  black  hair  are  as  brilliant  as 
Chinese  lacquer.  Her  skin  is  white  as  a  camelia.  Her  legs 
are  lyric.  She  has  been  one  of  the  decorative  daughter-  of 
the  night  life  of  New  York  for  three  seasons.  Gcorgie 
White  first  displayed  her  in  the  "Scandals."  Ziegfeld  got 
her  next  season  for  the  "  Follies."  He  hung  on  to  her  until 
the  movies  nabbed  her. 

She  started  in  pictures  with  "The  American  Venus."  Il 
was  only  a  small  part.  After  all  the  picture  had  the  speci- 
ally signed  Fay  Lanphier,  the  chosen  Miss  America:  Esther 
Ralston  and  the  entire  Atlantic  City  beauty  pageant  for 
eye  fillers  with  Ford  Sterling,  Edna  Mae  Oliver  and 
Lawrence  Gray  to  do  a  little  acting.  Nobody  intended 
Louise  to  be  particularly  important  and  Louise  didn't 
bother  to  mention  to  anyone  that  she  was. 

TIIEX  Paramount  saw  her  rushes.  They  signed  her  for 
five  years.  That's  how  good  she  is.  A  good  chorus  girl 
learns  lots  of  things,  and  Louise  was  an  excellent  chorus  girl. 
When  she  started  work  on  her  second  picture.  Menjou's 
"A  Social  Celebrity,"  she  found  they  had  given  her  the 
role  of  a  manicurist.  It  was  a  very  little  role.  Xo  one 
remembers  Louise  having  kicked  about  it.  She  said  she'd 
play  it.     Mai  St.  Clair  was  the  director. 

But  somehow  Greta  Xissen  left  the  cast  and  the  leading 
feminine  role.    Somehow  the  part  got  rewritten,  and  almost 
before  anyone  knew  it  Louise  was  playing  it.    It  was  still 
the  part  of  a  manicurist,  but  it  was  also  the  lead.     Menjou 
says  she  is  one  of  the  finest  actresses  he  has  ever  seen.    So  doe- 
Mai  St.  Clair.    So  does  the  Paramount  publicity  staff. 
Yes,  Louise  is  very  good  indeed. 

She  was  in  bed  when  I  called,  most  oi  her  completely  obscured 
by  a  bathrobe  of  Turkish  toweling.  It  was  noon,  but  she  had 
been  up  earlier  horseback  riding.  After  that.  Louise  explained, 
she  had  to  receive  in  bed. 

She  started  her  career  at  Denishawn,  that  school  of  dancing 
of  Ruth  St.  Denis'  and  Ted  Shawn's.  She  studied  two  months 
and  then  they  signed  her  to  dance  on  tour  with  them  as  one  of 
their  leading  soloists. 

"You  must  have  been  very  talented  to  be  starred  by  them 
so  immediately,"  1  said. 

Another  wise  glance  winged  iis  way  upward. 
"They  needed  somebody  in  a  hurry,  somebody  young  and 
inexpensive,"  Louise  explained.     The  possibilities  of  kidd     > 
Louise  seem  very  remote. 

"  Miss  St.  Denis  is  very  strict."  she  added.  "She  wouldn't 
let  us  smoke  or  eat  candy  or  stay  up  late  or  anything.  We  did 
nothing  but  work  and  dance.    Some  [coxtixued  ox  page  120  j

and  photograph}  raised  to  the  nth  degree.  Either  of  them  can 
shed  their  beauty  and  become  quite  plain. 

Florence  Vidor,  on  the  other  hand,  was  born  with* a  face  ol 
such  proportion  and  coloring  that  at  all  times  and  under  all 
circumstances     I  have  seen  her  after  three  sets  of  tournament 

tennis  and  when  she  woke  up  at  five  A.  M.  to  the  <  all  ol  an 
alarm  clock  in  a  location  tent     she  is  beautiful. 

Uso,  there  is  a  great  difference  between  a  pretty,  even  a 
beautiful  woman,  and  A  Beauty. 

A  beautiful  or  prettj  woman  is  simply  one  who  has  sufficient 

degree  of  good  looks  to  please  the  eye  and  da/./.le  the  senses. 

A  Beauty  is  a  woman  whose  looks  will  overshadow  ever) 

thing  else  about  her  and  become  the  one  paramount  fact  of  her 
personality  and  existence  if  she  doesn't  look  out. 

We  have  thousands  of  pretty  girls  and  women  in  Hollywood. 

We  have  some  startling  t)  pes  and  some  who  have  acquired  a 
large  degree  of  graee  and  beauty  to  use  in  their  dramatic  work 
And  we  have  three  or  four  real  beauties. 

Of  these,  to  my  sense  of  things  and  I  think  to  most  of  Holl) 
wood,  Florence  Vidor  stands  out  most  prominently. 

And  she  is  the  only  dissatisfied  beauty  I  have  ever  known. 

There  are  darn  few  of  them  anywhere.  I  imagine. 

Mostly,  beauties  are  very  well  satisfied — at  least  with  them 
selves.  Sometimes,  of  course, 
they  are  dissatisfied  with  their 
dressmakers,  with  their  hus- 
bands' incomes,  with  photog- 
raphers -  in  -  general  a  n  d 
critics-in-particular. 

But  with  themselves,  as  a 
rule,  they  are  content.  They 
consider  that  by  merely  being 
they  have  done  all  that  is 
necessary  in  life.  Their  dis- 
positions, their  intellects  re 
ceive  practically  no  attention. 


NOW,  in  consequence  of 
this,  it  is  a  provable  Fact 
that  many  of  the  screen  stars. 
who  possessed  real  beauty  and 
nothingel.se,  have  slipped  into 
early  oblivion.  It  wouldn't 
be  kind  to  mention  their 
names  here,  but  if  you  will 
think  a  moment  you  can 
figure  it  out  for  yourself. 

Mostly,  that  happened  be- 
cause they  thought  being 
beautiful  was  ENOUGH. 
They  gave  nothing  more. 
They  created  nothing.  People 
got  tired  of  just  looking  at 
them  and  oblivion  engulfed 
them,  while  girls  like  Colleen 
Moore.  Rence  Adoree.  Norma 
Shearer  and  Bebe  Daniels. 
none  of  whom  would  even 
claim  to  have  been  given  real 
beauty  in  the  beginning,  have 
swept  to  the  heights. 

Xot  so  long  ago,  it  looked 
as  though  Florence  Vidor 
might  be  headed  for  the  back- 
waters, after  several  stupid 
pictures.

Florence  doesn't  think  just  being  a  beaut)  isENOI  GH.  She 
doesn't  think  it's  am  thing  of  importance  at  all.  She  tries  to 
build  her  whole  life  on  the  basis  of  ignoring  it  altogether.    That 

is  why  she  is.  lo  me,  the  most  remarkable  woman  in  llolh  wood. 
I  have  never  known  Florence  \  idor  to  take  advantage  of  her 
beauty.  Just  as  most  women  intrude  their  womanhood  upon 
important  matters,  just  as  most  women  take  advantage  of  theii 
sex  in  contests  or  arguments  or  street  cars,  deny  it  a^  they  may, 
so  do  most  beauties  intrude  their  beauty.  They  use  it  to  gain 
their  own  ends,  to  put  you  at  a  disadvantage,  to  subdue  opposi- 
tion. They  substitute  it  for  brains  and  culture.  Not  Florence 
Vidor.  She  always  meets  everybody,  man  or  woman,  upon 
their  own  ground. 

1  have  seen  her  discuss  and  argue  all  -ori-  of  questions — she 
has  very  definite  and  deeply-thought-out  opinions  on  a  wide 
variety  of  subjects  with  such  men  as  Michael  Arlen  and 
Laurence  Stallings  and  the  great  Hungarian  playwright.  Yadja. 

with  such  force  and  honesty 
and  humor  that  before  you 
knew  it  they  were  paying  her 
the  supreme  compliment  of 
treating  her  as  an  intellectual 
equal.

married  all  her  children  to  royal  thrones — be 
ignored?     Such  talents  Hollywood  needs

with  great  brilliancy.  She  has 
a  >ure,  receptive  mind,  that 
cannot  be  shaken  by  mere 
words.  She  has  a  retentive 
memory.  She  has  a  real,  gor- 
geous sense  of  humor.  She- 
has  cultivated  and  improved 
all  of  these.  By  reading  and 
Study  and  association,  she  has 
gained  culture  and  polished 
her  wit.  And  with  care  and 
thought  she  has  gained  a 
poise  which  permits  her  to 
use  all  these  things  to  their 
very  best  advantage. 

She  exerts  herself  to  be 
charming,  which  is  not  always 
the  habit  of  beauties.  I  don't 
mean  that  she  is  affected. 
Her  naturalness  is  the  most 
attractive  thing  about  her. 
But  she  can  listen  appreci- 
atively, she  can  encourage 
and  stimulate  others  to  do 
and  be  at  their  best.  She  i> 
not  above  taking  pains.  a>  all 
women  now  and  in  the  past 
who  wished  to  be  charming 
have  always  done,  to  see  that 
everyone  is  comfortable  and 
to  somewhat  control  the  con- 
versation and  atmosphere  of 
her  home.

How  to  Be  a  Producer 


B 


■7 


Dorothy  Herzog 


The  simplest  way  to  tell  that 

is  to  relate  how  young 
Irving  Thalberg  got  that  way 


THE  sun  was  shilling.  Why 
not?  It  had  nothing  to 
lose.  Therefore  we  took 
heart  as  we  breezed  up 
Broadway  and  bethought  ourself 
of  meeting  young  Irving  Thal- 
berg, reckoned  t  he  "  boy  wonder, " 
"the  .Miracle  Man  of  pictures," 
and  other  reckless  superlatives. 

Of  course,  we  argued  against 
ourself.  Mr.  Thalberg  comes  to 
town  haloed  by  glamorous  pub- 
licity. No  man  can  be  26  years 
old  and  merit  such  awesome  titles. 

On  the  other  hand,  argued  our- 
self to  us,  Mr.  Thalberg  is  a  Vice 
President  of  Metro-Goldwyn- 
Mayer.  Pic  holds  millions  of  dol- 
lars in  the  hollow  of  his  hand.  As 
a  producer  he  guides  the  precari- 
ous destinies  of  such  stars  as 
Norma  Shearer,  Jack  Gilbert, 
Lillian  Gish,  Rcnee  Adorce,  Con- 
rad Nagel,  et  cetera  and  ad  lib. 

I  wanted  to  know  how  he  got 
that  way. 

At  this  asbestos  moment,  our 
body  came  to  a  halt  before  the 
hostelry  in  which  the  disturbing 
Mr.  Thalberg  had  checked  in  that 
morn.  In  we  strolled  and  so  up  in 
the  elevator  to  his  suite. 

A  girl  interviewer  and  a  bored 
male  of  the  same  profesh  lolled  in 
the  ante-room. 

"Hello,"  greeted  the  g.i.,  who 
knew  us  socially. 

"Have  you  seen  him?" 

"Have  I  seen  him!"  Her  optics 
disobeyed  the  law  of  gravitation 
and  rolled  upwards.  "My  dear, 
he  is  wonderful.     So  boyish,  so  modest,  so  natural." 

Bosh,  likewise  piffle,  we  murmured,  and  turned  as  the  guar- 
dian of  the  Miracle  Man's  room  entered.  We  shook  hands  and 
sparred  for  round  one,  following  him  into  "the  presence. "  We 
failed  to  discover  "the  presence."  Instead,  a  human  being  of 
medium  height,  slight  physique,  passable  good  looks,  and  ex- 
traordinary alive  eyes  of  brown  greeted  us  with  direct  scrutiny 
and  boyish  smile. 

WE  introduced  ourself  as  the  girl  interviewer  who  meets 
all  the  incoming  trains.  Whereupon  the  youth  before  us 
actually  blushed.  He  protested  mildly  on  being  interviewed 
when  New  York  was  full  of  movie  stars. 

Of  course,  that  could  have  raised  a  question,  but  we  don't 
believe  in  raising  anything,  even  questions.  The  longer  Mr. 
Thalberg  talked,  and  he  can  talk  once  he  has  an  idea  ahead  of 
him,  the  more  intrigued  we  became.  To  us  he  seemed  a  com- 
bined Horatio  Alger  hero,  Peter  Pan,  Napoleon,  Falstafi  and 
J.  Pierpont  Morgan,  and  we  aren't  being  prodigal  with  these 
names  simply  to  demonstrate  how  well  versed  we  are  in  the 
classics. 

Not  only  has  Mr.  Thalberg  a  sense  of  humor;  he  is  also 
honest.  He  came  right  out  and  said  he  was  born  in  Brooklyn, 
N.  V.  He  plunged  deeper.  lie  declared  he  held  his  first  job  in 
that  Metropolitan  borough.  His  interests,  when  a  youth  who 
left  high  school  for  good  after  an  illness  of  eight  months,  cen- 
tered originally  in  a  drvgoods  store  position,  which  he  soon 

66 


Only   twenty-six   years   old,    he's   given   the 

credit  for  producing  "The  Big  Parade11  and 

"The  Merry  Widow.1'    Read  on 


abandoned  to  learn  shorthand  and 
typewriting.  Secretarial  work 
won  him  next.  He  became  man- 
Friday  to  an  exporter  and  eventu- 
ally rose  to  bossing  himself.  This 
position  offered  no  future,  so  de- 
termined young  Irving  canned 
himself  and  millionaired  it  to  Long 
Island  on  his  savings. 

Here  he  met  Carl  Laemmle. 
rotund  president  of  Universal  Pic- 
tures. Thalberg  didn't  know  if 
Universal  Pictures  were  postal 
cards  or  a  tabloid  paper,  but  he 
soon  learned.  The  boardwalk 
acquaintance  blossomed  and  the 
two  men  swapped  ideas.  Mr. 
Laemmle  liked  the  youth's  vital- 
it)',  enthusiasm,  keenness,  fertile 
brain.  He  offered  him  a  secre- 
tarial job.  Irving  turned  it  down 
flatter  than  a  pancake.  It  came 
too  easy.  Perhaps  this  was  the 
first  and  last  time  Carl  Laemmle 
ever  met  with  such  an  experience. 
It  served  to  make  him  remember 
Thalberg. 

SOME  lime  later.  C.L..  as  Irving 
calls  him.  went  a-visiting  to  his 
company's  distributing  offices. 
What  was  his  surprise  to  espy  his 
boardwalk  vis-a-vis  ensconced  be- 
hind a  desk.  He  learned  Thalberg 
had  just  walked  in  and  talked 
himself  into  the  job.  Whereupon 
C.L.  transferred  him  promptly  to 
the  once  disdained  secretarial  posi- 
tion. 

From  this  Irving  learned  the 
intricacies  of  running  a  huge  mo- 
tion picture  concern.  He  learned 
what  the  exhibitors  wanted,  or 
thought  they  wanted.  He  learned 
how  the  public  responded  to  vari- 
ous type  pictures.  And  all  this 
time  he  was  working  a  la  a  fam- 
ily of  ants.  When  C.L.  departed  for  Europe  and  left  his  alert 
secretary  on  the  Coast,  Thalberg  plunged  avidly  into  produc- 
tion routine.  He  achieved  so  much  in  a  short  period  that  C.L. 
gave  him  the  job  permanently.  In  less  time  than  it  takes  to  sew 
a  button  on  an  overcoat,  Irving  Thalberg  had  risen  to  be  gen- 
eral production  director  of  the  massive  Universal  plant. 

So  "they" — the  picture  folk — pointed  to  him  as  the  "boy 
wonder."  "the  Miracle  Man,"  a  genius  of  motion  pictures. 
George  Randolph  Chester,  now  demised,  took  exception  to  such 
rantings  and  penned  satirical  fiction  for  a  great  weekly  around 
young  Thalberg.  baptizing  his  story  character.  Izzy  Einstein. 
Through  Izzy.  Irving  became  a  national  figure. 

Now  it  happens  that  Mr.  Thalberg  has.  foremost  among  his 
business  code,  three  principles:  Slick  to  a  good  idea  enthusi- 
astically until  it  materializes;  work  eight  hours  daily  in  three 
unions;  never  remain  in  a  job  when  you  have  everything  from 
it  you  can  get. 

Obeying  the  latter  principle,  he  left  Universal  to  become 
Louis  B,  Mayer's  leftenant.  Mr.  Mayer,  then  an  independent 
producer,  gave  his  aid  plenty  of  rope.  Instead  of  hanging  himself. 
Thalberg  did  tricks  with  it.  tricks  that  box-ofrice  and  public 
relished. 

So  it  came  about  that  when  Mr.  Mayer  merged  with  Metro 
and  Goldwyn,  he  took  Irving  Thalberg  with  him.  That  wide- 
awake organization  rewarded  the  youth's  impressive  results  by 
making  him  Vice  President,  raising  his  salary  to  dizzy  figures 
and  placing  him  in  charge  of  his  own    (  continued  ox  page  130 1

no  matter  how  busy  we  are!" 

THESE  words  reflect  the  sincerity  of  their 
winsome  speaker.  A  slip  ot  a  girl  with 
large,  soft  amber  eyes;  chestnut  hair  turning 
gold  in  the  sun;  skin  tai  rand  clear  with  the  fresh- 
ness of  exquisite  grooming;  a  svelte  little  figure 
lending  itself  to  the  mode  of  ultra  simplicity  in 
dress  —  here  you  have  Camilla  Livingston. 
Drop  into  one  of  the  smart  Park  Avenue  res- 
taurants at  noon  during  the  New  York  season 
and  mark  the  cachet  of  her  close  little  hat  and 
smart  tailleur  as  she  lunches  with  a  vivacious 
group  of  other  "debs." 


Her  summers  arc  as  gay  and  varied  as  a 
printed  silk.  To  Paris  and  the  Lido  at  Venice; 
to  Newport  to  visit  a  chum;  at  her  father's 
country  estate  at  Huntington,  on  the  famous 
North  Shore  of  Long  Island. 

But  no  matter  how  busy  she  is  with  these 
gay  good  times,  she  manages  to  give  her  youth- 
ful skin  the  care  it  needs,  rejoicing  that  so 
little  time  is  required  with  Pond's  Two  Creams, 
which  she  daily  uses  as  follows: — 

FOR  cleansing  the  skin  and  keeping  it  supple 
apply  Pond's  Cold  Cream  lavishly  every 
night  be  fore  retiring  andonceortwiceduring  the 

day,  especially  after  exposure.  Leave  it  on  a 
few  moments,  so  that  its  pure  oils  may  bring 
to  the  surface  the  dirt  which  clogs  the  pores. 
Wipe  off  all  cream  and  dirt  and  repeat,  fin- 


ishing with  a  dash  of  cold  water  or  a  rub  with 
ice.  It  your  skin  is  dry,  apply  more  cream  at 
night  and  leave  it  on  until  morning. 

FOR  a  finish,  a  powder-base  and  a  soft  protec- 
tion, apply  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream  after  a 
cleansing  with  the  Cold  Cream  and  always 
before  you  powder.  Now  your  skin  has  a  soft 
even  surface  to  which  your  powder  clings 
smoothly  and  long.  And  if  you  use  this  cream 
before  going  out,  it  will  protect  your  skin  from 
all  extremes  ot  weather,  and  from  wind,  soot 
and  dust. 

Buy  Pond's  Two  Creams — the  Cold  Cream 
now  comes  in  extra  large  jars — and  follow  this 
method  Miss  Camilla  Livingston  and  her 
friends  use  to  keep  their  skin  fresh  and  fit.  .

Confessions  of    ******* 

a  Movie  Critic 


Rose  Pelswick 


Part  III  —  Hoiv  It's  Done 


WHAT  HAS  GONE  BEFORE: 

TPHE  life  of  the  movie  critic  was 
■*■  sparklingly  related,  and  phases  of 
interviewing  celluloid  celebrities  re- 
vealed. These  concluding  chapters 
hare  the  remaining  secrets  of  the  pro- 
fession, and  then,  knowing  all,  you 
too,  may  be  able  to  be  ordained  an 
authority  on  motion  pictures,  and 
have  admiring  friends  say  to  you, 
"What  interesting  people  you  must 
meet  in  your  line  of  work!" 


PEOPLE  slop  me  on  the  street,  in  restaurants,  in  the  sub- 
way, and  even  in  the  office,  and,  holding  up  a  copy  of  last 
Thursday's  paper  in  which  I  had  interviewed  a  promi- 
nent producer  on  the  subject  of  "Has  the  Amateur 
Scenario  Writer  a  Chance?"  demand,  as  one  golf  player  to 
another,  "What  kind  of  scenarios  do  these  producers  want,  and 
is  it  true  that  you've  gotta  have  a  drag  to  get  them  accepted?" 
For  the  benefit  of  whomever  this  may  benefit,  1  have  here  out- 
lined several  favorite  situations.  If  one  company  can't  use  a 
script  based  on  them,  send  it  to  another.  Film  producers  wel- 
come amateur  scenarios,  as  the  process  encourages  the  sale  of 
postage  stamps. 

First  of  all,  there  is  the  hardened  miner  who  comes  to  Devil's 
Hollow,  and  falls  in  love  with  little  Nell,   the  miner's  nugget. 

68 


There  is  a  villain  who  tries  to  get  hold  of  the  plans — any  plans 
will  do — and  Nell  is  incriminated  to  protect  the  girl  from  the 
city.  So  the  Nature's  Nobleman  strides  into>  the  saloon  and 
shoots  up  thirty-eight  bandits  with  two  shots  of  his  gun  before 
the  Royal  Northwest  Mounted  and  the  United  States  Marines 
can  come  to  the  rescue.  After  which  Nell  shows  him  her 
mother's  picture,  which  is  in  the  locket  she  always  wears,  and 
saddling  Pinto,  they  ride  oil  happily  into  the  dawn  of  a  new- 
tomorrow. 

The  "papa  love  mama?"  motif  is  very  good.  Mrs.  Vandyke 
Schuyler  is  a  society  butterfly,  and  Mr.  Vandyke  Schuyler  is  a 
Wall  Street  Power  in  spats.  Each  goes  his  or  her  separate  ways, 
leaving  little  Imogene  Schuyler  alone,  except  for  fifteen  servants, 
in  the  palatial  mockery  o\  a  home.  Imogene  plays  in  the  back- 
yard with  the  gardener's  little  boy  and  develops  a  case  of  the 
mumps.  Both  parents  are  hastily  summoned  to  the  child's 
bedside,  and  at  the  poignant  prattle,  are  re-unitccl.  There  can 
also  be  a  lire,  a  locked  door,  and  a  faithful  dog. 

A  child  is  found  in  the  desert,  with  a  crest  embroidered  on  its 
underwear.  It  is  adopted  by  a  prominent  sheik,  and  twenty 
years  later,  a  beautiful  Boston  debutante,  commuting  on  a 
camel,  is  captured  by  wicked  Bedouins.  The  young  sheik, 
.1//  Bi  rescues  her  and  makes  fervent  protestations  of  his  love. 
There  are  desert  duels,  a  flash-back  and  a  religious  uprising, 
and  it  is  discovered,  believe  it  or  not.  that  twenty  years  ago, 
jealous  relatives  who  wanted  to  get  hold  of  the  family  emeralds,

of  energy. 

Eat  two  or  three  cakes  regularly  every  day  before 
meals:  on  crackers — in  fruit  juices,  water  or  milk — 
or  just  plain,  nibbled  from  the  cake.  For  constipation 
tspecialfy,  dissolve  one  cake  in  hot  water  {not  scalding) 
breakfast  and  at  bedtime.  Buy  several  cakes  at 
a  time — they  wijl  keep  fresh  in  a  cool  dry  place  for

"AS  WRESTLING  COACH   a( 
I     the  University  of  Michigan  I  rirst 
I    found  out  the  value-  ot  Fleisch- 
mann's Yeast.    To  a  number  ot 
'     athletes   suffering   trom    boils   and 
stomach  trouble  1  recommended  it 
as   .1    trial.    The   result 
prising.      Stomach     troubles    were 
helped  almost  at  once  while  boils 
and    skin    afflictions   soon    disap- 
peared.   At  the  Detroit  Physical 

Culture  Show,  where  I  had  a  booth, 
I  talked  with  scores  ot"  men  and 
women  who  had  benefited  by  it. 
Thus  I  (bund  that  Fleischmann's 
Yeast  helps  the  average  man  or 
woman  as  well  as  the  athlete  in 
training." 

Clifford  L.  Thorve, 

Detroit,  Mich. 


"  MY  SKIN  BROKE  OCT  in  ugly  blotches.  Fating 
irregularly  caused  stomach  trouble.  Then  I  became 
constipated.  One  day  a  friend  advised  Fleischmann's 
Yeast.  I  started  to  eat  it  that  day.  In  a  month's 
time  I  was  a  new  person.  Every  blemish  had  vanished 
from  my  skin.  My  eyes  sparkled.  My  appetite  was 
excellent.  All  as  the  result  of  Fleischmann's  Yeast." 
Ethi.l  Patrick,  Boston,  Mass. 


"AFTER  THE  WORLD  WAR,  I  returned  home 
with  health  greatly  impaired.  I  suffered  from  numer- 
ous ailments,  including  constipation.  One  day  by 
chance  I  saw  Yeast  cakes  served  in  a  restaurant.  I 
decided  to  try  them.  I  soon  noticed  I  was  getting 
back  my  appetite  and  my  constipation  was  leaving 
me.  I  am  now  feeling  fine — due  to  Fleischmann's 
Yeast."  L.  H.  Kleeber,  St.  Louis,  Mo.

The  Movie  Outline  of  History 


Second  0}  a  series  in  which  we 
present  to  you  the  movie  heroes 


Originally  came  the  knight!  He,  according  to  the  long  shots,  was  the  first  tin 
soldier.  Masked  here  behind  what  looks  like  an  ancient  and  honorable  coal 
grate  you  see  him  battling  for  his  lady  fair.  'Tis  she  semaphoring  from  the 
tower.  Such  a  knight  as  this  did  not  need  sex  appeal — just  a  real  good  heart 
and  beefy  biceps.     The  cemetery  at  the  left  is  his  own  private  resting  place  for 

his  luckless  rivals 


The  second  step  in  heroes — the 
big  army  and  navy  man.  In 
the  nick  of  time  and  the  neck  of 
the  woods  he  always  appears  to 
save  the  fainting  heroine.  Gad! 
what  a  guy!  A  strong,  severe, 
son  of  a  sea  cook 


OwUR 


And  third,  that  old,  old  cry  down  the  ages, 
"Fireman,  save  my  checild."  Out  of  the 
smoke  and  flame,  on  to  the  celluloid,  he 
comes,  our  movie  hero,  clutching  the  tooth- 
ful kiddie  and  tossing  him  out  of  camera 
range.  As  his  reward  he  wins  the  little 
widowed  mother  to  support  the  rest  of  his  life 

70 


Yet  who — or  what — can  compare  with  our  modern  hero, 
Hollywood's  great  gift  to  girls,  the  strong  silent  he-man  of 
the  great  open  shirt  front?  Pure  as  Ivory  soap,  spotless  as  a 
sepulchre,  he  is  not  a  man  to  have  his  women  trifled  with. 
One  blow.  He  hooks  the  villain,  while  beautiful  Bertha  de- 
cides to  hook  him  in  marriage.  They  are  each  other's  forever, 
or  till  alimony  does  them  part

The  expressive  hands  of  Majorie  Moss 
Graceful  English  dancer  appearing  at  the  Club 
Mirador,  New  York,says:  "  My  fingertips  must 

be  smooth  and  shapely  as  the  daintiest  care  can 
make  them!  Cutex  keeps  them  exquisitely  groomed.' 


Lady  Robert  Peel's  beautiful  hands 
Lady  Peel,  more  widely  known  as  Beatrice  Li  Hie, 
says:  "Cutex  preparations  are  indispensable  in 
giving  my  cuticle  the  smooth  roundness,  my  nails 
the  correct  accent — that  on  the  staze  are  essential." 


TtlEY   KID  TflEIH  HAND/  KEAUTIEULLY  GROOMED 


TtlLf  EXQULflTE  WAY 


ALL   over    the    world,   thousands   of 
.  women  have  solved  a  most  impor- 
tant problem  of  personal  grooming. 

It  used  to  be  such  a  difficult  thing  to 
keep  their  cuticle  smooth  and  shapely — 
with  its  provoking  way  of  growing  tight 
to  the  nail  and  splitting  off  in  shreds. 

Xow  it  is  so  simple. 

No  cutting  or  jabbing  to  injure  the 
tender  skin.  Just  a  gentle  working  around 
the  nail  base  with  the  antiseptic  liquid 
Cutex,  and  the  rims  are  freed  from  the 
nail--  quickly  and  safely — transformed  to 
the  prettiest  ovals  imaginable! 

And  every  other  detail  of  the  manicure 


is  now  cared  for  with  Cutex  preparations 
as  effectively  and  quickly. 

No  wonder  fastidious  women  every- 
where use  this  famous  method.  You  will 
find  Cutex  preparations  in  Paris,  London, 
Madrid  ...  in  all  the  smart  shops  at 
the  French  Resorts,  in  the  fashionable 
stores  on  Fifth  Avenue — places  patron- 
ized by  those  women  who  observe  the 
niceties  of  the  toilette. 

Charming  Women  Use  This  Method 

FIRST  wash  your  hands  in  warm,  soapy 
water.  Kile  the  nails.  Dip  the  orange  stick 
in  Cutex,  twist  a  bit  of  cotton  around  the  end 
and  dip  in  the  bottle  again.  Now  gently  loosen 


<c 


and  remove  the  dead  dry  skin  that  clings  to 
the  nail  base.  Pass  the  wet  stick  under  the 
nail  tips  to  clean  them  and  smooth  the  least 
bit  of  Nail  White  under  the  tips.  Now  rinse 
your  hands  again.  The  cuticle  is  smooth  and 
shapely,  the  tips  flawless.  For  the  final  touch, 
use  any  of  the  splendid  Cutex  polishes,  cake, 
paste,  powder  or  the  lasting  liquid. 

This  same  gentle  care  once  a  week  will  keep 
your  hands  lovely  always.  Buy  one  of  the 
convenient  Cutex  sets  from  3<c  to  $5.00  wher- 
ever toilet  goods  are  sold.  Separate  prepara-

Frocks  Sheer  and  Enticing 

as  you  will 

Under  the  most  trying  of  hygienic  handicaps! 

— plus  an, easydisposa]  feature  every  women  uriH  appreciate 


/ 


By  Ellen  J.  Buckland,  Qraduate  Nurse 

THE    oldest    of    hygienic    problems    re- 
mains a  problem  no  longer! 

By  perfecting  an  entirely  new  method, 
modern  science  has  supplanted  the  old-time 
sanitary  pad  with  protection  that  is  real. 

Dainty  frocks,  sheer  and  misty,  go  now 
with  care-free  minds — any  time,  any  day.  You 
are  immaculate,  and  know  it  beyond  all  doubt ! 

Factors  that  have  upset  former 

hygienic  theories 

This  new  way  is  Kotex,  the  scientific  sani- 
tary pad.  Nurses  in  wartime  France  first 
discovered  it.  It  is  made  of  the  super- 
absorbent  Cellucotton  —  covered  with  spe- 
cially processed,  soft-finished  gauze. 

There  is  no  bother,  no  expense, 
of  laundry.  Simply  discard  Kotex 
as  you  would  a  sheet  of  tissue  — 
without  embarrassment. 

It  absorbs  and  holds  instantly  sixteen 
limes  its  own  weight  in  moisture. 

It  is  five  times  as  absorbent  as  ordinary 
cotton  pads. 


Eight  in  every  ten  women  have 
adopted  this  new  way  that  solves 
woman's  oldest  hygienic  problem 
so  amazingly  by  banishing  the  un- 
certainties  of  old  methods 


Each  Kotex  pad  deodorizes  with  a  new 
secret  disinfectant — a  factor  of  greatest  im- 
portance. 

*       *       *       * 

If  you  have  not  tried  Kotex,  please  do.  It 
will  make  a  great  difference  in  your  view- 
point, in  your  peace  of  mind  and  jour  health. 

60r<<  of  many  ills,  according  to  many  lead- 
ing medical  authorities,  are  traced  to  the  use 
of  unsafe  and  unsanitary  makeshift  methods. 

Thus  today,  on  eminent  medical  advice, 
millions  are  turning  to  this  new  way. 

You  can  get  it  anywhere,  today 

Kotex  comes  in  sanitary  sealed  packages 
of  twelve,  in  2  sizes:  the  Regular,  and  Kotex- 
Super.  At  all  better  drug  and  department 
stores,  everywhere. 

Today  begin  the  Kotex  habit.  Note  the 
improvements,  mental  and  physical,  that  it 
provides.  Write  today  for  "Personal  Hy- 
giene" booklet.  Sample  of  Kotex  will  be 
mailed  you  without  charge.

Roger  lifted  surprised  eyebrows. 

"In  his  office?"  be  echoed.  "Why,  thai  will  brail  right,  I 
suppose,  but  I  rather  thought  thai  you  would  take  me  in  with

"I'd  rather  have  you  learn  the  details  of  some  other  busi-

the  ringing  of  the  alarm  clock,  dashed  into  a  cold  shower,  and 
took  Bruiser  for  a  brisk  walk  on  the  Avenue.  He  liked  the 
office,  with  its  air  of  cleanly,  dignified  dealings.  He  liked  the 
feeling  of  being  a  part  of  "big  business."  He  came  to  regard 
himself  as  a  very  important  part  of  the  firm's  financial  success. 
He  was  not  popular  in  the  office.  He  was  known — rightly — as 
a  snob. 

Roger  found  another  happiness  in  the  suddenly  awakened 
interest  displayed  in  him  by  his  father.  Burke  Trenton  spent 
many  of  his  evenings  al  home  now,  and  he  talked  with  his  son 
as  man  to  man,  concerning  business.  He  was  sympathetically 
anxious  to  know  of  Roger's  work.  He  questioned  him  as  to 
details,  how  this  and  that  was  arranged;  what  pools  his  firm 
was  participating  in;  what  mergers  were  being  contemplated. 
He  encouraged  Roger  to  find  out  things  he  did  not  know. 

Then  on  an  evening  when  he  was  twenty,  one  of  his  bored 
acquaintances  proposed  that  the  entire  ennuied  group  should 
''go  slumming"  in  the  region  of  Little  Italy;  and  for  an  explicit 
destination  take  in  the  Beauty  Ball  that  was  being  given  that 
night  at  Mussolini  Hall.  A  contest  was  being  held  among  the 
fair  maids  of  Little  Italy,  and  the  winner  was  to  have  a  trip  to 
Hollywood,  with  the  promise  of  six  weeks'  work  in  a  motion 
picture.  It  was  sure  to  be  rich,  the  competition  between  the 
wop  damsels.  Not  awfully  amusing,  of  course,  but  then  it  was 
something  with  which  to  pass  an  evening. 

.Mussolini  Hall  was  crowded  with  light  and  color  and  music. 
The  elite  of  Little  Italy  thronged  the  wide  oval  dance  floor,  and 
the  undertone  of  softly  sluffing  feet  was  like  the  sibilant  drag- 
ging of  waves  upon  a  sandy  shore.  The  music  was  joyous, 
blatant.  The  girls  were  decked  out  in  their  loudest  finery.  And 
their  dark  eyes  went,  intermittently,  hopefully,  to  the  flag- 
draped  box  at  the  end  of  the  hall,  where  in  state  sat  the  dress- 
suited  and  perfumed  rulers  of  the  ward,  with  a  group  of  rather 
bored  looking  individuals  who  were  loudly  whispered  to  be 
"  The  movie  directors!    The  guys  who  pick  the  winning  dame!" 

Roger  had  dropped  his  air  of  boredom  as  completely  as  if  he 
had  checked  it  at  the  door  with  his  hat  and  topi  coat.  For  he 
was  dancing  with  Gianina.  It  was  the  fourth  time  he  had 
danced  with  her.  He  found  in  her  an  instinct  for  rhythm  that 
matched  his  own.     Her  beauty  was  not  the  full  blown,  heavy- 


bosomed  type  of  the  eagerly  dancing  girl-  about  them.  She 
was  exquisitely  slender:  her  -kin  was  the  creamy  white  of  the 
magnolia,  and  her  great  dark  eyes  had  the  tiniest  upward  slant 
at  the  outward  corner-.  Her  mouth  was  richly  red.  It  was 
not  a  sensual  mouth.  Rather  was  it  humorous  fastidious,  im- 
personal. They  had  found  each  other  quite  by  accident.  Not 
only  the  superficial  finding  that  an  introduction  had  accom- 
pli-hed.  but  the  deeper,  inner  sense  of  kindred  spirits  come 
suddenly  upon  each  other.  Their  minds  were  grooved  to  fit 
each  other.  They  danced  without  talking.  But  between  the 
intermissions  they  chatted  like  children. 

"  You  are  just  the  same.  I  would  have  known  you  anywhere. " 
he  declared  for  the  fifth  time. 

"You  look  a  lot  the  same  loo."  she  answered,  "except  that 
you  are  cleaner. " 

They  laughed  happily  at  that. 

"I  still  have  my  dog.  Bruiser. — the  puppy  vou  started  the 
fight  for." 

"Oh,  have  you  really?  Funny  little  dog.  wasn't  he?  One 
black  eye.  I  remember  he  looked  a-  if  he  had  been  in  a  tight 
himself." 

It  did  not  occur  to  him  to  be  surprised  al  Gianina's  diction 
and  poise.  She  could  not  have  been  her  exquisite  self  without 
them.  He  did  not  know  that  on  the  day  of  the  fight,  some 
eight  years  ago,  her  ear  had  caught  the  inflection  of  a  style  of 
language  new  to  her.  She  had  liked  it.  And  she  had  adapted 
it  painstakingly,  through  schooling  and  observation,  until  it 
had  become  a  part  of  her. 

That  night  the  teeter-totter  was  poised.  It  was  at  rest. 
They  could  have  come  to  the  middle  of  it  then,  and  clasped 
hands.  Already  their  minds  were  reaching  out  to  each  other. 
And  their  eyes  were  bridging  the  gap  between  them.  They 
smiled  at  each  other  now  with  a  kind  of  wonder — they  danced 
again,  and  then  again. 

YOU  picked  a  super-gorgeous  wop  femme,  "  remarked  one  of 
Roger's  friends  enviously  in  the  next  intermission. — 
"beauty,  isn't  she?  Funny  about  these  wop  girls,  how  they  get 
their  good  looks.     Take  a  slant  at  her  old  man!" 

Roger  looked.  And  it  was  as  if  an  icy  shower  called  him 
gaspingly  out  of  a  warm  and  pleasant  dream. 

Her  father!  That  fat  Italian  grocer  with  the  bulging  eyes  and 
the  bristling  black  mustachios!  He  felt  suddenly  sick  and 
weak.  He  excused  himself  with  only  a  muttered  word,  and  left 
the  hall.  He  walked  fiercely,  interminably.  Fool!  Crazy  fool! 
A  girl  of  that  class!  To  have  thought  of  loving  her — of  marry- 
ing her — he,  Roger  Trenton,  giving  hi-  name  to  the  daughter  of 
a  wop  grocer — fool — unspeakable  fool — 

Gianina's  eyes  searched  hopefully  for  him  at  the  beginning  oi 
the  next  fox  trot.  She  said.  "No."  in  swift,  impatient  succession 
to  a  score  of  -leek-haired  youths  from  The  Street.

'"Two  type^ 
cable  and  coil 


Vilma  Banky,  the  beautiful,  the  bevv  itching  and  the  non-vapid 

The  Girl  on  the  Cover 

By  Cal  York 


IT  took  just  one  picture  to  make  Vilma 
Banky  a  star.  That  was  "The  Hark 
Angel."  After  that  single  picture  with  its 
glimpses  of  the  gold  of  Yilma's  hair,  the  wise, 
subtle  lights  of  Yilma's  exes,  the  knowing 
charm  of  Yilma's  smile,  the  struggle  was  all 
o\  er  and  her  success  begun. 

Vilma  came  from  Budapest.  Not  that  she 
was  born  there.  Actually  she  was  born  in  the 
country  a  bit  outside  thai  capital  but  she  moved 
into  the  cily  when  she  was  three  years  of  age, 
which  move,  incidentally,  was  just  twenty 
years  ago. 

She  grew  up.  as  is  the  custom  even  in  Hun- 
gary, and  outside'  of  a  love  of  books  and  music 
she  had  no  particular  urge  in  life.  The  family 
was  well  fixed  and  Vilma  was  beautiful.  So. 
why  worry? 

she  never  would  have  had  to  do  so  except 
for  the  war.  That  upsel  things  for  her  as  well 
as  other  people.  \\  hen  ii  was  over  Vilma  was 
laced  with  the  prol  lent  of  working  or  not  eat- 
ing.    And  she  liked  to  eat. 

but  no  girl  with  a  face  like  Yilma's  can  really 
starve.  She  met  Bela  balagh  who  is  a  Hun- 
garian movie  director.  He  put  her  1  el'ore  the 
camera.  His  productions  called  her  to  the  at- 
tention  of  UFA  who  put  her  under  contract  to 
work  for  them  in  Berlin  and  Budapest. 


Enter  now  upon  the  scene  Mr.  Samuel  Gold 
wyn  of  Hollywood,  U.  S.  A. 

Samuel  had  heard  of  Vilma  and  Yilma's  com- 
pany had  heard  oi  Samuel.  Mr.  Goldwyn 
wanted  to  get  to  .Miss  Hanky  but  the  Gloria 
Film  Company,  the  producing  unit  of  UFA 
for  which  Vilma  worked,  didn't  want  Miss 
Banky  to  get  to  him  So  they  kept  the  golden 
Vilma  working  so  busily  the  scouting  American 
was  una!  le  to  see  her  until  it  was  almost  time 
for  him  to  return  to  America. 

A  wise,  kind  America-loving  somebody, 
however,  told  the  young  lady  about  the  oppor- 
tunity that  was  hanging  in  the  balance.  She 
rushed  to  Mr  Goldwyn  and  caught  him  an 
hour  before  train  time.  In  that  hour  she  signed 
the  contract  that  brought  her  over  here. 

Her  first  love  scenes  in  "The  Dark  Angel"' 
opposite  Ronald  Colman,  drove  weak  women 
to  tears  and  strong  men  to  poetry.  Her  second 
picture,  when  she  was  farmed  out  to  Valentino, 
"The  Eagle,"  proved  her  so  valuable  that  Mr. 
Goldwyn  decided  he  couldn't  afford  to  loan 
her  again  to  any  other  organization,  forth- 
with he  purchased  "Beauty  and  the  Beast 
and  "The  Garden  o\  Allah,"  that  temptuous, 
torrid  romance  of  Robert  Hilchens.  just  for 
her.  All  of  which  simply  goes  to  show  what 
happens  when  a  girl  like  Vilma  starts  at  work.

D^ow  —This  fine  hard-milled  soap  keeps 
your  skin  smooth -fragrant -youthful 


Look  closely  at  an  exquisite 
complexion.  Notice  its  clean, 
fine  texture,  delicate  as  the 
petals  of  a  flower.  Pores  are 
practically  invisible. 

The  Safest  Beauty 
Treatment 

Cleanliness  is  the  surest  way 
to  enviable  skin.  But  cleanli- 
ness is  not  mere  application  of 
soap  and  water.  Care  in  select- 
ing the  soap  you  use  is  most 
important. 

Choose  Cashmere  Bouquet  as  the 
soap  for  your  face  and  hands.  It 
is  "hard-milled",  which  means  the 
cake  is  hard  and  firm — not  the  least 
bit  squdgy.  With  Cashmere  Bou- 
quet only  enough  soap  penetrates 
the  pores  to  cleanse  them.  Thus  no 
soap  stays  in  the  pores.  It  all  dis- 
solves bringing  dust  and  dirt  out 
with  it,  leaving  the  pores  clean  and 


unstifled,  which  is  the  way  nature 
meant  them  to  be. 

Expert  dermatologists,  physicians 
who  know  all  about  skin,  say  water 
and  the  right  soap  should  be  used 
every  day  to  keep  skin  smooth  and 
youthful. 

Cashmere  Bouquet  is  the  right  soap. 
Its  fragrant  lather  is  so  gentle,  so 
cleansing,  that  it  fairly  caresses  your 
skin  and  leaves  it  soft  and  lovely. 

Careful  special  processes  make 
Cashmere  Bouquet  safe  for  your 
daily  use.  This  "hard-milled  "  cake 
is  pressed  into  almost  marble  firm- 
ness. Secret  essences  are  added  to 
give  that  indescribable  fragrance 
that  prompts  so  many  to  lay 
a  cake  of  Cashmere  Bou- 
quet among  their  choic- 
est fabric  treasures. 

But  let's  get 
back  to  the 
subject  of 
Cashmere 
Bouquet  and 
your  skin.

We  twOj  together 
at  a  window 
in  Cathay 

"(IT  ivas  like  a  dream — as  if  we 
f  two  sat  silently  together  at  a 
window  in  Cathay,  a  thousand 
years  ago,  breathing  the  faint 
breath  of  a  far  rose-garden  all 
silver  in  the  moonlight.  The  mys- 
tery of  it  seemed  to  cling  about 
you  like  a  veil  of  enchantment." 
FROM  HER  DIARY:

t~l  last  night.  I  know  the  temple  in- 

«-'  cense  did  it." 

£VEN  the  air  about  them  served  the  lovely 
(_,  women  of  other  days  to  add  mystery  and 
allure  to  all  their  loveliness,  by  the  subtle  power 
of  temple  incense.  Vantine*s  Temple  Incense 
brings  to  women  of  today  the  same  power  to 
create  that  strange  exotic  charm.  In  six  exquisite 
fragrances,  at  drug  and  department  stores. 

What  dreams  will  incense  create  about  you?

As  he  paused  for  breath,  in  the  middle  of  bis 
selling  talk,  Hebe  cut  in: 

"Yes,  I  know.  The  two  ;-'irls  turned  out  to 
te  wax  figures." 

And  while  the  salesman  was  recovering  from 
the  blow,  Bebe  stepped  on  the  gas  and  v.  a- 
gone. 

nrilK  movies  have  gained  a  new  value. 
■*■  You  remember  the  story  told  of  Kinu' 
Solomon,  the  wisest  man  who  ever  lived.  Two 
women  came  before  him.  each  claiming  to  be 
the  rightful  mother  of  a  certain  child.  Then- 
were,  no  records  to  prove  which  of  them  was 
idling  the  trutli  and  which  was  lying.  So  Solo- 
mon ordered  a  sword  brought  to  him.  He 
announced  that  he  would  divide  the  baby  in 
two  and  give  half  to  one  woman  and  half  to  the 
other.  The  one  woman  remained  calm.  The 
other  wept,  and  cried  out  that  the  child  be 
spared.  It  was  to  her  that  Solomon  awarded 
the  infant. 

Now  the  movies,  taking  the  place  of  Solo- 
mon, have  recorded  just  such  a  judgment. 
With  the  all  seeing,  unprejudiced  eye  of  the 
camera,  the  emotional  reaction  of  two  women 
brought  together  before  the  court  has  been 
secured. 

It  was  Pathe  News  who  made  the  "scoop." 
Pathe  was  called  into  a  Detroit  courtroom  to 
help  decide  by  its  filming  of  two  "mothers" 
emotional  reaction  which  of  them  loved  little 
Irene  Przybla  best. 

TRENE  had  been  born  to  Mrs.  Julie  Przybla 
-•-before  her  mother  was  married.  Her  care  was 
given  to  Mrs.  Przybla's  sister,  Mrs.  Irene 
Gossens.  Mrs.  Gossens  loved  the  little  girl 
and  cherished  her,  from  those  little  baby  days 
up  to  the  time  that  she  could  patter  about  and 
talk  a  bit. 


.  Then  Mis.  Przybla  married.  She  announced 
she  wanted  her  baby  back  a-rain.  She  was  her 
rightful  mother.    She  wanted  her  child. 

Hut  Mrs.  Gossens  wanted  her.  too.  She  had 
grown  so  used  to  having  little  Irene  about. 
And  so  they  went  to  court. 

Judge  Vincent  Brennan,  faced  with  the 
problem,  ordered  the  cameramen  in.  By  a 
simple  statement  that  movies  were  being  taken 
of  the  whole  courtroom  the  two  women's  at- 
tention was  kept  from  the  camera.  There  were 
three  dummy  camera.-  and  one  actually  loaded 
with  film. 

It  was  when  Jud^'e  Brennan  announced  his 
verdict  that  the  child  would  be  sent  to  an 
orphanage  that  the  masterful  scene  recorded 
above  was  caught.  Mrs.  Gossens  (left)  burst 
into  tears  that  streamed  down  her  tortured 
face. 

Mrs.  Przybla  showed  simple  astonishment. 

After  viewing  the  finished  negative,  the

"  CAY.  partner,  that  horse  you're  leading  is 

^pretty  lame." 

A  lean-faced  man  stopped  a  horse-drawn 
vehicle  at  a  busy  Los  Angeles  crossing.  Be- 
hind the  truck  another  horse  limped  painfully. 

"We're  taking  him  to  the  stable."  explained 
the  driver  of  the  truck.  "He  went  lame  on  us 
up  the  street." 

"But  you  can't  go  any  farther  with  the  poor 
animal."  the  lean-faced  man  protested.  "Can't 
you  see  it's  in  great  pain?" 

Two  traffic  officers,  attracted  by  the  crowd 
that  had  gathered  around  the  truck,  came  up 
and  investigated.  Then  they  ordered  the  driver 
to  send  for  a  horse  ambulance.   This  was  done.

CONRAD  NAGEL 

Brilliant  idol  of  the  screen,  gives  new  reason 
for  beauty  and  loveliness  of  modern  woman 


J  have  noticed"  he  says,  "that  women 
who  possess  an  entrancingly  glow- 
ing skin,  almost  invariably  attri- 
bute its  loveliness  to  the  magic  effect 
of  OPAL  HUES." 

WHO  could  be  better  qualified  than  he 
to  discern  the  real  reason  why  famous 
stars  are  lovelier  than  ever  before,  not  only 
as  you  see  them  on  the  screen,  but  face-to- 
face  before  the  camera,  in  the  harsh  light  of 
the  studios? 

No  beauty  standards  are  higher  or  more  ex- 
acting than  in  the  movies.  For  the  camera 
misses  nothing.  Under  the  cruel  glare  of  the 
Klieg-lights,  every  feature,  every  blemish, 
every  detail  of  skin  texture  and  complexion 
stands  out  in  sharp  relief.  No  test  is  more 
severe.  No  light  is  half  so  searching. 

Under  these  trying  lighting  conditions  Mr. 
Nagel  constantly  observes  the  famous  stars 
whose  radiant  beauty  baffles  the  unflatter- 
ing lens  of  the  camera.  Little  wonder  then 
that  he  says,  "I  am  for  anything  that  en- 
hances the  beauty  of  beautiful  womanhood 
and  Peter  Pan  OPAL  HUE  Beauty  Powder 
certainly  does  that."

MOST  clever  women  already  know  of 
Peter  Pan  OPAL  HUE  Beauty  Pow- 
der— that  strange  new  powder  impregnated 
with  myriads  of  elusive  OPAL  HUES.  These 


rare,  precious,  cleverly  blended  OPAL 
HUES  impart  to  the  features  instantly  a 
smart  new  beauty  that  reveals  utmost 
beauty  in  every  light — bright  light,  soft 
light,  spot  light  or  sun  light. 

Peter  Pan  was  originally  created  by  Fallis 
for  the  personal  use  of  leading  stars  of  the 
stage  and  screen.  So  remarkable  were  the 
results  produced  by  its  soft,  tiny  OPAL 
HUES  that  the  secret  of  its  amazing  power 
soon  became  more  generally  known.  Smart 
New  York  society  instantly  seized  upon  this 
strange  new  powder.  Its  many  beautiful 
women  became  more  lovely  than  ever  by 
its  use.  Now  practically  every  clever  wom- 
an finds  Peter  Pan  indispensable  —  her 
most  precious  beauty  requisite. 

Of  course  Peter  Pan  must  be  infinitely 
more  than  a  face  powder.  It  is  really  a 
beauty  treatment  —  every  time  you  pow- 
der.   Of  finest   ingredients  —  stays  on  for

A  good  looking  comb,  like  a  good 
looking  home  —  or  a  good  look- 
ing automobile — inspires  a  pride 
in  possession. 

Ajax  combs  command  a  certain 
admiration  for  their  beautiful, sleek 
black  appearance  —  for  their  mod- 
ishly  distinctive  lines. 

Perhaps  that's  why  women  who 
know  insist  on  Ajax  combs  for 
themselves  and  for  the  members  of 
their  family.  Or  perhaps  it's  because 
Ajax  combs  in  addition  to  being 
good  looking  are  good  wearing, 
good  for  the  hair — good ! 

Ajax  Combs  are  sold  through 
leading  department,  drug  and 
specialty  stores  everywhere  and

Here,  we  have  the  Shearer  shingle  simplified.  It's  so  simple  it  isn't. 
Normals  merely  cheating  when  she  gives  her  ears  the  orone.  She 
tucks  her  locks  back  in  a  French  roll  to  play  an  earful  flapper,  or 
lets  the  locks  come  softly  forth  to  portray  the  sweet  kid  she  really  is 


"Just  a  minute,''  said  one  of  the  ofti  ers. 
"What's  your  name?  \Yc  might  want  to  reach 
you  about  this  case." 

"William  S.  Hart,"  said  the  lean-faced  man. 

LEATRICE  JOY'S  feelings  are  hurt  because 
of  the  stories  going  around  that  she  is  flighty 
and  was  unable  to  make  up  her  mind  whether 
she  loved  John  Gilbert  during  their  married 
life. 

In  a  personal  chat  Lcatrice  said,  "Xo  one 
knows  more  than  I  that  Jack  has  lovable  quali- 
ties and  many  admirable  ones.  I  have  seen 
him  give  up  chances  to  gain  advantages  lor 
himself,  because  lie  refused  to  be  a  humbug. 
He  is  sincere  to  a  fault.  But  his  temperament 
is  that  of  a  poet  living  on  the  heights.  He  re- 
fuses to  be  annoyed  with  everyday  things. 

"When  Elinor  Glyn  one  time  remonstrated 
with  Jack  for  surrounding  himself  with  the  or- 
dinary domestic  background  of  a  happy  wife 
and  baby,  she  told  him  such  a  state  was  un- 
thinkable for  a  romantic  lover.  I  guess  Jack 
believed  her.  Well,  Mme.  Glyn  may  have 
given  the  world  a  great  actor — but  at  what  a 
cost !  " 

And  Leatrice  sighed. 

LARRY  TRIMBLE,  whose  ability  at  train- 
ing dogs  for  picture  work  has  won  him  many 
plaudits — more  noticeably  in  the  instance  of 
the  celebrated  "Strongheart."  was  recently 
asked  to  contribute  an  article  to  a  national 
magazine  on  the  raising  of  pups.  Being  some- 
what of  a  scribe.  Larry  obliged,  but  not  without 
disastrous  results. 

All  the  dog  owners  and  dog  lovers  in  the 
Country  deluged  him  with  letters  concerning 
the  peculiarities  of  purps.  but  the  prize  letter 
arrived  from  a  woman  in  Missouri,  who  wrote: 

"  Please  advise  me  how  to  slop  my  dog  from 
killing  the  neighbors'  chickens.  Unless  I  do 
something  to  cure  him  of  the  habit,  they 
threaten  to  shoot  him.  This  is  urgent.  Don't 
write,  wire!" 

And  Larry  wired: 

"Shoot  the  chickens  or  tie  the  dog.  Letter 
follows." 

CHARLEY  CHASE  breezed  into  New  York 
recently,  hoping  to  pick  up  a  gag  or  two  for 

the  comedies  he  makes  for  Hal  Roach.  Char 
ley  knows  what's  funny  and  what  isn't.  lie 
-ays  crossed  eyes  is  the  only  deformity  that 
teople  will  laugh  at. 

And  this  reminded  him  of  a  good  one. 
Nothing  to  Ao  with  crossed  exes,  however. 

A  fellow  proposed  to  a  girl  who  was  era  y 


al  out  jewels.  She  said  she  would  marry  him  if 
he  would  buy  her  a  certain  diamond  dog  collar 
that  she  admired.  Being  in  moderate  circum- 
stances, the  chap  had  a  tough  time  of  it.  but 
after  five  years  he  was  able  to  purchase  the 
diamond  collar. 

but  when  lie  brought  it  to  the  girl  he  found 
she  had  developed  a  goitre  and  it  took  him 
two  more  years  to  get  sufficient  diamonds  to 
make  it  lit. 

■""THE  Winning  of  Barbara  Worth"  will 
•*-  really  be  made  at  last.  In  spite  of  the 
several  contests  run  to  find  a  girl  to  play  Bar- 
bara Worth,  the  role  is  to  be  done  by  Yilma 
Bank}-. 

When  production  of  this  Harold  Bell  Wright 
novel  was  begun  three  years  ago.  Florence 
Vidor  was  cast  for  the  title  role.  Harold  Bell 
Wright  thought  Florence  was  the  ideal  Bar- 
bara Worth,  and  we  thought  so  too.  at  the 
time.  Actual  filming  did  not  begin,  however, 
due  to  unfavorable  conditions  in  Imperial 
Valley,  California,  the  locale  of  the  story.  A 
few  months  ago  a  contest  was  begun  to  find 
another  Barbara.  This  time  Marceline  Day. 
a  Wampas  Star,  was  chosen. 

Xow  the  story  has  changed  hands  and  an 
entirely  new  cast  is  being  assembled.  Sol  Les- 
ser has  sold  the  rights  to  "The  Winning  of 
Barbara  Worth"  to  Samuel  Goldwyn,  and 
Yilma  Banky  and  Ronald  Colman  will  do  the 
picture.  Henry  King,  who  directed  "Stella 
Dallas."  will  direct. 

BEBF  DANIELS  >vas  saved  from  serious  in- 
jury the  other  day  by  her  hair. 

Not  by  a  hair's  breadth,  however,  but  by  her 
luxuriant  crop  of  black  hair.  Her  latest  picture 
— a  female  version  of  "Brewster's  Millions" 
with  Bebe  as  Miss  Brewster  who  crashes  into 
pictures — called  for  her  to  do  some  dare-devil 
stunts  that  made  her  Lloydian  exploits,  in  the 
days  when  she  and  Harold  appeared  together 
in  comedies,  diminish  in  proportion  to  the 
value  of  the  mark. 

Hebe  wouldn't  have  a  double.  When  the 
script  called  for  her  to  transfer  from  a  speeding 
motor  to  a  bicycle,  Bebe  did.  But  the  bicycle 
swerved  ami  bebe  landed  on  her  precious  head. 
After  lirst  aid  was  given  at  the  Lasky  Hospital. 
Hebe  was  taken  home  where  she  remained  for 
several  days  before  returning  to  the  pictures.

Friendly  Advice 
from  Carolyn  Van  Wyck. 


Her  Letter 


DEAR  CAROLYN  VAN  WYCK: 
Here  I  am  at  the  crossroads  and  I 
don't  know  what  to  do.  J\ly  trouble  is 
i  be  boys  won't  look  at  me.  I  want  boy  friends. 
Sometime  I  want  to  get  married,  but  that's  not 
what's  troubling  me  now.  Right  now  I  want 
boys  for  friends,  not  beaux.  All  my  girl  friends 
are  beginning  to  have  hoy  friends.  1  haven't 
got  one  and  I  feel  so  out  of  it.  When  we  go  on 
parties,  I  am  always  the  extra  girl.  I  am  con- 
sidered very  pretty.  I'm  healthy  and  happy. 
This  is  the  only  trouble  I've  ever  had. 

To  be  very  frank,  I've  not  so  many  girl 
friends',  either.  Mostly  they  are  acquaint- 
ances, school  chums,  girls  I've  grown  up  with — 
but  not  friends.  One  or  two  are  very  close  to 
me,  but  I  am  not  what  you  can  truly  call 
popular. 

Perhaps  it  is  my  commonplaceness 
1  hat  is  to  blame.  I've  never  learned  to 
dance  or  play.  I'm  not  a  very  good  con- 
versationalist. But  I  feel  I  could  be  a 
good  friend  to  lots  of  people,  particularly 
boys.  I  want  to  be  popular.  And 
some  day  I  want  to  be  a  good  wife. 


overweight,  except  in  cases  of  illness  is  mere 
slackness.  So  is  a  shiny  nose  or  a  shiny,  dusty 
hat  brim.  Be  neat  and  an  initial  round  of  the 
battle  is  won. 

It  costs  money  to  learn  to  dance,  or  play  the 
piano  or  twang  a  ukelele  but  the  twin  arts  of 
listening  and  conversing  can  be  cultivated  by 
the  poorest  girl. 

Every  girl  who  wants  to  be  popular  should 
learn  to  talk  well.  To  talk  well  you  must 
think  clearly  and  to  think  clearly  you  must  be 
interested  in  your  subject.  The  trouble  with 
most  of  us  is  that  we  are  not  actually  inter- 
ested in  anything.  It  seems  sometimes  as 
though  most  of  us  are  only  one-third  alive. 
The  other  two-thirds  of  our  personalities  are 
engaged  in  dreaming  and  ageing.  It  is  the 
intelligent,  successful  individual  who  assembles 
the  whole  personality  into  one  unit  and  makes 


My  Answer 


The  price  of  friendship. 

Are  you  willing  to  pay  it,  my  young 
correspondent? 

Friendship  has  a  price,  you  know. 
Popularity  is  not  something  that  grows 
up  around  us  automatically.  Popularity 
and  friendships  are  as  surely  earned  as 
dollars  and  cents.  Some  people  earn 
friendships  more  easily,  just  as  some 
earn  money  more  easily,  because  their 
natural  talents  are  more  highly  devel- 
oped. But  just  as  it  is  possible  for  everyone 
who  has  the  desire  to  earn  a  living,  so  is  it  pos- 
sible to  earn  popularity. 

It  is  courageous  to  admit  "commonplace- 
ness."' It  gives  you  an  honest  starling  point, 
and  only  that.  Since  you  know  you  are  now 
'"commonplace,"  there's  hope.  You  can  get 
over  it. 

The  price  of  friendship  is  work.  The  qual- 
ities that  earn  friendship  are  the  products  of 
courtesy  and  charm. 

The  first  necessity  for  popularity,  particu- 
larly with  boys,  is  good  appearance. 

Beauty  is  not  imperative.  While  beauty  at- 
tracts us  all,  while  we  all  want  to  possess 
beauty,  we  are  rarely  interested  in  the  in- 
dividual behind  a  beautiful  face.  Few  are  ever 
true  friends  to  a  beautiful  woman.  Thus  line 
features  arc  as  apt  to  be  obstacles  as  aids  to 
Friendship. 

Prettiness,  however,  is  a  true  asset.  With 
good  grooming,  good  health,  careful  diet  and  a 
good  carriage  of  the  body,  every  girl  can  seem 
to  possess  prettiness,  whether  her  features  are 
regular  or  not.  And  simulated  prettiness  will 
do  just  as  well  as  real  prettiness  in  the  long  run 
to  the  altar. 

Good  grooming  comes  from  the  hair  brush, 
the  clothes  brush,  the  bathtub,  the  green 
vegetable  die!  andtheflal  iron.  A  lack  of  good 
grooming  is  laziness.    Getting  underweight  or

The  Price  of  Friendship 

Is  This  Month's  Problem 

Write  me  your  problems.  If  you  desire  a 
personal  reply  in  matters  that  need  understand- 
ing rather  than  rules,  I  will  be  glad  to  send  it. 
Enclose  a  stamped  and  addressed  envelope  for 
reply. 

In  addition  I  have  had  printed  for  you  directions 
for  obtaining  any  desired  improvement  in  your 
appearance — advice  on  diet,  reducing,  increasing 
weight,  care  of  skin,  general  health.  Send  a 
stamped  and  addressed  envelope  for  them. 


himself  or  herself  a  personage.  Most  of  us 
gossip.  We  chatter,  about  friends,  the  1  oss, 
the  weather.  And  the  things  we  say  are  of  so 
little  interest  of  anyone,  ourselves  included, 
that  it  wouldn't  really  matter  if  we  were  struck 
dumb  the  next  moment. 

It's  rather  shameful,  I  think.  The  world  is 
so  full  of  literally  billions  of  things  we  ought  all 
be  as  filled  with  interesting  talk  and  interesting 
viewpoints  as  Niagara  is  full  of  power.  In  this 
limited  space  I  can  not  detail  the  many  sub- 
jects on  which  a  girl  desiring  popularity  should 
be  able  to  talk,  but  I  think  any  girl  who  does 
not  go  to  her  local  public  library  and  learn  a 
little  about  the  seven  arts,  who  does  not  go  to 
the  back  of  her  newspaper  and  learn  a  little 
about  sports— this  for  the  boy  friends — who 
can  not  talk  of  fashions,  the  theatre,  and  books. 
is  just  a  social  slacker. 

If  this  seems  too  difficult  or  to  demand  too 
much  time,  there  is  listening.  Talking  will 
make  you  happier  and  listening  will  make  the 
other  person  happier,  so  use  your  judgment  on 
the  indrv  idual  and  the  occasion 

Good  listening  is  the  quality  of  making  the 
other  person  talk  interestingly.  1  knew  a 
woman  once  without  much  education,  but  with 
a  great  fund  of  native  good  sense  who  had 
cultivated  the  art  of  listening  to  a  fine  science. 
When  the  conversation  got  too  deep  for  her 
she  would  say  "Ah.  Keats"  in  a  rapt  voice,  if 


the  poet  happened  to  be  the  subject,  or  "Ah, 
Valesquez,"  if  painting  was  being  discussed. 
No  one  was  ever  positive  that  she  didn't  know 
of  the  celebrity  being  talked  of.  Thus  she 
paved  her  social  way.  since  all  the  speaker 
wants  to  be  sure  of.  in  such  a  situation,  is  that 
he  has  an  appreciative  listener  who  is  urging 
him  on  to  show  off  his  cultural  knowledge. 

In  listening,  then,  be  really  interested. 
Don't  simply  sit  silent  and  look  at  your  shoes. 
Question  the  speaker,  draw  him  out — use  him 
deliberately — bolster  up  his  ego  by  giving  him 
your  complete  attention.  Then  wait  and  see. 
You  will  no  longer  need  be  lonelv  in  the  moon- 
light. 

Courtesy,  too.  is  simply  interest  in  the  other 
person.    If  you  are  truly  polite,  you  are  never 
uninterested   in   your   associate.     The   little 
manners,  the  thoughtful  courtesies — they  in- 
clude such  things  as  remembering  what 
brands  of  cigarettes,  candy  and  soap 
your  friends  prefer,  how  man}'  lumps  of 
su'jar  in  their  tea — these  are  charms 
within  any  girl's  reach.    They  are  more 
flattering  to  your  friends  than  a  carload 
of  roses. 

Finally,  if  you  can  possibly  attain  it. 
a  parlor  stunt.  Sitting  at  home  and  ex- 
pecting popularity  to  come  to  you  be- 
cause you  are  a  pretty  girl  born  of  a  nice 
family  is  hopeless.  You  must  earn  your 
way  socially.  The  girl  who  can  plav  the 
latest  popular  tune;  the  girl  who  is  an 
accomplished  sportswoman;  the  girl  who 
can  dance  anything  from  a  fox-trot  to  a 
Charleston:  the  girl  who  can  read  cards 
or  palms  or  handwriting  or  tell  fortunes 
from  tea  leaves — any  one  of  a  hundred 
little  parlor  stunts,  that  girl  has  her  price 
of  popularity  in  her  hand  and  a  well 
established   friendship'  credit.

There  are  many  things  to  be  taken  into 
consideration  in  the  purchase  of  facial  creams. 
Climate  is  one  of  them.  A  tendency  toward 
dry  skin  combined  with  life  in  a  windy,  cold 
atmosphere  which  in  turn  probably  means 
living  in  a  steam  heated  house  must  be  com- 
bated with  treatments  that  bring  oil  and  fats 
to  the  skin.  You  say  that  you  have  a  good 
complexion  with  quite  a  lot  of  color.  That 
sounds  to  me  as  though  it  were  in  very  good 
condition,  indeed,  and  the  preparations  you 
are  using  were  being  beneficial.  Cleansing 
creams  are  not  usually  used  in  combination 
with  soap  and  water.  They  are  intended 
to  take  the  place  of  soap.  Most  vanishing 
creams  have  a  drying  tendency.  With  your 
skin  already  dry  I  would  advise  you  against 
the  use  of  artificial  astringents.  For  your  com- 
plexion either  a  light  or  dark  rachel  powder 
would  be  excellent  and  a  dark  red  or  a  carna- 
tion pink  lipstick,  depending  upon  which  color 
best  compliments  your  eyes.  A  little  ex- 
perimenting will  tell  you  and  the  right  rouge 
shade  is  worth  the  cost  it  takes  to  discover  it. 
The  best  all  around  exercise  for  one  who 
doesn't  want  to  reduce  but  does  want  to  keep 
fit  is  the  squatting  exercise  combined  with  an 
arm  movement.  Standing  with  the  feet  close

Science  has  produced  an  invention 
that  reads  your  hair 


The  Nestle  Meter 
Scale  Tests  Your 
Hair  in  Advance 

The  Nestle  Laboratory  in  Seiv 
York  offers  a  personal  sc 
hy  mail  that  auls  your  Nestle 
Permanent  Waiter  to  product 

the  perfect  Permanent  H'wve. 


MR.  C.  NESTLE,  international 
authority  on  hair,  has  solved  the 
problem  of  permanent  waving. 
Among  other  famous  men,  Professor 
Metchnikoff,  of  the  Pasteur  Institute 
of  Paris,  declared  in  1909  that  Mr. 
Nestle's  invention  of  the  permanent 
wave  "is  the  greatest  step  forward  in 
hair  science  ever  made  for  the  comfort 
of  women." 

The  New  Nestle  Meter  Scale — 
a  great  advance 

Now,  Mr.  Nestle  brings  forth  an  in- 
vention of  as  much  importance  to  the 
study  of  human  hair  as  the  X-Ray  is 
to  the  human  body. 
This  is  a  machine  that  literally  reads1' 
your  hair  — that  rn>eals  its  special  charac- 
teristics and  forever  takes  the  guess  out  of 
the  permanent  wave. 

The  Nestle  Meter  Scale  removes  a 
great  responsibility  from  the  operator. 
Guided  by  its  readings,  the  permanent 
waver  knows  exactly  what  kind  of  hair 
you  really  have  and  exactly  how  to  wave 
it  for  perfect  results. 


These  readings  give  him  insight  and 
foresight,  discover  what  the  eye  can- 
not see,  and  so  make  possible  a  new 
system  of  permanent  waving  that  is 
adaptable  to  every  head  of  hair:  — 

The  Nestle  Circuline  Process 
for  perfect  permanent  waving 

This  is  a  personalized  treatment  de- 
signed to  carry  out  "to  the  letter," 
the  readings  of  the  Nestle  Meter  Scale. 
Whether  your  hair  be  normal,  snow- 
white,  black,  bleached  or  dyed — 
whether  you  want  a  tight,  medium  or 
loose  wave  —  any  one  of  the  6,000 
Nestle  Wavers  can  produce  it.

When  it  came,  the  snows  of  winter  were  piled 
up  outside  my  window  but  as  I  read  it, 
it  so  warmed  my  heart  I  thought  I  was

estate.  It  was  Charles  de  Roche  who 
played  the  role  of  Pharaohm  "The  Ten 
Commandments"  and  it  was  Edythe 
Chapman  who  played  Richard  Dix's 
mother.  So,  you  like  Monte  Blue  bet-

there's  those  who  agree  with  you.

Wfoman  to  woman 

Knowledge  passes  rapidly 
concerning  feminine  hijgiene 

IN  certain  circles  there  is  a  frank 
discussion  of  this  subject,  but  there 
are  other  women  who  constantly 
stumble  along  unguided.  Many  of 
them,  of  course,  believe  they  know  the 
truth,  but  their  knowledge  usually 
goes  no  further  than  the  employment 
of  poisonous  antiseptics,  such  as 
bichloride  of  mercury  and  various 
compounds  of  carbolic  acid. 

New  discovery  banishes  risks 

Doctors  will  tell  you  that  most 
compounds  of  carbolic  acid  are  saponi- 
fied in  an  effort  to  reduce  the  burning 
effect,  but  nevertheless  they  remain 
corrosive  in  their  action.  Scar-tissue 
and  hardening  of  the  membrane  fre- 
quently follow  their  use. 

Fortunately  it  is  no  longer  necessary 
to  run  these  risks.  There  is  a  new  anti- 
septic and  germicide  called  Zonite.  It 
is  immensely  powerful  and  yet  abso- 
lutely yion-poisonoJis.  Zonite  is  far 
more  powerful  than  any  dilution  ot 
carbolic  acid  that  can  be  applied  to 
the  body.  And  it  means  so  much  to 
woman's  comfort,  beauty  and  health 
assurance.

Because  there  was  no  name  or  address  in  the

suggestion  of  friends,  she  had  the  bonbons 
analyzed  at  San  Francisco. 

FLO  ZIEGFELD  is  mobilizing  his  Follies  gals 
for  the  production  of  the  movie  film,  "Glori-

•'The  American  Venus." 

SOMEBODY  was  admiring  one  of  those 
stunning  white  Stetsons  that  Tom  Mix 
wears,  the  other  day,  and  it  leaked  out  that 
when  Tom  made  his  recent  trip  to  Europe  and 
throughout  the  United  States  with  Tony .  he 
used  up  over  two  hundred  of  them. 

Everywhere  he  went,  some  prominent  man 
connected  with  his  reception  would  want  to 
keep  a  hat  for  a  souvenir.  They  became  so 
popular  for  this  purpose  that  Tom  wired  for 
two  hundred  extra  ones,  and  came  home  bare- 
headed at  that. 

ANEW  job  has  been  created  in  the  film  in-

limited  to  five  seconds.

she   wished   to  be  known  onlv  bv  her  stage

wife  is  now  appearing  to  crowded  houses  in 
vaudeville.  There  seems  to  be  great  curiosity 
to  see  the  former  wife  of  the  great  star.  Nata- 
cha's  act  is  a  sketch  depicting  a  Russian  refugee 
taking  revenge  on  a  revolutionist  and  she  is 
striking  in  a  gorgeous  gown  of  metal  cloth,

be  -tarred  by  Columbia  Pictures.  Tom  was  in 
Florida  when  his  brother  left.

W       What  was  a  poor  girl  to  think? 

Margaret  Livingston  thought  Wallace  Mai  - 
Donald  was  insulting  her.    Wouldn't  you? 

Then  Wally  shoved  a  pen  and  a  small 
wooden  box  under  her  nose.  And  Margaret 
understood. 

It  was  Wally's  make-up  box  he  wanted 
autographed.  A  cedar  chest  that  bore  the 
famous  signatures  of  the  many  stars  he  has 
worked  with.  And  he  wanted  Margaret  to 
autograph  his  chest.

Now  Doris  has  taken  up  her  singing  studies 
again,  under  Fucito.  Caruso's  former  teacher. 

Before  going  into  the  movies  Doris  Kenyon 
sang  in  a  church  choir.  Victor  Herbert  heard 
her  sing  one  day  and  at  once  placed  her  in  one 
of  his  musical  shows,  and  Doris  seemed  des- 
tined for  an  oneratic  career.  But  the  movie- 
won  out.

"It  irua  at  Deawille  1  heard  oj 
marvelous  new    methcxl    to    beautify 
the  shin,"  said  Celeste. 

An  Incident  French 

Beauties  Probably 

Never  Will  Forget 

By  Virginia   Hoyt 

We  scarcely  recognized  her  I  That  Is  an  unadorned 
faot.     When    Celeste   Dornay    came    gaily    tripping 

down  the  gang-plank  from  die  Leviathan,  our  little 
group  of  "welcome  homers"  hardly  knew  her.  .She 
was  as  stunning  as  we  were  stunned.  "What's  the 
matter,  dears?"  she  cried,  as  she  threw  herself 
into  our  arms. 

*  *    *    * 

It  all  came  out  at  luncheon.  Our  curiosity  there  hurst 
its  bounds  with  a  "What  in  the  world  did  they  do  to  your 
complexion.  Celeste?" 

"You'll  simply  die  with  amusement  when  I  tell  you  the 
truth."  she  answered.  "I  know  that  my  face  looks  trans- 
formed— but  it's  really  funny — thut  Is,  the  story  of  how 
it  all  happened. 

"It  was  at  Deauvllle  I  heard  of  a  marvelous  new 
method  to  beautify  the  skin.  French  beauties  hinted  of 
it  to  me — as  If  I.  an  American,  should  know.  The  pitiful 
condition  of  my  skin  —  then  —  should  have  told  them 
otherwise. 

"One  afternoon  I  ventured  into  the  room  of  Rene — a 
darling  little  beauty.  She  was  at  her  toilet  table.  And 
as  we  chatted,  I  watched.  She  lavished  upon  her  skin  a 
pink  cream  from  a.  modish  pink  container.  I  noted  a  del- 
icate almond  fragrance.  She  removed  it.  Thai  van  her 
cleanser.  I  guessed.  But  promptly  she  applied  it  a  second 
time — patted  it  daintily — and  turned  to  chat  awhile. 
Her  skin  fund.  Inn,  I  concluded,  Willi  surprise! 

"  'Rene,'  I  finally  asked,  "tell  me,  is  thai  the  new  method 
you  French  beauties  are  praising?    If  so.  what  is  it?' 

"'You  do  not  know!'  exclaimed  Rene,  'and  li  comes 
from  your  America!'  She  nearly  convulsed  herself  with 
merriment — and  then  told  me  all. 

*  *     *     * 

"Girls,  these  French  beauties  had  given  up  their  ex- 
pensive jar  creams  for  a  solidified  pink  cream  which  you 
push  up  and  out  of  a  pretty  little  oval-shaped  container 
— and  is  mode  in  these  United  States!  This  one  single 
cream  they  use  as  a  cleanser,  a  skin  food  and  a  base  for 
powder.  Not.  for  economy's  sake,  but  because  they  And 
it  does  more  for  their  skins  than  three  separate  jar  creams. 

"Promptly  did  I  divest  myself  of  some  francs  and  start 
following  their  method.  Rene  must  have  told  the  others 
of  my  abysmal  Ignorance  concerning  the  excellence  of 
this  American  beautlner — for  they  slyly  jested  about  it 
afterwards. 

"The  upshot  is  —  well,  my  'new'  complexion  which 
you've  admired." 

*  *     *     * 

"Hut  what  is  the  name  of  it?"  we  clamored  simul- 
taneously. 

"Sem-pray,"  replied  Celeste.  "And  over  here,  in  the 
pretty  oval  container  it.  costs  you  just  seventy-five  cents 
— or  sixty  cents  in  cake  form — I  noticed  by  the  folder  of 
directions.  Not  that  your  skins  need  beautifying,  of 
course,  but — " 

After  bidding  Celeste  adieu,  I  know  of  at  least  one 
young  lady  who  immediately  sought  out  a  toilet  goods 
counter,  purchased  Sem-pray.  and  is  now  willing  tu  agree 
that  French  beauties  know  a  thing  or  two  —  about  the 
United  States.    Yes,  I'm  the  onet  — V.  H. 

Countless  women  arc  adopting  this  delightful  new 
method  to  retain  girlish  loveliness.  Costliest  jar  creams 
rarely.  If  ever,  gave  such  results,  they  say.  Accept  the 
test  and  Judge  for  yourself.  Frankly,  as  makers  also  of 
jar  creams,  we  have  yet  to  find  how  certain  complexion 
beautlflers—  the  secret  of  a  skin  that's  always  yung — can 
be  Included  in  jar  creams.  So 
this  is  the  sole  form  of  cream 
offering  these  wonderful  youth- 
giving  ingredients.  For  your 
complexion's  sake,  use  It  as  a

TEST 


The  tragic  ending  of  a  perfect  love,  the  death  of  Mimi  in  ""La 
Boheme."  This  is  one  of  the  highlights  from  Metro-Goldwyn- 
Mayer's  special  production  of  the  immortal  opera  story.  John 
Gilbert  plays  Rudolph,  the  poet,  and  Lillian  Gish's  "Mimi*-  is 
regarded  as  the  test  performance  of  her  career 


The  musical  atmosphere  of  the  Caruso  home 
has  brought  back  all  Miss  Kenyon's  operatic 
ambitions,  but  she  has  a  movie  contract  that's 
not  to  be  sneezed  at,  so  we  don't  need  to  worry- 
about  losing  Doris. 

GLOBE-TROTTIXG  William  Powell,  who 
now  wears  the  brand  of  Paramount,  has 
accumulated  numerous  jokes  in  his  travels, 
but  one  of  the  most  ingenious  is  this: 

A  gentleman  of  Hebraic  extraction  bought  a 
horse  for  $200  from  a  trader  of  dubious  repu- 
tation, and  the  trader  specified  that  the  Jew 
must  accept  the  horse  as  he  bought  him.  It 
was  a  tine-looking  animal,  so  the  Jew  agreed 
and  asked  permission  of  the  trader  to  let  the 
horse  remain  in  the  stall  overnight.  The 
trader  acquiesced. 

The  next  morning  the  Jew  called  to  get  his 
horse.  He  could  not  see  the  animal's  head  over 
the  top  of  the  stall  and  hastened  to  it,  only  to 
find  the  horse  had  died. 

"How  about  getting  back  my  $200?  The 
horse  is  dead,"  queried  the  Jew. 

"Notion1  doin'.  You  bought  the  horse  for 
better  or  worse!"    The  trader  was  adamant. 

The  Jew  had  the  carcass  hauled  away. 

Several  weeks  later  the  two  men  met. 

"What  did  you  do  with  your  horse?"  asked 
the  trader. 

"Had  a  rattle."  the  Jew  answered.  "I  sold 
ten  chances  at  Sioo  apiece." 

"Yeh.  But  how  about  the  guy  who  won 
the  horse?" 

"Him?    Oh!    I  gave  him  back  his  Sioo.  " 

FAMOUS  PLAYERS-LASKY  has  finally 
won  the  suit  brought  against  them  by  Mrs. 
Virginia  Bridget  Halm,  daughter  of  Jim  Brid- 
ger,  for  defamation  of  her  father's  character  in 
"The  Covered  Wagon."  The  picture  shows 
(lie  famous  old  Indian  scout  as  the  husband  of 
Indian  squaws  and  as  a  drunkard. 

In  ruling  against  Mrs.  Ilahn.  the  Federal 
Court  of  Kansas  City  held  that  the  changing 
standards  of  living  make  it  impossible  to  de- 
fame one's  ancestors.  Things  considered 
proper  in  one  generation  might  be  hold  as  im- 
proper in  another,  the  judge  said. 

THERE'S  one  born  every  minute  and  most 
of   them   live,"    Mr.    P.   T.    Barnum   once 
sagely  announced.     You  can  sell  them  gold 


bricks,  oil  wells  and  street  cars.  But  the  latest 
wrinkle  in  the  "sucker"  game  occurred  the 
other  day. 

To  begin  at  the  beginning.  Bebe  Daniels' 
new  picture  is  a  female  edition  of  "Brewster's 
Millions."  It's  called  "Miss  Brewster's  Mil- 
lions." is  laid  in  Hollywood  and  Bebe.  as  an 
extra  girl,  has  a  million  dollars  to  spend.  In 
her  mad  haste  to  get  rid  of  the  money  in  the 
required  ninety  days  she  buys  a  worthless 
motion  picture  studio,  an  oil  well — anything. 
So  the  Sunset  Boulevard  side  of  the  Paramount 
Studio  wasconverted  into  Bebe's picture  invest- 
ment and  labeled  "The  Excelsior  Studios." 

A  short  time  after  the  set  was  decorated,  two 
soft-voiced  maiden  ladies  called  at  the  Para- 
mount reception  room. 

"Can  you  tell  us  where  to  find  the  general 
manager  of  the  Excelsior  Studios?" 

"Xo,  mam.    There  ain't  no  such  tiling." 

"Oh,  but  there  must  be!  The  nicest  man 
sold  us  stock  in  the  Excelsior  Motion  Picture 
Company,  with  an  entrance  on  Sunset  Boule- 
vard, and  said  we  could  visit  it  any  time  we 
wanted!" 

A  NEW  YORK  columnist  wrote  a  yarn  re- 
■*  Ventlv  about  an  incident  that  occurred  at 
the  Equity  Ball.  A  photographer  wanted  to 
take  some  pictures  of  the  movie  folk,  and  ap- 
proached Conway  Tearle  with  his  request. 

The  story  goes  that  Mr.  Tearle  retorted  that 
there  was  nobody  else  of  the  movies  present 
but  Sigrid  Holmquist.  and  Mr.  Tearle  couldn't 
be  expected  to  pose  with  her.  could  he? 

And  when  Sigrid  read  this,  she  was  peeved. 
She  wrote  an  attention-caller  letter  to  the  col- 
umnist. Sigrid  thought  the  yarn  was  meant  as 
a  reflection  upon  herself,  and  took  great  pains 
to  point  out  that  "in  our  last  picture  the  gen- 
eral opinion  was  that  whenever  Mr.  Tearle  and 
1  appeared  together  the  all-seeing  eye  of  the 
camera  seemed  to  miss  him  entirely.  Naturally 
he  would  be  reluctant  to  take  another  chance." 

The  laugh's  on  somebody,  but  whom? 

BENEFITS  of  stardom  as  seen  by  little  Vir- 
ginia Marshall,  age  six  years,  who  expects  to 
receive  a  contract  with  adarge  producing  com- 
pany: 

"What  difference  will  it  make  whether  you 
have  a  contract  or  not?"  queried  Kathleen,  a 
friend  of  the  embryonic  star.

skin.  By  removing  all  dirt  and  grime,

cold  cream  left  in  the  skin.  The  pores 
exude  it  constantly.  That's  why  you 
must  powder  now  so  frequently.  That's 
why,  too,  imperfections  often  appear. 

This  new  way  corrects  those  failures 
of  old  ways.  One  day's  use  will  prove 
its  case  beyond  doubt.

Here  he  is,  the  gentleman  of  a  thousand  loves,  Don  Juan,   as  vi- 

sioned  by  John  Barrymore  for  Warner  Bros.   The  lady  getting  the 

warm  look  is  Estelle  Taylor,  all  dressed  up  as  Lucretia  Borgia,  that 

ancient  vamp  who  was  so  playful  with  poisons 


"Why!"  replied  Virginia,  with  withering 
contempt,  "then  I'll  have  a  bungalow  on  the 
lot,  like  all  of  the  other  stars!" 


THERE  is  one  polite  truck  driver  in  New 
York.    He  is  Alice  Joyce's  own  discovery. 

Crossing  Broadway  recently  Alice  nearly 
became  a  casualty.  She  gauged  the  distance 
between  herself  and  the  curb  and  decided  she 
could  make  it  before  the  truck  got  there. 

But  three  steps  were  lost  on  a  bit  of  Xew 
Y'ork's  sootiful  snow,  and  Miss  Joyce  barely 
made  it. 

The  truck  driver  leaned  out  of  his  perch,  and 
contrary  to  truck  driving  tradition,  called 
friendly  like : 

"Watch  your  step.  Alice!' 

V\7HEX  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fred  Xiblo  (Enid 
*V  Bennett)  left  for  a  three  months'  vaca- 
tion trip  to  Europe  recently,  they  had  consider- 
able explaining  to  do  to  their  five  year  old 
daughter.  Loris,  who  having  been  previously 
taken  to  Rome  while  "Ben  Hur"  was  being 
filmed  couldn't  see  why  she  should  be  left  at 
home  this  time. 

But  Enid  with  great  care  told  her  that  they 
had  to  be  in  Xew  York  for  the  opening  of  the 
picture,  that  they'd  be  hurrying  around  from 
place  to  place  and  it  wouldn't  really  be  nice  at 
all  for  a  little  girl. 

A  Few  days  ago  Loris  got  a  postal  from  her 
mother  from  Europe,  describing  some  scenery 
and  ending  with  "Wish  you  were  along,  dar- 
ling." 

Loris  contemplated  it  a  while,  and  then  said 
to  her  grandmother.  "That's  very  silly  of 
Mother  and  Dad.  If  they'd  wished  1  was 
along  all  they  had  to  do  was  take  me. 

I  suggested  it  myself.  But  they  wouldn't. 
So  what's  the  use  now  of  writing  postals 
like  that?" 


WHAT  shall  we  do  1 
debutantes  asked  themselves.  And  they 
hit  upon  the  idea  of  dressing  up  like  movie 
stars  and  ha\ing  a  party. 

So  recently  at  the  Plaza  the  moving  picture 
stars  were  able  to  sec  themselves  as  others  see 
them  when  impersonations  were  given  by  100 
members  of  the  Junior  League.  Some  of  the 
screen  players  were  improved  upon  by  the 
amateurs,  while  the  vanity  of  others  received 
sad  blows. 


TOTO  sooner  did  Helen  Ferguson  and  her  hus- 
•'-^'band.  William  Russell,  return  from  Xew 
Y'ork.  intending  to  move  into  their  beautiful 
new  home  in  Beverly  Hills,  than  both  signed  a 
contract  to  appear  in  a  French  Revolutionary 
period  picture  for  the  Concordia  Film  Co..  and 
left  for  Algiers  and  Tunis,  where  the  picture  is 
laid.  The  Russells  expect  to  return  to  Beverly 
early  in  the  summer. 

T  EW  STONE  has  always  wanted  to  play 
-•—'"The  Desert  Healer."  He  wanted  to  SO 
much  that  about  a  year  ago  he  purchased  a 
beautiful  horse  and  started  to  train  him  for  the 
picture — so  hopeful  was  Stone  that  he  would 
some  day  play  the  role. 

Then  Sam  Rork  and  Marion  Fairfax  pur- 
chased the  story  and  engaged  Lew  for  the  part 
Everything  was  great.  Stone  was  crazy  to 
play  it  and  had  the  horse  and  everything. 

But  he  hasn't  got  the  horse  now.  Just  be- 
fore Stone  started  work  on  the  picture,  the 
horse  was  stolen.  And  puff  went  horse,  a 
year's  feed  bill  and  all  of  the  time  and  money 
spent  on  the  animal's  education. 


"TVJTARE  NOSTRUM,"  the  Latin 
■"■'•title  of  Rex  Ingram's  latest 
opus — in  plain  American  it  means 
"Our  Sea" — temporarily  halted 
Broadway  when  it  first  shone  down 
upon  that  lively  street  from  the  elec- 
tric lights  of  the  Criterion  Theatre. 

Latin  is  a  language  that  has  been 
dead  for  considerable  years  and 
"Mare  Nostrum"  halted  Broadway, 
as  has  been  said,  momentarily  while 
its  meaning  was  sought. 

Then  one  of  Broadway's  wisest 
boys  came  along.    He  translated. 

"Mare  Nostrum,"  said  the  wise- 
boy.     "Horse  Liniment." 

THE  White  Star  liner  Olympic  reached  her 
port  last  week  too  late  in  the  day  for  the 
regular  inspection  of  alien  passengers.  And  so 
one  of  our  popular  film  stars  was  obliged  to 
spend  the  night  aboard  ship. 

Tom  Moore.  He  still  has  an  English  slant 
Oil  his  passport,  due  to  the  cradle  being  in  Ire- 
land when  Tom  first  gladdened  the  earth  with 
his  Irish  grin.

methods  and  preparations 

overcome  the  three  telltale 

signs  of  facial  age 

TO  look  one's  age  is  a  folly," 
says  Dorothy  Gray.  "Look- 
ing as  old  as  one's  years  is  a 
crime  against  self." 

Miss  Gray  says  this  with  the 
assurance  of  an  expert,  one  who 
has  spent  her  lifetime  in  one 
worthy  pursuit — facial  rejuvena- 
tion. 

Hers  is  now  one  of  the  world's 
most  famous  beauty  salons.  Lead- 
ing women  in  society  and  on  the 
stage  come  to  her  exquisite  and 
palatial  studio  on  Fifth  Avenue, 
opposite  the  famous  Yanderbilt 
chateau. 

Dorothy  Gray  has  become  the 
leading  exponent  on  facial  re- 
juvenation. For  the  thousands 
who  have  come  to  her,  often  with 
the  signs  of  heart-break  in  their 
faces,  she  has  performed  almost 
miraculous  transformations. 

Not  by  harsh  surgery,  not  "face- 
lifting," not  "enameling" — all  so 
temporary  and  dangerous — but  by 


scientific  treatments  with  her  own 
unique  preparations. 

Now,  all  can  be  had  in  your  own 
home.  You  can  obtain  the  identical 
results— just  as  if  you  had  come  to 
the  New  York  salon  of  DorothyGray.

Through  her  years  of  practice 
with  a  large  and  fastidious  clientele, 
Dorothy  Gray  has  now  perfected 
systems  for  home  treatment. 

You  can  erase  years  from  your 
face  if  you're  over  30.    If  younger, 


you    can    prevent   age   lines   from 
coming  prematurely. 

A  double   chin,    that   first  fatal 
sign    of   departing    youth,    can    be 
restored  to  graceful  lines.    Droopy, 
flabby  muscles  can  be  "firmed"  — 
sallow  skin  made  glowing — thin 
and    withered    skin    can    be    re- 
vitalized— lines    and   crow's-feel 
around  eyes  and  mouth  can  be 
eliminated,  erased.

Now  that  America  is  a  dry  country,  we  have  things  like  this  cellar- 

ette  circulating  among  us.    The  shelves  fold  in,  lowering  the  glasses 

and  grape  juice  to  the  bottom.    Clarence  Brown  is  pouring  Ronald 

Colman's  cold  tea.  This  is  one  of  the  kicks  in  "Kiki" 


MRS.  EARLE  WILLIAMS  entertained  re- 
cently at  a  luncheon  and  tea  for  Peggy 
Hopkins  Joyce,  who  has  returned  from  Europe 
and  is  about  to  start  work  on  her  second  picture. 

Florine  kept  open  house,  everybody  came  to 
lunch  that  colild  and  those  that  were  working 
dropped  in  for  tea.  Anions  the  guests  were 
Norma  and  Constance  Talmadge,  Mrs.  Pes 
Talmadge,  Mrs.  Harold  Lloyd,  Ivy  Shilling. 
Mrs.  Thalberg,  Florence  Vidor  and  a  number 
of  others. 

One  thini:  cat  parties  of  that  nature  always 
demonstrate — those  two  Talmadge  girls  are 
great  foils  for  each  other.  Being  sisters,  you'd 
think  they  saw  enough  of  each  other  at  home. 
Hut  when  they  go  out,  they  are  always  to  be 
found  sitting  side  by  side,  playing  into  each 
other's  hands  and  keeping  everybody  roaring 
with  laughter.  They  entertained  the  crowd 
that  afternoon  with  quotations  from  nut  fan 
let lers  they  have  received.  Anions  the  many 
beautiful  and  highly  appreciated  letters  thai 
ever)  star  gets  are  always  some  from  jails,  in- 
sane asylums  and  private  freaks  that  are  a 
scream.  And  Constance  and  Norma  certainly 
make  a  great  act  of  anything  they  attempt. 

DRIFTED  up  to  the  Montmartre  Saturday 
to  see  what  was  going  on.     Most  remark- 
able thing  I  saw  was  this  little  girl  loan  Craw-

fectly beautiful.  In  dull  green  satin,  and  danc- 
ing the  Charleston  very  gracefully  with  Mich- 
ael Cudahy.  son  of  the  once-famous  Jack 
Cudahy.  If  she  photographs  as  beautifully  as 
she  looked  that  day  she  should  be  an  addition 
to  the  screen.  A  young  Corinne  Griffith  with- 
out Corinne's  disagreeable  expression. 

Somebody  was  having  a  party  at  which  were

satin:  Colleen  Moore,  all  in  blue;  Mrs.  Tom 
Mix.  in  a  three-piece  ensemble  of  dark  blue 
silk  trimmed  with  sable:  Mrs.  Wallace  Reid. 
in  strictly  tailored  black,  and  Catherine  Ben- 
nett. That  sirl  is  a  beautiful  blonde.  No  get- 
ting away  from  it.  And  anything  prettier  than 
a  really  beautiful  blonde  I  don't  know. 

Syd  Chaplin  was  very  active  on  the  dance 
tloor.  Lon  Chancy  and  Raoul  Walsh  were  at-

Joy  was  there  with  the  two  Mayer  girls,  and 
she  looked  very  lovely,  in  a  deep,  rich  yellow- 
dress,  and  a  soft  hat  to  match. 

The  last  two  times  I've  seen  her  she  had  on  a 
most  unbecoming  blue  hat.  and  I  thought 
she'd  gone  off  in  her  looks.  But  seeing  her  in

Sunlight 


^Npw  in  a  jar  of  cream  J 


t 


Now  you  can  take  a  Sun  Bath  every  night— while  you 
sleep — thus  quickly  renew  the  youth  of  your  skin 


Medical  science  has  made  wonderful 
advances  in  recent  years.  But  one  oi 
the  most  far-reaching  of  all  is  the  recent 
discovery  <>t  .1  method  of  storing  the  heal- 
ing rays  of the  Sun  in  a  pure  cold  cream! 

Fred  E.  Goodall,  inventor  of  the  Goodall 
Process  tor  treating  vegetable  oils  and 
tenuis  with  a  quartz  lamp,  lias  proved 
his  right  to  recognition  in  this  held. 

Recognized  value  oj 
Ultra  Violet  Rays 

For  years,  scientists  and  medical  author- 
ities have  recognized  the  unusual  healing 
properties  of  the  Actinic  ol  Ultra  \  lolet 
Rays  as  administered  by  a  quartz  lamp. 

Leading  scientists  have  proven — by  re- 
markable  clinical  tests — that  vegetable 
oils  treated  with  these  healing  rays  of 
Sunlight  actually  become  charged — 
irradiated.  Thus  these  irradiated  oils — 
when  brought  in  contact  with  the  stom- 
ach and  other  organs — produce  the  same 
benefits  as  the  quartz  lamp  itself. 

Able  men  of  research  are  daily  advancing  in  knowl- 
edge on  the  problems  of  thus  treating  the  internal 
organs  with  Sunlight.  But  we — by  means  of  the 
Goodall  Process — are  confining  ourselves  to  the 
most  universal  problem  of  all — the  care  of  the  skin 
and  complexion. 

Now  Sunlight  in  a  cream 

By  the  Goodall  Process,  with  the  quartz  lamp,  we 
have  succeeded  in  storing  irradiation  in  a  cream. 
This  is  just  another  way  of  saying,  Sunlight  in  a 
cream.  Thus  it  is  the  only  cream  carrying  the 
healing  properties  of  Ultra  Violet  Rays.  The 
name  is  RAY-CREME. 

So  now  you  can  take  a  Sun  Bath  in  bed  every 


night  in  the  yeai  regardless  <>l  the  weathci 
without  an)  burning  effect.  For  the  Actinic  <>l 
I  In. 1  Violei  Rays  onlj  serve  to  heal,  llms  \.>u 
t'.m  save  your  complexion  from  wrinkles  and 
sallowness— -you  can  banish  and  prevent  blem- 
ishes by  the  regular  use  of  this  simple  jar  of 
Sunlight — R  VY-CREME.    A  trial  proves  it. 

Special  metal-lined  jars 

For  months  we  were  puzsled  with  the  seeming 
passive  action  oi  our  cream.  It  seemed  i<>  lost 
us  energy  after  a  few  days.  I  hen  we  discovered 
the  trouble  the  Sun  Rays  were  escaping  through 
the  jars!  Now  we  have  overcome  this  completely. 

Now  each  iar  of  RAY-CREME  is  metal-lined. 

Thus  no  light  can  escape  through  the  sides  of  the 
iar.  So  please  remember  that.  When  you  buj 
R  VY-CREME  m>u  an-  buying  captured  Sunlight. 
So  keep  the  lid  on  tight  when  not  in  use.  Else  the 
Sunlight  escapes.  Frankly,  if  you  fail  to  keep  the 
lid  on  at  all  times,  you  might  just  as  well  use  any 
cream  on  the  market. 

Photographs  tell  the  story 

Please  look  at  the  photographs  at  the  right.  You 
are  looking  at  the  first  authentic  reproductions  of 
photographs  of  Sunlight  in  a  jar.  These  photo- 
graphs of  RAY-CREME  were  taken  in  a  sealed 
dark  room.  We  can  obtain  enough  light  from  a 
jar  of  RAY-CREME  to  "light  strike"  an  X-ray 
plate! 

RAY-CREME  is  not  simply  one  type  of  cream. 
It  serves  the  purpose  of  every  type  of  cream. 

It  is  entirely  self-sufficient.  It  meets  every  skin 
need.  For  Sunlight  is  nature's  most  powerful 
healer — the  only  food  the  skin  can  absorb. 

We  make  no  medical  claims.  We  don't  have  to. 
Any  doctor  will  tell  you  the  benefits  of  Sunlight. 
We  have  successfully  demonstrated  that  these 
healing  rays  can  be  stored  in  RAY-CREME  by 
means  of  the  quartz  lamp.  Can  anyone,  then, 
hesitate  to  believe  in  the  youth-giving,  tissue- 
building  properties  of  RAY-CREME  ?  Blemishes, 
such  as  blackheads,  pimples,  etc.,  cannot  remain 
on  a  skin  treated  with  Sunlight — RAY-CREME. 
A  fair  trial  proves  it.

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Neil  Hamilton  at  breakfast.  Mrs.  Hamilton  eats 
fruit  but  Neil  seems  to  feed  just  on  long  looks.  Economical,  any- 
how, and  it  should  help  Neil  to  keep  the  cook  and  his  waistline 
easily.     Those  looks  may  not  last,  though.     The  Hamiltons  are 

newlyweds 


smart  young  society  matrons.  Priscilla  Dean, 
all  in  black,  with  a  tiny  black  velvet  hat  orna- 
mented with  rhinestones — and  so  exquisitely 
thin  I  hardly  knew  her.  Carmelita  Geraghty 
and  Virginia  Valli  and  Julanne  Johnstone,  the 
regulars,  much  as  usual. 

MAE  MURRAY  must  keep  a  little  notebook 
of  glittering,  airy  remarks  to  lightly  toss  to 
the  press.  When  she  returned  from  abroad 
several  months  ago  and  her  matrimonial  inten- 
tions were  probed  by  inquiring  reporters.  Mae 
provocatively  replied:  "Paris  is  lovely  in  the 
spring!" 

Xow  she  returns  from  another  trip  to  the 
continent  where  her  name  has  been  coupled 
with  Valentino,  and  in  answer  to  the  same 
palpitant  questions,  Mae  sweetly  answers: 

"The  man  I  marry  must  be  able  to  cook 
bacon  and  eggs  and  be  willing  to  serve  them 
to  me!" 

IT  is  mighty  interesting  to  note  that  George 
Fitzmaurice,  who  is  generally  considered  one 
of  the  most  artistic  directors  in  the  business, 
has  developed  a  most  startling  box  office  flair 
during  the  year  just  passed. 

Fitzmaurice  is  the  only  director  to  have  two 
of  his  pictures  listed  among  the  fifty-two  best 
box  office  attractions  in  1025.  His  "Thief  in 
Paradise"  is  rated  among  the  first  twenty. 

His  other  picture,  which  I  consider  his 
greatest  from  all  angles  and  which  introduces 
Vilma  Banky  to  the  public.  "The  Dark 
Angel."  ranks  considerably  below  "A  Thief  in 
Paradise,"  much  to  my  surprise. 

I  guess  I'm  not  the  only  one  to  discover 
Fitzmaurice's  unusual  achievement,  for  lie  has 
been  signed  by  Joe  Schenck  to  direct  Rudolph 
Valentino's  next  picture  at  what  is  said  to  be 
the  highest  salary  ever  paid  a  director  to  make 
a  single  picture. 

MIRK  and  Ike,"  the  immortal  comic  strip 
twins,  have  nothing  on  Mary  and  Mar- 
gery Angus,  two  Hollywood  girls  who  are  as 
alike,  from  pretty  curling  hair  to  small  slippers. 
as  two  automat  sandwiches. 

Sometimes  it  is  a  liability  to  be  an  exact 
replica  of  someone  else,  but  when  the  twins 
went  on  location  with  the  John  Ford-Fox 
troupe    filming   '•The   World   of    Promise,"    it 

proved  an  asset.

The  company  established  a  pay  station  and' 
because  Margery  was  confined  to  her  room  with 
a  nasty  cold.  Mary  went  to  the  station  to  col- 
lect both  checks.  The  paymaster  refused  to 
give  Mary  her  sister's  check,  despite  all  argu- 
ments. Man-  left  and  stealthily  waited  around 
the  corner  for  about  five  minutes.  Then  she 
returned  to  the  paymaster  with  a  petulant 
scowl  on  her  face : 

"I'm  Margery  Angus.  I  think  you're  aw- 
fully mean  to  make  me  come  all  the  way  down 
here  for  my  check!"  said  Man- — and  walked 
away  with  Margery's  check!

new  picture. 

HOLLYWOOD  society  has  talked  of  very 
little  else  recently  but  Marion  Davies' 
costume  ball,  held  in  the  Ambassador  ballroom 
and  attended  not  only  by  all  the  most  cele- 
brated stars  but  by  a  large  number  of  titled 
and  distinguished  foreigners  as  well. 

The  big  ballroom  was  turned  by  a  decora- 
tor's art  into  a  lavish  and  beautiful  Hawaiian 
scene,  two  orchestras  played  the  most  enticing 
dance  music  and  at  midnight  an  elaborate  sup- 
per was  served  at  small  separate  tal  les  scat- 
tered among  the  cocoanut  palms. 

Miss  Davies  herself  appeared  in  the  costume 
of  a  10th  century  belle  and  I  don't  I  elieve  she 
has  ever  looked  so  pretty  on  or  off  the  screen. 
The  soft  blue  velvet  of  the  quaint  old-fash- 
ioned gown  and  the  fetching  poke  bonnet  with 
curling  ostrich  plumes  of  pale  pink  brought  out 
her  blonde  loveliness  in  a  fascinating  way.  She 
was  assisted  in  receiving  by  her  sister.  Mrs. 
George  Van  Cleve.  and  her  niece,  Miss  Pepi 
Lederer. 

IT  was  great  fun  to  see  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Douglas 
Fairbanks  enjoying  themselves,  dancing  to- 
gether like  a  couple  of  youngsters.  They  so 
seldom  go  to  big  parties.  Mary  was  Lillian 
Gish,  she  said,  and  wore  Miss  Gish's little  seam- 
stress costume  from  "La  Boheme"  and  Doug-

This  sounds  ridiculous,  but  that  is  the  equivalent  of  what  you  will  receive  if 
you  take  advantage  of  OPPORTUNITY'S  New  Special  Subscription  Offer. 
OPPORTUNITY  (The  Salesman's  Guide)  covers  all  phases  of  the  direct  selling 
field,  which  today  is  only  in  its  infancy.  This  field  offers  exceptional  possibilities 
to  the  young  man  or  woman  who  is  ambitious  and  desirous  of  getting  ahead. 
Women  will  welcome  this  chance  to  turn  their  SPARE  TIME  into  MONEY. 


GetOutoftheRiit! 

Thousands  of  young 
men  and  women  are 
already  making  good 
substantial  incomes 
representing  large, 
reputable,  direct  sell- 
ing houses  and  in- 
troducing their  lines 
into  various  com- 
munities. Large 
firms  manufacturing 
well-known  and 
trade -marked  mer- 
chandise are  turning 
to  this  method  of 
marketing  their 
goods,  and  they  are 
looking  for  thou- 
sands of  men  and 
women  to  represent 
them. 


T  MAKES  no  difference  what  you 
are — a  salesman,  a  professional 
man  or  an  office  worker.  Whatever 
your  line,  your  success  depends  upon 
your  ability  to  put  over  your  ideas 
with  others.  That's  why  some  men, 
of  seemingly  less  ability,  step  ahead 
of  fellows  who  really  KNOW  but  who 
can't  SELL.  You  are  cheating  yourself 
of  your  greatest  success  if  you  don't 
know  and  practice  salesmanship.

Her  grandmother  is  doing  the  driving  but  why  should  Bebe  Daniels 

carry  a  riding  crop?    Can  it  be  that  this  is  a  four-legged  roadster? 

Or  is  the  whip  used  to  scare  away  the  traffic  cops?  Darn  mysterious, 

these  movie  girls 


las  was  Don  Q.  in  a  dashing  black  Spanish 
costume.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charlie  Chaplin  were 
the  Emperor  Napoleon  and  the  Empress  Jose- 
phine. Charlie  has  always  wanted  to  play 
Napoleon  and  is  always  saying  that  when  he 
gets  ready  to  retire  he  will  make  one  last  pic- 
ture of  the  "Little  Corporal's  "life,  playing  the 
title  role  himself.  He  had  a  vers'  lavish  cos- 
tume made  of  the  Emperor's  white  uniform. 
Mrs.  Chaplin  looked  particularly  lovely  in  an 
empire  gown  of  sapphire  blue  velvet,  and  a 
lovely  diamond  coronet  in  her  dark  hair,  which 
was  piled  high  on  her  head. 

Norma  Talmadge  was  a  Russian  ballet  girl. 
in  a  strikingly  individual  little  dancing  dress 
in  scarlet  and  blue,  with  high  black  patent 
leather  boots  and  a  stiff  little  patent  leather 
helmet.  And  Constance  was  a  Dutch  boy.  in 
bright  blue  satin  pantaloons,  her  blonde  hair 
worn  straight  and  short  like  a  real  little  Hol- 
lander's. Buster  Collier,  who  accompanied 
her,  wore  the  outfit  of  a  Bowery  tough,  topped 
by  a  brown  derby. 

Tom  Mix  wore  a  pure  white  vaquero's  outfit, 
trimmed  in  silver,  and  Mrs.  Mix  was  a  Vic- 
torian court  lady,  in  purple  velvet  and  ermine. 
The  dress  of  that  period  and  the  hair  dressed 
high  gave  her  an  opportunity  to  wear  some  of 
her  most  beautiful  jewels,  including  a  diamond 
tiara  and  a  diamond  collar  of  exquisite  work- 
manship. 

THE  costume  voted  by  everyone  the  most 
beautiful  was  that  designed  for  Florence 
Yidor  by  Banton,  the  Parisian  designer.  It 
was  a  Venetian  affair,  of  pure  white  tulle,  with 
a  tight  fitting  satin  bodice  above  the  frothy 
skirt,  a  tiny  white  velvet  hat  with  a  black  lace 
mantilla  draped  about  it  and  touching  the 
oval  of  her  face.  George  Fitzmaurice  and  Ron- 
ald Colman,  who  accompanied  her,  came  in 
regulation  evening  clothes,  us  did  Joe  Schenck. 
Jack  Barrymore  was  a  tramp,  with  a  large 
putty  nose  painted  red  and  the  most  realistic 
looking  suit  of  clothes  that  ever  draped  rags 
and  tatters  about  a  famous  actor.  But  the 
hit  of  the  evening  among  the  men  was  Jack 
(iill  ert.  who  came  as  "Red  ('.range."  his  foot- 
ball togs  topped  by  a  tlaming  red  wig  of  gigan- 
tic proportions. 

Miss  Lillian  Gish  looked  like  one  of  Jane 
Austen's  heroines  Stepped  straight  from  the 
pages  of  the  book,  in  a  little  white  frock  ami 
old  fashioned  hair  dress.  The  Princess  Bibesco, 
who  is  the  house  guest  of  Mr.  ami  Mrs  Pair- 
I  anks  and  the  daughter  of  the  Earl  ami  Coun- 
tess iif  Oxford  and  Asquith,  came  in  the  full 
10'irt  dress  of  Roumania.     Her  husband  is  the 

Ivery  advertisement   in  PHOTOPLAY   magazine  is  guaranteed. 


Roumanian  minister  to  the  United  States. 
Her  brother.  Anthony  Asquith.  was  a  toreador, 
and  Madame  Elinor  Glyn  was  a  Spanish  grande 
dame,  in  black  velvet  with  a  huge  comb  and 
graceful  mantilla  draped  about  her  lovely  red 
hair. 

/^\XE  of  the  most  stunning  costumes  there 
^-'was  that  of  Bebe  Daniels  as  Joan  of  Arc. 
Bebe  had  a  suit  of  armour  made  of  cloth  of 
silver.  Her  high  boots  were  of  silver  leather, 
over  white  silk  tights.  On  her  breast  hung  a 
flashing  cross  of  diamonds  and  she  carried  a 
silver  cross  with  a  lot  of  diamonds  outlining  it. 
She  wore  a  short  black  wig. 

Colleen  Moore  was  the  cutest  thing  imagi- 
nable in  blue  satin  overalls,  an  enormous  straw 
hat.  and  a  bright  red  wig. 

The  comedy  sensation  of  the  evening  was 
Marshall  Xeilan  and  Allan  Dwan  as  the  Smith 
Brothers.  They  made  up  to  look  exactly  like 
the  well-known  pictures  on  the  boxes  of  cough 
drops,  beards  and  all.  and  they  were  a  riot 
everywhere  they  went.  Xorman  Kerry  v  as  in 
the  uniform  of  a  French  officer. 

"X  K R.  and  Mrs.  Charles  Ray  wore  elaborate 
■'■''-'•Spanish  costumes  and  Lilyan  Tashman 
was  stunning  in  a  ballet  costume  of  black  velvet 
and  tulle,  with  very  short  skirts  and  full  length 
black  silk  tights.  She  also  wore  a  small,  heart 
shaped  black  velvet  hat  over  a  white  silk  wig. 
Anna  Q.  Xilsson  was  in  peach  velvet  panta- 
loons and  Renee  Adoree  was  a  French  peasant 
girl.  Corliss  Palmer  wore  a  hoop  skirt  of  the 
Louis  XYl  period,  in  apricot  satin  and  gold 
lace.  Jack  Pickford  was  a  bell  hop.  Claire 
Windsor  an  Eton  boy  and  Ann  Pennington 
wore  a  white  ballet  outfit. 

It  will  le  a  long  time  before  this  party  is 
topped. 

QUITE  a  while  since  we've  had  a  big  opening 
-in  Los  Angeles  and  the  excitement  that  at- 
tended the  recent  first  night  of  Douglas  Fair- 
1  anks'  "  Don  Q"  was  very  welcome.  Douglas 
and  Mary  and  Charlie  Chaplin  combined  to 
make  it  a  very  memorable  occasion,  for  they 
acted  as  though  the  entire  audience  were  their 
guests  ami  I  have  seldom  seen  any  one  of  the 
three  so  charming  or  entertaining. 

Douglas  made  a  sincere  and  impresssive 
little  speech  after  the  enormous  applause  for 
the  picture  had  subsided,  well  lighted  with 
humor,  and  then  introduced  the  members  of 
the  cast.  Man  Astor.  in  pale  pink,  her  gor- 
geous hair  a  delight  to  every  eye,  took  a  little 
bow,  followed  by  Jean  Hersholt.  Warner  Olin,

Lottie  Pickford  Forrest,  Donald  Crisp  and 
others.  Then  Charlie  took  the  stage  and  gave 
a  brief  pantomime  in  the  Spanish  atmosphere,

privilege  to  see  the  great  comedian  doing  bia

I'T  the  crowning  moment  of  the  evening 

wag  when  Doug  said  that  he  wanted  to  in 
traduce    tO   them    his   "best    pal   an. I   KVeKSt 

critic,"  Mary  Fairbanks.  As  she  came  forward 
Mary  was  obviously  nervous,  bul  she  looked 

tiHi  lovely  lor  words,  in  a  frock  of  pale  pink  and 
silver,  quite  long  in  the  skirt  and  very  -.imply 
made,  with  her  shining  eurls  piled  high 

She  made  a  faltering,  hesitant,  friendly  little 
speech  that  did  better  than  any  flower)  oratory, 
ami  brought  down  the  house. 

In  the  audience  1  saw  Mrs  Charlie  Chaplin, 
beside  her  husband.    She  wore  old  rose  velvet, 

made  empire  fashion,  with  a  rose  \el\ei  coat 
trimmed  in  ehim  hilla  to  match.  Colleen 
Moore  and  her  husband,  John  MeCormiek,

T  T  ERE  are  beautiful  teeth  for  the  ask-

add  so  immeasurably  to  one's  personality 
and  charm. 

Millions  have  found  them  in  this  new- 
way.  Dental  authorities  urge  it.  In  a 
few  days  you  can  work  a  transformation 
in  your  mouth.  Dull  teeth  thus  are  made 
to  glisten.  Gums  are  firmed  and  given  a 
healthy,  coral  color.

Film — that's  the  trouble 
Dental  science  now  traces  scores  of  tooth 
and  gum  troubles  to  a  germ-laden  film  that 
forms  on  your  teeth. 

Run  your  tongue  across  your  teeth  and 
you  will  feel  it — a  slippery,  viscous  coating. 
That  film  absorbs  discolor- 
ations  from  food,  smoking, 
etc.  And  that  is  why  your 
teeth  look  "off  color"  and 
dingy. 

It  clings  to  teeth,  gets 
into  crevices  and  stays.  It 
lays  your  gums  open  to 
bacterial  attack  and  your 
teeth  open  to  decay.

they,  with  tartar,  are  a  chief  cause  of

Ordinary  dentifrices  and  cleansing  won't 
fight  film  successfully.  Feel  for  it  with 
your  tongue.  Note  how  your  present 
cleansing  method  is  failing. 

Now  new  methods  are  being  used.  A 
dentifrice  called  Pepsodent — different  in 
formula,  action  and  effect  from  any  other 
known.  Largely  on  dental  advice,  the 
world  has  turned  to  this  method.

It   accomplishes   two    important    things   at 
once:     Removes  that  film,  then   firms  the 
gums.     No   harsh    grit,    judged   dangerous 
to  enamel.

WHAT  wondrous    miracle    is  it   that 
"Pointex"  works  with  women's 
ankles?    Listen  and  we  will  tell  you. 

Those  twin  tapering  lines  that  spring 
from  the  shoe  top  at  the  back  of  the  ankle 
do  something  infinitely  greater  than  make 
"Onyx  Pointex"  stockings  wear  better. 
They  make  them  look  better.  They  create 
an  illusion  of  slenderness  even  where  slen- 
derness  is  not.  They  emphasize  the  natural 
beauty  of  the  ankle  where  it  exists.  They 
glorify  it.    They  give  itgrace,  charm,  allure. 

No  wonder  all  women,  whose  wisdom 
prompts  them  to  look  carefully  to  the  line 
between  skirt  hem  and  shoe  top,  point  to 
the  little  red  box  behind  the  counter  and 
say,  emphatically,  "Onyx  Pointex."

The  American  Beauty  is  coming  back.  When  Kathleen  McDonald 
married,  for  the  second  time,  three  years  ago,  she  announced  her 
retirement  from  the  screen.  Still  happily  wed,  she  has  returned 
to  the  studios  to  play  "The  Desert  Healer,"  a  First  National  pro- 
duction 


department  got  mixed  up  on  this  fact  and  sent 
out  a  statement  that  Buddy  has  formerly  been 
the  janitor  at  the  University. 

It  was  on  the  ice  at  Red  Bank.  New  Jersey, 
where  the  school  was  filming  some  ice  boating 
scenes,  that  the  handsome  Buddy  confided  an 
amusing  studio  marital  mixup  that  threatened 
"Beau  Geste." 

Alice  Joyce  has  been  cast  for  the  role  of  the 
aunt  of  the  hero.  The  hero,  however,  hadn't 
been  cast.  Brenon  looked  over  the  available 
people  and  finally  decided  upon  Tom  Moore. 
But,  years  ago,  Alice  and  Tom  were  husband 
and  wife,  and  for  Alice  to  appear  as  Tom's  aunt 
— and  aunts,  you  will  recall,  are  usually  rather 
a  bit  older  than  their  nephews — was  a  little  too 
thick.    So  the  lovely  lad}-  retired  from  the  part. 

"Buddy"  was  about  to  start  for  the  Coast 
when  we  saw  him.  "I'm  only  hoping  I'll  have 
time  enough  to  stop  off  home  a  couple  of  days 
on  my  way  West,"  he  said,  twisting  shyly 
about.  "I  want  to  see  my  mother.  But,  gosh, 
I  dread  the  fellows  at  the  University.  Won't 
they  razz  me,  though?"  And  he  shook  a 
doleful  head. 

He  should  worn-,  however.  No  less  a  person 
than  Jesse  Lasky  says  he  is  one  of  the  greatest 
male  finds  in  years. 

Till!  marriage  that  came  pretty  much  as  a 
surprise  was  that  of  Pauline  Garon  and 
Lowell  Sherman.  Pauline  had  hinted  around 
about  it  a  couple  of  times — but  then  she  used 
to  be  engaged  to  Gene  Sarazen,  the  golf  champ, 
and  nothing  came  of  that.  Although  gentle- 
men prefer  blondes,  they  don't  always  take 
them  seriously,  so  it  was  more  or  less  a  surprise 
when  Lowell  Sherman  lifted  the  piquant 
Pauline  off  the  train  and  rushed  her  to  the  Los 
Angeles  marriage  license  bureau. 

They  were  married  by  a  deputy  city  elerk. 
Mi<s  Garon's  sister  and  Mr.  Sherman's  mother 
witnessing   the  marriage.     Immediately  after 


their  own  ceremony,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Sherman 
acted  as  witnesses  to  the  marriage  of  Edwin 
Martin,  an  assistant  director  working  with 
Sherman,  to  Mae  A.  Feely. 

The  day  following  the  wedding,  Pauline 
Garon  Sherman  began  work  on  a  new  picture 
called  "The  Virgin  Wife."  As  soon  as  it  is 
completed  the  newlyweds  will  go  abroad  on  a 
honeymoon. 

SOUXDS  like  a  press  agent  yarn,  but  it 
actually  happened.  Word  of  honor. 
Gloria  usually  takes  her  studio  lunch  at  the 
same  table  every  day.  having  the  same 
waitress.  The  other  day  she  chose  to  sit  at  the 
other  end  of  the  restaurant.  After  lunch  her 
former  waitress  came  ti  the  marquise  crying. 
And  Gloria  was  so  touched  by  the  girl's  devo- 
tion that  she  engaged  her  as  a  personal  maid 
for  her  studio  dressing  room. 

A  COLLECTION"  of  the  poems  written  by 
Barbara  La  Marr  will  soon  be  published. 
Here  are  two  stanzas  from  one  which  she  called 
"The  Savage": 

Yes,  I  would  have  put  away  God  and  the  world, 

And.  into  space,  hope  of  eternity  hurled. 

To  have  clasped  the  dream  form  of  love  to  my 

breast. 
Forgetting  all  else  but  the  lips  I  caressed. 

For  woman's  life  was  love  in  life's  beginning. 
And  the  hypocrite  alone  calls  it  sinning. 
But.  if  'twere  the  highway  of  sin.  I  would  trod 
Straight  on — till  I  returned  unto  dust  and  sod. 

GEORGE  HACKATHORNE  landed  in 
Xew  York  from  a  protracted  stay  abroad 
just  as  his  former  sweetheart,  Louise  Glaum, 
up  and  married  Z.  M.  Harris,  theatrical  pro- 
ducer of  Broadway.  Louise  Glaum  was  one  of 
the  first  screen  vamps.  She  has  been  retired 
from  pictures  for  a  number  of  years

Nola  Luxford,  the  only  cinema  player  from  New  Zealand 

The  Gal  from  New  Zealand 

Vy  Cal  York 


WE  have  stars  in  our  films  from  almost 
every  country  across  the  sea,  includ- 
ing the  Scandinavian. 

One  of  these  days  far  off  New  Zealand  is  go- 
ing to  be  represented  in  the  cinema  heaven. 
Already  their  representative  is  in  our  midst  in 
the  person  of  beautiful  Xola  Luxford.  She  was 
not  "discovered"  dancing  in  a  cabaret  by  an 
American  producer;  nor  working  for  a  mere 
pittance  in  a  foreign  film  studio. 

Nola  wasn't  discovered  at  all.  And  still 
isn't. 

Three  years  ago  she  crossed  the  high  seas. 
without  any  invitation  from  an  American  film 
company,  but  with  a  grim  determination  to 
break  into  our  movies.  Miss  Luxford  had  read 
columns  of  propaganda  concerning  the  diffi- 
culties that  beset  young  girls  trekking  to  Holly- 
wood to  do  just  this.  But  like  the  thousands  of 
other-;,  she  believed  this  wasn't  meant  for  her. 
She  was  going  to  succeed.  However,  she 
wisely  fortified  herself  with  enough  capital  to 
last  one  year.  New  Zealand  is  farther  away 
from  Hollywood  than  Massachusetts  or  Iowa 
are.  and  Nola  figured  it  might  take  a  year  for 
her  to  get  started. 

After  finding  a  modest  place  to  live,  near  the 
film  center,  the  little  New  Zealander  began  the 


usual  rounds  of  the  studios.  Then  she  dis- 
covered that  most  of  the  newspaper  stories 
were  true.  On  all  sides  Nola  met  girls,  just  as 
pretty  as  herself  perhaps,  who  had  been  storm- 
ing the  studio  gates  for  four  and  five  years,  and 
were  satisfied  to  get  one  or  two  days'  work  a 
week.  She  also  encountered  the  legion  who 
don't  get  even  that  much — the  girls  who  often 
tramp  the  distance  from  one  studio  to  another 
for  lack  of  airfare. 

Miss  Luxford  from  New  Zealand  was  not 
discouraged.  Again  she  felt  these  conditions 
were  not  meant  for  her.  She  refused  to  allow 
anything  to  halt  her  purpose. 

Gradually  casting  directors  began  to  notice 
her  gentle  beauty,  and  to  remember  her.  Soon 
she  became  one  of  the  two-day-a-week  workers. 
Then  she  got  some  bits,  and  parts,  and  now — 

But  this  is  not  a  success  story.  Nola  Lux- 
ford is  not  a  star,  nor  even  a  leading  lady.  She 
has  advanced  to  playing  in  western  pictures, 
and  is  doing  that  just  now.  She  has  appeared 
opposite  Fred  Thompson.  Her  courage  is  in- 
domitable, and  with  her  beauty  and  intelli- 
gence. Nola's  friends  are  convinced  she  will 
have  a  success  story  before  long. 

And  all  New  Zealand  is  waiting  for  Nola 
Luxford  to  make  good.

M  \V. — I  wouldn't  call  Mae  Mun 
mouth  exaggerated,  only  exasperating  to  have 
to  see  it  so  near  .mil  yet  bo  far  awaj  Do  I 
ever  teU  the  truth  about  myself?  Well,  I'll  tell 
you  something.  1  was  really  the  boy  in  that 
cherry  tree  cutting  act  but  1  let  George  Wash 
ington  get  the  credit  for  it.  I'm  generous  that 
way.  1  like  Jackie  Coogan's  hah  cut.  I'm 
thinking  of  having  my  whiskers  bobbed  tint 
way.  Mary  Piekford  was  Owen  Moore's  wife 
before  she  married  Douglas  Fairbanks.  That's 
Helene  Chadwick's  own  Dame.  The  villain  in 
•■  l'he  Lady  of  Quality"  was  Earl  Foxe. 

A.  A.  A. — Julian  Eltinge  began  life  in  Butte. 
Montana,  in  the  year  of  1883.  They  called 
him  William  Dalton  at  his  christening. 

Grace,  California. — You've  got  no  idea 

how  Ions  white  whiskers  aid  a  >heik.  You 
ought  to  see  mine.  Tom  and  Owen  Moore 
aren't  twins.  Merely  brothers.  Bert  l.ylcll  is 
twelve  years  older  than  his  beautiful  Claire 
Windsor,  who  was  born  in  1S07. 

Joe,  Southampton,  I..  I. — Yes,  Thomas 
Meighan  has  a  good  speaking  voice.  He  was  on 
the  stage  before  he  went  into  the  silences,  SO 
naturally  he  has  a  good  voice. 

D.  S..  Oakland.  Calif. — Lew  Cody  is  di- 
vorced from  Dorothy  Dalton.  He's  never  re- 
married. Dorothy  is  happily  married  to  Ar- 
thur Hammerstein  and  I  hardly  think  she  will 

return   to  the  screen. 

BONNY,  FaishavEN,  Mass. — Gloria  Swan- 
son  has  been  married  three  times.  Her  hus- 
bands were  Wallace  Beery  and  Herbert  Som- 
born.  The  present  husband  is  the  Marquis 
de  la  Falaise  de  la  Coudraye.  Mary  Philbin  is 
playing  in  "Stella  Maris.''  You'll  see  it  soon. 
So  all  the  girls  are  talking  about  John  Gilbert. 
Richard  Dix  and  Ramon  Xovarro?  There  you 
have  three  great  fellows! 

Y'vette,  Detroit,  Mich. — I'll  quote  from 
your  letter,  with  your  kind  permission,  made- 
moiselle. "Can  a  little  French  girl  join  your 
numerous  admirers?  If  yes!  and  I  take  it  for 
granted,  I  will  begin,  but  first  let  me  tell  you 
my  name,  Yvette,  not  yet  fifteen  and  in  Amer- 
ica since  1924  exactly  ten  months.  But  I 
know  you.  I  mean  your  magazine,  since  the 
American  soldiers  first  came  in  Paris  in  1017. 
I  saw  your  magazine  then  and  since  that  time 
my  father  bought  it  for  me  every  month.'' 
Very  well,  Y'vette,  I  am  glad  to  meet  you. 
Please  let  me  compliment  you  on  your  English. 
You  write  a  very  charming  letter.  Adolphe 
Menjou  is  an  American.  He  was  born  in  Pitts- 
burgh. But  very  likely  his  ancestors  were 
French.  You're  a  lucky  girl — to  have  a  father 
who  looks  like  Mr.  Menjou.  Renee  Adoree 
was  born  in  your  own  France.  Lille  was  her 
birthplace.  Charlie  Chaplin  was  born  in 
Paris  of  English  parentage. 

H.  L.,  Calgary,  Canada — J.  Warren  Kerri- 
gan isn't  married.  He  has  one  brother  and 
one  sister.  You  have  a  pretty  name;  I  am 
sentimental  about  it,  anyway. 

H.  M.,  El  Paso,  Texas. — Colleen  Moore  is 
married  to  John  McCormick,  but  it  isn't  John, 
the  famous  tenor.  Perhaps,  Colleen's  John 
does  sing  tenor,  but  he  never  tries  it  in  public. 
The  tenor's  name  is  spelt  McCormack.  Lois 
Wilson  is  still  unmarried,  in  spite  of  all  the 
rumors  of  her  engagement.  Famous  Players 
filmed  "Seventeen."  Jack  Piekford  and  Louise 
Huff  played  the  leading  roles.  I  haven't  heard 
that  Mary  Piekford  will  film  "Rebecca  of  Sun- 
bybrook  Farm"  again.

THHERE  has  been  an  avalanche  of 
■*■  them — foreign  stars  and  starlets. 
Blondes  and  brunettes,  male  and 
female.  They  seem  to  arrive  on 
every  ship  that  hits  New  York. 
Directors  too.  And  now  several  of 
the  companies  are  reaching  into 
Europe  for  their  authors.  Just 
another  cycle.  Some  of  them  will 
make  good  and  others  will  flop.  But 
in  the  meantime  there  are  American 
actresses  who  are  not  given  an  op- 
portunity because  the  producers 
want  to  put  their  importations  into 
parts  where  they  cannot  fail  and 
which  will  make  them  commercially 
profitable. 

Anyhow,  Vilma  Banky  w a s 
brought  in  that  way,  and  we  are  not 
complaining. 

TT  will  be  interesting  to  watch 
the  progress  of  Lya  de  Putti,  the 
Hungarian  actress  who  is  featured  in 
UFA's  "Variety,"  soon  to  be  released 
by  Paramount.  From  reports  that 
have  reached  this  country  that  baby 
has  our  tempestuous  Pola  tied  to  a 
cradle.  If  she  carries  on  here  like 
she  is  reported  to  have  done  in  Berlin 
she  won't  last  long  with  the  American 
public.  Maybe  that  stuff  about  her 
jumping  out  windows  was  mere  pub- 
licity, but  the  buildings  are  so  much 
higher  here  that  she  will  probably 
confine  herself  to  a  quiet  jump  in  the 
lake  once  in  a  while.  Let's  give  the 
gal  a  chance. 

TSN'T  it  good  to  see  Charlie  Ray 
come  back?  At  last  he  has  de- 
cided, or  his  producers  have  decided 
for  him,  that  he  has  grown  up  and 
should  put  on  his  motion  picture 
long  pants.  That  is  what  happens 
to  him  in  "The  Auction  Block," 
which  is  no  world  beater  of  a  picture, 
bul  which  brings  Charlie  to  the 
screen  in  a  new  development  and  is 
worth  seeing  for  that  reason. 

Ray  has  lived  and  learned.  It 
cost  him  every  cent  he  had  and  a  lot 
he  didn't  have  to  convince  himself  he 
was  not  a  combination  of  star  and 
producer,  and  it  will  be  interesting, 
and  I  hope  pleasant,  to  watch  him 
work  out  his  revised  career  in  his 
new  surroundings. 

CAMUEL  GOLDWYN   has  con- 

^tributed  a  lot  to  motion  pictures. 
He  has  made  some  great  discoveries 


among  players,  and  still  is  making 
them.  Justly  proud  of  these,  Sam 
remarked  the  other  day  that  he  wa> 
the  man  who  discovered  Fanny 
Ward.  But  when  it  was  pointed  out 
that  his  age  on  his  marriage  license 
was  only  forty-three,  Sam  hastily 
explained  that  he  meant  he  had  dis- 
covered Fanny  for  pictures. 

TN  the  old  days  a  great  deal  of  bunk 
■^publicity  came  out  of  the  motion 
picture  offices.  Some  of  it  has  been 
spoofed  by  Photoplay  and  other 
publications  with  the  result  that 
very  little  imaginary  stuff  is  issued 
at  the  present  time. 

But  the  public,  justly  dubious  of 
past  publicity,  is  now  leaning  back- 
ward in  its  skepticism. 

When  a  noted  actress  recently 
sought  a  divorce  a  hard-boiled  cynic 
asked  me  if  the  newspaper  stories  of 
her  procedure  were  not  just  pub- 
licity! And  another  doubting 
Thomas  writes  in  to  say.  "You  can't 
make  us  believe  that  Gloria  Swanson 
gets  any  seventeen  hundred  dollars 
a  week." 

As  a  matter  of  fact  she  gets  seven 
thousand. 

Diogenes  might  find  his  honest 
man,  but  I  doubt  whether  he'd  find 
the  man  to  believe  him. 

TVUPERT  HUGHES,  defender  of 
^"Hollywood  morality,  attributes 
strong  drink  and  profanity  to  George 
Washington. 

Ibanez,  the  Spanish  writer,  at- 
tacked the  King  of  Spain,  taking 
care  to  be  across  the  Pyrenees  from 
Spain  when  he  did  it. 

Rupert  stands  his  ground  at  home 
in  revealing  the  personal  foibles  of 
the  Father  of  our  Country,  but  what 
would  have  happened  to  him  had  he 
picked  on  a  living  ruler,  as  Blasco 
did,  and  attempted  personal  criti- 
cism of  the  living  president? 

Or,  suppose  some  person  of  promi- 
nence had  discovered  a  motion  pic- 
ture censor  whose  private  life  was  not 
quite  above  reproach,  and  turned 
the  spotlight  of  publicity  on  some  of 
this  hypothetical  censor's  peccadil- 
loes. How  the  ultra-good  would  rise 
to  denounce  the  unhappy  detainer ! 
From  the  Father  of  his  Country  to 
the  censor:  from  the  sublime  to  the 
ridiculous — self-righteous  minds 
know  no  distinction.

he  hangs  his  hat  at  the  Metro  Goldwyn  Mayer 
studios.  Lew  is  a  hali  inch  t.ilKr  than  that 
other  Lew,  Stone  by  name,  who  weighs  four 
pounds  less.  Ronald  Oilman,  while  the  same

J.V.S. — Wonderful  concentration  youpossess! 
I  couldn't  notice  in  those  love  scenes  in  "The 
Dark  Angel"  that  Ronald  Colman  appeared 
short.  As  far  as  I  was  concerned,  he  wasn't 
there  at  all.  There  was  just  Vilma  Hanky  for 
me.  Hut  then!  You  know  how  it  is  when  a 
man  gets  as  antiqued  as  I.  Howsomever,  your 
eyes  deceived  you,  for  Ronald  is  not  short.  In 
fact,  he's  nearly  six  feet  tall  and  weighs  165 
pounds.  Since  you're  interested  in  this  mat- 
ter of  altitude,  Xita  Xaldi  is  the  tallest  of  the 
j;als,  Xita  being  five  feet,  eight .  in  her  shod  feet. 
Can't  say  about  stocking  feet,  for  she  never 
wears  them — stockings,  I  mean.  Xc.xt  to  Ni- 
ta  comes  Anna  Q.  Xilsson,  who  is  five  feet, 
seven.  Close  up  to  Anna  Q.,  comes  Claire 
Windsor,  five  feet,  six  and  a  half. 


Made  in  Germany  by  a  series  of 
pictures  he  did  for  UFA,  Andre 
Mattoni  is  being  imported  here  by 
Carl  Laemmle.  Called  the  Ger- 
man Valentino,  he's  just  like  Rudy 
except  for  his  features,  his  coloring 
— he's  blonde  and  blue-eyed — and 
his  Viennese  ancestry

Mrs.  P.  0.  N. — Eleanor  Boardman  gets  her 
-alary  and  her  mail  over  at  the  Metro-Goldwyn 
.Mayer  Studios,  Hollywood.  You  can  reach 
her  there.  Sorry  your  other  letter  went 
astray. 

Herbert   J.,   Chicago,   III. — Well,    well, 

you're  some  statistic  securer,  aren't  you?  Rut 
nothing  ever  phases  me.  Here  goes:  Pauline 
Garon  was  born  in  Montreal,  Canada,  on  the 
ninth  day  of  the  ninth  month  of  the  year  be- 
fore prohibition  1903.  She  was  on  the  stage 
for  two  years  before  she  entered  pictures  in 
1921.  Pauline  is  not  married,  so  you  can  try 
your  luck  in  writing  her  at  First  National 
studios,  Hollywood.  Reginald  Denny  was 
born  on  the  twentieth  of  November,  1891. 
Viola  Dana  made  her  entry  into  this  world  in 
June.  The  year  was  1898  and  the  day  was  the 
twenty-eighth.  Shirley  Mason,  Vi's  sister,  was 
born  the  same  month  twelve  days  earlier  two 
years  later.     May  McAvoy  was  born  in  1901. 

R.  D.  W. — My  boy,  you  are  no  friend  of 
mine.  Insinuating  that  I  have  a  wife!  R.  D. 
W.,  how  can  you?  Haven't  you  read  my  dec- 
larations of  independence  that  I  have  been 
publishing  in  these  columns  all  these  long 
months.  Ah,  woe  is  me.  Xo.  Mae  McAvoy 
is  not  a  sister  to  Viola  Dana  and  Shirley  Mason. 
There  is  another  sister  in  the  Mason-Dana 
family  but  that  is  Edna  Flugrath,  not  Mae. 
J.  Warren  Kerrigan  hasn't  made  a  picture  since 
"Captain  Blood,"  but  Conrad  Xagel  and  Alice 
Terry  are  very  much  on  the  job.  You  can 
reach  them  both  in  care  of  Metro-Goldwyn 
Mayer.  You  desire  ages.  Here  you  are. 
Johnny  Hines,  31;  Raymond  Griffith,  36;  Ray- 
mond Hatton,  34;  Ronald  Colman.  35;  Robert 
Agnew,  27;  and  Carmel  M}rers,  25. 

Acnes  Elizabeth  Anjn  Mallongree. — 
Does  your  family  call  you  all  of  that?  Sure, 
it's  a  grand  name.  Am  I  privileged  to  answer 
questions?  I'm  paid  for  it.  Lillian  Gish  is 
twenty-eight.  She's  taller  than  she  looks, 
being  five  feet,  four  and  a  half  and  weighing  one 
hundred  and  twelve.  Norma  Talmadge  has 
been  married  for  more  than  ten  years  to  Jo- 
seph Schenck.  Tom  Mix's  two  daughters  are 
named  Thomasina  and  Ruth.  Thomasina  is 
four  years  old  this  month  and  Ruth  is  about 
sixteen.     Little  Mary  Desmond  is  nearly  six. 


Dabney,  Chapel  Hill,  N.  C. — Address 
Betty  Branson,  in  care  of  the  Lasky  Studios, 
Hollywood,  California,  and  send  her  a  quarter. 
That  v.ill  secure  her  picture  for  you,  I  know. 

Audrey,  M.  T. — Colleen,  the  flapper,  was 
nice  enough  to  honor  Port  Huron.  Michigan. 
by  being  born  there.  She  is  married,  but  she 
hasn't  any  children.  Clive  Moore  is  Colleen's 
brother,  but  not  Owen  Moore. 

Helen  C.Bicknell.  Indiana.— Fred  Thom- 
son was  born  in  Pasadena.  Cal.  Where  did 
you  get  the  idea  that  Harold  Lloyd  had  only 
one  hand?  He's  got  both  of  them  and  stuffed 
full  of  talent  and  gold  they  are. 

F.  K. — I  like  anything  as  well  as  I  like  movie 
actors.  Yes,  Buster  Collier  is  adopted,  by 
his  foster  parents  and  about  half  a  million  fans. 
He  has  black  hair  and  those  fatal  brown  eyes. 
It  was  he  who  was  in  "The  Lighthouse  by  the 
Sea."  Ricardo  Cortez  was  born  on  the  19th 
of  September,  1899.  You  figure  out  how  old 
he  is. 

Jeorgetto,  Berwick,  Pa. — Here's  your 
nationalities  and  I  hope  you  keep  the  ten 
bucks.  Rudolph  Valentino  is  Italian,  the  Tal- 
madge sisters  are  Americans,  as  are  Lila  Lee 
and  Madge  Bellamy. 

L.  A.  M..  Youngstown. — It  was  Lillian 
Gish  and  Richard  Barthelmess  in  "Broken 
Blossoms"  and  no  less  than  John  Barrymore 
and  Nita  Naldiin  "Dr.  Jekyl  and  Mr.  Hyde." 

L.A.  L. — Norman  Kerry  isn't  an  actual  star. 
but  he's  a  darned  good  actor,  take  it  from  your 
Uncle  Henry.  Yes.  Norman's  married,  thirty- 
two  years  old,  dark  brown  of  eye  and  hair. 
Write  to  the  stars  at  the  studios  where  they  are 
working,  enclosing  twenty-five  cents,  andyou'll 
get  their  pictures.     You're  welcome. 

Just  Miss  Inquisitive. — Is  zat  so?  I've 
seen  them  lots  curiosier  than  you.  About 
Patsy  Ruth.  That  gay  flapper  was  born  in 
the  old  city  of  St.  Louis,  the  seventeenth  day  of 
the  first  month  of  the  year  1904.  She  isn't 
married.  Neither  is  Ben  Lyon.-  Ben  was  born 
in  the  South,  yes  suh.  at  Atlanta.  Georgia. 
Ben's  now  twenty-live,  six  feet  tall  and  weighs 
160.

That's  grand  of  you,  Ann.    Thanks.    William

Ohio,  and  educated  in  Oklahoma.  He  has  one 
son  by  his  first  marriage  to  Diana  Miller,  three

Alwa. — Must  be  nice  and  warm  down  there.

Ivy  R. — Go  ahead  and  be  in  love  with 
George  O'Brien  and  his  wife  won't  pull  your

household  treasures.  George  is  twenty-six  and 
he  was  born  in  'Frisco.  Write  to  him  in  care 
of  Fox  Studios,  Hollywood. 

Mibs. — You  want  to  call  me  "Daddy"  too? 
Isn't  that  sweet  of  you?  Are  you  a  blonde  or 
a  brunette?  That  always  helps.  Sure,  I  can 
answer  questions  about  Harrison  Ford.  I 
get  enough  practice.  Harrison  is  a  grand  actor 
and  he  could  get  more  praise,  for  praise  doesn't 
seem  to  spoil  that  boy  as  it  does  so  many  of  the 
others.  He's  thirty-four  and  was  born  in  Kan- 
sas City.  Mo.  He's  not  married,  only  divorced. 
Write  to  him  at  Paramount.  Of  course,  I'm 
in  my  late  eighties.  That's  what  makes  me  so 
brilliant,  that  and  my  natural  polish.  Alberta 
Vaughan,  the  cutie,  is  just  twenty.  Now  could 
that  girl  be  anything  but  American?  Behave 
yourself.  She  was  born  in  Ashland,  Ky.  You 
promise  to  think  more  highly  of  me.  I  hope 
you  are  one  of  those  kids  whose  word  is  valu- 
able. 

Helen  F.  L—  Another  query  about  Xeil 
Hamilton.  The  boy's  coming  on.  You  can 
hear  from  Xeil  if  you  write  him  in  care  of  the 
Lasky  Studios,  Hollywood.  You  admired  his 
work  in  "The  Golden  Princess"  did  you? 
Well,  then,  we've  got  one  thing  in  common' you

HOW  They  Do  It 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PACE  3 1  ] 


the  proper  distance  from  the  miniature  Cof 
course  much  closer  than  if  it  were  a  real  build- 
ing), and  shooting  from  a  lower  level.  The 
other  is  called  timing.  For  example,  if  a 
miniature  tree  is  to  fall  and  the  camera  set-up 
is  close  enough  and  low  enough  to  give  the 
miniature  the  proper  height  when  it  is  seen  on 
the  screen,  then  you  must  be  careful  of  the 
speed  with  which  it  falls. 

A  little  tree  falls  rapidlj — a  big  tree  slowly. 
And  here  is  where  the  timing  enters.  Ultra 
speed  cameras  are  used.  The  faster  you  crank 
the  more  pictures  you  get  per  second,  and  the 
slower  the  thing  seems  to  move  when  you  see 
it  on  the  screen.  You  have  all  seen  slow- 
motion  pictures.  These  were  made  with  slow- 
motion  cameras,  or  what  are  more  commonly 
termed  ultra-speed  cameras.  And  it  is  through 
this  slow  motion  photography  that  the  little- 
tree  is  made  to  fall  at  the  proper  speed  to  be 
the  big  tree  it  represents,  or  the  miniature 
stream  is  made  to  run  at  the  proper  speed  for  a 
giant  river. 

And  so  to  get  back  to  the  fire  which  is  still 
threatening  "Our  Nell.  "  A  torch  is  applied  to 
the  miniature  tenement.  At  the  proper  count 
little  invisible  wires  tied  to  window  sashes  are 
pulled  and  burning  brands  crash  to  the  street 
below.  And  all  the  time  the  cameras,  driven 
by  motors  at  the  proper  speed,  placed  at  the 
right  distance  from  the  conflagration  and 
almost  flat  on  the  floor,  are  grinding  away  and 
recording  this  great  fire. 

OVER  on  some  other  part  of  the  lot,  and  at 
any  time  which  suits  the  director's  conven- 
ience, T.  Roy  Barnes,  with  Miss  Windsor  in 
his  arms,  dashes  through  a  black  velvet  door 
and  down  a  street  backed  with  more  black 
velvet. 

Two  things  must  be  remembered,  however. 
The  actors  must  come  out  of  the  velvet  door 
at  the  right  spot  and  at  the  right  time  or 
"count."  This  is  necessary  so  that  Williams 
can  match  up  the  fire  negative,  which  is  the 
background  with  action  in  it,  with  the  negative 
of  Miss  Windsor  and  Barnes,  which  becomes 
the  moving  mat. 

The  remainder  is  simple,  and  is  done  by 
Williams  and  his  printing  process  over  at  his 
laboratory. 

On  the  screen  you  see  Barnes  dashing  from 
a  burning  tenement  with  Miss  Windsor  in  his 
arms  while,  in  reality,  neither  of  the  actors  has 
been  close  enough  to  a  fire  to  singe  a  single 
eyelash. 

Blanche  Sweet's  rescue  of  Colman  in  "The 
Supreme  Moment"  was  worked  out  in  the 
same  manner  as  this,  as  have  been  most  other 
burning  building  thrills  in  pictures  made  in  the 
last  few  years. 

Now  for  the  destruction  of  Pontius  Pilate's 
palace  with  the  struggling  mass  crushed  be- 
neath, in  "Ben  Hur. "  Of  course  the  palace 
was  done  in  miniature,  while  the  people  did 
their  acting  out  on  the  lot,  where  the  street  was 
built  with  a  dead  white  backing.  Again  the 
timing  had  to  correspond  with  that  in  the  fall- 
ing of  the  palace. 

The  throng  of  people  was  lined  up  and  re- 
hearsed. Two  lines  were  drawn  in  the  street  a 
fixed  distance  apart — which  represented  the 
space  where  the  ruins  of  the  palace  would  fall, 
and  the  throng  was  sent  dashing  wildly  down 
the  street.  At  a  fixed  signal,  all  caught 
between  the  two  marks  fell  flat  on  the  ground. 
Those  who  had  not  reached  the  first  line  halted 
and  registered  terror.  Those  who  had  passed 
the  second  mark  fled  on,  looking  back  and  also 
registering  terror.  You  see.  those  caught 
between  the  two  marks  were  the  people  buried 
under  the  debris  of  Pilate's  palace — those  on 
either  side  had  escaped. 

Then  came  the  trick  printing  with  the  two 
negatives,  with  considerable  painting  out  of 

vy  advertisement  In  rrtoTori..YY  magazine  is  guaranteed. 


those  who  had  fallen  flat  between  the  two  lines, 
and  you  have  the  palace  falling  on  the  panic- 
stricken  throng  in  the  street.  The  accompany- 
ing drawings  will  help  you  to  visualize  this. 

The  rescue  of  Doris  Kenyon,  which  is  also 
illustrated  by  the  artist,  was  accomplished  in 
this  manner.  One  negative  was  shot  of  a  very 
real  and  very  steep  precipice,  the  cameramen 
suspended  on  a  platform  far  out  over  the  edge 
to  get  the  proper  angle. 

Another  negative  was  shot  of  Miss  Kenyon's 
horse  racing  madly  along  what  looked  like  a 
fence — but  what  was  the  inevitable  white  drop. 
Doris  and  the  horse  had  to  reach  a  certain 
mark  at  a  certain  count — for  over  at  the  preci- 
pice there  had  been  rocks  and  dirt  released  at 
a  certain  count — the  horse  had  to  rear,  and 
Colman  had  to  reach  the  frenzied  beast,  start- 
ing from  outside  the  camera  line,  and  he.  too. 
must  arrive  on  the  right  count.  There  could 
be  no  waiting  for  man  or  horse.  They  took  it 
perhaps  forty  times  before  everything  was 
exactly  right,  and  then  the  two  negatives  (the 
precipice  background  and  the  moving  mat) 
were  ready  for  the  printing  wizard,  and  audi- 
ences got  a  great  thrill. 

You  remember  the  mountain  of  water  pur- 
suing Conway  Tearle  in  "The  Great  Divide." 
Of  course  they  shot  the  torrent  in  miniature. 
Conway  and  his  horse  made  their  hairbreadth 
dash  on  a  dark  night  and  in  an  artificial  rain- 
storm with  nothing  but  a  director  threatening 
— then,  although  they  did  have  quite  a  time 
making  the  steed  climb  a  slippery  and  sloping 
wooden  bridge,  which  was  out  on  the  back  lot. 
Then  up  in  Mr.  Williams'  laboratory,  they 
finished  one  of  the  greatest  thrills  ever  wit- 
nessed. 

And  the  marvelous  battle  scenes  in  "The 
Big  Parade."  There  were  the  big  guns  tearing 
huge  craters  in  Xo  Man's  Land  made  on  one 
negative,  and  the  boys  marched  on  and  on  and 
on  in  the  other  negative,  and  Mr.  Williams 
brought  them  together  in  his  printing  labora- 
tory. However,  it  was  by  no  means  as  easy 
as  it  sounds,  for  this  was  one  of  the  hardest 
pieces  of  moving  mat  printing  ever  accom- 
plished. 

CO  critical  is  the  public  that  the  building, 
^photographing  and  printing  of  these  minia- 
tures must  be  of  the  very  highest  type  of  work- 
manship obtainable.  It  might  be  interesting  to 
know  that  this  work  in  "The  Big  rarade" 
alone  "cost  approximately  $70,000  for  the  back- 
ground negative  and  the  moving  mat  negative. 
The  miniature  battlefield  was  about  one  hun- 
dred thirty-five  feet  long  and  more  than  seven 
thousand  miniature  shells  were  fired  in  a 
period  of  forty  seconds. 

On  another  picture — "The  Barrier" — which 
shows  a  fierce  storm  at  sea.  icebergs,  and  a  ship 
caught  and  crushed  in  an  ice  floe,  more  than 
SSs.ooo  have  been  spent  to  create  these 
illusions. 

.Mr.  Waller,  technical  camera  expert  of  the 
Famous  Players  Long  Island  Studio,  had  never 
seen  a  cyclone:  yet  he  was  instructed  to  pro- 
duce one  for  D.  W.  Griffith's  picture,  "That 
Royle  Girl."  Mr.  Waller  did  extensive 
research  work  on  the  subject,  and  then  made 
one  to  experiment  with.  A  scientific  knowledge 
of  the  working  of  the  law  of  gravity,  by  the 
way,  is  necessary  to  create  this  phenomenon 
of  nature. 

In  the  basement  of  the  studio  Mr.  Waller 
connected  up  three  vacuum  cleaners.  With 
three  suctions  of  air  and  some  dust,  he  made  a 
tiny  cyclone.  This  was  photographed  in  slow- 
motion  so  that  the  camera  and  technical  crew 
might  study  the  formation  and  activity  of  the 
cone. 

From  his  observations  of  the  film.  Mr.  Waller 
was  able  to  prepare  the  series  of  wash  drawings 
which,    photographed    in    animated    cartoon 


Photoplay  Magazini     Advertising  Section 


i  i 


fashion,  represented  the  action  of  the  i  >  i  tone's 
cone  in  this  sequence  of  the  picture 

Several  hundred  drawing  had  n>  be  made, 
each  one  depicting  gradually  the  advance  ol 
the  cone  toward  the  Inn,  which  it  finally 
demolishes  These  were  photographed  in  rota 
tion  on  motion  picture  negative,  and  this  riega 
live  double  exposed  on  the  t8o  fool  miniature 
scene  containing  the  houses  and  trees  rhus 
we  got  a  very  good  illusion  of  the  nun-  ol  a 
cyclone  advancing  overa  village  and  sweeping 

bouses  and  tries  out  of  its  path 

The  animated  cartoon  idea  was  also  used  in 
"A  kiss  for  Cinderella."  when  the  pumpkin 
and  mice  change  into  the  coach  and  tour  The 
first  lew  feet  of  the  sequence  showed  real  mice 
ami  pumpkin;  from  then  on  J56  wash  draw 
ings  of  the  gradual  transformation  were  photo 
graphed  in  rotation  and  gave  the  impression  of 
being  animated 

Double  exposures  of  one  aitor  playing  two 
parts  is  the  oldest  and  most  familiar  camera 
triek  to  the  fans. 

Just  recently,  however,  has  it  1  een  perfected 

to  the  point  where  the  actor's  two  serein 
shadows  can  light  each  other's  cigarettes  and 
shake  hands. 

Tom  Meighan.  you  recall,  did  this  in  "Irish 
Luck  " 

A  X  in\  isihle  line  from  top  to  bottom  di\  ides 
«"*ach  frame  of  the  negative  in  half  One 
half  at  a  time  is  exposed,  photographing  one 
half  of  the  set. 

Tom  appears  as  Lord  Fitskugk  on  the  left 
hall,  and  as  I'om  Donahue  on  the  right  half. 
If  you  remember,  Tom's  two  shadows  are  sit 
ting  side  by  side  on  a  divan  in  the  instance  «>i 
the  cigarette  lighting.  Fitshugh  leans  over 
and  gets  a  light  from  Donahue's  cigarette.  The 
illusion  is  perfect.  Hut  the  cigarette  from 
which  his  lordship  really  got  the  light  was 
tacked  onto  a  chair  just  outside  the  line,  on 
the  half  of  the  set  not  being  photographed  at 
that  moment.  Only  the  lighted  end  of  the 
cigarette  projects  into  Fitshugh' S  half  of  the 
picture. 

Then  when  Donahue's  half  of  the  scene 
was  being  filmed,  Tom  leans  forward  and 
holds  his  cigarette  in  exactly  the  spot  where 
the  chair  had  been,  the  lighted  end  being  out- 
side his  half  of  the  picture.  Think  of  the 
perfect  matching  this  requires! 

It  is  done  this  way.  As  Lord  Fitzhugh  per- 
forms on  one  side  of  the  set,  the  director  times 
his  actions,  counting  the  seconds  out  loud. 
He  knows  just  where  his  lordship's  right  arm 
is.  for  instance,  at  the  sixteenth  second.  When 
Donihuc  begins  to  perform  on  the  other  side 
of  the  set,  his  arm  must  be  in  a  corresponding 
position  at  the  sixteenth  second.     Tricky. 

A  thrilling  moment  in  "Aloma  of  the  South 
Seas."  Gilda  Grey's  new  picture,  occurs  when 
a  shark  eats  a  sailor.  If  you  want  this  thrill 
you  naturally  have  to  take  it  synthetic. 

The  shark  cost  S3. 000.  It  was  made  of 
flexible  rubber,  and  its  insides  consisted  of  a 
maze  of  electric  wiring.  Outside  the  body 
were  several  buttons  which  the  actor  could 
operate  in  his  fight  with  the  shark.  It  swims, 
wiggles  its  tail  and  bites  electrically. 

I  guess  most  of  the  suffering  for  art  is  done 
by  the  actors  who  tie  themselves  into  knots  to 
create  the  illusion  of  paralysis,  amputated  legs 
and  so  on.  John  Gilbert  is  shown  in  the  last 
reels  of  "The  Big  Parade"  with  an  amputated 
leg.  Jack  liarrymore  in  "The  Sea  Beast.'' 
also  does  it.  It  is  merely  a  painful  process  of 
strapping  the  foreleg  back.  In  "The  Street  of 
Forgotten  Men,"  with  Percy  Marmont,  a 
very  lucid  expose  of  cripple  fakes  is  shown. 
Marmont  had  his  arm  strapped  to  his  back  for 
hours  at  a  stretch  during  the  filming  of  this 
picture.  It  hurts  the  first  fifteen  minutes, 
Percy  said.  After  that  the  arm  becomes 
numb. 

A  vigorous  massage  is  necessary  to  bring 
it  back  to  life,  but  it  doesn't  feel  normal  for 
weeks.  Percy  says. 

Lon  Chaney  has  his  tricks  of  deformity 
down  so  pat  that  they  are  almost  painless  to 
him  now.

as  lovely  as  the 

skin  of  your  body 


— thousands  of  women  at  last  have 
found  the  way  to  attain  it .  .  .  and 
keep  it  .  .  .  try  this  method  FREE 

WOMEN  in  every  walk  of  life  ...  of 
all  ages  .  .  .  are  asking, "Isn't  there 
some  way  to  really  improve  my  complex- 
ion?" These  women  think  it  strange  that 
the  skin  of  their  face  and  hands  should 
be  less  attractive  than  the  skin  of  their 
body . 

There  is  a  reason.  There  is  a  way  to 
stop  this  "unequal  ageing."  Unequal 
because  the  body  skin  looks  years 
younger  and  lovelier  than  the  skin  of 
the  face  and  hands.  1  he  way  to  equalize 
this  is  Frostilla  Fragrant  Lotion. 

Frostilla  Lotion  has  been  famous  for 
more  than  fifty  years,  for  keeping  hands 
soft  and  white  in  spite  of  housework  and 
other  duties — for  preventing  chaps  and 
dryness.  T  housands  of  women  are  now 
using  it  for  their  face  and  neck  as  well. 

Frostilla  Fragrant  Lotion  is  the  same 
as  the  natural  moisture  made  by  the  tiny 
skin  glands.  These  glands  send  natural 


moisture — "precious  moisture"  we  call 
it — to  all  your  skin.  Enough  for  your 
body  skin,  because  that  is  protected  by 
clothing.  But  not  enough  for  the  skin  of 
face,  neck  and  hands,  for  this  skin  i . 
always  exposed.  The  result  is  that  this 
exposed  skin  is  almost  always  dryer, 
harsher,  less  smooth  than  the  protected 
body  skin, 

It  is  easy  to  correct  this.  It  is  easy  to 
supply  the  extra  amount  of  moisture 
that  the  face  and  hands  should  have 
with  Frostilla  Lotion.  Use  it  regularly  on 
all  exposed  skin  and  you  will  keep  it  as 
soft  and  beautiful  as  the  skin  that  is 
always  protected. 

Your  skin  quickly  absorbs  Frostilla 
Lotion  without  leaving  the  least  bit  of 
stickiness.  Its  fragrance  you  will  love. 

You  need  Frostilla  Lotion  always 
when  raw  winds,  artificial  heat,  sun  and 
summer  burns,  dust  and  powder  dry  the 
moisture  from  your  skin  leaving  it  harsh 
and  scaly. 

We  want  you  to  try  Frostilla  Lotion 
at  our  expense.  Let  us  send  you  a  trial 
bottle — absolutely  free. Mail  the  coupon.

This  time  it  is  rouge — a 
back-to-nature,  better 
quality  rouge — PO-GO 
ROUGE ! 

It  does  its  work  beauti- 
fully without  giving  itself 
away.  Soft  and  creamy, 
it  blends  with  the  skin- 
takes  the  powder  with 
ease — and  looks  as  nat- 
ural as  "Sixteen." 
There're  two  shades: 
Brique  for  fair  complex- 
ions and  sunny  days . . . 
Ronce  for  darker  skins 
and  silvery  nights.

Years  ago  the  old-fashioned 
mustard  plaster  was  the  favor- 
ite remedy  for  rheumatism, 
lumbago,  colds  on  the  chest 
and  sore  throat. 

It  did  the  work,  but  was  sticky  and 
messy  and   burned  and  blistered. 

Musterole  has  taken  the  place  of  the 
mustard  plaster,  without  the  blister. 

Keep  this  soothing  ointment  on  your 
bathroom  shelf  and  bring  it  out  at  the 
first  cough  or  sniffle,  at  rheumatism's 
first  warning  tingle. 

Made  from  pure  oil  of  mustard,  with 
the  blister  and  sting  taken  out,  Mus- 
terole penetrates  the  skin  and  goes 
to  the  seat  of  trouble. 
To  Mothers:  Musterole  is  also  made 
in  milder  form  for  babies  and  small  chil- 
dren. Ask  for  Children's  Musterole.

than  with  Miss  Daniels  as  Iris.  Remember 
i  Ik  51  cue  where  Iris  lakes  a  drink  of  water  and 
a  drop  dings  to  her  lips  after  she  has  set  down 
the  glass?  That  ought  to  make  one  of  the 
loveliest  close-ups  yet  seen  in  motion  pictures. 
Or  when  she  is  lying  in  the  bed  asleep,  her 
tawny  hair  tousled.  That  much  for  the  beauty 
that  Miss  Daniels  could  attain.  And  how  mag- 
nificently could  she  do  that  splendid  climax! 
Belie  could  give  to  Iris  March  that  quiet 
dignity,  that  godliness,  that  orchidaceous  love- 
liness that  Aden  gave  her. 

Malcolm  St.  Clair  is  the  director  to  bring  the 
Arlenesque  sophistication  to  the  screen.  And 
by  all  means  let  the  picture  be  done  in  color, 
with  Iris'  green  hat  and  yellow  car.

Norma   Not   the   One   and   Only 

Xew  York  City. 

I  have  long  been  an  amused  reader  of  the 
letters  which  the  fans  write  to  you  under  this 
department.  Some  of  these  letters  offer  sane 
and  constructive  criticism,  but  most  of  them 
seem  to  be  written  on  the  spur  of  the  moment 
and  to  be  guided  by  the  emotions  of  the 
writers,  rather  than  by  their  best  critical 
faculties. 

I  am  glad  to  note  in  the  latest  issue  of 
Photoplay  that  you  give  proper  praise  and 
credit  to  Renee  Adoree  for  her  thoroughly 
artistic  performance  in  "The  Big  Parade." 
There  was  not  a  single  false  note  or  the  slightest 
hint  of  the  theatrical  in  Miss  Adoree's  touching 
portrayal  of  the  little  French  peasant  girl.  I 
have  read  many  reviews  and  comments  on  this 
picture,  and,  so  far,  you  are  the  first  to  give  her 
anywhere  near  the  amount  of  praise  that  she 
deserves. 

I  was  also  very  much  interested  in  Adela 
Rogers  St.  Johns'  article  on  Norma  TaLmadge 
as  our  one  and  only  "great"  actress.  I  agree 
very  heartily  with  everything  Mrs.  St.  Johns 
says  concerning  Miss  Talmadge's  beauty,  in- 
telligence, and  ability  to  portray  many  widely 
different  roles;  but  I  object  to  her  saying  that 
Miss  Talmadge  stands  alone. 

How  can  Mrs.  St.  Johns  ignore  Pauline 
Frederick?  Here  is  an  actress  who  can  match 
Norma  Talmadge  any  day  for  great  perform- 
ances. Who  can  forget  the  Pauline  Frederick 
of  "Madame  X,"  "Three  Women,"  and  espe- 
cially "Smouldering  Fires"?  That  was  a  por- 
trayal that  Norma  Talmadge  would  be  proud 
to  claim.

Rambova  Boosters 

New  York  City. 

As  believers  in  fair  play,  we  would  like  to 
thank  Photoplay  for  its  defense  of  Natacha 
Rambova  in  February's  issue.  Miss  Rambova 
has  been  treated  most  unfairly  by  the  majority 
of  reporters  and  interviewers.  They  have 
placed  her  in  a  ridiculous  light  and  made  her 
seem  petty  by  twisting  her  words  spoken  for 
publication. 

We  have  commented  among  ourselves  on  the 
splendid,  womanly  manner  in  which  Mrs. 
Valentino  has  conducted  herself  throughout 
the  entire  affair,  and  sincerely  hope  things  will 
end  satisfactorily  for  her  through  Photoplay's 

assistance. 

May  we  assure  Mrs.  Valentino  of  our  moral 
support  and  best  wishes  for  a  successful  career?

you  cannot  but  marvel  where  this  director  has 
been  hiding. 

Those  two  productions  were  superlative. 
Who  would  have  thought  the  plays  of  Sir  James 
Iiarrie  could  be  presented  in  an  adequate 
manner  on  the  screen?  Without  being  able  to 
make  use  of  the  brilliant  dialogue  of  the  speak- 
ing plays,  Mr.  Brenon  seemed  to  get  the 
utmost  out  of  his  material  and  preserving  as 
far  as  was  possible  the  delicious  whimsy  and 
humor  of  the  great  playwright. 

Perhaps  we  shall  be  fortunate  enough  to  see 
Mr.  Brenon  directing  Betty  Bronson  in  the 
role  of  the  well-meaning  but  mistaken  little 
daughter  in  "Alice  Sit-by-the-Fire."  That 
would  be  delightful. 

Mr.  Brenon  should  make  a  wonderful  picture 
of  "Beau  Geste." 

The  moving  picture  world  needs  more  pro- 
ductions like  "The  Dark  Angel."  Show  and 
find  clothes,  with  ready-made  plots,  do  not 
make  drama.

Here  I  come  with  a  brickbat  in  one  hand  and 
a  bouquet  in  the  other.  The  bouquet  is  for 
Strongheart.  the  most  intelligent  and  beautiful 
dog  I  have  ever  seen.  And  the  brickbat  I  am 
going  to  throw  at  whoever  is  responsible  for  the 
pictures  he  has  been  playing  in,  and  his  sup- 
porting cast. 

All  the  stars  realize  their  popularity  with  the 
public  depends  upon  the  right  kind  of  stories 
and  parts.  Just  a  few  bad  ones  are  enough  to 
pull  them  down  from  the  pedestal.  The  same 
applies  to  Strongheart.  Just  because  he  is  a 
dog  is  no  reason  why  they  should  be  careless 
al  out  his  stories.  He  is  a  wonderfully  intelli- 
gent a^tor — much  more  so  than  many  of  the 
clot  lies-horses  that  we  have  paraded  before  us. 

And  name  the  vamp  that  has  as  beautiful 
eyes  as  Strongheart ! 

Fans,  as  long  as  Strongheart  can't  talk  for 
himself  and  get  good  pictures,  let's  do  the  talk- 
ing for  him.

John's  Gum  Chewing  Lyric 

Detroit.  Mich. 

Hard-boiled  Detroit  is  being  revealed  this 
month  for  what  it  really  is — a  truck  driver  with 
a  heart  of  gold.  The  miracle?  "The  Big 
Parade."  Sobs  and  hankies  and  strong,  sup- 
porting shoulders  in  the  theater,  lines  a  mile 
long  at  the  box-office,  general  enthusiasm,  some 
vitriol  from  the  hundred  percenters  and  even 
cheering  newspaper  editorials.  The  w.  k. 
public  is  not  the  dumb-doni  as  advertised.  We 
appreciate  beauty  and  sound  sentiment,  and 
we  can  swallow  a  dose  of  truth  sometimes. 

I  had  nevei  before  realized  the  lyrical  possi- 
I  -lilies  of  chewing  gum  and  hob-nailed  shoes. 
We  begin  to  see  now  that  Sherman  was  right. 
And.  at  last,  a  "mother  scene"  that  isn't 
mushy  drivel,  but  sweet  and  quiet  as  it  should 
be.

Critics  Criticized 

Lexington.  Mo. 

It  gives  me  great  displeasure  to  throw  this 
brickbat  at  my  favorite  magazine,  Photoplay. 
I  have  always  been  pleased  with  the  fairness  of 
your  critics  in  their  reviews,  but  recently  I  have 
had  cause  to  change  my  mind. 

For  example,  in  the  February  issue  under 
the  Six  Best  Pictures  was  "Stagestruck."     Of

llo\ !  Directors 

St  Louis,  Mo 
D  W  Griffith  would  be  easily  the  greatest 
director  if  he  would  only  give  the  audience 
credit  for  a  little  more  intelligence  than  it  bad 
in  the  nickelodeon  days,  and  realize  that  it  is 
not  necessary  to  explain  every  ait  ion  and  to 

label  every  scene. 
1  have  never  missed  a  James  Cruze  picture 

and  will  not  do  so  if  1  van  help  it.  Lubitsch  has 
what  Griffith  lacks,  and  vice  versa.  Res 
Ingram  is  always  good.  King  Vidor  and  Her 
bert  Brenon  have  come  into  prominence  with 
Big  Parade"  and  "Peter  Pan."  Henry 
King  returns  to  form  with  "Stella  Dallas." 
M.'.l  St.  Clair  and  Clarence  Brown  are  rapidly 
rising  directors,  but  Monta  Bell  seems  to  have 
stopped  by  the  wayside  to  take  a  rest. 

I  would  like  to  suggest  that  the  name  of  tin- 
director  be  featured  more  strongly  in  the  ex- 
ploitation of  good  features.  Except  in  the 
cases  of  Cruze.  Griffith  and  C.  B.  DcMille,  the 
directors'  names  are  seldom  mentioned.  The 
reviewers,  of  course,  accord  them  all  due 
credit,  but  the  general  public  gives  it  all  to  the 
players. 

A  good  picture  is  always  one  well  directed. 
Therefore  the  name  of  the  director  should  be  a 
promise  of  future  worthwhile  pictures.

I  was  taught  that  failure  has  its  lessons,  per- 
haps even  more  valuable,  than  success,  and  I 
have  tried  always  to  remember  that  and  to 
profit  by  it. 

X*  AM  and  always  have  been  of  intense  vital- 
ity. My  parents  recognized  this.  They  never 
used  the  curb.  They  never  attempted  to  sup- 
press my  emotions.  If  I  went  to  my  father 
with  enthusiastic  accounts  of  something  I  had 
been  doing,  he  was  never  too  busy  to  listen.  I 
was  guided — never  led  nor  driven.  Any  urge 
that  I  might  have  had  for  self-expression  was 
always  given  free  rein,  even  encouragement 
That,  I  am  convinced,  was  of  infinite  value  in 
increasing  my  ability  to  express  myself,  and  it 
is  perfectly  obvious  what  such  ability  means  to 
an  actress. 

I  know  that  because,  as  a  child,  I  was  never 
suppressed,  never  browbeaten,  never  ruled  by 
fear,  my  mind  was  free  from  inhibitions  and 
ready  to  go  steadily  ahead  to  whatever  was  in 
stoce  for  me. 

My  father  was  an  army  officer  and  we  trav- 
eled a  great  deal  from  post  to  post.  That,  also, 
had  its  broadening  influences  and  its  educa- 
tional bearing.  At  these  army  posts  much  of 
my  life  was  spent  outdoors.  My  father  devel- 
oped in  me  a  fondness  for  outdoor  sports — 
skating,  riding  and  other  exercises — so  that,  in 
addition  to  my  mental  capacities,  I  have  him  to 
thank  for  my  robust  body  and  usually  perfect 
health.  I  imagine  I  was  something  of  a  tom- 
boy, but  I  never  was  checked,  and  I  can  assure

The  Hair-Free  Beauty  of 
Her  Soft  White  Arms  *  * 

The  hair-free  skin  of  her  smooth, 
round  arms  was  like  the  creamy 
petal  of  a  rose— soft  as  velvet  to  his 
impulsive  caress.  All  women  were 
not  like  that — he  knew.  She  knew 
that  before  she  learned  of  NEET 
her  arms  were  blemished  with  hair. 

The  wonderful  thing  about  Neet, 
the  dainty  hair-removing  cream,  is 
that  it  is  ready  to  use  the  moment 
you  buy  it.  You  merely  smooth  it 
on  and  then  rinse  away  the  unsight- 
ly hair.  The  liberal  sized  50c  tube 
can  be  had  at  almost  every  drug

Something  different 
for  fobbed  Hair 

There  is  a  tremendous  difference  in  bobs.  Some 
are  wonderfully  attractive  and  becoming,  while 
others,  well  — which  kind  is  vours? 

I  wish  you  could  picture  the  becoming  kind  I 
have  in  mind  — the  sort  that  makes  men  turn  to 
ndmir*.  I  can't  tell  you  what  the  color  is,  but 
it's  full  of  those  tiny  dancing  lights  that  somehow 
suggest  auburn,  yet  which  arc  really  no  more  ac- 
tual color  than  sunlight.  It's  only  when  the  head 
is  moved  that  you  catch  the  auburn  suggestion— 
the  fleeting  glint  of  gold. 

You  have  no  idea  how  much  your  bob  can  be 
improved  with  the  "tiny  tint"  Golden  Glinc 
Shampoo  will  give  it.  If  you  want  a  bob  like  that

have  been  of  inestimable  benefit  to  me  in  my 
screen  caret  r 

Another  thing  he  did  for  me  was  to  obliterate 
any  self-consciousness.  Why,  when  we  were 
living  at  Key  West  and  I  was  seven  years  old, 
1  was  asked  to  sing  at  a  concert,  and  my  par- 
ents told  me  that  I  showed  not  the  slightest 
indication  of  stage  fright.  Is  it  necessary  to 
say  bow  much  help  that  was  to  me  later  in  life? 

My  father  was  transferred  to  Porto  Rico  and 
the  beauty  of  that  island  is  among  my  most 
vivid  recollections.  It  was  my  father  who 
pointed  out  this  beauty  to  me  and  taught  me  to 
appreciate  it.  I  was  about  thirteen  then  and 
my  favorite  diversion  was  riding.  I  rode  with 
the  young  officers  at  the  post,  and  they  have 
told  me  that  I  never  would  take  a  dare.  Any 
trick,  any  stunt  that  they  did,  I  would  at 
least  attempt. 

It  was  in  Porto  Rico  that  I  made  my  first 
appearance  on  the  stage.  I  had  the  leading 
role  in  "The  American  Girl,"  a  little  operetta 
given  by  my  school.  After  that,  my  father  was 
sure  that,  although  I  had  not  decided  what  my 
future  was  to  be,  it  would  be  connected  in 
some  manner  with  theatricals,  for  I  had  en- 
joyed the  experience  thoroughly. 

I  AM  called  a  well-dressed  woman.  That  also 
is  due,  I  think,  to  some  innate  quality,  as 
is  my  love  for  the  theater.  As  a  child  I  was 
always  crazy  about  "dressing  up."  Perhaps  I 
had  a  great-great-aunt  who  was  a  modiste 
or  a  model;  I  don't  know.  Anyway,  my  favor- 
ite game  was  putting  on  one  of  my  mother's 
dresses  and  going  to  call.  I  was  never  fussy 
about  which  of  her  dresses  I  used,  the  result 
of  which  was  that,  one  day,  after  I  had  trailed 
her  very  best  gown  through  the  streets,  she 
gave  me  two  older  ones  and  implored  me  to  let 
the  best  ones  alone. 

Application,  thoroughness,  patience,  concen- 
tration were  all  in  my  father's  curriculum.  One 
of  his  favorite  quotations  was:  "Genius  is  an 
infinite  capacity  for  taking  pains."  That  was 
elaborated  to  me  until  I  understood  that, 
when  anything  important  was  at  stake,  no  de- 
tail was  too  insignificant  to  deserve  attention. 
I  have  always  found  that  to  be  true  in  my 
work,  in  my  home,  in  the  care  of  my  children, 
in  my  dress,  in  everything  in  life  that  is  worth 
while. 

It  has  been  said  that  my  dress  is  distinctive. 
That  means  attention  to  detail,  in  addition  to 
knowing  what  I  want  and  what  suits  me — and 
that  is  self-expression.  Of  course,  sometimes 
we  make  mistakes,  but  if  we  realize  that  mis- 
take and  profit  by  it,  we  have  at  least  ac- 
complished something. 

All  this  early  training  of  mine  led  me  to  one 
firm  belief.  That  is,  that  if  there  is  anything 
you  want,  you  can  get  it  if  you  go  after  it  hard 
enough,  if  you  use  concentration  and  patience. 
And,  above  all,  if  you  are  sincere  and  honest  in 
your  desire.  I  want  to  go  back  a  few  years  to 
prove  that,  in  my  own  case  at  least,  that  is 
true. 

When  my  father  was  transferred  from  Porto 
Rico,  he  was  sent  to  the  Philippines.  My 
mother  and  I  went  to  live  in  Chicago.  One 
day.  about  ten  years  ago.  my  aunt  and  I  went 
to  visit  the  old  Essanay  studio.  I  was  inter- 
ested, asked  permission  to  appear  in  a  picture. 
In  those  days,  when  a  director  wanted  a  crowd 
in  a  picture,  he  called  in  his  friends.  The 
"extra"  business  had  not  been  developed. 

A  few  days  after  my  visit  I  was  sent  for  to  be 
in  "the  mob."  Even  then.  I  believe,  my  years 
of  training  in  self-expression  were  making 
themselves  felt  in  my  dress,  so  that  1  seemed  a 
little  different.  Also.  1  suppose  that  my  gray 
c\  es  or  are  they  green? — looking  out  of  a  face 
heavily  tanned  by  the  Porto  Rico  sun.  made 
me. somewhat  noticeable.  Whatever  the  rea- 
son, I  was  picked  out  of  the  crowd  that  first 
day-  to  do  a  "bit."  1  think  I  handed  a  bouquet 
to  the  bride,  or  something  like  that.  Anyway, 
1  was  immensely  thrilled,  and  1  decided  then 
thai   1  wanted  to  he  in  pictures. 

In  those  days  many  of  the  studios  specialized 
in  comedies.     1  was  determined  not  only   to  be 


in  pictures,  but  to  play  dramatic  roles.  I  had 
hoped  and  planned  up  to  that  time  to  be  an 
opera  singer.  I  had  a  good  voice  which  had 
been  tried  out  by  a  famous  teacher  in  Chicago, 
who  believed  I  could  be  a  singer  if  I  would 
work.  I  had  been  greatly  excited  over  the 
idea,  but  the  lure  of  the  motion  picture  sup- 
planted that  de-ire. 

I  worked  at  the  Fssanay  studio  for  several 
months  and  then  went  to  California.  There  I 
sought  Mack  Sennett.  I  met  him.  and  he  told 
me  to  come  to  the  studio  three  days  later  and 
he  would  have  work  for  me.  I  didn't  believe 
him,  but  I  went,  and  found  myself  scheduled  to 
play  "leads"  with  Bobby  Vernon  in  two-reel 
light  comedies.  This,  by  the  way.  was  Sen- 
nett's  first  light  comedy  company. 

I  didn't  want  to  do  this  work.  I  didn't  want 
to  play  comedies,  no  matter  how  light  they 
were.  I  had  been  playing  nothing  else  in  Chi- 
cago and  I  felt  that  my  forte  was  dramatic 
roles.  Still,  even  in  comedies.  I  was  still  in 
pictures,  and  dramatic  roles  might  come.  I 
stayed  there  some  months  and  then  sent  to 
another  company,  hoping  for  a  change  of  work. 
But  again  I  was  told  that  I  must  do  comedies. 

Then,  out  of  a  clear  sky,  came  my  chance. 
Even  before  I  started  my  first  comedy  with  the 
new  company — the  Triangle — I  was  told  that 
there  was  a  dramatic  role  for  me.  I  was  thrilled 
through  and  through.  I  heard  the  story.  The 
character  I  was  to  play  had  little  to  do  except 
swimming  and  diving.  I  couldn't  swim  a 
stroke  and  never  had  made  a  dive  in  my  life. 
Can  you  imagine  my  sensations? 

But  I  wanted  that  role  and  I  was  determined 
to  have  it.  I  went  to  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  tank  and 
told  the  instructor  what  I  needed.  For  three 
days  I  haunted  that  place — and  I  was  so 
frightened  that  every  time  the  instructor  tried 
to  teach  me  anything,  I  jumped  out  of  the 
tank.  "This  instruction  doesn't  mean  any- 
thing." I  told  myself.  "When  the  time  comes 
that  I  must  swim  in  the  picture.  I'll  be  able  to 
do  it  all  right." 

So  I  reported  to  the  director.  I  was  led  to 
the  end  of  a  dock  and  looked  down,  fourteen 
feet,  to  the  black,  oily  water.  It  was  a  night 
scene,  and  that  made  it  worse.  I  was  to  dive 
into  that  black  water — and  someone  told  me  it 
was  sixty  feet  deep) — the  idea  of  the  scene  being 
that  I  was  to  rescue  a  man  who  was  attempting 
suicide. 

I  hinted  gently  that  a  "double"  might  do  the 
dive.  The  director  told  me  carelessly  that  I'd 
better  do  it  myself:  it  would  give  me  more 
"confidence."  Confidence?  The  only  thing  it 
gave  me  was  terror. 

"Give  me  five  minutes."  I  said,  "and  I'll  tell 
you  whether  or  not  I'll  do  it." 

For  that  live  minutes  I  sat  on  the  end  of  the 
dock  and  looked  at  that  water.  I  pictured  my- 
self struggling  in  the  mud.  sixty  feet  down.  I 
imagined  everything  that  could  possibly  hap- 
pen. And  then,  suddenly,  my  desire  for  this 
opportunity  conquered  fear  and  I  realized  that 
I  couldn't  give  it  up  to  another  girl  who  would 
have  more  courage  than  I.  Besides.  I  might 
not  get  another  opportunity. 

SO  I  told  the  director  I  would  do  it.  He  ex- 
plained the  scene  tome,  while  I  shivered  with 
nerves,  yet  all  the  time  telling  myself  quietly 
that  I  didn't  feel  as  if  I  were  going  to  die  that 
night. 

"Camera!"  The  leading  man  was  called 
first  while  1  waited  like  a  race  horse  ready  to  go. 

"Miss  Swanson!"  I  ran  to  the  end  of  the 
dock  and  plunged. 

I've  always  wondered  whether  or  not  I  was 
fully  conscious  when  1  did  that.  I  don't  know 
even  now.  All  1  remember  is  that  I  went 
down — down — down — to  the  bottom,  sixty- 
feet.  At  least.  1  imagined  I  went  to  the  bot- 
tom. I  was  struggling — struggling  to  get  to  the 
top.  like  an  animal  that  is  thrown  into  the 
water  for  the  first  time. 

In  a  second  or  so  I  came  to  the  surface.  It 
had  seemed  like  hours  to  me.  although,  some- 
how. 1  had  known  that  I  would  come  up. 
There,  a  few  yards  from  me.  was  the  supposed 
suicide,  paddling  about  comfortably.    I  looked

at  him.  And  then  I  struck  out  and  twun  to 
him  as  it'  l  had  ixvn  used  t"  swimming  all  my

But,  strangely,  I  have  never  been  able  to  ih>

From  t  Iki t  time  l  played  in  ■  brief  seri

I  did 

Oiirse,  that  lucky  break  didn't  stem  so 
lucky  then,  but  it  really  ^as  because  Mr 
De  Mille  remembered  me.     The  chance  came 

again,  and  this  time,  when  I  could  go  with  him 
the  picture  was  a  much  better  one  than  the 
first  one  1  was  to  have  been  in.  This  second 
chance  came  when  the  Triangle  broke  up. 
Mr.  De  Mille  wanted  a  leading  woman  for 
"Don't  Change  Your  Husband,"  one  of  Ids 
greatest  pictures,  and  1  got  the  role. 

My  work  with  him  was  a  revelation  to  me. 
Endless  attention  to  detail  and  infinite  |>a- 
tieiue  were  among  his  characteristics.  I  did 
the  lest  1  knew,  and  studied  Mr.  De  Mille. 
Every  picture  1  made  with  him  taught  me 
something  new,  and  I  acquired  a  thoroughness 
of  technique  which  has  ion  invaluable. 

1  owe  Cecil  De  Mille  an  enormous  debt  of 
gratitude.  lie  impressed  upon  me.  as  my 
father  had.  the  necessity  for  concentration,  for 
patience,  for  care  of  detail,  and  every  picture 
gave  me  something  of  value,  something  I 
stored  away  for  future  use.  The  training  was 
priceless,  not  only  for  what  it  taught  me  about 
myself  and  about  picture-making,  hut  also  he- 
cause  it  brought  home  to  me  anew  what  my 
father  had  always  impressed  upon  me;  that 
every  experience  in  life  contains  some  lesson  by 
which  it  is  well  to  profit. 

I  have  never  forgotten  that.  I  never  shall 
forget  it.  It  is  the  same  today  as  it  was  in  my 
De  Mille  days.  One  can  never  learn  it  all.  but 
there  is  nothing  that  happens  that  does  not 
have  its  lesson. 

If  you  can  profit  by  those  lessons,  so  much 
the  better  for  vou. 


Just  an  American  Youth 

[  CONTIXUED  FROM  PAGE  39  ] 


pretentious  vehicle  of  a  motion  picture  career. 

Nine  j'ears  ago  Lloyd  went  into  pictures.  He 
is  not  old  now.  Just  in  the  mellow  part  of  the 
twenties  .  .  .  not  too  green  and  not  too  ma- 
ture. And  he  knows  the  full  value  of  the  attain- 
ment he  now  enjoys.  He  worked  for  it — 
struggled  for  it — toiled  for  it  ...  as  every- 
one does  who  makes  for  his  goal  success  in 
motion  pictures. 

Perhaps  I  am  prejudiced,  but  after  seeing 
several  of  Jack  Gilbert's  fiery  screen  per- 
formances. I  have  only  one  flaw  to  find  with 
Lloyd.  He  seems  to  lack  the  necessary  anima- 
tion that  sustains  suspense  and  elicits  applause. 
He  lacks  that  fine  flair  for  tempestuous  emo- 
tion that  sweeps  the  ladies  into  ecstasy.  Every 
great  lover  of  the  screen  and  stage  has  it. 
Lloyd  may  achieve  it  later. 

And,  on  the  other  hand,  Lloyd  may  be  wise 
in  not  cultivating  it. 

It  may  be  that  the  greatest  charm  of  Lloyd 
Hughes  lies  in  the  fact  that  he  does  not  emu- 
late the  passionate  procession  of  great  lovers 
who  rise  to  heights   .    .    .   and  fall. 

He  walks  steadily,  slowly,  loyally  onward. 
As  valiant  as  we  are  prone  to  picture  the  typi- 
cal American  youth. 

And  what  is  more  gratifying  than  a  glorified 
symbol  of  our  youth?

DOES  your  mirror  still  reflect  a  youthful  radiant  com- 
plexion? Ask  yourself  these  questions.  If  the  answer 
is  "no,"  then  you  are  being  unfair  to  yourself.  Every 
woman — no  matter  what  her  age — by  observing  the  laws  of 
nature  in  the  care  of  her  skin  can  prevent  fading  color, 
blotches,  and  other  blemishes,  and  keep  ever  fresh  the  charm 
of  youth  to  which  she  is  entitled. 

Thorough  cleansing  is  the  first  step  in  creating  or  pre- 
serving complexion  beauty,  and  among  medical  skin  spe- 
cialists, cleansing  with  a  pure  soap  and  warm  water  is  the 
method  most  highly  recommended. 

Start   this  simple  treatment  today 
and  watch  your  skin  groiv  younger. 

Get  a  cake  of  Resinol  Soap  at  your  druggist's.  Every 
night  with  warm  water  gently  work  the  thick,  creamy  lather 
of  Resinol  Soap  into  the  pores  of  your  skin.  Then  thoroughly  rinse  off 
your  face  and  splash  on  a  dash  of  cold  water  to  close  the  pores.  Within 
a  week  you  will  see  the  difference.  A  "finer  smoother  texture  in  your 
skin — a  softening  and  then  a  disappearance  of  those  insidious  little 
blemishes — a  ruddier  glow  of  health — a  more  youthful  appearance  in 
your  whole  face. 

Resinol  Ointment  is  a  ready  aid  to  Resinol  Soap.  In  addition  to  being  widely  used 
for  eczema,  rashes,  chafing,  etc.,  many  women  find  it  indispensible  for  clearing  away 
blackheads,  blotches,  and  similar  blemishes.     All  druggists  sell  the^e  products.

c  f  the  girls  get  very  artistic.  I  traveled  all  over 
the  country  and  in  Europe  with  them.  I 
stayed  two  years." 

"And  after  that  the  'Scandals.'  " 

The  corners  of  Louise's  mouth  curled  slowly 
upward.  "Yes,"  she  said,  in  her  quiet,  lazy 
voice.  "Immediately  after.  Fancy  that." 
Faint  lights  of  amusement  revealed  themselves 
in  the  depths  of  her  eyes. 

She  is  just  nineteen. 

"For  my  third  picture.''  she  explained,  shift- 
ing herself  languidly.  "I'm  supposed  to  play 
opposite  W.  C.  Fields  in  'The  Old  Army  Game.' 
I've  played  with  him  before  in  the  'Follies.' 
Now  they  want  me  to  play  opposite  him  over 
there.    But  I'm  not  going  to." 

"But  they've  announced  you  in  the  cast,"  I 
protested  weakly. 

"  Yes,"  said  Louise,  oh,  so  quietly.  "I  know 
they  have.  They  think  I'm  going  to  play  it. 
But  I'm  not.  I  don't  want  to  play  a  part 
where  I  race  around  a  funny  man  all  the  time. 
And  I  won't." 

CHE  hadn't  disarranged  so  much  as  a  lock  of 
^hair  while  making  thisdeclarationof  war.  She 
has  magnificent  simplicity.  Louise  will  prob- 
ably prevent  the  home-life  of  the  Paramount 
studio  from  becoming  monotonous  before  her 
contract  is  finished. 

"1  want  to  do  things  like  Gloria  Swanson," 
she  confessed.  "Most  of  these  movie  people" 
— she  paused.  She  sought  for  a  phrase.  "They 
slaay  me,"  she  continued  finally.  "But  I 
admire  Gloria.     I  admire  her  career.     She's 


gone  ahead  and  got  just  what  she  wanted.    I 
like  that." 

Louise  and  Gloria  may  very  well  be  sisters 
under  the  skin,  only  I  doubt  that  the  young 
Swanson  had  Louise's  poise  or  Louise's  exa'  i 
know  ledge  of  the  things  she  was  after.  But  the 
drive  of  ambition,  the  scuffing  off  of  all  unnec- 
essary, cluttering  things  from  the  path  of 
success,  the  magnificent,  compelling  charm  of 
the  complete,  young  realist,  these  are  their 
common  property. 

Gloria,  the  magnetic,  with  her  success  as 
her  bulwark,  is  definitely  maternal. 

Louise's  bedroom  is  cluttered  with  dolls  and 
a  toy  dog  as  big  as  Nana,  the  canine  nursemaid 
of  Peter  Pan. 

She  explained  that  she  was  originally  from 
Wichita,  Kansas. 

"Isn't  the  family  thrilled  by  your  sudden 
success?"  I  asked. 

She  looked  at  me  carefully.  She  stirred  the 
bedclothes  faintly.  "They  don't  know- 
about  it,"  she  drawled.  She  waited  and  then 
smiled. 

"My  mother  and  father  separated  when  I 
was  a  kid."  she  explained.  "My  father  thinks 
I'm  terrible." 

Her  black  eyes  were  languid. 

"In  our  family."  she  said,  "it  was  everybody 
shift  for  himself."  She  smiled  once  more  and 
waved  her  little  white  hand  to  indicate  her 
apartment.  It  is  a  Park  Avenue  apartment, 
and  in  Manhattan  there  is  nothing  more 
utterly  utter  than  a  Park  Avenue  apartment. 

"Well."  said  Louise.  "I  have." 


Your  Name!     What  Does  it  Mean  to  Your  Destiny? 

[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  35  ] 


detracts  from  your  power  to  study  your  own 
lesson  and  to  profit  from  it. 

Your  birth  number,  in  short,  tells  you  the 
job  you  came  on  earth,  to  finish  up.  If  you  try 
to  slack  that  job,  it  only  makes  it  so  much  the 
worse  for  you.  Whether  you  like  it  or  not,  it  is 
up  to  you  to  do  it.  And  if  you  know  how  to 
utilize  the  aid  you  may  obtain  from  a  careful 
study  and  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  in- 
fluence of  the  name  and  birth  numbers,  you 
may  put  that  job  over  with  the  greatest  ease 
and  satisfaction  to  yourself. 

There  are  nine  numerals  on  which  Life  oper- 
ates. Each  one  is  distinctive  in  itself  and  holds 
equal  power  for  development  and  success. 
There  are  no  lucky  or  unlucky  numbers.  It  is 
lucky  or  unlucky  according  as  you  obey  or 
break  your  numerical  law — it  is  generally  con- 
ceded to  be  unlucky  when  you  are  detected  in 
breaking  any  law. 

Each  of  these  nine  numbers  has  exactly  the 
same  meaning  where-er  found. 

Each  letter  in  your  name  has  its  number 
power.  Added  together  and  reduced  to  the 
common  digit  it  gives  you  the  numerical  in- 
fluence which  surrounds  you  in  this  life  and 
from  which  you  obtain  your  help  in  emer- 
gencies. 

It  is  merely,  to  use  another  illustration,  like 
a  man  who  has  a  commission  to  build  a  house. 
He  is  furnished  with  a  blue  print  and  a  quantity 
of  materials.  lie  may  build  it  as  he  pleases. 
Should  he  choose  to  put  the  attic  in  the  front 
porch  and   the  cellar  in   the  dining  room,   he 

may  do  so. 

Bui  if  he  intends  to  make  a  success  of  that 
house  and  one  which  will  1  c  a  joy  to  live  in.  he 
will  work  from  the  Hue  print  and  with  the 
materials  furnished  him.  regardless  of  what  his 
ncighl  or  is  putting  up  on  the  next  block 

So  your  blue  print  is  contained  in  the  power 


of  your  birth  number.  Your  materials  are  fur- 
nished you  from  the  power  of  your  name,  as 
well  as  the  amount  of  motive  power  you  can 
put  into  the  building. 

The  majority  of  our  difficulties,  to  continue 
this  simile,  are  brought  on  by  the  fact  that  we 
refuse  to  recognize  the  blue  print  as  such  and 
overlook  the  material  at  hand.  \Ye  roam  about 
looking  for  ^etter  material  or  lor  stuff  that  was 
never  intended  to  be  a  part  of  the  structure  we 
were  sent  to  this  world  to  build. 

Simple  enough  when  you  understand  it, 
isn't  it? 

YOUR  life  runs  in  cycles  of  nine.  Every  nine 
years,  therefore,  you  may  begin  again,  if 
you  choose,  to  build  more  wisely.  Put  unless 
you  build  with  knowledge,  the  result  will  be 
as  before. 

If  you  study  the  law  of  numerology  with  the 
thought  of  finding  the  power  of  application  and 
adjustment  that  will  enable  you  to  smooth 
your  own  path  in  life  and  to  meet  every  event 
with  courage  and  power  and  conviction,  you 
will  learn  that  there  is  strength  in  every  num- 
ber. If  you  are  seeking  for  a  "lucky  number" 
that  will  give  you  an  easy  path  to  a  selfish  per- 
sonal ambition,  go  to  a  fortune  teller — they 
have  plenty  of  them. 

Keep  in  mind  the  fact  that  your  baptismal 
name  is  never  an  accident.  It  not  only  gives 
you  power  on  which  you  may  safely  call  in 
times  of  emergency;  but  it  tells  you.  as  well,  the 
history  of  your  pasi  lives.  It  is  a  true  and  un- 
changeable history  of  just  where  you  stand  in  a 
cosmic  sense  and  how  much  you  have  yet  to 
learn  before  you  attain  the  perfection  that 
means  the  completion  of  your  cycle  of  expe- 
riences.

of  the  name  bestowed  at  birth  i>  there  to  help, 
if  it  was  but  understood  and  rcali  ted  For  this 
reason,  in  giving  the  name  foi  name  analysis, 
you  must  give  the  exact  name  bestowed  upon 
you  by  parents  at  your  birth  not  the  various 
names  you  have  chosen  since  that  time. 

To  change  the  name  carelessly  «ill  bring 
about  powers  that  we  may  not  be  readj  to  deal 
with,  when  it  is  done  thoughtfully  and  prayer 
fully,  it  is  because  the  spirit  understands  that 
the  time  has  come  to  add  new  experiences  and 
powers  to  those  already  possessed, 

your  name  may  be  your  making  or  your 
breaking  of  fortune.  It  may  take  you  Lightly 
on  toward  the  top  of  the  ladder  or  it  may  pre- 
sent hurdles  and  obstacles  that  develop  your 
soul  as  you  surmount  them.  And  anything 
that  will  give  us  any  light  on  that  compelling 
Bubject— OURSELF  -is  always  interesting. 
It  is  this  quality  of  curiosity  that  is  always 
leading  the  best  of  us  to  try  to  peer  into  the 
future  anil  to  wrest  from  it  our  secret  of  success. 
We  forget  that  the  future  will  always  take  care 
of  itself,  if  we  take  good  care  of  the  always 
fertile  present. 

THE  minds  that  have  become  so  scientific  as 
to  refuse  to  see  anything  not  capable  of  be- 
ing  tested  in  cubes— or  tubes — may  term  this 
curiosity  to  know  more  about  oneself  a  form  of 
superstition;  but  no  amount  of  cold  and  im- 
personal  science  can  entirely  eliminate  that 
nrge  of  soul  that  seeks  to  know  whence  we 
come  and  whither  we  go — nor  the  itch  to  know 
more  than  the  passing  day  may  reveal  to  us. 

The  Bible,  for  example,  contains  many  refer- 
ences to  numbers  and  to  the  significance  of 
names. 

"And  thou  shalt  be  called  by  a  new  name," 
was  said  to  the  prophet  Isaiah,  62 — 2.  "Thou 
hast  a  name  that  thou  livest,"  Rev.  3 — 1. 
"Neither  shalt  thy  name  be  any  more  13ram; 
nit  Abraham,"  Genesis,  17 — 5.  The  names  of 
Daniel  and  his  companions  were  changed — for 
a  purpose.  Christ  changed  the  names  of  Simon 
James  and  John,  when  it  became  necessary  for 
them  to  take  on  new  responsibilities  as  his 
disciples.    Saul's  name  was  changed  to  Paul. 

As  for  the  number  seven,  it  has  had  many  a 
cryptic  significance  attached  to  it.  There  are 
seven  days  of  creation,  seven  days  of  the  week, 
seven  primary  colors,  the  seventh  year  was  the 
year  of  rest.  Jacob  served  seven  years  for 
Rachel,  there  were  seven  years  of  plenty  and 
seven  of  famine.  In  the  destruction  of  Jericho, 
priests  bore  seven  trumpets  for  seven  days  and 
seven  nights  about  the  city.  There  were^even 
noted  raisings  of  the  dead  in  Scriptures,  and  in 
the  Lord's  prayer  there  are  seven  petitions. 

We  are  ready  now  for  the  first  step  in  Xum- 
erology.  Keep  in  mind  the  fact  that  Xumer- 
ology  will  not  foretell  the  future  for  you.  But 
it  will  teach  you  how  to  follow  the  law  under 
any  circumstance  and  to  obey  the  law  is  always 
a  plan  that  will  bring  success  and  happiness 
in  its  train,  whether  that  law  be  civic  or  moral. 

I  have  told  you  that  each  numeral  exists  as  a 
cosmic  force.  Xo  matter  where  you  find  it.  its 
number  power  remains  the  same.  If  you  in- 
voke that  power,  you  must  obey  its  law — or 
suffer  the  consequence. 

Each  numeral  is  also  three-sided.  It  has  a 
positive  power,  a  destructive  power  and  a 
negative  power,  according  to  your  use  of  it. 
The  number  one,  for  instance,  is  always  crea- 
tive. It  is  a  strong  number.  If  you  use  it  con- 
structively, you  will  be  always  aided  by  its

Telephone  Preparedness 


Nine  years  ago,  when  this  nation 
was  preparing  for  war,  it  found  the 
Bell  Telephone  System  ready  for 
service  at  home  and  abroad.  The 
war  found  the  Bell  System  prepared. 
From  its  technical  forces  so  needful 
to  meet  our  war-time  activities  in  this 
country,  fourteen  battalions  were 
organized  to  carry  to  the  front  the 
highest  developments  of  the  tele- 
phone art.  No  other  nation  had  so 
complete  a  system  of  communication 
to  aid  in  mobilizing  its  resources.  No 
other  nation  was  able  to  put  into 
the  field  a  military  communication 
system  of  equal  effectiveness. 

Fifty  years  ago  Alexander  Graham 
Bell,  the  inventor  of  the  telephone, 
gave  to  the  world  a  new  art.  He  had 
the  vision  of  a  nation-wide  telephone 


system  by  which  people  near  at 
hand  and  far  apart  could  talk  to  one 
another  as  if  face  to  face.  He  fore- 
saw a  usefulness  for  the  telephone 
which  could  not  be  achieved  with- 
out innumerable  developments, 
inventions  and  improvements,  to 
him  unknown.  But  not  even  he  fore- 
saw the  marvelous  applications  of 
telephony  which  gave  to  the  Ameri- 
can armies  that  fighting  efficiency 
which  is  possible  only  when  there 
is  instant  exchange  of  complete 
information. 

Since  the  completion  of  its  service 
in  time  of  war,  the  Bell  System  has 
devoted  itself  to  the  extension  of  the 
telephone  art  as  one  of  the  great 
agencies  for  the  development  of  the 
pursuits  of  peace.

creative  genius,  its  impulse  toward  construc- 
tion and  its  inflow  of  ideas.  If  you  u.-e  it 
negatively,  you  will  he  confronted  by  condi- 
tions over  which  you  fret  and  argue  and  shatter 
yourself  vainly.  It  will  use  you  instead  of  your 
using  it.  And  if  you  develop  its  destructive- 
form,  you  use  the  power  of  the  one  to  l.econe  a 
menace  to  yourself  and  your  community  by 
your  ability  to  fight  and  to  antagonize. 

The  key,  then,  to  your  name  power  lies  in 
the  alphabet  as  allied  to  the  numbers,  as  fol- 
lows: 

ABCDEFGHI 

123456789 

JKLMNOPQR 

123456789 

STUVWXYZ 

123456   "7   89 

The  method  of  obtaining  your  name  control 
number  is  easily  mastered.  Place  each  letter 
in  your  name  over  its  corresponding  numeral: 

DOUGLAS 

4   6   3   7   3   11 

FAI   RBANKS 

619921521 

Add  them  as  follows: 

4+S+3+7+3+l+l  =  25  =  7 
6+1+9+9+2+1+5+2+1  =  36  =  9 

Reducing  these  to  their  final  digit  by  adding 
2  and  5,  gives  the  number  7,  which  is  the  name 
power  of  Douglas.  Adding  the  numbers  from 
Fairbanks  gives  the  digit  9.  The  power  num- 
bers of  Douglas  and  Fairbanks  added  make 
7-9-16,  which  reduced  to  its  digit,  gives  us  7 
again.  Thus  7  is  the  name  power  of  Douglas 
Fairbanks. 

TO  arrive  at  the  numerical  influence  of  .his 
motivating  urge  or  ideality,  we  add  the 
vowels  of  both  names.  This  is  the  innerurge  that 
activates  him  in  any  emergency  and  it  is  this 
urge  that  should  be  followed  in  any  perplexity, 
for  it  represents  his  individual  power.  The 
vowels  will  be  added  like  this: 

DOUGLAS 
6   3         1 
FAI   RBANKS 
19  1 

Adding  these  numbers  gives  us  a  digit  of  3, 
a  numerical  influence  that  demands  self  ex- 
pression in  every  event  of  his  life.  His  birth 
date  being  May  23,  1883,  we  compute  the 
numerical  influence  by  ascertaining  the  number 
power  of  May  and  adding  to  it  the  numerical 
power  of  the  day  and  the  year,  each  of  which  is 
found  by  adding  the  figures  and  obtaining  the 
digit  of  each.  The  months  derive  their  numeri- 
cal significance  by  their  place  in  the  progres- 
sion of  the  months.  When  the  cycle  of  9  is 
reached  with  September,  the  digit  is  found  for 
October,  November  and  December.  The  fol- 
lowing is  the  table  of  the  months: 

January     February     March     April       May 

12  3  4  5 

June     July     August     September    October 

6  7  8  9  1 

November     December 
2  3 

May  being  the  5  month,  we  add  to  this  the 
digit  of  23,  which  is  also  5.  The  6gures  of  1883 
added  together  give  us  a  total  of  2  as  follows: 

May     23     1883 
5       5         2 

Adding  these  figures  together  thus  5+5+JJ 
=  12,  which  resolved  to  its  digit,  is  3.  This 
gives  Mr.  Fairbanks  the  same  destiny  number 
as  his  ideality.  Anything  that  he  really  goes 
after  in  earnest  is  bound  to  come  his  way,  for  he 
has  but  lew  difficulties  to  overcome,  save  in  his 


own  variable  disposition,  which  makes  it  diffi- 
cult for  him  to  make  up  his  mind  or  to  keep  it 
made  up.  He  should  be  associated  always  u  ith 
people  who  will  keep  him  to  the  line  and' in  this 
instance  he  will  do  his  very  best  work,  as  his 
instincts  always  bid  him  do.  As  the  year  1926 
will  give  him  the  influence  of  the  numhtr  1.  it 
-.■.ill  have  a  most  distinct  significance  to  him 
and  to  his  work.  It  means  the  beginning  of  a 
new  cycle  for  him  and  it  is  in  his  power  to  direct 
this  cycle  in  any  way  he  wishes  and  thus  to 
dominate  his  career  for  the  next  decade. 

To  sum  up,  you  have  been  shown  the  method 
of  finding  your  numl  er  power  of  both  name  and 
birth.  The  vowels  of  your  name  will  indicate 
your  individuality  or  motivating  power  in 
everything  you  do.  It  is  the  attitude,  in  short, 
with  which  you  approach  life.  The  sum  of  the 
vowels  and  consonants  added  together  will  tell 
you  the  aid  that  life  will  give  you  in  meeting 
the  problems  of  your  destiny  number.  The 
birth  or  destiny  number  tells  you  the  lesson  you 
must  learn  in  life  and  also  shows  you  the  in- 
fluence each  year  will  bring  you  and  the  man- 
ner in  which  you  may  use  life  and  its  oppor- 
tunities to  the  best  advantage.  Keeping  this 
key  in  mind,  we  will  go  on  to  the  next  name 
analvsis.  which  is,  of  course,  that  of  Mary 
Pick'ford. 

You  will  recall  that  I  cautioned  you  to  give 
your  exact  baptismal  name  for  an  analysis — 
all  of  it.  the  discarded  or  disliked  middle  name 
and  all.  Mary  Pickford  having  been  born 
Gladys  Smith,  her  name  chart  would  read 
like  this: 

Gladys  Smith 
April  8,  1893 

Ideality 1 

Aids 2 

Destiny .- 6 

1926 3 

From  this  analysis,  if  the  exact  name  ami 
date  of  birth  are  given — and  if  not  given  cor- 
rectly, then  the  analysis  in  any  case  is  of  no 
value  whatever — we  find  the  motivating  urge 
of  this  name  that  of  a  1.  This  indicates  that 
she  is  of  an  unusually  strong  character,  with  a 
creative  disposition  and  a  capacity  for  man- 
agement that  would  make  of  her  a  [tower  of 
strength  in  any  field.  She  might,  in  fact,  be  a 
bit  headstrong  in  her  view-point,  if  she  were  not 
modified  strongly  by  her  aid  number  of  2, 
which  gives  her  a  tendency  to  seek  a  peaceful 
happy  atmosphere  and  to  create  that  atmo- 
sphere about  her  in  her  work.  The  creative  1 
is  always  willing  to  lead  her  into  any  new  path 
and  because  of  its  influence,  she  will  always 
make  a  success  in  any  work  if  she  is  permitted 
to  work  it  out  in  her  own  way.  She  has  great 
administrative  ability  and  attracts  influential 
friends,  great  honors  and  public  success.  Her 
mind  works  quietly  and  usually  dominates  in 
any  undertaking  with  which  she  is  connected. 

Her  destiny  lesson  is  that  of  responsibility. 
She  has  early  had  to  face  much  responsibility 
both  for  herself  and  for  others  and  has  a  knack 
of  managing  affairs  that  makes  her  a  friend  to 
be  desired.  She  will  always  attract  money  to 
meet  her  needs  and  those  of  the  ones  who  de- 
pend on  her  and  as  she  is  a  cosmic  mother  and 
seeks  to  protect  everyone  and  everything  that 
comes  within  her  circle,  she  is  invariably 
mothering  some  person  or  some  ambition. 
This  influence  makes  her  keen  for  both  work 
and  play.  She  should  work  only  six  hours  a 
day,  for  in  this  time  she  puts  in  her  best  work 
and  after  that,  she  is  only  tiring  herself  out 
without  getting  anywhere.  In  fact  if  she  gets 
overtired,  she  becomes  fuss'.-  and  petulant  and 
needs  plenty  of  wholesome  recreation  to  keep 
her  number  powers  well  balanced. 

WHEN  she  took  the  name  of  Man' Pickford 
she  added  a  power  that  has  brought  many 
developing  influences  into  her  lire  although  not 
always  in  a  happy  way.  Tt  was  evident  that 
there  was  a  soul  call  for  these  experiences  and 
it  is  very  necessary  for  her  to  have  ante  time 
to  herself  each  day  to  restore  the  strength  of 
personality  that  she  gives  out  so  freely  and  so

Hut  very  few  people  ever  get  very  close  to  hei 
real  individuality.  Her  ioa6  lav  will  be  that 
of  expression.  She  will  find  herself  putting 
into  operation  some  plans  she  began  several 
years  ago  and  should  have  a  most  active  yeai 
before  her.  She  "ill  be  of  much  assistance  in 
carrying  out  plans  of  her  husband  this  year, 
as  11  will  he  his  dominating  year  in  which  he 
will  have  much  creative  value,  with  danger  of 
losing  much  of  its  power  through  argument 

with  others  who  i\o  not  vision  90  clearlv  as  he 
does.  ller  husband  resents  monotony  in

ideas  and  entering  into  a  restless  and  emotional 
period  of  setting  in  line  these  new  ideas  which 
will  not  always  find  favor  with  those  about  him. 
The  tests  of  the  coming  year  will  demand  all  of 
his  spiritual  strength  and  if  he  will  watch  the 
October  days,  he  can  determine  for  himself 
just  what  problems  he  will  have  to  meet  during 
the  coming  year  as  they  will  be  foreshadowed 
in  the  events  of  that  month.

I'm  afraid  that  the  brickbat  of  "Babe"  in

out being  accused  of  imitating  Rudolph  Val-

think  that  Ricardo  Cortez'  wonderful  smile  and

could  be  borrowed  at  a  moment's  notice.

Norma  Talmadge.  And  she  is  becoming  more 
herself  in  every  picture.  She  has  enormous 
potentialities,  but  Miss  Talmadge  seems  to  be 
letting  up.  It  appears  to  me  that  she  has 
nothing  more  to  strive  for,  and  that's  the  rea- 
son. I'll  bet  you  a  nickel  it  wouldn't  make  a 
particle  of  difference  to  Xorma  Talmadge  if  she 
never  made  another  picture.

Vilnia  Just  a  Pretty  Blonde 

Pittsburgh,  Pa. 

I  can't  see  why  all  this  hubbub  about  Yilma 
Banky.  I  agree  with  the  reader  who  said  she 
was  just  another  pretty  blonde. 

We  have  a  dozen  blondes  who  are  more 
attractive  than  Miss  Banky.  Take  Laura  La 
Plante  and  Blanche  Sweet.  Miss  La  Plante  is 
young  and  not  very  well  known;  with  the 
publicity  break  that  Miss  Banky  has  received 
because  she  was  "discovered"  in  Europe, 
Laura  La  Plante  would  be  as  much  discussed 
today  as  the  Budapest  beauty.  And  I  do  not 
think  that  Miss  Banky  will  ever  have  the  fol- 
lowing that  Blanche  Sweet  has.  Neither  does 
she  seem  a  strong  enough  character  to  stage  a 
successful  comeback  like  Blanche  did — if  she 
ever  had  to. 

I'm  not  saying  Yilma  Banky  isn't  beautiful 
or  cannot  act.  She  is  and  can.  What  I'm 
arguing  about  is  the  way  people  are  raving 
without  realizing  that  she  got  over  first  crack 
because  she  got  such  a  good  break  by  being 
"discovered,"  and  cast  in  a  good  picture  and 
with  Ronald  Colman.  Hard  Boiled.

And  she  was  tired  of  the  country.  So  she  mar- 
ried him.     But  he  died. 

The  most  important  thing  that  happened  to 
her  in  her  youth,  with  the  possible  exception  of 
the  "too-beautiful  girl"  line  with  which  she 
was  ever  afterwards  to  be  labeled,  was  her  mar- 
riage to  young  Laurence  Converse.  He  was  a 
good-looking  young  lawyer,  whom  I  used  to  see 
around  the  courthouse.  He  had  big.  dark  eyes, 
and  very  charming  manners.  His  family  was 
well  known  socially,  and  rather  well-to-do. 

Barbara  fell  in  love  with  him  and  married 
him,  all  in  white  veils  and  orange  blossoms, 
with  dewey  eyes  and  exquisite  hopes. 

And  the  next  morning  his  real  wife,  with  her 
three  little  children,  walked  into  the  district 
attorney's  office  and  demanded  that  he  be 
arrested  for  bigamy.  He  was.  They  dragged 
him  away  from  his  honeymoon  with  Barbara, 
and  flung  him  in  jail. 

Perhaps  it  will  show  you  something  of  the 
maddening  quality  of  her  beauty.  Converse 
was  a  lawyer,  an  intelligent  man.  Yet  he  used 
his  own  name  in  his  own  town  to  commit 
bigamy  that  he  might  possess  this  too-beautiful 
girl.  He  said  she  had  dazzled  him  so  that  he 
didn't  know  what  he  was  doing. 

It  broke  Barbara.  Not  the  faintest  suspicion 
of  it  had  touched  her.  Always  she  has  been 
like  that,  trusting,  hoping,  each  new  dream  is 
going  to  measure  up.  She  disappeared.  Her 
father,  whose  devotion  to  her  has  been  like  the 
steady  beacon  of  lighthouse  amid  dangerous 
seas,  and  I  looked  for  her.  It  was  part  of  my 
job,  but  my  heart  was  in  it,  too. 

While  young  Converse  was  operated  upon  in 
the  belief  that  there  was  something  wrong  with 
his  brain,  even  when  he  died,  we  searched  in 
vain. 

A  T  last  we  found  her,  in  one  little  room  in  a 
■*■  *-cheap  boarding  house,  sitting  silent  and 
alone  by  the  window,  with  a  newspaper  con- 
taining the  story  of  her  bridegroom's  tragic 
death  upon  the  floor  beside  her.  Ashamed, 
heart-broken,  disillusioned.  I  shall  never  for- 
get the  look  in  her  eyes  as  she  turned  them  to  us. 
I  think  she  knew  then  what  life  might  do  to  her. 

She  became  a  dancer.  She  married  Phil 
Ainsworth.  She  married  Ben  Deeley.  She 
married  Jack  Daugherty.  Hundreds  of  other 
men  tried  to  marry  her. 

You  see?  She  was  a  honeypot.  She  was  a 
candle-flame.    A  few  women  are  like  that. 

And  overnight  she  became  the  most  sought- 
after  star,  the  most  famous  beaut)-  on  the 
screen. 

I  have  never  known  anvone  so  influenced  bv 


her  surroundings  as  Barbara  La  Marr.  She 
picked  up  color  like  a  chameleon.  She  couldn  t 
say  "No."  She  wanted  to  make  everybody 
happy.  She  loved  parties.  She  adored  people. 
Her  nature  was  gay — gay.  Flattery  caught  her 
attention  always.  Beauty  caught  it.  too. 
Luxury  came  as  naturally  to  her  as  moonlight 
to  a  lover. 

There  is  no  tongue  today  among  those  who 
knew  her  best,  to  repeat  an  unkind  thing,  an 
unjust  thing,  she  ever  said. 

There  is  no  record  in  the  memory  of  any  one 
of  her  friends  of  kindness  refused,  of  an  appeal 
for  help  unheeded. 

There  is  not  a  man,  even  among  those  whose 
hearts  she  broke  beneath  her  careless  foot,  but 
was  her  loyal  friend  right  to  the  end. 

And  there  were  men  who  have  known  her 
long  anrl  loved  her  well,  who  would  have  offered 
to  take  her  place  when  death  knocked  at  her 
door. 

Doesn't  that  mean  something — all  that? 

Her  temptations  were  greater  than  those  of 
any  woman  I  have  ever  known. 

"DUT  there  was  no  littleness  in  her.  And  she 
-uhad  for  all  that  charity  which  is  now  all  she 
can  silently  ask  of  the  world. 

We  have  lost  a  bright  and  beautiful  presence. 
We  have  lost  the  woman  who  might  have  been 
the  greatest  actress  and  most  perfect  beauty  on 
the  screen. 

I  have  lost  a  friend. 

But  I  shall  just  write  upon  the  little  stone  I 
have  set  up  in  my  heart  beside  the  one  with 
Wally's  name  upon  it.  the  words  of  Edna 
St.  Yincent  Millay's.  that  bring  me  comfort — 

What's  this  of  death,   from  you  who  will 

never  die? 
Think  you  the  wrist  that  fashioned  you  in 

clay, 
The  thumb  that  set  the  hollow  just  that  way 
In  your  full  throat  and  lidded  the  long  eye 
So  roundly  from  the  forehead,  will  let  lie 
Broken,  forgotten,  under  foot  some  day 
Your  unimpeachable  body,  and  so  slay 
The  work  he  most  had  been  remembered 

by? 
I  tell  you  this :  whatever  of  dust  to  dust 
Goes  down,  whatever  of  ashes  may  return 
To  its  essential  self  in  its  own  season, 
Loveliness  such  as  yours  will  not  be  lost, 
But,  cast  in  bronze  upon  his  very  urn, 
Make    known    him  Master,  and  for  what 

good  reason. 


;'The  Exquisite  Dolores"

But  while  she  was  on  the  screen  I  was.  as 
Mr.  Christy  said,  entranced.  Her  loveliness 
is  so  different,  so  fragrant,  so  endlessly  allur- 
ing. You  never  seem  to  get  enough  of  her. 
When  she's  off  the  screen  you  wait  impatiently 
for  her  return,  and  when  she  comes  on,  you 
have  each  time  a  new  and  delight  ltd  surprise  in 
finding  that  she's  even  more  exquisite  than  you 
remembered  her. 

Dolores  Costello  is  the  nineteen  -year-old 
daughter  of  Maurice  Costello,  whom  a  lot  of 
fans  will  remember  as  one  of  the  first  stars  and 
matinee  idols  oi  the  screen. 

"And  1  nearly  gave  up  pictures  in  despair." 
Dolores  told  me,  "because  I  got  so  tired  of 
everybody  saying,  'Well.  well,  so  you're 
Maurice  Costcllo's  little  girl!    I  remember  you 


when — '  It  seemed  to  me  I'd  never  get  a 
chance  of  my  own." 

She  started  her  professional  career  less  than 
two  years  ago  in  tlie  George  White  "Scandals." 
Then  she  went  with  her  father  on  a  location 
trip  to  Florida  in  an  Alan  Dwan  picture  and 
played  a  bit.  Hack  in  New  York,  she  played  a 
few  small  parts  around  the  Paramount  Long 
Island  studio. 

While  she  was  doing  that  she  posed  for 
James  Montgomery  Flagg  for  the  illustrations 
of  Adela  Rogers  St  Johns'  Bollywood  novel, 
"The  Skyrocket."  Flagg  selected  her.  he  told 
her.  because  she  fitted,  more  perfectly  than 
anyone  he'd  ever  seen,  the  description  of  the 
movie-star  heroine  as  "very  slender,  but  with 
no  bones  showing  anywhere."

convent.  "That  uas  my  younger  sifter,

Dissatisfied  Beauty 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PACE  63  ] 

Several  years  ago.  she  saw  clearly  the  fate  of 
the  mere  beauty.  And  she  began  then  to  de- 
velop herself  as  an  actress. 

Nothing  infuriates  her  so  much  today  as  to 
have  critics  or  audience  consider  her  beauty 
before  her  work  as  an  actress.  She  works  as 
hard  over  every  role  she  plays  as  though  she 
were  the  plainest  woman  on  earth.  The  few- 
clippings  I  have  known  her  to  cherish  were  not 
those  that  hailed  her  as  one  of  the  great 
beauties  of  this  century,  but  those  that  spoke 
well  of  some  performance  she  had  given,  which 
noted  some  subtle  bit  of  characterization. 

When  she  was  making  "Are  Parents  People?" 
and  "Trouble  With  Wives."  she  literally  slaved 
to  find  business,  clever  touches,  natural  situa- 
tions to  fit  into  her  role.  Mai  St.  Clair,  who 
directed  them  both,  has  told  me  that  he  never 
worked  with  any  actress  who  gave  such  sincere 
concentration  to  her  performances  or  who  gave 
him,  as  a  director,  so  much  assistance  in  the 
portrayal  of  a  role. 

AND  believe  me,  "The  Grand  Duchess"  and 
"  Sea  Horses"  shows  the  result  of  her  careful 
study  and  preparation  and  her  brilliant  thought 
about  them.  They  are  parts  as  widely  differ 
ent  as  the  poles  and  they  show  how  she  has 
grown  as  an  actress  and  how  her  personality  is 
developing  to  actually  top  her  beauty.  What- 
ever you  do,  don't  miss  "The  Grand  Duchess." 
You  will  see  in  Florence  Vidor  a  "clothes- 
horse"  beyond  even  Gloria,  with  a  bit  of  devil 
equal  to  Pola's,  enough  sex-appeal  to  equal 
Yilma  Bank\r,  and  the  added  charm  of  Flor- 
ence's own  distinction  and  intelligence.  (In- 
cidentally, she  has  never  looked  so  beautiful, 
but  please  don't  tell  her  I  said  so.  She  does  get 
so  furious  about  it.) 

She  will  never  acknowledge  that  she  is 
beautiful,  being  a  modest  sort  of  person.  But 
I  happen  to  know  that  she  sometimes  thinks  of 
beauty  as  a  handicap,  as  something  she  must 
surmount  and  subdue  if  she  is  to  do  big  things. 
She  wants  to  be  its  mistress  instead  of  its  slave. 
that's  the  thing. 

I  went  with  her  and  a  group  of  friends  to  run 
"Sea  Horses"  in  a  projection  room  at  the 
studio  the  other  evening.  There  was  a  great 
director,  a  well-known  New  York  columnist,  a

s  lie  Just  doesrit  belong! 


Do  you  remember,  in  one  of  the  season's  most 
popular  books,  the  fine,  brave  girl  who  struggled 
so  pluckily  for  an  education  at  the  University? 

She  had  a  really  fine  mind,  was  sympathetic 
and  not  unbeautiful.  Yet  men  passed  her  by. 
Because,  as  they  expressed  it,  she  just  didn't 
belong. 

Why — with  all  her  fine  qualities? — 

A  few  words  reveal  much.  We  read  that 
there  was  always  an  ugly  half-moon  of  stain  show- 
ing under  her  arms,  no  matter  how  cold  the  day. 

What  a  pity!  To  think  that  a  little  lapse  like 
this,  could  rob  her  of  her  chance  "to  belong"! 

Yet  nothing  was  ever  truer.  The  evidence  of 
perspiration  moisture  and  odor  is  a  hopeless  so- 
cial handicap.  And  all  because 
so  many  women  do  not  un- 
derstand that  something  more 
than  soap  and  water,  more 
than  "  home  remedies "  or 
simple  temporary  correctives, 
is  needed. 

You  can  be  safe  from  that 
repellent    clinging     odor     of 


perspiration,  from  those  ugly  stains  that  ruin 
your  clothes,  only  if  you  use  a  really  dependable 
scientific  corrective. 

Millions  have  found  it,  after  years  of  experi- 
menting. Their  one  absolute  safeguard  is — 
Odorono,  the  Underarm  Toilette ! 

Odorono  was  formulated  by  a  physician  for 
this  very  thing.     It   is  the  original  perspiration 
corrective.     Years  of  laboratory  research  have 
perfected  its  scientific  action.     Physicians  and 
nurses  depend  upon  it  for  hospital  use  constantly. 
It  is  an  antiseptic  liquid,  clean  and  clea-  and 
lovely  to  use  as  a  toilet  water.     And  the  won- 
derful thing  is,  you  need  use  it  only  twice  a  week  ! 
It  keeps  the  underarms  and  that  "perspiring 
area"  across  the  back  dry  and 
fresh  and  odorless.     It    pro- 
tects your  clothing— without 
any  other  precaution. 

Get  the  twice-a-week  Odo- 
rono habit.  Its  dependability 
is  such  a  joy!  Get  a  bottle  at 
any  toilet  counter— 35c,  60c 
and  $1  or  sent  postpaid.

The  C.  S.  Welch  Co. 

Dept.  PD,  1907  Park  Ave.,  New  York 


big  studio  executive,  an  important  critic  and 
myself.  We  had  dined  first  at  Mrs.  Yidor's  and 
I  had  watched  her  arrange  the  flowers  for  the 
table  herself  and  do  a  dozen  little  personal 
things  that  only  very  thoughtful  and  consider- 
all-  hostesses  take  time  to  do  nowadays. 
During  dinner  we  had  discussed  the  authen- 
tii  ity  of  the  records  of  Joan  of  Arc's  trial,  the 
relations  between  the  editorial  and  advertising 
departments  of  big  newspapers,  early  Cali- 
fornia architecture.  Venetian  glass,  and  the 
transplanting  of  sycamore  trees,  and  the  rela- 
tion of  art  and  commercialism  to  each  other  in 
motion  pictures. 

When  the  lights  flickered  up  after  "Sea 
Horses,"  the  columnist,  who  had  quite 
obviously  fallen  head  over  heels  where  Florence 
was  concerned  during  dinner,  said,  "Mrs. 
Yidor,  I've  never  seen  you  so  beautiful.'' 

Florence  shot  him  one  outraged  look,  turned 
positively  pale  with  indignation  and  walked 
out  of  the  projection  room.    And  at  dinner  she 


had  been  graciousness  itself  to  some  of  his 
rather  stupid  and  blatant  opinions. 

We  consoled  her.  We  told  her  it  wasn't  true. 
That  nobody  would  notice  how  she  looked  be- 
cause she  gave  such  a  fine  performance.  Which 
was  partly  true.  We  told  her  that  the  picture 
would  do  a  great  deal  to  establish  her  as  a  very 
fine  dramatic  actress,  which  was  wholly  true. 
The  studio  executive  told  her  what  a  great 
future  was  unfolding  before  her.  I  believe  he 
is  right,  and  that  she  is  going  to  win  and  hold  a 
great  place  for  herself,  and  it  will  be  a  credit  to 
the  industry  and  an  honor  to  picture  audiences 
if  she  does,  because  she  is  a  fine  and  noble 
woman. 

And  just  to  think  it  all  came  about  because 
she  was  a  dissatisfied  beauty.  She  has  the 
spark  of  divine  discontent  that  drives  on  and 
on.  And  she  would  have  been  a  huge  success 
at  something  if  she  hadn't  been  a  beauty  at  all, 
if  that's  any  consolation  to  her,  and  you  can 
tell  her  I  said  so.

TT  is  rather  a  pleasing  sight  to  see  Priscilla 
-•-Dean  again.  You  remember  what  a  good 
crook  Priscilla  was.  but  wait  until  you  see  what 
a  clever  secret  service  lady  she  is.  But  there  I 
go  telling  you  what  it's  all  about.  However, 
that  won't  spoil  the  entertainment  value  for 
you,  for  there's  enough  suspense  throughout  to 
keep  one  guessing.  John  Bowers,  Cissy  Fitz- 
gerald and  Arthur  Hoyt  make  an  excellent 
support  for  Priscilla. 

COMBAT— Universal 

HE  who  likes  a  lively  romping  tale  crammed 
with  action  will  enjoy  this.  A  creature  of 
brawn  and  muscle  who  blithely  smashes  all  who 
dare  oppose  him — cracked  crowns  and  shat- 
tered jaws  are  the  trifling  souvenirs  he  hands 
those  who  dare  bar  his  path — and  who  is  he? — 
the  boss  of  a  lumber  camp,  alias  House  Peters. 
There're  fights  from  the  start  to  the  finish  and, 
as  an  added  attraction,  a  forest  lire  is  thrown 
in.    The  youngsters  will  like  it.    Fair. 

DON'  T—Metro-Golduyn-  Mayer 

•""THE  title  speaks  for  itself.  This  is  one  of  the 
*■  most  ridiculous  and  silliest  pictures  seen. 
The  story  wanders  all  over,  and  some  of  the 
comedy  sequence — well,  my  dear,  if  you  can 
laugh  you're  good.  Sally  O'Neil  and  John 
Patrick  run  around  with  a  look  on  their  faces 
as  if  they  were  wondering  what  it's  all  about. 
And  at  the  finis  you'll  wonder  too. 

THE  TRAFFIC  COP—F.B.O. 

ONLY  the  admirers  of  Lefty  Flynn  will 
enjoy  this,  and  the  youngsters,  too.  Lefty 
and  his  big  broad  grin  does  his  best  with  an 
impossible  story.  All  about  a  good-looking 
traffic  cop  and  a  wealthy  girl  who  falls  in  love 
with  him.  Needless  to  say  the  inevitable 
happens  and  everybody's  happy. 

FLAMING  WATERS— F.B.O. 

IT  looks  as  though  F.  B.  O.  went  through 
their  old  pictures  and  picked  out  the  thrill 
scenes  from  each  one.  Assembling  them  to- 
gether they  decided  a  good  melodramatic  story 
could  lie  written  around  them.  Instead  this  is 
one  of  the  weepiest  affairs  of  the  poor  old 
mother  investing  in  fake  oil  stock,  the  runaway 
automobile,  the  hero  regaining  the  money  from 
the  villain  and  making  a  fortune,  and  then  the 
rescue  of  the  mother  and  the  gal  from  a  blazing 
flood.  Yes,  my  dear,  the  comedy  relief  is 
pitiful 


THE  FIGHTING  EDGE— Warner  Bros. 

T_I"ERE  is  a  melodrama  with  no  pretentions

boundary  line  between  the  United  States  and 
Mexico  it  concerns  the  operations  of  a  ring 
who  smuggle  everything  from  hootch  to  un- 
desirable aliens.  Kenneth  Harlan  undertakes 
to  foil  them,  aided  by  Patsy  Ruth  Miller.  That 
involves  them  in  dungeons,  secret  panels,  fist 
fights  and.  of  course,  love.  This  is  not  art  but 
it's  exciting  entertainment.  The  children  can

it.  All  about  a  chorus  girl  who  is  unjustly 
accused  of  theft  just  as  she  was  about  to  be 
assigned  to  a  leading  role.  Her  innocence  is 
proven;  she  gets  the  part  and  her  man  and 
there's  nothing  else  to  do  but  call  it  a  day.

meets  a  countess  and  falls  in  love  with  her.  He 
plans  to  follow  her  to  her  country,  so  he 
organizes  a  Wild  West  show  and  travels  to

Tom  decides  to  show  how  graceful  he  is  and

Gen.  George  Custer  Lives  Again 

Every  American  school-boy  has  read  of  Gen. 
George  Custer,  or  "Yellow  Hair"  as  the  Indians  called  him 
because  of  his  long  blonde  hair  which  swept  down  to  his  shoulders 
— and  their  eyes  have  popped  and  their  pulses  have  hurried  when 
they  read  of  the  deeds  of  heroism  which  followed  Custer's  great 
campaign  among  the  Dakota  Sioux. 

It  is  one  thing  to  read  of  these  things,  and  quite 
another  to  see  them  re-enacted  as  they  are  in  Universal's 
fine  film,  "The  Flaming  Frontier,"  And  all  the  heroes  and  war- 
riors who  took  part  in  those  stirring  episodes,  live  again  and  fight 
over  the  battle  of  the  Little  Big  Horn. 

You  will  see  Gen.  Custer,  President  Grant,  Chief 
Red  Cloud,  Sitting  Bull.  You  will  ride  with  them  into  the 
plains  of  Montana  where  all  the  fighting  occurred,  and  you  will  see 
such  acts  of  courage  as  will  thrill  you  to  the  core. 

You  will  see  HOOT  GIBSON,  the  riding  fool,  as 
a  daring  lieutenant  in  Custer's  command.  You  will  see 
DUSTIN  FARNUM  as  Gen.  Custer,  and  a  marvelous  cast  of  won- 
derful riders.  You  will  see  Indians  by  the  thousands  and  the  Wild 
West  even  as  it  is  today.  Don't  fail  to  see  this  picture  because  I 
know  just  what  it  is.   Edward  Sedgwich  directed  it. 

Don't  fail  to  see  REGINALD  DENNY  in  "  What  Hap- 
pened  to  Jones"  and  "Skinner's  Dress  Suit," '  two   refreshing 

comedies  which  giv«  this  splendid  young  actor  all  the  chance  he  desires  to  show 
his  talent.  Don't  fail  to  see  "The  Phantom  of  the  Opera."  When  you  see  these 
plays,  write  me  your  opinion  of  them — show  where  they  could  have  been  improved.

ordinary  way,  a  thin  urn  of  oil  ia  often  loft  on  each 

hair,  which  collects  dirt  and  dust,  causing  the  hair  to 
darken.  That  is  why  blondes  should  always  use  a

attractive,  its  beauty  is  lost  just  as  soon  as  it  becomes

A  Beautiful  Bedroom 
Means  a  Beautiful  Life 

[  CONTINTJED  FROM  PAGE  65  ] 


often  necessitates  all  those  rooms  becoming  a 
sort  of  general  living  room  and  the  bedroom 
must  be  moulded  into  the  general  decorative 
scheme. 

For  a  residence  of  this  type  I  show  the  second 
illustration.  The  necessary  sleeping  arrange- 
ments have  been  dressed  up.  The  board  at  the 
head  of  this  couch,  in  itself  an  excellent 
example  of  "new  art"  craftmanship,  dignifies 
the  bed  and  gives  it  an  individual  beauty.  The 
actual  bed  has  been  created  by  putting  a 
mattress  on  top  a  box  spring,  the  spring  being 
supported  by  four  small  wooden  legs,  which 
are  concealed  by  the  bedspread.  This  is  a  lit 
of  decorative  economy  that  may  be  useful  in 
any  home.  There  are  man}-  shops  in  Xew 
York,  and  I  presume  they  exist  in  other  cities, 
that  will  add  legs  to  a  box  springs  for  an  addi- 
tional five  dollars.  Thus,  without  buying  a 
real  bed,  is  a  bed  of  comfort  and  simplicity, 
evolved. 

The  bedspread  and  the  pillow  coverings  are 
made  of  the  same  material.  Any  home  seam- 
stress can  make  similar  ones.  Incidentally, 
the  white  bedspread  has  gone  the  way  of  red 
flannel  underwear.  Don't  use  a  white  bed- 
spread if  you  want  a  smart  room. 

The  cult  of  the  antique  is  growing.  There 
can  no  longer  be  any  doubt  of  that.  If  you  are 
one  of  those  fortunate  people  who  have  time 
and  patience  enough  to  shop  for  genuine 
pieces  and  the  price  to  pay  for  them,  you  can 
create  bedrooms  of  startling  beauty.  I  feel 
the  bedroom  set  from  "The  Song  and  Dance 
Man"  is  a  beautiful  room. 

The  bed  is  early  seventeenth  century- 
English  as  are  the  two  commodes  on  either 
side.  The  chest  of  drawers  and  the  mirror 
are  Italian  of  the  same  period  and  all  four 
pieces  are  of  carved  oak.  The  two  plaques 
hanging  close  to  the  doorway  are  Delia  Robbia 
ware  in  delicate  blue  and  white  and  the  door 
frame  itself  is  developed  in  the  same  material. 
This  blue  is  picked  up  again  in  the  brocatelle 
hanging  behind  the  bed  and  in  the  spread  of 
the  same  material. 

Scarlet  and  gold  are  introduced  in  the  trip- 
tyches with  their  delicate  paintings  of  the  saints, 
that  can  just  be  seen  in  the  wall  niches  above 
the  bed. 

A  ROOM  like  this  while  giving  the  impression 
of  great  cost  is  actually  no  more  expensive 
to  outfit  than  the  modern  bedroom  shown  be- 
low from  "The  New  Klondike."  Here,  in  the 
latter,  is  the  conventional  modern  bedroom 
suite  of  seven  pieces  developed  in  the  finest 
materials  and  with  the  finest  craftsmanship. 
Its  retail  cost  is  Si, 200.  The  wood  used  in  the 
dresser,  chifforobe,  beds,  dressing  table,  chairs 
and  bench  is  solid  mahogany,  painted  grey 
with  a  black  border  and  decorated  with 
flowers  in  red  and  green.  To  mc  such  a  room 
is  less  beautiful  than  a  room  furnished  piece 
by  piece,  but  if  you  like  unit  furnishings,  a  set 
of  this  character  is  perfect.  Further  it  is  com- 
fortable. It  will  last  for  years,  the  drawers  of 
the  dresser  and  chifforobe  will  never  "stick." 
the  mirrors  will  never  "wave"  and  it  will 
always  be  exactly  right  for  the  purposes  for 
which  it  was  created 

To  prove,  however,  that  antiques  can  go 
wrong,  I  am  including  a  Spanish  bedroom  from 
"Rosita."  Pictorially  it  is  satisfactory  enough, 
but  don't  ever  develop  a  bedroom  like  this 
and  expect  to  sleep  in  it.  The  elaborate 
Spanish  bed  against  two  sets  of  elaborate 
hangings,  the  more  elaborate  bedspread  drip- 
ping bice,  the  Fussy  polychrome  candlesticks, 
the  very  detailed  plastering,  the  tiles,  one  type 
for  the  floor,  another  along  the  base  of  the 
room,  a  third  on  the  columns,  none  of  these  |

By  Willard  King  Bradley

cessful "tricks  of  the  trade"  in  addition  to  a 
complete  quota  of  what  might  be  termed  the 
mechanics  of  photoplay  writing  —  those  impor- 
tant features  which  often  make  the  difference 
between  acceptance  and  rejection  of  photoplays. 
The  author  is  an  outstandingly  sue' 
photoplay  writer,  so  his  suggestious  come  from 
one  "on  the  inside."

"The  Sidewalks  of  New  York"  in  which  you  find 
his  recommendations  put  into  actual  use.

Confessions  of  a 
Movie  Critic 

[CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  68  ] 


for  his  milk  route,  jumps  into  the  game  from 

the  bleachers,  and  scores  a  touch  down  ior  dear 
old  Uma  Mater  He  tries  to  escape  from  his 
room  after  the  game,  but  Betty,  sweetest  of  the 
prom  angels,  nudges  her  father,  and  father,  dn 
alumnus,   offers    him   a    job    selling    bond-   or 

something. 

And  there  is  the  unsophisticated  little  court 
trv  girl  who  determines  to  payoff  the  mortgage 
on  the  family  homestead,  and  goes  to  the  big 
city  in  a  calico  dress  and  a  wrong  impression. 
A  year  passes,  and  an  original  touch  can  be 
added  by  introducing  petting  parties,  pocket 
Basks  and  swimming  pools.  And  after  a  spec- 
tacularly successful  theatrical  career,  she  re- 
turns to  marry  the  blacksmith's  son,  because 
she  now  knows  the  blight  of  Broadway. 
***** 

Any  of  the  above,  with  variations,  are  good, 
Strong,  original  situations  which  should  sell 
easily.  And  as  to  whether  you've  gotta  have  a 
drag  to  get  them  accepted — well,  even  though 
Pve  thought  up  all  these  scenarios  by  myself 
anil  submitted  them,  none  of  the  film  producers 
seems  to  know  a  good,  strong,  original  plot 
when  he  sees  one. 

Came  the  Dawn 

THEX,  at  the  end  of  the  year,  every  self- 
respecting  movie  critic  looks  over  his  files, 
and  prepares  an  essay  entitled  "  Looking  Hack- 
ward,"  Motion  Picture  Past  Performances," 
or  "Requiescat  In  Pace." 

After  a  great  deal  of  research  I  present  the 
following  list.  Moreover,  I  find  that  if  all 
comments  on  cinematic  subjects  of  the  past 
year  were  placed  end  to  end,  they  would  reach 
wherever  it  is  that  things  placed  end  to  end 
always  reach. 

One  thousand  and  twenty-two  discouraged 
bookkeepers  (certified  accountants,  floorwalk- 
ers, or  coat-hanger  salesmen)  left  the  cramped 
quarters  of  Xew  York  (Philadelphia,  Upper 
Montclair  or  South  Bend,  Indiana)  for  the 
wind-swept  spaces  of  God's  own  country. 
Four  hundred  and  twenty  Kentucky  Derbies, 
suh,  upheld  the  honah  of  five  hundred  and 
seventy-two  proud  Southern  families;  three 
thousand  plots  showed  what  was  wrong  with 
the  younger  generation;  and  ninety-four  pro- 
ductions proved  the  curse  of  drink. 

One  hundred  and  five  Apache  solo  dancers 
inspired  eighty-six  orchestras  to  play  "Mon 
Homme";  there  were  twelve  thousand  railroad 
wrecks;  nine  hundred  and  forty-eight  automo- 
biles collided;  six  hundred  and  fifty-one  dams 
burst;  fourteen  hundred  ships  were  sunk; 
twenty-seven  thousand  Indians  bit  the  Holly- 
wood dust;  and  more  than  eighty-five  thousand 
and  thirty-three  sub-titles  read,  "Came  the 
Dawn." 

Thirty-nine  thousand  pairs  of  shoes  were 
worn  out  in  fights  at  the  edges  of  nineteen 
thousand  five  hundred  cliffs.  Nine  hundred 
fools  there  were,  who  were  led  to  ruin  by  eight 
hundred  and  ninety-one  brunettes,  and  nine 
henna'd  blondes.  I  counted  three  thousand 
mementoes  to  mother,  and  fifty-five  panegy-

Slender  Figures 

Are  seen  everywhere  today 
People  get  them  in  this  easy,  pleasant  way 


Look  about  you  in  any  circle.  Note 
how  slenderness  prevails.  Excess  fat  is 
not  one-tenth   so  common  as  it  was. 

Look  at  any  fashion  pictures.  Note 
bow  every  style  is  now  adapted  to  slim 
figures.  The  very  vogue  of  short  skirts 
shows  that  overweight  is  regarded  the 
exception. 

A  new  era  has  come  in  this  respect. 
Fat  is  now  unpopular.  It  is  regarded  as 
abnormal,  affecting  beauty,  health  and 
fitness.  Modern  research  has  proved  it 
unnecessary.  There  is  now  an  easy, 
pleasant  way  to  control  one's  weight. 

Countless  people  have  learned  that  way 
and  proved  it.  They  have  told  others 
about  it.  In  every  company  you  can  now 
see  the  evidence  of  its  efficiency. 

The  Modern  Method 

The  modern  method  is  internal.  It 
combats  the  cause  of  excess  fat,  which 
usually  lies  in  a  certain  gland. 

That  method  is  embodied  in  Marmola 
Prescription  Tablets.  Simply  take  four 
a  day.  Continue  until  you  reach  the 
weight  you  wish. 

Reduction  is  not  too  rapid.  It  rarely 
exceeds  a  pound  a  day.  So  the  body  ad- 
justs itself  to  the  new  conditions.  Wrin- 
kles do  not  develop. 

Marmola  is  not  secret.  Our  books 
publish  every  ingredient,  and  explain  ex- 
actly how  Marmola  acts.  You  will  know 
the  scientific  reasons   for   results. 

The  results  are  so  dependable  that  to 
everyone  who  mails  the  coupon  we  now 
send  a  guarantee.  If  you  accept  it,  and 
then  are  not  satisfied,  every  penny  you 
pay  is  returned.

about  you  now  employ  it.  They  will  tell 

you    what    Marmola   does.  That    is   how 

the    use    has    grown — by  users    telling 

others. 

Marmola  has  been  used  for  18  years. 
The  use  has  grown  and  grown,  until 
people  are  now  taking  over  a  million 
Iioncs  yearly  to  reduce  and  control  their 
weight. 

The  results  are  seen  everywhere.  A 
large  percentage  of  the  figures  you  have 
seen  grow  slender  are  due  to  Marmola 
Tablets.  You  are  bound  to  employ  them 
when  you  learn  what  they  have  done  for 
your  friends. 


Not  This  Way 

Try  the  easier  method 

Some  people  reduce  by  strenuous  ex- 
ercise and  restricted  diet.  The  methods 
require  severe  self-denial.  They  arc  hard 
and  often  harmful. 

Marmola  does  not  require  that.  Its 
action  is  internal — on  the  cause  of  ex- 
cess fat.  One  simply  takes  a  tablet  four 
times  daily.  Investigate  this  method  for 
your  own  sake.  The  coupon  will  bring 
you  all  the  facts,  our  samples  and  our 
guarantee.  Compare  this  method  with 
the  others,  then  decide.

spears,  spoke  of  having  turned  down  one  con- 
tract apiece  with  Cecil  B.  De  Mille. 

And  the  other  day,  in  the  same  spirit  of 
summary,  a  prominent  producer,  whose  com- 
pany, pictures  and  luncheons  are  the  last  word 
in  the  motion  picture  industry,  gave  a  large 
and  elaborate  celebration  in  honor  of  the  dos- 
ing year. 

Everybody  was  there.  It  was  a  brilliant  oc- 
casion. At  the  long  table,  little  tokens  served 
as  place  cards,  all  in  the  spirit  of  good  clean 
fun.  And  the  guests  included  all  those  who 
have  been  to  so  many  movie  banquets  in  the 
past  few  years  that  they  haven't  had  time  to  eat. 

A  photographer  was  stationed  on  one  side  of 
the  room.  Before  serving  the  first  course,  a 
snapshot  was  to  be  taken,  showing  the  film 
personnel  in  its  lighter  moments.  Everyone 
assumed  the  pose  of  rigid  nonchalance.  The 
camera  man  looked  across  the  line  of  news- 
paper and  magazine  writers,  actors,  exhibitors, 
and  officials,  and  waited  for  his  signal. 

HpHE  master  of  ceremonies  arose.  '"There 
■*•  will  be  no  speeches,"  he  promised.  Every- 
one applauded.  "  But  I  want  to  introduce  toyou 
the  man  who  has  made  all  this  possible.  The 
man  whose  brilliance  and  clearness  of  vision 
lias  made  each  of  his  pictures  something  to 
which  the  entire  industry  can  point  with  pride. 
I  take  great  pleasure  in  introducing  Mr. —  ." 

Loud  applause  drowned  his  name,  as  the 
Great  Producer  arose. 

"As  our  toastmaster  has  just  said,"  he  be- 
gan, "there  will  be  no  speeches."  Loud  ap- 
plause. '"We  are  here,"  he  continued,  "for  r.n 
important  purpose.  It,"  he  smiled,  "will  be 
served  in  a  moment." 

More  applause.  "But  I  should  like  to  tell 
you,"  he  added,  "something  of  our  company." 

He  did.  And  then  he  called  upon  another 
member  of  the  organization  who  prefaced  his 
remarks  by  saying.  "You  were  promised  that 
there  would  be  no  speeches — "  faint  applause 
— "which  reminds  me  of  a  story  about  two 
exhibitors  in  Walla  Walla." 

He  told  it.  An  hour  and  a  half  later,  the  toast- 
master  nodded  toward  the  camera.  The  pho- 
tographer awoke,  and  adjusted  his  apparatus. 
"Everybody  laugh  and  tallc."  he  directed. 
"And  look  right  into  the  camera." 

I  glanced  about  the  table,  and  suddenly  the 
realization  came  to  me  why  the  motion  picture 
industry  is  as  great  as  it  is.  I  looked  at  the 
producer.     He  smiled.

How  to  Be  a  Producer 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  66  ] 

producing  units,  a  few  stars  and  directors,  and 
the  run  of  the  stock  company  at  his  disposal. 
And  Irving  Thalberg.  today,  is  only  26  years  of 
age. 

\\  e  wanted  to  know  how  he  went  about 
achieving  results.  He  illustrated  with  "The 
Big  Parade." 

This  war-romance  was  turned  over  to  him 
I  le  selected  King  Vidor  to  direct  it  and  assigned 
Jack  Gilbert  to  a  role  that  suited  him  like  an 
immaculate  kid  glove.  Gilbert,  to  Thalberg, 
has  "it"  plus.  lie  has  fire,  passion,  romance. 
The  character  of  the  French  girl  went  to  Renee 
Adorce.  Miss  Adoree  had  been  with  M.G.M. 
for  several  years  and  during  that  time  had 
achieved  only  mediocre  success. 

Mr.  Thalberg  vows  Renee  is  a  wonderful 
actress.  She  is  a  distinct  type,  as  well  as  an 
individual.  What  she  needed  to  prove  this  to 
the  world  was  the  right  part.  She  got  it  in 
"The  Big  Parade.  " 

The  picture  was  put  into  production.  The 
director,  the  players  dropped  in  to  see  Mr. 
Thalberg  from  time  to  time.    He  pepped  them

up,  inspired  them,  sponsored  enthusiasm  in

realize  what  lie  Convinced  iheni  eould  lie  done 
Alter   Considerable    hard    work,    the   piiture 

wa>  completed  and  given  to  Mr  Thaloerg  to 

pa^s  judgment  on       Every  man  and  woman  in 

tlu-  company  were  worn  to  the  verge  oi  exhaus 
tion  by  the  long  hours  and  strenuous  efforts  pm 

into  its  making.     What  would  their  16  year  old 

chiei 

"A  great  picture,"  In-  praised,  "but  the 
beginning  and  the  end  will  have  to  he  re 
taken." 

They  were  in  a  way  that  heightened  sus 
pense  and  drama  and  drew  the  story  closer  to 
its  theme,  Today,  this  picture  rates  the  Bnest 
production  of  its  kind  since  "The  Itirth  of  a 
Nation  " 

Thalberg  has  a  del  isive  mind,  mellowed  with 
imagination  and  line  sensibilities.    He  knows 
when  a  person  is  good  or  a  pic  lure  is  good.     lie 
.1  "  hunch"  when  he  is  right. 

That   is  the  was-  he  explains  how    he  "dis 

covered,"  though  did  not  get.  Norma  Shearer, 

years  ago  He  saw  Norma  enact  a  small  role, 
for  which  she  received   no  screen  credit,   in  a 

film  yclept  "The  Stealers."  He  tried  to  End 
her  whereabouts  hut  failed.  Years  later,  he 
learned  she  was  making  a  picture  in  Buffalo. 
He  communicated  with  her,  I  ut  they  couldn't 
Come  to  terms. 

When  he  went  with  .Mr  Mayer,  Thalberg 
suggested  Norma  Shearer  to  him  as  likely  star 
material.  Mr.  Mayer  signed  her  on  his  say  so 
You  know  the  rest 

Mr.  Thalberg  is  desirous  of  increasing  his 
roster  of  players  He  wants  newcomers  and 
more  newcomers,  for  players  must  be  devel- 
oped to  inherit  the  spotlight  the  older  stars  will 
vacate.  In  an  effort  to  find  talented  novices 
and  unknowns.  M.G.M.  devotes  an  hour  every 
afternoon  to  making  screen  tests  of  those 
recommended  by  friends,  agents,  studio  em- 
ployees, even  strangers.  Hundreds  of  thou- 
sands  of  dollars  are  spent  yearly  for  these  tests 
and  Thalberg  estimates  if  three  or  four  possi 
bilities  arc  found  among  the  hundreds  who  get 
a  test,  the  expenditure  is  merited. 

Though  he  emphasizes  the  need  of  new- 
comers, he  pauses  to  deplore  the  hundreds  of 
girls  who  pour  into  Hollywood  seeking  fame 
and  fortune  in  the  dicker  world.  There  are  ap- 
proximately one  hundred  applicants  for  one 
picture  job. 

HE  claims  a  screen  aspirant  cannot  be  a  mod- 
ern Laura  Jean  Libbey  heroine  because  she 
is  the  exact  image  of  Norma  Talmadge.  or  Gloria 
Swanson.  or  Man,-  Pickford.  Xor  can  her  hope 
be  realized  through  physical  accomplishments 
or  drawing-room  niceties. 

Mr.  Thalberg  points  out  that  a  screen  hope- 
ful should  have  something  to  GIVE  before  she 
can  (.  i  ET  anything  from  this  business.  Norma 
Shearer  gives  freshness,  youth,  buoyancy  to  the 
screen.  Renee  Adoree.  smouldering  emotions, 
coquettishness,  allurements.  Conrad  Xagcl, 
cleanness,  sincerity.  Roy  D'Arcy  can  exem- 
plify the  leering,  suave  hypocrite. 

Just  how  talented  girls  from  all  parts  of  the 
country  are  to  be  given  their  chance  to  swell 
the  picture  ranks  without  throwing  caution  to 
the  wind  and  swooping  unknown  and  minus 
assets  into  the  Cinema  City  is  a  problem  even 
the  astute  Irving  Thalberg  cannot  answer. 
Some  day  it  will  be  solved  and,  he  hints,  that 
day  is  not  far  off. 

So  it  was  on  this  optimistic  note  that  we 
departed  Mr.  Thalberg's  presence,  for  a  "pres- 
ence" he  is,  despite  the  fact  he  is  a  human 
being- — modest,  brilliant,  blessed  with  the  rare 
gifts  of  humor,  human  insight,  and  brains. 


And  He  Didnt 

"  A  ND  listen,"  counseled  the  pro- 
■^^-ducer's  business  adviser,  "when 
you  sign  that  bird  up,  I  wouldn't  pay 
him  any  more  than  I  had  to." 

"Don't  worry,"  said  the  producer, 
"I  won't  even  pay  him  that  much !"

CMART  girl,  Jobyna.  So  smart  that  a  lot  of 
'-'  others  watch  her  moves  to  see  just  where  to 
follow.  One  thing  that  Jobyna  Ralston  didth.it 
lots  of  girls  have  copied:  she  paid  a  dime  for 
the  Denciison  Gala  Book.  Why?  Because  its  32 
pages  are  full  of  party  ideas,  favors, 
decorations,  costumes,  invitations, 
games,  stunts,   even   "eats."  Any 
party  that  occurs  between  now  and 
summer   can't    go    wrong,    can't 
fliwer,  if  the  hostess  learns,  from 
Jobyna's  example,  the  easy  way  to 
give  a  party,  and  to  have  it  success- 
ful. (It's  15  cents  in  Canada.) 

You'll  always  find  Dennison's 
party  goods  at  stationers,'  depart- 
ment stores,  and  at  many  drug-

A  Sure  Way  To 

End  Dandruff 

There  is  one  sure  way  that  never  fails 
to  remove  dandruff  completely,  and 
that  is  to  dissolve  it.  Then  you  destroy 
it  entirely.  To  do  this,  just  apply  a  lit- 
tle Liquid  Arvon  at  night  before  retir- 
ing; use  enough  to  moisten  the  scalp  and 
rub  it  in  gently  with  your  finger  tips. 

By  morning,  most,  if  not  all,  of  your 
dandruff  will  be  gone,  and  two  or  three 

more  applications  will  completely  dissolve  and 
entirely  destroy  every  single  sign  and  trace  of  it, 
no  matter  how  much  dandruff  you  may  have. 

You  will  find,  too,  that  all  itching  of  the  scalp 
will  stop  instantly  and  your  hair  will  be  lus- 
trous, gl  ossy,  silky 
and  soft,  and  look  and 
feel  a  hundred  times 
bet  tcr. 

You  can  get  Liquid 
Arvon    at    any   drug 
store,  and  a  four  ounce 
bottle  is  all  you  will 
need.     This  simple 
remedy  has  never 
been  known  to 
fail.  £

So  They  Sneaked  Out 

TTHEV  were  being  married  after  a  beautiful 
*•  courtship  of  two  years. 

The  minister  had  almost  completed  the 
ceremony,  when  he  said  the  usual  words: 

"Is  there  anyone  who  hath  objections  to 
joining  these  two  in  holy  wedlock?  If  so  let 
him  speak  now." 

A  loud  knock  was  heard  on  the  church  door. 
The  attendants  opened  the  door,  and  an  old 
nan  with  a  long  white  beard  staggered  in, 
ith  his  hand  raised  aloft.  A  thrill  ran 
hrough  the  crowd.  Some  dramatic  scene  was 
sure  to  be  enacted.  The  old  man  continued 
his  way  down  the  aisle.  When  he  reached  the 
very  altar  he  turned  around  and  addressed 
the  audience. 

"Folks,"  he  said,  "let  me  tell  you  the  real 
story  of  the  battle  of  Antietam. 

"It  was  a  cold  night  and  them  damned  rebels 
were  coming  down  from  the  Shenandoah 
Mountains — "

out  together  She  did  not  know  that  he  was 
one  of  the  occupants  of  the  flag-draped  box. 

"You  are  a  perfect  dancer,"  he  murmured, 
■ — "you  are  wonderful!" 

She  made  no  answer,  her  eyes  were  searching 
— puzzled — hurt. 

~KK  IDNIGHT.  The  pausing  of  Time  between 
*  "-the  day  that  has  gone  and [the  day  that  is  to 
come.  In  Mussolini  Hall  a  breathless  hush  and 
the  shuffling  of  feet  pushing  nearer  to  a  flag- 
draped  box.  A  slim,  bored  gentleman  in  im- 
peccable evening  clothes  making  an  announce- 
ment. 

" — And  our  first  choice,  ladies  and  gentle- 
men, for  the  honor  of  Film  Queen,  is — Miss 
Gianina  Ferani!" 

A  brief  silence,  and  then  a  roar  of  stamping 
feet,  clapping  hands,  whistles,  bravos.  All  eyes 
turned  upward  to  the  girl  in  the  flag-draped 
box,  standing  so  creamily,  slenderly  white. 
Her  eyes  were  wide,  a  little  bewildered.  But 
her  mouth  was  impersonal,  fastidious,  almost 
insolent. 

And  on  a  deserted  corner  past  which  taxicabs 
fled  like  stricken  beetles,  Roger  Trenton  stood 
clutching  a  newspaper.  He  had  crumpled  it, 
torn  it,  trying  to  make  his  mind  focus  on  the 
damnable,  unbelievable  sentences  that  stared 
up  at  him. 

" — Burke  Trenton — suicide — following  big 
crash — Wall  Street  firms  involved — shady 
manipulations — exposure  was  imminent — Wil- 
liam Eldridge,  broker,  heavy  loser — " 

The  paper  filtered  through  his  fingers.  It  lay 
in  the  gutter.  The  name  of  Trenton  stared  up 
at  him — from  the  mud. 

Three  days  later  Roger  entered  for  the  last 
time  the  wide,  imposing  doors  of  the  William 
Eldridge  Brokerage  offices.  He  went  quickly 
through  the  long  lane  of  rooms  towards  the 
panelled  mahogany  door  at  the  end.  marked 
"William  Eldridge,  Private."  He  ran  the 
gamut  of  hostile  stares,  and  barely  lowered 
voices. 

"The  nerve  of  him!  Coming  here!  You*d 
think  he'd  never  want  to  show  his  face  around 
here  again!" 

They  were  right  about  it  taking  nerve. 
Roger  Trenton  never  did  a  more  difficult  thing 
in  all  his  life  than  to  walk  the  length  of  those  im- 
posing offices,  filled  with  the  people  he  had 
politely,  but  effectively  snubbed.  He  entered 
the  private  office  without  knocking.  William 
Eldridge  looked  up  questioningly,  and  when  he 
recognized  the  unannounced  visitor,  his  face 
went  hard  and  blank. 

"Well,  Trenton?"  he  snapped  out. 

Roger  stood  before  him  very  straight  and 
tall,  a  certain  dignity  in  his  wan,  tortured  face. 

"  1  came — "  he  said  hoarsely,  and  cleared  his 
throat.  Speaking  was  not  an  easy  thing.  "I 
came  to  tell  you,  Mr.  Eldridge  that — that  what 
happened  was  my  fault,  only  unconsciously.  I 
don't  want  you  to  think  that  1  was  taking  ad- 
vantage of  your  kindness — or  my  position  here 
— to  betray  firm  secrets.  1  did  talk  about  the 
business  to  my  father.  1  can  see  now  that  I 
told  him  things  that — well,  that  he  used.  But 
I  had  no  idea  that  he  was  not  —  "  again  a  pain- 
ful pause, — "honest.  Naturally  I  feel  the 
responsibility  of  the  thing  keenly.  1  am  not 
financially  able  to  make  full  restitution  for 
your  loss.  Air.  Eldridge.  The  house  and  the 
yacht  did  not  belong  to  me.  But  1  have  sold 
my  car.  and  my  personal  effects.  Will  you 
please  believe  that  1  would  shoulder  the  whole 
thing  if  1  could?" 

He   drew    from    his   inner   pocket    a   rather

Many  things  can  happen  in  two  years,  phj  a 
ically  and  mental!)  Many  things  happened 
to  Roger  Trenton  in  two  years  ol  aimless,  hap 
ha  ard  drifting.  He  kept  two  things,  his  dog 
Bruiser,  and  his  self  respe<  t  All  else  he  dis 
carded,  even  Ids  name  It  wa>  not  often  that 
he  was  asked  t>>  give  •>  name  But  when  the 
requisites  of  a  temporarj  j i d >  demanded  it.  he 
.red  as  Roger  t.ul.nelte.  At  least  his 
mother's  name  had  not  been  sullied. 

In  those  two  years  he  learned  several  things; 
he  learned  about  hunger  and  the  traged}  ol  B 
■nil  that  wears  out.  He  learned  to  regard 
people  as  human  beings.  He  learned  that  a 
ureat  deal  of  kindness  exists  in  unlike!)  places, 
and  that  the  loyalty  of  a  dog  is  a  wonderful 
thing.  He  gained  a  smattering  knowledge  of 
dishwashing,  boat  landing,  lawn  mowing  and 
ditch  digging.  He  was  a  life  guard  for  a  season 
at  a  resort  in  Florida.  Aimlessly  he  drilled  out 
to  California.  He  almost  starved  in  Los 
Angeles,  having  spent  his  last  two  dollars  get 
ting  Bruiser  out  of  the  pound  and  buying  a 
license  for  him. 

STILL  drifting,  he  reached   Halloa  Beach, 
aquatic  suburb  of  Los  Angeles     His  reasons 
Forgoing  there  were  vague,  both  he  and  Bruiser 

lo\ ed  the  water  Besides,  there  was  the  chance 
that  he  might  get  work  again  as  a  life  guard,  or 
as  an  ordinary  seaman  in  one  of  the  coast  ply- 
ing boats.  Roger  swam  with  a  natural  and 
instinctive  ease,  and  when  he  was  far  out  be- 
yond the  breakers,  floating  on  his  back,  staring 
up  at  the  blue  translucent  sky.  the  world 
righted  itself  for  him.  He  seemed  to  get  a  per- 
spective on  life.  Two  years  ago  everything 
had  seemed  dwarfed  from  the  high  altitude  of 
wealth  and  "position.  "  Then,  after  the  crash, 
he  looked  up  at  the  heavy  tread  of  the  world 
and  found  everything  overwhelming;  terrify- 
ing. He  had  to  move  on,  scuttle  out  from 
under,  or  life  would  step  on  him.  But  out  in 
the  ocean,  his  body  wrapped  around  by  the 
warm  swinging  of  the  waxes,  he  was  at  peace. 
He  could  see  himself — and  the  world — eye  to 
eye. 

Bruiser  had  grown  old  but  sturdy.  He  was 
undeniably  a  plebeian.  Large  bodied,  yellow- 
ish, short  haired,  he  loved  smelly  bones  and 
gar!  age  cans.  The  patch  of  black  over  his 
right  eye  had  spread.  He  looked  more  than 
ever  like  a  pugilist  who  had  gotten  the  worst  of 
the  argument.  But  he  had  certain  sterling 
qualities  that  were  on  a  higher  plane  than  his 
lowly  birth  would  seem  to  warrant.  He  had, 
partly  because  of  Roger's  training  in  teaching 
him  to  bring  in  sticks  from  the  water,  and 
partly  because  of  a  mastiff  strain  in  him,  a 
flair  for  rescue  work. 

He  had  towed  in  one  child  at  the  Florida 
Beach  resort,  when  the  youngster  had  ventured 
out  too  far  beyond  the  ropes.  And  he  had  been 
known  to  swim  out  along  the  ropes  and  tug  at 
the  skirts  of  ladies  who  were  screaming  more 
than  he  thought  they  would  scream  if  they 
were  only  in  fun,  trying  to  get  them  back  in 
shallower  and  safer  water.  He  had  gotten  his 
picture  in  the  paper,  and  had  been  awarded  a 
silver  medal.  The  medal  he  still  wore  on  his 
collar.  It  had  never  been  pawned  or  sold, 
despite  the  lean  days  on  "  the  road. " 

It  was  he  who  was  responsible  for  the  second 
great  climax  in  Roger's  life.  A  movie  company 
from  Los  Angeles  came  down  to  Balboa  to 
make  a  shipwreck  picture  on  the  ocean.  On 
the  second  day  of  their  arrival,  a  sign  went  up 
on  the  director's  office — a  portable  house  that 
had  been  moved  down  upon  the  sands — 
"Wanted,  expert  swimmers."

""Y"OU  can  swim,  can  your'     Keally  swim 

■^  mean'  Can  you  dive?  Jump  from  the  deck 
of  a  ship?  Too  many  of  you  loafers  make  believe 
you  know  what  water  is  for  the  sake  of  horning 
in  on  five  bucks  for  the  day's  work.  Well — 111 
give  you  a  try.  Be  at  the  pier  at  ten  o'clock 
tomorrow  morning.  Here's  your  blue  slip. 
Show  it  at  the  ofi! 

That  was  all.  Xo.  not  quite  all.  For  going 
out  of  the  office,  Roger  caught  sight  of  the  back 
of  a  man  just  entering.  An  elderly  gentleman. 
The  face  was  hidden.  But  there  was  some- 
thing vaguely  familiar  in  the  way  in  which  he 
carried  himself.  It  was  the  carriage  of  an 
aristocrat.  Roger  heard  the  scraping  of  the 
director's  chair  as  he  rose  hastily  to  his  feet. 

"Well,  well,  well!"  he  heard  him  exclaim, 
with  the  effusive  heartiness  of  the  underling  to 
his  superior.  "This  is  a  surprise!  We  didn't 
know  you  were  coming  down  to  watch  the 
shipwreck  scene — yes,  sir.  everything  is  going 
fine — we  are  going  to  use  an  old  sailing  vessel 
that  has  been  condemned — burn  it  up — " 

Roger  passed  out  of  earshot  of  the  conversa- 
tion. 

The  next  morning  at  sunrise,  as  was  his  cus- 
tom when  unemployed,  he  took  Bruiser  down 
to  the  beach  for  a  swim. 

The  ocean  was  blue,  utterly  calm,  save  for 
the  gentle  sliding  rise  and  fall  of  great  lazy 
swells.  He  was  belatedly  conscious  of  vague 
cries  somewhere  near  him.  He  lifted  himself. 
1  reading  water.  Xear  a  small  float,  towards 
which  he  had  drifted,  a  girl  was  struggling  in  a 
most  peculiar  fashion.  She  was  splashing 
awkwardly,  apparently  trying  to  fight  off 
something  that  clung  to  the  brief  skirt  of  her 
swimming  suit.  Roger  laughed  even  as  he 
shouted,  and  plunged  towards  her. 

"Bruiser!     Stop  it!    Let  go!" 

The  dog  obediently  relinquished  his  hold  and 
the  girl  swam  with  easy,  decisive  strokes  to  the 
little  float.  She  lifted  herself  up  on  it.  a  slim 
dripping  Xaiad  encased  in  a  close  fitting  black 
suit  with  a  boyish  white  belt.  A  plain  black 
cap  came  well  down  around  her  face.  She  was 
breathing  heavily,  uncertain  as  to  whether  to 
be  indignant  or  amused. 

"Your  dog — "  she  commenced  as  the  young 
man  clambered  up  beside  her. 

"Yes,  yes,  I  know,"  Roger  interrupted  has- 
tily, his  e)-es  on  the  large  yellowish  dog  who 
was  paddling  towards  him,  "I'm  awfully  sorn  . 
He  has  a  talent  for  life  guard  work.  Whenever 
he  sees  a  lady  or  a  child  out  beyond  what  he 
considers  a  safe  deptli  for  them,  he  always  tried 
to  'save'  them.  It's  all  right  in  theory,  but 
rather  annoying  if  a  person  can  swim  and 
doesn't  want  to  be  'saved'.'' 

He  lifted  the  dripping  Bruiser  onto  the  float 
The  dog  wagged  himself  happily,  first  at  Roger, 
and  then  at  the  girl.  He  seemed  to  feel  that  he 
lad  accomplished  a  great  deal.  And.  as  a  mat- 
ter of  fact,  he  had. 

For  when  the  two  really  looked  at  each 
other,  there  was  an  instant's  breathless  silence. 
And  then — 

"Gianinal" 

"  Roger!" 

Their  hands  went  out  to  each  other,  natu- 
rally, instinctively.  They  stood  there,  hand  in 
hand,  their  eyes  tranced,  their  lips  smiling  as 
they  had  smiled  that  memorable  night. 

"Why — what  are  you  doing  here — "  she 
stammered — "I  have  wondered  about  you — 
that  is.  I— " 

"Oh.  I'm  just  around."  he  released  her 
hands  slowly.  Without  realizing  it,  he 
achieved  the  attitude  of  a  young  millionaire 
who  is  travelling  for  his  health — or  for  his 
whim. 

"The  question  is.  what  arc  you  doing  here? 
The  last  time  1  saw  you  was  in  New  York,  at 
the  ball — do  von  remember?"

SMEHOW  they  were  very  close  together. 
re  in  a  small  isolated  world  of  their 
own.  The  gently  blue  ocean  stretched  far  out 
around  them,  made  a  protecting  circle  for  their 
oasis  of  solitude.  Somehow  they  were  i 
other's  arms. 

I  .ina!"  he  said  hoarsely 

clung  to  him.  lifting  her  tense  face  with 
its  wide,  glowi- 

"'  You  won't  go  away  again.  Roger?  Promise 
me?  Can't  you  fed  that  we  belong  together? 
That  we  always  have?  1  knew  we  would  meet

else  has  ever  touched  my  heart — somehow  I 
knew  that  you  would  come  to  me.  I  am  happy 
— happy — " 

His  mind  was  in  a  whirl  He  could  not  think. 
Only  the  tremendous,  immeasurable  fact  that 
they  were  together — again. 

"I  love  you.  I  love  you!'-  His  lips  crushed 
dow-n  upon  hers. 

"  Yes.  I  know."  she  spoke  as  if  in  a  trance, 
ive   you,    too,    Roger.      I    always   have. 
There  will  never  be  anydne  else  for  me — I  will 
marry  you  whenever  you  wish  it — " 

■  was  as  if  someone  had  struck 
him  a  violent,  wanton  blow.    He  came,  n 
out  of  his  dream. 

Marriage  for  him!  A  derelict,  a  drifter!  He 
whose  very  existence  for  the  next  few  days  de- 
pended upon  the  pittance  he  would  receive  for 
being  an  "expert  swimmer"  in — her  p. 

"Gina!  Listen  to  me!"  he  burst  out.  But 
even  as  he  spoke,  there  came  a  hail  from  the 
shore.  A  megaphoned  call  that  blared  away 
his  intended  explanation. 

"Miss  Malotte!  Come  in!  Ready  to 
shoot!" 

A  perfect  arc.  and  she  was  in  the  water. 
Roger  could  do  nothing  but  follow  her.  his  soul 
numb  with  horror  and  misgivings.  Bruiser 
paddled  happily  in  their  wake.  He  was  not  a 
fast  swimmer,  but  a  steady  one.  He  landed 
upon  the  sands  soon  after  his  master.  He 
shook  himself  vigorously,  jingling  the  silver 
medal  on  his  collar. 

The  director  welcomed  them  both  with  a 
smile  that  faded  gradually.  He  belatedly  rec- 
ognized in  the  bronzed  young  swimmer,  the 
shabbily  dressed  man  who  had  applied  for 
work  the  day  before. 

"  Look  here.  Miss  Malotte. "  he  snapped  out. 
'"has  he  been  annoyins  you?  I  tried  to  keep 
anyone  from  goins:  in  the  surf — " 

"  Annoying  me?  "  Her  haughty  brows  lifted 
in  surprise. 

"  Yes;  I  didn't  know.  These  extras  take  lots 
of  liberties  sometimes. " 

He  turned  curtly  to  Roger. 

"  Get  your  clothes  on.  and  be  snappy  about 
it.  Be  at  the  pier  in  fifteen  minutes.  The 
wardrobe  man  will  give  you  a  costume." 

Gianina's  widened  eyes  went  slowly,  unwill- 
ingly to  Roger's  face.

"  You  are — working  in  my  picture — as  an 
extra?'' 

He  nodded,  trying  desperately  to  think  of 
what  he  should  say. 

"  You  are  doing  it  because  you — want  to?" 
Her  red,  insolent  lips  were  suddenly  very  white, 
waiting  for  the  answer. 

Roger  smiled,  a  bitter,  gentle  smile. 

"No,"  he  said  quietly,  "I  am  doing  it  be- 
cause I  have  to.  I  need  the  money.  I  am 
broke. " 

She  straightened  up  as  if  an  unseen  string 
had  jerked  her.  Outraged  pride  sent  a  flood  of 
color  rushing  into  her  cheeks  and  lips.  Her 
dark  eyes  blazed  at  him.  She  was  regally 
unaware  of  the  presence  of  the  director,  who 
uncomfortably  withdrew  to  a  distance 

"And  you  let  me  say — you  let  me  believe — " 
Anger  and  stricken  pride  made  her  incoherent. 

He  checked  her  with  the  slightest  of  gestures. 

"I  would  have  told  you,  Gina,  in  another 
moment.  Before  that — I  could  not  think.  I 
could  only  feel.  Yes,  it  is  quite  true.  I  am 
penniless.  I  have  been  a  tramp  for  the  last 
two  years.  You  left  New  York  on  the  day 
after  my  father — died.  There  are  details  that 
I  do  not  care  to  discuss.  Before  I  go,  let  me 
tell  you  this.  That  night  at  the  ball.  I  knew 
that  I  loved  you.  I  wanted  to  mam-  you. 
And  I  left  you  because — I  considered  you  and 
your  father  of  a  class  beneath  inc. " 

She  drew  in  her  breath  sharply.  He  went  on, 
with  quiet  steadiness.  "Never  mind  what 
happened  after  that.  It  was  one  of  Fate's 
grim  jokes — and  the  joke  was  on  me.  Now  we 
meet  again.  Our  positions  are  reversed.  You 
are  a  famous  star.  I  am  a  nobody.  Like  a 
teeter  totter,  isn't  it?  Up  and  down.  It  hurts 
your  pride  to  think  you  admitted  loving  me 
out  there.  Well,  it  hurt  my  pride  that  night  to 
think  how  nearly  I  came  to  proposing  to  you. 
There  is  probably  a  middle  ground  somewhere 
in  life.  But  you  and  I  won't  find  it.  Pride — it 
ties  us  to  our  seats.  We  will  go  up  and  down — 
down  and  up.  A  teeter  totter  moves  a  great 
deal,  but  it  doesn't  progress.  You  don't  under- 
stand me  now.  You  won't  unless  your  end 
crashes — as  mine  did." 

He  whistled  to  Bruiser,  and  turned  away. 
Gianina  looked  after  him  dumbly,  unable  to 
speak  or  move. 

T_TE  had  not  gone  far  before  the  swift  pad  of 
■*-  -*-steps  on  the  sand  behind  made  him  pause, 
his  heart  beating  with  a  sudden  mad  irrational 
hope.  Gianina?  No,  it  was  the  director.  He 
had  not  overheard  the  conversation,  but  there 
was  something  in  the  attitude  of  the  star  that 
seemed  to  indicate  a  deep  interest  in  the  enig- 
matical stranger  who  had  changed  in  his  ap- 
pearance overnight  from  a  vagrant  to  a  god. 
The  director  flattered  himself  on  knowing  the 
buttered  side  of  bread. 

"Look  here."  he  said  in  a  tone  that  was 
conciliator)'  without  being  too  committal,  "you 
aren't  going  to  walk  out  of  the  picture,  are 
you?  We  need  good  swimmers  badly.  Some- 
thing got  balled  up  in  the  Los  Angeles  office, 
and  they  didn't  send  us  down  enough  extras 
for  the  shipwreck  scene.  We  particularly  want 
to  pull  it  oil  this  morning  because  Mr.  Eldridge, 
our  eastern  chief,  is  here  on  a  visit.  You  can 
really  swim,  I  see  that.  And  we  could  use 
your  dog  too  for  a  human  interest  touch.  I'll 
make  it  worth  your  while.  I'll  give  you  fifty 
dollars  for  the  day. " 

"Mr.  Eldridge,"  Roger  said  slowly,  "Will- 
iam Eldridge  of  New  York?"  He  began  to 
laugh.    The  director  stared  at  him. 

"Well,  what  about  it?  Will  vou  work  or 
not?" 

Roger's  first  impulse  was  to  walk  swiftly 
away.  Fifty  dollars  for  the  humiliation  of 
working  as  an  "extra"  in  the  presence  of  Gia- 
nina— and  William  Eldridge  I  His  second  im- 
pulse put  a  check  on  his  rashness.  Fifty  dollars! 
Why,  it  was  a  fortune!  And  for  only  one  day's 
work.  Why  not?  Certainly  he  was  familiar 
by  this  time  with  humiliation.  He  had  thought 
himself  beyond  hurting.  But  there  was  still  an 
open  wound.  Well,  perhaps  this  day's  cauter- 
izing would  cure  it.

"  I'll  work,"  lie  said  briefly. 

Two  hours  later  tin-  weauierbeaten  dereiicl 
Ftdson  moved  creakingly  oul  ol  the  harbor  into 
the  ocean  under  convoj  oi  a  puffing  tugboat 
The  grimy  --ails  billowed  limply,  for  there  «.is 
no  wind.  A  convoj  oi  pleaaure  boats  and  great 
Qat  camera  barges  tagged  after  like  children 
following  a  hobo  arrested  by  a  policeman, 

TIM.  smelly  old  hulk  hail  undoubtedly  tar- 
ried some  curious  cargoes  in  her  time  But 
none  more  curious  than  this  gathering  i'i  beaux 
and  belles  in  stock  collars  and  *  rinolines,  their 
la  ix  covered  with  pinkish  grease  |>aint.  their 
apprehensi>  e  eyes  rounded  out  «  ith  blai  k  lines 
and  heavily  beaded  lashes. 

Very  much  alool  on  the  >tern,  under  a  can- 
opy marked  with  her  name,  on  a  canvas  >  hair 
marked  with  her  name,  sat  Gina  Malotte.     The 

spreading  black  crinolines  but  enhanced  the 
deli  ate  contour  oi  her  shoulders,  and  even  the 
ghastly  grease  paint  could  not  conceal  the  e\ 
otic  beauty  oi  her  features.  Neither  could  it 
i  onceal  the  furious  unhappiness  that  «as  ham- 
mering at  her  heart.  Her  richly  piled  hair  was 
ornamented  by  a  single  red  rose.     It  lay  dose 

against  her  cheek,  a  match  for  the  crimson  of 

her  tight  lipped,  sullen  mouth.  Her  eyes  were 
all  but  shadowed  by  the  drooping  of  her  heavy 
lashes. 

The  horizon  was  a  dark  line  of  leaden  gray. 
Hut  the  waves  rose  and  fell  with  long  slow 
murmurs  of  sound. 

Roger,  Standing  in  the  bow  with  Bruiser  at 
his  feet,  moodily  watched  the  swishing  of  the 
spray  that  leaped  up  around  the  prow  like 
snowy  arms  of  welcome.  A  last  caress  to  the 
I  attend  old  bride  of  the  sea.  For  even  then 
the  property  men  were  laying  lines  of  tow  on 
the  deck  and  were  anointing  the  gunwales  with 
kerosene 

The  direetor  rehearsed  the  extras  ajjain  and 
again. 

"  When  the  fire  starts,  everybody  run  for  the 
railing.  Don't  hesitate,  jump!  There  will  be 
lots  of  boats  to  pick  you  up.  Let's  make  this 
snappy.  The  sky  over  there  looks  like  rain. 
Bey!"  he  shouted  to  the  captain  of  the  tug 
boat,  "what  about  those  clouds  over  there?" 

The  man  looked  briefly. 

"Low  fo;:,  I  think.  Mister.  This  ain't  the 
season  for  storms.  Of  course  anything  can 
happen  here  on  this  coast,  but  it  would  only  be 
a  freak  squall — soon  over.  " 

Far  out  from  land,  the  tug  boat  disengaged 
herself  with  the  air  of  a  hurried  young  business 
woman  glad  to  be  rid  of  the  task  of  leading  a 
blind  man  across  the  street.  There  was  an 
hour's  delay  while  the  cameras  were  set  up  on 
the  barges,  and  while  Gina  Malotte  rehearsed 
her  scenes.  Then  the  director  went  down  the 
rope  ladder  to  join  William  Eldridge,  who 
chatted  with  the  cameramen  on  the  barge. 
Only  the  star  and  the  assembled  extras  were 
left  on  the  kerosene-soaked  vessel. 

"All  right,"  the  director  bellowed,  "that  is 
where  you  will  jump,  Miss  Malotte.  Cast 
loose  the  old  ship,  boys!  Get  ready  to  touch 
the  match  to  that  tow.  Ready,  everybody! 
Camera!" 

A  frightened  girl  touched  Roger  on  the  arm. 

"I  can't  swim,"  she  whispered  through  stiff 
lips,  "I  needed  the  money  so  badly — " 

He  forced  himself  to  smile  comfortingly  at 
her. 

"Don't  be  afraid."  he  said,  "make  your 
jump  with  the  rest  of  us  There  are  enough 
boats  out  there  to  rescue  an  army—" 

The  sentence  was  never  finished.  To- 
gether with  the  scraping  of  a  match,  and  the 
leaping  of  flame,  came  the  sudden  violent  roar 
of  the  storm.  Xo  rain.  Only  wind.  A  "freak" 
squall.  But  it  shook  the  old  hulk  with  a  mad 
twisting  whirl  that  snapped  the  spanker  boom 
as  if  it  were  a  twig,  and  lifted  the  bow  up  from 
the  snarling  water  to  dash  it  down  again  amid  a 
terrific  crash  of  leaping  spray. 

Pandemonium.  The  wrenching  of  the 
careening  ship,  the  Hash  of  spray,  the  roar  of 
the  wind.  \Vhere  was  the  convoy  of  boats? 
The  great  barge?  Xo  one  knew.  The  air  was 
filled  with  flame-shredded  clouds  of  smoke,  and

leaping,  slashing  buffets  of  foam.  The  hulk 
was  being  driven  before  the  wind,  helplessly 
lolling  from  side  to  side — the  kerosene-soaked 
bulwarks  llared  up  weirdly  in  the  appalling 
grayness  of  the  storm. 

At  the  first  impact  of  the  sudden  squall, 
Roger  had  fallen  against  a  hatchway.  A  man 
tripped  across  his  body,  and  another.  The 
fiery  ship  was  filled  with  panic;  screams  and 
shouts. 

He  heard  his  name  called,  desperately. 

"Roger!     Roger!     Where  art  you?" 

It  was  Gianina,  scorched  and  disheveled, 
choking  and  panting,  fighting  her  way  to  him 
through  the  thick  smoke  and  the  maddened, 
screaming  turmoil. 

"Roger!"  she  cried  out  to  him.  "if  this  is 
death,  let  us  die  together!  You  were  right,  I 
know  now  that  nothing  else  matters — nothing. 
I  love  you — now — always —  " 

Gently  he  put  her  away  from  him. 

"It  isn't  death,  Gina;  the  rain  will  come,  and 
I  think  the  old  boat  will  float.  She  has  lived 
through  worse  squalls  than  this  one.  Come, 
Gina,  we  have  to  fight  now.  If  we  hang  on 
until  the  rain  comes — " 

She  looked  at  him  once,  her  great  black  eyes 
stretched  wide  as  if  awakening  from  sleep. 

"We  can — we  will,"  she  said,  tight-lipped. 

HTHEY  worked,  they  fought,  those  two,  still- 
*•  ing  the  terrible  panic.  They  went  side  by 
side,  driving  back  the  frightened,  sobbing 
people,  so  grotesque  and  pitiful  in  their  black- 
ened finery.  They  argued,  cajoled,  threatened. 
They  whipped  the  courage  of  the  men,  the 
pride  of  the  women.  Gradually  there  came 
something  like  order  into  the  chaos  of  terror. 
The  men  began  systematically  to  beat  the 
flames  with  their  plum-colored  coats.  The 
leaping  spray  helped  to  check  the  sluggish,  but 
wind-fanned  blaze.  Roger  had  seized  the 
wheel. 

Grimly  he  clung  to  it,  keeping  the  wallowing 
craft  fairly  before  the  gale.  The  women  worked 
frantically,  slapping  at  the  blazing  bulwarks 
with  their  heavy  shawls.  Gianina  was  every- 
where. Her  face  was  blackened,  her  hair 
streaming  in  disorder. 

A  great  wave  swept  suddenly  upon  them, 
carrying  away  part  of  the  starboard  waist.  In 
the  swirl  and  lurch  of  the  tortured  ship.  Gia- 
nina fell.  The  water  sucked  around  her,  drew 
her  struggling  frantically  towards  the  splint- 
ered opening.  Roger  saw  it  too  late.  He  cried 
out  hoarsely.  But  even  as  he  lunged  forward, 
a  yellowish  body  was  before  him.  Bruiser,  in 
his  element.  Someone  to  save!  He  caught  the 
swishing  skirts  and  slid  half  the  width  of  the 
deck  before  he  could  twist  himself  so  as  to 
brace  his  body  against  a  capstan.  But  brace 
himself  he  did,  hanging  grimly  to  the  stout  silk, 
his  singed  coat  bristling,  his  eyes  watering 
from  the  smoke.  The  girl  caught  at  his  rough 
neck,  drew  herself  over  against  him.  Ther- 
ein ng  there  together.  She  waved  her  hand 
gallantly — "We're  still  here,"  she  cried.  She 
looked  at  that  moment  like  the  grimy,  black- 
eyed  Gianina  who  had  fought  the  urchins  of 
The  Street. 

Through  the  blinding  curtain  of  smoke  and 
spray,  Roger  caught  the  faint  outline  of  land 
ahead.  He  set  his  teeth  grimly.  Their  one 
chance  was  to  run  ashore — God  grant  that 
there  were  no  hidden  reefs. 

"Hold  on.  everyone,"  he  shouted,  "we're 
going  to  crash!  Keep  your  wits  about  you, 
everybody — Gina — hold  hard —  " 

He  flung  his  full  weight  upon  the  wheel.  The 
ship  swung  sharply  about.  There  was  the 
grinding  of  a  keel,  the  sudden  lurch  and  shud- 
der of  the  tortured  hull.  A  tremendous  lifting 
as  a  giant  breaker  carried  them  along.  A  sibi- 
lant rush  of  waxes.  The  vessel  slanted  sharply 
to  starboard.  A  yard  arm  snapped.  It  came 
hurtling  straight  at  the  wheel.  Roger  heard  a 
scream — Gina's  voice.  The  slashing  of  the 
belated  rain.  Then  he  was  plunged  in  dark- 
ness. 

Blackness  and  confusion.  A  delirium  of 
pain.  At  last,  a  glimmering  light  and  the  mur- 
mur of  voices.    Gianina's  face  over  him?    No,

surely  nnt .  It  was  but  part  of  the  dreai 
wet  tongue  on  liis  hand?  No,  that  must  be  a 
dream,  too.  But  at  lust,  after  lapses  and  ex 
panses,  the  dream  and  the  reality  merged,  "i^ 
eyes  and  his  mind  opened  together,  clearly, 
unclouded.  There  were  i  ool  tinted  trails  about 
him,  the  fragrance  of  flowers,  the  splash  oi  a 
fountain  somewhere  near  at  hand  And  bend- 
ing above  him.  Gianina's  face,  «itli  eyes  that

"Cina?"  he  said  «<-.iLl\,  and  smiled 
"  \  <••;,  oh,  yes,"  she  said  in  the  hushed, 
trembling  voice  of  one  who  ha-,  seen  the 

of  Heaven  swing  open  in  answer  to  prayer, 
"you  are  here  with  me,  deareM 

But  Roger  moved  his  head  painfully. 
"  Bruiser?"  he  asked  faintly. 
"lie  is  here,  too    everything  is  all  right, 
you  saved  us  all  that  terrible  day." 

He  nodded,  and  smiled,  and  slept       Hours    - 

or  was  it  days    later,  he  awoke  again,     Gia- 

nina  was  there.  Her  fan'  was  thinner,  her  eyes 
seemed  bigger.  It  may  he  that  she  had  not 
slept  or  left  him. 

"  Don't  try  to  think."  she  said  softly,  as  she 
saw  the  wrinkling  of  his  forehead.  "There  will 
he  so  much  to  say  later.  Mr  Eldridge  wants  to 
see  you — " 

site  laughed  suddenly,  very  softly,  a  laugh 
that  was  almost  ;i  soli. 

"Oh,  my  dearest,  lie  told  me  about  you, 
your  wonderful  youth-blind  sense  of  honor' 
Don't  you  See,  dear,  you  couldn't  have  learned 
anything  about  the  inner  workings  of  the  busi- 
ness that    would   have   caused   them   a   severe 

loss?1  You  were  just  a  boy,  with  an  exagger- 
ated sense  of  your  own  importance — 

"Mr.  Eldridge  says  you  left  something  with 
him — he  is  keeping  it  for  you — he  has  been 
trying  for  two  years  to  locate  you — " 

"Gina — Gina — "  Roger's  hand  went  out 
gropingly,  "am  1  really  awake?" 

She  caught  it  against  her  lips,  her  cheek.

-r; 


I  U.I.Y  awake,  my  dearest — and  so  am  I. 
Dh,  Roger.  I  have  learned  so  many,  many 
things.  That  day  when  Heath  was  looking  us 
in  the  face,  I  found  that  I  was  no  better,  no 
worse,  than  the  other  frightened  women  around 
me  Heath  was  not  impressed  because  I  was 
Gina  Malotte.  It  has  made  me  see  people — 
and  things — differently.  I  tried  to  live  alone 
on  the  heights  of  my  pride.  I  didn't  know  that 
it  was  such  a  shaky  perch,  that  it  could  tumble 
down  so  easily — " 

There  came  a  thump  on  the  bed,  and  the 
ingratiating  lunge  of  a  big  yellowish  body  as 
Bruiser  pushed  himself  between  them.  His 
tail  wagged  madly,  his  smudged  eye  was  fixed 
adoringly  on  his  master's  face. 

"  Dear  old  boy, "  said  Gina,  stroking  his 
rough  head,  "he  never  was  troubled  with  false 
pride.  He  didn't  waste  his  years  as  you  and  I 
did. 

"All  he  knew  was  love.  That's  enough  to 
know,  isn't  it?" 

Roger's  eyes  closed  contentedly. 

"It's  the  middle  of  the  teeter  totter,  sweet- 
heart. The  place  where  nothing  can  hurt  us  or 
move  us  because  we  are  there — together. " 


Question  of  Sex  Appeal 

V\7E  generally  hear  sex  appeal  defined  as 
**  something  that  breaks  hearts — which  re- 
calls an  old  Hollywood  story.  Mr.  Ben  Turpin 
and  a  young  gentleman  also  in  the  comedy 
profession  were  engaged  in  their  antics  when 
an  unhappy  remark  passed  between  them. 
Voices  were  raised;  the  pie  throwing  ceased  to 
be  in  jest,  and  Mr.  Sennett  himself  was  hastily 
sent  for  to  quell  the  disturbance. 

"What  the  devil's  the  matter?"  roared  the 
master  as  he  arrived. 

"I  leave  it  to  you,  if  I  ain't  a  right  to  fight 
him,"  said  Turpin  (he  is  the  one  of  the  crossed 
eyes),  his  voice  breaking  with  emotion.  "He 
says  he  has  more  sex  appeal  than  I  have."

You  Can  Lose  Several 
Pounds     a     Week! 

Safely,  Easily— with  SAN-GRI-NA 

"_^1.\NT-GRI-N'A  is  one  of  the  most  wonderful  discoveries  ever  made,  because  while  it  reduces 
^»V  you.  at  the  same  time  it  greatly  improves  your  health  and  vitality."  People  who  have  taken 
k_J  SAN-GRI-NA  and  reduced  state  that  most  of  their  ills  disappeared  after  they  had  followed 

the  treatment  only  a  few  days. 

SAN-GRI-NA  is  the  latest  way  of  reducing— the  most  sensible  and  the  safest, 
remedies  which  have  been  on  the  market  for  years  to  take 
off  your  excess  fat.  Most  of  these  remedies  have  never 
changed  their  formula  and  they  do  not  contain  the  latest 
ingredients  discovered  by  scientists  to  safely  remove  un- 
healthy, flabby  FAT.  SAN-GR1-XA  is  tie-  most  up-to- 
date  formula  science  has  to  offer.  It  lias  been  endorsed  by 
physicians,  nurses,  hundreds  of  gratefid  patients  and  it  is 
advised  and  recommended  by  Dr.  Rudolph,  former  health 
commissioner  as  positively  effective  and  absolutely  harmless. 
Most  cases  of  reducing  vary  from  three  to  five  pounds  a 
week.  "There  is  nothing  secret  about  SAN-GRI-NA  — 
nothing  magic— nothing  done  over  night,  but  a  steady  loss 
of  FAT  and  a  steady  gain  in  health."  Ask  some  people  you 
know  who  have  reduced,  what  they  took.  The  answer  will 
invariably  be  SAN-GRI-NA  I

parallel  line.  Then  sit  in  a  squatting  position, 
bending  knees  sharply  outward  until  the 
thighs  and  legs  are  doubled  upon  each  other 
and  the  weight  of  the  entire  body  is  supported 
by  the  toes.  Be  sure  to  keep  your  upper  I  ody 
erect.  Return  to  standing  position.  Repeat 
the  exercise  ten  or  twelve  times  in  the  begin- 
ning, night  and  morning,  gradually  increasing 
to  twenty  times. 

While  doing  the  squat  raise  the  arms  above 
the  head  when  squatting,  lowering  them  to  the 
sides  when  standing  erect.  Then  squat  with 
arms  raised  to  shoulder  height  sidewards, 
lowered  to  the  sides  once  more  when  standing 
erect.  This  exercise  has  many  virtues.  It  is 
especially  good  for  the  hips  and  abdomen,  it 
strengthens  the  muscles  of  the  spine  and  the 
ankles,  increases  the  flexibility  of  the  knee 
joints  and  in  combination  with  the  arm  move- 
ment helps  expand  the  chest  and  develop  the 
bust,  arms  and  neck.  It  will  give  you  grace 
and  a  better  carriage.  If  possible,  walk  a 
couple  of  miles  a  day.  Swimming  would  help 
you,  too. 

Anne. 

Anne,  I  think  fourteen  is  too  young  for 
dances  and  dates.  I  really  do.  It  seems  un- 
fair for  the  boys  to  flock  to  visit  your  friends 
when  they  come  home  from  school  and  then  to 
come  back  to  you  when  the  school  girls  return 
to  their  seminars-,  but  it  is  perfectly  natural 
Lhat  they  should  do  that.  We  all  love  novelty 
and  rush  after  it  and  the  boarding  school  girls, 
being  less  familiar  to  your  friends,  less  an 
everyday  occasion  are  bound  to  attract  them 
for  the  time  being.  Don't  worn-  about  it, 
however.  You're  only  a  little  girl  yet  and  you 
certainly  don't  want  to  be  thinking  in  terms  of 
"steadies"  at  this  time.  I'm  very  glad  you 
don't  "neck"  and  I  know  the  nicer  boys  will 
like  you  better  because  you  are  so  sensible. 

L.  E. 

A  receding  chin  is  usually  caused  by  faulty 
bone  formation  and  it  is  a  difficult  thing  to 
overcome.  I  have  some  chin  and  neck  ex- 
ercises, however,  that  I  will  he  very  glad  to 
send  you  if  you  will  post  me  a  stamped, 
self-addressed  envelope.  Do  you  know 
that  one  of  the  screen's  leading  actresses 
has  a  receding  chin?  Probably  you  have 
never  noticed  it  for  she  lives  up  to  that  chin  so 
beautifully  it  becomes  an  asset  rather  than  a 
liability.  She  has  great  simplicity  and  charm 
of  manner,  wears  extremely  simple,  girlish 
Frocks  and  a  very  simple  make-up.  That.  I 
think,  is  the  best  thing  for  you  to  do.  While 
I  still  think  you  are  pretty  young  to  be  worry- 
ing about  boys,  if  the  problem  is  really  bother- 
ing you  haven't  you  a  girl  friend  whose  manner 
toward  the  opposite  sex  you  can  imitate?  In 
any  group  there  are  always  girls  who  adapt 
themselves  to  boys  as  easily  as  a  fish  adapts 
itself  to  water  and  I  think  studying  their 
technique  is  a  distinct  and  legitimate  feminine 
activity.  It  has  been  my  experience  that  such 
girls  are  peppy,  jolly,  regular  girls  who  "play 
the  game"  and  I  believe  that  is  always  the 
best  attitude.  You  must  remember,  alas,  that 
most  boys  are  not  "highbrow"  and  key  your 
conversation  accordingly. 

Mrs.  I..  G.  F. 

I  feel  from  your  letter  that  you  are  worrying 
too  much  over  your  problem  of  neatness. 
Daintiness  and  good  grooming  are  great  assets. 
1  ut  really  the  means  of  securing  them  are  not 
as  difficult  as  you  fancy.  The  best  way  to  keep 
neat  and  clean  when  doing  one's  own  house- 
work is  to  have  one  or  two  sets  of  very  inex- 
pensive, simple  costumes  to  wear  during  that 
time.  Don't  wear  your  old  cast-offs,  worn  out 
shoes,  torn  dresses  and  such  things  if  you  can 
possibly  avoid  it.     Big.  enveloping  aprons  of

Miss  M  \\\n:  K. 

It  giving  your  luncheon  at  a  bote]  it  would 
be  very  attractive,  and  perfectly  good  form, 
to  use  table  favors.  Keep  them  simple  In 
writing  your  local  paper  about  the  party,  by 
all  means  include  your  guests'  names.  If  you 
feel  you  can  afford  it.  I  would  advise  you  to 
entertain  the  young  married  couple  who  have 
been  your  hosts  several  times,  as  soon  as  you 
tan  conveniently  arrange  it  After  all  you  owe 
them  a  social  debt  anil  the  Fact  that  the  young 
man  will  not  cooperate  with  you  on  it  does  not 
remove  your  obligation  to  the  newlyweds.  As 
a  purely  personal  piece  of  advice,  I'll  add  that 
I  wouldn't  invite  that  negligent  young  man  to 
thedinneryou  give,  however.  Get  someone  else. 

Diana. 

I  am  very  sorry  to  say  I  have  never  been 
able  to  find  sachet  on  the  market  that  was 
already  made  up  in  little  bags.  Occasionally 
you  can  find  them  around  Christmas  time 
in  the  art  departments  of  dry  goods  stores, 
but  then  they  only  come  in  twos  or  threes  and 
the  price  is  prohibitive.  The  sachet  you  have 
been  using  is  very  good.  Plain,  sweet  lavender 
is  very  delightful  and  less  expensive.  For  my- 
self, I  buy  ribbon  by  the  yard  and  sachet  by 
the  ounce  and  make  up  my  own  little  sachet 
bags.  Another  easy  method  a  friend  of  mine 
uses  is  to  buy  pleasantly  scented  cakes  of 
English  bath  soap  and  slip  them  in  her  bureau 
drawers.    She  testifies  it  is  very  effective.

A  flesh  brush  is  used  to  stimulate  circulation, 
to  rub  off  dead  skin  and  very  thoroughly  cleanse 
the  bod)-.  Whether  or  not  such  a  finish  would 
be  beneficial  to  you  is  difficult  for  me  to  tell. 
not  knowing  whether  you  have  a  tender,  dry 
skin  or  not.  Do  not  use  it  on  your  face,  but 
I  think  you  might  safely  experiment  on  your 
body.  A  skin  hearty  enough  to  stand  up  under 
a  flesh  brush  is  very  benefited  by  it.  When 
using  one,  follow  it  up  with  a  cold  shower. 
The  rouge  you  are  using  is  quite  satisfactory. 
You  might  experiment  with  one  verging  a  little 
on  orange.  It  is  possible  that  would  be  more 
becoming. 

Julia  S. 

Your  definition  of  yourself  as  victim  of  an 
"inferiority  complex"  is  quite  correct.  You 
have  got  one  of  those  pesky  things,  and  I  think 
it  such  a  pity.  Here  you  are  a  graduate  of 
High  School,  earning  your  own  living,  and  all 
worried  because  a  rude  boy  went  olT  with  your 
chum.  Oh.  Julia!  You  stop  that.  Your  letter 
reveals  you  have  too  many  line  qualities  to  be 
made  unhappy  by  a  silly  boy  who  is  attracted 
to  every  new  feminine  face  he  sees.  It's  a  fine 
thing  you  found  out  his  Bightiness  now,  rather 
than  after  you  had  grown  too  fond  of  him. 
Be  a  brave  girl  Buck  up  and  develop  your 
own  potentialities. 

Toots. 

Your  weight  is  just  right.  So  is  your  choice 
of  powder  and  rouge.     Clever  girl!

Menjou  Talks  About  Wornen

u+ 


It's  an  actual  fact— 


P\ANDRUFF  and  Listerine  simply  do  not  get 
•L>/  along  together.  And,  peculiarly,  the  real 
importance  of  this  fact  was  discovered  by  dan- 
druff sufferers  themselves  who  persisted  in  writ- 
ing in  to  the  makers  of  Listerine,  urging  that 
this  use  be  advertised. 

Hundreds  of  letters,  from  women  as  well  as 
men,  are  on  file,  making  chums  for  Listerine 
much  stronger  even  than  the  manufacturers  of 


Listerine  would  care  to  make.  So  if  you  are  trou- 
bled with  dandruff,  you'll  be  glad  to  know  that 
regular  applications  of  Listerine,  doused  on  clear 
and  massaged  in  will  actually  do  the  trick. 

It's  really  wonderful  how  it  invigorates, 
cleanses  and  refreshes  the  scalp.  And  how  it 
brings  out  that  luster  and  softness  that  women 
want— and  men  like.  Try  it  yourself  and  see.

Dentists  know  the  damage 
that  soft  food  does  to  gums 

Though  their  language  is  technical,  they  shorw 
us  a  simple  rway  to  keep  the  gums  in  health 

THERE  are  four  quotations  at 
the  right.  There  might  have 
been  forty— or  even  tour  hundred ! 
For  dentists  everywhere  are  preach- 
ing the  care  of  the  gums  as  well 
as  the  care  of  the  teeth. 

In  the  technical  journals  of  the 
dental  profession  —  in  the  clinics 
—  in  the  lecture  halls,  you  will 
find  a  remarkable  interest  in  the 
care  of  the  gums!  You  will  find 
the  experts  blaming  the  food  we 
eat— you  will  find  them  ardent  ad- 
vocates of  stimulation  and  mas- 
sage. They  warn  us  of  the  alarm 
ing  increase  in  stubborn  troubles 
of  the  gums,  today  so  prevalent. 

Ho<w  soft,  luscious  food  robs 
our  gums  of  health 

Our  daily  food  is  tempting  and 
toothsome.  But  it  is  these  creamy 
and  luscious  dishes  that  fail  utter- 
ly to  give  to  the  gums  the  stimula- 
tion they  need  to  keep  in  health. 

With  little  work  to  do,  the  gums 
become  logy.  The  circulation  of 
blood  within  their  wralls  slows 
down.  The  tissues  become  soft  and 
flaccid — too  weak  to  resist  infec- 
tion. Then  "pink  tooth  brush" 
appears— a  slight  bleeding  of  the 
gums,  a  warning  of  greater  trou- 
bles to  come. 

Why  Ipana  and  massage  are 
good  for  the  gums 

Your  dentist  will  tell  you,  prob- 
ably, that  the  mechanical  stimula- 
tion should  be  restored— that  the 
circulation  within  the  gum  struc- 
ture should  be  quickened  by  mas- 
sage. And  very  probably,  he  will 
recommend  that  this  message  be 
done  with  Ipana  Tooth  Paste, 
after  the  usual  cleaning  with 
Ipana  and  the  brush. 

Massage  will  rouse  the  stagnant       T^^  ^J^T'H'    "P  A  ^T"F 
circulation  within  the  gum  walls,       *  ^Vlll    K  f^.&  M.  X-»

and  Ipana  itself,  because  of  its 
ziratol  content,  will  strengthen 
the  under-nourished  tissue. 

Dentists  know  Ipana.  Our  pro- 
fessional men  have  demonstrated 
its  virtues  to  over  50,000  dentists. 
They  know  ziratol.  Many  of  them 
use  it  in  their  practice  as  an  anti- 
septic and  hemostatic.  It  was  the 
approval  of  the  profession  that 
first  gave  Ipana  its  start. 

A  month's  use  of  Ipana  imill 
start  the  good  work 

Switch  to  Ipana  completely  for 
one  month.  You  will  like  its  deli- 
cious taste  and  its  power  to  keep 
your  teeth  brilliant.  You  will  note 
with  delight  how  it  helps  you  to 
have  firm  healthy  gums.  The  cou- 
pon in  the  corner  brings  a  ten-day 
tube.  But  the  full-sized  tube — 
enough  for  a  hundred  brushings — 
will  demonstrate  to  you  beyond  a 
doubt  all  Ipana's  virtues. 

IPANA 


Look  over  this  testimony 

It  is  quoted  from  authoritative  lectures 

and  writings.      The  dentists   agree  that 

soft  food  is   at  the   root  of  our   gum 

troubles  and  that  proper  stimulation 

is  the  indicated  remedy. 


From  a  recent  dental  paper: 
"Rendering  the  food  super-fine  is  an  echo  of  the 
oft-repeated  charge  that  we  do  not  use  our  masti- 
cation muscles  enough  that  we  establish  a  blood 
stasis  and  thus  deprive  the  teeth  and  gums  of  cir- 
culating nourishment." 

From  a  prominent  specialist: 

"Most  of  the  food  of  the  American  today  requires 
but  little  chewing.  Many  of  our  vegetables  are 
"Burbanked."  There  are  no  longer  fibrous  vege- 
tables requiring  much  exercise  to  prepare  them 
for  swallowing.  Another  beneficial  effect  of  foods 
requiring  vigorous  chewing  is  the  stimulation  of 
the  gingivae." 

From  a  British  authority: 

"The  gums  must  be  frictionized  all  over,  behind 
and  before,  every  square  inch  of  them,  at  least 
once  and  preferably  twice  a  day.  Friction  of  the 
gum,  best  carried  out  with  the  tooth  brush. would 
absolutely  prevent  the  onset  of  pyorrhea." 

From  a  specialist  in  gum  diseases: 

"  In  cleaning  teeth,  the  bristles  must  move  from 
far  on  the  gums  to  the  biting  surfaces  of  the  teeth. 
In  so  doing,  venous  blood  circulation  in  the  gums 
is  stimulated,  while  the  interspaces  between  teeth 
are  reached.  This  stimulation  by  the  brush  is  a 
great  help  toward  gum  massage.

T^HE  great  actress  must  have  poise,  for  without 
-*■  it  there  can  bo  no  charm,  and  but  little  per- 
sonality. She  knows  t his,  and  would  willingly 

spend  thousands  of  dollars  to  secure  it. 

Hut  it  is  not  a  matter  of  money.  Mostly  it  Ac- 
pends  on  health,  vitality,  comfort  and  Freedom 
of  motion. 

Shoes  are  vital  to  all  these  factors.  Bothersome 
shoes  make  poise  almost  impossible  because  they 
seriously  affect  health  and  activity. 

This  explains  why  the  great  actresses  like  Norma 
Shearer,  Anita  Stewart  and  others  of  distinction 
wear 

THE 

/JRCH  PRESERVER 

They  know  that  this  shoe,  by  keeping  their  feet 
free  from  all  aches  and  pains,  free  from  all  sagging 
and  straining  and  pinching,  is  an  invaluable  help 
in  maintaining  their  poise  and  charming  appear- 
ance, especially  since  it  is  designed  in  the  smart- 
est styles. 

This  is  the  different  shoe  that  is  "changing  the 
ideas  of  the  Nation."  It  has  demonstrated  to 
thousands  and  thousands  of  women  that  they 
can  have  happy,  useful  feet,  therefore  attractive 
poise,  and  still  enjoy  the  very  latest  creations  in 
fashionable  footwear. 

No  other  shoe  can  give  the  advantages  of  the 
Arch  Preserver  Shoe,  because  the  exclusive  fea- 
tures of  this  shoe  which  enable  it  to  support  the 
arch  and  permit  perfect  freedom  of  bones,  mus- 
cles, nerves  and  blood-vessels,  are  patented.  Sizes 
for  women,  misses  and  children.

Brief  Reviews  of  Current  Pictures 


AMERICAN  VENUS,  THE— Paramount.— We 
think  this  is  great  entertainment.  Esther  Ralston 
and  Lawrence  Gray  are  romantic  figures  against  a 
background  of  the  Atlantic  City  Beauty  Pageant — in 
color.     {March.) 

ANCIENT  HIGHWAY,  THE  —  Paramount.  — 
A  passable  story  of  the  timber  lands  with  Jack  Holt 
preventing  the  villain  from  jamming  the  heroine's 
shipment  of  logs.      (January.) 

ARIZONA  SWEEPSTAKES,  THE— Universal.— 
A  snappy  Hoot  Gibson  western  with  some  novelty 
and  good  comedy  situations.      (February.) 

AUCTION  BLOCK,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn  — 
Charles  Ray  is  the  man  about  town  in  this  picture. 
There  are  a  lot  of  laughs  throughout,  and  you'll  enjoy 
this.     (April.) 

BEAUTIFUL  CHEAT,  THE— Universal.— Very 
amusing  at  times,  but  nothing  to  get  real  excited 
about.  (April.) 

BEAUTIFUL  CITY,  THE— First  National.— The 
story  not  up  to  the  Barthelmess  standard.  Contains 
good  atmospheric  shots  of  New  York's  tenement 
district.     (January.) 

BEHIND  THE  FRONT— Paramount. — A  satire 
on  the  lives  of  the  buddies  "over  there."  Slapstick 
comedy  with  enough  kick  in  it  to  make  one  realize 
that  Sherman  spoke  the  truth.     (April.) 

BELOW  THE  LINE— Warner  Brothers.— A  splen- 
did story  with  Rin-Tin-Tin  as  thrilling  as  ever. 
(December.) 

BEN  HUR — Metro-Goldwyn. — The  undying  drama 
of  Christ  interwoven  with  the  story  of  Ben  Hur,  the 
young  Jew  who  aimed  to  serve  him.  Ramon  Novarro 
is  at  his  finest.  A  picture  everyone  should  see. 
(March.) 

BEST  BAD  MAN,  THE— Fox.— Unsuitable  for 
Tom  Mix.  A  flimsy  plot  but  Clara  Bow  makes  it  en- 
durable.    (February.) 

BEST  PEOPLE,  THE— Paramount.— An  enter- 
taining story  of  a  son  and  daughter  of  the  hoipolloi 
who  insist  upon  marrying  a  chorus  girl  and  chauffeur, 
believing  that  love  is  the  only  thing.      (January.) 

BIG  PARADE,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn.— See  this 
if  you  have  to  pawn  your  shirt.  One  of  the  finest 
pictures  ever  made.  A  thrilling  love  story  against  the 
World  War  background  with  John  Gilbert  and  Renee 
Adoree.      (January.) 

BLACKBIRD,  THE  —  Metro-Goldwyn.  —  Lon 
Chaney  is  at  his  best  in  this  picture.  He  wears  no 
make-up.     Don't  pass  it  up.     (April.) 

BLUEBEARD'S  SEVEN  WIVES— First  National. 

— Let  the  gas  go  out  and  use  the  quarter  to  see  this. 
You'd  never  believe  Ben  Lyon  could  be  so  funny, 
with  Lois  Wilson  in  the  role  of  a  flapjack  flipper  at 
Childs.     (Feb.) 

BLUE  BLAZES— Universal.— A  fair  Western  with 
Pete  Morrison  as  the  star.  The  usual  riding,  shoot- 
ing, conflict  and  love.     (March.) 

BOBBED  HAIR— Warner  Brothers.— Silly  but 
lots  of  fun.  Kenneth  Harlan  and  Marie  Prevost  are 
ably  assisted  by  Louise  Fazcnda.      (November.) 

BRAVEHEART— Producers  Dist.— Rod  La 
Rocque'a  Srsl  Starring  picture,  and  a  good  one.  The  ro- 
mantic  tale  of  an    Indian  ill  love  with  a  white  girl, 

played  by  Lillian  Rich.     (March.) 

BRIGHT  LIGHTS— M-G-M.— Charlie  Ray  as

best  Western  in  many  a  day,  with  Hoot  Gibson.  Dif- 
ferent. Some  remarkable  riding  stunts  that  will  thrill 
you.     (December.) 

CALIFORNIA  STRAIGHT  AHEAD— Universal. 
— Very  ordinary  burlesque  comedy  rescued  by  the 
engaging  ways  of  Reginald  Denny.     (November.) 

CALL  OF  COURAGE,  THE— Universal.  —  Art

picture  is  helped  by  the  dumb  efforts  of  a  dog  and  a 
horse.     (November.)

The  usual  serial  stuff,  with  lots  of  action.     (April.) 

CAVE  MAN,  THE— Warner  Bros.— Another  silly 
vehicle  featuring  Matt  Moore  and  Marie  Prevost. 
Not  the  fault  of  members  of  the  cast,  but  in  the 
ridiculous  story.     (April.) 

CIRCLE,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn.—  A  weak  tea 
society  drama.  It  is  neither  interesting  nor  real. 
(December.) 

CLASH    OF    THE    WOLVES,     THE— Warner 

Brothers. — Rin-Tin-Tin  makes  another   big  hit,   this

AS  a  special  service  to  its  readers, 
Photoplay  Magazine  inaugu- 
rated this  department  of  tab- 
loid reviews,  presenting  in  brief  form 
critical  comments  upon  all  photoplays 
of  the  preceding  six  months. 

Photoplay  readers  find  this  depart- 
ment of  tremendous  help — for  it  is  an 
authoritative  and  accurate  summary, 
told  in  a  few  words,  of  all  current  film 
dramas. 

Photoplay  has  always  been  first 
and  foremost  in  its  film  reviews. 
However,  the  fact  that  most  photo- 
plays do  not  reach  the  great  majority 
of  the  country's  screen  theaters  until 
months  later,  has  been  a  manifest 
drawback.  This  department  over- 
comes this — and  shows  you  accurately 
and  concisely  how  to  save  your  mo- 
tion picture  time  and  money. 

You  can  determine  at  a  glance 
whether  or  not  your  promised  eve- 
ning's entertainment  is  worth  while. 
The  month  at  the  end  of  each  tabloid 
indicates  the  issue  of  Photoplay  in 
which  the  original  review  appeared. 


CLASSIFIED— First  National.— Don't  miss  this 
one.  Connne  Griffith,  "the  screen's  most  beautiful," 
proves  she  can  act.  in  this  unusually  entertaining 
comedy-drama  of  a  New  York  working  girl.  (January.) 

CLOTHES  MAKE  THE  PIRATE— First  Nation- 
al.— Leon  Errol  of  the  collapsible  knees,  and  Dorothy

Swanson   in  a   modern   role.      In   fact.   Gloria   in  two 

modern  roles — that  of  mother  and  daughter.     Her 
work  in  this  picture  will  be  much  discussed.     (Nov.) 

COBRA — Paramount. — Disappointing  to  Valen- 
tino fans.  Rudy  is  not  rightly  cist  in  this  and  Niia 
N.iKli  is  entirely  unbelievable.      (February.) 


COMBAT — Universal. — He  who  likes  a  lively 
romping  tale  crammed  with  action  will  like  this.  The 
youngsters  enjoy  it.     (April.)

Riviera.     (November.) 

COMPROMISE— Warner  Brothers.— A  good  cast, 
Irene  Rich.  Pauline  Garon  and  Clive  Brook,  in  an 
inadequate  story.    Fairly  entertaining.     (January.)

Good  acting  of  Betty  Compson  as  a  modern  Portia 
make  this  a  passable  movie.      (March.)

George  Walsh,  as  a  penniless  count  in  the  artists'  col- 
ony of  Paris,  marries  a  beautiful  actress  without  see- 
ing her.    Fairly  entertaining.     (February.) 

COWBOY  AND  THE  COUNTESS,  THE— Fox. 

— One  finds  no  amusing  tricks  of  style  to  divert  this 
from  the  commonplace.    And  such  an  absurd  storv. 

(April.) 

COWBOY  MUSKETEER.  THE— F.  B.  O— Tom

is  presented  with  snap  and  clearness.     (February.)

Howes,  the  star,  is  handsome — but  that's  about  alL 
A  melodrama  of  one  of  those  South  American  rev- 
olutions.    (November.) 

DANCE  MADNESS— Metro-Goldwyn—  Nothing 
new  in  the  plot,  but  it  establishes  Conrad  Nagel  as  a 
splendid  comedian.  It's  too  sexv  for  the  children. 
(April.) 

DANCING  MOTHERS— Paramount.— Story  of  a 
gentle  wife  who  would  a-flappering  go.  Result,  a  lot 
of  complications.  Clara  Bow's  performance  is  beauti- 
fully handled.  Alice  Jovce  and  Conway  Tearle  are  in 
it.     (April.) 

DANGER  GIRL.  THE— Producers  Distributing. 
— Priscilla  Dean  as  a  clever  secret  service  lady  in  a 
good  mystery  yarn.  She  has  able  support  from  John 
Bowers,  Cissy  Fitzgerald  and  Arthur  Hoyt.     (AprU.) 

DARK  ANGEL,  THE— First  National.— A  love 
story  of  the  War.  beautifully  and  touchingly  pro- 
duced by  George  Fitzmaurice  and  wonderfully  acted 
by  Vilma  Hanky  and   Ronald  Colman.     (November.) 

DAUGHTER  OF  THE  SIOUX.  A— Davis  Dis- 
tributing.— Neva  Gerber  and  Ben  Wilson  in  an 
Indian  story  that  may  amuse  the  children.     (.Vor.) 

DESERT'S  PRICE.  THE— Fox.— Buck  Jones  is 
always  interesting,  although  this  film  play  has  not 
much  originality.     Plenty  of  good  fights.    {.February.) 

DESPERATE  GAME.  THE— Universal.— A  mild- 
ly amusing  Western  of  a  college  cowboy.     {.Feb.) 

DON'T— Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer— The  title  tells 
you.  Don't.  It's  a  silly  picture  with  the  story  wan- 
dering all  over.     (April.) 

DURAND  OF  THE  BAD  LANDS— Fox.— Plenty 
of  action  with  Buck  Jones.    Weak  on  story. ,  (Dec.) 

EAGLE.  THE— United  Artists.— Rudolph  Val- 
entino in  three  fascinating  roles,  a  Russian  lieutenant, 
a  bandit  and  a  French  tutor.  Pretty  good  Valentino 
fare.     Vilma  Banky  is  lovely.     (January.) 

EAST  LYNNE— Fox.— This  decayed  old  melo- 
drama is  almost  interesting  with  such  a  fine  cast  and 
beautiful  backgrounds.  Alma  ^ubens.  Edmund 
Lowe  and  Lou  Tellegen  play  the  principals.   (March.) 

ENCHANTED  HILL.  THE— Paramount.— The 
shop-worn  Western  plot,  brightened  up  by  the  pres- 
ence of  Florence  Vidor  and  Jack  Holt,  and  capable 
direction.      (Miv. 

EVERLASTING  WHISPER.  THE— Fox— Tom 
Mix  fans  will  like  this.  Others  won't  Old  stuff.  (Dec.)

CECIL  B.DEMILLES 


PRODUCTION 


By  LENORE  J.  COFFEE 
Adapted  from  Konrad  Bercovici's  novel 
w.th  WILLI  AM  BOYD,  ELINOR  FAIR, 
VICTOR VARCON I,  JULIA  FAYE. 
and    THEODORE    KOSLOFFs 


CECIL  B.  DeMILLE 

the  Master  'Qenius 
who  thrilled  the  world 
with  "The  Ten  Com- 
mandments" surpasses 
himself  in  this  inspired 
production. 


AGAIN  the  master  magician  De  Mille  has  waved 
the  magic  wand  of  his  directorial  genius  and 
brought  to  life  on  the  screen  a  mighty,  epochal 
drama  that  sounds  a  new  and  triumphant  note  in 
the  history  of  motion  picture  entertainment. 

Brushing  aside  the  cobwebs  of  motion  picture  tradition,  he  has 
approached  the  subject  of  the  Russian  reign  of  terror  with  a  sympa- 
thetic and  human  understanding.  In  "The  Volga  Boatman"  is 
depicted  the  heart-beat  of  a  nation  in  revolt— pulsating— human — 
dramatic — irresistible. 

And  from  this  maelstrom  of  flame  and  strife  emerges  a  heroic  and 
sublime  story  of  love  and  devotion  involving  a  Prince,  a  Princess 
and  a  Volga  Boatman.  Never  in  the  history  of  the  cinema  has 
there  been  depicted  a  more  fascinating,  thrilling  and  never-to-be- 
forgotten  theme— A  Veritable  Achievement.

Tacoma,  Wash. 

It  amuses  me  the  way  so  many  "nice"  per- 
sons deplore  the  tendency  to  exploit  "sex"  in 
the  movies,  when  we  consider  the  success  of 
the  films  that  show  that  very  thing.  Why 
deplore  sex?  That  much  maligned  element 
has  as  much  right  in  the  films  as  any  other, 
and  is  just  as  interesting  when  rightly  handled. 

It  would  be  very  hard  to  convince  me  that 
the  younger  generation  or  any  generation  for 
that  matter,  can  be  corrupted  by  the  films. 
I  will  admit  that  I  have  seen  things  that  might 
start  my  son  asking  embarrassing  questions, 
but  never  have  I  seen  a  thing  in  the  films  that 
upset  my  Puritan  conscience  to  the  extent 
that  I  bolted  for  the  door.  Besides,  with  the 
aid  of  reputable  movie  magazines  it  is  easy 
to  pick  out  film  fare  for  a  child. 

The  great  portion  of  the  public  seems  to  love 
anything  that  has  a  risque  or  spicy  flavor. 
Why  this  is  I  do  not  know.  Freud  could 
possibly  explain  it.  Naturally,  producers  with 
an  eye  to  business  try  to  satisfy  that  demand. 
But  when  we  turn  to  literature,  don't  we  find 
the  same  thing?  Did  Shakespeare  ever  write 
a  Pollyanna  play?  Did  Anatole  France, 
Dumas — Balzac,  or  any  number  of  other  great 
writers  attempt  to  put  the  soft  pedal  on? 

The  films  furnish  too  much  entertainment, 
both  artistic  and  educational,  to  be  continually 
picked  on.  It  is  time  the  so  called  mental 
giants  give  them  a  rest.

Astoria.  L.  T. 
With  the  passing  of  Barbara  La  Marr.  the 
screen  has  lost  one  of  its  most  beautiful, 
talented,  and  lovable  actresses,  and  probably 
one  of  the  most  misunderstood.  Only  the 
other  evening  1  was  reading  about  her  aspira- 
tions to  come  back  to  the  screen  with  roles 
which  would  show  the  real  side  of  her  beautiful 
nature.  The  next  morning  I  was  staggered 
by  the  news  that  the  Grim  Reaper  had  taken 
her  away  to  find  the  peace  which  always 
seemed  to  be  denied  to  her  in  life.  To  those 
of  us  who  have  always  been  her  true  admirers 
it  always  seemed  that  Barbara  never  did 
have  a  chance  to  show  her  splendid  possibili- 
ties. Even  in  her  most  hectic  roles  there 
always  seemed  to  be  a  wistfulness  in  her 
eyes  which  bespoke  Iter  dislike  for  the  part 
siie  was  portraying.  She  was  too  great  an 
artist  to  let  thai  feeling  creep  into  her  charac- 
terizations.    She  seemed,  in  all  her  beauty, 


more  suited  for  the  role  of  Good  Samaritan 
than  Salome. 

Xow  she  has  gone  to  Eternal  Peace.  It 
will  be  a  long,  long  time  before  another  per- 
sonality of  the  screen  will  replace  her  in  the 
hearts  of  her  fans.  To  many  of  us  she  will 
always  remain  as  a  memory  of  a  beautiful 
and  good  woman;  a  splendid  actress,  risen 
to  the  heights  which  few  attain. 

Photoplay,  do  not  forget  her.  Render  her 
tribute  by  publishing  her  photograph  not 
once  but  many  times.  Tell  us  about  her  life 
with  that  fairness  and  kindness  so  character- 
istic of  your  magazine — and,  please  boost 
her  work  in  "The  Girl  from  Montmartre" 
when  it  is  shown.  MANUEL  Blakl. 

Boy,   "\  ou   Don't    Recognize   Sex 

Washington.  D.  C. 

That  a  picture  may  be  at  once  interesting, 
worthwhile,  and  amusing  without  displaying 
sex-appeal,  rip  tearing  dramatic  effects,  or 
nonsense  comedy  was  soundly  proved  by  the 
"Grand  Duchess  and  the  Waiter,"  with 
Florence  Yidor  and  Adolphe  Menjou. 

The  splendid  pair  and  their  director  deserve 
the  best  in  praise.  So  does  whoever  told 
Florence  Yidor  how  to  bob  her  hair  and  the 
bored  Menjou  how  to  acquire  that  joyous 
alertness,  so  long  wished  for  in  stars — a<s  well 
as  waiters. 

The  whole  picture  was  carried  through  with 
its  artistic  perfection.  True  art  can  I  e  as 
well  displayed  in  simple  vehicles  as  in  heavy 
tragedy.  The  same  genius  who  wrote  "Ham- 
let," created  "  A  Midsummer  Night's  Dream." 
I  am  overjoyed  to  see  that  someone  has 
shown  an  appreciation  of  this  on  the  screen. 
May  we  have  some  more  delicacies  such  as  the 
"Grand   Duchess  and   the  Waiter."

Hey,  Eleanor.  Lookit  This! 

Union,  X.  J. 

I  have  yet  to  decide  whether  I  have  been 
impelled  by  Eleanor  Boardman's  charming 
beauty  or  her  undeniable  talent  as  an  actress, 
to  utter  these  words  of  praise  in  her  behalf. 

1  recently  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  her  in 
"Memory  Lane."  In  this  picture  she  is  the 
personification  of  romance,  the  modern  god- 
dess of  love.  Her  performance  deserves  the 
highest  of  praise.  She  simply  glanced  through 
the  scenes  with  the  grace  and  poise  of  a 
Grecian  goddess.  All  combined,  these  qualities 
make  the  picture  a  delightful  treat.

What  Is  Personal 
Magnetism? 

I  have  proved  in  thousands 
of  cases  that  magnetism  is  not 
limited  to  a  gifted  few.  Every- 
body lias  it.  The  only  differ- 
ence is  that  some  know  how 
to  use  it — while  in  others  it 
lies  dormant,  unused,  unsus- 
pected. 

Personal  Magnetism  is  not 
a  fad,  not  some  new  psycho- 
logical theory.     It  is  you. 
your  manner,  yourself — made 
magnetic.    No  leader  of  men 
has  long  survived  without  it. 
No  great  orator  or  musician 
or  actor  can  hold  audiences 
spellbound   without  it.     No 
business  man  can  win  outstanding  success 
without  it.    No  woman  can  be  really  charm- 
ing without  it.     It  is  greater  by  far  than 
wealth,  than  good  looks.     It  is  you,  made 
magnetic!    It  is  you.  with  a  personatity  so 
fascinating  and  irresistible  that  people  are 
drawn  to  you  as  steel  is  drawn  to  a  magnet !

Don't  Fear  Baldness!      I'll  Grow 

New  Hair  For  You  In  30  Days— Or 

The    Trial    Costs    You    Nothing. 

By  Alois  Merke 

That's  the  story!  And  no  strings  attached!  Maybe 
your  hair  is  falling  out  rapidly.  Maybe  it  is  nearly  gone. 
Yet  I  guarantee  my  new  scientific  system  will  give  you  a 
new  head  or  hair  in  30  days,  or  no  cost  to  you. 

I've  found  that  in  most  cases  of  baldness  the  hair  roots 
are  not  dead  but  dormant— asleep.  Oils,  scalp  massages, 
and  ordinary  tonics  failed  because  they  treated  only  the 
surface  skin.  You  don't  rub  "growing  fluid'  on  the  bark 
of  a  tree  to  make  it  grow;  you  get  down  to  the  routs. 
And  that's  exactly  what  my  system  does!  It  goes  brneath 
thesurface,  bringing  nourishment  direct  to  those  dormant 
roots,  which  soon  grow  healthy  hair  again.  In  every  home 
where  there  Is  electricity— in  YOUR  home— without  the 
least  discomfort,  this  remarkable  result  is  possible,  or  no 
cost  to  you. 

Here's  Your   Contract 

I've  treated  thousands  at  the  Merke  Instituf.  Fifth 
Ave..  New  York,  many  paying  as  much  as  5510  for 
results  secured  thru  personal  treatments.  Yet  now  you 
may  s  cure  the  same  results  in  your  own  home  for  just  a 
few  cents  a  day.  Many  people  are  bald,  yet  very  few  of 
these  cases  are  hopeless.  That's  why  I  otter  you  this 
contract— If  within  30  days  you  are  not  completely  satis- 
fied, say  so.  And  your  money  is  instantly  and  gladly 
refunded. 

Send   For  Booklet 

Let  me  send  you  a  wonderfully  interesting  free  booklet 
describing  my  simple  effective  treatment.  Just  mail 
coupon.  You  want  hair  a  month  from  now;  send  that

Brief  Reviews   of  Current   Pictures 

[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  1 3  ] 


PROUD  HEART  'title  chanced  from  HIS 
PEOPLE) — Universal. — One  of  the  finest  pictures  of 
Jewish  emigrant  life  we've  seen.  Schildkraut.  pcrc, 
contributes  a  great  performance.      (December.) 

QUEEN  O'  DIAMONDS— F.  B.  O  —  There's  not 
much  to  recommend  in  this  picture,  but  we  think 
you'll  live  through  it.     (April.) 

RECKLESS  LADY,  THE— Flr-t  National  — 
Another  mother  love  theme,  with  Belle  Bennett  and 
Lois  Moran.    Good  entertainment.     (April.) 

RED  HOT  TIRES— Warner  Brothers.— Just  a 
mix-up  of  good,  bad  and  indifferent  comedy,  played 
by  Monte  Blue  and  Patsy  Ruth  Miller.     (November.) 

RED  KIMONO,  THE— Vital.— Avoid  this  picture. 
It  is  a  very  stupid  version  of  a  good  story  by  Adela 
Rogers  St.  Johns,  and  not  worth  anybody's  time. 
{March.) 

REGULAR  FELLOW,  A— Paramount.— (Re- 
viewed under  the  original  title,  "He's  a  Prince").  A 
gay  burlesque  of  royalty  with  Raymond  Griffith  as  a 
prince  with  democratic  ideas.     (November.) 

RIDIN'  THE  WIND— F.  B.  O.— Fred  Thomson 
disappoints.  He  rescues  his  brother  from  bandits,  re- 
turns the  stolen  money  and  wins  the  girl.    (December.) 

ROAD  TO  YESTERDAY,  THE— Producers  Dist. 
■ — Catch  this  picture  for  the  gorgeous  train  wreck. 
The  story  is  a  little  muddled  but  fairly  entertaining 
due  to  the  reincarnation  theme.      (January.) 

ROCKING  MOON— Producers  Distributing.— A 
good  story  with  a  new  and  interesting  background — 
an  island  in  Alaskan  waters.  Laska  Winter  is  the 
outstanding  member  of  the  cast.     (April.) 

ROSE  OF  THE  WORLD— Warners.— Sincere  per- 
formances by  a  good  cast,  but  an  unconvincing  story. 
Not  very  worthwhile.      (January.) 

SALLY,  IRENE  AND  MARY— M-G-M  — An  ex- 
tremely interesting  story  of  chorus  girl  life,  with  a 
splendid  cast  and  a  goodly  sprinkling  of  laughs  and 
tears.    Sally  O'Neil  is  a  knockout!     (February.) 

SATAN  IN  SABLES— Warner  Brothers.— Lowell 
Sherman  is  a  bad  Russian  grand  duke.  Pauline  Garon 
is    a    little    rose    from    Montmartre.     (December.) 

SCANDAL     STREET — Arrow. — An     interesting 

picture  because  of  movie  studio  atmosphere.  Story 
of  a  movie  actress  and  her  husband  who  are  both 
starred  at  the  same  studio.      (January.) 

SCARLET  SAINT,  THE— First  National.— A 
very  dull  story  and  inexcusably  sexy.     (February.) 

SCRAPPIN'  KID,  THE— Universal.— A  conven- 
tional Western  with  Art  Acord.     Fair.     (February.) 

SEA  BEAST,  THE— Warner  Brothers.  The  ex- 
quisite Dolores  Costello  overshadows  John  Burry- 
more  and  the  thrilling  tale  of  Moby  Dick,  the  white 
whale.  Almost  unbelievable,  we  know.  See  for 
yourself.      (March.) 

SEA  WOLF,  THE— Ralph  Ince  Prod.— A  well- 
made  picture  of  Jack  London's  famous  novel.    (Feb.) 

SEVEN  DAYS  —  Producers  Distributing.  —  The 
famous  farce  is  given  splendid  production  and  it  is 
well  acted.  Eddie  Gribbon  is  very  amusing.  (No- 
vember.) 

SEVEN  KEYS  TO  BALDPATE— Paramount.— 

Leave  the  dishes  in  the  sink,  if  you  miss  the  first  of 
this,  you're  lost.  A  corking  comedy-melodrama  with 
Douglas  MacLean  and  Edith  Roberts.     (January). 

SEVEN  SINNERS— Warner  Bros.— A  hilarious 
crook  story  with  Marie  Prevost  and  Clive  Brook 
heading  a  good  cast.    (February.) 

SHIP  OF  SOULS,  THE— Asso.  Ex.— Lillian  Rich 
and  Bert  Lytell  in  .1  Story  of  the  north  where  men  .ire 
driven  mad  bv  the  silence  and  solitude.  Onlv  fair, 
(Af arch.) 

SIMON  THE  JESTER— Producers  Dist— A 
hodge-podge  story  about  .1  clown  with  a  broken  heart, 
played   uninterestingly  by  Eugene  O'Brien.     (Feb.) 

SIX   SHOOTIN"   ROMANCE.    A— Universal.— 

Another  conventional  Western  witli  Jack  lloxie  win- 
ning an  unwilling  bride.     (March.) 

SKINNER'S  DRESS  SUIT— Universal— Rcgi- 
nald  Denny  and  Laura  La  Plante  screamingly  funny 
trying  to  teach  some  society  folk  the  Charleston.  (Feb.) 

SKYROCKET,  THE  — Associated  Exhibitors  — 
The    best     picture    about   motion    picture    people    so 

far.  and  IYggy  Hopkins  Joyce's  debut  on  the  screen. 

Adapted  trom  Adda  Rogers  St.  Johns'  novel  of  the 
same  name,     (./urinary.) 

SMILIN'  AT  TROUBLE— F.  B.  O.— A  nifty  pic- 
ture with  Lefty  Flvnn  as  .1  civil  engineer  working  on 
the  construction  of  a  dam.     (.February.) 


SOME  PUNKINS— Chadwick.— Charles  Ray  in 
his  old  hick  role  is  fairly  amusing.     (February.) 

SONG  AND  DANCE  MAN,  THE— Paramount.— 
Tom  Moore  and  Bessie  Love  in  an  interesting  story  of 
back  stage  life.  Bessie  does  the  Charleston  again. 
(March.) 

SON  OF  HIS  FATHER,  A— Paramount.— One  of 
the  dullest  pictures  on  record,  from  a  Harold  Bell 
Wright  story-      (December.) 

SOULMATES— Metro-Goldwyn—  A  highly  un- 
convincing romance  between  an  English  lord  and  a 
plebeian  lady.  Aileen  Pringle  and  Edmund  Lowe 
play  unsuitable  roles.    Not  worth  while.    (March.) 

SOULS  FOR  SABLES— Tiffany.—  A  great  dis- 
play of  feminine  finery  and  a  story'  of  fair  value.  Good 
for  grown-ups.  Claire  Windsor  and  Eugene  O'Brien 
head  the  cast.     (November.) 

SPLENDID  CRIME,  THE— Paramount— A  com- 
monplace crook  dram3,  without  humor  to  lighter  it. 
(February.) 

SPLENDID  ROAD,  THE— First  National— A 
colorful  drama  of  the  Gold  Rush  of  '4°  with  Anna  Q. 
Nilsson  giving  a  fine  performance.     (February.) 

SPORTING  LIFE— Universal.— A  new  version  of 
an  old  melodrama  of  life  in  the  fighting,  racing  and 
spending  circles  of  London.     (November.) 

STAGESTRUCK  —  Paramount.  —  A  rip-snortin' 
comedy  with  Gloria  Swanson  juggling  cups  in  a  cheap 
restaurant  and  taking  correspondence  lessons  in  act- 
ing.  LawTence  Gray  is  great  as  her  boy  friend.   (Feb.) 

STEEL  PREFERRED — Warner  Bros.— William 
Boyd  stands  out  in  this  fairly  entertaining  comedy- 
drama  of  strong  men  and  steel.     (February.) 

STELLA  DALLAS— United  Artists.— An  almost 
perfect  picture,  with  one  of  the  greatest  performances 
ever  given  to  the  screen — that  of  Belle  Bennett  in  the 
title  role.     (December.) 

STELLA  MARIS— Universal.— Mary  Philbin  in  a 
dual  role;  that  of  a  deformed  slavey  and  a  beautiful 
cripple  girl.    A  lovely  story.    Do  not  miss  it.   1 March.) 

STEPPIV  OUT — Columbia.— A  brisk  comedy 
with  Ford  Sterling  as  an  errant  husband.  (February.) 

STILL  ALARM,  THE— Universal.— Has  all  the 
ingredients  of  an  entertaining  picture.  Drudging 
wife  leaves  her  husband  and  elopes  with  charming 
villain.      (March.) 

STOP,  LOOK  AND  LISTEN— P. the— A  good 
Larry  Semon  comedy  taken  from  the  stage  play,  full 
of  the  Semon  gags  that  youngsters  enjoy.     (M 

STORM  BREAKER,  THE— Universal.— A  good 
story,  some  consistent  character  studies  and  excellent 
sea  atmosphere  make  this  a  fine  picture  for  adult 
entertainment.      (November.) 

SWEET  ADELINE— Chadwick.— Charles  Ray. 
the  country  boy.  goes  to  New  York  and  makes  a  hit 
singing  "Sweet  Adeline"  in  a  cabaret.  Full  of  de- 
licious bits  of  humor.     Mighty  good.     (Me 

THANK  YOU— Fox.— The  performance  of  Alec 
Francis  as  a  small  town  minister  is  the  only  redeeming 
feature  of  this  film.     {December.) 

THAT  ROYLE  GIRL  —  Paramount.  —  Carol 
Dempster  will  surprise  you  in  this.  It's  a  peppv  story 
of  a  misguided  youngster  in  the  cabaret  world  oi 
Chicago.  Something  entirely  new  from  D.  W.  Grif- 
fith.    See  it.      (March.) 

THREE  FACES  EAST—  Prod ticers  Dist— Drop 
everything  and  see  this  corking  mystery  play  of  the 
English  and  German  secret  service  activities  during 
the  war.     Jetta  Goudal  is  wonderful  in  it.     (March.) 

THREE  PALS— Davis  Dist. — An  uninteresting 
story,  badly  played  and  badly  directed.    (January.) 

THREE  WISE  CROOKS— F.  B.  O— Pretty  bid. 
Evelyn  Brent  tries  to  rescue  the  picture  from  m 
rity  by  some  good  acting,  but  to  no  avail.   (December.) 

THUNDER  MOUNTAIN— Fox.— The  old  feud 
story,  refreshingly  told,  with  fine  humor.     (December.) 

TIMBER  WOLF,  THE— Fox.— Buck  Jones  doing 
his  best  in  a  regular,  old-time  thriller.     {.November.) 

TIME.  THE  COMED1  VN— M-G-M.— Worth  see- 
ing for  the  good  performances  of  Mae  Busch  and  Lew 
Cody.     (February.) 

TOMO.  SON  OF  THE  SIERRAS— Davis  Dist  — 
A  pretty  good  story  of  the  by-gone  West.     (Feb.) 

TOO  MUCH  MONEY— First  National— Lewis 
Stone  in  slapstick  comedy — can  you  imagine  it?  But 
he  actually  puts  it  over.  Rich  man  pretends  ne's  poor 
so  wife  will  come  down  to  earth  and  be  human. 
Good.      {.March.)

Is  This  a  Cactus? 

St.  Louis.  Mo. 

That  the  Dr.  Jekyl  and  Mr.  Hyde  type  of 
role  fits  Lon  Chaney  well,  and  that  Lon  Chaney 
seems  best  adapted  to  it  is  unquestioned  in 
my  opinion,  but  granting  it  so.  what  justifica- 
tion is  there  for  this  consistent  stereotyped 
performance? 

The  name  Lon  Chaney  has  become  asso- 
ciated with  the  Poe  series  of  uncanniness. 
Of  course.  I'll  take  a  Frankenstein  any  time 
to  anything  else  but  I  fear  we  are  going  to 
become  tired  to  Hydes,  masqueradors  and 
cripples,  particularly  placed  in  weak  plotless 
stories. 

The  last  of  Lon's  stories  were  purely  vehicles 
for  Lon  and  not  Lon  for  the  story. 

This  is  a  cross  between  a  bouquet  and  a 
brickbat  and  is  not  intended  to  praise  or 
blame.  Come  on  now  Chaney  and  take  the 
bluebird  for  happiness.    Oliver  D.  Meyer. 

For  Better  Stories 

Piedmont,  Canada. 

The  people  who  select  stories  to  be  filmed 
should  be  told  what's  what.  It  is  most  unfair 
to  take  one's  revenge  out  on  the  actors  and 
directors. 

Who  picks  the  story  in  the  first  place?  And 
why  does  not  the  "picker"  use  his  business 
sense?  If  a  great  novelist  writes  one  good 
screen  play,  does  it  follow  his  next  one  will  be 
as  good? 

Sometimes  a  screen  story  is  so  beautiful  that 
we  come  away  another  person.  We  can't 
remember  the  troubled  thoughts  we  had  when 
we  went  in.  Some  of  the  beauty  clings  to  us 
Still.  We  imitate,  in  our  rooms,  the  little 
artistic  touches  seen  in  the  "movie"  room. 
We  find  ourselves  trying  to  be  brave  as  the 


hero  in  the  play.  .  .  .  That's  when  we  have 
been  to  a  MOVIE!  But  when  we  come  away 
from  "trash"  we  wonder  where  they  got  the 
story. 

In  every  big  city  there  should  be  an  office 
where  stories  from  sober  people  were  looked 
over,  accepted  or  rejected.  What  a  wealth 
of  novelty  that  might  find! 

The  bit  of  land  with  the  solitary  elm  tree 
has  a  little  house  farther  back  on  it,  where  I 
am  writing  this.  We  are  going  in  a  party  to 
see  "Stella  Dallas"  if  it  comes  as  far  north  as 
this.  We  are  46  miles  from  the  great  city  of 
Montreal.  We  must  go  through  dangerous 
hills  to  go  to  our  only  picture  house  and  it 
takes  us  a  long  time.  Do  you  blame  us  if  we 
do  a  little  cussing  when  we  are  disappointed? 

Best  wishes  to  Photoplay  and  all  the  lovely 
people  who  cheer  us  up  here  in  the  silent  hills.

"His  People",  Again 

Los  Angeles,  Calif. 

The  director  of  "His  People"  is  to  be  con- 
gratulated on  his  clever  handling  of  a  story 
rich  in  human  interest  and  heart  throbs. 

The  whole  thing  could  have  so  easily  been 
overdrawn,  but  it  was  all  so  sane  and  real,  one 
could  imagine  oneself  in  the  lower  East  side 
of  Xew  York. 

Just  a  simple  tale  of  Jewish  parents  with 
two  sons. 

Please  give  us  more  stories  of  this  sort  free

people  who  live  and  let  live. 

Rudolph  Schildkraut  gave  a  performance  that 
seemed  perfect.  Everyone  in  the  audience 
understood  the  heartaches  of  Mama  Comin- 
sky.    What  more  can  be  said  of  real  art?

"Why,"  demanded  the  Lady  Joan  in  disapproval,

The  gentlemen  maintained  an  embarrassed  silence. 

••Ah,  Michael,"  she  exclaimed,  espying  her 
faithful  gardener  peering  from  behind  a  tree,  "step 
forth  and  explain  this  scene." 

"Please,  Your  Ladyship,"  said  Michael,  "it  all 
started  with  Lord  Ormond  saying  that  your  beauty 
came  from  beauty  soaps  and  lotions  that  he  had 
brought  you  from  the  far  East.  Sir  Harry  said  His

the  physician,  the  dermatologist,  the  skin  specialist 
will  tell  you.  These  authorities  go  further  and  say 
that  more  elaborate  treatments  are  usually  useless  and 
frequently  harm  the  skin — by  making  it  sensitive, 
enlarging  pores,  or  relaxing  tissues. 

But  just  an\  soap  will  not  give  your  skin  the  per- 
fect cleansing  it  requires.  You  need  a  gentle  soap 
that  protects  delicate  texture  and  bloom — a  soap  of 
unquestioned  purity — Ivory.  With  good  health  and 
Ivory  Soap — so  safe  that  physicians  almost  univer- 
sally recommend  it  for  babies — the  care  of  \>>ur 
complexion  becomes  a  very  simple  matter.

Speaking  of  Pictures 


By  James  R.  Quirk 


WHAT  is  William  Fox  going  to  do  with  "Wli.it 
Trier  Glory?"  and  "Seventh  Heaven"  and 
otluT  big  Broadway  theatrical  successes  thai 
he  has  corralled  for  pictures?  Will  he  duplicate  his  rial 
failure  to  give  US  a  screen  production  that  carried 
the  spirit  and  the  success  of  the  stage  version  of 
"Lightnin',"  and  the  inadequacy  of  "The  First  Year," 
which  did  not  live  up  to  expectations? 

If  these  four  are  not  ideal  screen  material,  what  is? 
All  successful  plays  are  not  good  screen  material.  Not 
by  a  jugful.  But  all  four  of  these  are,  and  we  would  be 
delighted  to  see  Mr.  Fox  retrieve  himself  with  the  two 
that  are  now  going  into  production. 

PHERE  is  a  growing  tendency  among  producers  to 
look  askance  at  stage  plays.  Few  of  the  big  money 
makers  have  come  from  that  source.  But  there  is  still 
a  theory,  gradually  weakening  in  the  light  of  experience, 
that  a  successful  stage  play  would  make  a  success- 
ful movie. 

'""THE  BIRTH  OF  A  NATION"  had  been  pro- 
duced on  the  stage  under  the  title  of  "The  Clans- 
man," from  Dr.  Dixon's  novel.  But  it  was  no  tremendous 
success,  nothing  comparable  with  the  popularity  of  D. 
W.  Griffith's  epoch  making  film.  "Hearts  of  the  World" 
was  an  original  screen  story.  So  was  "The  Big  Parade," 
"The  Ten  Commandments,"  and  most  of  Douglas 
Fairbanks'  successes.  "The  Four  Horsemen"  was  a 
novel,  as  was  "The  Covered  Wagon,"  "The  Sea 
Hawk,"  and  "The  Hunchback  of  Notre  Dame." 
"The  Miracle  Man"  was  a  short  story,  and  "Over  the 
Hill"  was  a  theme  taken  from  a  poem. 

Doesn't  it  prove  that,  after  all,  it  is  not  the  source  of 
the  story,  but  the  intelligence,  the  craftmanship,  the 
treatment,  and  the  showmanship,  that  make  the 
picture? 

Whatever  they  say,  it  is  the  man  at  the  head  of  the 
production  forces  that  makes  or  breaks  a  picture. 
There  is  a  very  small  group  of  men  in  the  whole  industry 
who  are  directly  responsible.  They  choose  the  stories, 
regardless  of  their  origin.  They  select  the  directors 
and  casts.  They  have  entire  charge  of  the  production 
and  the  last  word  with  the  finished  film. 


Metro-Goldwyn  lot.  Was  it  his  directors,  was  it  his 
brilliant  supervisors,  Thalberg  and  Rapf,  or  who 
or  what  ? 

"Well,"  he  said,  "Thalberg  and  Rapf  are  the  fines! 

men  in  the  business,  but  I  know  whom  the  home  office 
blames  for  the  bad  ones.  It's  Louis  B.  Mayer."  He 
said  it.    And  Marcus  Loew  picked  Mayer. 

'  I  'HE  trade  mark  in  pictures  has  come  to  mean  just  a> 
much  as  the  trade  mark  of  a  soap  or  a  canned  soup. 
And  like  these  commodities,  no  amount  of  advertising 
can  make  them  popular  unless  the  quality  of  the  prod- 
uct lives  up  to  the  advertising.  Paramount,  Metro- 
Goldwyn,  First  National,  Universal,  Pathe,  Producers 
Distributing  Corporation,  Fox,  United  Artists,  stand 
for  varying  standards  of  quality  in  the  public  mind. 
Every  picture  you  see  under  one  of  those  trade  marks 
affects  your  judgment  of  that  banner.  All  the  adver- 
tising in  the  world  would  not  convince  you  of  the 
superiority  of  any  of  them  if  you  were  to  see  a  long 
line  of  poor  productions. 

Fortunately,  the  American  public  is  I  growing  in 
tolerance  with  its  increasing  knowledge  of  the  in- 
tricacies of  production,  and  it  will  come  back  for 
more  punishment  time  after  time.  Then,  two  or  three 
good  pictures  renew  the  faith  in  the  trade  mark  and 
the  enthusiasm  for  more  pictures. 

T  ONCE  sat  in  a  conference  at  the  Bankers'  Club  in 
New  York  with  four  Wall  Street  men  who  were  con- 
sidering the  purchase  of  one  of  the  big  film  companies. 
The  only  reason  they  didn't  buy  it  was  that  they 
could  not,  for  any  amount  of  money,  secure  the  services 
of  a  producing  head.  They  had  almost  closed  with  one 
at  a  salary  of  a  quarter  of  a  million  a  year.  Then  they 
all  began  to  give  their  opinions  of  how  pictures  should 
be  produced.  That  producer  picked  up  his  hat  and 
started  to  leave. 

"But  we  are  not  through  yet,"  said  one  of  the 
bankers. 

"I  am,"  said  the  producer.  "You  couldn't  pay  me 
enough  money  to  stand  the  gaff  of  producing  pictures

We  were  enjoying  an  asterisk  argument 
with  an  unseen  telephone  operator  who  in-

John  D.  Rockefeller's,  swung  wide  and  in  pranced  Boy  Cupid, 
a  cunning  gill  of  mischief  with  guileless  eyes  and  Singer  Midget 
bow  and  arrow. 

"Hello,"  saluted  our  visitor  with  moonshine  infection. 

"  For  cryin'  in  low.    How  are  you,  Cupe?  "    We  shook  hands 
and  placed  the  receiver  on  the  desk. 

"I  feel  like  the  last  rose  of  autumn  and  spring 
has  just  came.  Think  of  my  being  so  low  when

"Scotch  fiber  alles, "  we  murmured.

and  the  perfect  lover  is  made  only  by  a 
sagacious  press-agent. 

There  may  be  an  un-common  conception 
amongst  many  that  the  picture  cavorters 
are  individual  dots  in  an  individual  art.  The 
common  conception  should  be  they  are 
heterogeneous  bodies,  good  mixers  and.  oft- 
times,  good  stayers.  Look  ye  to  your 
newspaper  headlines. 
Boy  Cupid  rants  and  raves  over  the  w.  k.  game  of  heart 
throbs  as  played  in  cinema-land.     Therefore — 

We  raise  the  asbestos  curtain  of  love  and  reveal  to  you  first 
that  rare  cosmopolite  triumvirate:  Rudolph  Valentino,  Pola 
Negri,  and  Charlie  Chaplin. 

Let  the  syncopated  heart  strings  jazz  forth  romantic  bars. 
Pi'osit!    The  play  is  on. 

Charlie  Chaplin  bemoans  he  is  not  a  lad  of  pleasure  but  just 
plain  poisonous.  The  gentle  sex  bows  to  his  art- 
fulness and  the  fire  in  his  eyes.  He  may  be  the 
Pagliacci  of  the  silver  sheet,  but  he  is  an  Adonis  in 
continuity. 

While  footing  it  debonairly  in  Germany,  he  met 
the  smouldering   Pola   Negri.      Flint   struck  spark 
and  evoked  a  blaze.    Pola  came  to  America  to  hunt 
big  game  and  eagles  as  an  avocation,  and  Sharlee 
rushed  her  a  la  the  famous  Yale-Harvard  football 
game   of   whynot.      Newspaper   scribes    flocked    to 
their     Elysium     where     charlotte     russe     reigned 
supreme   and   chicken   was   a  la    comedy  king. 
Throughout    the    world,    enthusiastic    readers 
absorbed    the   story    of    La    Negri    and    her 
Sharlee. 
At    the    peak   of    the    delicious    suspense. 
Sharlee  betook  himself  to  his  studio  and 
his  projection  room,  whilst  Pola  snappni 
ringed   fingers    and  fini    to   an   8.000 
mile  romance  of  hurricane  force  but 
puny  endurance. 
The  world  refused  to  do  its  stuff 
on  its  pivots  until  Sharlee  even- 
tually started  "  The  Gold  Rush  " 
and  Lita  Gray  sky-

La  Negri's  piercing  slate-gray  eyes  espied  the  suave  Rudy, 
appraised  him,  and  sparkled  with  pleasure.  What  cared  she 
for  the  blank  cartridge  report  that  Valentino  and  Vilma  Banky 
were  linked  together  by  casual  gossip  in  a  101  degree  Fahrenheit 
way?    Piff,  nothing.

met  in  Albuquerque  by  the 
tempestuous  Pola.  We  say 
nearly.  La  Negri  was  enticed 
back  to  Los  Angeles  in  time 
to  avert  too  many  newspaper  head- 
lines. 

Hollywood  promptly  fell  into  a 
state  bordering  on  hysteria.    Could

Pola    and    Valentino    go    a

now  a  married  man  with  a  Junior  in  the  family  and  a  second

their  syncopated  heart  string  route,  with  junctions  up  and 
down  the  lines  but  tracks  barring  the  perfect  understanding. 

We  fade-out  and  -in  to  Constance  Talmadge,  reckless 
daughter  of  a  cautious  family.  La  Negri  stoked  her  way 
into  men's  hearts.  Connie  danced,  chided,  and  entranced 
her  reign  there. 

Connie's  fluttering  life  is  one  heart  milestone  after  another. 
She  chucked  Irving  Berlin  to  run  away  and  marry  John 
Pialoglou  five  years  ago  via  the  double  wedding,  yes  with 
Dorothy  Gish  and  James  Rennie  on  the  successful  receiving 
end.  Berlin  was  floored  for  the  count.  He  chirped  up  when 
Connie  lost  interest  in  her  husband  and  a  separation,  followed 
by  a  divorce,  occurred  p.  d.  q.  John  resumed  his  Beau  Brum- 
mel  activities  on  the  street  called  Broadway. 

Connie  betook  herself  West,  where  she  annexed  William 
Collier,  Jr.,  better  known  as  Buster. 
Buster  was  a  laugh  a  second.  They 
had  hilarious  times  together  for 
almost  four  years.  Marriage  was 
around  the  next  week.  Buster  was 
younger  than  Connie,  but  that 
was  a  trivial  detail. 

After  one  of  her  cyclonic  visits 
East,  Irving  Berlin,  with  hopes 
burning  high  again,  saw  Connie  off. 
Farewells  made  him  melancholy. 
"What'll  I  do,  Dutch,  when  you 
are  gone?"  Dutch  is  Connie's 
nickname,  originating  because  of 
her  blue  eyes  and  blonde  hair.  "  By 
jove,  that's  a  great  title  for  a  song, " 
Berlin  caught  himself  saying.  So

As  an  Actor  Frank  Godwin 


Jim 


I  didn't  hear  Anna.      I  was  steeped  in  Histrionic  Art.      Being  tender-hearted,  I 
hated  to  think  of  putting  Jack  Barrymore  and  Lon  Chaney  in  lesser  places 


He 


By  Himself 


EVERY  man  and  woman  harbors,  secretly  or  otherwise, 
the  belief  that  he  or  she  could,  if  given  the  chance,  be  a 
truly  great  actor  or  actress.  But  I — I  am  as  one  set 
apart — one  singled  out  by  the  gods  and  placed  in- 
stantly at  the  top.  No  "breaking  in"  for  me — no  "lean 
years"  about  which  the  stars  write — not  I.  One  day  I  was 
just  a  plain,  plodding  illustrator — the  next  I  was  a  leading 
man  playing  opposite  a  great  star. 

None  of  them  have  anything  on  me — no  sir! — I  know  how 
it  all  feels — except  the  salary — I  never  quite  got  to  that — I 
was  a  plain  plodding  illustrator  again  too  soon. 

But  listen — here's  how  it  happened: 

One  warm,  rainy  Sunday  evening  Hezi  Tate,  Hollywood's 
reddest-headed  director,  called  for  me  at  the  hotel  and  asked 
me  if  I  would  like  to  go  to  a  party. 

"Yes,"  says  I.    "All  right,"  says  he.    "Step  this  way." 

Whereupon  I  was  ushered  or  whisked  (or  whatever  it  is) 
into  his  car  and  we  sallied  forth  into  Hollywood's  seething 
lanes  of  traffic.  After  ten  narrow  escapes  from  Eternity  (my 
nerves  were  all  shot  from  orange  juice  anyhow)  we  stopped 
before  a  house  on  a  hill. 

"Roadhouse?  "  I  asked.  "Jimmy 
Craze's,"  said  Hezi  Tate,  and  we 
went  in.  There  were  a  great  many 
people  there,  but  just  what  they 
were  all  doing,  I'm  not  sure,  but 
they  were  moving  about  a  great 
ileal. 

Hezi  introduced  me  to  as  many 
as  he  could  stop  (Hezi  knows  as 
many  people  as  Howard  Chandler 
Christy).  The  ones  I  remember 
were  Hebe  Daniels,  Hetty  Comp- 
son,  James  Cruze,  Lew  Cody,  and — •

Now  he's  painting  portraits  of  Los  Angeles

gosh!   I   don't   know  how   many 

others.     Anyhow,  very  suddenly 

somebody,    some    lovely    female 

voice  cried,  "Frank  God- 
win!" I  hid  behind  an  over- 
stuffed chair,  but  instantly 

remembered  it  was  just 

a  party  and  there 

wouldn't  be  any  proc- 
ess servers  there,  and 

the  thought  stole  over 

me,    "Somebody    here 

knows  me." 

As  I  slowly  rose  from 

behind  the  chair  I  saw 

from  whence  came  the 

voice  —  and  —  to  show 

my  skill  at  repartee — I — with 

out  an  instant's  hesitation  re 

plied.     "Anna     Q.    Xilsson!" 

And   I    was    right.      You   see 

Anna  used  to  pose  for  me  in 

the  days  when  artists'  models  charged  fifty  cents  an  hour  and 

usually  got  a  quarter,  so  the  artist  would  have  a  quarter  left 

to  eat  with. 

They  do  most  things  quickly  in 
Hollywood.  I  don't  remember  any 
conversation  between  that  meeting 
and  a  few  moments'  later  when  I 
had  been  rushed  to  another  room, 
hurled  into  a  chair  before  a  mirror 
and  was  having  my  hair  curled  by 
Betty  Compson  and  Anna  Q. — My 
hair  is  very  peculiar.  James  Mont- 
gomery Flagg  says  it  is  black  marsh 
grass — so  I  knew  they  couldn't 
make  it  worse.    I  had  been  clean! y

Cruze,  in  his  most   au-

voice,  to  come  out,  have 
a  chest  expansion  con- 
test with  him. 

I  figured  this  was 
something  an  initiate 
had  to  go  through 
with,  and  obeyed.  We  put 
ten  dollars  on  the  outcome 
and  I  won.  Hezi  Tate  was 
the  judge — I  don't  think  he 
was  prejudiced — well,  any- 
how I  had  my  coat  off  and 
my  hair  curled  and  I'm 
pretty  big  and — well,  any- 
how, very  suddenly  Anna 
Q.  said:  "Say!  you're  just 
the  man  for  the  lead  in  my  new  picture."  Well!  I  felt 
that, up  to  the  moment,  my  masculine  pulchritude  had  never 
been  fully  appreciated  and  I  began  looking  for  a  mirror  so 
I  could  enjoy  it  as  well  as  they.  But  Anna  continued, 
"He's  a  tramp." 

I  stopped  looking  for  a  mirror.  "At  any  rate,"  I  said 
to  myself,  "it  is  an  opportunity  for  some  fine  acting.'' 
And  I  began  to  feel  better.  "Come  to  the  studio  to- 
morrow morning,"  Anna  said.  "You'll  have  to  have  a 
test,  you  know." 

A  test!  what  could  that  be?  It  sounded  very  ominous. 
I  went  home  and  dreamed  of  being  tested.  I  was  dropped

Women  will  read  this  anyway,  but  the  man  who  can 

read  it  and  not  call  up  his  barber  and  his  tailor  is 

pretty  far  gone 


ONE  day  Chaplin  produced  "The  Woman  of  Paris." 
The  next  day  there  was  a  new  screen  type.  He  was 
the  sophisticate,  the  gentleman  whose  heart  is  not 
necessarily  made  of  gold  nor  as  big  as  all  outdoors; 
the  gentleman  who  does  not  necessarily  many  the  poor  girl 
nor  who  is  not  unusually  fond  of  his  dear  old  mother;  but  a 
gentleman,  nevertheless,  and  gifted  with  sex  appeal. 

Adolphe  Menjou  was  that  gentleman.  Adolphe  is  still  that 
gentleman,  only  a  little  more  so.  And  Adolphe  in  the  last  two 
years  has  developed  a  feminine  box  olYicc  public  second  to 
none. 

These  facts  being  what  they  ate,  I  went  to  Famous  Flayers 
studio  to  ask  Mr.  Menjou  why  women  so  definitely  liked 
sophisticated  men,  which  in  effect  was  only  another  way  of 
asking  him  to  explain  his  own  popularity. 

He  was  silting  in  the  studio  lunch  room  in  evening  dress. 
lie  had  been  playing  the  Devil  all    morning   for   Mr.   Griffith

and  he  explained  he  thought  it  absolutely  essential  lor  the 
Devil,  if  he  was  to  have  any  trade  at  all,  to  be  sympathetic 
and  charming. 

Adolphe  was,  and  is,  both.  He  sat  there,  quite  the  corrcctest 
thing  these  eyes  have  beheld  in  years.  He  was  What  the 
Well  Dressed  Man  will  Wear. 

His  lunch  was  what  the  intelligent  man  will  eat.    His  epigrams 

were  what  the  well-trained  man  will  say  to  a  lady  whom  he 

desires  to  interest.    He  was  so  perfectly  put  together  it  wouldn't 

have  surprised  me  at  any  moment  to  hear 

him  commence  ticking. 

"Why  do  women  like  sophisticated  men?'' 
I  demanded. 

"What  do  you  mean  by  'wom- 
en'?" countered  Mr.  Menjou. 
"Every  woman  is  different  from 
every  other  woman." 

"I  mean  the  women  who  go 
to  see  your  pictures." 

"Oh!  That's  as  simple  a  mat- 
ter as  good  grooming." 

He  was  perfectly  groomed. 
There  was  not  the  smallest  bulge 
in  the  bosom  of  his  fine  dress  shirt.  There 
was  not  the  faintest  wrinkle  in  the  folds 
of  the  hand-made  French  linen  handker- 
chief that  was  tucked  in  his  cuff.  His 
tine,  white  tie  was  knotted  with  faultless 
The  buttons  of  his  waistcoat  and  his  studs 
were  of  jade  and  diamonds.  His  very  smart  cigarette 
case  was  of  thin- 
nest gold  and 
opened  like  an 
envelope.  His  watch  was 
wafer-thin,  of  platinum, 
edged  with  sapphires 
and  monogrammed  A.  M. 
in  tiny  diamonds. 

"If  we  must  have  a 
discussion  about  it,"  he 
continued,  smiling  from 
the  depths  of  his  charm- 
ing, tired  exes,  "  we  must 
work  from  the  supposi- 
tion that  women,  as  a 
class,  are  superior  to 
men.  They  are  great 
realists  and  know  more 
accurately  than  men 
what  they  want  from 
life. 

"Now,  the  wise  wom- 
an, the  woman  of  the 
world .  is  not  so  inter- 
ested in  being  out  with  a 
man   as  she  is  in  being 


precision. 


"'\X7'ARS  are  won  and  fortunes 
squandered,  but  at  the  end 
of  the  day's  work  the  most  impor- 
tant question  still  remains,  'Who 
are  you  going  to  have  dinner  with 
tonight?'  " 


"TNTENSE  love,  so  real  that  it  is 
fairly  abject  in  its  force,  annoys 
women.  A  woman  is  pleased 
with  the  kiss  of  devotion,  but  the 
kiss  that  really  thrills  her  is  the 
one  that  she  is  quite  sure  doesn't 
mean  love  at  all." 


"TV/TEN  and  women,  both,  go  on 
■*■  "'chasing  romance  until  the 
end  of  their  days.  When  we  get 
too  old  to  chase  it  in  fact,  we  chase 
it  in  fancy.  Every  woman  has  her 
dream  lover,  no  matter  how  many 
or  how  few  her  husbands."

to  be  seen  with  a  man  who 
appears  ordinary  Only  the 
sophisticated  man  realizes  how 
important  is  the  line  of  his 
sliin,  and  the  choice  of  his  col- 
lars and  cravats,  to  the  lady 

whose  interest  be  could  command.  Clothes  make  the  man  as 
much  as  the  woman.  Winn  a  woman  sees  a  man  dressed 
correctly,  she  likes  him.  Not  for  himself,  lor  herself.  She 
wants  Other  women  to  see  her  out  with  such  a  man.  She  knows 
that  will  raise  her  stock  among  her  feminine  friends. 

"Anolher    thing.      'There    is    a    great    deal    said    about    men 
being  interested  in  a  woman  who  is  mysterious.     Well,  women 

are  even  more  interested  in  a 
man  who  is  mysterious.  Most 
men  bore  most  women  to 
tears,   or   matrimony.     The 

sophisticated  man  has  sense 
enough  never  to  tell  all  he 
know-.  " 

He  paused  to  eat  a  piece  of 
pound  cake. 

"  All  real  success  is  founded 
on  failure,"  he  stated.  "The 
intelligent  person  learns  some- 
thing from  each  mistake. 
The  next  time  he  knows  what 
to  avoid.  Success  founded 
on  any  other  basis  is  ephem- 
eral.

The  true  sophisticate 
is  the  person  who  has  ad-

him  comfort,  amusement  and 
delight.  About  the  sophisti- 
cated man  there  is  always 
the  hint  of  mystery  and  of 
disappointments  he  has  grace- 
fully forgotten. " 

"  You  mean  disappoint- 
ments in  women?" 

"Certainly,"  said  Mr. 
Menjou.  "No  other  dis- 
pointments  really  matter  to 
any  man. " 

We  smiled,  at  one  another. 

"Romance."  the  star  said, 
"can  not  last.  Love  can  not 
last.  I  do  not  mean  to  be 
cynical  about  it.  It  seems  to 
me  these  are  only  facts  to  be 
faced.  Though,  understand. 
that  I  am  differentiating  be-

conscious  of  the  thin  ice  upon 
which  I  was  treading,  "that 
all  marriages  are  foredoomed

"Oh,  no."  Mr.  Menjou 
shook  his  head.  His  gestures 
are  as  subtle  off  screen  as  on. 
"No,  indeed.  With  mar-

It  was  three  years  ago  in  "A  Woman  of  Paris"  that  Chaplin  gave  Menjou  his

Close-Ups  <•«<" 


By  Herbert  Howe 


Satire,  Humor  and 
Some  Sense 


Long-Shots 


BEVERLY  HILLS, 
Cal.: 
Everyone's  writing 
the  diary  of  a  modern 
Pepys,  so  here  goes  one  of 
an  old-fashioned  boy: 

Peggy  Hopkins  Joyce 
dropped  in  at  my  igloo  Sun- 
day evening  just  as  the 
church  chimes  were  pealing 
"God  Be  With  You  Ever 
More."  That  is,  she  didn't 
exactly  drop  in;  we  all  but 
had  to  take  the  screen  door 
off  its  hinges  to  get  her  dia- 
mond through.  Peggy's  face 
isn't  her  fortune  alone.  Her 
hands  must  be  worth  about 
a  couple  of  million  each.  I 
don't  mean  the  diamonds 
either.  They  are  beautiful 
pointed  slimmish  hands 
which  she  always  carries 
palms  up  either  because  the 
diamonds  are  too  heavy  to 
turn  over  or  to  facilitate 
further  contributions, 
I  know  not  which. 

Ivan  and  Adela  St.  Johns 
and  Pat  Powers,  the  pro- 
ducer, came  with  her.  Ivan 
got  hooted  by  fans  for  writ- 
ing a  story  about  Peggy 
calling  her  an  old-fashioned 
girl.  But  Peggy  really  is 
very  old-fashioned — as  old- 
fashioned  as  Eve.  George 
Jean  Nathan  says  Peggy 
was  born  a  couple  of  cen- 
turies too  late;  had  she  been 
vouchsafed  the  world  when 
kings  were  kings  she  would 
have  been  a  Pompadour  and 
ruled  a  European  nation. 
But  what  would  Peggy  want 
of  European  nations  today 
—  they're  all  bankrupt. 
She's  clone  very  well  as  it  is 
with  this  nation;  she's  mar- 
ried most  of  it,  and — a  very  pretty  collection  of  engagement 
rings  she  has  to  show  for  her  kindness. 

UPON  twitting  our  Adela  about  her  attempt  at  suicide. 
namely,  her  article  on  "The  One  and  Only  Great  Actress," 
I  was  taunted  for  not  coming  back  with  The  One  and  Only 
Great  Actor,  Adela  pointing  out  that  she  was  courageous 
enough  to  follow  up  my  list  of  the  ten  most  beautiful  women 
with  one  of  the  ten  fairest  boys.  I  parried  weakly  that  there 
would  be  no  suspense  in  an  article  by  me  on  The  One  and  Only 
Great  Actor, as  everyone  would  know  who  it  was,  by  the  title, 
without  reading  the  article. 

"Oh,  I  mean  besides  Ramon  Novarro,"  said  Adela. 
Hut  there  is  only  one  Allah  and  all  the  rest  are  prophets.  1 
argued.  As  a  matter  of  [act  men  are  so  much  brighter  than 
women  that  we  have  several  great  actors  whereas,  according  to 
Adela,  who  in  the  next  incarnation  will  be  the  Archangel 
Gabriel,  there  is  only  one  great  actress.  For,  in  addition  to 
Novarro,  there  is  the  Chaplin  boy  whom  I  consider  very  good; 


When  Sam  (Goldwyn)  read  the  script  after  agreeing 
to  loan  Colman  there  was  hot  spluttering  of  tele- 
phone wires 


Emil  Jannings,  John  Gil- 
bert and  Eric  Yon  Stro- 
heim.  the  terrible  meek. 

I'VE  firmly  resolved  to  re- 
sist all  temptation  of 
naming  the  greatest,  from 
henceforth.  After  seeing 
"The  Big  Parade''  I  sent 
the  Howe  Medal  (not  to  be 
confused  with  the  Valen- 
tino button)  to  John  Gil- 
bert. Then  I  saw  Novarro 
in  "Ben  Hur''  and  ripped 
off  all  the  medals  General 
Pershing  gave  me  for  my 
wonderful  imitation  of  a  sol- 
dier while  oversea.  This 
confusion  could  be  avoided 
very  easily.  I  feel,  as  it  is 
with  circuses.  I  always 
liked  Barnum  and  Bailey's, 
but  I  always  knew  Ring- 
ling's  was  the  greatest  show 
on  earth  because  it  said  so 
on  the  billboards.

the  way.  have  you 
'noticed  that  it  is  now 
Reginald  Denny,  the  Incom- 
parable, according  to  adver- 
tisements? Just  a  little 
while  ago  it  was  the  In- 
comparable Alia  Nazimova. 
Mia  was  forced  into  retire- 
ment by  the  child  labor  law 
when  she  grew  too  young  to 
play  grown-up  parts. 

THE  day  Joseph  Schenck 
moved  into  the  Fickford- 
Fairbanks  studio  I  helped 
him  house-warm  by  accept- 
ing my  invitation  to  lunch 
with  him.  Mary  and  Doug 
are  off  for  Europe,  leaving 
Norma  and  Constance  Tal- 
madge  on  the  lot  to  take 
care  of  the  studio  cat,  mow 
the  lawn  and  keep  the  stages  scrubbed. 

I  don't  know  whether  it  was  a  special  occasion  or  just  movie 
extravagance  but  they  had  chicken,  and  I  ate  up  the  profits  on 
two  Talmadge  features,  being  in  competition  witli  Ernst  Lu- 
bitsch,  who,  being  from  the  Warner  Brothers  studio,  had  not 
lunched  for  a  long  time  and  was  so  affected  by  the  rich  viands 
that  he  signed  up  with  Mr.  Schenck  after  the  third  piece  of  pie. 
(The  lunch  was  then  charged  up  as  overhead  on  his  first 
production.) 

MR.  SCHENCK  told  how  he  landed  Jackie  Coogan  for 
Marcus  Loew  at  a  time  when  every  other  producer  was 
bidding  for  him.  There  was  a  deadlock  in  the  bidding,  each 
magnate  having  offered  Jackie  a  hundred  and  twenty-live 
thousand  dollars  for  each  of  four  pictures,  making  a  total  of 
live  hundred  thousand  for  the  contract.  Mr.  Schenck  didn't 
want  to  out-bid  them  as  he  felt  a  hundred  and  twenty-five 
thousand  dollars  per  picture  was  enough  spending  money  for 
the  kid.    Yet  he  had  to  offer  some  superior  inducement.    What 


Peggy  Hopkins  Joyce  pays  Herb  a  visit.  And  he,  too, 
thinks  she  is  old-fashioned — as  old-fashioned  as  Eve 


be  did  was  offer  five  bun 
dred  thousand  dollars  in  ad- 
vance  on  the  entire  four, 
and  Pa  Coogan.who  likes  to 
count  t  he  eagles  before 
thej  're  hatched, snapped  up 
the  offer.  Thus  the  story  of 
Jackie's  bali  million  dollar 
••  bonus"  that  enabled  him 
to  pa}  <>ii  the  mortgage  on 
his  roller-coaster  and  keep 
his  paw  in  spats  for  another 
year. 

IV.SKED   Ernst   how  he 
prevailed  upon  Sam  Gold- 

w\  n  to  loan  Ronald  Colin. m 
for  itu-  heavy  rdle  in  "  Lady 
Windemere'a  Fan." 

"Oh,  maybe  I  paint  the 
part  a  little  pink  when  1  tell 
Sam," grinned  Ernst,  "and 
maybe  1  forget  to  tell  what 
the  other  characters  do  ex- 
cept walk  in  anil  walk  out." 

Anyhow,  when  Sam  read 
the  script  after  agreeing  to 
loan  Col  man  there  was  hot 
spluttering  of  telephone 
wires. 

"Why  didn't  you  tell  me 
it  was  a  villain  you  want 
him  to  play?"  thundered 
Samuel. 

"Villain?"  repeated  the 
innocent  Ernst  in  a  weak 
voice.  "My  English  is  so 
bad  I  have  difficulty  to  ex- 
plicit, ya." 

There  was  a  conference 
(there  always  is  in  Holly- 
wood when  two  or  more  peo- 
ple get  together  and  refuse 
to  answer  the  telephone). 
Mr.  Goldwyn's  representa- 
tive. Mr.  Lehr,  demanded 
to  know  whether  or  not  the 
role  was  that  of  a  villain. 

"  Villain?  "  queried  Ernst. 
"  I  do  not  know  what  is  villain 
is  villain." 

Mr.  Lehr  pondered  for  a  time  and  then,  with  inspiration, 
"Does  he  make  a  sacrifice?" 

"' Ya,  he  lose  the  girl,"  said  Ernst. 

That  settled  it,  he  evidently  was  not  a  villain,  and  Ronald 
was  loaned  for  the  production  on  condition  that  Ernst  use  a 
credit  line  to  the  effect,  "Ronald  Colman — through  courtesy  of 
Samuel  Goldwyn." 

So  faithful  was  Ernst  in  carrying  out  the  letter  of  the  contract 
that  in  directing  Ronald  he  would  say,  "Mr.  Colman  you  walk 
across  the  room — you  stop  by  table — you  pick  up  book — then 
vou  look  into  the  eves  of  Miss  McAvov,  bv  courtesv  of  Samuel 
Goldwyn." 

WHICH  reminded  me  that  I  received  a  letter  from  a  sten- 
ographer asking  could  I  get  her  a  chob  as  Ronald  Col- 
man's  secretary,  and  if  not  could  I  employ  her  myself,  I  being 
Ronald's  only  rival  in  her  opinion.  She  said  she  thought  I'd 
be  interested  when  I  saw  her  as  she  was  a  combination  of  Alice 
Terry  and  Corinne  Griffith.  I  felt  I'd  be  interested,  all  right, 
but  not  for  work,  and  I  didn't  know  just  how  she'd  take  dicta- 
tion otherwise.  Anyhow,  being  nothing  if  not  fair,  I  passed  the 
letter  on  to  Ronald,  and  thus  the  Colman-Gilbert  controversy 
becomes  the  Colman-Howe. 


"We're    old    pals,"    explained    Doug,    lovingly.      "I 
knocked  his  teeth  out."    "Sure,"  beamed  the  Mex- 
ican affectionately

There  was  a  dragon  dam  c 

in  progress  on  Main  street, 
(  hinatown.  One  China  boy 
danced  inside  i he  dragon's 
head  and  another  celestial 

did  a  slow  motion  Charh  - 
Ion  in  the  tail.  It  was  a 
Very  solemn  rite  until  Doug 

observed   that    the  dragon 

looked  like  Lon   Chai 

A  Chinese  youth  then  ob- 
served thai  Doug  looked 
like  Doug  Fairbanks  and  on 

the  strength  of  the  resem- 
blance took  in  lo  the  Joss 
house,  where  punk  was  burn 
ing  at  the  shrines  and  hors 
d'oeuvre  was  spread  out  for 
Buddha's  refreshment. 

When  we  left  we  gave  the 
old  sacristan  a  couple  of 
dollars  whereupon  he  geni- 
ally hauled  forth  a  box  of 
cigars  from  behind  the  altar 
and  said.  "Have  one."  He 
also  gave  us  each  a  sack  of 
nuts  and  a  bunch  of  fire- 
crackers. 

Having  done  so  well  we 
hurried  across  the  plaza  to 
the  old  Mission  church.  I 
dropped  a  quarter  in  the 
box  and  lit  a  candle.  Doug 
did  likewise  with  an  expect- 
ant look,  but  no  cigars  were 
passed  and  Doug,  disillusioned  as  to  Christianity,  went  out 
with  a  back-to-Buddha  expression  on  his  countenance. 

Just  as  we  were  about  to  re-enter  Doug's  high-powered 
chariot  there  was  a  horrendous  bellow  and  Doug  turned  to 
clasp  a  Mexican  around  the  neck.  The  gentleman  was  of  ten- 
derloin cut  with  huge  gold  tusks  springing  out  of  a  grand 
canyon  grin. 

"We're  old  pals,"  explained  Doug,  lovingly.  "I  knocked  his 
teeth  out." 

"Sure,"  beamed  the  Mexican  affectionately. 
He  had  been  a  member  of  Villa's  army  and  was  engaged  by 
Doug  for  a  light  scene.  Taking  the  matter  seriously  the  doughty 
bandit  proceeded  to  strangle  our  star  in  the  best  Villa  fashion, 
whereupon  Doug  with  a  murmured  apology  knocked  the 
gentleman's  front  teeth  down  his  canyon.  The  gold  teeth  are 
Doug's  Christmas  present  to  the  hero,  who  in  Sonoratown  is 
now  known  as  the  boy  with  the  million  dollar  smile  —  because 
he  smiles  eighteen  karat  all  the  time. 

Such  are  the  little  acts  of  star's  charity  which  you  do  not 
hear  about. 

WE  went  over  to  Charlie  Chaplin's  lot  to  see  the  circus 
scenes  for  the  new  picture.  I'd  heard  that  Charlie  had

RETA  was  very  wor-

of   her   bright   red

jacket. 

She  was  more  worried  than 
she  had  been  when  she 
attempted,    with    disas- 
trous results,  to  use  her 
first  English  word. 

The  word  had  been 
''Hell!"  Final  and  un- 
relenting. It  could  not 
be  disguised. 

But  how  was  Greta  to 
know  that  the  cheerful 
sounding  English  word 
— spoken  brashly  by  a 
shipboard  companion  — 
was  taboo  even  in  po- 
lite Hollywood  poker 
circles? 

How  was  she  to 
know  the  effect  of  her 
word  upon  Ricardo 
Cortez  when  he  gal- 
lantly questioned: 

"And  what  do  you 
think  of  Hollywood? " 

Said  Greta,  tossing 
her  head  in  her  quaint 
foreign  way: 

"Ah,he-ll!"Andthe 
double   "1"  lurched, 
song-like,      up       the 
scale  in  the  manner  of  Swedish- 
born    people.      Like    Anna    Q. 
when  she  is  agitated.  And  Greta 
Nissen. 

Today  Greta  Garbo  was  very 
much  worried  indeed.  Worried 
over    a     problem    that     assumed     monumental     importance. 

"  Vhat  vill  all  the  peoples  do  vhen  Culver  City,  Los  Angeles 
and  Hollyvood  are  all  one  beeg  city?  It  vill  be  verry  nice  to 
have  such  a  beeg  city.  But  vhere  vill  they  all  poot  their  motor 
cars?" 

It  was  an  overwhelming  question. 

Would     double-decked     boulevards 
Perhaps. 

"Ja?    Maybe!    Thanks  God!" 

Greta  Garbo  has  been  in  America  three  months.  Three 
amazing,  Hurried,  bewildering  months.  Haste  to  do  this. 
Haste  to  do  that.  Greta  cannot  understand  the  relentless 
hurry  to  do  things.  In  her  Stockholm — where  there  are 
several  brothers  and  sisters — one  does  not  rush.  One  has 
plenty  of  time.  But,  of  course,  this  is  Am  -riea.  This  is 
Hollywood  of  which  one  has  heard  so  much. 

Hollywood  of  which  returning  travelers  hv  /e  glowed  and 
gloated  over.  Such  line  restaurants  in  whic".  to  eat!  Such 
beeg  ballrooms  in  which  to  dance.  Such  beeg  hotels  in  which 
one  can  live  forever,  almost,  without  stepping  out  once. 
Eating,  sleeping,  dancing.     All  under  one  roof. 

Ja,  they  have  beeg  hotels  in  Europe,  but  the  hotels  there  do 
not  seem  like  American  hotels. 

Hollywood  is  not  quite  as  Greta  expected.  She  had  visioned 
a  combination  Valhalla  and  Paradise.  It  is  lovely,  however, 
and  she  is  glad  she  is  living  in   .   .   .   Santa    Monica.      Santa

The  lovely  Garbo  startled  Hollywood  by 
using  her  only  English  word,  "hell,"  to 
express  all  things.  But  the  Metro  officials 
didn't  reprove  her.  They  had  seen  her  in 
"Torrent"  and  were  too  busy  shouting 
"Halleluiah" 


Greta  Garbo  has 

jumped  from  Sweden 

to  stardom 

in  a  single  film 


Monica  where  the  broad 
blue  Pacific  crashes  a- 
gainst  the  palisades 
like  her  own  northern 
seas  against  the  main- 
land, filling  fjords 
with  salty  water. 

Greta  has  no  desire 
to  join  the  vacuous 
circle  of  teas,  dinners 
and  dances  into  which 
the  favored  newcomer  is 
invited.  Besides,  she  has 
no  time  for  men  ...  or 
love.  This,  by  her  own 
admission. 

Instead    of    a    Holly- 
wood bungalow  she  lives 
at  a  Santa  Monica  hotel  in  a 
little    colony    of    her     fellow 
countrymen  who  consist  of  the 
so-called  "Swedish  invasion." 
There  is  Maurice  Stiller,   the 
director  whose  Swedish-made 
pictures   attracted    the   atten- 
tion of  Louis  B.  Mayer  to  both 
director   and   star.      There    is 
Lars   Hansen,   known   as   the 
John    Barrymore    of    Sweden. 
and  his  wife,  who  was  formerly 
in   pictures  in   Europe.     There   is 
Benjamin   Christianson   and   there 
is   an   art   director   from  her  own 
country,    in    addition    to    several 
others  of  equal  importance. 

A  "little  Sweden"  on  the  banks

Quite  happy  in  their  enjoyment  of  the  new

land. 

"Are  you  not  foreign?  Ja?"  queried  Greta,  her  fascinating 
mouth  laboring  over  the  unfamiliar  words. 

"No.    But  half  English." 

"So-o-o!    Vhat  is  the  other  half?" 

"French  and  Irish  and  Scotch." 

"Scotch?"  quoted  Greta.  "Ja.  I  have  heard  of  Scotch 
here.   It  is  what  you  say  pro  .  .  .  pro  .  .  .  pro-hee-bee-shun!" 

And  now  Greta  is  learning  to  ride  horseback.  She  is  learn- 
ing the  Argentina  tango  so  she  may  dance  it  with  Spanish 
Antonio  Moreno  in  also-Spanish  Senor  Ibanez'  novel.  "The 
Temptress,"  which  she  hopes  will  be  directed  by  Swedish  Mr. 
Maurice  Stiller. 

"Da— da— dum— de— de."  chanted  Fanchon  of  ballet  fame 
as  Greta  and  Tony  dipped  and  swirled  about  the  floor  in  the 
intricacies  of  the  dance. 

"Now  dip!  Now  turn!"  called  Fanchon.  and  Greta  stopped, 
puzzled. 

"1  do  not  know  the  vord  'deep.'     Vill  you  tell  me  please?" 

She  is  a  tall  girl.  Long-limbed  like  so  many  Scandinavian 
women,  but  with  slender  grace  that  is  not  always  seen  in  that 
race.      Blue  exes,  a  lengthy  blonde  bob.  a  fascinating  mouth. 

A  face  that  you  would  remember  long  after  the  body  had 
crumbled  awav. 


Peter  B.  Kyne's  Prayer 


By 
Peter 
B. 
Kyne 


If  hokum  draws  the  heart 
up  into  the  throat,  if  it 
brings  a  joyous  laugh,  or 
a  sympathetic  tear,  it  is  no 
longer  hokum.     It  is  Art 


THIS  morning 
while  crossing 
Twenty- third 
Street   in  a  taxi  the 
driver  made  two  attempts 
to   turn   up   Fifth   Avenue. 
From  two  of  New  York's  finest  he 
received  a  furious  "bawling  out." 
As  he  wended  his  way  over  to  Mad- 
ison Avenue  to  make  his  left  turn 
he  looked  back  at  me  and  said: 

"Honest,  mister,  dese  cops  are 
crazy.  Every  one  o'  dem,  s'help 
me.     Dey'se  crazier'n  hell!" 

I  agreed  with  him  that  they  are — 
crazy  from  trying  to  make  morons 
obey  traffic  regulations!  Somehow, 
the  incident  impelled  me  to  a  con- 
sideration of  the  motion  picture 
industry  and  its  crazy  efforts  to 
make  pictures  for  the  delectation  of 
taxicab  drivers. 

From  time  to  time  in  trade  mag- 
azines I  read  the  old  complaint  that 
pictures  are  what  they  are  because 
the  public  creates  a  demand  for 
that  sort  of  picture;  that  when  the 
public  shows  indubitably  that  it 
desires  better  pictures  the  producers 
will  give  them  better  pictures. 

For  the  twelve  years  I  have  been 
prowling  around  motion  picture 
lots — a  sort  of  cinema  John  The 
Baptist  wandering  in  the  wilder- 
ness— I  have  had  to  listen  to  a 
world  of  this  sort  of  twaddle  from 
men  whom  I  verily  believe  do  not 
possess  sufficient  story  intelligence 
to  pound  sand  in  a  rat-hole.  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 

The  thing  that  is  done  best  in  the 
industry  is  the  gentle  art  of  passing 
the  buck,   and   the   public  is   the 

rightful  receiver  when  some  thin  dull  story,  badly  made,  per- 
forms the  flop  any  intelligent  person  who  gave  the  stor\r  a  read- 
ing knew  it  would  perform.  The  low  order  of  intelligence  of 
picture  patrons  is  blamed  for  the  fizzle. 

This  is  the  most  monumental  buncombe.  The  fact  is  that 
every  time  a  producer  makes  a  picture  he  is  doing  his  best  to 
make  the  best  picture  it  is  possible  for  him  to  make.  Nobody 
deliberately  does  his  worst  when  he  is  creating  something. 
He  just  cannot  help  doing  his  best,  and  when  his  best  is  the 
other  fellow's  idea  of  the  worst,  he  blames  the  other  fellow. 
I  have  always  believed  that  bad  taste  in  pictures  has  its  incep- 
tion in  the  studio. 

Any  creative  artist,  be  his  grade  however  lowly,  who  deliber- 


DEAR  God,  bless  the 
public  and  send  them 
good  pictures.  They're  so  much 
smarter  and  so  much  more  apprecia- 
tive of  good  things  than  the  wretches 
who  decry  their  intelligence.  And 
send  the  motionpicturepeople  editors, 
not  just  people  who  assume  that 
title. 

Good  Lord,  look  down  in  Thy  mercy 
and  send  them  editors  with  editorial 
ability;  then  create  a  confusion  of 
tongues  as  Thou  didst  at  the  Tower  of 
Babel,  so  that  no  moneyed  jackass 
may  tell  the  editorial  editor  how  ter- 
rible he  is,  to  the  end  that  the  picture 
will  be  made  over  the  owner's  protests, 
prove  a  success  and  forever  silence  the 
yawp  of  producer,  director,  star  and 
motion  picture  press  agent. 

Let  there  be  no  more  fiddlers  play- 
ing violins. 


atelj  sets  about  to  write  or  pain)  or  talk  or  .lit 
down  to  what  he  conceives  to  be  a  certain  level  of 
mediocrity  is  worse  t  han  a  fool.  I  [e  is  an  arrogant 
ass.     The  plain  fact  of  the  matter  is  that  such 

things  aren't  done, 
because  nobody  can 
do  them.  The  crea- 
tive instinct  is  a 
distinct  urge  to  the 
best,  not  the  worst. 
It  is  an  urge  that 
may  not  be  stilled. 
When  some  pro- 
ducer turns  out  a 
picture  that  is  of  the 
"  tried  and  true  " 
school  of  architec- 
ture, when  it  is  banal 
and  foolish,  when  it 
represents  life  as  it 
is  not,  when  it  vio- 
lates all  the  canons 
of  intelligence  and 
good  taste,  I  say 
that  producer  is 
turning  out  the 
product  that  HE 
LIKES.  He  thinks 
it's  great  and  be- 
cause he  has  rotten 
bad  taste  and  more 
than  fifty  per  cent 
of  humanity  are  like 
him,  he  appeals  to 
their  intelligence 
unconsciously  and 
not  because  he  is 
deliberately  trying. 
His  plea  that  he 
gives  the  public 
what    it    wants    is 

...  B  pure  swank.     He 

would  have  y  o  u 
believe  he  is  a 
smart  fellow. 
Boobs  always  strive  to  appear  intelligent,  and  to  the  other 
boobs  they  may  appear  intelligent,  but  to  the  intelligent  they 
are  never  in  disguise.  An  intelligent  man  will  conceal  his  igno- 
rance, not  parade  it. 

Do  you  think  that  the  world's  two  greatest  editors — George 
Horace  Lorimer,  of  the  Saturday  Evening  Post,  and  Ray  Long, 
of  the  Hearst  magazines,  waste  their  time  fiddling  around  try- 
ing to  select  manuscripts  that  will  please  their  subscribers?  Not 
so.  They  are  too  smart  for  such  foolishness.  They  select 
stories  that  please  them,  and  the  devil  take  the  public.  If  the 
public  doesn't  like  the  mental  pabulum  they  select  for  it  the 
public  may  go  hang.  Being  intelligent  men  they  select  stories 
and  articles  that  appeal  to  intelligent      [  continued  on  page  102  ]

STUDIO  NEWS  6?  GOSSIP 


The  whole  47  of  Hollywood's  younger  set  threw  a  party 
to  celebrate  Thomasina  Mix's  fourth  birthday,  and  got 
very  spiffed  on  chocolate  cake  horses  and  candy  hay. 
Thomasina  paused  just  long  enough  to  pose  with  her 
dad  and  her  pet  beau,  Bill  Hart,  Jr. 


The  reddest  head  in  all  Hollywood.  That's  Peggy 
Blake's.  Peggy  does  bits  for  First  National,  but  where 
she  really  shines  is  in  Technicolor.  That  process 
washes  most  girls  drab.  But  Peggy,  under  it,  glows  as 
golden  as  her  salary 


"D  TCHARD  DIX  always  has  a  story  to  tell. 
■'-^■This  is  his  latest : 

A  young  stenographer  became  very  much 
annoyed  and  worried  because  her  employer 
kept  staring  at  her  feet.  Continually  his  eyes 
were  glued  to  her  shoes. 

She  confided  her  troubles  to  the  man  across 
the  hall,  who  offered  her  employment  in  his 
establishment.  She  accepted.  After  working 
in  the  new  position  for  a  week,  she  noticed  her 
new  employer  was  just  as  captivated  by  her 
pedal  extremities  as  was  her  other  boss.  Fi- 
nally she  asked  what  caused  the  stare. 

"Well,  my  dear  lady,  you  will  either  have 
lo  stop  wearing  patent  leather  shoes  or  you 
will  have  to  wear  bloomers!" 

TTBERE  is  no  doubt  about  it.  Living  in  an 
-*-  atmosphere  of  stars  and  temperament,  one  is 
bound  to  assume  their  ways.  Take,  for  in- 
stance, Madame  Helene  who  conducts  I  he 
futurist  ically  decorated  cafe  at  the  gate  of 
the  United  Studios. 

Recently  she  opened  a  wayside  inn  and, 
for  the  benefit  of  her  picture  patronage, 
printed  a  neat  little  line  at  the  bottom  of  her 
studio  cafe  menu : 

"Madame  llelenc's  Rose  Villa  is  now  open 
to  her  public. " 

"Her  public"  had  a  sense  of  humor  and  the 
line  disappeared  I  he  next  day, 

However,  Madame  may  be  forgiven.  Any- 
one would  be  who  concocts  such  ambrosial 
date  torlc. 

"^TO  month  is  complete  without  a 

bright  remark  from  Vilma  Banky. 

She  makes  life  in  Hollywood  worth 

living.    Vilma  is  attempting  to  learn 

88 


Americanese  .  .  .  slanguage  .  .  . 
and  the  other  day  at  one  of  Mrs. 
Clarence  Brown's  celebrated  teas, 
Vilma  overheard  a  flapper  comment- 
ing on  her  weariness. 

"I'm  so  darned  tired,  I  feel  like  a 
corpse!"  wailed  the  flapper. 

Vilma  made  a  mental  note. 

The  next  night  she  was  a  member 
of  a  very  high-browed  gathering. 

An  appropriate  time  to  flaunt  her 
newly-acquired  phrase. 

"Oh!"  she  breathed,  as  only 
Vilma  knows  how.  "I'm  so  tired  — 
I  feel  like  a  body!" 

Explanations  were  immediately  in 
order. 

A  \'D  the  other  day  I  was  talking  to  Ray 
■**Goffin,    who   gently    feeds    the    ravenous 

press  with  news  about  the  beautiful  Banky. 
Ray,  of  course,  had  at  his  tongue's  tip  one  of 
Yilma's  famous  remarks. 

She  had  not  been  playing  in  a  picture  for 
some  weeks  ami  was  overjoyed  to  hear  she 
would  soon  wear  the  greasepaint  as  Valentino's 
leading  lady.     She  rushed  to  Ray: 

"I  am  so-o-o  glad  1  am  to  work.  1  will  soon 
have  much  publicity  stuffs   lor  you   now!" 

"CiRST  Inquiring  Extra-:  "What  sort  of  a 
*■  story  is  this  thing  that  Herbert  Hrennon  is 
going  to  make.   .    .   'Beau  lu-ste'?" 

Second  Well-informed  Extra:  "It's  about 
Beau  Brummel's  youngest  brother  ...  a 
wise-cracking  guy  who  used  to  go  around 
spilling   funny   stories.      Finally  some  egg  in 


the  French  court  started  to  call  him  'Beau 
Geste'  which  is  'froggie'  for  jest." 

Whatever  the  title  may  convey  to  the  un- 
initiate,  this  story  of  the  Foreign  Legion  in 
Africa  promises  to  be  one  of  the  biggest 
specials  that  Brennon  has  ever  made. 

/TLARA  BOW  now  takes  her  bow  for  estab- 
V^lishing  a  new  fashion  in  the  colony  and 

her  beau  approves.  But  at  that  we  stop.  It 
really  should  be  "beaux".  .  .  Clara  has  so 
many  doting  swains. 

The  fashion  is  to  have  a  dog  to  match  the 
color  of  your  hair.  And  trotting  after  Clara 
about  the  studio  nowadays  is  a  very  charm- 
ingly mannered  chow  dog  of  auburn  hue.  A 
color  that  blends  admirably  with  Clara's 
glinty  lock>. 

Florence  Yidor.  Virginia  Yalli.  Alma  Rubens 
and  others  of  the  raven-haired  crew  will  have 
to  buy  some  jetty  spaniels,  but  Mary  Carr. 
with  her  snowy  hair,  is  the  only  actress  I  can 
think  of  who  is  privileged  to  carry  a  French 
poodle! 

pATSY  RUTH  MILLER  almost  proved  the 
*■  claim  that  her  parents  made  daily  when, 
after  a  hurried  consultation,  doctors  agreed 
that  Tat  had  the  measles.  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Miller  are  always  contending  that  "Pat  will 
never  grow  up"  and  that  "she  is  iust  a  little 
girl." 

The  Warner  brothers,  too,  were  mightily 
worried  that  their  star  must  needs  be  isolated 
for  a  period  of  weeks  and  delay  the  picture 
that   Pat  had  been  toiling  day  and  night  in. 

But  the  next  day  the  rash  had  disappeared 
and  the  doctors  agreed  it  must  have  been 
hives.  Pat  had  been  indulging  in  the  season's 
first  strawberry  shortcake.

A  BOUT  the  hardest  thing  in  the 
■**" world  to  do  is  to  make  a  come- 
dian smile.  And  Douglas  MacLean 
is  no  exception.  Altho  "Buster" 
Keaton  does  win  the  Benda  mask 
for  the   world's  most   solemn   face. 

Doug,  for  years,  had  been  trying 
to  duplicate  a  very  natural  smile  that 
a  photographer  had  captured.  The 
other  day  by  chance  he  met  the  same 
photographer. 

The  following  day  found  Doug  all 
posed  for  a  picture.  But  the  grin 
wouldn't  come.  It  looked  too  artifi- 
cial. The  photographer  despaired  and 
finally  said: 

"Look  to  your  left,  Mr.  MacLean." 

Doug  looked. 

"Now  look  at  me!" 

Doug  looked  and  chortled — openly. 

The  photographer  was  posed  with 
a  toy  monkey  on  his  head.  A  trick  he 
used  to  tickle  the  kiddies'  humor. 

And  Doug's  next  picture  is  "That's 
My  Baby!" 

TDK  BE  DANIELS'  friends  mourned  when 
-'-'she  left  Hollywood  after  a  pleasant  sojourn 
of  almost  six  months.  But  those  who  wept 
most  were  the  equestrians  who  cantered  with 
Bebe  on  Sunday  mornings. 

Some  of  them  put  their  heads  together — 
Jimmie  Cruze.  Betty  Compson,  his  wife,  and 
Jack  White — and  when  Bebe's  train  arrived 
at  Albuquerque  there  awaited  the  biggest 
brawniest  white  horse  fa  member  of  the  local 


lire  brigade*!  that  the  trio  could  locate  by  wire. 

It  was  saddled  and  on  a  huge  placard  was 
written  "Buckaroo,''  the  name  of  Bebe's 
favorite  horse. 

The  extension  ladders  of  the  town  were  all 
in  use,  so  Bebe  didn't  have  her  canter  after  all. 
But  she's  waiting  to  get  even  with  the  three. 

CHE  was  a  high-priced  vaudeville 
^headliner.  He  was  an  equally 
high-priced  picture  star.  Their 
names  I  won't  mention.  It  wouldn't 
be  nice,  you  know. 

On  her  first  night  at  the  local  per- 
formance, Friend  Husband  was 
present.  He  became  very  incensed 
at  his  wife's  position  on  the  bill. 

"Unless  you  give  my  wife  a  more 
prominent  place  on  the  program  I 
shall  do  something  drastic!"  he 
thundered  with  his  best  silent  drama 
gesture  of  eloquence. 

"Can't  do  it."  This  from  the  ex- 
asperated manager. 

"Then  she  will  not  appear  tomor- 
row night!" 

"Can  I  depend  on  that?" 

OF  course  Henry  Victor  denies  that  he  said 
it,  and  claims  it  occurred  to  a  sight-seeing 
British  friend  of  his.  I  have  my  doubts. 
But  before  I  tell  you  what  it  was,  let  me 
introduce  Henry  Victor,  one  of  England's  most 
popular  leading  men  who  abandoned  British 
stardom  to  pursue  a  shining  spot  in  Holly- 
wood's firmament.  A  countryman  of  the 
illustrious  Colman  and  the  worthy  Brook. 


This  friend  was  on  his  first  visit  to  Holly- 
wood studios  and  was  particularly  impressed 
with  the  immensity  of  the  Universal  Studios 
at  Universal  City.  But,  alas,  the  name  would 
not  stay  with  him. 

And  to  make  matters  worse  he  was  contin- 
ually referring  to  the  studios. 

He  wanted  to  mention  it  again.  The  name 
was  gone.  A  superhuman  effort  to  recall  it — 
and: 

"I  sav  now!  How  far  is  it  to  ...  to  ..  . 
Eternal  City?" 

/^\F  course  everyone  in  Hollywood  knows

to  faro  dealers  and  back  again  to  desert 
prospectors.  And  every  r  le  calls  for  hair — 
long  and  oiled — curling  about  his  ears  and 
neck. 

At  the  opera — at  the  orpheum — at  the  horse 
show — at  cafes — Xoah — in  his  Been-  bob — 
and  Mrs.  Beery  are  seen. 

A  I.L  of  which  is  a  preamble  to  Norma   lal 
■**>madge's  wail,  when,  after  gazing  covet- 
ously at  Connie's  sleek  head — fresh  from  Jim's 
nimble  shears — she  said: 

"I'll  lie  glad  when  'Kiki'  is  over,  so  I  can 
have  my  hair  cut  short!" 

With  sisterly  devotion  Connie  looked  at 
Xorma's  wildly  fuzzed  "Kiki  kut"  and  con- 
soled: 

"  But  it  looks  very  nice  when  you  wear  a 
hat.  dear.  " 

"Oh.  yes  it  does'  Only  yesterday  at  the 
Montmartre  Ona  Brown  mistook  me  for 
Xoah  Been!"

Here's  a  helpful  hint  against  the  next  time  you  don't 
know  where  to  put  things.  Estelle  Clark,  in  fun,  hangs 
musical  instruments  on  her  Charleston  garter.  Not 
to  be  undone  Charles  Ray  uses  his  as  support  for 
comb,  watch,  pen  and  lighter 


That's  a  feather  fan  Esther  Ralston's  got  wound  around 
her  finger.  Most  stars  have  to  encounter  so  much  hot 
hair.  But  Esther  simply  slips  her  fan  in  high.  The 
feather  pinwheel  turns,  an  idle  icy  breeze  results  and 
Esther  keeps  her  cool  head 


T  WONDER  how  Flo  Zeigfeld  can  continue  to 
-*-  glorify  the  American  girl  when  all  of  his 
beauties  have  apparently  heard  the  siren 
yodel  of  the  esteemed  M.  Greeley  and  gone 
to  Hollywood.  The  latest  to  follow  the  Royal 
Road  to  the  films  is  Peggy  Fears. 

Which  reminds  me  of  the  story  about  the 
slightly  inebriated  individual  who  was  pre- 
sented to  Peggy  at  a  cafe  the  other  evening. 

"This  is  Peggy  Fears  ..."  introduced  the 
introducer. 

"Peggy  fears  who?  "  challenged  the  unsteady 
newcomer. 

Another  cinema  newcomer  who  is  basking 
in  a  lion's  share  of  the  limelight  is  pretty 
Pauline  Pane  who,  accompanied  by  a  retinue 
of  servants  and  what  is  reputed  to  be  three 
millions,  is  cutting  a  wide  swath  entertain- 
ment-wise in  the  film  colony.  Her  dinners 
and  gowns  are  attracting  much  comment. 
Pauline  is  English  and  pretty  with  cuddlesome 
ways. 

TJ"E  was  a  recent  addition  to  our 
A  "'"films.  From  Sweden.  One  of 
his  first  purchases  was  a  radio.  But 
it  did  not  work.  So  he  took  it  back 
to  the  shop.    Said  he: 

"What  is  the  charge  for  this  bat- 
tery?" 

"One  and  a  half  volts,"  obliged 
the  dealer. 

"Pardon,  please.  I  do  not  under- 
stand American  exchange.  How 
much  is  that  in  Swedish  money?" 

TT  was  a  dark  and  stormy  night.  The  wind 
■^-whipped  the  sea  into  an  inky  fury.  Huge 
spotlights  swept  the  shoreline  and  paused  to 

rest  on  the  pier  where  a  drenched  woman  lay 
on  the  rough  planks  and  a  water-soaked  man 
desperately  poured  an  amber  lined  tluid  be- 
tween her  lips. 

It  was  a  motion  picture  in  the  making,  to 

40 


be  sure.  But  the  stinging  salt-charged  air 
and  the  beating  waves  and  the  drenched  gar- 
ments on  the  man  and  woman — Seena  Owen 
and  Joseph  Schildkraut — were  very  real.  The 
picture  was  "Shipwrecked." 

Suddenly  from  out  of  the  watching  crowd 
dashed  a  little  man  in  a  very  large  derby  hat. 
He  ran  to  the  emoting  two  and  snatched  the 
glass  of  amber-hued  fluid  from  Schildkraut's 
hand.    And  sniffed  it. 

"Huh!  It's  a  good  thing  for  you  it's  only 
tea!" 

And  the}-  say  we  are  not  enforcing  prohi- 
bition. 

1  I  'HE  Puritan  fathers  would  have  pulled 
-*-  their  long  faces  longer  if  they  could  have 
been  resurrected  for  a  day  and  conducted  to 
the  set  where  Lillian  Gish  is  gelatinizing  the 
famous  "Scarlet  Letter."  Dimpled  Puritan 
maidens  in  demure  bonnets  and  voluminous 
aprons  pulled  cigarettes  of  the  "filthy  weed" 
from  beneath  aprons  and  puffed  happily  be- 
tween scenes.  And  a  few  rolled  hosed  limbs 
were  visible  when  a  Priscilla  or  a  Prudence 
thumped  the  psuedo-Xew  England  turf  with 
feet  Charleston-mad. 

AND  speaking  of  "The  Scarlet  Letter.-' 
■*■  *it  brought  the  re-union  of  two  Griffith 
players  who  had  not  been  together  before  the 
camera  since  iqiS,  when  Griffith  co-starred 
them  in  "The  Great  Love." 

The  initial  screen  appearance  of  these  two 
Griffith  players  was  in  "The  Birth  of  a 
Nation. " 

They  are  Henry  Walthall  of  "  Little  Colonel" 
fame  and  Lillian  Gish. 

In  "The  Scarlet  Letter"  Lillian  plays 
Hester  Prytme  and  Walthall  is  her  husband. 

HOLLYWOOD  is  full  of  Griffith  discoveries 
now  that  Dick  Barthelmess  has  rented  a 
home  on  Whitley  Heights  and  intends  to  make 
it  his  resilience  for  at  least  a  vear  while  he 


makes  a  number  of  pictures.  This  to  the 
delight  of  Bill  Powell,  who  is  one  of  Dick's 
closest  friends.  And  also  to  the  joy  of  Ronald 
Colman  and  Charles  Lane — four  handsome 
Eveless  men  who  are  eyed  with  speculation — 
and  chagrin — by  the  fair  sex. 

And  Charles  Emmett  Mack,  another  Griffith 
protege,  is  also  a  permanent  resident  of  the 
west  coast. 

"How  do  you  like  the  sunshine  and  flowers 
of  California,  Charlie?"  he  was  asked  the 
other  day. 

To  which  Charlie  snorted:  *'  Haven't  seen 
'em  yet!" 

His  latest  rTe  is  "The  Unknown  Soldier" 
and  he  has  been  wallowing  in  the  mud  of  a 
mock  Xo-Man's-Land  for  so  long  that  even 
his  lashes  are  gummed  with  day. 

"T  VTLL  be  glad."  said  one  beautiful 
■*■  member  of  the  so-called  "foreign 
invasion,"  "when  I  am  a  beeg  star 
like  Lillian  Gish.  Then  I  will  not 
need  publicity  and  to  have  peectures 
taken  shaking  hands  with  a  prize 
fighter." 

HE  was  the  dramatic  critic  of  a  large  New 
York  paper.  She  was  Patsy  Ruth  Miller. 
who.  because  she  is  pretty  and  witty  and 
eligible,  is  the  engagement-bait  for  every 
visiting  notable  who  escorts  her  to  a  premiere, 
whether  he  be  married  or  single. 

They  were  approached  by  a  reporter,  who 
thought  he  espied  another  engagement  rumor. 
But  he  was  outwitted  by  her  companion — 
once  a  reporter — who  was  apparently  cog- 
nizant of  Pat's  engagement-strewn  path. 
Said  he: 

"I'm  Herman  J.  Mankiewitz  of  New  York. 
Out  here  to  do  some  stories  for  Metro-Gold- 
wyn-Mayer.  But  neither  Miss  Miller.  Mrs 
Mankiewitz  nor  myself  care  to  have  an  engage- 
ment announced. " 


Bob  Leonard  missed  his  miss,  Gertrude  Olmstead,  to 
whom  he's  engaged  to  be  married.  So  he  traveled 
3,000  miles  to  see  her  just  for  four  days.  Gosh!  what 
devotion.  Remember  when  Bob  was  Mae  Murray's 
husband  and  director?     So  do  we 


Here's  Connie  Talmadge  and  her  new  husband,  Alas- 
tair  Mackintosh,  upon  their  return  to  Hollywood  after 
their  three  day  honeymoon.  Observing  the  fate  of 
others,  Capt.  Mackintosh  never  got  engaged  to  temper-

TT  was  at  the  last  Sixty  Club  dance. 

-M'riscilla  Dean,  on  the  arm  of  one  of  her 
many  aviator  suitors,  glided  by  the  table  at 

which  sat  Ward  Crane,  all  alone. 
She  stopped  and  murmured: 
"Poor  Ward!    You  look  so  lonely!" 
Says    Ward:      "Don't    worry    about    me, 
Priscilla.     Save  your  pity  for  Buster  Collier. " 
fThat  afternoon  Connie  Talmadge,   whom 
Buster  has  been  more  or  less  hopefully  squir- 
ing for  the  last  three  years,  had  quite  suddenly 
and   without   warning    I  ecome    the   bride   of 
Alastair  William  Mackintosh) 

npHE  other  day  I  was  having  lunch  at  the 
*■  studio  with  Ernest  Gillen  and  a  very 
attractive  young  lady  (I  won't  tell  you  her 
name  as  some  day  she  may  be  considered  for 
a  lead  in  a  Glyn  picture  and  I  don't  want  to 
hurt  her  chances). 

At  the  lunch  table  I  had  solved  for  me  one  of 
Hollywood's  most  baffling  problems — namely. 
why  does  Madam  Glyn  look  upon  the  world 
in  general  through  half-closed  eyes? 

"Easy."  says  the  pretty  girl  who  was 
lunching  with  us,  "she  has  developed  her 
famous  squint  from  continually  looking  for  IT. " 

T)  AYMOND  HATTOX  has  at  last  achieved 
^Miis  greatest  ambition — to  play  the  role  of 
a  gentleman  with  sex  appeal. 

For  twelve  years  Ray  has  labored  before 
the  kleigs,  playing  every  type  of  character 
except  one  which  would  allow  him  to  occupy 
the  center  of  the  screen  in  the  role  of  a  great 
lover. 

In  "Behind  the  Front"  he  finally  is  given 
credit  for  having  the  elusive  It  made  famous 
by  Madam  Glyn. 

In  the  scene  Wally  Beery  and  Ray  are  talk- 
ing about  the  girl  who  professes  to  be  in  love 
with  them  both.  Ray,  posing  as  the  martyr, 
says  to  Wally: 

"You  take  her.  She  loves  you.  You're  so 
handsome!" 


"No,"  replies  Wally,  not  to  be  outdone. 
"Sin's  yours.  She  loves  you  because  you've 
got  sex  appeal. " 

SPEAKING  of  actors  scoring  heavily,  re- 
minds us  that  Jack  Holt  actually  did  just 
this  in  the  recent  polo  tournament  at  Del 
Monte,  when  he  played  on  the  victorious 
Mid  wick  team. 

During  the  tournament  a  scare  was  thrown 
into  Holt's  producers  when  word  was  received 
from  Del  Monte  that  the  star  had  been  hit  in 
the  head  by  a  hard-driven  polo  ball. 

It  knocked  him  unconscious  and  left  a 
wound  in  his  scalp,  but  Jack  recovered  suffi- 
ciently to  continue  play  with  his  team. 

fWERHEARD  at  a  Hollywood  party. 
^"How    do    you    like    it    over   at    Warner 
Brothers?"  one  of  the  guests  asked  the  Great 
Lubitsch. 

"Oh,  fine,"  said  Lubitsch,  "only  sometime 
I  hope  when  I  get  half  way  through  a  picture 
and  she  is  going  good,  they  will  forget  to  say 
to  me  'hurry  up.  Mr.  Lubitsch,  ve  have  to  get 
it  in  the  mails  by  Tuesday.'  ' 

IX  "The  Isle  of  Retribution,"  which  James 
Hogan  is  directing  for  F.  B.  O.,  the  script 
called  for  a  skunk. 

Hogan  left  it  up  to  Johnny  Burch.  his  as- 
sistant, who  is  considered  an  expert  with 
animals,  having  served  more  than  a  year's 
apprenticeship  under  Larry  Trimble,  who  can 
do  everything  but  make  an  animal  talk. 

Hogan  felt  quite  safe  about  the  skunk,  as 
did  the  cast,  including  Lillian  Rich  and  Bob 
Frazier.  They  all  had  confidence  in  the 
resourceful  Burch 

So  the  assistant  director  rented  a  deodorized 
skunk. 

But  after  they  got  the  skunk  on  the  set  and 
reached  for  him  in  his  cage  it  was  conclusively 
proven,  to  everyones  dissatisfaction,  that  the 
operation  was  a  dismal  failure. 


The  explosion  of  a  mustard  bomb  couldn't 
have  cleared  the  sta^e  quicker  and  it  was 
hours  before  work  could  be  resumed. 

TTIE  influence  of  motion  pictures  has  been 
•*■  felt  throughout  the  entire  world.  It  has 
reached  even  to  the  Chinaman,  it  would  seem. 

During  the  filming  of  "Eve's  Leaves"  at 
the  De  Mille  studios,  the  restaurant  man  heard 
there  would  be  more  than  200  Chinamen  used 
in  the  picture.  So  he  got  ready  to  feed  them — 
laid  in  a  supply  of  rice,  chop  suey,  chow 
mein,  etc. 

Just  before  lunch  the  first  day  they  worked, 
Tom  Gubbins,  who  supplies  the  Chinese  talent, 
dropped  into  the  commissary  and  the  pro- 
prietor smilingly  informed  Tom  that  he  was 
ready  to  feed  his  Chinks. 

Tom  listened  patiently  and  then  told  the 
restauranter  that  he  had  better  throw  out  all 
the  Chinese  junk  and  stand  by  with  plenty 
of  ham  and  eggs.  Pictures  and  picture  >alar- 
ies,  it  seems,  have  changed  the  Chinese  around 
Hollywood.  They  don't  crave  rice  and  such 
things,  anymore,  but  insist  on  the  best  in 
American  cookery. 

They  leave  the  chop  suey  and  chow  mein 
to  the  tourists,  who  visit  Los  Angeles'  China- 
town. 

"pRIEXDS  of  Reginald  Denny  were  given  a 
*-  tremendous  scare  during  the  fierce  storm 
which  recently  lashed  the  Pacific  coast,  wreck- 
ing wharves  and  piers  and  causing  heavy  loss 
in  shipping  circles. 

Reg  and  a  couple  of  friends  left  San  Diego 
in  his  thirty-four  foot  power  boat,  the  "Bar- 
barine,"  shortly  before  the  gale  hit  the 
Pacific.  They  were  on  a  fishing  trip  and  were 
bound  for  Ensenada,  Mexico. 

Frantic  wires  from  Universal  officials  showed 
Denny  and  his  guests  had  failed  to  make  En- 
senada and  for  several  days  they  were  given 
up  for  lost.

Some 

New- 
Bobs 


Who  said  bobbed  hair 
lacks  variety?  Not  the 
movie  stars.  Merrily  they 
bob  and  bewilder.  Esther 
Ralston's  newest  cut  is 
trimmed  out  underneath, 
slicked  flat  and  softly 
curled 


Pola's  '"orchid  bob""  bloomed  and  faded — 
fortunately.  Now  she  wears  a  loosely  coiled 
rope  of  hair  about  her  distinguished  head  and 
lets  her  bob  grow  much  longer  at  the  sides

False  Faces 

They  both  wore  the  masks  Fame  had  provided. 
Then  Love  began  some  face  lifting 


THERE  are  no  two  ways  about  it,  the  folks  from  East 
Machias,  Ohio,  would  have  described  Lilith  Flame  as 
"outlandish."  What  they  would  have  said  about 
Lilith  Flame's  boudoir  only  the  fallen  angels  can  know. 
And  if  they  could  have  come  in  upon  a  characteristic  pose  in 
Lilith's  life,  when  she  was  ensconced  before  her  triplicate  mir- 
ror, doing  things  to  her  face,  they  would  have  felt  that  they  had 
been  damned  to  gaze  upon  Original  Sin,  unasked  and  certainly 
ashamed.  They  would  have  gone  back  home  to  do  penances 
and  to  shrive  their  souls  alive. 

Lilith  was  the  last  meaning  of  the  word  "ultra."  She  had 
raised  the  art  of  Being  a  Woman  to  the  more  than  nth  degree. 
She  had  made  the  term  "vampire"  obsolete.  Her  face  was  an 
ivory  oval  set  too  daintily  for  flesh  and  blood  belief  upon  a  slim 
column  of  alabaster.     Her  hair  was  as  wicked  as  old  bronze, 


holding  amber  and  absinthe  lights.  Her  eyes  were  slanted. 
Oriental-wise,  thus  proving  that  all  men  are  brothers  or  have 
been  at  one  time. 

She  wore  gowns  that  can  only  be  described  by  the  word 
"inconsiderable"  with  the  addenda  of  their  considerable  cost. 
Her  press  agent  said  of  her,  "  She  is  Lilith-before-Evc.  the  First, 
the  everlasting  Temptress.  She  was  born  on  a  lotus  leaf  in  a 
jade  backwater  of  the  Nile.  She  incarnates  a  Peruvian  orchid, 
the  last  day  of  Pompeii,  the  love  of  the  archangel,  Israfel,  and 
she  is  to  be  seen  in  her  latest  super-special  '  More  Scarlet  Than 
Sin'  at  the  Royal  Imperial  Theater,  October  ninth,"  etc.,  etc. 

Lilith's  boudoir  was  a  fitting  frame  for  such  dark  beauty. 
The  French  windows  were  shrouded  in  black  velvet,  palls 
holding  the  body  of  the  light.  The  walls  were  metallic  gold 
and  hung  with  fantastic  sketches  done  bv  Russians  and  Futur- 


isis  and  matted  in  lacquer  red.  The  rug  was  deep  black  silk 
vclour.  An  ivory  chaise-longue  was  piled  with  the  pelts  of 
furred  animals  and  the  feathers  of  Oriental  birds.  Exotic  cush- 
ions, black  velvet  with  gold  tassels,  languished  upon  the  floor. 
Little  tables  of  perverse  shape  and  decadent  color  were  here  and 
there,  bearing  a  samovar  like  a  distorted  gold  god,  decanters  of 
Venetian  glass,  priceless  Tanagras,  nudes  in  bronze  and  marble 
and  terra-cotta,  secretive  boxes  after  the  Florentines.  A  bowl 
of  orchids  gave  a  sullen,  sulphurous  note  over  the  Italian 
marble  mantel  and  the  innumerable  sons  of  Buddha,  in  cloi- 
sonne  and  gold,  spat  incense  from  nooks  and  crannies. 

The  piece  de  resistance  of  the  room  was  the  dressing  table. 
Which  bore  the  conventional  phalanxes  of  cold  cream  jars, 
vanishing  cream  jars,  mascara  pencils,  rouge  containers,  lip- 
sticks and  lip  salves,  powder  bowls,  tonic  lotions,  astringents 
scented  with  lemon,  almond  and  guava,  skin  bleaches,  tweezers, 
razors,  depilatory  powders,  combs,  nets,  pins,  essences,  attars, 
perfumes,  toilette  waters  and  a  large  ivory  skull  for  the  decent 
interment  of  loose  hairs.  Also  a  pleasant  little  pastille  burner 
in  the  shape  of  a  modern  crematorium. 

It  is  perhaps  a  startling  statement  to  be  made,  here  and  now, 
but  it  must  be  said — Lilith  Flame  was  honest.  By  which  is 
meant  more  than  at  present  meets  the  eye. 

It  is  not  to  say  that  Lilith  was  unnecessarily  honest.  Ex- 
travagantly honest.  She  did  not  slip  off  the  silken,  slumberous, 
seductive  sheath  of  Lilith  Flame  and  announce  to  a  thereby 
disillusioned  world  that  "I  am  NOT  Lilith  Flame  ...  I  am 


.Mildred  P.  Means  from  East  Machias.  Ohio,  born  of  a  father 
who  'traveled'  for  a  rubber  goods  concern  and  a  mother  who 
spent  her  life  in  bearing  eleven  children  of  whom  I  was  the  un- 
wanted sixth.     (Not  even  a  seventh  daughter — not  even). 

She  did,  of  course,  nothing  of  the  kind.  For  what  would  have 
been  the  advantage?  The  public  would  have  been  deprived  of 
their  strongest  fillip,  their  most  subtle  intoxicant.  And  Lilith 
Flame  would  have  been  deprived  of  the  two  thousand  five 
hundred  dollars  that  was  her  weekly  stipend  for  being  .  .  . 
Lilith  Flame.  She  would  have  been  coincidentally  deprived  of 
her  Ifota-Fraschini.  her  town  Packard,  her  Park  Avenue 
apartment,  her  Great  Neck  estate,  the  services  of  her  personal 
maid,  secretary,  chauffeur,  press  agent.Jap  butler,  cook.  French 
laundress  and  Heaven  knows  what  all.  To  any  practical  per- 
son the  inadvisibility  of  such  a  step  will  be  only  too  apparent. 

She  would  be  deprived,  too,  of  Gaillard  De  Koven. 

And  now  we  come  to  the  gist  of  the  matter. 

Lilith  was  in  love.  She  was  ardently,  passionately,  eternally 
and  tragically  in  love.  She  was  also  honestly  in  love.  She  not 
only  loved  Gaillard  De  Koven  as  woman  loves  "but  once."  she 
also  admired  him,  respected  him,  looked  up  to  him,  revered 
him. 

A  bad  situation. 

And  she  wanted,  oh,  so  badly,  to  be  honest  with  him.  When 
he  took  the  words  of  her  under-paid  press-agent  out  of  that 
young  man's  indigenous  pen  and  said  to  her,  "  You  are  Lilith- 
before-Eve,  the  first,  the  eternal  siren,"  she  felt  like  beating  a 
latoo  upon  his  irreproachable  shirt  front,  bke  crying  out  loudly 
raucously,  "No!  No!  I  am  Mildred  P.  Means  of  East  Machias, 
Ohio."  She  felt  like  adding  humbly,  a  suppliant,  "Ah,  Gail- 
lard, love  me  .  .  .  love  me  anyway  .  .  ." 
But  she  knew  that  he  wouldn't. 
Gaillard  was  a  cosmopolite,  a  man-of-the-world, 
to  the  manner  born.  He  was  a  cynic.  A  skeptic. 
A  Neo-something-or-other.  A  modern.  There  was 
finesse  in  everv  inclination  of  his  sleek  head,  in  everv 


Her    mad,     wild     boudoir    was 

where  she  donned  the  false  face. 

But  tonight  she  was  in  love  and 

longing  to  be  simple

Lilith  could  have  been  honest  with  Gaillard  DeKoven  except  for  her  past.     It  was  spotless. 

That  was  the  trouble 


intonation  of  his  exquisitely  modulated  voice  with  its  nice  sug- 
gestion of  the  best  English  accent.  To  him,  Lilith  knew,  a 
woman  was  an  episode,  the  stanza  of  a  poem,  the  cadence  of  a 
song,  the  petal  of  a  rose.  Gaillard  De  Koven  was,  in  a  sense, 
Lilith  over  again,  her  complement,  save  in  the  mere  matter  of 
sex  and  wearing  apparel.  He  was  the  last  son  of  the  old  Dc 
Koven  family,  founders  of  New  York,  of  whom  none  were  left, 
nothing  indeed  save  a  few  ancestral  portraits  staring  at  blind 
storage  walls  Impoverished  and  curious  he  had  turned  to  the 
movies  and  the  movies  had  taken  him  into  their  large,  uphol- 
stered, luxurious  arms  to  the  tune  of  two  thousand  a  week  and 
royalties.  As  a  munificent  exchange  for  this  beggarly  hospi- 
tality he  had  given  them  the  distingue  De  Koven  name  and 
the  princely  shadow  of  the  last  of  the  De  Kovcns  for  the 
omnivorous  appetites  of  their  public. 

Interviewers  wrote  articles  about  him  titled  "The  Real 
Aristocrat,"  "A  Blue  Blood  Comes  to  the  Screen,"  "The  Last 
of  the  De  Kovens  in  'The  Last  of  the  Mohicans,'  "  and  other 
apt  things.  One  enterprising  publication  illustrated  the  inter- 
view with  a  drawing  of  a  family  tree,  rather  cloudy  about  the 
branches,  but  a  tree,  none  the  less. 


Producers  rubbed  their  abdomens  and  said,  "Well,  that's  the 
type  we  need — the  real  stuff.  Old  family.  College  bred.  Dis- 
tinguished presence.  Knows  how  to  wear  evening  clothes  and 
enter  a  room.    A  gentleman.    A  FIND." 

Gaillard  proved  himself  to  be  the  true  aristocrat,  too,  in 
other  ways  than  tonsorially.  For  he  was  also  the  democrat. 
He  didn't  object  a  bit  to  mingling  with  the  sons  of  families  who 
would  never  have  been  received  by  the  De  Kovens.  He  told 
Lilith  that,  "Just  at  first  .  .  .  things  like  that  .  .  .  rather  a 
rub  ..."  But  he  had  come  out  of  it  beautifully.  Suavely 
and  beautifully.  He  said  that  he  "put  it  all  down  to  experi- 
ence." He  got  so  that  he  didn't  mind  a  bit.  "When  in  Thespia 
do  as  the  Thespians  do,"  he  said  rather  vaguely. 

LILITH  was  in  agony.  She  wanted  to  be  honest  with  Gail- 
lard. That  is,  she  didn't  want  to,  bat  she  felt  that  she 
would  have  to  be.  Hideous  visions  of  what  would  happen 
when  he  discovered  the  truth  haunted  her  >leeplcss  nights  and 
made  her  director  ask  her  if  she  was  taking  "proper  care  of 
herself." 

If  she  should  ever  become  his  wife  —  Mrs.     [cont'd  on  pace  96] 


What  Movies  Do  These 


HERE  is  a  contest  that  is 
starting  in  New  York  City 
and  will,  within  a  few 
months,  extend  itself  to 
every  large  metropolitan  city  in  the 
country. 

Nothing  has  ever  been  offered  for 
the  entertainment  of  devotees  of  mo- 
tion picture  theaters  which  rivals  it 

in  scope  or  prize  money  opportunity.  It  is  open  to  everyone, 
from  grandma  to  the  little  folks,  and  many,  many  thousands  of 
dollars  in  cash  prizes  and  other  prizes,  to  be  offered  by  individual 
theaters,  will  go  to  the  ones  who  solv;  these  delightful  puzzles. 

This  will  be  conducted  by  one  of  the  largest  newspapers  in 
your  city  in  co-operation  with  the  motion  picture  theaters. 

It  was  devised  and  prepared  by  the  editorial  staff  of  Photo- 
play, but  will  be  presented 
in  the  newspapers  and  thea- 
ters. 

It  is  amazingly  simple, 
but  it  will  require  that  you 
use  your  memory  and 
knowledge  of  pictures  and 
your  knowledge  of  picture 
plays  and  players. 

Excerpts  from  forty  of 
the  best  motion  pictures  of 
the  last  few  years  will  be 
shown  in  the  theaters,  one  a 
day.  They  will  show  all  the 
famous  stars  in  their  finest 
films,  and  in  action,  with 
typical  excerpts  from  these 
plays,  and  it  will  be  up  to 
you  to  guess  the  name  of  the 
plays  and  the  name  of  the 
star.  In  addition  to  that,  all 
you  will  have  to  do  is  to 
write,  in  fifty  words  or  less. 
your  criticism  of  three  or 
five  of  those  particular  pic- 
tures or  your  idea  of  the 
theme  or  the  moral  of  that 
number  of  them. 

Every  day,  after  the  con-

test  starts  in  your  city,  your  theater 

will  run  the  scenes  from  one  picture 

with  titles  which  furnish  clues.    The 

same  day  a  cartoon  appears  in  your 

newspaper  which  is  a  further  clew. 

The  titles  of  the  films  you  see  in  your 

theater  every  day  for  forty  days  arc 

a  delight  in  themselves,  and  it  will 

furnish  you  a  world  of  fun  to  try  to 

guess  the  pictures.    The  theater  managers,  the  newspapers  and 

the  whole  industry  are  co-operating  to  make  it  one  of  the  most 

amusing  contests  ever  offered. 

It  starts  in  New  York  with  over  a  hundred  theaters  showing 
the  films  every  day  and  the  Xrw  York  Daily  Mirror  running  the 
cartoons  and  the  names  of  every  theater  giving  their  patrons 
the  entertainment,  in  addition  to  their  regular  program,  and 

paying  S10.000   in  cash 
prizes. 

It  has  no  connection 
whatever  with  the  Photo- 
play Magazine  S5.000  cash 
prizes  which  this  magazine 
offers  every  year  to  its 
readers  and  which  starts  in 
i lie  next,  the  June  issue  of 
Photoplay.  You  can  win 
in  one  or  both  contests. 

After  the  contest  starts  in 
New  York  it  will  be  extend- 
ed to  city  after  city,  and 
you  should  ask  your  news- 
paper or  theater  manager 
when  it  will  appear  in  your 
community. 

The  cartoons  which  ap- 
pear in  the  newspapers  are 
drawn  by  McManus,  the 
famous  comic  artist  whose 
work  is  familiar  to  many 
millions  of  people,  and  the 
delightfully  funny  titles  of 
the  films  were  prepared  by 
Robert  Sherwood,  the  fa- 
mous motion  picture  critic, 
and  editor  of  Life.

Theater  managers  have  hastened 

to  arrange  for  the  daily  use  of  the 
film  on  its  entertainment  value  alone, 
not  to  speak  of  the  publicity  the 
newspaper  gives  their  theater,  and 
the  tremendous  interest  of  motion 
picture  fans  who  will  try  to  get  the 
correct  answers  and  win  the  big 
cash  prizes  which  are  being  offered. 

In  addition,  it  will  stimulate  a  more  intense  interest  in 
pictures,  their  stories,  technical  qualities  and  in  the  stars 
shown. 

In  the  end  it  will  furnish  for  the  motion  picture  industry 
the  most  complete  ballot  of  public  opinion  of  pictures  ever 
assembled. 

It  will  express,  for  the  first  time,  a  great  symposium 
of  public  criticism.  Hereto- 
fore the  box  office  has  been 
the  producers'  only  method 
of  judging  public  taste. 
Here  is  an  opportunity  for 
them  to  profit  by  the  real 
voice  of  the  people  they  are 
attempting  to  serve. 

If  you  live  in  New  York, 
or  vicinity,  buy  a  copy  of 
the  Daily  Mirror,  that  bril- 
liant tabloid  paper  that  has 
such  a  tremendous  circula-

Join  in  the  contest  at  your  first

manager  when  you  will  get  a  chance 
at  it.  There  are  scores  of  prizes  in 
addition  to  the  big  ones,  and  you

of  Photoplay,  and  have  kept  in  touch 
with  the  march  of  picture  events. 

Everyone  is  eligible  for  this  contest,  except  members  of  the 
staff  of  the  theaters,  the  newspapers  concerned,  and  Photoplay

THE    NATIONAL    GUIDE    TO     MOTION     PICTURES 


THE  BAT— United  Artists 

EEEEEE!  "The  Rat!"  It's  thrilling.  It's  chilling.  It's 
a  scream  of  laughter  and  spookiness.  Your  spine  quivers 
and  your  hair  stiffens  every  moment. 

Perfectly  written,  originally  by  Mary  Roberts  Rinehart 
and  Avery  Hop  wood  and  scenarized  by  Julien  Josephson, 
this  Roland  West  production  is  simply  superb.  Each  detail 
dovetails  properly  into  every  other.  Lights  flash,  guns  are 
fired,  secret  panels  swing,  and  the  laughter  and  the  creeps 
alternate  till  you  chew  your  fingers  in  excitement  and  delight. 

The  involved  plot  is  centered  around  a  criminal  with  the 
bat  as  his  trademark  and  his  operations  in  a  Long  Island 
household.  Beyond  that  we  refuse  to  tell.  But  when  "The 
Bat"  flies  in  your  neighborhood,  don't  fail  to  see  it  and  take 
the  youngsters,  if  it's  not  too  late  at  night. 


LA  BOHEME—Metro-Goldwyn 

KING  VIDOR'S  version  of  Henry  Murgcr's  short  stories 
of  the  Latin  Quarter  of  Paris  from  which  the  Puccini 
opera  was  suggested,  is  a  picture  of  striking  beauty,  wonder- 
fully directed  by  Vidor  and  acted  with  much  skill  by  John 
Gilbert.  The  theme  is  simple,  as  delicate  as  the  tension  of  a 
lyre,  and  tells  the  story  of  Mi  mi,  a  seamstress,  and  Rodolphe, 
a  struggling  playwright,  against  a  colorful  and  romantic 
background. 

A  note  of  tender  pathos  pervades  the  entire  piece  and  the 
ultimate  tragedy  is  loo  heartrending  for  words.  Lillian 
dish  is  seen  in  another  of  her  wistfully  appealing  hut  familiar 
characterizations.  Renee  Adorce,  Karl  Dane  and  George 
Ilasscll  are  included  in  the  cast. 

This  production  is  a  triumph  for  Metro-Goldwyn,  for 
Vidor,  and  for  John  Gilbert,  and  will  prove  a  real  joy.

A  Review  of  the  7\[eii>  Pictures 


THE  BLACK  PIRATE— United  Artists 

A  ROISTERING  tale  of  the  Spanish  Main  is  "The  Black 
Pirate,"  and  I  pity  the  man  whom  it  does  not  waft  back 
to  the  days  of  his  boyhood,  when  he  dreamed  of  himself 
climbing  aboard  the  pirate  craft  and  cleaning  the  seas  of  the 
bloodthirsty  buccaneers.  "Yo,  ho.  ho — fifteen  men  on  a 
dead  man's  chest."  Into  it  the  ever-youthful  Doug  has 
injected  the  very  spirit  of  boyhood  romance  and  adventure, 
and  it  would  be  a  hard-hearted  parent, indeed,  who  wouldnot 
willingly  advance  the  price  of  the  tickets  for  every  youngster 
in  the  family.  Incidentally,  they  should  include  themselves 
in  the  entertainment  and  adventure. 

The  entire  picture  is  done  in  colors,  not  the  usual  colored 
photography,  but  soft  tints  that  delight  the  eye  and  empha- 
size rather  than  detract  from  the  story  value.  Nothing  has 
ever  been  done  in  colors  on  the  screen  that  approaches  it  in 
beauty  and  uniformity.  The  year  of  experimentation  and 
study  that  has  been  put  into  this  phase  oi  the  production 
has  been  well  repaid.  In  it.  Mr.  Fairbanks,  for  the  first 
time  in  motion  pictures,  has  secured  the  beautiful  effect 
of  mural  paintings. 

The  plot?  What  do  you  care  about  that?  It's  all  about 
pirates,  with  Doug,  single-handed,  capturing  a  huge  galleon 
to  prove  he's  a  good  pirate  himself.    Imagine  that! 

Millie  Dove  is  the  beauty  in  distress,  captured  by  the 
toughest  pirate  that  ever  slit  a  throat  or  scuttled  a  ship. 
Donald  Crisp  runs  away  with  (he  acting  honors,  and  it  is  a 
delight  to  watch  the  way  in  which  Doug  gives  way  to  him 
on  the  screen  and  lets  the  audience  enjoy  Crisp's  characteriza- 
tion of  an  old  Scotch  pirate.     Go  see  "The  Black  Pirate."

THE  GREATER  GLORY— First  National 

AS  opposite  as  the  pages  on  which  their  reviews  are 
printed,  is  the  appeal  of  this  splendid  picture  to  that  of 
'The  Black  Pirate."  No  bounding  tale  of  adventure  is  this. 
Just  the  story  of  an  Austrian  family  before  and  after  the 
war,  a  story  that,  while  it  makes  no  pretense  of  being  a 
preachment  against  war,  carries  a  message  that  will  be 
carried  away  and  pondered  by  all  who  see  it. 

It  is  the  work  of  June  Mathis,  that  brilliant  woman  who 
had  so  much  to  do  with  the  success  of  "The  Four  Horse- 
men," and  it  is  an  artistic  monument  to  her  ability.  The 
action  takes  place  entirely  in  the  city  of  Vienna,  and  was 
adapted  from  Edith  O'Shaughnessy's  novel,  "The  Viennese 
Medley."  Xo  battle  scenes  are  dragged  in  for  the  sake  of 
box  office  effect.  Xo  insincere  attempt  is  made  for  the  so- 
called  "punch"  or  "thrill."  It  is  one  of  the  most  sincerely 
produced  pictures  ever  presented  to  the  American  public, 
one  of  those  rare  pictures  that  you  can  stand  seeing  twice. 

Briefly,  it  is  the  story  of  an  aunt  and  her  family  of  nieces 
and  nephews,  broken  and  impoverished  by  the  w:ar,  and 
their  struggles  for  a  bare  existence,  and  through  it  run  two 
love  stories  of  surpassing  sweetness.  Never  has  a  picture  of 
foreign  locale  been  made  with  more  faithful  atmospheric 
effect.  It  is  Vienna  itself,  and  never  for  one  second  is 
the  illusion  lost. 

The  picture  is  significant,  too,  in  that  it  brings  May 
Allison  back  to  the  screen,  after  a  few  years  of  absence,  and 
her  work  is  as  sincere  and  lovely  as  the  picture  itself.  Anna 
Q.  Nilsson  and  Conway  Tearle  give  the  best  performances 
of  their  picture  careers.   You  should  not  miss  this  picture. 


LET'S  GET  MARRIED— Paramount 

RICHARD  1)1  X  and  Gregory  La  Cava  should  never  be 
separated.    "Womanhandled"  proved  that  they  had  a 

delightful  sense  of  humor,  and  in  lliis  latest  offering  they 
have  again  presented  the  story  with  a  gaj  humor.  lt>  tun  i> 
airy  and  a  trille  flighty.  The  picture  starts  out  with  an 
unusual  amount  of  wit  and  action  which  keeps  its  pace  right 
to  the  finish,  the  laughs  coming  fast  and  furious. 

It's  all  about  a  wealthy  man's  son  who  is  continually  in 
hot  water.  He  falls  in  love  with  a  sweet,  unsophisticated 
girl,  and  from  then  on  he  does  everything  to  try  and  make  a 
hit  with  her.  Of  course,  as  you  might  have  suspected,  the 
girl  is  Lois  Wilson. 

Don't  miss  it — it's  a  sure  cure  for  the  blues  and  the  kiddies 
will  enjoy  it  too. 


TRAMP,  TRAMP,  TRAMP— First  National 

THIS  picture  takes  Harry  Langdon's  doleful  face  and 
pathetic  figure  out  of  the  two-reel  class  and  into  the 
Chaplin  and  Lloyd  screen  dimensions.  Xot  that  he  equals 
their  standing  yet,  but  he  is  a  worthy  addition  to  a  group  of 
comedy  makers  of  which  we  have  entirely  too  few.  Langdon 
has  graduated  and  this  picture  is  his  diploma.  "Tramp, 
Tramp,  Tramp"  will  introduce  him  to  a  wider  public,  and 
the  public  which  followed  his  two-reel  career  will  be  doubled 
or  trebled.   The  boy's  good. 

Harry  plays  a  kid  hobo,  who  enters  himself  in  a  trans- 
continental hiking  contest.  He's  just  got  to  win  the  race  to 
win  the  gal,  who  is  his  inspiration,  and  Harry  believes  that 
all's  fair  in  love  and  war,  and  he's  in  both.  He  isn't  exactly 
on  the  level  in  the  race,  but  you  should  worry  about  his 
sporting  morals.

THE  TORRENT—  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 

MONTE  BELL  stands  well  in  the  foreground  of  those 
directors  who  can  take  a  simple  story  and  so  fill  it  with 
true  touches  that  the  characters  emerge  real  human  beings 
and  the  resulting  film  becomes  a  small  masterpiece. 

Such  work  has  he  created  in  "Torrent,"  and  for  fans  who 
are  slightly  grown-up  this  picture  will  be  a  vivid  delight. 
Greta  Garbo,  the  new  Swedish  importation,  is  very  lovely. 


THE  UNTAMED  LADY— Paramount 

THIS  is  an  awful  disappointment.  Story  by  Fannie 
Hurst,  direction  by  Frank  Tuttle  and  starred  by  Gloria 
Swanson,  and  the  whole  a  total  washout!  The  story  simply 
never  gets  anywhere.  It  concerns  one  of  those  untamed 
darlings,  a  spoiled  baby  first,  a  spoiled  debutante  later,  who 
breaks  numberless  hearts  by  dropping  twenty-carat  engage- 
ment rings  on  football  gridirons. 


THE  DEVIL'S  CIRCUS— Metro-Goldwyn 

THEY  must  have  told  Benjamin  Christianson.  the 
Swedish  director,  that  hokum  was  king.  As  a  result 
''The  Devil's  Circus,"  his  first  American  made  picture,  has 
everything  in  it  from  a  trick  dog  to  the  crippled  girl  who 
walks.  The  picture  has  strength  and  the  power  of  several 
scenes — the  night  march  of  the  caravan,  the  girl's  defilement 
and  her  fall  from  the  trapeze — lift  it  above  the  mediocre. 


THE  COHENS  AND  THE  KELLY S— Universal 

SEE  this  by  all  means.  If  the  movie-going  public  of  New 
York  City  is  any  criterion  as  to  the  comedy  value  of  a 
picture,  then  this  will  be  a  wow  throughout  the  entire 
country.  They  went  wild  over  it — and  how  they  howled  and 
screeched!  The  plot  is  filled  with  all  the  old  hokum  about 
the  Jews  and  the  Irish  but.  nevertheless,  it  brings  out  the 
loud  guffaws — even  from  the  blase. 


FASCINATING  YOUTH— Paramount 

HERE  are  the  sixteen  graduates  of  Paramount's  school 
of  acting  showing  how  well  they've  studied  their  Lessons. 
Byron  Morgan  wrote  them  a  story  {hat's  not  so  very  much- — 
all  about  a  kid  who  runs  his  father's  summer  hotel  to  winter 
success.  Sam  Wood  provided  direction  that  saved  it.  The 
sixteen  are  peppy,  gay  and  youthful,  and  their  spirit  gets 
across.     It's  good  entertainment.

OH!  WHAT  A  NURSE— Warner  Bros. 

SYD  CHAPLIN  should  go  back  to  trousers.  Enough  is 
enough.  His  latest  contribution  to  film  humor  is  of  the 
slapstick  variety,  with  much  horse  play  and  low  comedy. 
Most  of  the  gags  are  screamingly  funny,  but  after  "Charley's 
Aunt."  Syd  in  petticoats  again  gets  to  be  an  old  story,  even 
though  he  does  it  remarkably  well.  Splendid  entertainment, 
especially  for  the  youngsters. 


THE  NEW  KLONDIKE— Paramount 

YOl  have  ill  heard  about  the  real  estate  boom  in  Florida 
hut  wait  until  you  see  what  actually  happens.  Ring 
Lardner,  who  knows  his  laughs,  was  commissioned  to  write 
ihi-  story  for  Thomas  Meighan,  with  the  result  that  it  is  one 
of  the  most  interesting  of  Meighan's  vehicles.  Some  ven 
amusing  situations  arc  developed,  and  there's  a  young 
fellow,  Paul  fCellv,  whom  you'll  like. 


THE  DANCER  OF  PARIS    First  National 

EVERYONE  became  excited  when  the)  heard  that 
Michael  Arlen  had  written  an  original  story  for  the 
screen.  Hut  great  expectations  were  not  realized  in  spiteoi 
all  the  nudity,  jazz,  bachelor  apartment  parties  and  love 
scenes.    Dorothy  Mackaill  does  a^  well  as  could  be  ex 

peeled  in  a  very  cold  role.     Conway  Tearle  Is  the  male  at 

traction.    Not  for  children. 


SEA  HORSES— Paramount 

THE  story  gets  off  at  a  slow  start  and  continues  its  snail- 
like pace  until  the  fourth  reel.  Then  we  have  fights, 
a  typhoon,  a  storm  at  sea  and  what-not.  Florence  Yidor  is 
the  young  lady  who  goes  in  search  of  her  husband,  who  is 
wasting  his  life  on  a  tropical  isle.  Into  her  life  comes  a  brave 
he-man.  Jack  Holt.  Not  as  snappy  as  the  usual  Alan  Dwan 
production. 


THE  JOHNSTOWN  FLOOD— Fox 

A  THRILLING  melodrama  centered  around  the  flood  of 
1889.  It  is  apparent  that  the  flood  is  the  most  impor- 
tant sequence  in  this  picture,  and  around  it  the  story  was 
written.  Besides  the  thrilling  flood  scene,  this  serves  to 
introduce  a  very  charming  young  lady,  Janet  Gaynor,  who 
is  easily  recognized  as  one  of  the  season's  best  "  finds."  The 
remainder  of  the  cast  is  excellent.    It's  worth-while. 


THE  GIRL  FROM  MONTMARTRE— First  National 

NEVER  has  Barbara  La  Marr  looked  more  beautiful 
than  in  this,  her  last  production  before  her  death.  This 
is  by  no  means  the  best  of  Barbara's  work,  but  her  beauty 
alone  will  suffice  the  most  critical  fan.  The  story  is  in- 
coherent and  every  now  and  then  wanders  off  for  itself.  It's 
all  about  a  masked  dancer.  If  it  is  only  to  gaze  on  the  fair 
loveliness  of  the  gorgeous  Barbara  once  again,  see  it. 


MISS  BREWSTER'S  MILLIONS— Paramount 

BEBE  DANIELS  was  a  graduate  from  the  comedy  ranks 
and  this  picture  is  reminiscent  of  the  early  days  spent  in 
serving  her  apprenticeship.  The  only  missile  missing  is  the 
famous  custard  pie.  All  the  old  gags  used  in  two-reelers  are 
found  here,  even  to  the  old  familiar  chase  through  the  hotel 
lobby  by  the  cops.    Will  go  over  big  with  the  children.

ORIS,"  said  May  Allison,  "I  know  a  place  down  on 
I  Fifth  Avenue  where  we  can  get  some  nice  little  frocks 
at  wholesale.  Let's  go  down  there  and  pick  up  a  few." 
"Sounds  good  to  me,"  said  Doris  Kenyon.  "Let's  go." 
Next  morning  after  the  last  scenes  of  "Men  of  Steel"  were  shot, 
the  two  beautiful  blonde  buddies  (rivals  for  the  affections  of  Milton 
Sills  in  the  picture)  were  trying  on  dresses  in  the  models'  dressing 
room  of  the  wholesale  place.  In  the  tiny  room  four  mannequins 
were  shifting  from  one  frock  to  another  as  the  head  salesman  called 
out  the  numbers  of  the  designs  and  the  girls  passed  out  into  the 
showroom  and  paraded  in  their  best  mannequin  style.  Grouped 
around  were  a  dozen  or  more  out  of  town  buyers,  order  books  and 
pencils  in  hand.

"Four  twenty-nine  and  six  seventy-four,"  yelled  the  salesman 
through  the  door. 

"Hey,  you  two  have  them  models  on,"  said  one  of  the  girls.  "Dare 
you  to  go  out  and  model  them  for  the  customers." 

"Game?"  said  May.  "Why  not?"  said  Doris. 

So  the  two  strutted  out,  and  up  and  down  the  floor,  hands  on 
hips,  and  swinging  slowly  around  so  that  the  customers  could  get 
every  detail  of  the  dresses. 

Inside  the  dressing  room  the  girls  were  giggling  their  heads  off 
at  the  idea  of  two  high  salaried  movie  stars  pinch  hitting  for  them. 

Doris  and  May  made  the  biggest  sales  of  the  day.  But  they  were 
terribly  disappointed.  Not  one  buyer  tried  to  date  them  up  for 
dinner. 


Boy  Blue 


Kind  hearts  mean  more  than  coronets 

and  a  level  head  more  than  genius. 

Monte  Blue  proves  it 


CAME  the  dawn,  but  to  us  who  reposed  blissfully  in  the 
arms  of  Morpheus  'twas  a  mere  rumor. 
Came  low  noon.     And  so.  up  with  the  alarm  in  time 
to  dash  pel]  null  to  the  Algonquin  ami 
keep  a  luncheon  engagement  at  high  noon  with 
Monte  Blue,  the  lad  with  the  "four  out  of  five 
have   it"   smile,    the  six   feet    three  of   animated 
framework,  and  the  breezy  good  humor  of  him 
who  ean  afford   to  disdain  dyspepsia   advertise- 
ments. 

As  a  rule,  be  it  whispered,  a  flicker  star  is  a 
mere  mortal  who  draws  his  salary  via  check  and 
never  remembers  if  it  is  hawf  pawst  two  or  haaf 
p.i.ist  two.  Like  Heinz'  culinary  repertoire,  the 
picture  world  has  its  fifty-seven  varieties,  ranging 
from  beans  to  mincemeat  to  applesauce. 

Big  Boy  Blue,  however,  is  old  fashioned.  He- 
talks  honestly  about  his  past,  laughs  at  his  hard- 
ships, and  says  nothing  about  a  person  unless  it 
he  something  nice.  Furthermore,  he  treats  all 
women  chivalrously,  bank  account  and  position 
to  the  contrary. 

Why,  Monte  actually  has  the  temerity 
to  admit  he  dug  his  way  from  obscurity 
to  electric  lights.  On  third  thought,  per- 
haps this  is  because  he  is  Irish  on  his 
mother's  side,  and  French  and  Cherokee 
jn  his  father's. 

Monte  proved  with  nary  a  contradic- 
tion his  old-fashionedness  by  meeting  us 
an  time.  Not  having  seen  him  for  years, 
we  shot  him  one  gimlet  look,  the  kind 
recruited  by  every  adroit  movie  heavy, 
and  realized  gladly  he  was  the  same  old 
Monte  of  the  infectious  smile  and  warm- 
ing friendliness.  He  may  have  a  starring 
contract,  a  beautiful  wife,  a  bank  account 
large  enough  to  make  a  gang  of  wolves  un- 
happy, but  he's  the  same  old  chap  of  pre- 
affluent  days. 

GOSH,  you  haven't  changed  a  bit," 
we  volunteered.  "Not  even  mar- 
ried life  has  done  it." 

He  stared  agog.    "Why  should  it?" 

Of  course  we  had  no  sprightly  retort  to 
this.  We  thought  of  a  darb  the  next  day 
but,  hie  ho,  the  sun  had  done  a  fade-out 
and  an  iris-in  so  'twas  too  late  to  elucidate. 

Without  more  ado,  we  trailed  a  waiter 
to  a  corner  table  for  two  and  dispersed 
numerous  packages  to  his  best  inconveni- 
ence and  that  of  the  sustenance  he  pro- 
ceeded to  usher  in. 

"Monte,  tell  me  about  your  wife.  Is 
she  sweet?" 

"  Who,  Jimmy?" 

"  Xo,  your  wife." 

"But  Jimmy  is  my  wife.  Her  stage 
name  was  Tova  Danor,  but  her  real  name 
is  Tova  Janson,  so  I  call  her  Jimmy.  She's 
a  darling,"  and  his  eyes  out-confection- 
aried  anything  in  a  bakery  window.  "I 
met  Jimmy  while  working  with  Mae 
Murray  in  'Peacock  Alley.'  "

Hollywood's  Real  Hermit 


This  is  the 
first  interview 
Harrison  Ford 

has  had  in 
years 


Which  is  his 

own  fault 

exclusively. 

He  treasures 

privacy 


Remote  .   .   .   aloof  .   .   .   living  in  a  little  world  comprised  of  his  mother,  his  sister,  his  books  and  a  few  intimate 
friends,  Harrison  Ford  is  the  true  Hermit  of  Hollywood,  if  not  of  motion  pictures 


A  MAN  lives  on  a  hilltop  in  Hollywood 
who  is  called  Peter.    His  hair  is  snowy 
and   long.      His   feet   are   bare   and 
ruddy.    He  carries  a  gnarled  stick — a 
distaff,  for  the  story's  sake.    His  companions  are  a  mild-man- 
nered white  dog — sometimes  quite  clean — and  three  donkeys. 
About  their  mild  manners,  I  cannot  vouch. 

Occasionally  he  sallies  forth  in  a  one-mule  shay  labelled 
'Tlant  Food."     Origin  of  name  unknown. 

More  often  he  is  to  be  found  where  Hollywood's  scandal  is 
brewed.  At  Cahuenga  and  Hollywood  Boulevard.  At  the 
sending  station  of  the  grapevine  telegraph,  consorting  with  the 
crowds — passing  a  bandying  word  to  his  acquaintances — who 
arc  legion. 

He  is  called  Peter  the  Hermit. 

In  his  hilltop  tent  with  the  crazy  stovepipe  belching  a  frayed 
strand  of  smoke,  he  gives  occult  and  spiritual  advice  to  the  care-

worn,  love-worn  and  movie-worn  pilgrims  who 
wend  their  ways  to  his  hermitage. 

Peter  the  Hermit  of  Hollywood.  But,  really, 

he  is  not  the  Hermit  of  Hollywood. 

The  real  Hermit  of  Hollywood  is  Harrison  Ford.    Not  only 

the  Hermit  of  Hollywood,  but  of  the  entire  motion  picture 

world.    Harrison  Ford  is  entitled  to  the  name  of  Recluse  of  the 

Reels. 

You  never  see  him  lunching  at  the  Montmartre  of  a  Saturday 
noon. 

You  never  see  him  coasting  down  Hollywood  Boulevard, 
hanging  halfway  out  of  his  roadster  in  the  manner  of  affluent 
chauffeurs  and  picture  personages  who  want  to  be  observed. 

You  never  see  him  at  the  premiere  of  the  latest  spectacle, 
dodging  spotlights  in  the  manner  bridesmaids  do  the  bridal 
bouquet  (not  at  all) !

'HE'S  quite  the  newest  of  the  stars,  is  this  pretty  Olive  Borden.  She  likes  to  look  like  a 
vamp,  but  she's  really  just  a  kid  and  a  little,  cute  one  at  that.  Across  the  page  is  her 

story. 


Chicken— Southern  Style 

Referring  to  Olive  Borden  and  to  the  meals  her  mother  cooks.  By 

Both  arc  considered  nearly  perfect  in  Hollywood  Madeline  Mahlon 


ALL  young  picture  actresses  should  be 
They  should  have  Long  dusky  h.ur.    A 
curl,    darkly,    like    the   curve   of   an 
archer's  bow. 

They  should  have  brown  eyes,  of  course. 
But,  essentially,  they  should  have  bodies 
molded  as  softly  as  an  exquisite  figurine. 

Like  Olive  Borden's. 

Can  you  imagine  a  girl  who  actually  looks 
that   way?     And   who  is  not   the  least    per- 
turbed about  it.   Who  is  quite  as  unaffected 
as  an  April  day?   Although  some  April  days 
do  seem  a   bit   vain   as   they   half-timidly 
thrust  their  opening  blossoms  upon  one. 

On  second  thought  one  can't  speak,  of 
April  days  and  Olive  Borden  in  the  same 
breath.    She  is  more  like  an  August  day 
in  Tahiti.    Or  at  least  she  appeared  that 
way.     She  was   wrapped,   when  I  met 
her,  like  a  gaily-foiled  south  sea  doll, 
in  a  piece  of  bright  calico,  and  her  tiny 
bare  feet   were  soled  in  grass  sandals. 
Frederick  O'Brien,  author  of  "White 
Shadows  of  the  South  Seas.''  would 
have  approved. 

And.     too,    all    promising    young 
actresses     should     have     a     genuine 
southern   accent — not   one  studiously 
acquired — and  be  able  to  say  "corn" 
and   lose   the  "r"   in   the  soft   folds  of 
sound. 

Like  01i\  e  Borden. 

Poor  Olive!  She  had  so  many  "dis- 
coverers. "  Almost  as  many  as  did  America 
with  descendents  of  Vikings,  Vespucci  and 
Columbus  all  wrangling.  Olive  had  Paul, 
the  cameraman — and  Milt  and  Jimmy, 
the  press  agents — and  Bonncy  of  the  cast- 
ing office,  and  a  flock  of  others  waving 
calendars  to  prove  they  discovered  her 
prior  to  anyone  else.  And  now  the  Fox 
Company  thinks  it  is  a  discoverer. 

That's  the  way  with  beauty.  A  homely 
girl  is  never  discovered  unless  she  concocts 
a  savoury  sauce  and  then  some  man  hur- 
ries along  and  pops  her  off  to  his  kitchen 
where  she  makes  herself  homelier  by  steam- 
ing her  face  over  more  savoury  sauce. 

Olive  .  .  .  blessed  with  the  diplomacy 
of  her  southern  ancestry!  It  was  Paul,  the 
cameraman,  who  gave  her  needed  hints 
about  her  make-up,  and  Milt  and  Jimmy, 
the  publicists,  who  gallantly  introduced 
her  to  the  press,  and  Bonney  of  the  casting 
office  who  gave  her  helpful  encouragement. 
And  so  on.  A  charming  way  to  divide  the 
honors  and  see  that  each  one  gets  a  com- 
forting piece  of  the  cake. 

But  no  matter  who  discovered  Olive, 
she  has  always  had  her  speculative,  albeit 
youthful,  eye  on  pictures  as  a  likely  occu- 
pation. And  when  she  was  very  young 
Mother  Borden  used  to  take  her  to  see 
Jane  and  Katherine  Lee.  Then  when 
Olive  was  sixteen — a  luscious  southern 
peach  of  Norfolk,  Virginia — there  came  a 
bid  to  the  Annapolis  Prom. 

It  meant  a  new  dress,  as  mother  pointed 


just  nineteen,      out.   Also  new  slippers,  b  :  the  last  " hop "  that  doltish 

nd  lashes  that      college  youth,  who  thought  he  was  tripping  on  air,  had  actually 

been    dancing   on   Olive's   dainty    feet.      The    Bordens     just 

mother  and  daughti      i  i  Dad  died  when  Olive  was  a  baby — 

were  not  poor.  Not  were  they  wealthy.  They  were  at  that 

brave  stage  w  here  dollars  are  counted  I  wi(  e,  and  a  roasl , 
after  the  third  day,  is  made  into  slew. 
So    Olive,    with    the    bright    vision    that    is    youth's, 
suggested  that   from  the  I'lom  she  go  to  New  Vork 
and  break  into  pictures. 

.Mother  Borden,  with   the  hardy  fortitude  that 
is  a  mother's,  sagely  shook  her  head. 
"Not  that  way,  my  dear.     We  will  do  things 
(directly.    If  you  want  to  go  into  pictu 
we  will  go  to  Hollywood.    But  it  will  be 
the  Prom  or  Hollywood.     Win 

Olive's    fust    opportunity    in    Holly- 
wood was  a  bit  in  a  Christy   comedy 
where  she  was  to  imitate  Lila  Lee.   Now 
her  acting  instructions  had   been  nil. 
And  what  she  knew  about  acting  was 
sketched  from  the  Heave  and  Smirk 
School  of  Emotion.     She  romped  all 
over  the  stage  and  grimaced  into  the 
camera.     The  director  was  tired   .   .   . 
and  frank.   Brutally  so.    "Vou'll  never 
be  an  actress.    Go  back  to  school.     Go 
anywhere!    But  go  away!" 
Mother  invested  their  small  savings 
in  a  candy  shop  which  went  the  way 
of    bad    investments,    but    not    without    a 
vigorous  struggle  to  thrive,  with  Olive  back 
of   the   counter         [  continued  on  page  122  ] 


Olive  in  her  first  character 
role — a  half-breed  girl  on 
a  southern  archipelago. 
The  scene  is  from  "Yellow 
Fingers" 


TT   is   not   my    business   to   make 
predictions.    But  once  in  a  while 
valour  gets  the  better  part  of  dis- 
cretion. 

At  the  present  moment  I  am  irre- 
sistibly moved  to  call  your  attention 
to  one  Olive  Borden.  Not  so  long 
ago,  I  believe,  she  and  her  mother 
ran  a  little  candy  shop  and  home- 
cooking  lunch  room,  where  the  Holly- 
wood folk  gathered  to  eat.  But 
today,  Olive  is  skimming  up  the 
ladder  and  looks  to  me  like  one  of 
the  best  hits  of  star  material  since 
Shearer  and  Banky  dazzled  fandom. 

If — have  to  put  that  if  in — if  .little 
Olive  can  be  taught  not  to  do  trick 
things  with  her  mouth,  she  is  going 
to  be  a  riot.  She  is  exquisitely  beau- 
tiful, she  has  an  adorable  figure,  she 
has  fire  and  appeal,  she  has  possi- 
bilities in  the  acting  line.

Josephine  Dunn  of  New  York 


Charles  Brokaw  of  New  York 


Screen  Cubs 


By  Katharine  Zimmerman 


A  New  York  screen  critic 

tries  to  go  on  record  as 

making  three  discoveries. 

We  shall  see. 


"We're  junior  stars  of  '26 
"We'll  be  like  Swanson,  Joy  and  Dix, 
"Camera!  Camera!  Zis!  Boom!  Fralz! 
"ZUKOR!  LASKY!  BALABAN!  KATZ!" 

SO  far  the  sixteen  graduates  of  the  Paramount  School  of 
of  Acting  have  been  carefully  hand-fed  by  fairy  god- 
papas  and  god-mammas,  on  experience  filtered  through 
the  gauze  of  wisdom.  Henceforth  they  are  going  to  take 
pot-luck  with  less  fortunate  brethren  in  the  field  of  screen  en- 
deavor, and  the  probabilities  are  that  they  will  rattle  around 
for  some  time  until  each  finds  his  proper  level. 

This  rattling  process  is  a  disconcerting  affair  at  best.  It 
strains  with  impartial  zeal  on  talent,  temper  and  spinal  verte- 
bra. It  calls  for  a  level  head  and  steady  feet.  It  is  as  impersonal 
as  an  address  to  a  double-tailed  tree  toad.  It  implies  courage, 
grit,  stability  and  all  the  optimism  of  the  man  with  the  wooden 
leg  who  said  he  "could  keep  his  socks  up  with  thumbtacks." 

They  arc  a  good-looking  group,  these  eager  youngsters  of 
Faramount's  selection,  but  comeliness  never  made  a  Pickfdrd 
nor  a  moustache  a  Menjou.  Their  talents  have  been  graded  to 
a  certain  extent  in  the  mills  of  Astoria,  but  it  still  remains  for 
them  to  manifest — pardon  the  vulgarity — the  spunk  to  endure. 
How  many  of  them  will  fall  by  the  wayside  affords  interesting, 
if  a  trifle  morbid,  scope  for  speculation.  (At  this  point  we 
catch  a  fleeting  echo  of  the  Paramount  cheer,  accredited  to  the 
soaring  imagination  of  our  learned  contemporary,  Miss  Rose 
Pelswick.) 

The  problem  of  selecting  from  these  sixteen  survivors  two  or 
three  names  that  may  go  down  to  cinema  posterity  is  as  fraught 
with  complications  as  the  question  of  deciding  how  many 
angels  can  dance  on  the  point  of  a  pin.  Is  there,  blushing  un- 
seen among  them,  a  potential  Dix,  a  second  Swanson.  an  out- 
Chapliner  of  the  great  Charles  himself?  From  their  initial  co- 
operative effort.  "Fascinating  Youth,"  through  which  the 
graduates  pace  with  all  the  earnest  endeavor  of  a  tom-cat  on  a 
barbed-wire  fence,  we  were  at  first  inclined  to  give  a  gloomy 
negative.  Then  we  remembered  how  another  learned  contem- 
porary heat  us  to  it  in  the  "discovery"  of  Harold  Lloyd. 
Wherefor,  in  a  reconnoitering  and  more  humble  spirit,  we  turned 
again  to  a  contemplation  of  their  antics.  And,  behold,  we 
were  rewarded.    We  "discovered"  Buddy  Rogers. 


Charles  Rogers  has  been  a  cub  before,  it  seems.  His  previous 
incarnation  was  as  a  budding  journalist  in  Kansas,  but  ere  he 
could  win  spurs  as  a  knight  of  the  silver  pen,  the  trumpets  of 
Paramount  sounded,  and  young  Rogers  came  out  of  the  West. 
We  decided  to  "discover"  Rogers,  not  on  the  strength  of  his 
aesthetic  appeal  or  his  bubbling  boyishness,  but  principally 
upon  evidences  of  that  indefinable  quality  that  distinguishes  a 
natural  actor  from  a  marionette.  His  inexperience  is  vast,  of 
course.  But  behind  all  the  ear-marks  of  directorial  dictation 
there  lurks  something  in  the  method  and  presence  of  the  lad 
that  all  the  king's  horses  and  all  the  king's  men  could  not  inject 
into  the  person  of  Rogers — or  anyone  else.  Personality,  per- 
haps.    Or  character. 

At  all  events,  against  a  background  of  fifteen  other  likely 
youngsters,  he  looms  like  a  frigate  among  sailing  smacks.  He 
has  a  winning  smile,  expansive  and  expressive,  and  inclining 
quite  distinctly'  in  the  direction  of  juvenile  leads.  Three  years, 
peradventure,  and  if  his  energy  endures.  Broadway  should  see 
his  name  in  lights. 

In  the  home-wrecking  category.  Josephine  Dunn,  of  New 
York  and  eighteen  summers,  may  with  time  and  careful  training 
make  a  niche  for  herself  in  films.  She  has  allure  and  grace,  and 
very  promising  occular.  if  not  emotional,  control.  An  encour- 
aging note  in  her  work  is  the  glimmering  of  a  latent  comedy 
sense,  hypodermic  humor  that  gets  under  one's  skin — so  rare  an 
attribute  in  moviedom  today  that  a  bare  suspicion  thereof  war- 
rants microscopic  analysis.  If  gentlemen  do  indeed  prefer 
blondes  the  fair  Josephine  may  yet  go  far  on  the  wings  of  a 
screen  type. 

The  valedictorian  of  the  class.  Charles  Brokaw.  twenty-six 
and  an  honor  graduate  of  Ohio  State  University,  will  bear 
watching,  too.  He  is  of  the  fifty-seventh  soulful  variety,  possi- 
bly the  aftermath  of  a  season  of  Romeo  to  Jane  Cowl's  Juliet. 
In  appearance  he  effects  a  fetching  compromise  'twixt  Ronald 
Colman  and  Jack  Colbert.  While  there  seems  no  imminent 
necessity  for  getting  hysterical  in  this  direction.  Brokaw  has  the 
air  of  a  hard  worker  about  him.  and  dogged  plugging  away 
might  eventually  land  him  in  the  leading  man  class. 

So  much  for  our  "discoveries."  There  may  be  talent  un- 
dreamed of  in  our  philosophies  that  seethes  unharnessed  among 
the  other  thirteen.  In  that  ease  they  have  but  to  give  us  a  well-

The  second  of  three  articles  on  the  fascinating 
subject  of  numerology.      Everybody's  doing  it

Adolphe  Menjou  is  endowed 
by  nature  with    great    abil- 
ities.  "How  will  he  use  them" 
asks  Miss  Sears 


T1IK  birth  date  is  as 
important  in  the  study 
of  Numerology  as  the 
knowledge  of  your  cor 

red  baptismal  name.  You 
ma\  fudge  on  your  l>irth  date 
when  giving  your  name  for 
analysis;  but  you  get  no  ac- 
curate information  if  you  do. 
And  just  for  the  ones  who 
prefer  to  say  "over  thirty  " 
let  us  look  over  the  laws  of 
the  destiny  number  and  show 
you  how  to  work  it  out  for 
yourself  in  the  privacy  of 
your  own  room. 

While  your  name  reveals 
the  secret  of  all  you  have  ac- 
complished in  other  lives,  the 
record  of  what  you  have  done 
and  the  list  of  the  influences 
that  are  of  help  to  you,  your 
birth  date  alone  will  tell  you 
exactly  what  experience  you 
are  to  gain  on  this  plane  and 
in  this  life. 

This  birth  path  or  destiny 
in  unchangeable.  It  is  fixed 
and  immutable  and  not  to  be 

put  aside.  If  you  refuse  to  learn  your  lesson,  you  won't  advance. 
You  may  obtain  a  more  helpful  vibration  or  new  materials  with 
which  to  work  out  your  destiny  by  changing  your  name  to  gain 
another  vibration;  but  the  tests  of  your  birth  number  must  be 
met,  face  to  face,  fully  and  without  shirking. 

If  this  destiny  digit  indicates  that  you  must  face  and  conquer 
poverty,  trials  or  difficulties  of  any  kind,  it  is  up  to  you  to  meet 
this  issue  squarely  and  get  it  over  with — just  like  having  your 
teeth  out. 

The  digit  of  your  destiny  number  will  indicate 
not  only  your  need  for  development;  but  the 
power  you  possess  for  drawing  to  you  materials 
for  the  development.  It  is  the  average  of  your 
soul  and  its  power  is  always  about  with  you. 
This  is  the  strength  that  comes  to  you  when 
you  think  you  are  at  the  "end  of  your 
string." 

Sometimes  we  term  it  "  reserve  strength,"  and 
so  it  is.  But  it  might  be  used  daily  and  freely, 
if  we  knew  the  secret  of  that  strength,  instead  of 
waiting  until  we  do  not  know  which  way  to  turn, 
from  ignorance  of  this  natural  law. 

Knowing  the  power  of  this  destiny  number, 
you  may  determine  for  yourself  whether  or  not 
your  difficulties  are  meant  for  development  or 
are  caused  by  your  own  careless  negligence.  If 
your  destiny  number,  for  instance,  is  a  7,  and 
your  ideality  number  is  a  5  or  a  2,  you  are  not 
going  to  ha,ve  an  easy  time  making  your  adjust- 
ments with  life,  for  the  latter  are  social  numbers 
and  will  not  do  harmonious  team  work  with  the 
sombre  7  willingly. 

If,  on  the  contrary,  your  destiny  number  is 
strong  and  harmonious  with  a  corresponding 
ideality  influence,  everything  in  life  will  come  to 
you  easily  and  overcoming  difficulties  should  not 
permit  you  as  much  credit  as  should  go  to  the 
poor  chap  whose  numbers  do  not  work  together 


so  harmoniously.  That  is,  providing  you  work 
v.  it  li  the  positive  Bide  ol  j  our  influent  i 

It  Mm  have  strong  numbers  and  remain  on 
i  In   negative  plane,  you  have  so  much  more  t" 

answer  for  in  the  waj   <>t   talents  unused.     And 

someday  you  will  have  to  pay  for  the  neglect. 
You  must  harness  your  ambition  in  anj  i 

with  determined  effort,  if  you  expeCl  to  get  I  In- 
most out  of  any  number  influem 

If  you  will  learn  to  use  every  experience  that 
i onus  to  you  on  your  destiny  plane  wisely,  you 

will  soon  make  friends  with  your  mist 

avoid  further  ones.    It  is  useless  to  stew  over 

past  mistakes.  Far  better  to  label  tin  in  as 
warning  posts  for  pitfalls  for  the  unwary  and 
pass  on  to  the  better  road.      For  your  destiny 

number  will  always  draw  you  to  the  places  in 

which  you  must  fulfill  the  highest  need  of  your 
life.  It  is  responsible  for  the  brave  ones  who  are 
walking  along  a  path  of  poverty  to  learn  their 
lesson,  as  well  as  for  the  ones  who  have  climbed 
to  the  highest  peak  of  financial  success.  It 
brings  within  your  circle  the  people  whose  in- 
fluence must  bear  directly  upon  the  work  you 
are  to  accomplish. 

Yrour  destiny  number  is  divided  into   three 

periods.  These  govern  three  phases  of  your  life. 

Let  me  illustrate  by  an  example  of  a  woman  I 

know  who  was  born  on  January  25th.  1880,  and 

who  spends  much  of  her  leisure  time  in  wondering  why  she 

hasn't  advanced  further  in  the  world  of  art. 

The  month  digit  being  1,  she  was  under  this  influence  of 
strong  dominant  and  creative  power  until  her  25th  year.  She 
demanded  her  own  way  in  all  things  and  was  most  aggressive 
and  headstrong.  The  creative  influence  of  the  1,  would  have 
aided  her  greatly  in  her  ambition  for  an  artistic  life,  if  she  had 
used  it  wisely  and  grasped  every  opportunity  it  afforded  her 

for  development. 

About  the  age  of  25,  she 
came  under  the  influence  of 
the  digit  of  the  day  of  her 
birth,  the  number  7.  ob- 
tained by  adding  the  2  and 
the  5.  This  subjects  her  to 
the  reserved  atmosphere  of 
the  reflective  and  reticent 
worker  who  finds  expression 
difficult. 

She  is  neglecting  to  utilize 
the  attractive  power  of  this 
number  to  its  greatest  de- 
gree. 7  is  alwavs  a  number 
of  great  power  of  attraction, 
if  used  with  faith  and  seren- 
ity. When  she  is  50  she  will 
come  under  the  influence  of 
the  number  8,  which  should 
surround  her  with  active, 
scientific  mental  atmos- 
phere. The  total  destiny 
number  is  7  and  she  should 
endeavor  to  attract  to  her 
the  opportunity  to  serve  the 
world  as  a  higher  teacher, 
understanding  that  she 
must  endure  much  opposi-

On    the  set   he   is   older   than   the 

character  man,  and  rules  the  cast 

he  joked  with  only  a  few  minutes 

before  with  an  iron  hand 


AFTER  all,  does  it  really 
matter? 
It  was  Tuesday,  which 
doesn't  matter,  but  it  really 
was  Tuesday.  The  noon  hour  had 
passed,  as  noon  hours  have  an  annoy- 
ing way  of  doing.  Therefore,  we 
footed  our  avoirdupois  to  the  Algon- 
quin hostelry  where  that  "Regular 
Feller,"  Edward  Sutherland,  had 
promised  faithfully  he  would  come  from  "Behind  the  Front." 

We  raced  a  fat  man  for  the  only  empty  chair  in  the  lobby  and 
beat  him  by  a  foot.  We  gazed  around  triumphantly,  anticipat- 
ing applause,  and  discovered  Mr.  Sutherland  sitting  next  to  us 
with  an  inscrutable  expression  on  his  face.  We  say  inscrutable 
because  it  happens  to  be  one  of  our  favorite  words. 

Beginning  a  new  paragraph  honestly,  Mr.  Sutherland's  ex- 
pression wasn't  inscrutable  at  all.     It  was  fearful. 

"I  can't  be  interviewed  today,"  he  announced.  "I  am 
thinking." 

"Very  welland  O.K.,"  we  said  agreeably,  "but  don't  overdo 
it." 

Whereupon,  much  relieved,  we  hied  ourselves  to  a  quiet 
restaurant  around  the  corner.  A  glum  headwaiter  offered  us  a 
table  near  the  door.  We  didn't  want  the  table  near  the  door. 
The  headwaiter  became  glummer  and  more  insistent.  ll 
looked  bad  for  the  city's  peace.  Eddie  put  his  hand  in  his  hip 
pocket.  The  headwaiter  hastened  to  lake  us  to  a  quiet  table 
in  a  corner.  Eddie  drew  forth  a  handkerchief.  The  head- 
waiter's  lace  resembled  an  unripe  persimmon  in  search  of  a 
victim. 

"Good  work,  Eddie,"  we  applauded. 

"I  can't  get  rid  of  this  cold,"  lie  returned.  We  sighed  and 
forgot  lo  be  philosophical. 

Silence,  while  we  pored  over  a  menu  card  that  looked  like  a 
newspaper  gone  daffy.  The  waiter  appeared  eastaneting  silver. 
We  ordered.    Somewhere,  new  motion  picture  companies  were 

being  Organized.     New  stars  were  being  made.     Old  stars  were 

66 


signing  checks.  Life  is  like  that. 
Life  is  a  comedy  and  all  the  world 
seeks  its  laughs  on  the  other  feller. 
Edward  Sutherland  knows  it. 
Eddie  is  the  boy  director  on  the 
Famous  Players  lot  who,  off  the 
set,  radiates  the  roguish  allure  of  a 
"Peck's  Bad  Boy"  in  the  act  of 
getting  away  with  it!  On  the  set, 
he  is  older  than  the  character 
man.  and  rules  the  same  cast  he 
joked  with  only  a  few  minutes  be- 
fore with  an  iron  hand. 

That's  Eddie  Sutherland,   the 
youth   who   made   "  Behind    the 
Front"  and  gave  Famous  Players 
its   biggest   box   office   smash   in 
months.    Eddie  hails  from  a  well 
known  stage  family.    His  mother 
was  Julia  Ring,  sister  of  Blanche 
and  Frances  Ring,  who  is  none 
other  than  Mrs.  Tom  Meighan. 
His  father,  Al  Sutherland,  man- 
aged his  own  company  in  London, 
and  it  was  in  Lunnon-town.  thirty 
years  ago,  that  young  Sutherland 
came  into  the  world. 
As  a  youngster,  he  fluttered  back  and 
forth  across  the  Atlantic,  attending  six- 
teen schools  during  his  nomadic  box- 
hood,  finally  ending  at  the  Brookline. 
Miss..  High  School. 

"Did  you  graduate?"  we  queried. 
He  smiled,  a  bit    ruefully.      "Never 
graduated  from  anything  in  my  life!" 
Which,  though  interestingly  restless  and 
youthfully  cynical,  is  not  exactly  true. 
Eddie  speaks  French  and  German  flu- 
ently, and  when  it  comes  to  scientific  fighting,  there  isn't  a  man 
his  weight  who  can  equal  him  in  a  ring.     Graduation  stuff? 
Piff,  my  deah. 

Of  course.  Eddie  followed  in  the  family  footsteps  and  crashed 
into  the  footlights.  That  went  oke.  but  later  he  lined-up  with 
Helen  Holmes  and  her  train  serial  company  (please  do  not  con- 
fuse with  seals)  at  S15  a  week,  plus  85  extra  every  time  he 
doubled  for  Miss  Holmes.  He  has  worked  as  propman.  camera- 
man, film  cutter,  assistant  director  for  Charlie  Chaplin,  actor, 
and  now,  director. 

Eddie's  aunt,  Blanche  Ring,  gave  him  his  first  stage  job. 
Recently,  he  reciprocated  by  giving  her  her  first  screen  engage- 
ment in  his  new  production,  "It's  the  Old  Army  Game.'' 
starring  W.  C.  Fields. 

Eddie  is  the  kind  of  youngster,  even  today,  who  can  do 
favors  for  others  but  can't  accept  them.  It  used  to  burn  him 
up,  at  the  time  he  was  directing  his  in-law  uncle.  Tom  Meighan, 
in  "  Coming  Through,"  to  think  that  casual  gossip  credited  Mr. 
Meighan  with  putting  him  over  as  a  director.  As  a  matter  of 
fact,  Eddie  and  Tom  had  snappy  set-tos.  both  having  minds  of 
their  own.  Eddie  figured  he  was  the  director  and  he  wanted  to 
carry  on,  accordingly.  Tom  had  other  ideas.  They  made  only 
that  one  flicker,  together. 

Though  once  married  to  Marjorie  Daw.  he  was  made  a  court- 
bachelor  years  ago  and  premeditates  no  matrimonial  venture 
in  the  near  or  distant  future.  What  he  does  premeditate  is 
eventually  to  direct  pictures  that  reflect  life  shorn  of  "gags"  but 
not   devoid  of  humor.     Features  [  continued  ox  page  126  1

A  DEBUT  as  gay  as  a  hurst  of  jazz! 
Teas,  balls,  the  opera!  Heavenly  for 
a  year,  but  after  a  season  I  turned  to  some- 
thing more  substantial — the  theatre!  You 
know  what  that  means— just  when  one  is 
slaving  one's  hardest  one  has  to  appear 
one's  best!  For  the  skin  which  is  doubly 
taxed  by  society  and  professional  life  and 
which  must  be  kept  clear  and  free  from

iells  now  a  doubly  taxed  skin 
can  bell  be  cared  for 

that  leads  to  stardom  in  the  theatre. 
But  however  far  her  art  may  carry  her, 
Elinor  Patterson  will  never  be  just  an  actress. 
Wherever  she  goes  she  is  drawn  into  social  life. 
Her  charm  and  beauty  and  her  family's  pres- 
tige make  this  inevitable.  So  she  has  to  be 
doubly  prepared,  to  appear  before  the  world 
which  sees  her  across  the  footlights,  the  world 
which  sees  her  on  the  ballroom  floor. 


ELINOR  PATTERSON  is  an  artist 
born.  With  a  background  of  wealth, 
position  and  aristocratic  family  tradi- 
tions, all  the  tendencies  of  her  life  have 
been  to  accent  her  beauty  and  feminine 
charm  in  a  purely  social  way. 

But  with  determination  almost  para- 
doxical in  a  body  of  such  fragile  and  ex- 
quisite blonde  beautyshe  turned  her  steps 
from  the  too  easy  path  of  social  success 
and  directed  them  to  the  often  stony  road

Miss  Patterson  believes  this  end  can  be 
achieved  b^  the  following  use  of  Pond's  Two 
Creams: 

For  cleansing  your  skin,  apply  Pond's  Cold 
Cream  lavishly,  before  retiring  and  frequently 
during  the  day.  Leave  it  on  a  few  moments. 
Wipe  off  with  a  soft  cloth  or  tissue,  repeat  the 
process  and  finish  with  a  dash  of  cold  water. 
For  a  delicate,  smooth  finish,  a  firm  powder 
base  and  protection  against  dirt  and  weather, 
apply  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream  after  every 
daytime  cleansing  with  Pond's  Cold  Cream.

The  Sight  That  Failed  Her 

Or,  circumstances,  more  baffling  than  artistic  temperament,  over 
which  the  Great  Director  had  no  control 

By  James  Clarke

debt. 


ECIL  DeMILLION  was  about  to  realize  his  life-long 
ambition.  He  had  erected  a  set  larger  than  ever  before 
it  fairly  dwarfed  the  pyramids  or  the  Woolworth 
Building,  and  ran  neck  to  neck  with  the  German  war 


If  you  get  what  I  mean — this  set  was  a  wow — a  set  than  which 
there  was  no  whicher. 

A  non  casual  observer,  after  giving  his  eyes  a  twenty  minute 
trip  around  its  circumference,  would  probably  say  that  it  was 
the  living  room  of  John  D.  Mostlybuck's  summer  or,  perhaps, 
winter  home.  If  he  did  say  this  and  Cecil  heard  him  he  would 
say  he  was  right,  except  that  John  Mostlybuck's  middle  initial 
was  not  "  D,"  since  his  name  is  Waldemar,  which  begins  with  a 
"W,"  as  in  the  word  "Waldemar." 

"Are  you  ready?"  shouted  Cecil  through  a  megaphone, 
specially  built  for  this  one  big  scene  by  the  United  Steel  Cor- 
poration, with  supports  supplied  by  Trustem  Bridge  Co.,  Inc. 
Five  minutes  later  the  echo  came  bounding  back,  closely  fol- 
lowed by  a  faint,  far  distant  "Let  'er  go." 

"Are  all  the  long  distance  phones  installed  for  the  conversa- 
tion scene  across  the  room?"  "Have  all  the  waiters  been 
equipped  with  motorcycles  for  the  banquet  scene?"  "Are  all 
the  rolling  conveyors  installed  for  carrying  the  glances  around 
the  room?  " 

Thus  question  after  question  boomed  from  the  gigantic 
horn,  until  the  vast  room  became  a  great  bedlam  of  cannonad- 
ing that  made  strong  men  quake  in  their  boots,  or  even  in  their 
stocking  feet  if  they  were  unfortunate  enough  to  be  caught  in 
that  state. 

Suddenly  from  a  corner  of  the  room  far  removed  from  Cecil 
a  speck  appeared.  Seizing  a  handy  pair  of  field  glasses  (Cecil 
was  a  great  hand  to  have  lots  of  glasses  around  either  full  or 
just  drained)  and  placing  them  to  his  eyes  in  accordance  with 


an  old  custom,  he  perceived  that  the  speck,  was.  forsooth,  two 
things,  a  horse  and  a  rider.  Barring  accidents  they  should 
reach  him  within  ten  minutes  and  meanwhile  he  held  his  breath 
(this  is  believed  to  break  all  previous  records  at  breath  holding 
and  will  be  presented  to  the  next  meeting  of  the  Amateur  Ath- 
letic Union  for  confirmation). 

Exactly  ten  minutes  later,  daylight  saving  time,  the  erstwhile 
rider  was  at  Cecil's  feet,  or  perhaps,  for  accuracy,  we  should  say, 
"  foot,"  as  Cecil  had  one  foot  neatly  supported  on  a  chair,  as  was 
his  wont. 

"The  worst  thing  possible  has  happened,"  the  courier  managed 
to  gasp  after  swallowing  hard  twice  and  gulping  once. 

"Spare  no  details,"  came  back  Cecil,  after  steeling  himself 
with  stolen  courage. 

"You  remember  Lotta  Lukes,  if  I'm  not  mistaken," — this 
from  the  half  portion  of  the  above  mentioned  speck  that  wasn't 
the  horse. 

"  You  are  not  mistaken,"  Cecil  assured  him.  "  I  do  remember 
her.  She  is  the  leading  lady  in  this,  my  greatest  and  best 
production." 

"Well,"  gulped  the  messenger  for  the  third  time  by  actual 
count,  "that's  just  the  trouble.  It's  all  off,  she  can't  play  in 
this  setting." 

"T'ell  she  can't,"  from  Cecil,  "Ain't  she  the  greatest  movie 
queen  that  was  ever  good  to  her  mother  and  liked  to  roll  up  her 
sleeves  and  cook?" 

"That  may  all  be,  but  she  can  never  play  in  this  picture. 
And  then  he  fairlv  shouted, 

"  WHY,  SHE'S  NEAR  SIGHTED !" 


The  pallbearers  were  six  of  Cecil's  most  intimate  associates 
and  business  friends.

THIS FAMOUS  FOOD  tones  up  the 

entire  system  —  aids  digestion  —  clears 

the  skin  —  banishes  constipation. 


"An  athlete  and  former  physical  director 
of  the  Cincinnati  Gymnasium,  during  the 
war  I  served  as  director  of  an  aniline  dye 
plant.  When  I  returned  to  my  old  active 
work,  I  was  not  fit;  I  suffered  from  an  acid 
stomach.  Then  I  discovered  Fleischmann's 
Yeast.  I  no  longer  suffer  from  acidity  of 
the  stomach  .  .  .  And  I  enthusiastically 
recommend  Yeast  to  the  men  who  come  to 
me  to  be  kept  fit."

Model  Young  Men 


They're  in  the  Movies  Now 


Illustrators  saw  Reed  Howes 
as  the  typical  American 
youth  —  athletic  and  hand- 
some— and  he  posed  for  many 
collar  ads.  Three  years  ago 
he  abandoned  the  starched 
collar  in  favor  of  the  sport 
shirt  model  and  became  a 
handsome  daredevil  of  the 
screen 


Masculine  necks  are  usually 
mere  collar  racks — and  not 
what  you'd  call  pretty.  But 
Mathias  Kemp  won  his  first 
fame  as  the  possessor  of  a 
perfect  neck,  which  he  oblig- 
ingly encircled  with  a  pop- 
ular make  collar  for  pictorial 
purposes.  Now  Matty  is  in 
the  Universal  stock  company 


What  the  Zicgfcld  Follies  are 
to  beautiful  young  girls,  the 
collar  ads  are  to  handsome 
young  men.  William  Law-

got  a  chance  in  pictures  after 
he  had  appeared  many 
times  before  the  collar  ad

women  ask  us 


One  woman  writes:  "Last  week  I  purchased  two 
lovely  rayon  undervescs  at  a  very  attractive  price. 
Now  I  want  to  know  how  to  wash  them  since  I 
have  heard  that  rayon  is  hard  to  launder.  Won't 
you  please  cell  me  it  it  is  safe  in  Lux?" 


jp.\YON  is  a  new  kind  of 
XV.  textile  fibre,  the  tirst  man 
h.is  succeeded  in  creating.  It  is 
entirely  different  from  silk  or 
wool  or  cotton.  And  more 
sensitive  to  laundering  than 
ne  of  these  three! 

To  help  women  avoid  un- 
fortunate experiences  with 
washing  rayon,  the  largest  soap 
manufacturers  in  the  world — 
the  makers  of  Lux — experi- 
mented in  their  laboratories 
till  they  found  what  they  be- 
lieve is  the  safest  way  of  all  to 
care  for  it. 

When  rayon  is  wet  it  loses  a 
great  deal  ot  its  strength  (some 
grades  more  than  others).  This 
strength  comes  back  as  soon  as 
the  fabric  dries. 
Any    treatment

but  the  gentlest  most  careful, 
seriously  affects  the  delicate 
fibres. 

Never  wring,  never  twist, 
never  rub  rayon.  r\iibbing  with 
cake  soap  may  ruin  it.  For 
when  wee  the  fibres  are  tem- 
porarily weakened  so  that  even 
light  pressure  may  break  them 
apart. 

The  safest,  gentlest  way  to 
wash  rayon  is  in  sparkling, 
bubbling  Lux  suds!  With  Lux 
there  is  no  rubbing  to  harm 
delicate  fibres.  You  know  from 
using  Lux  for  your  silks  and 
woolens  that  it  won't  harm  the 
most  fragile  thing  that  water 
alone  won't  injure. 

Follow  the  directions  in  the  panel 
when  you  next  wash  rayon — they 
tell  you  the  safest  way.  Lever  Bros.

yVEVER  were  underthings  more 
exquisite,  more  delicate  in  color- 
ings than  this  season!  Many  of 
the  new  vests  and  knickers  are  of 
rayon,  the  artificial  silk  which 
has  grown  so  enormously  popular. 
Many  of  the  new  stockings,  too, 
are  madeof  rayon.  Launder  them 
the  safest,  gentlest  way  of  all — ■ 
tl.i  Lux  way! 


The  Safest  Way  to  'Wash 
Rayon 

Cut  out  these  directions 
— follow  them  next  time 

WHIP  up  a  tablespoonful  of  Lux  in 
lukewarm  water.  Take  off  your  rings 
— the  prongs  might  tear  the  wet 
fibres.  A  rough  finger  nail,  too,  may 
catch  in  the  fabric  and  cause  damage. 

Plunge  your  underthings  into  these 
fluffy  bubbling,  pure  Lux  suds.  Swirl 
them  about,  gently  pressing  the  suds 
through  the  fabric.  Never  rub  with 
a  cake  of  soap!  Then  squeeze  out  the 
suds — never  wring — and  rinse  sev- 
eral times  in  lukewarm  water. 

To  dry,  wrap  the  garment  in  a 
towel  and  squeeze  out  as  much  water 
as  possible,  do  not  twist.  Then  spread 
on  a  towel  and  pull  into  shape  or 
hang  the  garment  lengthwise  over  a 
clothesline  or  rack.  Never  use 
clothespins.  Never  dry  in  excessive 
heat.  For  rayon  garments  which 
require  pressing,  iron  across  the 
weave  with  a  warm,  not  hot,  iron.

Girls1  Problems 


Friendly  Advice  from  Carolyn  Van  Wyck 


Her  Letter 

DEAR  CAROLYN  VAN  WYCK: 
I  am  a  business  girl  and  I  am  troubled 
with  the  problem  of  always  being  tired. 
My  health  is  perfectly  satisfactory,  but  I  simply 
haven't  any  pep.  What  shall  I  do  about  it?  I 
work  in  a  small  office  as  a  typist.  The  work  isn't 
very  hard,  but  I  put  in  eight  hours  daily  there. 
I  would  like  to  walk  home,  but  I  never  feel  up 
to  it.  I  never  feel  up  to  doing  much  of  anything, 
but  I'm  only  twenty,  and  I  hate  going  home 
every  night  and  staying  in  like  an  old  lady. 
Can  you  tell  me  a  cure  for  this? 


don't  have  to  accept  that  as  defeat.  There 
never  was  a  sicker  man  than  Robert  Louis 
Stevenson,  who  found  the  gigantic  energy  to 
become  a  very  great  author.  Steinmetz,  the 
electrical  wizard,  went  on  to  triumph,  burdened 
with  a  hunched  back  and  a  crippled  foot.  The 
list  of  such  people  is  limitless. 

But  taking  you  at  your  word  that  your 
health  is  good,  I  must  urge  you  to  make  it 
perfect.  When  I  say  the  more  energy  you  use, 
the  more  you  have,  I  do  not  mean  that  you 
can  work  all  da}'  in  your  office  and  dance  all 
night  at  a  smoky  cabaret  and  have  additional 


My  Reply 


Energy  conquers  all  things. 

I  would  like  to  have  this  as  a  wall 
motto  for  every  ambitious  girl.  Energy 
conquers  all  things. 

It  is  unlike  any  other  quality  in  the 
world.  The  more  you  use  the  more  you 
have.  You  have  only  twenty-four 
hours  in  each  day.  You  have  only  one 
life  to  live.  But  your  energy,  your  pep 
or  vitality,  is  limited  only  by  your 
demands  upon  it. 

If  you  don't  make  yourself  work  hard, 
you  won't.  If  you  don't  make  yourself 
stir,  you'll  just  sit.  And  then  along 
about  fifty,  you'll  wonder  where  your 
life  is  and  why  you  didn't  get  the  lucky 
breaks  like  the  other  fellow. 

There  has  never  been  a  really  peppy 
human  who  has  staged  a  lasting  failure. 
Such  persons  may  make  mistakes  that 
cause  a  temporary  failure,  but  you  can't  keep 
them  down.  They  rise  to  the  top  as  inevitably 
as  a  cork  in  an  ocean.   It  is  impossible  for  a 
girl  tilled  with  vitality  to  stay  ordinary. 

I  make  these  statements  flatly  to  you,  little 
Miss  Tired  Typist,  because  I  know  from 
observation  and  practice  that  they  are  true. 

Provided  there  is  nothing  organically  wrong 
with  a  person,  there  is  D.0  reason  that  they 
have  to  be  always  tired  except  that  they  are 
lazy  and  want  to  be  tired.  The  tiredness  then 
becomes  an  excuse  from  further  exertion. 

First,  then,  go  to  the  best  doctor  in  your 
town  and  have  a  physical  examination.  Don't 
come  away  comforted  with  a  liver  pill.  Get  his 
real  opinion.  All  good  doctors  are  worth 
talking  and  listening  to. 

Even  if  he  tells  you  there  is  something  out 
of  plumb  with  your  internal  arrangements,  you

Is  This  Month's  Problem 


Write  me  your  problems.  If  you  desire  a 
personal  reply  in  matters  that  need  under- 
standing rather  than  rules,  I  will  be  glad  to 
send  it.  Enclose  a  stamped  and  addressed 
envelope  for  reply. 

I  have  had  printed  for  you  directions  for 
obtaining  any  desired  improvement  in  your 
appearance — advice  on  diet,  reducing,  increas- 
ing weight,  care  of  skin,  general  health.  Send 
a  stamped   self-addressed   envelope   for  them. 


pep.  But  if  you  will  intersperse  mental  with 
physical  energy,  you  will  get  the  added  vitality. 
As  far  as  that  goes,  I  do  believe  that  a  half 
hour  with  the  Charleston  is  more  beneficial 
t  liana  week  wit  ha  hot  tie  of  sulphur  and  molasses. 

Common  sense  applied  to  health  is  the  finest 
energy  force.  One's  destiny  is  not  half  so 
much  in  one's  stars  as  in  one's  diet. 

Eat  simply,  regularly  and  not  too  much. 
Drink  all  the  water  you  can.  Get  all  the  fresh 
air  you  can.  Fifteen  minutes  a  day  of  exercise 
may  very  well  mean  an  extra  thousand  dollars 
a  year  in  earning  capacity,  Take  a  daily  bath. 
Get  eight  hours'  sleep,  with  at  least  a  half  hour 
of  it  before  midnight,  as  many  nights  a  week 
as  possible.  These  are  sane  safeguards  of 
vitality.  When  you  work,  work  hard.  Dawdling 
uses  up  twice  the  energy  that  the  drive  to 
win  does. 


Play  hard  each  day.  Choose  for  your 
recreation  something  in  which  you  are  really 
interested,  and  if  possible  make  it  one  of  the 
open-air  sports.  Try  to  plan  each  day  so  that 
it  holds  a  little  laughter  for  you.  If  you  can't 
laugh  at  anything  else,  laugh  at  yourself.  That 
can  always  be  done  and  it's  very  healthy,  too. 
When  you  move,  move  with  snap.  When 
you  rest,  do  so  completely.  Don't  be  a  self 
stopper.  Nobody  ever  heard  of  a  flat  tire 
being  the  life  of  the  party. 

When  you  leave  your  office  and  you  feel 
tired  because  you  have  been  working  with 
your  brains  all  day — at  least.  I  hope  you 
have — do.  by  all  means,  walk  home 
briskly.  The  blood  will  start  flowing 
through  your  veins  and  before  the 
first  mile  is  passed,  you  will  feel  so 
refreshed,  you'll  hardly  believe  you're 
the  same  person. 

Finally,  train  your  imagination  to 
expect  big  things  of  you.  Raise  your 
standard  high  enough  and  you'll  run 
to  keep  up  with  it.  It  is  better  to  burn 
your  candle  at  both  ends  than  never 
to  light  it  at  all. 

Mickey  of  Ideals. 

Mickey,  I  think  the  very  best  thing 
you  could  do  is  follow  your  brother's 
example  and  show  your  love  for  your 
parents.     If  you  really  want  to  go  to 
college,  be  prepared  so  that  you  could 
work  your  way  through  whether  it  is 
necessary  or  not.     It  isn't  harder  for 
girls  to  work  than  it  is  for  boys.    Girls 
just  think  it  is,  that's  all.     You  write  a 
very  good  letter  and  I  think  it  is  quite  possible 
that  you  could  learn  to  be  an  excellent  jour- 
nalist, but  don't  choose  the  profession  thinking 
it's  an  easy  one.    It's  a  very  hard  one. 

Jean  Lee. 

For  five  feet,  7  inches,  if  you  are  about  :o 
years  old.  the  correct  weight  is  approximately 
135  pounds.  With  your  light  brown  hair, 
greenish  blue  eyes  and  fair  complexion  you  can 
wear  white  relieved  with  some  other  color; 
black  not  especially  good;  golden  brown;  blue; 
blue  gray;  darkest  purple;  no  red;  pale  pink 
and  soft  rose;  bronze.  Straight  line  dresses 
have  the  effect  of  making  one  appear  taller 
but  B  girl  of  your  height  can  wear  any  model 
she  chooses  because  long  slender  lines  arc  very 
fashionable.

THE  rigid  exactments  of  modern  social 
and  business  life  demand  a  new  hy- 
giene for  women.  Days  are  too  precious, 
too  full,  to  be  lost  ...  or  interfered  with 
by  even  natural  complications. 

For  that  reason,  you  will  find  much 
more  than  simply  a  mere  convenience  in 
this  new  way.  It  will  make  a  great  differ- 
ence in  your  life. 

Gayest,  filmiest  frocks  may  now  be  worn 
without  a  moment's  thought.  Social  de- 
mands are  met  in  confidence.  One  lives 
every  day  .  .  .  unhandicapped.  The  uncer- 
tainty of  the  old-time  sanitary  pad  has 
been  supplanted  with  a  protection  both 
absolute  and  scientific. 

Factors  that  changed  the  hygienic 
habits  of  the  world 

This  new  way  is  Kotex,  the  scientific  sani- 
tary pad.  Nurses  in  war-time  France  first 
discovered  it.  It  is  made  of  the  super- 
absorbent  Cellucotton,  covered  with  spe- 
cially processed,  soft-finished  gauze. 

It  absorbs  and  holds  instantly  sixteen 
times  its  own  weight  in  moisture.  It  is 
five  times  as  absorbent  as  ordinary  cotton. 

Each  Kotex  pad  deodorizes  with  a  new 


secret  disinfectant.  Think  of  the  amazing 
protection  this  feature  alone  gives! 

Easy  disposal — simply  discard 

There  is  no  bother,  no  expense, 
of  laundry.   Simply  discard  Kotex 
as  you  would  a  piece  of  tissue  — 
.without  embarrassment. 

If  y-ou  have  not  tried  Kotex,  please  do. 
It  will  make  a  great  difference  in  your 
viewpoint,  your  peace  of  mind,  your  health. 

60%  of  many  ills,  according  to  many 
leading  medical  authorities,  are  traced  to 
the  use  of  unsafe  and  unsanitary  make- 
shift methods. 

Thus  today,  on  eminent  medical  advice, 
millions  are  turning  to  this  new  way. 

You  can  get  it  anywhere,  today 

A  fair  test  will  convince  you  of  its  advan- 
tages beyond  all  question.  No  other 
method  will  ever  satisfy.  Kotex  comes  in 
sanitary  sealed  packages  of  twelve,  in  2 
sizes:  the  Regular,  and  Kotex-Super.  At 
all  better  drug  and  department  stores, 
everywhere. 

Today  begin  the  Kotex  habit.  Note  the 
improvements,  mental  and  physical,  that 
it  brings.  Write  today  for  "Personal  Hy- 
giene" booklet.  Sample  of  Kotex  will  be 
mailed  free  on  request.  Cellucotton  Prod-

No  laundry.  As  easy  to  dis-

Utter  protection — Kotex  ab- 
sorbs 16  times  its  own

that  of  the  ordinary  cotton

YOU  want  to  tell  him  not  to  forget 
his  rubbers.  And  to  be  careful 
when  he  crosses  the  street.  I  guess 
you  call  that  "the  maternal  urge " 
that  rests  in  every  woman's  heart.  Even 
in  the  most  calloused  ventricles. 

And,  too,  he  makes  you  think  of  Ro- 
mance— with  a  capital  "  R, "  riding  a  white  charger.    Romance 
.  .  .  and  Spring  .  .  .  and  birdies  .  .  .  and  Corot  trees  .  .  . 
and  sulphur  and  molasses. 

He  has  only  played  in  one  picture.  He  played  his  part  with 
spirit  and  with  youthful  fire.  Reminiscent  of  the  days  before 
Valentino  discovered  how  invaluable  he  was.  Unheralded 
talent  is  usually  that  way,  until  it  begins  to  wonder  how  the 
world  struggled  along  without  it.  And  with  that  a  change,  for 
it  loses  its  charm  and  attempts  sophistication  and  artifice. 

But  before  he  begins  to  mug 
and  smirk  .  .  .  which  I  hope 
lie  never  docs.  .  .  I  want  to 
tell  youabout  Raymond  Keane. 
About  the  astounding  good 
fortune  which  brought  him 
into  a  leading  role  after  less 
than  two  months' residence  in 
Hollywood.  And  a  beginner, 
too,  without  a  bit  of  stage 
background. 

Raymond  looks  like  a  pot- 
pourri of  Jack  Gilbert.  Ramon 
Novarro,  Joseph  Schildkraut, 
Ricardo  Cortez,  Rudolph  Val- 
entino. Like  all  I  lie  raven- 
haired  male  contingent.  "  Hut 
more  like  Jack  Gilbert  in  the 
tearoom  scene,"  he  naively 
confided.     Ami  yet  quite  with 


Raymond  Keane  never 
starved,  never  struggled,  had 
no  influence,  knew  nobody, 
but  in  his  second  appearance 
before  the  camera  he  was  a

is  the  luckiest  lad 

in  Hollywood 


By  Dorothy  Spensley 


a  charm  of  his  own,  which  must  be  personality  with  a 
dash  of  Madame  Glyn's  favorite  ingredient. 

The  girls'  guild  is  going  to  approve  of  him.    The  flap- 
pers will  be  torn  between  maternal  solicitude  and  roman- 
tic yearnings.    The  maternal  urge  will  wreathe  carmined 
lips   with  a   benign   smile   and   a   glint   of   unhallowed 
romance  will  glitter  in  many  a  girlish  eye.     Truly  a  deadly 
combination. 

This,  of  course,  if  he  doesn't  decide  that  he  knows  more 
than  the  director  and  others  of  the  studio  faculty.     Raymond 
has  every  opportunity  to  become  a  striking  screen  succc>>. 
He  has  youth.     He  is  just  nineteen  .  .  .  and,  by  his  own 
admission,  very  experienced!     He  has  per- 
sonality.     He    has    charm    of    appearance. 
And  photographic  beauty.    Whether  he  has 
the  perception  to  see  the  wisdom  of  maturer 
judgment  is  to  be  seen.     I  only  hope  he 
doesn't  start  to  chew  the  scenery  in  lieu  of 
acting! 

Raymond  is  not  old  enough  to  realize  how 
fortunate  he  is.  Youth  seldom  does.  He 
has.  at  nineteen  years  of  age,  a  very  com- 
fortable five  year  contract  with  Universal  Film  Company, 
and  his  first  picture.  "The  Midnight  Sun."  has  given  him  a 
role  that  displays  his  personality  to  a  decided  advantage.  It 
is  a  picture  of  lavish  costumes  and  continental  splendor  and 
sets  off  the  dash  of  youthful  Raymond  like  black  velvet  and 
diamonds. 

He  came  from  Denver  eight  months  ago.  An  only  child — 
artistically  inclined.  He  is  a  violinist  and  has  made  numerous 
public  appearances  in  that  city.     He  was  given  several  days 

work   as   an   extra   in   Norma 


Only  nineteen,  and  playing  his  first  love  scene, 

with  Laura  La  Plante  before   him,  and  three 

boils  on  his  neck 


Talmadge's  "  Graust  ark.'' 
which  Dimitri  Buchowetski 
was  directing.  Buchowetski 
was  to  make  a  Russian  picture 
upon  completion  of  the  Tal- 
raadge  story  and  he  saw  in 
Raymond  the  youthful  hero  of 
his  next  story.  He  talked  with 
the  boy  and  Raymond's  next 
screen  appearance  was  in  a 
leading  role  opposite  Laura 
La  Plante. 

It  really  should  not  have 
happened.  It  is  too  good  to  be 
true.  It  is  too  glowing  a  prece- 
dent. It  happens  only  once  in 
ten  thousand  times — and  when 
it  does  happen  it  buoys  up  the

The  allure  of  natural  skin  beauty,  as  thousands 
will  tell  you,  follows  a  simple  daily  care 


PALMOLIVE  is  a  beauty  soap 
made  solely  for  one  purpose; 
to  foster  good  complexions. 

In  France,  home  of  cosmetics, 
it  has  supplanted  French  soaps 
by  the  score.  In  beauty-wise 
Paris,  Palmolive  is  the  "im- 
ported" soap. 

Blended  of  cosmetic  oils,  fa- 
mous since  the  days  of  Cleo- 
patra. Palmolive  is  made  to  be 
used  freely;  on  the  skin. 

Remember  these  facts  when 
tempted  to  risk  an  unproved 
soap  on  your  skin.

TO  be  charming  today,  one  strives 
for  natural  beauty.    All  of  modern 
beauty  culture  is  directed  to  that  end. 

Every  day,  on  every  side,  one  sees 
the  result  .  .  .  beauty  that  stands  in 
contrast  to  the  artificial  allure  of  yes- 
terday. 

Skin  care  has  become  a  simple  mat- 
ter, with  cleanliness  and  healthfully 
open  pores  its  basis.  Natural  beauty 
thus  is  safeguarded  and  protected. 

The  rule  is  one  anyone  can  follow 
with  little  effort  or  bother  . . .  just  the 
daily  use  of  the  soothing  lather  of 
olive  and  palm  oils  as  embodied  in 
Palmolive. 

Natural  beauty  .  .  .  the  daily  care 

that  fosters  it  is  this: 

Wash  your  face  gently  with  sooth- 
ing Palmolive,  massaging  it  softly 
into  the  skin.  Rinse  thoroughly.  Then 


repeat  both  washing  and  rinsing.  Let 
the  final  rinsing  be  with  cold  water. 
If  yourskin  is  inclined  to  be  dry,  apply 
a  touch  of  good  cold  cream — that  is  all. 
Do  this  regularly,  and  particularly  in 
the  evening. 

Use  powder  and  rouge  if  you  wish. 
But  never  leave  them  on  over  night. 
They  clog  the  pores,  often  enlarge 
them.  Blackheads  and  disfigurements 
often  follow.  They  must  be  washed 
away. 

Avoid  this  mistake 

Do  not  use  ordinary  soaps  in  the 
treatment  given  above.  Do  not  think 
any  green  soap,  or  represented  as  of 
olive  and  palm  oils,  is  the  same  as 
Palmolive. 

And  it  costs  but  10c  the  cake!  —  so 
little  that  millions  let  it  do  for  their 
bodies  what  it  does  for  their  faces. 
Obtain  a  cake  today.  Then  note  what 
an  amazing  difference  one  week  makes.

Decidedly  deeper — actually  a  rich, 
vivid  rose ! 

When  the  vogue  of  gleaming  tinted 
nails  first  intrigued  us,  everybody 
thought  they  were  ever  so  nice.  Then 
as  everything  in  the  whole  world  of 
fashion  became  more  brilliant  and 
scintillating,  these  gleaming  nails  took 
on  a  deeper  and  ever  deeper  hue. 

Now,  to  meet  this  new  vogue  in 
polishes,  Cutex  brings  out  a  liquid 
polish  in  a  Deep  Rose  shade. 

No  need  to  tint  the  nails  before 
polishing.  Cutex  Liquid  Polish,  Deep 
Rose,  is  itself  a  rich,  vivid  color.  And 
it  can  be  made  still  deeper  by  simply 
applying  a  second  coat  after  the  first 
has  dried.

A  good  looking  comb,  like  a  good 
looking  home  —  or  a  good  look- 
ing automobile — inspires  a  pride 
in  possession. 

Ajax  combs  command  a  certain 
admiration  for  their  beautiful,  sleek 
black  appearance — for  their  mod- 
ishly  distinctive  lines. 

Perhaps  that's  why  women  who 
know  insist  on  Ajax  combs  for 
themselves  and  for  the  members  or 
their  family.  Or  perhaps  it's  because 
Ajax  combs  in  addition  to  being 
good  looking  are  good  wearing, 
good  for  the  hair — good !

D.  A.  D.,  Texas. — Yes,  that's  the  way  you 
spell  Virginia  Valli's  name  and  she  works  at

Edna  S. — Well,  Edna,  you  don't  have  to 
send  money  for  the  stars'  pictures,  but  they 
do  appreciate  it  if  you  do.  The  cost  of  mailing 
fan  photographs  is  almost  prohibitive,  partic- 
ularly for  the  younger  stars  and  if  you'll  send 
them  a  quarter  they  will  send  you  the  photo 
pronto  and  be  very  glad  to  do  so.  Anna 
Q.'s  middle  name  is  Querentia.  Don't  ask

mont  is  indeed  a  fine  actor.  He  is  about  35 
years  old,  but  praise  be,  he's  not  married.  Do 
you  want  further  proof  he's  a  smart  man? 

Just  Me. — Just  I  too.  Just  you  will  tell  you 
that  the  one  and  only  Rudy  has  black  hair, 
brown  eyes,  is  five  feet  eleven,  weighs  154 
pounds  and  can  be  reached  at  the  United 
Studios.    Don't  let  anyone  know  I  told  you. 

Miss  C.  P. — So  I  always  sound  cheerful  to 
you,  C.  P.?  That's  a  good  girl.  I  always  am 
cheerful.  In  fact,  I  go  cheering  around  until 
they  now  have  me  in  a  sound  proof  vault. 
People  knock  Jack  Gilbert?  Who  says  so? 
T'aint  true.  All  I  get  is  questions  and  praise 
about  him.  Jack's  a  grand  guy.  I  know  where- 
of I  speak.  He  has  dark  brown  hair  brown 
eyes,  is  one  inch  under  six  feet  and  weighs 
160  pounds.  His  address  is  in  care  of  Metro- 
Goldwyn-Mayer,  Culver  City,  Cal.  Ronald 
Colman,  Jack's  nearest  rival,  is  the  same  height, 
weighs  five  pounds  more,  has  the  same  color 
eyes  but  black  hair.  He  is  at  the  United 
Studios,  Hollywood.  Send  there  for  your  pic- 
tures. Ramon's  real  name  is  now  Novarro, 
but  he  had  to  get  it  legally  changed  to  that 
from  Samaniegos.  Tell  teacher  she's  all  wrong 
al  out  Ramon's  hair.  He  wore  it  in  here  to  the 
office  the  other  day  and  it's  perfectly  grand. 
Good  luck,  yourself. 

Miss  C.  C. — So  it's  answers  you  crave! 
How  we  would  get  along!  For  it's  questions 
that  I  live  for  (and  by).  A  photo  of  Leslie 
Fenton?  Send  your  quarter  to  the  Fox  Stu- 
dios. Leslie  is  twenty-four,  but  if  he's  married, 
he  keeps  it  very  cjuiet. 

Operator  N.  Z. — Dear  old  chap,  you're 
most  welcome.  You  can't  be  too  familiar  with 
me.  It  can't  be  done.  Marion  Nixon  was 
born  in  Superior,  Wisconsin,  she's  live  feet  two, 
weighs  100  pounds,  and  has  chestnut  brown 
hair  and  brown,  but  not  chestnut,  eyes, 
Ethel  Clayton  is  going  to  return  to  the  screen 
soon  though  the  name  of  her  pictures  have  not 
yet  been  announced.  Thanks  for  liking  our 
book.    We  think  it's  good,  ourselves. 

C.  S.  W.,Jr. — First  time,  eh?  Come  on  in, 
the  page's  line.  Vcs.  that's  Betty  Bronson's 
real  name.  You  can  get  a  picture  of  her  from 
the  Lasky  Studio.  Hollywood.  1  don't  know 
for  positive  al  out  Doug,  Jr..  and  Hetty. but  my 
SCOUtS  tell  me  there's  a  powerful  amount  of 
sparking  going  on  between  those  two.  Ask 
Betty  to  come  out  to  Little  Rock?  Boy.  it's 
difficult  to  get  that  girl  out  to  a  soda,  much  less 
to  Arkansas. 


L.  W. — We  haven't  seen  any  pictures  ot 
Mahlon  Hamilton  lately.  Have  you?  I'm 
sorry,   but  I   ne.ver  heard  of  Bonnie  Adair. 

E.  W.  B.,  Aurora. — Rudy's  "Four  Horse- 
men" was  first  released  and  that  is  what  made 
him  most  popular.  "The  Sheik','  one  of  his 
popularest,  was  a  later  picture. 

Anna  G.  W. — You  can  reach  Leatrice  Joy 
in  care  of  De  Mille  studios.  The  sparkling 
Leatrice  has  black  hair  and  brown  eyes.  Her 
next  picture  will  be  "  Eve's  Leaves."  Use  your 
own  imagination.  Doug  Fairbanks'  first Wife 
was  Beth  Sully,  now  Mrs.  Evans.  You  don't 
think  we  give  Ben  Lyon  enough  space?  Sony. 
I'll  try  and  fix  it  up  for  you. 

D.  A.  H. — Your  two  little  friends.  Alberta 
Vaughan  and  Larry  Kent  both  hang  their  hats 
at  the  F.  B.  O.  Studios.  And  that's  where  they 
get  their  mail. 

E.  T.  F. — Write  to  Paramount  Studios, 
Pierce  Avenue  and  Sixth  Street,  Long  Island 
City,  N.  Y.,  and  they  will  give  you  full  infor- 
mation regarding  the  Paramount  school,  when 
the  next  course  begins  and  all  that.  I  under- 
stand they  were  chosen  chiefly  from  photo- 
graphs, and  then  from  screen  tests.  A  chap 
five  feet  .seven  has  more  chance  in  the  movies  if 
he's  a  couple  of  inches  taller,  though  that  is 
just  the  height  of  Dick  Barthelmess  and  an 
inch  taller  than  Raymond  Griffith.  Ronald 
Colman  is  five  feet,  eleven,  Novarro,  five  feet, 
ten.  Outside  of  height  the  most  essential 
qualifications.  I  should  say.  are  the  ability  to 
screen,  to  learn,  to  act,  and  to  know  who  to

Beauty  is  easily  lost 

— through  neglect" 


<T 


says  HELENA  RUBINSTEIN 

O  POSSESS  beauty,   and   to   lose   it, 
is   truly   the   greatest   of   all   follies! 

Signs  of  neglect,  such  as  fine  cross-weaving 
lines,  blackheads,  a  slight  droop  of  the  chin, 
otHiiess,  large  pores,  quickly  become  exag- 
gerated and  detract  from  the  fresh  charm 
of  youth. 

MME.  HELENA  RUBINSTEIN,  known 
the  world  over  as  the  originator  of  scientific 
beauty  culture,  has  prepared,  after  years  of 
research,  a  number  of  special  aids  to,  beauty. 
The  world  of  fashion  has  long  profited  from 
these  methods,  which  are  now  available  to 
you  —  for  Mme.  Rubinstein's  greatest  de- 
sire is   to   bring   beauty  to  every  woman.

Leatrice  Joy,  with  the  beauty,  the  charm  and  the  temperament  of  April 

The  Girl  on  the  Cover 

By  Cell  York 


IN  Hollywood  they  call  Leatrice  Joy,  I-etty, 
the  chameleon. 
It  all  depends  upon  the  circumstances,  the 
background  and   the  clothes  she  wears,   the 
type  of  work  Leatrice  does. 

You  can't  make  a  star  with  electric  lights. 
It  is  only  those  whom  the  public  makes  who 
achieve  lasting  stardom.  The  public  made 
Leatrice.  The  public  loves  her.  From  Gold- 
wyn  to  Dc  Mille,  including  her  brilliant  per- 
formances in  "Manslaughter"  and  "The  Ten 
Commandments,"  Leatrice  has  had  one  of 
the  strongest  fan  followings.  Right  now  she 
is  having  a  slump  in  her  work.  She  needs 
a  change. 

Leatrice  was  born  in  New  Orleans,  was 
queen  of  the  Mardi  Gras,  and  star  in  "The 
Folly  of  Revenge,"  a  fearful  film  made  by  a 
local  company  called  the  Nola  Film. 

It  was  their  first  and  only,  but  it  decided 
Leatrice  on  her  career.  She  shipped  to  Xew 
York  with  her  mother,  registered  at  all  the 


studios  and  got  her  first  chance  with  Mauric* 
Tournier. 

He  was  making  "The  Pride  of  the  Clan" 
with  Mary  Pickford.  Mary  wanted  to  rest 
during  a  rehearsal  and  Tournier.  looking  over 
the  extra  girls  to  find  one  to  take  the  star's 
place,  saw  Leatrice. 

It  was  Leatrice's  opportunity  and  she 
grabbed  it.  She  acted  the  Pickford  part  all  over 
the  lot.  She  did  it  so  well  Tournier  remem- 
bered and  put  her  in  his  next  picture  as  a 
salaried  player. 

To  Paramount  to  make  a  series  of  Black 
Diamond  comedies  she  journeyed  and  then 
westward  to  Hollywood.  Her  first  real  part 
came  ID  "Ladies  Must  Live."  That  won  her 
a  Goldwvn  contract,  then  one,  still  existing, 
with  Cecil  De  Mille. 

Today  Hollywood  wonders  about  her  shat- 
tered romance  with  John  Gilbert.  They 
married  when  Jack  was  a  minor  star,  only  to 
be  divorced  before  their  baby  was  born.

Studio  News  and  Gossip — East  and  West      [continued  from  page  4i] 


Our  maiden  aunts  used  to  remark  that  unusual  excellence  was  never  the 
result  of  chance  and  here  is  King  Vidor  demonstrating  same.  King, 
knowing  that  tempo,  the  quality  of  timing,  is  one  of  the  most  important 
things  in  a  picture,  keeps  a  metronome  on  his  desk  to  tick  rhythms  for 

scenes  and  music 


Until  he  hired  one  William  Beaudine  to 
direct  him. 

The  second  day  of.  the  picture  Doug  arrived 
leisurely  and  smiling  at  quarter  to  ten. 

He  was  confronted  by  an  irate  director 
breathing  fire. 

Beaudine  looked  at  his  watch.  "  It's  quarter 
to  ten,"  he  said  coldly. 

Doug  consulted  his,  and  agreed. 

"The  call  was  for  nine  thirty"  said  Beau- 
dine. "And  when  I  say  nine-thirty,  I  mean 
nine-thirty,  and  not  quarter  to  ten.  I'm 
just  as  lazy  as  you  are.  you  know.  But  I  get 
here  at  nine-thirty  and  I  guess  you  can." 

Doug  has.  And  the  consequence  is  that 
"That's  My  Baby,"  the  new  MacLean  pic- 
ture, promises  to  be  a  riot.  It's  one  of  the 
best  things  Doug  has  ever  done. 

THE  Sixty  Club,  which  is  the  Hollywood 
film  colony's  exclusive  dancing  club,  had  a 
costume  ball  recently,  and  it  was  a  huge  suc- 
cess. Marion  Davies  started  the  fashion  of 
costume  balls,  and  we  bid  fair  to  be  quite 
overwhelmed  by  them. 

Elinor  Glyn  and  Eric  von  Stroheim  were 
the  judges  and  some  very  gorgeous  prizes 
were  awarded. 

The  prize  for  best  and  most  beautifully 
costumed  couple  went  to  Pola  Negri  and 
Rudolph  Valentino.  They  wore  Spanish  cos- 
tumes, both  in  cloth  of  gold,  and  they  cer- 
tainly looked  stunning.  'When  they  took  the 
floor  together  and  did  a  glorified  tango  they 
were  a  sensation.  The  prize  for  the  most 
beautiful  costume  went  to  Dorothy  Cummings, 
as  a  spirit  of  the  Red  Cross,  and  the  most 
humorous  to  Ruth  Roland,  who  wore  a  whole 
circus  outfit  in  a  little  tent  around  her  waist 
and  on  her  hat.         [  continued  on  page  92  ] 


Later  came  word  from  Denny  over  the  wire 
that  all  were  safe.  They  had  been  driven 
into  a  small  Mexican  port,  which  was  without 
telegraph  service,  by  a  shortage  of  gasoline. 

They  laid  over  until  after  the  storm  and 
then  continued  their  fishing  trip. 

"\X7E  have  a  good  many  laughs 
"  ™  handed  us  in  the  picture  busi- 
ness every  now  and  then.  Here's  the 
best  one  I've  had  this  month. 

Down  at  M-G-M  they  are  making 
Hawthorne's  American  classic,  "The 
Scarlet  Letter,"  a  thrilling  story  of 
our  Puritan  Fathers,  as  Lillian  Gish's 
next  starring  vehicle. 

And  who  was  selected  to  direct  this 
American  classic?  Victor  Seastrom, 
the  talented  Swedish  director. 

For  her  lead,  Miss  Gish  has  Lars 
Hansen,  known  as  "the  Barrymore  of 
Sweden."  He  portrays  the  typical 
early  American. 

But  is  this  so  funny?  The  greatest 
life  of  Lincoln  I  ever  read  was  written 
by  an  Englishman. 

DURING  the  decent  labor  troubles  in 
Florida,  which  had  the  railroads  practically 
paralyzed  for  a  time,  Tom  Gcraghty  had  a 
Paramount  company  making  a  picture  there. 
He  wanted  to  get  back  to  New  York  with  his 
troupe  but  railroad  accommodations  were  not 
to  be  had. 

As  a  last  resort,  Gcraghty  got  the  governor 
of  Florida  on  the  phone  and  said: 

"If  you  don't  get  us  transportation,  we'll 
leave  your  old  slate  Bat." 

Tom  neglected  to  state  whether  they  ex- 
pected to  walk  or  By.  Anyway  the  threat 
had  the  desired  effect.  The  Governor  fixed 
them  up  with  a  special  train  and  after  crossing 
and  recrossing  Florida  so  many  times  they 


were  dizzy,  the  companv  finallv  reached  New 
York. 

AS  I  sit  here  at  my  trusty  typewriter,  a 
-'Melegram  is  thrust  into  my  unwilling  hand. 
It  is  from  C.  B.  De  Mille  and  announces  that 
he  has  just  named  Jetta  Goudal  his  newest 
star. 

Certainly  speaks  well  of  Mr.  De  Mille  as  a 
"lion  tamer,"  for  this  is  the  same  Jetta  who 
is  suing  Paramount  for  breach  of  contract  and 
they  allege  they  couldn't  handle  her. 

Evidently  Cecil  knows  how  to  handle  these 
people  with  temperament.  Wonder  if  his 
system  is  the  same  as  that  of  Dimitri  Bucho- 
wetshi  who,  when  he  hits  the  temperamental 
snag,  simply  develops  so  much  himself  that 
there  isn't  any  room  on  the  stage  for  the 
artist's  temperament. 

"  T_TOW  do  you  like  my  new  hat?" 

-*-  -*-So  Colleen  Moore  hailed  me  the  other 
day  over  at  the  studio. 

I  looked  it  over  carefully,  for  I  am  proud 
that  Colleen  should  value  my  opinion  in 
millinery. 

"Great."  said  I.  "Prettiest  thing  I  ever 
saw  you  have  on.  And  that  dress  too,  it's  very 
becoming. " 

"Glad  you  like  them,"  said  Colleen.  "My 
husband,  John  McCormick,  likes  them  too. 
They're  part  of  my  wardrobe  for  'Ella  Cinders.' 
The  hat  cost  three-eighty-five  and  the  dress 
$42.00  even,  in  a  department  store  basement." 

And  still  women  try  to  tell  you  they  dress 
for  men. 

DOUGLAS  MACLEAN,  who  has  had  his 
own  starring  unit   for  some  years  and  is 
now   releasing  over   Paramount,   had  a   new 

experience  recently. 

Naturally  a  star,  out  on  his  own  gets  pretty 
used  to  running  things  according  to  his  own 
ideas,  and  coming  and  going  about  when  it 
suits  him.    Doug  wasn't  any  exception. 


This,  boys  and  girls,  is  Verne  Por- 
ter, chief  editor  of  Paramount's 
story  department.  Verne  just  loves 
to  get  big,  wonderful  scenarios 
from  amateurs,  so  mail  that  story 
you  have  about  Aunt  Minnie  to 
him  at  Paramount's  eastern  stu- 
dio, Astoria,  L.  I.,  and  help  keep 
him  busy  and  happy

For  §ueen  Elizabeth 
there  was  no  finer  gift 

When  the  mighty  Earl  of  Leicester  sought  a  gift  for  Queen  Eliza- 
beth in  the  hope  of  winning  her  favor,  he  could  select  nothing 
finer  than  a  guild  watch. 

In  those  days,  guild  watches  were  the  ornaments  ot  princes. 
Only  a  few  could  afford  to  own  them. 

Today,  guild  watches,  far  more  accurate,  and  far  surpassing 
Queen  Elizabeth's  in  workmanship  and  design,  can  be  purchased 
at  moderate  prices  in  every  American  city  and  town. 

Yet  even  now  there  is  no  riner  gift.  Everywhere,  a  Gruen 
Watch,  made  by  a  modern  guild  of  watchmakers,  meets  with 
prompt  appreciation. 

In  nearly  every  communitv  the  better  icwelers  can  show  you 
the  Gruen  Guild  Watches  pictured  here,  as  well  as  many  other

Poor 
Percy 


The  most  persecuted 
person  in  pictures 


Here  he  is  in  "The  Street  of  For- 
gotten    Men."      (center      circle) 
Lookit  that  agony ' 

"Lord  Jim"  (below)  tortured 

pitiful  Percy  some  more.     In 

that     he     lost     everything — 

except  his  honor 


Percy  Marmont  has  suffered  more 
than  any  other  man  for  his  suc- 
cess. Mark  Sabre  in  "If  Winter 
Comes"  did  that  to  him.  Mark 
proved  Percy  the  best  heart- 
broken man  in  Hollywood 


In  this  shot  (lower  left)  from 
"Alcma  of  the  South  Seas," 
he  seems  even  to  have  lost 
his  razor.  But  he  gets  his 
salary  every  Saturday 


For  sheer  suffering,  hor- 
ror and  fear  operate  your 
optics  on  this  still  from 
"The  Legend  of  Holly- 
wood." Percy  was  per- 
forated with  poison  for 
this  plot.    Poor  Percy! 


Here,  just  to  prove 
he  can  do  it,  is  Percy 
cheerful.  This  is 
Percy  outside  the 
studio.  But  observe 
Stalky,  the  pup. 
Doesn't  he  look  kind 
of  unhappy  to  you?

With  many  a  star  has  Eugene  O'Brien  clinched  in  the  final  fadeout 

but  never  with  Gloria  Swanson.       Now  the  two  will  be  together  in

Harold  Lloyd,  Cedric  Gibbons,  Mr.  and  Mrs.

more,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lionel  Barn-more,  Peggy

Ward  Crane,  Kathleen  Clifford,  and  Mr  and 
Mrs.  Manuei  Reachi  (Agnes  Ayres). 

DICK  BARTHELMESS  turned  to  a  lady 
at  a  Hollywood  dinner  party  the  other 
evening  and  said,  "Have  you  one  of  these  new 
electric  ice  plants  in  your  new  house?" 

The  lady  beamed  upon  him,  and  went  into 
a  long  and  very  detailed  description  of  this 
and  other  features  of  said  new  house. 

I  cornered  Dick  afterwards,  however,  and 
demanded  an  explanation.  "  You  didn't  know- 
that  lady,  and  you  didn't  know  she  was  build- 
ing a  new  house.     What's  the  idea?'' 

"Well,"  said  Dick,  with  his  nicest  smile, 
"I've  discovered  that  the  way  to  be  a  social 
success  in  Hollywood  nowadays  is  to  ask 
every  lady  about  something  in  her  new  house. 
They  all  have  them.    It  hasn't  failed  yet." 

Maybe  that's  the  explanation,  but  anyway 
Dick  is  having  a  social  triumph  in  Hollywood. 
He  hasn't  been  here  in  a  long  time  and  every- 
body is  so  glad  to  have  him  back. 

CHARLIE  CHAPLIN  is  getting  just  as  bad 
as  any  other  proud  father.  He  will  now 
tell  you  all  about  how  little  Charlie,  Jr..  whose 
age  is  still  reckoned  in  months,  recognizes  him 
when  he  comes  home  from  work,  how  he  says 
"Da-da"  and  other  brilliant  remarks  like  that. 
I  have  never  before  seen  Charlie  so  enthu- 
siastic about  anything  as  he  is  about  his 
handsome  little  son.  Really,  the  baby  is  a 
perfect  darling.     If  only  the  next  one,  whose 


arrival  is  now  very  imminent,  will  be  a  girl, 
and  give  Charlie  a  daughter.  I  believe  he  will 
begin  to  know  the  only  real  happiness  he  has 
ever  had. 

T  ITTLE  Bill  Harjt.  who  is  going  on  four, 
-'-'went  to  visit  his  father  the  other  day.  His 
father  and  mother  are  divorced,  you  know, 
and  little  Bill  lives  with  his  mother,  but  he 
goes  for  a  few  davs  now  and  then  to  stav  with 
Bill  Hart. 

When  he  got  ready  to  go  and  big  Bill  was 
telling  him  good-by,  emotion  overcame  the 
father,  who  adores  his  son.  Turning  his  head 
aside,  he  said,  "Son.  will  you  kiss  me  good-by 
now,  and  go  back  to  your  mother?" 

The  child  regarded  him  gravely  a  moment 
and  then  said,  "I'll  kiss  you  good-by,  Daddy, 
if  you  promise  me  not  to  cry.  You're  too  big 
to  cry. 

A  yfOST  of  the  Hollywood  people  who  have 
•'•"^seen  "The  Sea-Beast  "  were  amazed  at  the 
lack  of  technical  skill  shown  in  portraying  the 
famous  white  whale.  Moby  Dick. 

With  the  present  tremendous  advancement 
in  camera  work  and  trick  printing,  it  does  seem 
that  much  more  could  be  done  with  the  se- 
quences of  the  battle  between  the  whale  and 
the  man.  As  they  are.  they  are  most  in- 
adequate. 

And  in  passing,  we  do  hope  that  John  Barry- 
more,  the  greatest  stage  actor  of  our  gen- 
eration, isn't  going  to  get  a  complex  for  doing 
mad  scenes.  He  imported  one  into  "Beau 
Brummel"  without  a  great  deal  of  cause  or 
authority,  and  he  has  done  a  bit  of  "  Jckyll 
and  Hyde"  in  this  new  one.  which  it  seems  to 
me  detracts  from  both  story  and  character- 
ization.

Perfectly 
Natural 

Pompeian  Bloom  gives 

your  cheeks  a  color 

exquisitely  natural 

By  MADAME  JEANNETTE 

Famous  cosmetician,  retained  by  The  Pompeian 

Laboratories  as   a   consultant  to  give  authentic 

advice  retarding  the  care  of  the  skin   and  the 

proper  use  of  beauty  preparations. 

£7 RECENTLY  overheard  one  of  my 
C/  friends  say  to  another:  "You,  for  one, 
need  no  rouge,  my  dear.  What  lovely 
natural  coloring!"  But  the  truth  was  this 
—like  thousands  of  other  women,  she  had 
found  a  rouge  that  gave  her  cheeks  the 
exquisite  natural  coloring  of  a  girl  in  her 
'teens.   That  rouge  is  Pompeian  Bloom. 

Today  women  everywhere  realize  the 
necessity  of  using  rouge  that  matches 
perfectly  their  natural  skin-tones.  And 
when  they  use  the  right  shade  of  Bloom 
the  wholly  natural  effect  is  achieved. 

From  the  shade  chart  you  can  easily 
select  the  particular  shade  of  Pompeian 
Bloom  for  your  type  of  complexion. 

SHADE  CHART  for  selecting 
your  correct  tone  of  Pompeian  Bloom 

Medium  Skin:  The  average  American 
woman  has  the  medium  skin-tone— pleas- 
antly warm  in  tone,  with  a  faint  sugges- 

When 


tion  of  old  ivory  or  sun-kissed  russet. 
The  Medium  tone  of  Pompeian  Bloom 
just  suits  this  type  of  skin. 

If  you  are  slightly  tanned,  you  may  find 
the  Orange  tint  more  becoming.  And 
sometimes  women  with  medium  skin 
who  have  very  dark  hair  get  a  brilliant 
result  with  the  Oriental  tint. 

Olive  Skin:  Women  with  the  true  olive 
skin  are  generally  dark  of  eyes  and  hair — 
and  require  the  Dark  tone  of  Pompeian 
Bloom.  If  you  wish  to  accent  the  bril- 
liancy of  your  complexion,  the  Oriental 
tint  will  accomplish  it. 

Pink  Skin:  This  is  the  youthful  skin, 
most  often  found  in  blondes  or  red-haired 
women,  and  should  use  the  Oriental  tint. 

White  Skin:  If  you  have  this  rare  type 
of  skin,  use  the  Light  tone  of  Bloom. 

Special  Note:  An  unusual  coloring  of 
hair  and  eyes  sometimes  demands  a  dif- 
ferent selection  of  Bloom-tone  from  those 
above.  If  in  doubt,  write  a  description  of 
your  skin,  hair  and  eyes  to  me  for  special 
advice.

in  Canada).  Purity  and  satisfaction

The  blonde  with  very  fair 

skin  finds  a  natural  tone

MacLean's  kiddie  in  "That's  My  Baby" 


HpHE  Beverly  Hills  bridle  path  on  a  Sunday 
■*-  morning  is  becoming  a  really  lovely  sight, 
and  in  time  if  things  keep  on  will  compare 
favorably  with  Rotten  Row  in  London,  or  the 
famous  Golden  Gate  bridle  path  in  San 
Francisco. 

Not  a  little  of  its  gay  appearance  and  in- 
terest is  furnished  by  the  number  of  well 
known  screen  celebrities,  who  turn  out  every 
sunny  Sunday. 

Recently  I  saw  Mr.  and  Mrs  Tom  Mix 
riding,  on  two  gorgeous  looking  horses.  Mrs. 
Mix  brought  her  riding  clothes  and  boots  back 
from  London,  and  her  white  whipcord  breeches, 
orange  vest,  and  tan  hat  gave  her  a  tremen- 
dously smart  appearance.  Virginia  Yalli  and 
Julanne  Johnson  were  riding  with  Norman 
Kerry,  whose  roan  is  quite  the  envy  of  all. 
Julanne  sticks  to  the  very  severe  black  habit 
and  the  horse-show  black  derby.  Florence 
Vidor  and  Catherine  Bennett  were  riding, 
accompanied  by  George  Fitzmaurice.  Mrs. 
Vidor  is  an  exceptional  horsewoman,  and  rides 
with  all  the  dash  and  daring  of  the  typical 
Southerner.  Her  habit  is  tan.  and  she  wears 
a  smartly  tied  stock,  and  a  severe  tan  riding 
hat.  Dorothy  Mackaill.  whose  English  origin 
comes  out  in  pronounced  fashion  when  she 
gets  atop  a  thoroughbred,  was  riding  with 
Jack  Mulhall.  She  affects  the  sleeveless  coat, 
and  wore  no  hat  at  all,  for  which  no  one  who 
has  ever  seen  her  shining  blond  hair  can 
blame  her.  Fred  Thompson  and  Frances 
Marion,  after  a  morning  in  their  tanbark 
riding  ring,  came  down  for  a  canter  on  the 
path. 

COLLEEN  MOORE  had  a  housewarming 
for  her  new  studio  bungalow  the  other  day. 
It  was  grand  food  and  lots  of  fun.  for  dozens 
of  girls  were  packed  into  the  small  space,  and 
everybody  talked  at  once  and  thoroughly 
enjoyed  themselves. 

Norma  Talmadge  came  in  from  her  bunga- 
low next  door,  with  very  little  on,  1  must  say, 
as  she  was  doing  sonic  intimate  scenes  from 
"kiki."  Constance  was  there,  too.  very 
smart  in  one  of  those  new  three  piece  wool 
sport  frocks.  Blanche  Sweet  and  Bessie  Love — 
the  inseparables — came  together,  Bessie  in  a 
sleek,  severely  tailored  dress  of  the  kind  she 


is  now  affecting,  and  Blanche  moaning  be- 
cause she  hasn't  been  able  to  find  a  new  way 
to  cut  her  hair.  Florence  Vidor  had  on  a 
purple  hat,  that  I  am  sure  would  rival  Iris 
March's  green  one  if  only  there  were  a  Michael 
Arlen  to  describe  it.  Mrs.  Harold  Lloyd 
looked  adorable  all  in  white.  Mrs.  Tom  MLx 
had  on  the  most  fascinating  sport  wrap  with 
a  big  fur  collar,  and  a  canary  silk  hat.  after 
the  famous  gigalo  model.  Dorothy  Devore 
sported  the  most  abbreviated  hair-cut  Holly- 
wood has  yet  seen.  Frances  Marion  arrived 
in  a  brand-new  blue  town  car.  with  a  little 
seating  space  in  back  looking  like  a  velvet- 
lined  jewel-case.  Ruth  Roland.  Claire  Wind- 
sor, Lois  Moran.  Virginia  Valli,  and  lots  of 
other  people  I  can't  remember  were  there. 

Colleen  declared  it  was  a  farewell  for  the 
bungalow  as  well. as  a  housewarming.  for  she 
is  going  to  move  her  dressing  quarters  over 
to  the  new  First  National  studio  and  take  the 
bungalow  right  along. 

pi.ORENCE  VIDOR  was  reading  from 
■L  Louisa  M.  Alcoa's  classic  "Little  Women" 
to  her  seven-year-old  daughter.  Suzanne. 

She  came  to  the  part  where  the  mother  of 
the  four  "'little  women''  was  giving  her  girls 
advice  about  the  future,  and  saying  that  the 
proudest  and  happiest  thing  that  can  happen 
to  a  girl  is  to  be  chosen  as  a  wife  by  some  good 
man. 

"Pooh.''  said  young  Suzanne,  "I  don't 
think  that  at  all.  I  may  get  married,  or  I  may 
not.  but  the  proudest  thing  that  could  happen 
to  me  would  be  to  be  an  architect,  and  that's 
what  I'm  going  to  be  anyway." 

"NJATURAl.l.V.  the  opening  of  any  John 
•1-N  Barrymore  picture  in  Hollywood  would 
be  an  occasion.  But  the  opening  of  "The 
Sca-Heast''  was  remarkable  for  a  number  of 
exciting  events.  First  of  all.  Barrymore  him- 
self was  present  and  made  a-  speech  which 
reminded  all  the  old-timers  present  of  his 
illustrious  father.  Maurice  Barrymore,  con- 
ceded by  everyone  to  have  been  the  wittiest 
man  of  his  time.  Secondly.  Marion  Davies. 
who  acted  as  hostess,  made  a  public  speech 
and   did  it    charmingly.     And   thirdly,   Jack

False  Faces      [contauedfrompagi 


Gaillard  I'aterson  De  Kovcn — if  she  should 
ever  be  the  mother  of  his  son — a  De  Koven — 
and  he  should  come  to  find  out  that  the 
menial  blood  of  Means  mingled  with  the  blood 
of  the  De  Slovens  in  the  person  of  their  son — 
what  then?    Oh,  what  then? 

There  was,  too,  a  weary,  abstract  desire  in 
Lilith's  heart  to  be  honest  with  Oaillard  for 
honesty's  sake.  It  would  be  nice  to  be  able 
to  be  herself,  to  say  to  Oaillard,  "Here  I  am, 
for  what  I  am,  take  me  or  leave  me — " 

Bui  if  he  should  leave  her — 

T  ILITH  was  fundamentally  honest.  She 
■*-'  had  never  deceived  herself  about  herself. 
She  had  known,  back  in  East  Machias,  that  as 
Mildred  P.  Means  she  hadn't  a  chance,  not  a 
chance  in  the  world.  She  knew  that  you  could 
call  a  garden  rose  a  garlic  and  nobody  would 
believe  you.  The  rose  would  have  its  pri;e~just 
the  same.  But  she  knew,  too,  that  you  couldn't 
keep  on  insisting  that  the  remote,  singular 
moon  is  green  cheese  for  fear  that  people 
might  begin  to  think  it  was,  might  distain  it. 
The  fact  that,  as  Mildred  P.  Means,  she  had 
youth  and  slenderness,  ivory  skin,  red  lips, 
meant  nothing  at  all.  Lots  of  girls  in  Bre- 
emby's  Dry  Goods  Emporium  had  the  same 
qualifications  and  what  did  it  get  them — ■ 
Preemby's  Dry  Goods  Emporium  and,  maybe, 
a  young  man  from  the  Leather  Goods  Factor}'. 
She  knew,  also,  that  she  had  no  brains.  That 
is,  none  to  reckon  with  as  weapons  against  the 
world.  Biologically,  it  was  likely  that  there 
was  something  spongy  and  gray  in  her  beauti- 
fully arranged  cranium,  but  having  said  so 
much  you  had  said  it  all. 

No,  the  only  thing  that  she  could  do  was  to 
step  from  East  Machias,  a  different  person. 
She  took  six  steps.  The  first  was  to  borrow 
money  from  her  reluctant  and  unconvinced 
mother.  The  second  was  to  go  to  New  York 
as  Lilith  Flame.  The  third  was  to  have  her 
dark  hair  touched  up  to  a  bronze  aureole.  The 
fourth  was  to  present  herself  at  the  X-EUent 
Studios  clad  in  a  costume  that  the  female 
instinct,  in  lieu  of  a  brain,  had  dictated  to  her. 
The  fifth  was  to  appear  in  a  picture  as  a  lady 
crook  with  taking  ways.  The  sixth — but  the 
world  is  in  replete  possession  of  the  facts  about 
the  sixth. 

There  had  been  four  years  of  efflorescent 
glory.  Fame.  Money.  Family  gratitude. 
Pride.  Thrills.  Excitements.  Sensations. 
Love  affairs.  Yes,  there  had  been  love  affairs — 
now  and  then.  She  had  slept  soundly  through 
these  mere  titillations  of  the  senses.  She  had 
played  them  as  one  plays  an  indifferent  game, 
abstractedly,  for  the  mere  fun  of  gaming. 
Then  she  had  met  Gaillard  De  Koven. 

They  had  played  together  in  a  picture.  She 
had  fallen  violently  in  love  with  him.  Surely 
in  love  with  him.  Humanly  in  love  with  him. 
No  doubt  about  that. 

One  day,  on  the  set,  they  had  been  playing 
a  love  scene,  to  the  wail  of  violins  and  the 
threadbare  voice  of  the  director.  Gaillard  had 
muttered  to  her,  face  toward  the  camera,  "I 
love  you — beautiful  among  women — I  love 
you — "  He  had  added,  face  away  from  the 
camera,  "I  mean  it,  Lilith-bef ore-Eve — /  mean 
it." 

In  that  moment  Lilith's  past  existence, 
si  niggle  and  glory  alike,  faded  into  a  dim, 
forgotten  prologue  to  this  crowning  moment. 
In  that  moment,  in  those  words,  the  very  face 
of  life  was  bared  to  her,  glorious  and  awful. 
In  that  moment  her  honesty  struggled  and  was 
born. 

The  director  said,  "That  scene  was  damn 
good.    Camera!" 

Lilith  was  dressing  to  receive  Oaillard. 
The  facial  ritual  was'  complete.  And  Katy, 
the  personal  maid  from  West  (not  East) 
Machias,  was  manipulating  the  two  silken 
loops  that  did  duty  as  fasteners.     Katy  was 


from  West  Machias  and  had  come  up  in  the 
world  with  her  mistress.  She  had  never  quite 
got  used  to  things,  but  she  was  trained  to  do 
her  duty  and  keep  her  mouth  shut  and  she  had 
learned  these  A's  and  B's  of  starry  servitude. 

Lilith  said,  anxiously,  "How  do  I  look  to- 
night, Katy?" 

"  You  look  good,  Miss,  real  good — " 

"Oh,  Katy,  not  good — don't  say  that — that 
word.  It  makes  me  remember  what — what 
I  have  got  to  do — " 

Katy  ignored  the  reprimand.  She  knew  that 
it  wasn't  Mildred  P.  Means  speaking,  but  only 
Lilith  Flame  who  had  to  say  things  like  that 
in  order  to  earn  her  salary,  and  as  God  was  her 
judge  Katy  Toomis  wouldn't  have  had  any- 
thing happen  to  Lilith  Flame's  salary.  What 
the  little  Toomis'  at  home  would  do  without 
Lilith  Flame's  salary  Katy  Toomis  didn't  know 
and  couldn't  imagine. 

''Are  you  aiming  to  get  married,  Miss  Lilith?" 
Katy  inquired,  dusting  a  mere  veil  of  powder 
over  the  gleaming  shoulders. 

Lilith  lit  .a 'gold-tipped  Russian  cigarette. 
She  blew  distorted  frailities  into  the  carved, 
reflective  mirror.  "Marriage — "  she  mused 
aloud,  "Yes,  I  suppose  I  am,  Katy — I  never 
thought  I  would  come  to  it — I -have  always 


Cautious  Griffith 

"TJUNGRY"  is  his  name,  because 
■'■■'■he  likes  raw  .meat — fresh — 
anywhere.  "Hungry"  is  a  lion  and 
he  has  a  lion's  share  of  the  plot  of 
Ray  Griffith's  new  picture  "We't 
Paint." 

"Come  on,  Mr.  Griffith.  Get  ac- 
quainted with  'Hungry.'  He'll  eat 
out  of  your  hand,"  said  his  trainer. 
"Yeh!"  Ray  replied.  "And  he'd 
just  as  soon  eat  out  of  my  leg !" 


said,  and  meant,  that  marriage  is  not  for  me. 
It  will  interfere  with  my  career.  It  will  dis- 
illusion sonie  of  my  fans.  It  is— bad  business. 
Back  in  East  Machias  I  thought  of  marriage 
as  dish  water  and  whining  children  in  dirty 
rompers,  shrieking — here  in  New  York  I 
thought  of  marriage  as  reeking  with  another 
woman's  perfume,  as  the  hot  "blare  of  the 
divorce  courts— discontent — but  now — now  I 
know  better — marriage  means  being  together 
for  all  of  your  lives — oh,  Katy,  think,  for  all 
of  your  lives — " 

"  Yes'm." 

"It  would  mean  Gaillard  and  me.  never  to 
be  parted.  Oh,  Katy,  come  in  tonight  and  see 
him.  Come  in  on  some  pretext  or  other  before 
we  leave  for  the  night  club.  1  want  you  to 
tell  me  that  I  am  not  mad.  that  I  haven't  had 
star-dust  thrown  in  my  eyes,  blinding  me — 
Katy,  there  is  nothing  in  the  world  real  to  me 
but  Oaillard — " 

"  Xo'm." 

A  bell  tinkled,  muffled,  mournful.  The 
padding,  noiseless  feet  of  Takio  merely  sug- 
gested that  the  plaintive  call  was  being 
answered.  Lilith  murmured.  "Oaillard — " 
and  Katy  retired  on  disciplined,  orthopedic 
shoes. 

"We  have  an  hour  before  we  need  to  go." 
Oaillard  was  sitting  beside  Lilith  on  the  furred 
chaise-longue. 

"Yes." 

Lilith's  voice  was  hushed,  low.  When  she 
spoke  to  Oaillard  she  felt  as  though  she  was 
speaking  in  a  chapel,  bathed  in  stained  glass 
glory,  at  orisons — 


"This  room  is  thick  with  dreams  of  you. 
Lilith.  Marvelous  the  way  it  breathes  you, 
suggests  you.  everywhere.  I  could  come  int. > 
this  room  alone  and  evoke  your  lovely  pres- 
ence— you  would  be  here,  beside  me,  beautiful 
and  strange." 

"Not  strange,  dearest.  Not  strange  to 
you." 

"Yes.  strange,  and  I  like  it  to  be  so,  Lilith. 
Some  men — but  some  men  are  amateurs, 
blunderers.  They  want  to  see  a  woman  in  the 
blare  of  sunlight,  ugly  and  white.  They  want 
to  know  all  of  her  secrets,  penetrate  all  of  her 
mysteries.  And  most  women — well,  there  is 
no  mystery  to  most  women.  They  are  as 
frank  as  bobbed  hair  and  middy  blouses.  They 
are  about  as  uninteresting.  Lovely,  there  is 
one,  only  one  old-fashioned  thing  I  want  of 
you.  and  that  is — to  marry  me.  I  want  to  put 
a  slave-chain  of  beaten  gold  around  your  silver 
ankle.  I  want  to  bind  you  with  metal  chains, 
to  immure  you  in  Moroccan  walls — centuries 
ago — and  now,  now  again — " 

Lilith  felt  her  honesty  turn  and  square  it- 
self, bluntly.  Its  crude,  unavoidable  head 
seemed  to  be  reared,  looking  at  her.  waiting. 
It  seemed  to  be  saying  to  her,  articulately, 
"Well,  Mildred,  what  are  you  going  to  do 
)h>:i-.'  Are  you  going  to  lie  to  him?  Are  you 
evil  enough  to  lie  in  the  very  face  of  Love?" 

The  thing  which  she  called  her  honesty  but 
.which  was.  in  fact,  her  conscience,  a  conscience 
reared  in  Sunday  School,  on  the  old  testament 
where  the  Ged  of  Israel  was  an  avenging  God, 
besieged  her.  The  voice  of  her  conscience,  a 
raucous,  ugh'  voice  it  had — cried  out.  "Come 
Mildred,  down  with  the  mask — false  face — 
false  face — false  face." 

"And  now  again,  as  in  ancient  Babylon — 
queen  and  slave — king  and  Ptolemy." 

"False  face — false  face — false  face." 

"Oaillard.  I  want  to  tell  you  something. 
I  have  a  confession  to  make." 

"How  strange  your  voice  sounds.  Lilith. 
Hard.    Loud.    As  if  you  hate  me." 

"Maybe  it  does.  I  don't  know.  One  thing 
I  do  know.  I  love  you.  Not  hate.  Love.  But 
because  I  love  you  .  .  .  " 

"My  beautiful,  my  child,  confessions  are 
out  of  date,  they  are  obsolete." 

"I  know.  I  know  all  that.  And  they  are 
nobody's  business.  But  there  comes  a  time — 
this  is  one  of  them.  There  is  something  that 
I  must  tell  you.  Don't  stop  me,  now  that  I 
have  found  the  courage." 

"TF  you  mean — do  you  mean  that  you  al- 
*■  ready  have  a  husband?  It  won't  matter. 
Beloved.  Don't  distress  yourself.  I  would 
scale  a  higher  wall  than  that  of  a  husband." 

"No.  No,  not  a  husband.  Oh.  Oaillard.  I 
am  not — not  what  you  think  I  am." 

"  You  have  a  Past?  Ah.  Lilith.  Lilith-before- 
Eve.  you  could  not  have  so  fascinating  a  Pres- 
ent if  there  had  not  been  a  red  and  fruitful 
Past.  I  am  man  of  the  world  enough  to  know- 
that.  I  know  that  there  must  be  strangely 
flavored  roots  to  bear  such  swooning  flowers. 
Life  loved  you  first,  let  us  put  it  like  that.  Life 
loved  you  iirst  and  gave  you  lotus  hands,  pale 
skin  like  dreams  and  eyes  like  sleeping  jewels — 
ah.  well — " 

"You  don't  understand.  It  isn't  that — that 
kind  of  o  thing.  You  are  making  it  so  awfully 
hard  for  me.    Can't  you — can't  you  try?" 

"  'Awfully' — what  odd  words  you  are  using 
today,  my  Love.  'Awfully'  " — Oaillard  gave 
a  little  shudder  as  if  the  colloquialism  grated 
upon  him  ever  so  little  more  than  he  could 
bear.  "Let  us  not  speak  of  this  again."  he 
said,  taking  her  cold  hand,  stroking  it.  speak- 
ing in  his  smooth,  persuasive,  best  De  Koven 
voice,  "it  is  past — it  is  gone.  It  is  what  you 
ore  that  matters.  I  see  the  soul  of  the  lonely 
steppes  in  your  inscrutable  eyes.     I  see  the

and  it's  so  easy  to  use 
Deodo  every  day 

by 
Letitia  Hadley 

Did  you  ever  have  an  uncomfortable  sus- 
picion that  you  were  not  just  as  irreproach- 
ably fresh  and  dainty  as  you'd  like  to  be?  What 
woman  hasn't! .  .  .  And  how  impossible  it  seems, 
sometimes,  to  prevent  that  distressing  odor  of 
perspiration,  when  you're  busy  and  hurried! 

But  it  can  be  prevented  so  easily — prevented 
all  day  long.  Just  by  dusting  on  Deodo,  the  new 
powdered  deodorant,  while  you're  dressing. 

You'll  like  Deodo — it's  so  pleasant  to  use,  so 
fine  and  white  and  faintly  fragrant.  Dust  it  over 
the  body  and  rub  it  under  the  arms.  It  instantly 
absorbs  and  neutralizes  all  body  odors.  It  is 
soothing  and  healing  to  the  skin.  It  does  not 
seal  the  pores  nor  check  essential  perspiration. 
And  it  won't  damage  clothing, 
no  matter  how  delicate. 

Deodo  is  wonderful  to  use  on 
sanitary  napkins  —  so  effective 
and  so  safe!  Try  it! 
Deodo  is  sold  at  most  drug- 
yW  gists'  and  toilet  goods  counters.

Barrymore  hailed  his  leading  lady,  Dolores 
Costcllo,  as  the  coming  great  artist  of  the 
screen. 

The  audience  was  an  exceptionally  distin- 
guished one,  one  larpe  party  coming  direct 
from  a  dinner  at  Marion  Davies'  home. 

Marion  herself  wore  a  frock  of  rose  chiffon, 
trimmed  with  little  ostrich  feather  sprays, 
and  very  long  as  to  skirt.  It  was  most  1  e- 
coming  and  when  she  got  up  on  the  platform 
she  looked  rather  like  one  of  those  rose  and 
gold  rosebuds  herself.  But  her  friends  ex- 
perienced untold  agonies  of  nervousness  for 
her,  because  you  know  under  strc.-s  of  excite- 
ment, Marion  sometimes  docs  stammer  just 
enough  to  be  fascinating.  Hut  she  sailed 
through  with  flying  colors  and  was  given  a 
tremendous  ovation. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  Chaplin  were  there. 
Mrs.  Chaplin  in  soft  blue  velvet,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Tom  Mix  were  in  Miss  Davies'  party, 
and  Mrs.  Mix  wore  a  frock  of  moonlight 
satin,  covered  with  iridescent  crystals  and 
rhincstones  and  a  cape  of  ermine.  Elinor 
Glyn  was  in  white  satin,  and  Dorothy  Mac- 
kaill  in  white  and  jade  green.  Dick  Barthel- 
mess  had  little  Barbara  Bennett — daughter  of 
Richard  and  sister  of  Constance — with  him, 
and  she  wore  green  georgette.  Bill  Hart  was 
there,  and  Lionel  Barrymore,  and  Eddie  Lowe 
and  Lilyan  Tashman,  Julanne  Johnson — oh, 
it  was  really  very  exciting. 

T  ITTLE  Thomasina  Mix,  who  celebrated 
-'-'her  fourth  birthday  recently,  is  her  father's 
own  daughter. 

Tommy  has  a  small,  very  black  spitfire  of  a 
Shetland  pony,  appropriately  named  Tonv, 
Jr. 

The  other  afternoon  Tom  took  her  out  to 
the  ranch  and  was  giving  her  a  riding  lesson 
in  the  tanbark  ring.  Tommy  was  enjoying  it 
immensely  and  Tony,  Jr..  was  behaving  with 
meek  propriety. 

But  quite  unexpectedly  a  newspaper  1  lew 
over  the  wall  and  lit  at  Tony,  Jr.'s  feet.  Tony 
immediately  began  to  buck  like  an  unbroken 
broncho.  Tommy  hung  on  for  four  or  five 
jumps,  and  then  little  Tony  gave  a  specially 
wild  buck  and  Tommy  was  flung  into  the  air 
and  lit  in  the  tanbark. 

She  sat  up,  unhurt  but  very  much  scared. 
For  a  long  moment  she  stared  at  Tony.  Jr..  her 
lower  lip  trembling.  Then  she  rubbed  her 
hand  across  her  eyes,  got  up  resolutely,  and 
stalked  across  the  ring  and  remounted  without 
a  word.  Moreover,  she  took  a  firm  grip  on 
the  reins  and  for  the  rest  of  the  afternoon  she 
walked  Tony,  Jr..  around  that  ring  like  a 
veteran. 

Thomasina  had  her  fourth  birthday  party 
at  the  beautiful  new  Mix  home.  There  were 
40  children  present,  and  on  Tommy's  right 
sat  young  Bill  Hart,  Jr.  He  and  Tommy  arc 
great  pals. 

IT'S  a  shame  that  so  few  people  get  a  chance 
to  appreciate  Pola  Negri's  enchanting  wit. 
Off  the  screen,  this  famous  dramatic  actress 
is  one  of  the  most  amusing  and  delightful  of 
women. 

Just  after  the  papers  had  given  so  much 
space  to  Pola's  hurried  trip  to  Albuquerque, 
Xew  Mexico — you  will  remember  that  she 
arrived  there  from  the  west  on  the  same  day 
that  Rudolph  Valentino's  train  was  due  from 
the  east — Pola  had  a  lew  friends  to  dinner  at 
her  house  in  Beverly  Hills.  Rudy  was  among 
them. 

After  dinner,  she  ran  a  news  reel  for  them. 
But  what  a  news  reel.  Pola  had  assembled 
it,  cut  it,  and  written  all  the  titles  herself  and 
it  was  a  knockout.  Firsl  she  had  taken  cuts 
from  her  own  latest  picture,  "A  Woman  of 
the  World."  showing  her  descending  from  a 


train  and  being  met  by  some  man.  By  titles, 
Pola  explained  that  this  was  a  picture  of  her 
arriving  in  Albuquerque  and  being  met  by  a 
reporter.  And  some  of  the  questions  she  had 
the  reporter  asking  were  riotous.  Other  cuts 
from  Rudy's  "Cobra"  followed,  with  more 
titles,  and  at  the  finish  some  hastily  sh 
scenes  to  complete  the  story. 

If  that  news  reel  ever  got  out  it  would 
worth  a  fortune  as  a  comedy  feature,  for 
witty    titles   and   humorous   conception, 
isn't  every  great  actress  who  can  so  charm-  I 
ingly  take  a  small  joke  on  herself. 

CONSTANCE  TALMADGE  is  now  Mrs. 

^Alastair  William  Mackintosh. 

The   youngest   Talmadge   was   married   to 
Captain  Mackintosh,  a  wealthy  Briton,  at  the 
magnificent  home  of  Jean  de  St.  C>t.  in  Bur-  I 
lin<;ame,  a  fashionable  suburb  of  San  Francisco,  I 
in  the  presence  of  her  immediate  family  and 
the  closest  .Ymerican  friends  of  the  bridegroom. 

And  to  Connie  goes  the  prize  for  knocking 
the  Hollywood  motion  picture  colony  abso- 
lutely dizzy  with  surprise.  In  this  little 
town  where  everybody  knows  everythinp.  no- 
body had  ever  heard  of  Alastair  William 
Mackintosh,  nobody  even  knew  that  Con- 
stance had  an  acquaintance  by  that  name, 
until  three  days  before  the  wedding,  when  the 
engagement  and  date  of  the  ceremony  were 
announced  simultaneously. 

Behind  the  story  of  the  simple  wedding,  at 
which  Xorma  Talmadge  was  matron  of  honor 
and  William  Rhinelander  Stewart.  Jr.  best 
man.  lies  a  delightful  romance  quite  worthy 
of  the  screen's  greatest  heartbreaker.  and  from 
all  accounts  this  distinguished  young  Scotch- 
man and  soldier  is  well  fitted  to  have  won  the 
girl  who  is  said  to  have  had  more  proposals 
than  any  other  screen  star. 

.Alastair  William  Mackintosh  is  a  member  of 
a  very  ancient  and  honored  Scottish  family 
and  is  said  to  be  a  man  of  large  fortune.  He 
was  at  one  time  equerry  to  Princess  Beatrice, 
mother  of  the  Queen  of  Spain  and.  was  a 
Captain  in  the  British  Army  during  the  war 
where  he  earned  a  record  for  splendid  sen-ice 
He  is  also  an  intimate  friend  of  the  Prince  o! 
Wales. 

He  f-rst  came  to  America  three  years  age 
and  met  Constance  Talmadge  through  hfc 
most  intimate  friend.  William  Rhinelarrdei 
Stewart.  Jr..  who  was  at  that  time  an  aspiranl 
for  the  hand  of  the  fair  Constance.  Since  thai 
time,  it  appears,  he  has  wooed  her  quietly  but 
persistently,  especially  after  she  refused  young 
Stewart  and  the  much  rumored  match  in  that 
quarter  was  definitely  off. 

\yf  ACKIXTOSH  has  been  frequently  ir 
"■•-America  since.  He  and  Constance  have 
met  in  Xew  York  when  she  was  there.  When 
she  wasn't.  Mackintosh  came  to  visit  the  St. 
Cyrs  at  Burlingame.  Mr.  St.  Cyr  is  William 
Rhinelander  Stewart's  stepfather. 

He  arrived  a  short  time  ago.  Constance 
and  her  mother  were  at  the  near-by  Hotel 
Del  Monte.  Two  days  after  his  arrival  Con- 
stance had  promised  at  last  to  marry  him.  and 
three  days  later  she  became  his  1  ride. 

At  the  wedding  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Joseph 
Schenck  Norma  Talmadge),  Mrs.  Margaret 
Talmadge,  mother  of  the  I  ride.  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Buster  Keaton.  (Natalie  Talmadge),  Mr.  de 
St.  Cyi  and  William  Rhinelander  Stewart,  Jr. 
The  bride  wore  an  afternoon  dress  of  grey 
chiffon;  and  a  small  gray  hat  with  a  trailing 
feather  held  in  place  by  a  jade  ornament. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mackintosh  honevmooned  at 
Del  Monte. 

But  the  additionally  important  thing  is. 
this — Constance  Talmadge  has  but  three  more 
pictures  to  make  under  her  present  contract 
It's    been   rather   a   question   in   Constance";

trouble  dandruff  could  be — until  they  bobbed 
their  hair.   So  they  brush,  brush,  brush,  all  day  long. 

But  why  bother  with  brushing,  when  the  Wildroot 
treatment  is  so  simple?  Wildroot  Hair  Tonic  not 
only  removes  dandruff,  but,  if  faithfully  used,  pre- 
vents its  recurrence. 

A  very  interesting  thing  happens  with  the  first  few 
applications  of  Wildroot.  The  accumulated  dan- 
druff loosens  up  and  is  temporarily  more  apparent 
— but  soon  disappears  under  regular  treatment. 
This  shows  how  quickly  Wildroot  works. 

After  applying  to  the  scalp,  dress  your  hair  with 
Wildroot,  to  renew  the  lustre  and  beauty.  Get 
some  Wildroot  Hair  Tonic  at  your  druggist's  or 
barber's  today.    And  stop  brushing  dandruff. 


IMPORTANT  NOTE 

It  is  incorrect  to  suppose 
that  Wildrootgrows  hair. 
Only  a  healthy  scalp  can 
grow  hair.  Wildroot  re- 
moves the  very  unhealthy 
condition  of  dandruff, 
and  thus  prevents  the  Ion 
of  hair  that  is  sure  t< 
follow  dandruff.

mind  whether  after  that  she  would  make  any 
more  or  not.  This  wedding  probably  means 
that  after  these  three  pictures  the  screen  will 
lose  its  most  enchanting  comedienne.  Con- 
stance loves  exactly  the  sort  of  life  young 
Mackintosh  can  give  her  abroad  and  it  is  his 
desire  to  live  in  his  own  country. 

Y\7"IIAT  I  want  to  know  is,  what  good  did  it 
W  do  Connie  to  get  back  her  American  citi- 
zenship? You  remember  she  lost  it  when  she 
married  the  first  time  to  John  Pauoglott, 
wealthy  Greek  cigarette  manufacturer  of 
\i  v.  York. 

Since  that  time  Constance  has  been  reported 
engaged  to  several  distinguished  gentlemen. 
including  John  Charles  Thomas,  Irving 
Berlin,  William  Rhinelander  Stewart,  Jr., 
Irving  Thalberg  and   Buster  Collier. 

Even  her  best  friends  had  no  inkling  of  her 
approaching  marriage  and  Hollywood  is  still 
trying  to  recover  from  its  amazement  and 
ooking  forward  to  meeting  the  lucky  man. 

A  GNES  AYRES  hopes  that  Justice,  that 
-*  ^-blindfolded  goddess  who  carries  her  scales 
with  her,  will  be  present  when  her  suit  for 
803,000  against  the  Producers  Distributing 
Corporation  comes  to  trial. 

Agnes  wants  Justice,  of  course,  but  her 
scales  are  going  to  come  in  very  handy,  for 
Agnes — who  is  suing  the  producing  company 
for  breach  of  contract  and  several  other 
counts — will  have  to  prove  to  the  court's 
satisfaction  that  she  had  not  let  herself  become 
fat  and  therefore  violated  the  clause  in  her 
contract  which  gave  them  the  right  to  break 
it  if  she  suffered  any  "facial  or  physical  dis- 
figurement materially  detracting  from  her 
personal  appearance."  And  when  the  con- 
tract was  broken  nearly  a  year  ago,  they 
claimed  that  Old  Lady  Poundage  had  crept 
up  on  Agnes  and  covered  with  fat  the  beauty 
that  made  her  famous. 

It  will  take  a  judge  with  the  wisdom  of 
Solomon,  the  discernment  of  Paris  and  the 
diplomacy  of  a  Chesterfield  to  decide  the 
case.  And,  in  the  meantime,  Agnes  sews  on 
a  tiny  layette  in  her  Hollywood  home,  await- 
ing Doc  Stork's  visit. 

T"  CALLED  the  press  agent  to  verify  the 
-*-  story.  And  the  p.  a.  was  aghast  that  I  even 
repeated  it.  Said  it  would  dispel  the  romantic 
glamour  surrounding  the  actor  if  it  was  told — 
especially  in  view  of  his  next  picture,  steeped 
in  love  and  intrigue  and  youth. 

But  here  it  is  anyway.  I'm  mentioning  no 
names. 

An  old  doorman  in  the  east  who  knew  the 
actor  in  his  stage  days  heard  that  the  actor 
was  to  play  a  youthful  role  in  a  current 
picture.  The  old  man  wired  the  actor,  so  the 
story  goes,  and  said: 

"Congratulations  on  your  ability  to  play  a 
character  role." 

To  which  the  actor  replied: 


"I  am  not  playing  a  character  Me.  It  is  a 
juvenile  part. " 

Said  the  old  doorman: 
"That's  what  I  mean!"

alleged  in  a  suit  for  $25,000  dama-. 
Lieut.  Gerald  de  Merveux  are  true. 

It  seems  that  de  Merveux.  who  is  a  world

fairest  of  Hollywood  the  art  of  fencing,  claims 
that  Blackton.  one  of  the  founders  of  Vita-

by  an  angry  attack  de  Merveux  made  on  Mrs.

•"THE  latest  in  syncopated  proposals  occurred 
•*-  when  Bob  Leonard,  accompanied  by  a  sor- 
rowing saxophone,  a  wailing  violin,  a  blaring 
cornet  and  an  agile  jazz  leader,  asked  Gertrude 
Olmstead  to  become  his  wife.  To  his  plea 
the  music  played  "Then  I'll  Be  Happy"  and 
burst  into  a  rollicking  "Yes  Sir!  That's  Ms- 
Baby "  when  Gertrude  answered  in  the 
affirmative. 

Of  course  Bob,  who  is  a  director,  didn't  need 
the  jazz  accompaniment  to  give  him  courage, 
but  it  happened  that  Gertrude  was  going  to 
New  York  for  eight  weeks  to  make  a  picture 
and  rather  than  run  the  risk  of  losing  Gertrude 
to  a  New  Yorker,  Bob  made  sure  by  plea 
and  ring  that  she  would  1  ecome  Mrs.  Robert 
Leonard  upon  her  return. 

Which  settles  definitely  the  rumors  of  a 
reconciliation  between  Bob  anil  Mae  Murray,

From  somewhere  in  the  studio  there  came 
the    sound    of   an    orchestra    playing    an    old 
French  ballad. 

"There  it  is."  said  Mr.  Meniou.  "the 
eternal  love  song,  always  and  everywhere. 
Net  even  the  most  sophisticated  admits  that 
love  changes.  All  of  us  have  names  for 
various  grades  of  love — puppy  love,  calf  love, 
childish  love,  maternal  love.  We  clutch  each 
love  fiercely,  thinking  there  isn't  any  more. 
Net  there  always  is. 

"Now,  intense  love,  love  that  is  so  real 
that  is  Fairly  abject  in  its  force,  annoys  women. 
Small    attentions    tlatter    women.       Burning 


fidelity  irritates  them.  A  woman  is  pleased 
with  the  kiss  of  devotion  but  the  kiss  that 
really  thrills  her  is  the  one  that  she  is  quite 
sure  doesn't  mean  love  at  all. 

"The  sophisticated  man  knows  that  every 
woman  possesses  something  that  is  individual 
and  fascinating.  It  may  be  her  hands:  it  may 
1  e  her  eves;  it  may  be  the  way  she  holds 
her  head.  But  it  makes  every  woman  worth 
time  and  attention." 

"Why,  then,  if  love  is  fleeting,  does  the 
sophisticated  man.  knowing  all  he  does,  end 
by  marrying  a  half-educated  doll?" 

The  Menjou  eyes  twinkled.  "Consider 
what  you've  said."  he  ordered.    "The  sophisti-

I  cate  ends  with  the  baby  doll — because  he  has 
been  disappointed  with  the  other  types.  He- 
looks  at  the  baby  doll's  pastel  prettiness  and 
he  says  to  himself.  'My  dear,  there  is  nothing 
about  you  that  can  fool  me.  I'll  just  have 
you  about  to  gaze  at  your  thoughtless  loveli- 
ness and  know  that  I  can't  get  hurt  any  more.' 

A  II.  we  all  admire  the  sophisticated  atti- 
Mude,"  he  said.  "The  reason  we  people 
here  in  America  admire  it  particularly  is  because 
,  it  is  foreign  to  us.  We  are  accused  of  being 
dollar  chasers  but  we  are  actually  more  im- 
pressed by  manner  than  wealth.  Go  into 
the  most  expensive  restaurant  in  Xew  York, 
our  richest  city.  Let  a  gentleman  enter  who 
wears  his  dinner  clothes  correctly,  who  wears. 
say,  a  small  mustache  and  a  monocle,  and 
(he  eyes  of  every  woman  present  will  follow 
him.  He  may  not  possess  a  dollar  but  his 
appearance  makes  him  eligible  almost  any- 
where. Behind  him  may  come  the  usual 
American  business  man.  He  may  be  worth 
sixty  millions.  But  the  women  present  will 
pay  little  attention  to  him  as  an  individual. 
They  will  bow  to  his  millions  but  not  to  his 
mind.  The  sophisticated  man  suggests  lei- 
sure and  wealth.  In  this  country  where  most 
of  us  have  to  work  for  everything  we  get.  we 


are  impressed  by  the  man  who  can  get  along 
by  doing  nothing  at  all  charmingly.  The 
woman  living  by  the  same  method  does  not 
interest  us  so  sharply.  We  are  more  accus- 
tomed to  her.  Women  in  .America  until 
recently  have  been  our  only  leisure  class."' 

Griffith  was  calling  and  Mr.  Menjou  rose 
to  go.  "Two  things  I  want  to  do  before  my 
screen  career  is  over."  he  said.  "One  i-  a 
picture  with  Cloria  Swanson.  We've  got  the 
story — a  tired  man  of  the  world  and  a  tired 
woman  of  the  world  going  away,  each  of  them 
to  a  little  mountain  hotel  to  forget  their  dis- 
illusion.    Thev  meet  and  then  .  .  ." 

"What'" 

"The  inevitable  love.  It  always  happens. 
But  Gloria  and  I  can't  do  it.  Not  now  at 
least.     The  star  system.  .  ." 

He  shrugged. 

"And  then."  he  continued,  his  eyes  lighting. 
"I  want  to  do  a  costume  picture — without 
gestures.  I  want  to  show  that  people  have 
always  been  the  same.  Just  because  they 
lived  three  hundred  years  ago  they  didn't 
walk  differently.  That  picture  is  my  big 
ambition.  Always  existence  has  been  the 
same — love  and  life  and  death.  Always  down 
the  ages  the  romance  search  has  been  on — 
with  the  same  result."

subscribers,  nor  do  they  arrogate  to  them- 
selves, like  the  boob  picture  producer,  the  at- 
tribute of  infallibility.  Mr.  Lonmer  manages 
to  please  2,500,000  purchasers  of  the  Saturday 
Evening  Post  weekly  and  has  been  doing  it  for 
lo,  these  many  years.  Mr.  Long,  with  Cosmo- 
politan, is  making  fast  strides  toward  pleasing 
2,000,000  Cosmopolitan  readers  monthly. 
If  we  figure,  conservatively,  that  three  persons 
read  each  issue  of  the  magazine  which  one  per- 
son purchases,  it  will  readily  be  seen  that  these 
two  gentlemen  are  able  to  find  more  intelligent 
persons  in  these  United  States  than  the  movie 
editors  are. 

I  repeat:  Nobody  knows  what  the  public 
wants  and  it  is  sheer  hogwash  to  claim  such 
infallibility.  I  am  just  completing  a  novel. 
Now,  I  KNOW  this  novel  will  be  a  best  seller. 
That  is  not  arrogance  nor  is  it  conceit,  but  a 
prediction  based  on  past  performances.  I 
KNOW,  out  of  an  experience  of  seventeen 
years  that  I  cannot  please  the  public  and  that 
I  do  not  know  what  the  public  wants,  but  I 
know  mighty  well  what  I  want,  and  I  want  ex- 
actly the  thing  I  create,  whether  it  be  good, 
bad  or  indifferent,  according  to  the  critics  who 
assume  to  make  pronouncements.  1  know  that 
if  the  job  pleases  me,  it  is  going  to  please  a 
sufficient  number  of  people  of  my  grade  of  in- 
telligence, and  that  number  will  be  sufficient 
to  place  me  out  in  front  and  make  me  a  very 
satisfactory  living. 

I  have  done  a  great  deal  of  public  speaking. 
I  have  had  the  so-called  intelligentzia  listen 
to  me,  the  people  who  aspire  to  what  they  call 
the  better  things  of  life;  the  Rotary  clubs,  the 
Optimists  chilis,  the  dens  of  lions,  the  women's 
clubs,  the  literary  clubs,  troops,  labor  unions 
and  high  school  cadets.  In  a  word  the  same 
audience  that  patronizes  motion  pictures.  1 
have  never  found  the  audiences  dull  or  stupid; 
I  have  never  found  it  necessary  to  talk  down 
to  the  level  of  their  intelligences.  1  have  al- 
ways insisted  upon  titillating  my  own  intelli- 
gence in  making  an  address  and  the  interest, 
approbation,  smiles  and  applause  of  my  audi- 
ence is  never  niggardly.  The  audiences  1  haw- 
talked  to  are  as  quick  lo  sense  irony,  satire  or 
delicate,  unctions  humor  as  they  are  to  respond 
to  a  story  of  the  two  famous  Irishmen.  Pal  ami 
Mike.  1  love  audiences.  They're  kind  ami 
they're  intelligent  and  very  wistful. 

Motion  pictures,  with  the  exception  of  a  few, 

Brer;  advertisement   in  PHOTOPLAY   MAGAZINE        cuarantet 


fail  of  their  primary  mission  which  is  to  enter- 
tain. That  is  1  ecause  the  people  who  make  the 
pictures  do  not  know  how  to  entertain.  To  be 
an  entertainer  is  to  he  something  of  an  artist. 
Charley  Chaplin  always  entertains  me.  I 
laughed  at  "The  Gold  Rush"  until  I  wept.  I 
went  there  for  a  heart  v  laugh  and  it  was  worth 
more  to  me  than  the  price  of  admission. 

I  see  where  Charley's  artistic  foot  slips  oc- 
casionally, where  he  blahs  the  note,  where  he 
achieves  bathos  rather  than  pathos,  but  I 
think  it  would  be  mean  and  unsportsmanlike 
to  mention  that,  to  be  hyper-critical,  because 
he  doesn't  pretend  to  infallibility;  he  gives  you 
so  much  that  is  joyous,  wistful,  artistic,  great 
that  the  minority  report  just  isn't  worth  bring- 
ing in.  He  fulfils  his  duty  to  the  people  who 
trust  him.  He  gives  them  their  money's  worth, 
and  he  is  tremendously  concerned  with  doing 
just  that  and  not  at  all  with  a  consideration  of 
what  a  marvelous  artist  Charley  Chaplin  is. 

T_T£  is  a  success  because  he  is  a  gifted  man  in 
■*■  ■'-his  line — a  real  genius — and  like  all  men  of 
genius  he  keeps  his  eye  and  his  thoughts  on  the 
job  for  the  job's  sake.  He  makes  no  pseudo- 
magnificent  gesture,  no  hollow  promise  that 
explodes  like  a  pricked  toy  balloon.  He  has 
established  an  honest  basis  of  quality,  his 
trade-mark  stands  for  something,  we  all  know 
it.  we  believe  it  and  we  patronize  him  and  wish 
we  could  patronize  him  oftener  than  we  do. 

What  bally  rot  to  say  that  when  the  public 
evinces  a  distinct  desire  for  better  pictures  the 
alert  ami  gracious  producer  will  supply  him 
jusl  that!  What  arrogance!  How  the  devil 
docs  the  producer  know  he  can  do  that?  If  lie 
could  the  idiot  would  do  it  now  and  not  wait  to 
lie  prodded  into  action  by  a  public  which  is. 
indubitably,  inarticulate. 

Any  man.  in  any  line  of  endeavor,  who  isn't 
striving  upward  all  of  the  time  is  already  on 
the  toboggan  and  how  pitiful  to  see  him  strut 
when  he  doesn't  even  know  he  is  headed  for 
artistic  oblivion!  I  could  never  write  down  to 
the  literary  level  of  True  Stories,  but  the  read- 
ers of  True  Stories  can  and  do  adventure  on  my 
literary  level.  Sometimes  I  read  True  Stories 
myself  just  to  keep  touch  with  my  job!  Some- 
times one  finds  a  gem  of  literature  wasted 
there!  Vet.  is  it  wasted?  Who  shall  make  such 
a  pronouncement  and  cease  to  be  fair  and 
humble?

OF 

PERMANENT  WAVING 

FOR   THE    HAIR  OF    WOMEN  WHO  CARE' 


The  motion  picture  industry  has  everything 

to  make  fine  productions  with,  except  good 
taste,  an  instinctive  sense  of  artistry,  which  is 
ability  to  differentiate  between  bathos  and 
pathos,  humor  and  slap  stick  the  graceful  and 
the  ungraceful.  They  have  no  ability  to  ex- 
press tenderness,  humor,  pathos,  drama,  even 
if  they  feel  it,  but  when  occasionally  somebody 
succeeds  in  expressing  even  a  modicum  of  these 
great  human  emotions  on  the  screen  how  cer- 
tain, how  instantaneous,  is  the  response  from 
the  emotionally  starved  boobs.  Ye-,  people 
want  entertainment,  they  want  their  emotions 
stirred,  they  want  to  be  lifted  for  an  hour  and 
a  half  out  of  life  with  its  bald,  brutal  and 
blatant  realities,  into  a  world  of  make-believe 
— the  wonderful  world  of  make-believe  that  lies 
even  in  the  brains  of  the  emotionally  inartic- 
ulate. 


Cynics  keep  up  their  reference  to  hokum. 
I  don't  know  what  hokum  is,  although  I  am 
told  I  employ  hokum  no  little.  Thank  God  for 
that.  I  would  use  more  of  the  same  if  I  knew 
how.  If  hokum  draws  the  heart  up  into  the 
throat,  if  it  brings  a  joyous  laugh,  or  a  sym- 
pathetic tear,  it  is  no  longer  hokum. 

It  is  Art. 

And  1  can't  tell  you  what  Art  is,  although  I 
have  a  sneaking  impression  that  if  it  ennobles 
and  uplifts,  if  it  "gets"  me  under  the  fifth  rib, 
Art  is  present. 

Some  months  ago  Mr.  Louis  B.  Mayer  asked 
me  to  write  a  story  to  feature  Miss  Liliian  Gish. 
I  asked  him  what  type  of  story  he  required  for 
her  and  he  said  he  didn't  know,  but  that  it 
was  certain  she  would  have  to  suffer  a  lot. 
Alas,  poor  Louis! 

I  know  him  well ! 


Questions  and  Answers 


1  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  84  ] 


M.  V.  B.,  Peoria. — Bobby  Agnew  is  not 
married  which  they  do  say  is  mostly  May 
McAvoy's  fault  for  Bobby  has  been  in  love 
with  May  for  a  couple  of  years  now  which  is  a 
lifetime  in  Hollywood. 

C.  H.  H.,  Toledo. — Raymond  Hatton  is 
still  with  Paramount.  His  latest  picture  is 
"Behind  the  Front,"  and  it's  a  wow.  Tom 
Mix  is  38  years  old.  Mary  Brian  is  an  Ameri- 
can, bless  her,  and  just  18.  I  like  'em  eighteen. 
Jack  Pickford  was  born  in  Canada  August 
18th,  1896.  Mary  was  born  there,  too,  three 
years  earlier.  But  even  at  that  she's  ten 
years  younger  than  husband  Doug  Fairbanks. 

Maya  Laserre,  Cuba. — Gracious  Senorita. 
You  hablo  mucho  good  English.  Eugene 
O'Brien  is  not  married.  I'll  say  he  is  still 
popular — he  is  playing  opposite  Gloria  Swan- 
son  in  her  new  picture,  "Fine  Manners." 
You  think  Norma  Talmadge  is  too  sweet  to 
play  Iris  Storm  in  "The  Green  Hat?"  Well, 
well,  that  depends  on  how  sweet  you  think 
Iris  was.  She  was  awful  good  company, 
anyhow. 

J.  H.,  Brooklyn. — Y'ou  and  me  both.  Mice 
Joyce  is  a  peach.  Also  a  lady  and  an  actress. 
She  was  born  October  ist,  iSoo.  Alice  is  five 
feet,  7  inches  tall  and  has  brown  hair  and 
hazel  eyes.  Tho  you'd  never  believe  it  she 
was  born  in  Kansas  City,  Mo.  Once  upon  a 
time  Tom  Moore  was  her  husband.  Xow  Mr. 
Joyce  is  James  Regan,  son  of  the  famous 
hotel  man,  and  they  have  two  lovely  daughters. 

D.  D.,  Sax  Francisco. — Yes,  William 
Haines  played  in  "A  Slave  of  Fashion."  His 
next  picture  is  "  Brown  of  Harvard.  "  Bill  was 
born  on  New  Years  Day  in  tooo,  at  Staunton. 
Va.  Warner  Baxter's  birthday  was  March 
2qth,  iSqi  and  took  place  at  Columbus.  Ohio. 
He  has  just  finished  playing  with  Gilda  Grey 
in  "Aloma  of  the  South  Seas."  Yep,  that's 
his  real  moniker. 

Gracious,  Pennsylvania. — Well,  I  guess 

the  psychologists  would  say  that  we  all  need 
some  form  of  expression  for  those  pent  up 
feelings  of  ours,  and  if  we  aren't  able  to  get 
Shel  of  them  in  a  symphony  or  a  poem,  why 
we  just  write  in  a  diary  or  to  some  sympathetic 
friend.  That's  me.  Tell  me  all.  But,  Gracious, 
don't  ask  me  why  your  favorite  story  is 
changed  when  it  comes  to  the  screen.  I'm 
sorry  if  the  picture  version  of  "So  Big"  hurt 
you!  "1'is  said  it  hurt  the  producers  also,  in 
their  box  office. 

G.  M.  L.,  Berkley.— All  right.  I'll  answer 
youi  threat  by  telling  you  the  bad  news: 
William  Boyd  just  married  Elinor  Fair,  his 
leading  lady  in  "The  Volga  Boatman."    Sure 

Bilvartlscmeril   In  moron. ay  magazine  is  guaranteed. 


he's  a  coming  actor.  He  started  coming 
twenty-six  years  ago  when  he  was  born  in 
Cambridge.  Ohio.  For  schooling,  he  went  to 
Oklahoma.  There's  those  as  thinks  he  re- 
sembles Wally  Reid  in  looks  and  screen  per- 
sonality. 

Georgia.  Xew  Y'ork. — Clive  Brook  is  an- 
other one  of  those  tall  guys  being  five  feet,  n 
inches  tall  and  weighing  150  pounds.  His  hair 
is  "brown  and  he  has  grey  eyes.  He's  nearly 
35.  Clive  was  an  English  stage  actor.  He  is 
under  contract  to  Warner  Brothers  now. 
Don't  weep. 

R.  L.  Z..  Kansas  City. — Ben  Lyon  was 
born  in  Atlanta.  Ga..  Feb.  6th,  iqoi.  As  I  have 
already  stated  several  times  this  month  that 
is  his  real  name.  Ben  is  six  feet  tall  and 
weighs  160  pounds.  All  the  girls  in  Hollywood 
like  Ben,  so  why  not  you? 

Adoka  H. — .Not  a  movie  fan?  Oh.  Adora, 
how  can  you?  Y'ou  must  be  to  make  me  happy. 
Your  friend,  William  Powell,  is  a  fine  actor,  but 
he's  not  a  star  as  yet.  He  is  thirty-four,  mar- 
ried to  Eileen  Wilson,  and  an  American. 
Y'ou're  welcome. 

A  Disappointed  Fan. — Don't  be.  I'm  sure 
the  star  didn't  mean  to  snub  you.  He's 
darned  busy  and  gets  tons  of  mail  and  un- 
doubtedly although  he  has  appreciated  your 
cards  and  notes,  he  just  hasn't  had  time  to 
write  you.  That  really  does  happen,  you  know, 
but  the  stars  appreciate  your  interest  just  the 
same. 

S.  R.— You  say  you  want  us  to  publish  a 
few  facts  about  Ronald  Colman.  Fer  heven's 
sake.  Don't  you  read  this  here  book?  We 
don't  do  nothing  else  but.  Ronald.  Ronald, 
Ronald.  So  the  cry  rises.  Howsomever,  I'll 
tell  it  all  over  again,  just  for  you.  Ronnie  is

of  eye  and  black  of  hair,  and  separated.

released  to  the  fans  in  April.  He  is  over  six 
feet,  one  inch  over.  I'll  try  to  see  that  you  get 
a  picture  of  him  in  Photoplay  very  soon 

Bubbles. — I  don't  blame  you  for  wanting 
to  know  about  Lois  Moran  and  Doug.  Jr., 
after  seeing  their  love  scenes  in  "Stella 
Dallas."  Those  were  young  love  scenes  all 
right.  Lois  was  born  in  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  iqoq. 
She  has  danced  in  the  Paris  Opera  ballet  and 
"Stella  Dallas"  is  her  first  picture  Young

B.  G. — You  say  you  are  mine  until  the 
detectives  find  me  out.  Oh,  15.  G..  v. ill  you 
desert  me  then?  How  cruel.  How  cruel. 
Don't  he.  Richard  Dix  was  horn  in  St.  Paul. 
.Minn.,  thirty-one  years  ago.  He  played  on 
the  stage  for  a  couple  of  years  and  started  in 
pictures  in  1021,  since  which  time  he  certainly 
has  traveled  fast  in  fan  hearts.  Rehe  Daniels 
was  horn  in  Dallas,  Texas,  twenty-five  years 
1  ack  and  went  on  the  stage  as  soon  as  she 
could  he  carried  there.  She  started  in  pictures 
when  she  was  eight . 

Blue  Eyes. — Your  friend,  Brown  Eyes,  is 
with  us  this  month,  too.  How  old  does  that 
coon  get  in  whose  age  one  does  things?  I've 
always  wanted  to  know.  Rod  La  Rocque  is  in 
his  twenty-eighth  year.  He  weighs  181,  is  six 
feet  three,  brown  haired  and  black  eyed  and 
not  married.  Rod's  just  a  regular  guy.  horn 
American  and  all  that.  I  think  he'd  probably 
write  you  if  you  gave  him  the  chance  by  writing 
him  in  care  of  the  De  Mille  studios. 

D.  R.,  Covington",  La. — I  love  questions. 
Why  should  I  be  hard  on  you,  particularly 
when  you  want  to  know  of  Ramon?  Ramon 
was  born  in  Durango,  Mexico.  February  6th, 
1899.  He's  been  in  movies  since  1917.  His 
people  are  very  high  class,  indeed. 

Virginia  M.,  Michigan. — How  do  you  do 

yourself,  Virginia?  You  want  Betty  Branson's 
picture.  Well,  send  that  starlet  a  quarter,  in 
care  of  the  Lasky  studios,  Hollywood,  and  you 
will  receive  her  likeness.  Yes,  that's  her  real 
name.  'Twas  the  other  Moore  that  was  mar- 
ried to  Mary  Pickford,  Owen,  not  Tom.  That 
eighteen-year-old  darling,  Mary  Brian,  is  not 
married.  Don't  know  how  she  escaped,  but  she 
has  so  far.  You  can  reach  Gloria  at  522  Fifth 
Avenue,  New  York  City.  That's  her  own 
name,  unless  you  want  to  call  her  the  Marquise 
de  la  Falaise  de  la  Coudray. 

A.  M. — You  love  Norma  Talmadge?  And 
who  doesn't?  Norma  uses  her  maiden  name 
on  the  screen  but  in  private  life  she  is  Mrs. 
Joseph  Schenck  and  has  been  for  several  years. 

Virginia  Cotter,  Georgia. — No,  Mice 
Terry  has  not  dropped  out  of  the  movies. 
Alice  is  all  over  the  place  in  husband's  newest 
picture,  "Mare  Nostrum."  Alice  is  28  years 
old.  Ramon  Novarro  was  born  Feb.  6th, 
1899.  No,  visitors  are  not  allowed  to  visit 
the  motion  picture  studios  to  watch  the  actors 
do  what  they  call  work. 

M.  J.  D.,  Illinois. — Richard  Barthelmess 
is  a  New  Yorker.  He's  one  of  the  few  residents 
of  that  village  who  was  born  there.  May  oth, 
1897  the  date  was.  Mrs.  Dick  is  Mary  Hay, 
now  playing  in  "Sunny"  a  musical  comedy  in 
which  Marillyn  Miller,  Jack  Pickford's  wife 
stars.  The  Barthelmess  home  is  broken  up, 
however.  Mary  and  Dick  live  apart  and 
their  baby  visits  each  of  them  six  months  cf

calling  her  Winifred  lludnut  or  Mrs.  Rudolph 
Valentino  but  if  you  insist  upon  getting  up  in 
your  Russian,  here's  the  dope.  Xa-tash -a 
(accent  middle  syllable)  Ram-bov-a  (accent 
middle  syllable),  Ronald  Coleman  was  born 
in  Richmond,  Surrey,  England.  No,  Ronny 
won't  let  anything  spoil  him.  lie's  a  wise 
guv,  he  is.  Doris  kernon  was  horn  in  Syracuse, 
N.   V.     She's  a  minister's  daughter. 


Queenie,  Connecticut. — Richard  Barthel- 
mess was  born  in  New  York  City.  May  9th, 
1897.  Trinity  College  was  his  alma  mater. 
He  -as  married  to  Mary  Hay,  the  pint  sized 
musical  comedy  star,  but  they  are  separated 
now.    They  have  a  little  girl  three  years  old. 

Viola  Armstrong.  Ohio. — Baby  Peggy  was 
born  October  26th.  1918  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John 
C.  Montgomery,  which  makes  her  full  and 
sober  name  Peggy  Jean  Montgomery.  In 
"The  Family  Secret"  Gladys  Hulette  played 
Peggy's  mother  and  Edward  Earle  the  father. 
Baby  Peggy  has  an  older  sister  who  is  not  as 
good  as  Peggy  in  the  pictures. 

Marion  and  Tiielma. — Well,  you  can  judge 
how  popular  I  am  with  the  girls  when  they 
will  tell  me  even  their  ages.  Neil  Hamilton 
and  Betty  Bronson  are  a  pretty  pair,  they  are. 
Have  I  seen  Bessie  Love  do  the  Charleston? 
Right  in  my  office.  And  how!  Bessie  returned 
from  Europe  some  time  ago  and  is  in  Holly- 
wood making  "Lovey  Mary." 

A.  A. — Another  good  girl  gone  matrimony. 
Esther  Ralston  was  married  in  December  to 
George  W.  Frey.  Esther  and  Jobyna  Ralston 
are  not  related.  Only  sisters  in  aft,  that's  all. 
Esther  has  blonde  bobbed  hair  and  Jobyna 
has  long  brown  curls. 

H.  S.  F.,  Yonkers. — George  Billings  played 
Abraham  Lincoln  in  the  picture  of  that  name, 
Ruth  Clifford  was  Anne  Rutledge  and  Nell 
Craig  was  Abe's  wife.  In  "America  '  Neil 
Hamilton  played  Nathan  Holden  and  Carol 
Dempster  was  Nancy  Montague.  Now  you 
won't  need  that  history  book. 

Gladys,  Mt.  Oliver. — Marion  Davies  was 
born  in — I  hate  to  admit  it — Brooklyn.  N.  V. 
Marion's  one  of  those  wonderful  blondes  an 
old  guy  like  me  dreams  of.  Her  hair  is  spun 
gold  and  her  eyes  are  blue  as  the  lake  of  Kil- 
larney.  And  yet  she's  not  married.  There  are 
a  few  things  in  this  world  I  don't  understand 
and  that's  one  of  them.  Colleen  Moore  was 
born  in  Port  Huron.  Mich.  Her  hair  is  dark 
brown  and  her  eyes — now  listen.  When 
Colleen  winks  her  eyes  shine  just  like  a  traffic 
signal — on  one  side  she's  one  color  and  on  the 
other  another  for  one  of  Colleen's  eyes  is 
brown  and  the  other  is  blue.  Smart  gal, 
Colleen.

his  first  movie  part  in  "Potash  &  Perlmutter. ™ 
He  is  not  married.  He  lives  with  his  mother 
and  sister,  like  all  nice,  wise  boys  do. 

The  Rover,  Cleveland. — So  you  are  going 
to  write  to  me  even-  month?  Goody,  goody, 
a  new  customer,  asking  nice  new  questions 
about  heights  and  dales  and  things.  And  will 
you  ask  as  many  questions  even-  month  as 
you  have  this  month.  Rover?  If  you  do,

DOROTHY  GRAY 


OCIETY'S  MOST  FAMOUS   FACES 

3\j2f>t  ilautlijiil  Jxi-THjer  Gjoolu/ 

There  are  three  telltale  places  where  age  shows  first  in  a  woman's  face,  weak  spots.  This 
was  Dorothy  Gray's  conclusion  after  studying  thousands  upon  thousands  of  faces  during 
the  past  eleven  years.  How  to  prevent  them  and  to  erase  them  has  been  her  specialty. 

POME  people  used  to  think  that  the 


A  Double  Chin 


almost  magical  results  obtained  by 
Dorothy  Gray  were  extremely  compli- 
cated, even  surgical  treatments. 

For  she  is  known  on  two  continents 
as  the  facial  scientist  who  works  mar- 
vels for  the  greatest  beauties  of  society 
and  stage.    She  first  won  her  fame  in 
counteracting     the     double    chin    and    sagging 
throat  muscles.   To  women  of  the  "fading  age" 
she  offers  facial  rejuvenation.  To  younger  women 
she  offers  protection  against  premature  age. 

Her  Salon  in  New  York,  in  the  most  exclusive 
Fifth  Avenue  location,  is  the  mecca  of  thousands 
upon  thousands  of  women  who  oroclaim  her 
their  benefactress. 

Yet  her  treatments  are  apparently  simple.  Nothing 
severe.  Nothing  harsh.  In  fact,  now  you  can  duplicate 
her  treatments  in  your  own  home. 

Ycu  can  consult  Dorothy  Gray  by  mail  as  intimately 
as  if  you  came  to  New  York  for  a  personal  interview. 

This  service  she  has  now  developed  after  ten  years 
of  exclusive  Salon  treatments  by  appointment.  She  has 
prepared  printed  directions  and  offers  her  own  prepara- 
tions. Furthermore,  she  invites  you  to  write  to  her  in 
detail  and  she  will  answer  you  personally. 

Her  specialty  is  the  counteracting  of  facial  age.  To 
it  she  has  devoted  her  life. 

She  can  help  ycu  eliminate  a  double  chin  and  make 


Wrinkles  and  Lines 

Around  Eyes  and 

Mouth 


your  throat  lines  youthful  and  charming.  She  can  help 
you  erase  those  hateful  lines  around  eyes  and  mouth. 
She  can  help  you  "firm"  the  relaxed,  drooping  muscles 
of  the  face.  A  sallow  skin  can  be  made  to  glow. 

Thousands   of   women   have   had   almost   miraculous 
results  in  employing  the   Dorothy  Gray  Home  Treat- 
ments. Years  disappear  quickly.  "You  look  SO 
much  younger,"  your  friends  will  say.   "Have 
you  been  to  New  York  to  see  Dorothy  Gray?" 

Below  is  printed  a  coupon   for  your  conve- 
nience.    It  embraces  the  three  telltale  places 
where  age  shows   first   but   you   may   write  a 
letter  instead  if  you  wish  to  state  your  problems 
more  fully.  Miss  Gray  will  study  your  require- 
ments and  make  personal  recommenda- 
tions as  to  the  treatments  and  the  proper 
preparations. 

This  service  is  gratis. 

Dorothy  Gray's  preparations  with 
complete  directions  for  treatments  can 
be  obtained  at  the  leading  department 
stores  and  quality  drug  stores  through- 
out the  country.

Hard   leaned   back   aniont;    the   eushii

Beautiful  and  right. 
j  "Well.  Adored,"  he  said,  "if  you  arc  about

th    rose    from    the    cushions    as    if    their 
lering  hold  had  become  unbearable.     She 
ent  to  the  pale  green  enamelled  secretary  and 
forth  a  bulky  missive.    It  had  occurred  to 
•.id,  watching  her  passage  across  the  room, 
she  did  not  undulate  as  much  as  usual 
\lked. 
She  returned  and  sat  down,  not  close  to  him, 
-    as  her  wont.

Gaillard  accepted,  rather  gingerly,  the  rough,

Silence.

Silence.  And  because  she  loved  him  so 
honestly  l.ilith  forgot  to  fear  for  herself.  His 
face  was  so  pale.  His  hands  were  shaking. 
She  had  hurt  him,  who  would  have  spared  him 
the  faintest  pang. 

"And  so."  Gaillard's  beautiful  voice  was. 
l.ilith  noted,  still  beautiful,  grave  and  deep 
and  slightly  slurred  with  sorrow — "and  so, 
after  all,  you  have  deceived  me." 

"I  told  you  so!  Xow  you  know.  But  if 
you  could  know,  too,  how  many  sleepless 
nights  I  have  spent,  trying  to  make  up  my 
mind,  trying  to  nerve  my  heart,  to  tell  you. 
If  you  knew  how  hard  I  have  tried  to  live 
those  old  days  down,  to  cover  over  with  layers 
and  layers  and  layers  the — the  girl  I  was. 
I  have  striven  by  even-  means  in  my  power 
to  make  myself,  inside  as  well  as  out,  the  kind 
of  a  woman  a  man  like  you  could  love.  It 
was  necessary,  it  became  true,  it  wasn't  deceit 
in  any  ordinary  sense  of  the  word,  it  was  just, 
don't  you  see,  gilding  a  plain  pine  frame,  sort 
of  like  that." 

"If  you  have  deceived  me  about  anyone 
else,  but  about  yourself.  These  stories— all 
these  stories  about  your  birth,  your  parentage, 
your  convent  days — lies?"

like  that,  adopt  a  different  name  for  a  specific 
purpose." 

"I  see,"  Gaillard's  voice  was  edged  now, 
with  irony,  with  bitterness.  "I  see  that  I 
have  been  loving  a  woman  who  has  never 
existed.  That  is  what  hurts  so.  To  think  that 
for  sixteen  years  you  lived  in  East  Machias. 
To  think  that  you  are  the  daughter  of  a  travel- 
ing salesman — and  one  of  eleven  children — 
one  of — " 

"Gaillard,  don't  say  too  much." 

"And  I  had  thought — been  thinking — poetry 
— song — mystery." 

"Gaillard.  don't  be  silly.  You  couldn't  have 
believed  all  of  these  things,  literally." 

"To  think  that—" 

I.iliih  was  losing  her  temper.  As  Mildred 
P.  Means  she  had  lost  it  quite  frequently. 

"Well,  here  is  what  you  are  to  think — that 
I  was  named  Mildred  P.  Means  and  that  I 
considered  it  expedient,  not  to  say  more 
euphonious,  to  change  it.  That  my  poor, 
hard  working  and  thoroughly  respectable 
mother  had  eleven  children  and  the  very 
devil  of  a  time  trying  to  bring  them  up.  That 
my  father  was  a  traveling  salesman  and  not 
a  very  good  one  at  that.  That  money  was 
usually  short,  if  at  all.  and  that  these  shortages 
were  brought  home  to  us  very  unpleasantly, 
at  least  once  a  week,  by  the  various  butchers, 
green  grocers  and  butter  and  egg  men  in  our 
vicinity.  That  I  went  to  village  parties  in 
my  elder  sisters'  hand-me-downs  and  that  I 
had  a  beau  who  worked  in  the  local  garage. 
That—" 

"Oh,  Lilith,  please — please — I  have  cared 
so  much." 

"You  have  cared?  So  that  is  the  verdict, 
is  it?  Well,  I  might  have  known.  But  at 
least  I  have  been  honest  with  you,  GailLrd. 
I  hope  my — my  successor  will  be  as  honest. 
I  didn't  have  to  tell  you,  you  know — not  now — 
not  yet.  My  Past  is  carefully  strewn  over 
with  orchids  and  incense — it  would  have  been 
easy,  but  I  had  to  be  honest  with  love." 

Gaillard  looked  at  her,  for  the  first  time 
since  she  had  begun  to  speak.  He  saw  her 
ivory  face,  her  bronze  hair  with  the  green  and 
amber  lights,  her  silken  body,  drooping  now, 
like  a  flower,  her  slim,  long  hands — Mildred 
Means — Lilith  Flame.  What  was  the  differ- 
ence after  all?  Surely  from  out  the  Dark 
Ages  a  soul  had  come  to  dwell  in  the  incon- 
gruous   frame    of    East    Machias.     He    bent 


toward  her,  himself  again..  "I  love  you,  Lilith. 
I  love  you  with  a  love  that  is  great  enough 
to  forgive  you  even  this.  We  will  never 
mention  it  again.  It  will  be  as  if  it  had  never 
been.  We  v.  ill  forget.  We  all  have  things  in 
our  past  to  forget  and  who  among  us  shi 
cast  the  first  stone?'' 

Lilith    was   in   his   arms.     Honestly   r 
Securely.     "All  our  lives  together,"  she  mur- 
mured, "all  our  lives  together." 
***** 

T/WTY  knocked  and  Lilith  called.  "Come  in." 
i-v  She  guessed  that  Katy  had  bribed  Takio 
into  letting  her  announce  the  waiting  car. 
She  said,  "The-  tar.  Miss  Lilith.  the  car  is  at 
the  door.    Well,  for  the  land's  sake!" 

Lilith  stared,  stared.  Was  Katy  going  out 
of  her  honest,  stolid  mind?  She  certainly 
looked  it.  She.  Katy.  the  trained,  impersonal, 
retiring  servant  was  staring  at  Gaillard  De 
Coven,  arms  akimbo,  mouth  open,  im  redulous 
and  yes,  familiar. 

"For  the  good  land's  sake,"  she  repeated, 
loudly,  in  a  pre-stardom  tone  of  voice,  "if  it 
ain't  old  Pete  Hodgkin's  boy.  Pete  Junior. 
Wasn't  I  in  the  fifth  grade  with  him  myself? 
Didn't  I  live  a  block  away  from  him  in  West 
Machias?  Wouldn't  I  know  him  anywhere 
for  the  spitting  image  of  his  pa?  I'd  know 
you  in  Timbuctoo.  Pete,  for  all  the  fancified 
clothes  you've  got  on  you — you  and  Miss 
Mildred — well,  now.  the  pairo'  you.  Have  you 
been  back  to  Machias  lately?  Now  say, 
you've  got  along  real  good,  haven't  you?" 

Gaillard's  elegantly  manicured  hand  was 
pressed  against  his  high,  aristocratic  brow. 
"Lilith,"  he  said,  chokingly,  "I  feel  upset— 
couldn't  we — ?" 

Lilith.  enigmatic,  stern,  motioned  to  the 
suddenly  inarticulate  Katy  to  be  gone.  Sht 
took  Gaillard's  hand  from  his  unnaturally 
florid  face.  She  petted  his  head  with  soft 
little  taps  of  love,  of  forgiveness,  of  conspiracy. 
She  murmured  little  intimate  terms  of  adora- 
tion. She  had  the  beautiful  nicety  not  t< 
laugh.  She  carefully  and  tenderly  readjustee 
his  mask. 

"What  were  we  saying.  Lilith."  he  asked 
wearily,  from  the  shelter  of  her  arms,  "some 
thing  about  the  past — as  I  said,  we  all — ?' 

"We  were  speaking  about  living  the  Pas' 
down,  de-arest,  you  and  I — all  our  lives- 
together."

train,  my  skull  opened  to  make  sure  the 
presence  of  gray  matter  would  not  interfere 
with  my  acting,  and  finally  my  blood  was 
analyzed  and  a  long  file  of  ladies  with  ther- 
mometers in  their  mouths  was  led  past  me 
and  the  thermometer  readings  taken  to  see  if 
I  had  sufficient  S.  A.,  which  is  Hollywood  for 
sex  appeal 

I  awoke  early  with  horrible  sensation  that 
the  test  was  still  to  be  gone  through  with. 
Hiring  a  large  car,  my  son  and  I  drove  to  the 
studio. 

AT  the  studio  I  was  informed  Miss  Nilsson 
would  go  through  the  lest  with  me. 
"What  courage!"  I  thought.  "Brave  little 
woman."  Then.  "Maybe  she  loves  me  and 
wants  to  die  with  me  if  such  must  be." 
Suddenly  a  rough  bass  voice  from  somewhere 
yelled.  "Anytime,  Miss  Nilsson.  that  you're 
ready  to  be  shot ;  we're  all  set  on  stage  six." 

Sliot!  It  was  true!  She  was  going  to  die 
with  me.  We  went  to  stage  six.  My  son 
came  along.  So  did  Peter  B.  Kvik-  and  H.  C. 
Witwer. 

Arriving  on  stage  six.  however.  I  learned 
from   Lambert   llilyer.   the  director,  that   the 


test  was  merely  being  photographed  in  one  01 
the  scenes  from  the  forthcoming  play. 

Anna  Q.  and  I  ^we^e  told  what  the  story 
of  the  scene  was  and.  believe  me.  she  had  the 
best  of  it.  Her  back  was  to  the  camera  most 
of  the  time  and  while  I  was  registering  sorrow. 
thoughtfulness,  amusement  and  cynicism,  she 
was  reminding  me  of  fifty  cents  I've  owed  her 
for  years,  since  she  last  posed  for  me.  She 
said  I  ought  to  pay  her  since  I  won  that  chest 
expansion  contest.  But  I  was  acting.  I  was 
steeped  in  Histrionic  Art.     I  didn't  hear. 

I  glanced  out  of  the  set  once  to  see  the 
effect  my  work  was  having  on  my  audience. 
My  son  had  turned  his  back  and  was  watching 
Johnny  Boyle  operate  his  camera.  Pete  Kyne 
and  Harry  Witwer  were  watching  the  work 
in  another  set.  The  director  was  working  a 
cross  word  puzzle.     Anna  had  gone. 

That  evening  a  telegram  awaited  me  at  thel 
hotel.      It  was  urgent  I  return  to  Xew  York. I 

With  tears  of  apology  I  broke  this  news  tol

that  it  was  too  much  to  hope  I  would  grae~e|

\i»-  Thrills  Ever  Legitimate? 

Washington,  D.  (' 
I  want  to  express  my  disappointment  at 
"The  Road  to  Yesterday."  Why  did  not 
ho  Mille  have  the  original  modern  intro- 
duction? Instead  of  an  English  house  party 
where  an  American  girl,  tired  bv  visiting  the 
rs  and  other  romantic  places,  dreams 
of  the  past,  we  have  the  events  occur  Lncon 
grously  in  the  Grand  Canon  and  are  told  a 
hectic  story  of  atavistic  aversions  and  most 
modern  had  behavior.  The  only  decenl  thing 
in  the  tir-t  part  was  the  rather  pathetic  figure 
of  Joseph  Schildkraut. 

I  suppose  the  Grand  Canon  and  the  psy 
chopathetic  melodrama  were  introduced  for 
the  sake  of  thrills  but  it  seems  to  me  there 
were  enough  legitimate  thrills  in  the  nth 
century  part  for  the  modern  part  to  lie  con- 
vincing. 

If  I  had  not  liked  the  old  story  and  part 
of  the  treatment  of  it  in  the  movie  very  much, 
I  should  not  care  whether  the  first  part  were 
had  or  not  hut  I  hate  to  see  a  good  thing 
ruined  by  inconsistencies.

As  one  who  is  most  interested  in  the  progress 
of  motion  pictures,  I  feel  I  must  express  my 
gratitude  to  you  for  your  interesting  and 
pertinent  contribution  to  the  subject  in  the 
February  editorial  of  your  valuable  magazine. 

I  am  glad  to  know  there  is  nothing  vindictive 
or  mean  about  Mr.  Valentino  but  the  de- 
plorable lack  of  business  capacity  in  his  matri- 
monial affairs  is  the  cause  of  the  trouble. 
Love,  desire  for  children,  family  affection  are 
in  real  life,  of  course,  as  extinct  as  Dodo  and 
only  survive  in  the  films  for  their  spectacular 
value. 

Faced  with  her  husband's  ridiculously  old 
fashioned  views  and  failure  to  realize  that 
marriage  is  a  business  concern,  there  was 
naturally  no  course  open  to  Mrs.  Valentino 
as  a  noble  and  devoted  wife,  but  to  leave  her 
husband  without  delay  to  recoup  her  losses 
on  a  bad  investment  by  screening  her  marriage 
failure  and  so  to  achieve  her  status  as  a 
business  woman.

If  we  didn't  have  rain  once  in  a  while  we 
wouldn't  appreciate  the  sun  and  if  we  didn't 
have  a  few  pictures  that  weren't  so  good  we 
wouldn't  appreciate  the  good  pictures.  So 
why  don't  the  people  that  are  always  criticiz- 
ing the  pictures  remember  the  good  and  forget 
the  terrible?  I  always  do  that  and  it  agrees 
with  me  very  well.

The  alS[ewest  and  brightest 
Star  in  the  SMorie  Heavens 

"^TEVER  before  has  a  screen  player 
been  as  spontaneously  lifted  to 
the  pedestal  of  stardom  as  this 
beautiful  and  fascinating  daughter 
of  Maurice  Costello,  famous  star  of 
the  old  Vita&raph  days. 

In  the  two  pictures  in  -which  she  has 
appeared  in  important  roles,  leading  critics 
throughout  the  country  singled  her  out 
with  the  most  lavish  praise.  She  has  built 
up  a  following  of  admirers  overnight.  She 
is  today  the  most  interesting  personality  in 
the  screen  world. 

Warner  Bros,  take  pleasure  in  announcing 
that  Miss  Costello  will  be  starred  in  the 
future  in  Warner  Productions.

All  Sweetness  and  Lijiht 


South  Pasadena.  Calif. 

I  have  a  large  bouquet  for  each  actor  and 
actress  in  the  best  play  I  have  seen  in  a  very 
long  time,  "That  Royle  Girl." 

Of  course,  the  biggest  bouquet  goes  to 
Carol  Dempster.  She  is  the  most  fascinating 
actress  I  have  ever  seen.  She  is  not  just  a 
painted  doll,  who  struts  through  the  play  to 
show  of!  her  beauty  and  clothes.  She  has 
charm  and  talent.  I  couldn't  take  my  eyes 
oil  her  all  through  the  play.  Sometimes  she 
looks  beautiful  and  other  times  very  homely 
but  she  is  always  interesting. 

My  next  bouquet  is  given  to  Harrison  Ford. 
I  think  he  is  a  fine  actor.  I  don't  think  it  will 
be  very  long  before  he  will  be  one  of  the  most 
popular  actors  of  the  screen. 

I  must  not  forget  to  mention  W.  C.  Fields, 
lie  didn't  act  as  well  as  he  did  in  "Sally  of 
the  Sawdust."  although  he  was  very  good. 

Last,  but  not  least,  I  have  a  bouquet  for 
James  Kirkwood.  Although  I  have  never 
liked  him  very  well,  I  will  have  to  admit  he 
played  his  part  splendidly.

Pola  Has  a  Defender 

Roanoke.  Virginia. 

Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns,  in  upholding  Norma 
Talmadge  as  the  screen's  great  actress,  states 
that  Pola  Negri  has  given  only  one  great 
performance  to  the  films,  her  Du  Barry  in 
"Passion."  This  statement  is  ground  for  amuse- 
ment because  no  less  an  authority  than 
Xorma  Talmadge  herself  has  admitted  that 
the  greatest  acting  ever  seen  on  the  screen 
was  given  I  y  Pola  Negri  in  "Gypsy  Blood"! 

And  it  is  true!  Negri  did  not  give  the  usual 
artificial  Carmen  of  the  opera,  but  the  real 
Carmen  of  Prosper  Merimee.  the  author. 
Another  great  performance  which  Mrs.  St. 
Johns  seemingly  overlooked,  is  Negri's  philand- 
ering queen  in  "Forbidden  Paradise."  This  is 
easily  the  most  perfectly  balanced  character- 
ization yet  seen  in  motion  pictures.  So.  in 
place  of  only  one  great  rile.  Madame  Negri 
has  given  three  great  performances,  and  which 
are  sufficient  in  themselves  to  prove  her  the 
greatest  actress  on  the  screen  today.

Still.  Some  Agree 

Alexander  City.  .Via. 

I  wish  some  of  the  fans  would  learn  the 
difference  between  constructive  criticism  and 
knocking.  Most  of  them  seem  to  think  criti- 
cizing merely  means  knocking.  Well  it  doesn't. 
Criticizing  means  discussing  both  the  good  and 
bad  points  of  the  matters  concerned. 

One  should  think  twice  before  he  writes. 
Often  a  fan  on  the  impulse  of  the  moment 
writes.  "She  is  the  sourest,  ugliest  actress  on 
the  screen."  It  would  sound  much  better  for 
the  fan  to  write.  "She  doesn't  appeal  to  me 
at  all."    So  much  for  that. 

One  of  the  saddest  things  in  pictures  is  the 
little  credit  some  actors  and  actresses  get  for 
their  work.  Take  Bessie  Love,  for  example. 
She  is  truly  an  artist,  yet  she  misses  being  a 
screen  idol. 

Next,  look  at  Corinne  Griffith.  A  very 
beautiful  young  lady  but  not  by  any  sketch 
of  the  imagination  the  actress  that  Miss  Lo\"e 
is.  Yet  Miss  Griffith  is  very  popular  and  ranks 
among  the  leaders  in  the  film  world.  She  has 
been  giving  the  public  good  pictures,  but  say. 
Mi"  Love  has  done  much  more  than  Mi-~ 
Griffith  toward  elevating  the  standard  of  the 
cinema. 

I  wish  I  could  see  another  picture  similar 
to  "Quincy  Adams  Sawyer."  I  saw  that  film 
years  ago  but  it  still  lingers  in  my  memory. 
1  enjoy  such  pictures.  They  are  a  relief  from  so 
many  stilled  society  dramas. 

To  close  1  want  to  thank  the  writer  of  the 
article  about  Norma  Talmadge  that  appeared 
in  February's  Photoplay.  I  agree  with  it  in 
every  way.  Sarah  Segrest.

Love  for  Mary 

Colorado  Springs,  Colo. 

Would  thai  some  fairy  would  fashion  of  sun- 
beams, and  elfin  laughter,  a  fitting  tribute  to 
the  Queen  of  the  Kingdom  of  Childhood  .  .  .  . 
Mary  Pickford.  Was  there  ever  a  picture  that 
portrayed  so  delightfully  all  the  joys  and  tin- 
sorrows  of  childhood,  playing  a  melody  on  our 
heart  strings  as  charming  as  the  gay  little  tunc, 
from  which  it  took  its  name,  as  "Little  Annie 
Rooney"?  Yet  it  held  the  interest  of  the  audi- 
regardless  of  age,  to  the  last  reel. 

Many  thanks  to  all  who  had  a  hand  in  it's 
making,  and  my  sincerest  congratulations  to 
Miss  Pickford  for  her  realistic  portrayal  of  the 
title  r.'le.  She  is  the  Peter  Pan  of  the  screen. 
May  the  years  touch  her  lightly  so  that  she 
may  many  times  again  answer  the  cry  of  our 
hearts.  .  .  .  "Make  me  a  child  again  just  for 
tonight."

to  have  shunned  professing  admiration  for 
acknowledged  stars  of  the  day  in  preference 
to  one  whose  success  I  took  delight  in  visual- 
izing, I  now  join  in  the  praise  of  the  multitude 
to  a  nationally  known  star,  hero  of  "The  Count 
of  Monte  Cristo"  and  "St.  Elmo"'  as  well  as 
"The  Merry  Widow"  and  "The  Big  Parade." 
To  John  Gilbert  I  present  my  meagre  bouquet 
composed  of  best  wishes  for  the  future  and 
sincere  hopes  that  each  succeeding  picture  will 
be  better  than  the  last  and  a  master-piece  in

Rudy  Punctures  Another  Heart 

Prince  George,  Ya. 

T  am  young  again — not  in  age  but  in  heart 
for  I  have  been  thrilled  over  the  love  of  a  man. 
He  is  Rudolph  Yalentino.  once  the  screen  ideal 
of  happy  school  girls  but  never  of  grouchy  old 
maid-. 

Last  night  I  was  fortunate  enough  to  witness 
that  fas  inating  picture  'The  Black  Eagle"  and 
in  it  the  actor  at  whom  I  once  criticized, 
rebuked  and  sneered.  Xow  it  is  I  who  have 
fallen  a  worshiper  before  this  hero — calm,  yet 
passionate.  I  am  convinced  that  he  deserves 
now  all  the  praise  he  received  in  the  past. 

"The  Black  Eagle"  was  truly  a  magnificent 
picture  and  the  girl.  Yilma  Banky,  has  eyes 
that  can  melt  a  heart  of  steel.  I  hope  she 
will  meet  the  highest  peaks  of  success,  and 
when  hitching  her  wagon  to  a  star,  let  it  be 
Yalentino,  the  god  of  love.

This "hard-milled'soap,  used  every  day

There  is  a  radiant,  happy  beauty  in  a 
skin  that  has  the  fresh  satin-smooth' 
ness  that  Nature  gave  it — and  in- 
tended it  to  keep. 

But  so  many  skins  have  been  robbed 
of  their  fine-textured  loveliness  .  .  . 
show  coarsened  pores,  and  blemishes. 
And,  Oh,  the  heartaches  and  the  dis- 
appointments that  result  from  poor 
complexions!  Only  the  girl  who  suf- 
fers, knows. 

Soap,  of  Course — But  the  Right  Soap 

All  up-to-date,  scientific  advice  on  the 
care  of  the  skin  ur&es  the  daily  use  of 
soap  and  water.  It  is  the  kind  of  soap 
you  use  that  makes  all  the  difference  be- 
tween  safe  cleansing  and  the  danger  of 
coarsened,  blemished  skin.

It  is  "hard-milled,"  which  means  that  it  is

the  least  bit  squdgy.  This  special  hardness 
is  what  makes  it  so  safe.  Cashmere  Bouquet 
lather  penetrates  deep  into  the  pores,  searches 
out  dust  and  dirt  and  rinses  away  instantly 
and  completely.  No  undissolved  soap  re- 
mains in  the  pores.  That  is  why  skins  cared

youthful  texture  and  remain  beautiful.

This  photograph  of  HOOT  GIBSON  will  be  sent 
to  you  on  receipt  of  10  cents  in  stamps. 


Some  of  the  Sioux 
I  ndians  were  eager  to  eat 
Gen.  George  Custer's  heart, 
thinking  that  it  would  make 
them  as  fearless  as  he  was, 
but  so  great  was  the  respect 
in  which  he  was  held  by  the 
Sioux  Chiefs  that  they  would 
not  permit  his  body  to  be 
touched. 

In  Universal's  fine 
historical  drama,  "The 
Flaming  Frontier," 

Custer's  great  courage  at  the 
battle  of  the  Little  Big  Horn 
in  Montana,  is  wonderfully 
well  shown  and  the  historical 
incident  is  reproduced  as 
close  to  fact  as  eye-witnesses 
related  it. 


While  this  great  picture  abounds  in  thrills,  is  full 
of  wild  riding,  almost  unbelievable  deeds,  a  beautiful  ro- 
mance runs  through  it  in  which  HOOT  GIBSON  and  ANNECORN- 
WALL  are  the  lovers.  DUSTIN  FARNUM,  whose  name  and  fame 
are  known  everywhere,  plays  the  part  of  Gen.  Custer.  The  direc- 
tion is  by  Edward  Sedgwick,  whose  Western  pictures  have  been 
among  the  delights  of  the  movies. 

REGINALD  DENNY  has  certainly  succeeded 
admirably  with  "What  Happened  to  Jones"  and  I  am 

positive  he  will  register  a  greater  triumph  with  "Skinner's  Dress 
Suit."  These  are  two  of  the  fastest  and  most  hilarious  comedies 
the  screen  has  ever  produced. 

Be  on  the  lookout  for  Universal's  latest  pictures. 
There  are  many  gems,  such  as  "The  Cohens  and  the 
Kellys"  with  GEORGE  SIDNEY.  CHARLIE  MURRAY  and 
VERA  GORDON;  "His  People,"  "The  Still  Alarm"  and  "Chip 
of  the  Flying  U"  with  HOOT  GIBSON. 

Universal  is  offering  $500  in  prizes  for  a  good 
title  for  a  forth-coming  picture.  Write  to  Title  Competi-

Brickbats  for  Barthelmess 

Boulder,  Colo. 

I  have  just  returned  from  seeing  '"Just  [ 
Suppose"'  featuring  Richard  Barthelmess  and  I  | 
"just  suppose"  I  should  allow  myself  to  cool  [ 
down  and  give  the  "bad  taste"  a  chance  to  E 
wear  off  before  taking  aim  with  this  brickbat,    f 

A  Richard  Barthelmess  picture,  tome,  used  to   B 
be  the  kind  I  anticipated  seeing.     I  al 
looked  to  him  for  something  worth  seeing,  not   I 
only    because    of    his    capabilities   proven   in   I 
"Sonny"'  and  "Classmates"  but  because  of  the  I 
genuine  stories  which  he  so  vividly  portrayed 
.  .  .  the  kind  that  carried  a  strong  appeal,  an   | 
ideal,  the  type  of  story  that  made  him  one  of 
the  best  liked  actors. 

Do  producers  imagine  that  due  to  the  suc- 
cess he  gained  through  these  simple  stories 
it  is  necessary  to  throw  him  into  a  mild  story- 
less  comedy  or  bed  time  fable  of  a  make- 
believe  kingdom  in  order  to  hold  his  fan  follow  - 
ing?  Or  is  it  because  they  believe  that  Richard 
Barthelmess  alone,  without  story-  or  leading 
lady  will  draw  the  throngs? 

I  am  not  so  anxious  to  pass  out  free  advice, 
but  really,  wouldn't  it  be  pleasant  to  see 
Richard  in  one  of  his  old  time  "picture;  with 
a  leading  lady  who  could  at  least  give  some 
idea  why  she  was  chosen  for  the  part?

Another  Tribute 

Xew  York  City. 

It  is  with  great  unhappiness  I  witness  the 
passing  of  Barbara  La  Marr. 

I  am  grateful  indeed  to  have  been  one  of 
the  fortunate  few  to  have  personally  met  her 
and  my  greatest  tribute  to  this  very  wonderful 
woman  is  to  attempt  to  convey  her  fineness 
to  you. 

Hers  was  a  generous  and  honest  nature  with 
a  character  as  beautiful  as  her  features.  Never 
did  her  success  prevent  her  from  lending  a 
helping  hand  to  less  fortunate  ones. 

It  is  cruel  that  death  has  claimed  so  soon 
one  who  was  just  beginning  to  find  the  rays 
of  happiness  after  many  dark  years. 

But  beautiful  Barbara  La  Marr  was  too 
good,  too  wonderful  for  this  world  and  so  He 
called  her  to  His  realm  to  bring  happiness  in 
playing  forever  that  one  role  of  her  own 
genuine  self.

The  Foreign  Invasion 

Kersey.  Colo. 

Why  do  the  producers  import  foreign  talent? 
The  importation  started,  and  should  have 
ended  with  Pola  Negri.  Since  coming  to  this 
country  she  has  shown  only  occasional  flashes 
to  incite  interest  in  her.  Except  for  making 
the  front  page  with  marvelous  regularity  she 
has  most  emphatically  failed  to  justify  the 
high  hopes  we  had  of  her.  The  smouldering 
genius  of  "Passion"  is  no  more. 

Every  time  a  comparative  unknown  gets  a 
fat  part  and  a  chance  at  the  fur  coats  and 
Rolls  Royces,  I  rejoice  with  her.  IF  she  is  an 
American.  But  why  the  Greta  Garbos,  the 
Greta  Nissens  and  the  Yilma  Bankys?  I 
have  not  seen  Mis<  Garbo  as  yet.  Miss 
Nissen  has  an  appeal  that  is  purely  pictorial. 
Miss  Hanky  has  beauty,  brains  and  breeding, 
and  is  a  capable  actress,  and  I  admire  her  BUT 
there  are  thousands  of  beautiful,  intelligent 
and  well  bred  girls  in  Hollywood  languishing 
for  the  great  chance.  And  there  are  no  doubt 
many  of  these  girls,  who.  if  given  a  chance 
(witness  Betty  Bronson,  Dorothy  Sabastian 
and  Man-  Brian"1  could  give  as  good,  if  not 
better,  performances  than  the  Scandinavians 
who  arc  running  our  lilms. 

Let's  give  the  home  girls  a  chance,  let  Ger- 
many. Sweden,  Poland  and  the  Lord  knows 
where  else  have  their  respective  Mary  Pick- 
fords  AND  pay  their  salaries.  If  we  must  be 
high  hatted,  let  it  be  by  Americans!

Hollywood's  Real  Hermit 


|  CON  tINUl  D  i  ROM  PAGE  54  I 

probably  on  an  uni  rowded  Tuesdaj      Vnd  l  e 
cause  he  likes  the  Food 

If  he  drives  down  Hollywood  Boulevard  he 
wears  huge  tortoise  rimmed  glasses,  amethyst- 

lined 

And  he  usually  waits  until  the  s,H»n. 1  day 
after  a  brave  opening  performance 

So  you  will  note,  as  well  as  1,  that  Harrison 
Ford  is  as  different  from  the  usual  order  ol 
motion  picture  persons  as  Madame  Bo\  ary  and 
Pollyanna.  Not  in  moral  qualities;  of  course 
Nor  psychologically.  Hut  merely  in  vastness 
of  i  omparison. 

(Her  the  'plume  when  we  arranged  our  ren- 
OUS,  his  \oiee  was  mournful,  and  a  trifle 
muffled:  "I'm  dumb, " 

"That's  tine,"  1  answered  brightly,  thinking 

he  referred   to   the   weather.      Prat    telephone 
conversations! 
"I'm  dumb!"    The  voice  was  louder.    And 

as  mournful. 

No  wonder  I  was  unprepared  for  the  sports 
clad  young  man  who  sauntered  into  the  l'o\ 
Studios,  where  he  was  appearing  in  Margaret 
Livingston's  tir-t  starring  picture,  "  Hell's  Four 
Hundred." 

Confidentially,  ami  by  his  own  misleading 
admission,  I  expected  a  bovine  and  stolid 
young  man  of,  perhaps,  the  screen  appearance 
of  Harry  Langdon  or  Buster  Keaton  in  their 
most  asinine  cinematic  moments,  but  instead 
came  two  eyes,  supported  by  the  conventional 
male  physique 

Two  of  the  most  piercing  brown  eyes.  Pene- 
trating. Expressive.  Harrison  Ford's  eyes  are 
baffling.  As  baffling  as  his  personality.  His 
eyes  are  not  quizzical,  a  bit  sad  ami  haunting 
like  Ronald  Oilman's.  Xor  are  they  emotion- 
swept  like  Jack  Gilbert's. 

They  are  glowing  .  .  .  intense  .  .  .  and  yet 
strangely  remote. 

In  some  respects  they  arc  maddening  eyes. 
They  could  easily  drive  a  talkative  woman  to 
distraction.  I  don't  mean  by  their  fervid  gaze 
— which  would,  at  the  opportune  time,  sit 
pulse  a-pounding — but  by  their  bland  imper- 
turbability. Women  do  like  to  be  listened  to. 
even  if  their  comments  are  the  most  trivial,  and 
Harrison's  whimsical  gaze  seems  to  sjive  just  a 
portion  of  his  attention.  Not  an  ill-mannered 
portion,  you  must  understand.  Rut  a  woman 
would  have  that  uncomfortable — and  madden- 
ing!— sensation  of  knowing  that  the  greater 
part  of  his  thoughts  were  winging  through  the 
freedom  of  some  far  away  place. 

That  is  the  way  he  impresses  you — until 
hooks  are  mentioned.  Then  you  realize  why  he 
i>  an  anchoiite.  so-called. 

Harrison  doesn't  buy  books  because  the 
bindings  match  the  color  scheme  of  the  library 
or  because  the  intricate  design  on  a  hand-tooled 
volume  delights  him.  He  buys  books  because 
he  enjoys  their  lasting  friendship.  He  really 
loves  books.  Which  is  a  true  way  of  expressing 
real  regard  for  literature  when  love  is  so  lightly 
regarded  these  days. 

V\  7ITH  Dreiser  making  his  profound  appear- 
*V  ance  in  our  conversation — Anne  Parrish 
and  her  "Perennial  Bachelor"  skipping  in  for  a 
sentence— Percy  Marks'  "Martha"  calling  for 
her  short  digression,  and  Harrison's  remarkal  le 
eyes  gleaming  in  full  appreciation  of  Xorman 
Douglas'  "South  Wind."  it  was  with  mincing 
steps  that  I  made  any  progress  toward  the  life 
history  of  the  erudite  Mr.  Ford. 

''Where  were  you  born,  Mr.  Ford?"  Plop! 
From  a  wind-swept  isle  in  the  Mediterranean  to 
reality.  A  curtain  of  whimsicality  filmed  the 
Ford  eyes. 

"Well,  now,  where  is  a  good  place  to  be 
born?  Where  would  one  get  a  lot  of  pub- 
licity? " 

"You  might  say  China.  William  V.  Mong 
did,  because  his  name  savored  of  the  Celestial 
Fmpire." 


W\vxt  a  world  of  difference 
just  the  right  stocking  makes! 

WHAT  a  triumph  of  design  the 
"Pointex"  heel  really  is!  It  not 
only  makes  "Onyx  Pointex"  stockings 
more  wear-resisting,  but,  we  say  it  ad- 
visedly, more  STARE-resisting  as  well. 
"Pointex"  allows  the  ankle  to  look 
its  best.  It  conveys  an  impression  of 
slender  smartness  even  where  that 
quality  can  ONLY  be  an  impression. 

The  ordinary  ankle  in  the  ordinary 
stocking  is  still  ordinary.  In  "Pointex" 
it  assumes  a  new  quality  of  charm — 
a  new  gracefulness — a  new  beauty. 
See  for  yourself  just  by  insisting  upon 
"Onyx  Pointex".  Sold  by  leading

''Then  I  was  horn  in  Detroit.  My  name  is 
Ford!" 

But  really  Harrison  Ford  was  born  in  Kansas 
City,  Missouri.  And  he  has  a  charming  sister. 
And  a  mother  to  whom  he  is  fondly  devoted. 
And  he  was  reared  in  that  Middle  Western 
town.  And  eight  years  ago  he  went  on  the 
screen.  And  he  has  never  been  on  the  stage 
And  lie  has  played  with  practically  every  star 
of  the  screen.  And  he  has  nothing  but  admira- 
tion for  their  art,  their  beauty  and  themselves. 
Delightful  man!    Gracious  man!    Wise  man!! 

Harrison  has  frequently  been  chosen  for 
Marion  Davies'  leading  man.  For  Marion  he 
has  great  admiration,  but  his  greatest  admira- 
tion goes  to  Marion's  generosity — her  goodness 
of  heart.  He  tells  of  one  Christmas  —  it  is 
Marion's  custom  to  have  a  huge  basket  of 
goodies  for  each  of  the  workers  on  her  set — 


when  two  new  electricians  were  put  at  work  on 
Christmas  morning  and  Marion  had  made  no 
arrangements  for  them.  Of  all  the  quiet  scurry- 
ing and  bustling  that  went  on  at  Marion's  bid- 
ding, and  when  the  appointed  time  came,  how 
every  last  worker — including  the  two  new  elec- 
tricians —  were  remembered  with  bounteous 
baskets. 

Back  to  Harrison — with  Dreiser  again  pok- 
ing his  leonine  head  into  the  conversation  and 
even  sophisticated,  dapper  Arlen  dropping  in 
for  a  brave  moment.  .  .  "Married.  Mr.  Ford?" 
The  half-whimsical  look  in  his  most  remark- 
able eyes,  and : "  Really,  I'd  prefer  not  stating. " 
But  Fm  quite  sure  he  is  not — now.  .  .  . 
although  he  was  at  one  time  in  his  secluded 
career. 

"...  by  the  way,  have  you  read  Anderson' s 
'Dark  Laughter'  ?  "

of  invincible.  In  all  her  festive  groupings 
Marion,  true  to  the  testament,  is  invariably 
the  least  of  all. 

Because  of  this  constitutional  sensitiveness 
she  is  prone  to  suspect  people  of  high-hatting 
her.  And  she's  just  as  liable  to  suspect  an 
electrician  as  a  duke,  being,  like  Mabel 
Xormand,  so  hopelessly  socialistic  as  to  have 
no  sense  of  rank  or  prestige. 

Her  recent  costume  ball,  of  which  I  speak  in 
Close-Ups  and  Long  Shots  (Adv.),  was  of  a 
democracy  which  princes,  like  Wales,  enjoy. 
She  forced  Napoleon  to  do  a  solo  Charleston. 
Napoleon  in  this  instance  was  Charlie  Chaplin, 
but  she'd  have  compelled  the  original  to  do  the 
same  back  at  Versailles. 

SHE  was  aroused  one  Sunday  morning  early 
by  the  butler  announcing  a  Mr.  Roberts  to 
see  her. 

She  insisted  she  didn't  know  a  Mr.  Roberts. 

"Oh,  yes,"  insisted  the  butler  mysteriously. 

"But  I  don't." 

"You  had  better  see  him."  insisted  the 
butler  ominously. 

So  she  arose,  flung  on  whatever  a  lady  flings 
on  in  such  hurried  moments,  and  went  down 
the  stairs  to  behold  a  tramp  seated  in  her  draw- 
ing room. 

She  declares  she  recognized  Sid  Grauman  in- 
stantly, for  all  his  hobo  make-up.  At  any  rate 
she  listened  to  his  persuasions  to  go  forth  and 
bury  gold  in  the  beach  at  Santa  Monica,  this 
by  way  of  an  advertising  stunt  for  "The  Gold 
Rush''  which  Grauman  was  showing. 

Putting  on  that  antique  costume  known  as 
shirtwaist-and-skirt,  stuffing  pillows  fore  and 
aft,  and  topping  off  the  ensemble  with  a 
Merry  Widow,  she  affixed  spectacles  to  her 
nose,  which  she  rouged  slightly  for  the  occa- 
sion, drew  artistic  "water  bags"  beneath  her 
eyes  and  sailed  forth  to  bury  the  treasure  where 
the  crowds  already  were  digging  in  response  to 
the  advertising  announcements. 

Sweeping  aside  a  luncheon  engagement,  an 
appointment  for  driving  and  tea.  she  spent  the 
whole  day  lolling  in  the  sands  with  the  money- 
grubbing  hoi  polloi.  A  newspaper  reporter 
recognized  Sid,  but  not  la  beUa  Davies. 

At  a  swagger  dinner  party  recently,  when 
things  were  lagging,  the  host  noted  a  dreamy, 
far-away  look  in  the  eyes  of  the  Davies. 

"What  have  you  on  your  mind?"  he  asked. 

"Oh,  nothing,"  said  Marion,  with  a  pensive 
sigh. 

"You  have  an  idea,"  he  insisted.  "Some- 
thing you  want  to  do?" 

"Well."  quavered  Marion  reluctantly,  "I 
was  just  thinking  how  nice  it  would  be  if  we  all 
went  down  to  the  shooting  gallery  at  Venice." 

Thus  another  party  went  over  the  top  out  of 
boredom  with  Marion  in  the  lead. 


Marion  Davies  has  performed  the  hardest 
feat  in  pictures.  Others  have  tried  it,  but 
she  alone  has  succeeded: 

She  started  at  the  top  and  worked  up. 

The  reigning  beauty  of  New  York's  musical 
shows,  she  was  beguiled,  as  beauties  are  ever 
beguiled,  to  play  a  star  role  in  a  motion 
picture.    It  was  titled  "Runaway  Romany." 

"It  was  a  terrible  picture."  sighs  Marion. 
"I  wrote  it.  The  producer  thought  ft  would  be 
a  good  publicity  stunt  for  me  to  write  it.  So  I 
contributed  some  ideas,  and  someone  put  them 
down.  It  may  have  been  a  publicity  stunt,  but 
it  wasn't  a  picture!" 

Commencing  her  young  career  as  star  and 
authoress  in  one  breath,  she  had  a  lot  to  live 
down.  Then  came  the  series  of  Cosmopolitan 
productions  through  which  she  rose  to  find 
herself  as  a  comedienne. 

When  it  was  the  style  for  the  critical  sheep  to 
bah  at  the  ability  of  the  highly  exploited 
Marion,  I  let  out  a  bellow  to  the  effect  that  she 
was  far  more  seductive  than  most  of  the  ladies 
who  were  skating  by  without  a  challenge. 

Later  the  music  turned  to  her  balcony,  and 
the  psalm-singing  gradually  rolled  up  to  such  a 
volume  that  now  she's  the  most  glorified 
favorite  in  Hollywood.  So  glorified,  in  fact, 
that  for  the  sake  of  originality  I'd  like  to  pull  a 
sour  note.  I'm  nothing  if  not  original.  (The 
answer  in  the  back  of  the  book  is:  Nothing.') 

First  it  was  Adela  Rogers  St.  Johns  who 
hurried  in  after  Marion's  arrival  in  town  to 
inform  me  that  I'd  simply  adore  her.  such  wit, 
such  charm,  such  everything  paragonic. 

Ramon  Novarro  staggered  in  a  little  later, 
badly  winged,  to  describe  the  new  arrival,  who. 
it  appeared,  was  so  real,  so  natural,  so  devoid 
of  pose  as  to  be  quite  foreign  to  the  movie 
realm. 

npIIF  kid  brother  was  the  next  to  take  a 
-L  header.  A  good  scout,  he  kept  muttering, 
a  wonderful  scout. 

Finally,  James  R.  Quirk,  another  of  the 
retinue,  led  me  out  to  her  set.  and  I've  been  in 
the  traffic  ever  since. 

If  anyone  should  say.  "God  protect  me  from 
my  friends."  it's  Marion.  Her  coterie,  which 
has  come  to  embrace  about  the  entire  industry, 
does  so  much  whooping  for  her  charms  that 
when  you  come  to  see  her  on  the  screen  you  are 
prepared  for  a  gigantic  combine  of  Bernhardt. 
Duseand  Lillian  Russell.  And  you're  probably 
pleasantly  disappointed. 

Marion  is  a  comedienne  of  light  and  delicacy, 
as  she  has  indicated  in  "  Little  Old  New  York." 
"Adam  and  Eva,"  and  now  in  "Beverly  of 
Graustark."  And  still  she  hasn't  given  a  half 
the  charm  that  makes  her  the  local  favorite. 
When  she  does  let  go  I  pale  to  think  what  will 
happen  to  the  other  comediennes.

lirst  to  endorse  my  casa  whole  lieartedly,  w  hii  h 
is  not  to  be  surprised  at,  says  Adela  St  Johns, 
as  Jack  is  also  a  nut. 

Jack  has  liuilt  a  Mexican  house  on  a  hill  top 
above  King  Vidor's  so  as  he  can  throw  dead 
bottles  and  other  tributes  onto  his  director's 
root  top.  There  is  one  bedroom  in  black  and 
white,  with  a  huge  ebony  crucifix  against  the 
white  wall  over  the  black  bed,  and  a  black 
prtdieu  with  a  prayer  book  lying  open  on  the 
top.  The  room  holds  sacred  memories,  being 
an  exact  duplicate  of  the  one  in  "The  Merry 

Widow"    wherein    Jack    did (Censored: 

substitute  "get  fresh  with")  — Mae  .Murray. 

I  ALWAYS  wanted  to  he  a  writer  and  still 
do,"  remarked  Jaek.  tactfully,  as  he  eyed 
my  typewriter.  Then  tactlessly,  "I  started  to 
he  one  once  because  I  thought  my  nose  was 
too  big  for  pictures  " 

Noting  that  I  bridled  at  this,  having  an  ap- 
pendage of  pure  Greek  heritage,  he  said  he 
didn't  mean  that  a  big  nose  qualified  him  as  a 
writer  but  that  it  did  disqualify  him  as  an 
actor  until  his  face  had  a  chance  to  grow  up 
to  it. 

JACK  asked  me  what  I  considered  as  neces- 
sary qualifications  for  a  writer. 

"Well,  first  of  all,"  I  said,  putting  on  my 
horn-rimmed  glasses,  "you  ought  to  know 
Alice   Terry." 

A  letter  from  Alice  in  France  informs  me  of 
the  unsurprising  news  that  writers  are  Hocking 
to  the  Riviera  since  her  arrival.  Frederick 
Lonsdale,  dramatist  of  "Spring  Cleaning,"  is 
there,  and  Michael  Arlen,  who  is  still  collecting 
money  with  his  old  green  hat.  If  I'm  to  com- 
pete in  wit  with  such  as  these  I'll  have  to  hurry 
to  France  even  if  it  requires  a  supreme  sacri- 
fice. I  dare  say  that  under  Alice's  sophisticated 
inlluence  Michael's  next  contribution  will  make 
"The  Green  Hat"  look  like  a  white  woolly  baby 
bonnet. 

IWOXDER  sometimes  why  more  youths 
don't  tackle  writing  for  the  movie  magazines. 
It  pays  well,  as  my  lands  and  lowing  herds  do 
testify.  You  don't  need  to  know  anything 
about  grammar,  which  is  so  troublesome  in 
other  forms  of  writing,  and  you  are  practically- 
fed  free. 

"How  do  you  go  about  writing  an  inter- 
view?" a  correspondent  asks.  "Is  it  an  art 
requiring  special  study?" 

Ans.:  Xo,  all  you  need  is  pictures,  which  the 
press  agent  supplies,  with  enough  words  packed 
around  them  to  make  the  page  look  like  your 
money's  worth.  Any  kind  of  words  will  do  as 
the  editor  never  bothers  to  read  them,  the 
stars  can't  read  them,  and  the  public  only 
looks  at  the  pictures. 

Of  course,  with  a  page  like  this  one  you  are 
handicapped  because  there  are  no  pictures. 
So  you  have  to  rely  on  inspiration,  and  in- 
spiration comes  from  God,  as  Milton  would 
say,  or  from  the  bootlegger,  as  Scott  Fitzgerald 
might  say,  or  from  your  friends,  as  honest 
Herb  would  orate. 

The  reason  I  Boswell  a  select  coterie  is  that 
it  keeps  me  from  being  found  out.

No  matter  how  many  stories  you  have

you  say  she  does,"  asks  Suspicious,  "or  do 
you  make  them  up  for  her  to  say?" 

Ans.:  Lady.  I  thank  you.  But  I  want  you 
to  keep  your  illusions,  so  will  not  send  you  an 
autographed  picture,  the  idea  being  prevalent 
that  beauty  is  brainless. 

"Is  Ramon  Novarro  really  as  brilliant  as 
you  make  him  appear  to  be?"  asks  Stupefied. 

Ans.:  He  is  more  than  that,  madame.  He  is 
as  brilliant  as  he  makes  me  appear  to  be. 

Writers  complain  that  stars  don't  appreciate 
what  is  done  for  them.  So  I  just  want  to  say 
that  I'm  one  star  who  appreciates  very  much 
what  writers  do  for  him. 

So  long  as  Rex  Ingram  lets  Alice  Terry  spend 
three  months  of  the  year  in  the  United  States 
I  can  hold  my  job,  and  I'm  willing  to  let  her 
spend  the  other  nine  with  him  as  I  realize  he 
needs  three  times  as  many  to  hold  bis. 

JOSEPH  SCHENCK  says  the  greatest  need 
J  of  pictures  is  for  scenario  writers.  I'm  sure 
I  don't  know  why  so  many  fellows  go  around 
selling  oil  stock  when  they  could  make  more 
just  as  criminally  selling  scenarios.  The  idea 
that  writers  starve  in  garrets  is  as  passe  as 
petticoats.  The  truth  is  we're  all  enormously 
rich.  Frances  Marion,  queen  of  the  scenarists, 
has  the  biggest  and  highest  house  in  Beverly 
Hills  from  which  she  can  toss  alms  down  to  the 
poor  little  movie  stars  in  their  hovels  below. 

Carey  Wilson,  who  collaborated  with  Bess 
Meredith  on  the  continuity  of  "Ben  Hur. "  is 
building  a  house  up  the  street  that  makes  the 
Tower  of  London  look  like  a  fakey  miniature. 
He  has  such  an  elaborate  set  of  burglar  alarms 
to  protect  his  wife's  jewels  and  furs  that  if  a 
poor  little  thief  ever  broke  in.  the  din  of  gongs, 
whistles,  bugles  and  cannons  would  disturb  the 
slumber  of  cops  in  Xew  York.  And  Willis 
Goldbeck,  youth  of  26  with  money  in  six 
banks  —  booty  collected  from  scenarioiz- 
ing  "Scaramouche."'  "Peter  Pan,"  "Mare 
Nostrum "  and  other  trifles — staggered  into 
my  villa  the  other  evening  in  a  suicidal  frame 
of  mind.  He  had  contracted  a  violent  head- 
ache from  checking  up  his  fortune  to  ninety- 
nine  thousand  dollars  cash,  say  nothing  of  real 
estate,  and  he  was  wondering  what  in  the 
world  he  had  to  live  for.  I  am  glad  to  say  I  was 
able  to  send  him  home  whistling,  as  I  always 
have  some  wildcat  solution  for  friends  in  this 
predicament. 

If  I  can  think  of  nothing  better  I  borrow 
from  them.  Nearly  everyone  in  town  owes  me 
his  life. 

GRETA  GARBO.  late  of  the  foreign  fjords. 
made  her  American  debut  in  "The  Tor- 
rent," and  I  was  there  to  give  the  little  girl  a 
hand,  as  I  always  am  when  a  foreigner  needs  a 
welcome.  Greta  exerts  an  evil  fascination — on 
the  screen. 

True  her  debut  was  not  auspiciously  placed 
in  "The  Torrent,"  which  is  in  reality  a  bab- 
bling brook  that  runs  on  forever,  with  make- 
ups and  bust-ups  between  hero  and  heroine — 
now-she-loves-him-now-she-don't  until  the  end 
and  beyond.  The  only  extraordinary  thing 
about  the  picture  is  that  it  is  not  above  the 
average,  which  is  most  extraordinary  for 
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. 

Greta  is  certainly  a  distinctive  personality. 
I  recommend  her  whole-heartedly  to  the  men 
folk  (better  leave  the  little  wife  at  home).  She 
h.\>  an  exceedingly  sensitive  face.  And  she's 
unique  in  this:  she's  the  first  actress  with 
dramatic  nostrils. 

This  is  not  said  in  a  comic  strip  spirit.  They 
really  are  expressive.  So  are  her  eyes,  her  lips, 
her  hands,  her  ....  Oh,  go  see  her  and  sing 
it  for  yourself. 

WILL.  I  guess  that's  enough  for  my  diary 
this  month.  I've  got  to  go  and  fix  myself 
up  for  a  luncheon  date  with  Renee  Adoree.  I 
wonder  if  I  will  affect  her  like  Jack  Gilbert  did 
in  "The  Big  Parade."

ihi>  lime,  king  kept  the  key  to  his  former 
residence,  though  by  now  he  \\a>  a  successful 
director  come  into  his  own  while  Florence  «as 
ju>t  winning  a  niche  for  herself  as  an  actress. 

"Yes,  ii  is  a  pity,"  Florence  admitted  to  us 
once.  "We  did  struggle  through  the  early 
days  together  and  now  .  .  .  ,"  a  shrug  that 
convey  ill  0I1,  so  much. 

Florence  became  acquainted  with  herself, 
[ods,  she  had  sc\.  appeal  and  all  these 
years  had  been  unaware  01  that  alluring  fact. 
She  commenced  to  gather  friends  around  her. 
One  day,  King  returned  to  the  house  1 
what  mail  there  was  for  him.  He  lei  himself 
in  with  his  key.  A  youth  accompanied  him 
The  house  was  homey  and  comfy  and  cheery. 
King  sighed. 

"You  love  Florence,"  the  youth,  who  was 
a  friend,  accused. 

Kl\tl  admitted  there  was  some  truth  and 
much  poetry  in  the  accusation.   \\  hy  not ? 
Differences  of  opinion  do  noi  necessarily  make 

folks  enemies.  lie  gazed  out  of  the  window 
at  the  tennis  court  where  Florence,  beautiful 
and  gay,  was  playing  a  love  set  with  George 
Fitzmaurice. 

So  divorce  followed  leisurely  on  the  heels 
of  separation.  Was  King  of  "The  Big  Parade" 
going  to  marry  Eleanor  Boardman?  Denials. 
Folks  shook  befuddled  heads.  They  couldn't 
make  heads  or  tails  of  the  mixup. 

Florence  and  George  Fitzmaurice,  Ouida 
Bergere's  ex-husband  and  also  a  director. 
announced  their  engagement  and  forthcoming 
marriage. 

"1  give  you  odds  thai  newer  comes  off," 
an  acquaintance  sprang  on  us. 

"Spurned,"  we  retorted,  being  suspicious 
of  the  ways  of  the  impossible. 

Boy  Cupid  doesn't  know.  Ouida  Bergere 
was  supposed  to  have  yessed  Basil  Rathbun, 
the  actor,  months  ago.  The  marriage  was 
postponed  and  explanations  also.  Ouida 
was  once  mad  about  Fitzmaurice. 

Jack  Pickford,  restless  brother  of  Mary, 
married  .Marilyn  Miller  several  years  ago  and 
the  optimists  offered  odds  it  wouldn't  take. 
"Give  'em  six  months  and  then  we're  being 
generous." 

They  lost,  by  nearly  eighteen  months.  Then 
along  trotted  Hen  Finney,  reported  scion  of  a 
well-to-do  southern  family.  Ben  Finney  had 
once  edged  Ben  Lyon  out  of  an  impassioned 
love.  The  tables  turned.  Ben  Finney  de- 
parted for  China,  evidently  to  learn  if  China- 
eggs  were  manufactured  by  cartloads  or  car- 
loads.   Ben  Lyon  breezed  in. 

Marilyn  and  Ben,  the  Jungle  Crown  Prince, 
swapped  ideas,   ideals,  and  I-don't -knows. 

"They're  engaged,"  ejaculated  the  blase, 
stirred  to  enthusiasm.  (Xote:  when  you're 
married  and  separated,  it  is  legitimate  to  be 
engaged  in  the  flicker  world  just  as  much  as  if 
your  name  appears  in  the  social  register.) 

"Marilyn  is  going  to  Paris  this  summer  to 
get  a  divorce  from  Jack,  and  Ben  will  meet 
her  there  and  they'll  be  spliced,"  opines  the 
street  of  the  White  Lights  and  tired  hearts. 

Boy  Cupid,  we  turn  to  you.  Please  wire, 
collect. 

Eyes  focus  smartly  ahead  and  concentrate 
on  Lillian  dish,  purveyor  of  emotional  hysteria 
in  celluloid.  Xow  that  Lillian  has  made  the 
varsity  and  won  her  "Scarlet  Letter,"  who 
will  lie  her  next  heart  victim? 

When  D.  W.  Griffith  allowed  the  elder  Gish 
to  leave  his  fold,  there  were  those  who  sighed 
and  said:    "That's  over.  " 

When  Charles  Duell  crossed  the  stormy 
Atlantic  to  join  his  "White  Sister"  in  Florence, 
the  cables  agitated  a  la  Vesuvius  and  steamed 
stories  across  the  deep.    Mrs.  Duell  was  going

to  divorce  her  husband  because  he  was 
engaged  to  a  Gish. 

"Komola"  brought  the  law  courts  and  the 
carrots  into  prominence.  Lillian  sued  the 
erstwhile  assaulter  of  her  heart  and  won.  He 
was  broken.  Joseph  Hergesheimer  penned  a 
glowing  article  al>out  the  mouse-y  Lillian  for 
a  ritzy  magazine.  Ah,  ha-a-a-a,  breathed  the 
breathers.  But  it  was  not  Mr.  Hergesheimer. 
It  was  George  Jean  Nathan,  one  of  the  editcrs 
of  this  periodical. 

Where  Mr.  Xathan  went,  Miss  Gish  went. 
His  people  were  her  people.  Mr.  Xathan  re- 
signed from  the  magazine  with  which  he  had 
been  so  long  associated.  It  was  said  that  he 
would  write  original  screen  stories  for  Miss 
Gish.  Suddenly,  they  broke.  Perhaps  the 
clever  Mr.  Xathan  was  too  wise  to  try  the 
movies.  Lillian  eventually  went  West  to 
make  pictures.  Mr.  Xathan  remained  East. 
A  nice  guy,  this  Xathan  boy,  very  nice,  and 
he  doffs  his  highbrow  when  he  leaves  his 
typewriter.  Will  the  quiet  Lillian,  with  her 
peculiar  brand  of  vamping,  break  loose  again? 

Boy  Cupid,  please  respond. 

THICKER-LAND'S  latest  reel  of  inside  shoot- 
-*-  ings  reveals  Xorma  Shearer  and  Jack  Gilbert 
are  finding  much  in  common.  Can  it  be? 
It  can  and  it  can't.  Xorma  has  never  attempt- 
ed a  matrimonial  sail.    Jack  is  a  veteran. 

Jack  was  once  married  to  Leatrice  Joy  who 
prided  her  career  above  wifeliness  and  forsook 
the  domestic  roof  every  time  she  made  a 
picture  for  Cecil  De  Mille.  Since  their  divorce. 
Leatrice  goes  around  now  and  then,  but  shuns 
the  cooing  dove  act.  Jack  seems  determined 
to  be  fancy  free. 

Is  Richard  Barthelmess  going  to  give  his 
Mary  a  divorce?  He  is  not.  He  spurns  any 
such  move.  Yet  Dick's  name  was  news- 
paperlv  associated  with  Millicent  Rogers,  the 
Countess  Salm.  Whilst  on  the  Coast,  he  has 
been  seen  with  Barbara  Bennett,  tempestuous 
sister  of  that  erstwhile  heart-slayer.  Constance, 
who  is  now  Mrs.  Phil  Plant,  a  social  princess 
with  millions.  Dick  cannot  make  a  move  but 
they  try  to  plant  him  in  matrimony.  It's  part 
of  the  price  of  success. 

Boy  Cupid  must  certainly  have  a  feverish 
time  re-vamping  the  files  devoted  to  the 
cinema  colony.  For  in  this  silent  drama  realm, 
which  is  as  silent  as  a  nest  of  hungry  baby 
blackbirds,  romance  stalks  day  and  night. 
Personalities  meet,  tread  on  others,  flare,  only 
to  chill  and  part  and  continue  playing  blindly 
and  debonairly  the  jazz  of  syncopated  heart 
strings. 

Oh.  dear,  we  do  so  pity  poor  Boy  Cupid  and 
his  complicated  job  of  keeping  apace  of  starry 
heart  palps.

This  boy,  for  he  « ill  always  be  a  boy  with  liis 
enthusiasms,  his  wistfulness,  bis  chivalry,  really 
dug  his  way  to  the  top. 

WHEN  si\  years  old,  Monti's  father  died  in 
a  train  wreck.  His  mother,  left  penniless 
with  lour  boys,  ha. I  to  |  lace  two  of  them  in  an 
orphanage,  being  too  frail  to  shoulder  so  hea>  j 
a  burden  Monte  remained  in  tin-  asylum 
until  he  rounded  into  his  sixteenth  birthday, 
whereupon  In-  made  his  second  entrance  into 
the  world  to  work  his  way  through  high  si  hool 
and  then  depart  on  his  odyssey  He  dug  coal 
in  a  Pennsylvania  mini',  labored  on  an  Ohio 
railroad,  drifted  to  Montana  to  punch  cattle. 
In  Seattle,  hi-  turned  "red"  and  soap  boxed 
from  the  best  corners,  until  Seattle  made  it 
more  interesting  for  him  to  depart  than  to 
remain 

Being  dry,  vocally  and  financially,  he  hit  the 
rails  into  Los  Angeles,  arriving  in  the  City  of 
the  Angels  with  a  Hades  complexion,  a  cherubic 
disposition,  and  a  worldly  desire  to  slay  a 
porterhouse  -teak.  That  was  Saturday.  His 
complexion  changed  to  normal,  his  disposition 
became  porcupine-ish,  his  worldly  desire  to 
annihilate  a  steak  more  worldly  as  he  had  not 
a  cent  in  his  pocket  and  was  too  proud  to  beg. 
He  didn't  eat  until  the  next  Tuesday!  That 
momentous  day  saw  him  apply  with  other  men 
at  I).  \V.  Griffith's  studio.  When  the  appli- 
i.i  its  learned  a  man  was  merely  wanted  as  a 
day  laborer,  they  faded  out  of  the  scene  and 
left  Monte  master  of  all  he  surveyed. 

Monte  took  the  .Si. 50 a  clay  job,  elated  at  his 
luek.  Playing  second  lead  to  a  spade  spelled 
food;  also  the  novelty  of  eating  regularly.  It 
must  have  been  the  spade  that  revived  his  en- 
thusiasm in  "red"  ideals.  At  all  events,  he 
Staged  a  Chautauqua  during  the  noon  hours. 
Mr.  Griffith  passed  by  while  he  was  in  the 
midst  of  such  a  discourse  and  Monte  lost  his 
voice.  A  few  days  later.  I).  W.  called  him  into 
his  office  and  offered  him  a  chance  to  extra 
in  mob  scenes.  Monte  kissed  his  spade  adieu 
and  attached  himself  to  a  make-up  1  ox. 

Excelsior,  he  was  an  actor! 

From  mobbing  he  graduated  into  the  "bit" 
class,  then  the  heavy,  stunt  man,  and  heavy 
again.  At  this  period,  the  famine  struck. 
Monte  couldn't  get  a  job.  Jobs  were  few  and 
relatives  many.  In  disgust,  he  wavered 
whether  to  leave  the  cinema  or  not.  Douglas 
Fairbanks  decided  him  to  stay,  for  Doug  gave 
him  the  heavy  role  in  one  of  his  Artcraft  operas. 
Alter  sundry  downs  and  few  ups,  Monte  landed 
with  Famous  Players  at  S75  a  week  for  five 
years. 

lime  did  a  Haley's  comet  while  Monte's 
salary  remained  stationary,  until — Famous 
loaned  him  to  Mae  Murray  to  hero  for  her  in 
"Peacock's  Alley,''  and  neglected  to  renew  the 
option  on  his  contract.  Overnight,  Monte 
leaped  into  the  four-figured  free  lance  class. 

Though  momentarily  content,  Monte  flut- 
tered around  in  meaningless  leads.  D.  W. 
Griffith  met  him  one  day  on  the  street  and  in- 
vited him  into  his  office.  How  different  his 
motive,  though,  from  those  day  labor  days. 
Mr.  Griffith  talked  the  role  of  Dan  ton  to  him 
for  his  next  picture,  "Orphans  of  the  Storm." 

"Here,  Monte,"  when  they  were  seated,  "are 
twenty-six  books  about  Danton.  Go  away  for 
a  week,  read  them,  and  come  back  and  tell 
me  what  you  think  of  this  character." 

Monte  eloped  with  his  Lilliputian  library  to 
the  Adirondacks,  where  the  spaces  are  big  and 
silent.  He  buried  his  nose  in  pages  of  print, 
reporting  to  D.  W.  at  the  stipulated  time  to 
summarize  simply: 


A  void  pain  by  seeing 

your  dentist  in  time 

Don't  let  negligence  keep  you  away  from 
your  dentist  until  pain  drives  you  CO  him. 
At  least  twice  .1  year  go  to  your  dentist  for 
thorough  mouth  inspection.  He  will  help 
you  avoid  needless  pain  and  trouble  by 
keeping  your  teeth  and  gums  healthy. 


Pyorrhea  seizes  4  out  of  5 


Remember  that  four  out  of  five  who  pass  the  age  of 
forty,  and  thousands  even  younger,  contract  pyorrhea 
through  carelessness.    These  are  dental  statistics. 

But  you  can  be  the  lucky  one  out  of  five  if  you  will 
exercise  ordinary  precaution.  Let  your  dentist  inspect 
your  mouth  at  least  twice  a  year  and  brush  teeth  and 
gums  twice  a  day  with  Forhan's. 

Pyorrhea  steals  upon  you  like  a  thief  in  the  night. 
First  come  tender  bleeding  gums.  Then  gums  recede  and 
teeth  loosen  in  their  sockets.  Poison  seeps  through  the 
system,of  ten  bringing  on  neuritis,  rheumatism  or  worse. 

If  you  already  have  pyorrhea  see  your  dentist  for 
treatment  and  start  using  Forhan's.  If  you  still  are  free 
from  this  scourge,  brush  your  teeth  and  gums  regu- 
larly with  Forhan's  as  a  wise  precaution. 

If  used  regularly  and  in  time  Forhan's  checks  or  pre- 
vents pyorrhea.  It  contains  Forhan's  Pyorrhea  Liquid 
which  dentists  use  in  their  treatment  of  this  infection. 

Forhan's  firms  the  gums  and  keeps  them  pink  and 
healthy.  This  pleasant  tasting  dentifrice  cleans  teeth 
thoroughly  and  wards  off  decay.  Start  using  Forhan's 
at  once.    At  all  druggists',  35c  and  60c  in  tubes.

".Mr.  Griffith,  Danlon  is  the  Abraham 
Lincoln  of  France." 

He-  (,'ot  the  job.  To  our  way  of  thinking,  it 
v.  a-  the  first  and  last  role  he  has  ever  had. 

"I  worked  in  that  picture,"  reminisced 
Monte,  lips  puckering.  "When  I  wasn't 
Danlon  before  the  camera,  I  jumped  into  a 
Freni  h  soldier's  uniform  and  mingled  with  the 
extras,  helping  to  direct  them  as  Air.  Griffith 
instructed.  It  was  a  wonderful  picture  made 
by  a  wonderful  man.  'When  it  was  over — and  I 
never  will  forget  this  if  I  live  to  be  a  hundred," 
his  eyes  swam  in  tears  and  so  did  ours  as  we 
listened,  "Air.  Griffith  called  everybody  on  the 
set  and  led  them  in  three  cheers  for  Monte  Blue 
and  his  part  in  assisting  in  the  picture. 

"I  couldn't  say  a  word,"  he  choked.  "It 
was  too  marvelous.  I  just  slipped  behind  a  set 
and  cried  like  a  baby." 

^"e  both  sat  in  silence,  unconscious  of  the 
din  around  us,  the  clash  of  knives  and  forks, 
the  rattle  of  dishes,  the  clatter  of  tongues,  the 
odor  of  food.  When  Air.  Griffith  salutes  a 
compatriot,  it  is  like  being  present  at  the 
sounding  of  taps  over  a  soul-stirring  climax. 
Words  bow  to  sincere  emotion. 

"Any  dessert?"  queried  the  waiter,  casting  a 
gloomy  eye  at  our  packages. 

"Eh — wot?  Oh,  do  you  care  for  anything? 
No?    Nothing." 

"Bet  you'll  be  glad  to  hit  back  to  the 
Coast? "  we  murmured,  reaching  for  a  ciga- 
rette. 

"Will  I!  I  wish  the  trip  was  over.  I  have 
the  most  frightful  time  on  a  train,"  he  de- 
plored. "I'm  so  long.  The  only  way  I  can 
have  a  semblance  of  comfort  is  to  engage  a 
drawing-room,  have  the  mattresses  piled  on  the 
floor,  and  stretch  out." 


\\7"F  shrieked  at  this  picture,  which  caused 
W  Monte  to  grin  and  recall  his  first  inter- 
view : 

"It  happened  in  New  York.  I  didn't  know 
what  interviews  were  all  about,  much  less  teas, 
and  I  was  taken  from  the  train  to  the  Biltmore 
to  keep  such  an  engagement.  Gee.  my  hands 
were  horny  from  work  and  I  felt  all  over  the 
place.  I  thought  everything  was  progressing 
all  right,  though,  until  I  got  nervous  again  and 
managed  to  clamp  my  finger  in  the  handle  of 
the  cup.  Couldn't  get  it  out  for  love  or  money 
and  I  didn't  want  to  draw  my  predicament  to 
everyone's  attention.  Finally,  I  sneaked  the 
cup  under  the  table  and  broke  the  handle  off, 
but  I  didn't  get  it  off  my  finger  until  I  left  the 
interviewer.    Whew,  was  it  awful!" 

There's  Monte  Blue,  for  you.  He  sails  under 
his  own  colors.  He  never  tones  them  up  or 
down.  It  isn't  necessary  for,  in  the  words  of 
the  modern  Shakespeare — everybody  take  a 
bow — this  Big  Boy  Blue  of  the  Cinema  is  a 
real  feller.

weighing  out  the  sweets.  Then  one  day 
another  attempt  to  get  into  pictures.  In 
"Ponjola"  she  worked  as  an  extra  with 
streaked   make-up   and   sadly   darkened   eyes. 

It  was  then  she  met  Paul,  the  cameraman, 
who  deplored  her  make-up  and  taught  her 
not  to  hide  the  smooth  lusciousness  of  her 
skin.  And  then  came  the  long  line  of  "dis- 
coverers" with  Olive  going  from  comedy 
leads  to  Paul  Bern's  "The  Dressmaker  from 
Paris"  and  from  Blackton's  "The  Happy 
Warrior"  to  Renaud  Hoffman's  "The  Over-

eyed  beauty  for  his  leading  lady  in  "The 
Yankee  Senor."    Olive  was  chosen.

"How  about  signing  Olive  Borden  to  a 
contract?  She  was  darned  clever  in  Jack 
Ford's  picture. " 

Olive,  being  a  true  southern  belle,  Qirted  .1 
bit  with  the  proffered  contract,  played  an 
other  picture  "My  Own  Pal"  with  rom 
Mix  and  the  figures  on  the  contract  waxed 
fatter 

I'hen    came    the     da\     when     the     n 
of  Olive   Borden  was  added  to  the  rost«r  of 
featured  players  and  Olive  was  informed  that 
she  was  being  "groomed  for  stardom." 

NOW  a  cosy  home  in  a  dignified  Hollywood 
street  with  Mainly  in  the  kitchen  serving 
food  southern  style;  .1  softly-rolling  auto 
mobile;  dainty  satin  mules;  perfumes  that 
caress;  a  painting  of  Olive  in  Spanish  costume; 
worship  by  the  studio  helpers;  worship  by 
the  "grips,"  "props.''  and  electricians;  wor 
ship  by  handsome  George  O'Brien,  l>ut 
Olive  little  fluttering  hands  living  high  in 
denial  drowning  all  romantic  murmurings 
with  finality. 

And  mother,  basking  in  daughter's  success, 
echoing  Olive  that  George  is  "just  a  dear 
good  friend."  And  then,  quite  inadvertently, 
ig  of  the  ham  and  eggs  she  "fried  up" 
last  night  for  George  and  his  brother  Dan 
when  t hoy  dropped  in  to  call 

at's  the  story  of  Olive  Borden  who,  in 
the  opinion  of  many  who  know,  has  one  of 
the  brightest  futures  of  the  debutantes  who 
are  making  their  bows  to  the  film  world 

But  to  me  she'll  always  be  "chicken — 
southern  style"  .  .  .  and  deliciously  done, 
at  that!

hopes  of  far  too  many  youths  who  ache  to 
come  to  Hollywood — and  when  they  do  come 
are  usually  routed  by  heart  aches  and  hunger. 

There  were  no  long  and  dismal  waits  for 
Raymond.  N'o  planning  and  scrimping  to 
make  $7.50  stretch  over  a  week  and  get  a  new- 
suit,  too.  Xo  evasions  of  the  eagle-eyed  land- 
lady who  was  suspicious  of  the  bumpy  bundles 
carried  beneath  his  coat  .  .  .  bread,  a  bit  of

Film  success' 

No  crucifying  pain  as  daily  he  wondered  why 
he  was  not  chosen  to  play  a  part — a  bit — 
anything!    The  scorching  pain  of  self-analysis! 

Raymond  had  none  of  these  heartaches. 
Raymond  had  an  instant  success.  But  his 
biggest  battle  comes  now.  He  must  learn  to 
be  humble  and  learn  the  curriculum  of  acting. 
And  in  being  humble,  he  must  not  be  too 
meek — he  must  not  overdo  it — which  is  very 
hard  for  youths  to  do  .  .  .  for  a  youth  of 
nineteen  who  is  "very  experienced" — by  his 
own  admission. 

However.  Raymond  has  pluck  and  a  certain 
amount  of  humor.  He  must  have,  for  he 
confessed  that  in  his  first  pretty  love  scene 
with  Laura  La  Plante  he  had  three  nasty 
boils  on  his  neck!  And  high-standing  Russian 
collars  are  most  exasperating. 

His  first  love  scene  with  boils!  And  no  one 
would  ever  guess  it. 

You  see,  he  can  do  a  thing  when  he  wants  to!

U 


hen  a  woman  says 

Come  HitherP 

without  words 


There  arc  so  many  ways  of  saying  it.  One  says 
it  with  her  smile.  Another  beckons  with  her 
eyes.    A  third  appeals  with  her  helplessness. 

But  the  magnet  is  not  entirely  smile  or  eyes 
or  helplessness.  There  is  another  appeal,  which 
lacking,  makes  powerless  all  other  charms. 

No  woman  can  hope  to  attract  more  than  a 
passing  glance  who  does  not  have  it.  For,  since 
time  began,  it  has  been  a  feminine  attribute. 
She  must  have  it. 

This  personal  quality  is  something  which  is 
not  always  understood.  A  woman's  daintiness 
of  person  entails  a  great  deal  more  than  mere 
cleanliness. 

You  can  be  as  clean  as  soap  and  water  can 
make  you — and  still  fall  short.  For  soap  and 
water  cannot  control  one  thing  which  every 
woman  must  watch. 

It  is  not  a  pretty  word — perspiration — but  it 
is  one  which  must  be  recognized.  For  everyone 
is  its  victim  in  some  form. 

It  is  distressing,  of  course,  to  see  those 
plainly  afflicted — with  those  ugly  dark  rings 
and  streaks  of  stain  under  the  arms  and  across 
that  bothersome  "perspiring  area"  in  the  back. 

But  there  is  something  even 
more  distressing — that  odor 
which  unfailingly  creeps  in 
whether  there  is  moisture  or 
not.  And  always  the  offender 
is  the  last  to  find  it  out! 

Today  this  is  a  thing  that 
careful  women  look  to,  as  they 
do  to  their  hair  and  teeth  and 


fingernails.     They  know  they  must  make  of 
it  a  special  little  rite  of  the  toilette. 

No  ordinary  methods  will  do;  no  temporary 
"home-made"  measures.  They  must  have  a  de- 
pendable, scientific  corrective.  And  they  have 
found  it,  millions  of  them,  in  Odorono,  the 
Underarm  Toilette. 

Odorono  is  an  antiseptic  liquid  formulated 
by  a  physician  to  correct  both  the  evils  of  per- 
spiration. It  is  the  original  corrective  for  both 
moisture  and  odor.  Physicians  and  nurses  use 
it  constantly  in  hospitals  as  the  one  scientific, 
dependable  corrective.  Here  is  what  one  med- 
ical authority  says  of  it: 

Dr.  Lewis  B.  Allyn,  head  of  the  famous 
Westfield  Laboratories,  Wcstlicld,  Mass.,  says, 
"Experimental  and  practical  tests  show  that 
Odorono  is  harmless,  economical  and  effective 
when  employed  as  directed  and  will  injure 
neither  the  skin  nor  the  health." 

One  application  of  Odorono  assurts  3  days' 
freedom  from  all  annoyance.  And  you  don'c 
need  to  bother  with  any  other  protection  for 
your  clothing! 

Keep  safe  this  great  appeal  of  personal  dain- 
tiness! Don't  run  the  risk  of 
offending  with  odor;  with 
those  ugly  stains  which  dry 
cleaning  cannot  blot  out! 
For  complete,  constant  as- 
surance that  you  arc  safe — use 
Odorono  twice  a  week!  35c,

There  is  a  tremendous  difference 
in  bobs.  Some  are  wonderfully 
attractive  and  becoming,  while 
others,  well — which  kind  is  yours? 

I  wish  you  could  picture  the 
becoming  kind  I  have  in  mind  — 
the  sort  that  makes  men  turn  to 
admire.  I  can't  tell  you  what  the 
color  is,  but  it's  full  of  those  tiny 
dancing  lights  that  somehow  sug- 
gest auburn,  yet  which  is  really  no 
more  actual  color  than  sunlight. 
It's  only  when  the  head  is  moved 
that  you  catch  the  auburn  sugges- 
tion —  the  fleeting   glint  of  gold. 

You  have  no  idea  how  much  your 
bob  can  be  improved  with  the  "tiny  tint" 
Golden  Glint  Shampoo  will  give  it.  If 
you  want  a  bob  like  that  I  have  in  mind, 
buy  a  package  and  see  for  yourself.  At  all

[  CONTINUED  FROM  PACE  51] 


THE  FAR  CRY— First  National 

"DASED  on  an  interesting  play  by  Arthur 
-'-'Richman.  directed  by  a  new  director, 
Syivano  Balboni.  and  enacted  by  Blanche 
Sweet,  Jack  Mulhall.  Myrtle  Stedman  and 
Hobart  Bosworth,  this  might  have  been  one  of 
the  finest  pictures  of  the  month.  Instead  its 
characters  and  situations  are  not  deftly  drawn. 
The  action  is  sometimes  stilted,  but  it  has  some 
very  artistic  high  points,  and  shows  promise 
that  Balboni  will  develop  into  a  splendid 
director. 

WHISPERING  SMITH— Producers  Dis- 
tributing Corp. 

V\  TELL  worth  seeing.  This  is  genuinely 
W  amusing  from  start  to  finish — with  plenty 
of  sustained  suspense.  As  a  background  it  has 
a  very  strong  story,  which  Director  George 
Melford  has  logically  developed.  And  it  has  an 
excellent  cast — H.  B.  Warner.  John  Bowers, 
Lillian  Rich  and  Lilyan  Tashman.  All  about  a 
railroad  detective.  Whispering  Smith,  who  is 
called  to  settle  a  disturbance.  0.  K.  for  the 
children,  too.

T_TERE  we  have,  ladies  and  gentlemen.  Glenn 
*■  -"-Hunter,  of  "Merton  of  the  Movies"  fame, 
in  a  fairly  interesting  vehicle — a  country  boy 
goes  to  the  city  and  makes  good  on  the  stage. 
When  Dad's  bank  is  in  need  of  money,  with  the 
aid  of  his  press  agent,  the  son  manages  to  put 
over  a  good  stunt  and  even-body's  happy. 
Glenn,  as  usual,  gives  a  delightful  performance, 
and  pretty  little  Mildred  Ryan  is  the  lady  in 
the  case. 

THE  KING  OF  THE  TURF—F.  B.  0. 

A  DASH  of  racing  stuff,  some  crooks  thrown 
■*Mn,  love  sequences  and  comedy,  and  presto! 
a  picture  that  is  pleasing  and  entertaining.  Of 
course  you've  seen  this  before,  but  there  is  so 
much  suspense  and  action  you  can't  help  but 
enjoy  it.  Patsy  Ruth  Miller  and  Kenneth 
Harlan  head  the  cast. 

TESSIE— Arrow 

npHE  wise  cracking  sub-titles  manage  to  build 
*■  enough  humor  to  save  this  from  the  im- 
possible class.  A  rather  exceptional  cast  for 
this  type  of  picture,  too — May  McAvoy, 
Myrtle  Stedman.  Bobby  Agnew.  Lee  Moran 
and  Gertrude  Short.  May  McAvoy  is  fright- 
fully miscast.  Picture,  if  you  can.  dainty  May 
as  a  gum-chewing  candy  clerk.  However, 
there  are  lots  of  laughs  for  grown-ups  and 
children  if  you  don't  take  it  too  seriously. 

MY  OWN  PAL— Fox 

MEET  Mr.  Tom  Mix.  first  as  a  cowpuncher 
and  later  as  a  policeman  who  traps  the 
most  notorious  bandits  and  wins  the  police 
commissioner's  daughter.  This  is  a  delightful 
opus  due  to  the  presence  of  cute  little  Virginia 
Mar-hall,  who  is  one  of  the  most  intelligent 
children  on  the  screen  today.  And  then  there 
is  a  darling  little  white  dog  that  is  very  clever, 
and  he  isn't  even  credited  in  the  cast.  The 
children  will  love  this  one. 

THE  BORDER  SHERIFF— Universal 

AXD  still  the  Westerns  come.  But  what  are 
we  going  to  do  about  it?  Nothing.  Jack 
Hoxie  is  a  deputy  sheriff  and  incidentally  con-

THE  LITTLE  IRISH  GIRL- 
Bros. 


-Warner 


GOOD  entertainment.  Sounds  like  a  sjood 
homey  story,  hut  don't  he  fooled.  It's  all 
about  crooks.  A  gang  of  seemingly  clever 
crooks  plan  "to  do"  an  old  lady,  but  she  out- 
wits them  and  "does  them"  in  a  very  thrilling 
manner.  And  then  we  learn  that  she  had  been 
a  crook  in  the  days  gone  by  and  reformed.  The 
old  lady  crook  is  none  other  than  Gertrude 
Claire,  who  was  so  delightful  in  "The  Wedding 
Song."  Dolores  Costello,  Johnny  Harron, 
Matthew  Betz  and  Lee  Moran  complete  the 
cast 

THE  ESCAPE— Universal 

HERE  is  a  picture  that  is  filled  with  plenty 
of  pep  and  humor  that  the  children  will  be 
crazy  about.  Pete  Morrison  and  his  horse 
prove  that  they  can  catch  the  villain  any  time 
regardless  of  circumstances.  An  easy  and 
amusing  way  to  spend  an  hour. 

BROKEN  HEARTS—  Jaffe 

BROKEN*  HEARTS"  is  a  series  of  realistic 
east  side  scenes,  strung  together  by  a 
slender  plot.  Russian  realism  predominates 
throughout  with  its  usual  tearful  ending.  Lila 
I.ee,  the  only  familiar  player  in  the  cast,  plays 
the  role  of  a  Jewish  cantor's  daughter  with  a 
wistful  loveliness.  Against  her  father's  wishes 
she  married  a  Russian  refugee,  but  they  are 
soon  parted  by  news  that  his  former  wife  is  still 
alive.    Think  you'll  like  it?

T\  7E  heard  a  new  press  agent  story  the 
W  other  week.  One  of  the  musical  critics 
was  invited  by  the  agent  of  one  of  the  big 
hotels  to  come  and  hear  its  new  orchestra. 
When  he  had  sat  down  and  ordered  tea.  the 
publicity  representative  came  to  talk  to  him. 

"It's  really  one  of  the  finest  orchestras  in 
Xew  York."  said  the  agent. 

As  he  spoke,  several  bad  notes  were  hit — 
so  bad  that  the  critic  winced. 

"Of  course  they'll  do  better."  said  the  agent 
hastily,  "as  soon  as  they've  played  together  a 
bit." — New  Yorker.

THIS   offers   a    test   that    will

Modern  beauty  science  has  found  a 
new  way  to  remove  cold  cream  ...  a 
different  way  from  any  you  have  ever 
known. 

It  will  prove  that  no  matter  how  long 
you  have  used  cold  cream,  you  have 
never  removed  it,  and  its  accumulation 
of  dirt,  entirely  from  your  skin  .  .  .  have 
never  removed  it  in  gentle  safety  to 
your  skin. 

This  new  way  is  called  Kleenex. 
Dainty  and  exquisite,  you  use  it,  then 
discard  it.  Just  use  the  coupon.  A  7-day 
supply  will  be  sent  you  to  try. 

A  scientific  discovery 

We  are  makers  of  absorbents.  Are 
world  authorities  in  this  field. 

On  the  urge  of  a  noted  dermatologist, 
we  perfected  this  scientifically  right 
material  for  removing  cold  cream. 

It  is  the  only  product  made  solely  for 
this  purpose.  It  represents  some  two 
years  of  scientific  research.  There  is 
no  other  like  it. 

Banishes  oily  skins — dark  skins 

It  stops  oily  nose  and  skin  conditions 
amazingly.  For  these  come  from  over- 
laden pores  .  .  .  cold  creams  and  oils 
left  for  nature  to  expel.  That  is  why 
you  powder  now  so  often. 

It  combats  skin  eruptions.  For  they're 
invited  by  germ  accumulations  left  in 
the  skin. 

Old  methods,  towels,  cloths  and  fibre 
substitutes,   failed  in  absorbency.    And 


thus  often  rubbed  infectious  dirt  ac- 
cumulations back  into  your  skin.  That 
is  why  tiny  imperfections  often  come. 
Why  your  skin  may  look  so  dark  at 
times. 

Multiplied  skin  benefits 

Now  in  Kleenex  those  failures  are  cor- 
rected. Soft  as  down  and  white  as 
snow,  it  contrasts  the  harshness  of 
cloth  or  fibre  makeshifts  with  a  soft- 
ness that  you'll  love. 

It  comes  in  exquisite  sheets,  27  times 
as  absorbent  as  the  ordinary  towel.  24 
times  that  of  paper  and  fibre  substi- 
tutes.   You  use  it,  then  discard  it. 

Kleenex  comes  in  two  sizes  .  .  .  the 
Professional  (sheets  9  by  10  inches)  and 
the  Boudoir  size  (sheets  6  by  7  inches) 
in  exquisite  flat  handkerchief  boxes  to 
fit  your  dressing  table  drawer. 

It  does  what  no  other  method  yet  has 
done  .  .  .  removes  all  the  cleansing 
cream,  all  dirt  and  pore  accumulations 
gently  from  the  skin.  And  that  means 
much  to  you. 

Just  present  the  coupon 

Kleenex  will  prove  the  inadequacy  of 
towels  and  cloths.  Will  make  a  quick 
and  noted  difference  in  your  skin.  Clip

akin  to  "A  Woman  of  Paris."  yet  more  whole- 
some in  subject  matter.  And  Eddie  Suther- 
land will  get  his  chance  to  make  his  mark  in 
this  scarcely  touched  field.  Opportunity  is  no 
stranger  to  him  and  has  always  been  treated 
hospitably. 

lie's  interesting,  this  Eddie  youth.  He 
shrinks  from  crowds  and  revels  in  the  unusual. 
He  has  a  chum  who  is  deaf  and  dumb.  Eddie 
learned  the  deaf  and  dumb  language  so  he 
could  enjoy  this  man's  companionship. 

TLJE  hunted  all  over  Xew  York  one  day  to 
■*■  -Hind  a  trape/.e  to  send  a  man  who  had  broken 
his  leg.  He  didn't  know  this  man  very  well. 
But  he  sent  him  the  trapeze  because  with  its 
aid  he  could  ease  the  position  of  his  cramped 
body.  Eddie  knew.  He  had  broken  his  knee- 
cap playing  football  and  had  been  in  a  similar 
ostermoor  predicament. 

He  is  very  friendly  with  a  famous  authority 
on  Japanese  art.  This  man  is  half  Japanese, 
half  German.  He  is  6  feet  3  and  suffers  from 
the  dread  lung  trouble.  He  stoops  over  so  he 
looks  only  5  feet  n.  He  has  the  gorgeous  long, 
slim  fingers  of  the  artist;  the  sunken  features  of 
the  Japanese.  And  he's  a  kleptomaniac. 
Eddie  says  he  is  an  intriguing  personality. 

Life.  Eddie  Sutherland  is  fascinated  by  its 
lopsided  phases.  He  reads  biographies  and 
autobiographies  avidly.  They  concern  real 
personalities. 

This  side  of  the  youthful  director  slips  behind 
an  infectious  boisterousness  when  he's  out  to 
enjoy  himself.  He's  the  life  of  even'  party  he 
goes  on.  He  has  humorous  slants  on  things. 
He  races  himself  to  a  laugh. 

Then  there's  the  other  Eddie,  the  director. 
Several  vears  ago,  he  took  stock  of  himself. 


Girls  will  be  boys,  or  very  nearly, 
this  spring.  Modish  Margaret 
Morris  illustrates  the  vogue.  Mar- 
garet's new  suit  has  a  coat  cut 
like  a  tuxedo-jacket,  and  her  man- 
nish blouse  tied  with  a  masculine 
bow  tie.  Even  her  suspenders — 
shades  of  Rudy — are   man-copied 


Beauty  is  more  beautiful  when 
it  is  crowned  with  a  glowing 
loveliness  of  hair  that  is  radi- 
antly lustrous.  The  hairdresser's 
secret  of  lustrous  hair  is  a  touch

knew  well,  and  told  him  he'd  like  to  starl  in  the

iiini  a  job  at  $75  a  week     Eddie  took  it,  and 

for  three  years  worked  like  the  W  k  I  loian  of 
mythical  renown,  lie  learned  a  neat  ileal,  for 
Chaplin,  to  him,  is  a  genius. 

"Though  I  don't  know  what  a  genius  is," 
musingly. 

"Just  a  era  y  person  who  hits  it  right,"  we 
vouchsafed,  and  Eddie  nodded. 

HE  left  Charlie  Chaplin  after  three  years  to 
strikeout  for  himself.  Tom  Meighan  is  his 
uncle.  He  gave  Eddie  the  job  of  directing  him 
in  "Comin1  Through."  Mr  Sutherland  has 
never  traded  ^n  his  relatives  He  didn't  in  this 
instance.  Tom  offered  him  the  megaphone. 
He  accepted  it.     The  picture  made  money,  so 

Jesse  l.askv  handed  young  Sutherland  a  con- 
tract ami  assigned  him  "Wild.  Wild  Susan," 
with  Hebe  Daniebs,  to  direct.  After  all.  Eddie 
had  been  with  Charlie  Chaplin  and  should 
know  comedy  values. 

He  diil  He  has  been  showing  how  he  knows 
them  ever  since  though,  indeed,  'tis  fearfully 
hard  work. 

A  comedy,  to  he  amusing,  should  have  a 
sliee  of  life  for  its  backdrop;  something  that 
thumps  with  realism  and  concerns  the  majority 
of  us. 

Eddie's  last  picture  was  "  Behind  The  Front" 
in  which  he  took  the  War,  with  its  agony  and 
ten-ion.  as  the  story's  foundation  upon  which 
to  build  merry  situations.  This  flicker  has 
broken  house  records  in  practically  every 
theater  it  has  played.    It  was  Eddie's  picture. 

We  enjoy  chuckling  at  something  that  is 
foreboding  when  stripped  of  its  gay  apparel. 
Hysteria  and  merriment  are  as  closely  related 
as  hate  and  love. 

And  there  you  have  as  good  a  picture  of 
Edward  Sutherland  as  we  can  conceive.  When 
his  friends  see  him.  he  is  frivolous  and  gay,  but 
deep  inside  rage  conflicting  thoughts  and  emo- 
tions; <"onflicting  fears  and  hopes.  Once  upon  a 
time,  he  must  have  been  terribly  wounded  by 
one  he  worshipped.  With  most  of  us,  wounds 
heal  and  only  scars  remain.  Eddie  Suther- 
land's never  did. 

Some  day,  Edward  Sutherland  is  going  to 
knot  these  rampant,  warring  selves  of  his  and 
then  he  will  step  forth  as  one  of  the  screen's  I  ig 
directors.  If  he  doesn't,  we  miss  our  hunch,

and,  in  fact  we  reserve  the  right  to  ^hift  our 
mental  base  some  twelve  months  hence,  but 
in  the  meanwhile  it  is  perhaps  more  prudent 
to  hitch  'our  wagon  to  ,the  potential  star  of 
Rogers. 

After  all,  if  but  one  of  these  handsome, 
eager  graduates  wins  out  to  astral  fame.  Dean 
Lasky,  Director  Sam  Wood  and  the  faculty  of 
the  Paramount  School  of  Acting  will  count 
their  labors  eminently  repaid.  Whatever  its 
limitations,  the  School  represents  a  generous 
and  serious  gesture  on  the  part  of  Jesse  Lasky 
to  comply  with  the  public's  demand  for  new- 
faces  in  films  and  at  the  same  time  to  give  a 
fraction  of  the  clamoring  imasses  who  "always 
knew  they  could  act"  a  chance  to  prove  their 
premise  and  make  good  in  celluloid.

To  tub  Listener. 

I  agree  with  you.  Constantly  being  the 
"listener"  in  a  social  group  does  get  to  be  a 
bore.  Hut  I  really  believe  that  if  you  hadn't 
done  so  much  listening,  you  wouldn't  now  be 
writing  as  interesting  a  letter  as  yours  is. 
Listeners  get  a  lot  of  time  in  which  to  think. 
The  books  that  set  down  rules  for  writing  are 
rarely  of  much  use.  I  think  it  better  for  you 
to  read  the  works  of  excellent  writers  with 
good  minds  and  attempt  to  study  their  tech- 
nique. Read  II.  G.  Wells,  John  Galsworthy, 
G.  S.  Shaw,  Sinclair  Lewis,  Willa  Gather. 
Read  their  books  first  for  the  story  and  the 
second  and  third  time  to  see  how  they  create 
their  effects. 

K.  K.  F. 

You  should  weigh  approximately  130 
pounds.  The  colors  that  I  have  advised  for 
Jean  Lee,  above,  are  your  colors,  too.  Here 
is  one  of  the  best  hip  reducing  exercises.  First, 
stand  straight,  head  up.  chest  high,  shoulders 
back,  abdomen  flat,  feet  together  and  hands 
on  hips.  With  your  right  leg  supporting  the 
weight  of  the  body,  swing  the  left  leg  forward 
and  backward  like  the  pendulum  of  a  clock, 
going  as  far  forward  and  as  far  backward  as 
possible,  holding  the  left  leg  lightly  so  that 
it  can  swing  easily.  Do  this  about  a  dozen 
times  and  repeat  with  other  leg.  weight  on 
the  left  leg,  swinging  the  right.  If  you  would 
like  more  detailed  exercises, send  me  a  stamped, 
self-addressed  envelope  and  I  will  be  glad  to 
mail  them  to  you. 

Pat. 

The  best  colors  for  you  with  your  titian 
hair,  fair  skin  and  blue  eyes  are  black,  in 
velvet,  heavy  satin  or  transparent  goods; 
cream  and  ivory  whites;  deep,  dark  browns; 
reddish  browns  and  pale  tans  not  so  good; 
midnight  and  darkest  navies;  pale  green  in 
evening  and  summer  dresses,  but  dark  green 
or  Irish  green  too  contrasting;  taupe  with  a 
pinkish  cast;  purple,  too  vivid  a  contrast;  no 
reds;  amber  tones  and  pale  yellows;  flesh  pink 
or  palest  blue.  A  light,  raphe!  powder  should 
be  most  becoming  to  you  and  if  you  are  fair 
enough  you  might  experiment  with  pure  white 
powder.  If  you  can  wear  it,  it  should  be  very 
effective.  The  use  of  a  light  makeup  on  the 
eyelashes  is  perfectly  good  form.  You  are 
slightly  under-weight  but  with  thinness  at 
such  a  premium,  I  do  not  want  to  advise  you 
to  put  on  weight  unless  your  thinness  is  due 
to  bad  health.  If  it  is  a  natural  condition 
with  you  I  would  not  worry  about  it  but 
call  myself  lucky.  Write  as  often  as  you  like. 
I'm  always  glad  to  hear  from  my  correspond- 
ents at  anj-  time. 

Cecilia. 

That  is  an  excellent  idea  concerning  the 
letters  I  have  received  in  reply  to  the  article 
on  petting,  but  if  I  were  to  publish  all  of 
them  1  here  wouldn't  be  room  for  anything 
else  in  PHOTOPLAY.  I  do  not  know  that  a 
good  night  kiss  is  any  different  from  any  other 
kiss  so  you  will  have  to  use  the  same  judgment 
about  that  that  you  do  about  pelting.  Kxer- 
cise  will  fill  out  your  arms  more  than  anything 
else.  Raise  the  arms  sharply  upward,  as  high 
above  your  head  as  possible,  stretching  the 
ringers  to  their  fullest  lengths.  Then  return 
them  to  first  position  at  shoulder  height  with 
doubled  fist  turned  in.  Repeat  this  move- 
ment ten  to  fifteen  times  and  do  it  with  snap 
and  pep.  1  bill'  hearted  exercise  does  very 
little  good.  Next,  with  hands,  fist  doubled 
in,  al  shoulder  height,  shoot  them  outward 
in  a  straight  line  from  shoulders,  lingers 
si  retched.  Repeat  this  ten  to  fifteen  times. 
Tin-  second  exercise  starts  with  a  good  stand- 
ing  position.      Hend   your   arms   quickly   and 


raise  until  your  elbows  are  in  line  with  your 
shoulders,  the  palms  of  your  hands  turned 
downward  on  the  chest.  From  this  position, 
fling  the  arms  outward  as  far  as  possible, 
then  back  to  first  position,  then  outward, 
then  back,  as  sharply  as  a  soldier's  drill. 
Do  this  about  a  dozen  times. 

Helen-  Belle. 

Dark  brown  hair  and  eyes  and  olive  skin 
are  best  suited  with  ivory  and  cream  white; 
no  black;  mahogany  and  Negro  browns;  dark- 
est blues;  dark  green;  gray  not  good;  purple 
not  good;  dark,  warm  reds;  terra  cotta  and 
but!  and  apricot;  pink  in  warm  and  pale 
colors.  Dark,  warm  reds  and  pale  pinks  are 
best  for  evening. 

Worried  Child. 

If  you  will  send  me  a  stamped,  self-addressed 
envelope,  I  will  be  glad  to  advise  you  regard- 
ing your  problem. 

Irene  Seymour. 

Please  send  me  a  stamped,  self -addressed 
envelope  and  I  will  be  glad  to  advise  you 
regarding  the  treatment  for  acne. 

Sally. 

With  light  brown  hair  and  green  eyes  your 
best  colors  are  white  relieved  with  some  other 
color;  golden  brown;  blue;  bright  blues  to  be 
avoided;  darkest  purple;  no  reds;  pale  pink 
and  soft  rose;  bronze.  It  shouldn't  take  you 
long  to  learn  to  play  the  uke  and  my  advice- 
would  be  to  buy  as  good  a  one  as  possil  le  and 
in  the  beginning  take  one  or  two  initial  lessons 
at  your  local  music  store  and  then  to  practice 
it  by  yourself.  Within  two  or  three  months 
you  should  be  fairly  proficient. 


Mickey. 

Why  on  earth  do  you  want  to  make  your 
hair  straight?  Every  girl  I  know  is  spending 
half  her  income  in  going  to  beauty  parlors  for 
waves  and  here  you  are  Messed  with  natural 
waves  and  you  are  worrying  about  them.  I 
think  dancing  is  a  lovely  thing.  You're  pretty 
young,  however,  and  if  your  mother  disap- 
proves I  think  it  would  be  best  for  you  to 
obey  her  until  you  arc  old  enough  to  be  com- 
pletely independent.  I  certainly  wouldn't 
advise  a  girl  as  young  as  you  to  smoke.  I 
have  no  feeling  about  its  being  either  right  or 
wrong  but  there  is  the  matter  of  it  being 
healthy  or  unhealthy  and  it  certainly  is  un- 
healthy for  a  little  girl  like  you.  Your  weight 
is  just  right.  You  can  reduce  your  legs  by 
climbing  stairs,  by  running,  by  high  jumping 
and  by  your  dancing.

and  backward  like  the  pendulum  of  a  clock, 
going  as  far  forward  and  as  far  '  ackward  as 
possible,  holding  the  left  leg  lightly  so  that  it 
tan  swing  easily.  Do  this  about  a  dozen 
times  and  repeat  with  other  leg.  weight  on 
the  left  leg.  swinging  the  right.  Sou  can  wear 
cream  and  ivory  whites:  deep,  dark  browns; 
reddish  browns  and  pale  tans  not  so  good;

evening  and  summer  dress,  taupe  vvith  a 
pinkish  cast:  no  red-:  am' er  tones  and  pale 
yellows:  flesh  pink  or  palest  blue.  The  way 
you  wear  your  hair,  parted  on  the  side,  should 
be  very  becoming  lo  your  full  face.  I  cannot 
advise  you  on  the  bangs  without  knowing 
more  definitely  how  you  look.    They  are  not

,s  of  myself   that    1   am   wondering   what 

they  think  of  me  and  that  they  notice  every 

little  action  or  word  spoken."     That  kind  of 

sell  interest,  Brown  Kyes,  always  makes  self- 

iousness  because  the  word  expresses  it's 

meaning      When   you   stop  being   con- 

of   yourself   and    fasten   your  attention 

on  the  other  person;  when  you  1  cgin  to  think 

in  terms  of   them    rather   than   yourself,   you

will  !>oth  have  vanished      Turn  the  spot  light 

out  instead  of  in  and  you  will  be  mu<  h  happier. 

If  you  will  read  the  answer  to  M     A  .  above, 

you  will  find  a  good  hip  reducing  exercise. 

Pi  ZZ1.ED. 

You  are  young  to  go  out  with  a  sixteen 
vear  old  l>oy,  but  since  your  mother  approves 
of  him  1  feel  sure  it  is  quite  safe.  Why  don't 
■  rite  him  a  note  or  when  you  meet  him 
tell  him  your  mother's  changed  viewpoint? 
1  am  sure  that  since  he  once  asked  you  to  go 
to  the  movies  he  will  do  so  again  now  that 
he  knows  you  have  your  mother's  permission. 
Certainly,  it  is  all  right  to  have  him  over  for 
an  evening  as  long  as  you  may  receive  him  at 
home  with  your  parents. 

M    Cholett. 

I  understand  that  the  preparation  which 
you  mentioned  is  very  efficient  and  non- 
injurious. 

Awv  D. 

No,  I  do  not  think  sixteen  is  too  young  for 
you  to  go  to  work  since  you  are  a  high  school 
graduate.  I  cannot  advise  you  on  the  line  of 
work  you  should  take  up  without  knowing 
more  about  you  temperamentally,  and  about 
your  education.  You  can  certainly  go  on 
[earning  while  you  are  working.  I  wouldn't 
try  night  school  for  the  first  year  because  you 
will  have  enough  adjustments  to  make  in  the 
business  world  without  taxing  yourself  any 
more.  Whatever  kind  of  a  job  you  get,  for 
your  own  sake  work  at  it.  Be  honest  with 
yourself  and  try  to  give  your  employer  the 
value  of  every-  dollar  he  is  paving  you.  This 
way  advancement  lies.  Keep  wide  awake  and 
have  your  eyes  open  for  opportunity.  Study 
whatever  line  you  get  in,  and  study  other 
lines  as  much  as  you  can  to  see  if  you  would 
prefer  them.  I  wouldn't  advise  you  to  change 
your  position  too  soon  for  you  are  very  young 
as  yet  to  know  what  your  real  ambition  is. 
Stick  to  your  first  job  at  least  a  couple  of 
years  and  then  you  will  know  better  what 
you  are  after.  You  should  wear  very  simple, 
practical  business  clothes.  I  think  flat  heels  and 
tailored  suits  go  perfectly  in  a  business  office. 
Write  me  again  any  time  y^ou  feel  you  need 
help. 

Coksit.lo. 

I  realize  that  very  frequently  girls  uncon- 
sciously attract  attention  on  the  street,  par- 
ticularly when  they  are  young  and  pretty. 
This  is  a  very  dangerous  form  of  attraction 
and  I  do  advise  you  to  curb  it.  The  only 
thing  for  you  to  do  is  to  go  calmly  along  and 
mind  your  own  business.  There  are  girls 
who  very  definitely  have  a  "come  hither'' 
look  in  their  eye  and  men  seem  to  spot  it  if 
they  are  ten  blocks  away.  It  is  easy  enough, 
however,  to  discourage  these  attentions  if 
you  maintain  an  attitude  of  quiet,  girlish 
dignity.

Simple  'Ways 

to  improve  your  skin 

—NOW! 

£>  FRED  INGRAM  Jr.,  Ph.c. 
B.  Sc.,(Pharm.) 

I.  From  lGtooOyou  need  from  7'  '•  to 
S  hours  sleep— at  least  four  nights  out 
of  seven.  At  30  to  .">i>,  li1  \  t.>  7  hours 
will  <lo  with  a  daily  short  rest  after 
lunch  or  just  before  dinner.  If  you 
would  have  beauty  after  '.\0 — Ret  your 
rest.  No  cream  or  cosmetic  can 
compete  with  loss  of  sleep. 

An  1  you  simply  mini  fit/each  day 
either  lettuce.  Celery,  cabbage,  carrots, 
spinach,  oranges,  white  cherries,  grape- 
fruit, lemons  or  tomatoes  Your  doc- 
tor will  tell  you  just  what  combina- 
tions are  good  for  you  personally. 
Sleep  and  these  foods  are  a  sure 
foundation  for  beauty. 

II.  For  the  arms,  neck,  shoulders  and 
han  Is — at  least  once  a  day,  lukewarm 
water  and  any  good  soap  (Ingram's 
Milkweed  Cream  Soap  is  fine).  Then  u>e 
Ingram's  Milkweed  Cream  on  Kinds, 
arnv>,  neck  and  shoulders.  Rub  it  in 
gently.  Don't  rub  it  off.  Use  only  at 
night  before  retiring — wear  old  gloves 
on  hands.  You  will  be  astonished. 
Your  friends  will  comment  on  the  re- 
markable change  in  the  appearance  of 
your  skin  with  this  simple,  common 
sense  treatment.  Under  no  conditions 
use  any  other  cream  while  you  are 
making  this  test. 

III.  For  the  face,  give  our  cream  two 
weeks'  exclusive  use.  Write  the  date 
on  the  label  so  that  you  may  watch  re- 
sults carefully.  Use  no  other  cream  of 
any  kind.  Wash  your  face  at  night 
with  lukewarm  water  and  Ingram's 
Milkweed  Cream  Soap.  Rub  cream  in 
gently;  don't  rub  it  off.  Use  morning 
and  night,  using  water  only  at  night  to 
cleanse  face.  Blotches,  blemishes, 
blackheads,  redness,  tan,  wind-  and 
sunburn  will  go  if  you  follow  the  diet 
suggested  and  use  Ingram's  Milkweed 
Cream  exclusively. 

Women  today  will  tell  you  this 
simple  treatment  gets  results.  We 
have  thousands  of  letters  over  a  period 
of  10  years  that  back  up  our  state- 
ments. And  today  thousands  are  en- 
joying the  beauty  insurance  which 
this  simple  method  brings. 

IV.  If  you  have  a  good  beauty  shop 
operator,  stay  with  her,  but  insist  that 
she  use  your  own  jar  of  Ingram's 
Milkweed  Cream.  Infections  are  dan- 
gerous. Not  one  woman  in  a  hundred 
has  a  scientific  beauty  operator. 

We  are  always  glad  to  answer  ques- 
tions— to  help  those  who  have  been  un- 
successful in  th«-ir  search  for  skin  love- 
liness. Particularly  those  who  want  to 
protect  their  beauty  over  a  long  period 
of  years. 

If  you  are  in  doubt,  take  no  chances. 
Do  your  own  facials,  arm,  neck,  hand 
and  shoulder  treatments  at  home.  Wc 
will  teach  you  how  in  our  little  book 
that  comes  with  each  j.ir  of  Ingram's 
Milkweed  Cream.

A  Sure  Way  To 

End  Dandruff 

There  is  one  sure  way  that,  never  fails 
to  remove  dandruff  completely,  and 
that  is  to  dissolve  it.  Then  you  destroy 
it  entirely.  To  do  this,  just  apply  a  lit- 
tle Liquid  Arvon  at  night  before  retir- 
ing; use  enough  to  moisten  the  scalp  and 
rub  it  in  gently  with  your  finger  tips. 

By  morning,  most,  if  not  all,  of  your 
dandruff  will  be  gone,  and  two  or  three 

more  applications  will  completely  dissolve  and 
entirely  destroy  every  .-ingle  sign  and  trace  of  it, 
no  matter  how  much  dandruff  you  may  have. 

You  will  find,  too,  that  all  itching  of  the  scalp 
will  stop  instantly  and  your  hair  will  be  lus- 
trous, gl  ossy,  silky 
and  soft,  and  look  and 
feel  a  hundred  times 
better. 

You  can  get  Liquid 
Arvon    at    any   drug 
store, andafour  ounce 
bottle  is  all  you  will 
need.     This  simple 
remedy  has  never 
been  known  to 
fail. 


LIQUID  ARYDN 


Are  you  passing  by 

this  modern 

Loveliness? 

In  these  modern  days  it  is  be- 
coming constantly  clearer  that 
feminine  charm  rests  not  so  much 
on  beauty  of  face  or  figure  as  on 
that  captivating  daintiness  which 
is  the  characteristic  of  lovely 
womanhood. 

That  is  why  the  vogue  of  Bathaswcct  has 
been  growing  so  remarkably  the  la-c  few 
years.  For  Bathaswcct  is  the  means  par 
excellence  for  achieving  daintiness.  A 
sprinkle  of  it  in  your  tub  softens  and 
perfumes  the  water,  giving  it  an  almost 
miraculous  cleansing  power  that  washes 
deep  into  the  pores  and  gives  the  skin  a 
glowing  health  and  satiny  smoothness, 
while  at  the  same  time  it  leaves  about 
you  an  air  of  springtime  freshness  that 
keeps  you  lovely  thru  the  day.  And  it  is 
so  delightful  and  so  inexpensive — 25c, 
50c,  $1 .00  and  $1.50  at  drug  and  depart- 
ment stores.

Aesthetic  dancing  is  good  if  you  do  it  vigor-

and  if  you  drink  milk,  drink  it  in  place  of 
eating  a  meal  but  don't  drink  it  in  addition 
to  a  meal.

If  at  five  feet,  5  inches  you  are  much  taller  I 
than  your  girl  friends  then  your  girl  friends! 
must  be  fairly  short  because  you  are  only  one 
inch  above  the  average  height.  Y'ou  are  not  | 
too  tall  to  wear  high  heels.  Yfou  are  a  little 
over-weight.  You  should  lose  about  eight 
pounds.  If  you  will  send  me  a  stamped,  self- 
addressed  envelope,  I  will  give  you  definite 
instructions  for  doing  away  with  blackheads. 
You  can  wear  white  relieved  with  some  other 
color;  golden  brown;  blue;  light  Hues  to  be 
avoided;  blue  gray;  darkest  purple;  no  reds; 
soft  rose  and  pale  pink;  bronze.  I  do  not 
believe  massaging  will  help  the  condition  of 
your  ankles.  I  think  it  would  be  more 
advisable  for  you  to  consult  a  good  medi- 
cal doctor  concerning  a  treatment.  Witch 
hazel  does  help  enlarged  pores  like  yours.  Use 
it,  for  its  astringent  quality,  after  washing 
your  face  in  warm  water.  Follow  its  use  by 
applications  of  cold  water  or  ice.  Here  is  an 
excellent  tonic  to  promote  the  growth  of  the 
eyelashes  and  eyebrows.  Yellow  vaseline, 
two  ounces;  oil  of  lavender,  15  drops;  and  oil 
of  rosemary,  15  drops.  Mix  thoroughly. 
After  you  wash  your  face  at  night,  brush  your 
eyebrows  with  the  tiny  brush  upon  which  a 
few  drops  of  the  tonic  has  been  placed.  Par- 
ticular pains  must  be  taken  if  you  apply  this 
tonic  to  your  eyelashes,  as  it  will  inflame  the 
eyes,  as  any  oil  will,  if  it  gets  into  them. 

Dorothy  Smith. 

\Yhen  you  wash  your  hair  too  often  it  is 
sure  to  become  oily.  After  every  shampoo, 
you  wash  a  certain  amount  of  natural  oil  from 
the  scalp  and  the  oil  glands  do  their  best  to 
remedy  this  condition  by  sending  out  an  extra 
amount  of  oil  to  make  up  for  what  you  have 
washed  off.  If  you  will  read  the  answer  to 
G.  D.,  Iowa,  above,  you  will  find  an  excellent 
tonic  for  the  eyelashes  and  eyebrows.  You 
can  wear  cream  and  ivory  whites;  deep,  dark 
browns;  reddish  browns  and  pale  tans  not  so 
good;  midnight  and  darkest  navies;  pale  green 
in  evening  and  summer  dresses,  taupe  with 
pinkish  cast;  no  reds;  amber  tones  and  pale 
yellows;  flesh  pink  or  palest  blues.  No,  I  do 
not  think  a  girl  of  nineteen  is  too  old  to  take 
dancing  lessons  with  the  idea  of  going  on  the 
stage,  only  if  you  are  really  serious  in  your 
ambition  I  would  advise  you  to  get  to  work 
at  once.

You  arc  a  lucky  girl,  your  weight  is  just 
right  for  your  height. 

Anita,  San  Francisco. 

Anita,  do  you  know  that  of  the  beautiful 
girls  who  flock  into  Hollywood,  thousands  of 
them  trained  in  their  art.  possessing'personality 
ami  ability,  not  more  than  one  in  a  thousand 
proves  successful?  You  admit  you  have  no 
assets  except  pretliness.  Since  you  arc  sensible 
enough  to  know  that,  won't  you  be  sensible 
enough  to  stay  home  and  save  yourself  a  lot  of 
heartbreak?  I  do  know  the  industry,  but  I 
certainly  would  advise  no  girl  to  attempt  to 
break    into   it.

Sennet t  Rates  a  Brick 

Bennington,  Yt. 

Why  do  exhibitors  show  Mack  Sennett 
comedies?  In  the  well  known  infancy  of  the 
industry,  they  were,  the  best  of  their  kind. 
But  since  then  other  producers  have  made 
great  strides.  Sennett  seems  to  stand  still. 
Barring  a  few  gags  in  Ben  Turpin's  pictures 
I  haven't  gotten  a  healthy  laugh  from  a 
Sennett  comedy  in  years. 

Having  read  about  how  funny  Harry  Lang- 
don  was  I  saw  three  of  his  comedies.  They 
created  scarcely  a  ripple  of  laughter.  We  are 
not  hard  to  please,  either.  Extraneous  matters 
newer  did  Mabel  Xormand  half  as  much  harm 
as  the  vehicles  Sennett  gave  her.  "The 
Fxtra  Girl"  had  a  plot  that  was  threadbare. 
"Suzanna"  was  totally  devoid  of  humorous 
situations  and  "Molly  O"  was  extremely 
crude.    Xo  actress  could  survive  such  material. 

The  reported  stampede  at  the'  funeral  of 
Barbara  La  Marr  strikes  me  as  horrible. 
The  subject  of  much  cheap  and  possibly 
scurrilous  publicity,  during  her  brief  period 
of  fame  could  not  the  public  have  honored 
itself  by  permitting  her  dignity  in  death?

For  Plots  Kept  Pure 

Long  Beach.  Calif. 

Last  night  Charles  Ray  made  a  personal 
appearance  at  a  local  theater  and  in  his  speech 
he  said  "The  Auction  Block,"  was  written 
by  Rex  Beach,  that  is  he  thinks  he  wrote  it. 

But,  if  Re.x  Beach  ever  sees  this,  I  don't 
know  what  he'll  do  to  us. 

I  went  to  the  theater  with  the  high  hopes 
of  seeing  the  film  version  of  a  book  I  had 
loved,  only  to  see  an  entrancing  comedy, 
utterly  unlike  Rex  Beach's  novel. 

Charles  Ray  and  Eleanor  Boardman, 
were  splendidly  cast,  the  direction  was  fine 
and  the  subtitles  were  exceptionally  clever, 
yet  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  I  was  well  enter- 
tained, I  left  the  theater  disappointed.  I  had 
not  seen  "The  Auction  Block."  There  are 
very  many  other  instances  when  we  have  been 
lured  by  the  name  of  a  well  known  book  or 
play,  to  see  something  entirely  different. 

Is  it  fair  to  the  public  to  thus  collect  money 
under  false  pretenses?

<jh&  Chose  to  Stay  Qray 

Zlntii  JVotox  Was  Sxplained 


TVY( )  years  ago  she  felt  as  Strong  .1  pr<  judice  as  anyone  against  color- 
ing her  hair.  Now  she  uses  Notox  regularly. 

The  thing  which  converted  her,  which  first  prompted  her  to  use  Notox 
to  banish  her  gray  hair,  was  an  explanation  of  the  Notox  principle. 

Before  this,  her  hair  had  been  graying,  but  she  had  steadfastly  refused 
tocolorit — because  the  effects  of  such  preparations  as  existed  then  were 
more  disfiguring  than  the  gray  hair.  Women  who  used  them  look  so 
obviously  dyed.  The  tone  ot  their  hair  was  hard,  Hat,  unreal.  She  pre- 
ferred letting  hei   hair  stay  gray  to  having  it  look  like  that. 

Then  she  heard  of  Notox — a  hair  coloring  based  upon  a  new  and  a 
unique  scientific  principle.  When  she  understood  how  it  differed  from  the 
principles  ot  those  preparations  she  had  shunned,  she  was  converted  to 
coloring  her  hair. 

Hair,  she  learned,  is  a  long,  very  tiny  stem,  with  a  rough  outside 
covering.  Underneath  this  is  a  layer  of  fibres.  In  these  fibres  nature  puts 
its  color. 

Hair  also  is  translucent.  Light  passes  through  it,  as  it  docs  through 
fingernails.  And  so  the  natural  color  ot  hair,  as  we  see  it,  is  the  combined 
effect  ot  light  shining  on  the  hair  and  through  the  hair. 

When  hair  turns  gray — that  is,  when  nature  no  lorger  supplies  color 
to  its  inner  layer  of  fibres — it  is  hopeless  to  try  to  duplicate  the  former 
color  by  coloring  the  outside  covering  of  the  hair.  This  is  what  the  old- 
fashioned  restorer  did  and  this  is  why  it  failed. 

In  its  departure  from  this  unnatural  method  lies  the  distinctive 
principle  of  \otox. 

Notox  follows  nature's  method  of  coloring  hair — it  places  color  in  the 
layer  of  fibres  underneath  the  outer  covering  of  the  hair — right  where 
nature  used  to  put  its  own  color.  By  using  nature's  technique,  Notox 
duplicates  nature's  effects. 

These  facts  about  Notox  have  converted  not  onlv  one  woman,  but 
many  hundreds  of  thousands  ot  women  to  coloring  their  hair.  The  sheer 
beauty  of  the  effects  of  Notos  has  ever  since  kept  them  devoted  to  its 
regular  use.

Enclosed  please  find  one  vote  for  "Forbidden 
Paradise,"  which  is  taking  up  arms  for  the 
minority.  That  picture  will  never  win  a  com- 
petition. It  told  a  subtle,  true  and  rather 
ironic  story  and  the  American  public,  so  it 
appears  to  a  foreigner,  prefer?  corned  beef  and 
cabbage  to  caviar.  Certainly  the  former  is 
easier  on  their  mental  digestions.  So  I  vote  for 
"Forbidden  Paradise."  for  its  direction, 
authentic  atmosphere — if  it  was  transplanted 
to  the  ever-useful  Balkans — and  for  the  mar- 
velous acting  of  Pola  Negri.  Why  don't  we 
have  more  of  that  combination — Negri 
and  Lubitsch? 

And  may  one,  in  passing,  present  a  bouquet 
to  Mr.  Herbert  Howe  for  his  clever  articles 
that  would  make  one  of  our  Pennsylvania 
censors  chuckle?  Vera  Frank- Jones. 


Flowers  for  Mr.  Marmont 

Brooklyn.  N.  Y. 
Here  is  a  bouquet  for  Percy  Marmont.  He 
is  one  of  the  screen's  greatest  artists.  His  work 
in  "The  Street  of  Forgotten  Men"  cannot  le 
excelled.  I  agree  with  Louise  de  Lisle  that 
Ramon  Novarro  and  Mary  Astor  should  play 
"Romeo  and  Juliet."  Also  Ramon  and  Lillian 
Gish  as  "  Launcelot  and  Elaine."

In  Praise  of  Warner  Baxter 

El  Paso,  Texas. 
If  anything  has  been  published  recently  in 
these  columns  by  way  of  criticism  of  Warner. 
Baxter.  I  have  not  seen  it.  I  believe  he  is  grow- 
ing daily  in  popularity,  and  justly  so.  He  is 
one  of  the  screen's  best  and  most  versatile 
players.  Here's  to  Warner  Baxter,  with  the 
hope  that  the  producers  may  find  better  stories 
for  him.  His  pretty,  charming  wife,  Winifred 
Bryson,  is  always  an  asset  to  a  picture,  although 
often  mis-cast  in  a  semi-vampire  role.  Miss 
Bryson  is  a  charming  girl  and  I  wish  we  could 
see  her  more  often.  Jane  A.  Parker. 


Herb  Is  Two-thirds  Wrong 

Since  Mr.  Herbert  Howe  has  given  his  choice 
of  the  ten  most  beautiful  ladies  on  earth,  now 
that  I  have  had  a  gallery  of  the  most  beautiful 
for  some  time  I  am  taking  the  liberty  of  giving 
mine  also. 

In  three  instances  I  agree  with  Mr.  Howe. 
Alice  Terry,  Man'  Astor  and  Florence  Yidor 
have  important  places  in  my  gallery.  Pola 
Negri,  Corinne  Griffith.  May  Allison.  Greta 
Xisson,  Barbara  La  Marr.  Nita  Naldi  and  May 
McAvoy  haven't  nearly  so  much  beauty  to  my 
notion  as  Lois  Wilson,  who  seems  to  have  one 
of  the  brightest  and  most  expressive  faces  in 
captivity,  or  Jacqueline  Logan,  our  own  Norma 
Talmadge,  Madge  Bellamy  and  that  very  little 
baby  star,  June  Marlowe,  who  comprise  the 
rest  of  my  gallon-. 

I  have  only  eight  in  my  gallery,  but  Mr. 
Howe  had  ten  so.  after  profound  deliberation. 
I  have  addetl  Kobe  Daniels  and  after  still 
profounder  deliberation.  I  could  not  decide  be- 
tween Norma  Shearer,  Anita  Stewart  and 
Marion  Davies  for  tenth  place.  So  take  your 
choice.  E.  I.  C. 


None  of  Us  Is  Perfeet 

Atlanta.  Ga. 
Just  a  few  words  in  defense  of  R.  Yalentino. 
No  matter  what  the  critics  may  say  about 
Rudy  being  upstage,  hard  to  handle,  the  public 
wants  him  because  he  is  a  great  artist.  No- 
body can  dispute  this.  If  Mr.  Yalentino  has 
made  mistakes,  give  him  time  to  correct  this 
error.  None  of  us  is  perfect  What  the  world 
wants  now  is  the  great  artists  and  not  a  lot  of 
artists.  So  let's  help  this  great  artist  regain  his 
former  place.  Ada  Wilcox.

Another  Plea  for  Revivals 

Tulsa.  Okla. 

Ever  since  seeing  "V  Connecticut  Yankee," 
I  have  greatly  admired  Harry  Myers.  He  has 
since  done  so  many  small  parts  as  will  as  in 
"Main  Street,"  "The  Beautiful  and  the 
Damned"  and  "Brass,"  that  I  think  he  de- 
serves  some  good  parts.  He  is  a  real  comedian 
and  I  would  like  to  see  "A  Connecticut 
Yankee"  again. 

Speaking  of  revivals,  why  not  re-issue  some 
of  the  old  favorites  such  as  "The  Miracle 
Man."  "To  Have  and  To  Hold"  and  "The 
Sheik"?  The  latter  would  revive  a  lot  of  the 
Valentino  enthusiasm.        INTERESTED  FAN. 

Pictures  to  Make  Us  Hope 

Boulder,  Colo. 

I  am  reluctant  to  admit  that  I  am  the  sort 
of  fellow  who  ridicules  pictures  during  the 
show  for  the  benefit  of  those  whose  misfortune 
it  is  to  be  sitting  near  me.  Xor  do  I  get  any 
joy  in  performing  postmortems  regarding  pro- 
ductions. But  if  there  is  one  tiling  that  spells 
agony  in  capital  letters  for  me  it  is  the  realiza- 
tion that  I  have  parted  with  good  money  to 
view  a  Ritzy  society  scandal  that  uses  up  one 
and  a  half  hours  to  get  to  the  point  of  starting, 
and  gives  one  a  bad  taste  all  next  day. 

The  kind  of  pictures  I'm  casting  my  ballot 
for  is  the  kind  that  makes  one  feel  that  life 
isn't  so  bad  after  all;  the  kind  that  portrays 
to  us  the  full  meaning  of  what  it  is  to  be  an 
American;  that  calls  for  action  (not  neces- 
sarily confined  to  indoors)  and  photoplays  that 
give  us  a  new  hold  upon  hope.  \Ye*re  all  just 
plain  people  when  the  truth  is  threshed  out, 
and  what  we  want  in  pictures  is  something  to 
make  us  feel  glad — a  picture  that  prods  us  out 
of  the  rut  of  everyday  things  and  into  a  secret, 
future  ambition.  I  have  in  mind  "Abraham 
Lincoln,"  "The  Pride  of  Palomar,"  "The 
Mine  with  the  Iron  Door,"  "The  Alaskan." 
"•When  a  Man's  a  Man"  and  "Sundown."  and 
the  tvpe  of  "Classmates"  and  "North  of  36." 
D.  B.  Goode. 


Hughes,  Tvpieal  American,  Not 
Dix 

Paterson.  X.  J. 
I  wish  to  congratulate  Mrs.  St.  Johns  on 
her  fine  taste  in  selecting  the  ten  handsomest 
men  on  the  screen.  I  was  very  afraid  she  was 
going  to  leave  out  Ronald  Colman.  Most  of 
the  critics  seem  to  prefer  John  Gilbert  to 
Ronald,  but  I'm  for  the  latter.  However,  I 
must  admit  that  John  Gilbert  also  is  handsome. 
The  only  fault  I  could  possibly  find  with  the 
selection  is  that  Lloyd  Hughes  should  be  sub- 
stituted for  Richard  Dix  as  the  typical  Amer- 
ican. M.  S.

A  dainty  new 
creme  deodorant 
—  stops  odor  all  day 

"No,  I  am  never  bothered  with  perspira- 
tion." How  often  you  hear  this!  And 
never  was  there  a  greater  mistake.  Just 
because  you  are  not  annoyed  with  perspi- 
ration moisture,  don't  be  too  sure  that 
you  are  free  from  all  trace  of  odor.  Every- 
one must  watch  this  danger. 

And  here,  now,  is  a  delightful  creme 
that  keeps  you  fresh  and  dainty  all  day 
long.  Creme  Odorono  annuls  every  trace 
of  odor  without  checking  perspiration. 

It  is  delightful  to  use  —  so  creamy  scft

BROWNS  DESIGNERS 


Hot  Spring.  Ark. 

This  is  just  an  agreement  and  a  disagreement 
villi  Howard  Cunningham.  Mr.  Cunning- 
ham had  a  word  of  praise  for  Willard  Louis. 
I,  too,  like  him  very  much.  But  I  disagree 
with  Mr.  Cunningham  in  regard  to  that  bored 
look  of  Conway  Tearle.  How  could  he  play  the 
roles  he  does  play  and  have  the  happy-go- 
lucky  expression  of  Mr.  Louis?  I  love  Con  ■  ay 
Tearle's  frown  and  he  heads  my  list  of  favorite 
actors.  I  love  to  see  Monte  Blue"s  frown,  too. 
If  I  should  see  either  of  them  in  a  picture  in 
which  they  failed  to  have  their  wonderful 
frown,  I  would  be  awfully  disappointed. 

So  keep  on  frowning,  Conway  Tearle,  and 
we  will  all  keep  on  loving  you. 

Mrs.  Marie  Bells. 

Just  Simply  Disappointed 

Xorth  Dakota. 
I'm  just  simply  disappointed.  I  had  been 
reading  "The  Keeper  of  the  Bees, "  thinking  all 
the  time  what  a  fine  story  it  is  and  what  a 
wonderful  picture  it  would  make.  When  I 
learned  it  was  to  be  filmed  I  was  overjoyed. 
But  now  on  learning  the  cast — well,  you  see  I 
had  set  my  heart  on  Glenn  Hunter.  Surely  no 
one  could  portray  Jamie  McFarlanc  more 
naturally  than  he.  If  you  will  notice  the  illus- 
trations accompanying  the  story  you  can  easily 
mark  the  resemblance.  Glenn  Hunter  is  the 
hero  through  and  through.  And  now  look 
what  they  did.    Well,  I'm  just  simply 

Disappointed. 


New  Fan  for  Carol  Dempster 

Lexington,  Mo. 

I  have  just  returned  from  seeing  D.  W. 
Griffith's  production,  "That  Royle  Girl,"  and 
I  want  to  throw  the  greatest  possible  bouquet 
to  Carol  Dempster  for  her  beauty,  youth,  fine 
acting  and  charm  in  that  picture.  I  never 
cared  to  see  her  until  I  saw  that  picture.  Xow 
1  have  vowed  never  to  miss  any  film  in  which 
she  appears.  Success  to  Miss  Dempster  from 
one  of  her  most  ardent  fans! 

Praise  must  also  go  to  D.  W.  Griffith  for  his 
masterful  direction.  Only  Griffith  could  have 
made  "That  Royle  Girl"  the  living,  breathing, 
thrilling  picture  that  it  is.  Especially  the 
cyclone  scene — I  shall  never  forget  it.

Hey!  Herb 

Dallas,  Texas. 

I  wonder  if  those  five  hundred  motion  picture 
critics  think  they  have  settled  the  question  of 
the  ten  most  beautiful  women  on  the  screen? 
They  have  only  added  fuel  to  a  smouldering 
fire,  started  some  months  ago  by  Herbert 
Howe.  Xow  I  enjoy  this  gentleman's  writings 
immensely,  though  I  sometimes  take  them 
with  a  grain  of  salt.  When  he  picked  his  ten 
most  beautiful  women,  however,  his  failure  to 
include  Xorma  Talmadge  in  the  list  really  sent 
me  up  in  the  air.  This  is  just  a  little  loo  much 
for  an}'  Talmadge  fan.  I  say  she  is  the  most 
beautiful  of  them  all! 

I  know  I  haven't  settled  a  thing.  I  did  not 
intend  to.  W.  L.  WORSHAM. 

Clivc  Brook  a  "Wow" 

Pittsfield,  Mass. 

I  want  to  hand  that  estimable  man.  Clive 
Brook,  a  great  big  bouquet.  In  my  opinion  he 
ranks  above  all  others,  for  one  is  always  sure 
of  an  interesting  performance  when  he  is  in  a 
cast  of  a  picture.  In  •'Seven  Sinners"  with 
Marie  Prevost  he  was  a  wow,  and  1  laughed  my 
sides  off  at  him.    Please  let  us  see  more  of  him. 

Why  is  Holmes  Herbert  sliding  into  obscu- 
rity? 

I  am  going  to  be  original  and  not  say  a  word 
of  praise  for  cither  Jack  Gilbert  or  Richard  Dix. 
I  notice  they  got  enough  (lattery,  but  I'll  own 
they  deserve  every  bit  of  it.    Brown  Eyes.

This  is  one  letter  tli.it   won't  get  published! 

No  lettei   mentioning  John  Gilbert  without 
praise  ever  is. 

I've  been  thinking  of  a  rem.uk  by  some 
writer  that  three  actors,  Barthelmess,  Colman 
and  lien  Lyon,  all  had  praised  Gilbert  It  re 
minded  me  of  a  story  Herbert  Howe  told  al  the 
time  " Scaramouche "  was  being  made  Edith 
Allen  said  of  a  certain  actor,    My,  but  thn 

man  is  jealous  of  Ramon  Xovarro  "    "\\li\ 
asked  Herbert,  "did  he  knock  him.'''    "No," 
answered  Edith,  "IK-  praised  him  I" 

I  would  feel  more  confident  oi  the  sincerit) 
of  the  gentlemen  mentioned  above  it  thej

tion  in  order  to  do  so.  She  should  make  every 
difficulty  in  her  life  couui  for  so  much  exper 

ience;  hut  instead  or  this,  sin-  bemoans  the 
chances  that  others  have  and  neglects  the  ones 
she  might  utilize  for  herself. 

If  your  destiny  number  is  I,  it  shows  a  strong 
creative  influence  and  will  unconsciously  seek 
the  3  tii  carry  out  its  ideas.  A  2  will  seek  the 
people  with  the  influence  of  6  for  busine>s  or 
domestic  associations.  A  3  welcomes  the  work 
with  the  i  and  a  4  is  always  seeking  association 
with  the  high  free  numbers  like  the  S  for  a 
complete  harmony.  Each  number  seeks  its 
complement  for  fuller  expression  and  during 
your  birth  month,  you  should  carefully  study 
the  conditions  of  your  life  and  the  direction  of 
your  ambitions.  If  you  were  born  in  January, 
for  instance,  take  advantage  of  every  oppor- 
tunity for  ad\-ancement  that  it  offers  when 
January  rolls  around. 

THE  key  for  the  study  of  your  destiny  num- 
ber is  simple  enough.  The  means  for  de- 
termining the  digit  of  the  month  was  explained 
in  the  last  issue  of  Photoplay,  beginning  with 
January,  a  1  month,  February  2  month,  and 
so  on.  When  you  reach  October  and  Nbvem- 
ber,  simply  use  the  total  digit.  November,  for 
instance,  1  and  1  make  2,  so  that  its  numerical 
significance  is  2  and  December  is  3.  If  you 
were  born  on  February  14th,  1882  you  would 
cast  the  chart  as  follows: 


•  35 


February 
2 


14 
5 


1332 
1 


You  arrive  at  this  by  finding  the  total  digit 
of  14,  which  is  5  and  of  1882,  by  adding  to- 
gether the  figures  and  arriving  at  10.  As  all 
ciphers  are  eliminated,  we  have  1.  Adding 
together  the  2  and  5  and  1,  we  have  your  des- 
tiny number  which  is  S.  Xow,  then,  anybody 
can  determine  his  own  destiny  number  for 
himself. 

If  you  find  that  you  have  a  higher  destiny 
number  that  your  Ideality  or  Aid  numbers,  it 
indicates  that  you  must  always  tread  the  up- 
ward road,  always  seeking  vibrations  and  con- 
ditions and  people  above  you  and  never  sa'is- 
fied  with  an  inferior  position  in  any  way.  It  is 
a  number  which  advances  you  by  the  "trial 
and  error"  method  and  you  must  always  be 
willing  to  meet  severe  tests  of  character  and 
ability. 

If  your  birthdigit  points  to  a  business  career, 
don't  waste  time  in  dreaming  of  an  artistic  life. 
If  it  tells  you  that  your  lesson  in  life  is  that  of  a 
teacher  and  helper,  cease  to  struggle  uselessly 
for  monetary  success —  money  will  always 
come  to  you  when  needed.  So  don't  drift — 
face  your  job.  And  here  is  a  table  for  consulta- 
tion in  figuring  out  your  destiny. 

1 — Is  the  creative  influence.  If  you  are  in- 
clined to  work  on  the  destructive  plane,  how-

and  difficult  to  work  with  and  so  may  destroy 
all  of  your  creative  ability. 

2 — Is  the  influence  that  draws  all  sorts  of 
experience  to  you.  A  2  destiny  number  usu- 
ally makes  you  a  ^ood  politician  and  disliking 
trouble  or  quarrels  of  all  kinds.  You  slip  into 
situations  as  water  molds  itself  into  a  square  or 
a  round  pan.  This  is  a  receptive  number 
rather  than  a  creative  one;  but  gets  along  well 
with  the  1. 

3 — Is  the  number  of  pleasant  personalities. 
Usually  dislikes  menial  labor  of  all  kinds,  -eeks 
happy  influences  and  is  generally  accomplished 
and  entertaining.  May  choose  wisely  from 
almost  any  vocation  that  does  not  entail  physi- 
cal labor,  for  the  3  is  very  intuitive  and  has 
strong  mental  qualities.  The  destructive  plane 
makes  you  a  destructive  chatterbox,  without 
accomplishing  any  results  but  always  planning 
to  do  great  things. 

4 — Is  an  influence  that  demands  a  literal 
translation.  Engineers,  farmers,  architects — 
any  one  working  with  literal  form  and  line  and 
detail  come  from  this  4  power.  It  is  always 
steadfast  and  dependable,  especially  where  en- 
durance is  called  for.  The  4  people  make  good 
technical  workers  but  distrust  anything  they 
do  not  understand. 

5 — Is  the  influence  that  demands  change,  in- 
spiration, spiritual  enlightenment,  curiosity 
and  originality.  Sometimes  oddly  generous 
with  one  hand  and  miserly  with  the  other.  5 
people  should  follow  any  line  that  utilizes  the 
ability  to  promote  for  it  demands  freedom  and 
new  opportunities. 

6 — Is  the  influence  for  organization.  The 
6  people  make  line  workers  in  any  occupation 
that  keeps  them  in  touch  with  masses.  They 
like  to  be  constantly  busy  and  active  for  five  or 
six  hours  in  the  day  and  then  want  to  play  the 
rest  of  the  time.  The  destructive  plane  may 
make  them  meddlesome  and  interfering,  how- 
ever. 

7 — Is  the  influence  for  refinement,  for  re- 
serve and  for  quiet  research.  It  is  a  limited 
number  and  finds  it  difficult  to  express  itself 
readily.  People  with  this  destiny  number 
should  take  every  opportunity  for  quiet  medi- 
tation and  should  hear  plenty  of  good  music. 

8 — Is  an  influence  that  makes  for  business 
aggression — where  lots  of  push  and  constant 
work  is  required.  Is  a  good  money  maker  like 
the  6  and  works  well  with  either  the  2  or  the  4. 

0 — Is  the  number  that  indicates  complete 
expression.  The  0  people  like  to  dramatize 
themselves  on  every  occasion.  Make  good 
travellers  and  excellent  philanthropies,  apt  to 
display  great  generosity  and  great  jealousy  at 
the  same  time.  They  dislike  to  work  under  the 
direction  of  others  and  usually  consider  them- 
selves above  the  laws  that  govern  the  average 
person.

Destiny 2 

1926  law 3 

This  name  gives  an  influence  of  the  5.  It 
brings  about  its  owner  a  very  constructive 
tendency  and  a  desire  always  to  begin  a  new 
life  in  experience.  It  draws  an  atmosphere  of 
inspiration  and  of  spiritual  attainment,  which 
may  be  marred  by  caprice  and  the  ultimate 
goal  of  ambition  thereby  thwarted.  It  gives  a 
love  of  action  ami  of  beauty — a  desire  to  taste 
dee])  of  every  experience  that  life  has  to  offer 
and  an  individuality  that  is  strongly  marked. 
It  resents  bonds  of  any  sort  and  constantly 
seeks  both  material  and  spiritual  freedom  and 
social  advantages.  While  her  generosity  is 
marked,  she  will  have  a  peculiar  habit  of  saving 
some  old  garment  or  possession  that  is  a  sym- 
bol to  her  of  some  happy  event  in  her  life.  Very 
outspoken  of  things  she  does  not  like  but 
markedly  devoted  and  loyal  to  those  whom  she 
hues  and  whose  battles  she  will  fight  to  the 
bitter  end.

1926  Law 1 

This  name  confers  and  ideality  of  =;  brings  a 

sense  of  adventure  and  of  distaste  for  monot- 
ony that  evinces  itself  often  !>oth  in  his  work 
and  his  recreation. 

HE  docs  not  like  to  keep  at  anything  long  at 
a  time  and  learns  so  readily  that  he  refuses 
to  accustom  himself  to  hard  digging  or  mental 
drudgery  that  others  require  to  attain  the 
degree  of  success  that  has  come  to  him.  His 
name  power  of  p  brings  with  it  a  somewhat 
difficult  standard  to  maintain  and  requires  an 
impersonal  attitude  toward  life  that  will  cause 
him  vast  difficulties  if  he  does  not  obey  it. 

Any  possession,  for  example,  that  he  values 
too  highly  and  \>ith  too  personal  an  attitude, 
will  gradually  slip  away  from  him.  His  con- 
tacts with  life  must  always  be  with  a  generic, 
rather  than  a  specific  purpose  and  should  be 
entirely  impersonal. 

He  is  endowed  by  nature  with  great  abilities, 
which  may  prove  either  good  or  evil  accord- 
ingly as  he  uses  them.  He  has,  for  instance, 
great  powers  for  helping  others  and  the  more 
he  gives,  the  more  he  will  himself  receive. 

He  can  always  use  his  numerical  powers  to 
succeed  in  anything  he  undertakes;  but  be- 
cause of  this  very-  fact,  he  does  not  always  take 
the  trouble  to  make  the  best  of  his  really 
marvelous  powers. 

He  is  inclined  to  put  off  disagreeable  duties 
always  with  the  hope  that  something  will  hap- 
pen to  prevent  his  having  to  do  them  at  all — 
and  frequently  this  does  happen.  His  destiny 
influence  is  that  of  the  3  and  the  lesson  he  must 
learn  thoroughly  is  that  of  sincerity  and  pur- 
pose. 

The  powers  it  bestows  give  him  the  ability  to 
make  and  to  keep  friends  and  to  be  exceedingly 
entertaining  and  popular.  The  year  1026  holds 
a  tranquil  influence  for  him  and  he  should  not 
attempt  to  undertake  anything  new  this  year. 
Rather,  he  should  take  the  day's  task  as  it 
comes  and  set  himself  to  accepting  even'  ex- 
perience that  the  year  brings  forth  to  him  as  a 
preparation  for  a  busy  year  in  1927,  when  he 
will  have  ample  to  keep  him  busy  in  every  way. 
1926  will  bring  him  new  friends  and  many 
pleasant  experiences  if  he  keeps  on  the  con- 
structive plane — if  not,  it  will  surround  him 
with  constant  confusion  and  bickering,  with  a 
subsequent  loss  of  friendships  that  he  will 
greatly  deplore.

'Tin  Too  Fat 

That's  folly  nowadays 

Look  about  you.  Note  how  slender- 
tiess  prevails.  Excess  fat  is  not  one- 
tenth  so  common  as  it  was. 

Ask  those  slender  people  why.  Some 
will  say,  "I  starved  and  exercised." 
More  will  say,  "I  took  Marmola  Pre- 
scription Tablets  and  they  brought  my 
weight  down  at  once." 

That's  the  modern,  scientific  way,  the 
easy  pleasant  way.  People  have  used 
it  for  18  years.  Now  they  are  using 
100,000  boxes  monthly  because  of  the 
proved  results. 

Investigate  Marmola  in  fairness  to 
yourself.  Don't  let  excess  fat  blight 
your  beauty,  your  health,  your  efficiency, 
when  millions  know  how  to  avoid  it. 

We  state  every  ingredient  in  Mar- 
mola, tell  you  how  and  why  it  acts.  You 
will  know  why  results,  which  seem  so 
amazing,  come  in  a  natural  way.  Then 
are  bound  to  let  Marmola  bring  you 
to  the  weight  you  want.

"THERF.  S  no  reason  now  for  anybody 
■*■  to  become  gray — or  even  gray-streak- 
ed. For  Brownatone,  ihe  preparation 
so  antiseptic  that  there  isn't  the  slightest 
doubt  as  to  its  perfect  safety,  can  bring 
back  the  original  color  and  beauty  to 
your  hair.  It  tints  gray,  faded,  bleached 
or  unbecomingly  streaked  hair  in  natural 
tones  of  blonde,  brown  or  black. 

Easy  to  Use  and  it  Acts  Instantly 
Not  the  least  bit  of  trouble  to  use,  either 
— as  you  simply  comb  the  color  through. 
And  it  acts  instantly.      Any  woman  can 
apply  Brownatone  herself,  at  home! 

Color  Remains 
As  Brownatone  permeates  each  separate 
hair  so  thoroughly,  the  color  cannot  rub 
off  or  wash  out.  So  there's  no  interfer- 
ence with  shampooing — or  even  marcel- 
ling, permanent  waving  or  scalp  treat- 
ments. Further  applications  are  needed 
only  as  hair  grows. 

Brownatone  comes  in  two  colors  from 
which  any  shade  may  be  obtained.  At 
drug  and  toilet  counters,  everywhere, 
50c  and  $1.50. 

Send  10c  Jor  Test  Bottle  of  Brownatone!  It

Well,  We  Praised  It  I  ir.i 

Log  Vjigeles,  Calif 
\..i  bein  (ai  tly  an  ardent  motion  \>u  tun 
fan,  I  am  perhaps  unqualified  to  express  my 
ideas  on  a  picture.  Hut  upon  witnessing 
"His  People  I  was  literally  stunned  l>\  the 
realism  <>!'  the  production.  N'ever  have  I 
enjoyed  .1  picture  quite  so  much  ;h  I  « i it i 
■  His  People."  The  cast  was  excellent,  es- 
pecially  the  work  of  Georjje  Lewis,  and  I  wish 
ta  throw  .1  large  bouquet  directly  at  him 
The  picture  was  far  more  interesting  and 
enjoyable  than  1  could  have  imagined  and  I 
was  so  impressed  by  it  that  I  just  couldn't 
resist  sitting  down  and  jotting  olT  my  ideas. 
It  more  pictures  like  "His  People"  were  pro- 
duced  and  less  sex  pictures,  it  would  be  a 
considerable  boost  for  "Greater  Pictures."

i',it  Gel  a  Shave,  Doug 

San  I'ram isco,  Calif. 

Everyone  lias  by  this  time  heard  of  the 
tremendous  success  scored  by  "Don  Q,"  and 
has  either  seen  or  heard  of  the  unusual  re- 
■ponse  of  the  audience  when  Doug  appears 
as  Zorro.  Critics  have  spoken  of  it.  and  said 
in  touching  tones  that  the  public  never  forgets 
a  well  beloved  screen  character.  That  is  true 
But  there  was  another  factor  contributing  to 
the  success  of  that  scene.  Something  that 
struck  u>  fans  "all  of  a  heap."  Know  what 
•4* was?     Doug  sans  mustache! 

\  es,  of  course  we  were  cheering  our  old 
friend  Zorro.  but  we  were  also  trying  to 
express  our  love  for  the  old  Doug — that 
blythe  and  breezy  fellow — Doug  WITHOUT 
THE  MUSTACHE.

I  have  never  written  a  "bouquet"  before, 
but  feel  impelled  to  write  of  Mary  Pickford's 
artistry  as  shown  in  "Little  Annie  Roomy." 
Mary  must  have  lived  in  the  part  where  she  is 
told  that  her  "Pops"  has  gone  to  return 
"  never  no  more. "  for  her  audience  lived  it 
with  her.  We  all  cried  and  weren't  ashamed 
of  it.  When  she  was  on  her  knees  and  then 
slowly,  so  slowly,  stretched  herself  on  the 
floor  as  realization  came  to  her.  our  hearts 
ached  with  hers.  Her  grief  wasn't  that  of  a 
pampered  child,  but  of  a  child-woman  on 
whose  shoulders  responsibilities  have  rested. 

Many  years  have  passed  since  my  father 
died,  but  in  Mary's  realization  of  her  father's 
death.  I  was  again  a  child  being  told  that  my 
beloved  daddy  had  gone  to  return  "never  no 
more. " 

O,  Mary  the  poignant  wistfullness  of  your 
"Little  Annie  Rooney"  will  live  in  my  heart 
forever.

Chicago.  111. 

Will  John  Gilbert  be  a  star  in  1930?  With 
the  pictures  which  he  has  acted  in  he  sure 
don't  seem  as  though  he  would  ever  lose  his 
popularity.  But  the  public  is  peculiar  and 
John  might  go  just  like  a  lot  of  the  stars,  after 
a  few  great  pictures  they  begin  to  fail. 

If  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  gives  him  pic- 
tures and  stories  like  "The  Mem-  Widow" 
and  "The  Big  Parade"  he  will  always  go  on 
as  the  best  actor  on  the  screen.  I  am  a  picture 
fan  and  see  about  7  movies  a  week,  and  the 
one  that  is  superior  over  all  the  rest  is  "The 
Big  Parade. "

I've  Found 

A  Great  Shampoo 
It  makes  hair  sunny 

By  Edna  Wallace  Hopper. 

The  greatest  beauty  experts  in  the  world  send 
me  their  latest  creations.  They  consider  me  the 
leading  exponent  of  beauty,  both  on  the  stage 
and  in  print.  Millions  of  girls  and  women  use 
what  I  employ.  So  every  new  discovery  comes 
to   me. 

Two  years  ago  I  received  a  new-type  shampoo. 
It  came  from  a  laboratory  which  for  60  years 
has  made  a  study  of  shampoos.  It  has  made  up 
and  tested  some  250  formulas.  They  said  this  was 
their  final  creation.  It  embodied  the  best  they  had 
learned.  And  it  also  included  two  new  ingre- 
dients which  gave  hair  a  sunny  glint. 

I  tried  it.  The  results  were  amazing  and  de- 
lightful. It  not  only  cleaned,  but  it  beautified. 
My  hair,  when  dried,  had  a  lustrous  sheen  it 
never  had  before.  I  have  never  used  a  shampoo 
to  compare. 

I  had  bottles  sent  to  1,000  women  to  get  their 
verdict  on  it.  From  everywhere  came  demands 
for  more.     Every  user  seemed  to  echo  my  delights. 

So  I  had  those  experts  make  it  for  me — and  for 
you.  All  toilet  counters  now  supply  it  as  Edna 
Wallace  Hopper's  Fruity  Shampoo.  And  it  costs 
no  more  than  others. 

Let  me  send  a  sample  bottle.  Note  how  it  cleans 
both  the  hair  and  scalp.  Note  the  afterglow.  You 
will  learn  a  new  way  to  hair  beauty.  The  coupon 
will  bring  the  simple  with  my  Beauty  Book  and 
some  powder.     Clip  it  now.

Modern  science's  greatest  contribution  to 
the  world's  art  is  the  motion  picture,  but  we 
arc  only  now  learning  how  to  use  it  artistically 
and  few  have  wanted  to  call  it  an  art.  The 
cinema  is  a  happy  combination  of  an  art  and 
an  industr-'  but  of  course  the  industry  has 
grown  a  lot  taster  than  the  art. 

Let's  have  less  unlilmable  stories  and  more 
pictorially  beautiful  ones,  especially  i  ictures 
told  moreby  the  camera  and  less  by  uninterest- 
ing subtitles. 

"The  Big  Parade"  is  a  real  masterp:e?e 
and  would  still  be  one  without  subtitles.  In 
it  the  characters  live  the  story  which  is  a 
simple  one,  but  well  told.  Renee  Adoree, 
especially,  is  right  back  in  war  torn  Belgium 
again  and  every  scene  tells  more  than  a 
Shakespeare  could  tell  in  a  whole  play.  The 
one  photographic  plot  is  the  distortion  of  the 
impressive  scene  of  the  endless  line  of  motor 
lories  by  using  the  telephoto  lens.

Dolores  Saves  "Mannequin"' 

Chicago,  111. 

That  phrase  "There's  no  accounting  for 
taste,"  must  have  been  especially  coined  for 
the  judges  of  the  great  "Liberty"  scenario 
contest  who  awarded  the  Sso.ooo  prize  to 
Fannie  Hurst,  the  literary  exponent  of  drab 
home  life  (but  who,  it  is  understood,  does  not 
practice  what  she  pens)  for  her  story  "  Manne- 
quin." 

After  reviewing  the  picture,  now  being 
shown  at  three  of  the  largest  playhouses  in 
Chicago,  one  wonders  why  the  haste  in  placing 
it  before  the  public.  The  plot  is  threadbare 
from  use:  The  beautiful  baby,  stolen  in 
infancy,  reared  in  poverty,  and  after  many 
trials  and  tribulations  restored  to  her  rich 
parents  through  a  series  of  remarkable  coin- 
cidences, which  are  a  terrific  strain  on  the 
credulity  of  the  average  audience. 

The  exquisite  beauty  of  Dolores  Costello, 
however,  makes  it  worth  seeing.

Another  Boyd  Boost 

Manchester.  Eng. 

As  a  regular  reader  of  your  magazine  since 
I  first  made  its  acquaintance  five  years  ago. 
but  who  until  now  has  "laid  low  and  said 
nothing,"  I  think  I  can  break  the  silence 
without   being  accused  of  "hogging"  space. 

I  am  always  interested  in  hearing  opinions 
on  the  never-settled  question  of  Wallace  Reid's 
successor. 

Here  are  my  views  on  the  subject: 

Richard  Dix,  Reginald  Denny,  and  George 
O'Brien,  much  as  I  admire  them,  appear  too 
well  able  to  take  care  of  themselves,  and  quite 
lack  that  half-shy,  wistful  appeal  so  charac- 
teristic of  Wally. 

Ben  Lyon  is  nearer  to  the  type,  but  where 
Wall}-  seemed  a  man  with  the  heart  of  a 
child,  Lyon  seems,  rather,  a  child  with  the 
heart  of  a  man. 

This  also  applies  to  Buster  Collier.  Jack 
Mulhall  might  have  stood  some  chance,  but 
he  has  made  good  in  quite  a  different  type. 

Once  I  thought  Raymond  McKee  might 
aspire  to  the  coveted  place,  but  he  seems  to 
have  fallen  short  somewhere. 

But  one  player  has  always  interested  me 
since  I  saw  him  as  an  extra,  sonic  years  ago. 
I  have  been  impressed  with  his  personality 
and  so  many  of  Wally's  characteristics  does 
he  possess  thai  I  always  call  him  "Wally  the 
Second,"  so  it  was  with  great  pleasure  that 
1  read  in  Photoplay  that  he  has  at  last  gained 
stardom. 

Here's  wishing  you  every  success.  William 

Boyd!    Wally  has  so  far  been  the  only  perfect 

screen    idol,    but    please    let     Boyd    have    his 

chance  to  be  the  Wallace  Reid  of  tomorrow.

Seattle,  Washington. 

I  herewith  send  two  bouquets:  One  to 
Blanche  Sweet  and  the  other  to  Ben  Lyon. 
The  portrayals  of  their  respective  rcles  in 
"The  New  Commandment"  make  them 
worthy  of  high  praise. 

This  was  the  perfect  picture.  The  scenes, 
especially  those  depicting  the  war.  were  won- 
derful. Blanche  Sweet  and  Ben  Lyon  have 
long  been  among  my  favorites  and  now  I  shall 
give  them  first  place.  These  two  artists  of 
screenland  are  making  rapid  strides  towards 
a  great  popularity.  If  they  each  continue  to 
make  pictures  as  successfully  as  "The  New 
Commandment,"  their  futures  will  be  un- 
limited. 

There  is  no  actress  with  more  finesse  than 
Blanche  Sweet.  In  fact,  adjectives  prove 
superficial  when  I  try  to  describe  her  merits. 

With  regard  to  Ben  Lyon  there  can  be  no 
doubt  of  his  acting  ability.  Although  a  com- 
parative new-comer,  he  shows  remarkable 
promise. 

I  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  these  two 
artists  for  giving  us  such  a  splendid  picture.

Nashville.  Tenn. 

I  had  the  pleasure  during  the  past  few  days 
of  seeing  Cecil  B.  De  Mille's  newest  masculine 
lead — William  Boyd. 

His  portrayal  of  the  Rev.  John  in  the  "Road 
to  Yesterday"  was  absolutely  flawless,  and 
his  performance  in  "Steel  Preferred"  was  the 
paramount  feature  of  what.  I  should  judge,  a 
splendid  picture. 

I  predict  a  very  successful  career  for  him 
and  with  careful  selection  of  his  future  pictures. 
I  believe  he  can  give  the  picture  loving  public 
the  finest  impersonations  of  a  really  true 
blooded  American  the  screen  has  offered  since 
Wally  Reid.  We  are  anxiously  awaiting  his 
"Volga  Boatman!'' 

May  we  see  more  of  him!

No  picture  is  more  refreshing  to  a  movie  fan 
who  has  reached  middle  life  than  one  which 
reflects  the  spirit  of  youth.  To  see  in  such  a 
picture  an  actress  like  Betty  Bronson,  who  so 
thoroughly  emulates  the  youthful  spirit,  is 
indeed  a  treat. 

Pictures  like  "Peter  Pan"  and  "A  Kiss  for 
Cinderella"  are  heavy  drawing  cards,  not 
only  for  children,  but  grown-ups  as  well.  The 
tonic  effects  of  such  pictures  on  the  elders  can- 
not be  estimated. 

Anyone  who  feels  he  is  growing  old  before 
his  time  should  not  fail  to  see  pictures  of  this 
kind.  I  honestly  believe  if  Ponce  De  Leon 
were  living  today,  he  would  tell  us  that  the 
•'fountain  of  Youth"  could  be  found  in  pic- 
tures of  the  kind  mentioned.

But  Women  Like  *Em 

Detroit,  Michigan 
The  most  attractive  actress  is  Jetta  Goudal. 
She  is  not   American  by  birth  but  she  cer- 
tainly lias  appeal. 

Two  popular  actors  who  are  not  popular 
with  me  are  John  Gilbert  and  Ronald  Colman 
but  then  I  am  a  man  and  apt  to  be  jealous  of 
them.  They  both  act  rather  spoiled  to  my 
way  of  thinking.  Great  sheiks  who  won't 
take  no  for  an  answer.  In  that  respect  they 
are  like  obnoxious  salesmen. 

For  directors  Mr.  De  Mille  is  my  favorite 
though  his  undercurrents  go  over  many 
people's  heads.  Mr.  Craze  is  the  most  sensa- 
tional director.  King  Yidor  tried  to  make  an 
epic  of  the  "Big  Parade"  but  no  director  is 
big  enough  to  satisfv  the  spirit  on  that  subject.

in  this,  either  Friends  who  attended  this 
picture  with  me.  admitted  they  were  never  so 
bored  in  their  lives  Several  of  the  papers 
condemned  it  as  unfit  for  public  showing.  It 
impressed  me  as  being  the  most  vulgar  picture 

I  ever  attended. 

Please  don't  think  I'm  a  prim  person,  but 
1  cant  hand  "The  Merry  Widow"  a  thing

Sage  Advice 

Salem.  Mass 

After  seeing  Xorma  Talmadge  in  ".Grau- 
stark" — Hetty  Bronson  in  "A  Kiss  for  Cinder- 
ella" and  Sally  O'Neil  in  "Sally,  Irene  and 
Man"  is  it  any  wonder  that  any  imaginative 
young  person  wants  to  journey  to  Hollywood? 

They  don't  think  of  the  hard  work  climbing 
the  ladder  to  the  top.  they  only  picture  them- 
selves  as  the  gracious  heroine  moving  grace- 
fully through  the  picture  with  a  romantic  hero. 

Everyone  has  their  own  private  dream  and 
ideal  and  they  see  it  fulfilled  in  some  form  or 
other  on  the  screen.  Hut  unless  one  can  see 
through  the  picture  and  the  hard  work  that  it 
means,  to  take  part  in  it,  to  direct  and  produce 
it,  and  unless  one  has  the  ability  and  will 
power  to  stick  through  thick  and  thin,  one 
had  better  sit  in  the  comfortable  theater  and 
dream  dreams. 

Its  safer,  I  know,  because  I  have  just  felt 
like  buying  a  ticket  to  Hollywood  many  times, 
but  instead  I  have  developed  into  a  safe  and 
sane  fan.

Thank  You 

Brooklyn.  Xew  York. 
How  can  I  express  my  gratitude  to  Photo- 
play and  James  R.  Quirk  for  his  witty  and 
just  appraisal  of  reformers  in  the  March  issue 
of  that  magazine?  It  is  the  truest  and  most 
clear-sighted  piece  of  writing  I  have  read  in  a 
very  long  time.  In  a  few  terse,  sparkling 
paragraphs  he  has  laid  bare  the  canker  that 
threatens  the  liberty  and  happiness  of  the 
American  people  today — a  passion  for  reform 
on  the  part  of  self-seeking  individuals  too 
lazy  or  stupid  to  carve  out  careers  in  any 
other  pursuit  than  that  of  meddling,  which 
is  a  notoriously  profitable  business,  thanks  to 
the  complacent  attitude  of  the  public  they 
victimize. 

We  need  more  articles  like  that  of  Mr. 
Quirk  and  more  alert  publications  like  Photo- 
play to  awaken  Americans  to  their  danger 
and  save  for  them  a  little  personal  freedom 
before  it  is  too  late.

ARTIST  says 

The  small  picture  at  the  top  was  sub- 
mitted by  the  young  artist  spoken  of  below 
with  his  application  for  enrollment  as  a 
Federal  student.  Compare  it  with  the  sam- 
ple of  his  later  work  after  taking  the  Federal 
Course.  Then  read  what  he  says  of  Federal 
training. 

Read  What  This  Young  Artist  Says 

A  very  successful  artist  of  Grand  Rapids,  Mich, 
(name  on  request),  making  over  $5,000  a  year  says: 
"Allow  me  to  say  a  word  of  praise  about  the  work  of 
the  Federal  Schools.  As  a  former  student  I  have 
nothing  but  highest  praise  for  your  institution.  It 
was  through  your  efforts  I  received  the  fine  train- 
ing by  practical  men  that  gave  me  my  start  on  the 
road  to  success. 

"I  have  encouraged  many  beginners  to  take  Fed- 
eral training.  Not  one  of  them  but  what  is  thor- 
oughly satisfied.  They  have  the  highest  praise  for 
your  fine  course  and  practical  cooperation. 

"I  know  over  a  dozen  of  your  students  who  are 
now  successful  artists. 

"Federal  training  is  certainly  very  thorough  and 
practical." 

Federal  Course  Gets  Results 

Thorough  Federal  training  is  demanded  by  pub- 
lishers everywhere.  It  is  constantly  reflected  in  the 
pictures  they  buy  at  high  figures. 

The  Master  Course  In  Art 

The  Federal  Course  includes  illustrating,  cartoon- 
ing, lettering,  poster  designing,  window  card  illus- 
trating, et  cetera.  Each  division  written  by  a  spe- 
cialist. No  other  school  offers  such  an  array  of  talent 
for  your  artistic  instruction.

A  Su«-<lisli  Bouquel 

Stm  khobn,  Sweden. 

John  Barrymore's  acting  in  "Beau  Brum- 
nul"  was  the  most  artistic  the  si  run  bos  ever 
sfi-n.  He  is  a  head  taller  than  all  other  Ahut- 
it  an  actors. 

But  why  are  his  leading  ladies  black  haired 
doesn't  he  like  blondes?     But  then,  he  has 

never  seen   the  soulful   and   fascinating   blond 
ladies  for  which  Sweden  is  famous

W  «■  Wonder)  Too 

Middlesex,  England. 

With  such  a  ureal  percentage  of  American 
films  released  in  Britain,  I  am  wondering  why 
producers  do  not  study  English  manners  and 
people  to  a  greater  degree.  An  Englishman  is 
more  often  than  not  portrayed  as  a  chinless 
silly  ass  with  a  drooping  mustache  and,  of 
course,  a   monocle. 

Now,  in  Clive  Brook,  Ronald  Colman,  Reg- 
inald Denny,  Charles  Chaplin,  George  K 
Arthur  ami  Truest  Torrenee  you  have  seven 
Englishmen  that  give  a  pretty  comprehensive 
idea  of  our  men. 

I  onee  read  that  the  butler  of  a  certain  Eng- 
lish duke  was  in  l.os  Angeles  advising  one  com- 
pany on  things  British.  What  has  happened 
to  him?  ELSA  M.  AdahSON. 

We  ami  Gloria  Get  a  Briekbat 

Akron,  Ohio. 

I  was  amazed  to  find  "The  Coast  of  Folly" 
listed  among  your  si\  best  pictures  of  the  past 
month.  I  found  it  an  extremely  dull  picture, 
with  few  redeeming  features  and  some  per- 
fectly awful  acting  by  Gloria  Swanson  and  the 
rest  of  the  cast. 

Almost  in  the  same  class  is  Constance  Tal- 
madge's  "  Her  Sister  from  Paris."  That  was  a 
tawdry,  tinsel  affair  if  ever  there  was  one. 
Miss  Talmadge  has  done  much  better  in  the 
past. 

The  most  entertaining  picture  I  have  seen  in 
months  is  Ramon  Xovarro  in  "The  Midship- 
man." It  has  everything  that  goes  to  make 
perfect  entertainment.  L.  B. 


California's  Blue  Book 

Pascagoula,  Miss. 

I  just  read  in  the  paper  where  the  Southwest 
Blue  Book,  just  published,  excludes  the  names 
of  Doug  and  Mary  and  other  screen  celebrities. 
Where  would  Southern  California  be  if  it  were 
not  for  the  motion  picture  industry'  and  its 
people? 

The  paper  said  "  it  was  very'  difficult  for  them 
to  be  recognized  among  the  elite."  The  so- 
called  elite  had  better  wish  that  the  world 
recognized  them  as  wonderfully  as  they  do  the 
screen  celebrities.  I  would  not  be  afraid  to  bet 
a  million  that  the  Blue  Book  people  would 
exchange  places  with  the  film  people  any  day. 
Annie  Rltii  Jones. 

Knows  Her  Bible 

Poquono;k,  Conn. 

I  did  not  see  "The  Ten  Commandments" 
until  recently,  in  common  with  many  others 
who  did  not  care  to  pay  the  exorbitant  prices 
asked  at  the  first  showings.  I  was  greatly 
amused  at  the  chronological  errors.  Accord- 
ing to  the  Biblical  story,  Miriam,  sister  of 
Moses,  was  12  years  older  than  her  brother,, 
which  would  make  her  about  92  when  the 
exodus  out  of  Egypt  took  place.  But,  lo!  in  the 
picture,  while  Moses  was  beautifully  true  to 
character,  Miriam  was  very'  young  and  charm- 
ing, apparently  about  60  years  his  junior.  Per- 
haps she  had  a  series  of  face  liftings. 

The  policy  of  constructive  criticism  shown 
by  Photoplay  is  fine— it  is  the  only  film  maga- 
zine I  read.

YOUR  FAT! 


GIRLS!    THROW  AWAY 

Look  Your  Best  This 
Summer  on  the  Beach 

Start  Today— Simple,  Easy,  Harmless  Way 

TRY  IT  AT  OUR  EXPENSE! 

If  you  are  ashamed  of  your  figure,  especially  in  a  bathing  suit,  decide 
to  take  off  that  extra  fat  and  look  your  best  on  the  beach  this  summer. 
Why  don't  you  do  it?  I  did.  I  am  glad  to  be  able  to  explain  to  you 
how  to  go  about  it — I  am  not  going  to  tell  you  to  go  through  strenuous 
exercises  or  weakening  diets.  I  will  not  recommend  you  to  rub  your 
body  with  creams  or  take  dangerous  drugs.  I  am  giving  you  here  what 
I  consider  the  best  formula  made  up  to  easily  and  safely  take  off  fat.  I 
suffered  for  years  with  all  the  troubles  well  known  to  fat  people.  Time 
after  time  I  deprived  myself  from  all  pleasures,  turned  down  parties  and 
friends  to  avoid  their  dreaded  "Here  comes  fatly,"  until  one  day,  after 
I  had  tried  everything  known  to  reduce  and  failed.  I  hit  upon  SAN- 
GRI-NA,  with  which  I  made  myself  over.  It  is  simple,  easy  to  take 
and  will  only  cost  you  a  few  cents  a  day.  Once  you  have  attained  the 
desired  weight  you  should  not  have  to  keep  up  with  SAN-GRI-NA.  In 
my  case  and  many  others  excess  fat  has  been  banished  for  good." 
There  is  no  magic,  no  secret  about  SAN-GRI-NA,  your  own  physician 
can  approve.  (Should  there  be  any  doubt  in  his  mind  about  the  safety 
of  this  formula  we  will  gladly  mail  him  a  free  box  of  SAN-GRI-NA 
for  analysis  upon  his  request.)  No  reduction  over  night  but  a  steady, 
normal  loss  of  generally  from  3  to  4  pounds  a  week  should  be  attained, 
leaving  you  stronger  and  healthier  week  after  week.

Smoothest  Powder 
in  the  World 


An  artificial  cyclone  whirls  Mclb.i 
face  powder  into  fineness  like  mist. 
Such  tiny  particles  seem  really  to 
merge  into  the  most  delicate  skin. 
The  genteel  bloom  of"  Melba 
comes  as  from  within— the  effect 
is  irresistible— the  source  is  quite 
invisible.  Only  the  private  Mclba 
air-floating  process  creates  face 
powders  so  infinitely  smooth. 


m 


Other  exclusive  Mclba  methods 
give  all  the  other  Melba  prepa- 
rations distinctive  excellence. 
Each  Melba  aid  to  loveliness  as- 
sures tile  purity,  fragrance,  and 
benefits  which  have  won  the 
confidence  of  millions.  Because 
they  are  so  widely  appreciated,  the 
luxury  of  using  Melba  toiletries 
is  not  extravagant,  you  will  find.

hen  the  first 

glorious  day  of  golf  is  over— and  the 

final  putt  sinks  in  the  18th  cup— 

"when  the  tense  moments  end 

in  soft  mellow  twilight 

—have  a  Camel! 


No  other  cigarette  in  the  world  is  like  Camels.  Camels  contain  the 
choicest  Turkish  and  Domestic  tobaccos.  The  Camel  blend  is  the  tri- 
umph of  expert  blenders.  Even  the  Camel  cigarette  paper  is  the  finest — 
made  especially  in  France.  Into  this  one  brand  of  cigarettes  is  con- 
centrated the  experience  and  skill  of  the  largest  tobacco  organization 

in  the  world. 


WHEN  it's  glorious  evening 
on  the  greens.  And  the  last 
long  putt  drops  home  on  the 
18th  hole — have  a  Camel! 

For,  all  the  world  over, 
Camel  fragrance  and  taste 
add  joyous  zest  to  healthful 
hours  in  the  open.  Camels 
never  tire  your  taste,  or 
leave  a  cigaretty  after-taste, 
no  matter  how  liberally  you 
smoke  them.  This  is  the  in- 
side story  of  Camel  success 
— their  choice  tobaccos  and 
perfect  blending  make  them 
the  utmost  in  cigarettes. 

So,  this  fine  spring  day, 
when  your  first  glorious 
birdie  ends  its  breathless 
flight.  When  you  leave  the 
long  course  to  start  home, 
tired  and  joyous  —  taste 
then  the  smoke  that's  ad- 
mitted champion  among 
the  world's  experienced 
smokers.  Know,  then,  the 
mellowest  fragrance  that 
ever  came  from  a  cigarette. 

Hare  a  Camel!

Our  highest  nhh.  if  you 
do  not  yet  know  Camel 
quality,  is  that  you  try 
them.  Wc  invite  you  to 
compare  Camels  with 
any  other  cigarette  made 

at   any   price.

Sore  Muscles 


Pain 


You'll  think  they  are  magic  drops 


FOR  more  than  a  quarter  of 
a  century  Ahsorhine,  Jr.  has 
brought  relief.  Because  it  is  both 
an  effective  liniment  and  a  safe 
antiseptic  it  soothes  and  com- 
forts, it  helps  nature  heal  and 
guards  against  infection.  This  is 
the  reason  why  so  many  users  of 
Absorbine,  Jr.  call  it  "the  magic 
bottle." 

£,         A  A. 

Muscular  Pain — Sore  Muscles 
Absorbine,  Jr.  relieves  muscu- 
lar pain.  Those  who  surfer  from 
rheumatism  will  find  it  very 
beneficial.  It  eases  and  refreshes 
tired  muscles.  The  early  rounds 
of  golf ,  the  first  sets  of  tennis,  any 
form  of  exertion  in  the  Spring  is 
likely  to  tire  or  strain  jaded  win- 
ter muscles.  Apply  Absorbine  Jr. 
promptly  —  it  '  sets  you  up" 
again. 

Minor  Accidents — 

Children's  Hurts 

Cuts,  bruises  and  abrasions 
of  the  skin  are  usually  painful 
and  sometimes  dangerous,  if 
not    treated    in    time.     Apply 


Absorbine,  Jr.  promptly.  It  is 
healing  and  soothing,  and  its 
antiseptic  properties  prevent  in- 
fection. Keep  a  bottle  in  the  car. 
Later  you  will  find  it  wonder- 
fully efficient  for  sunburn  and 
insect  bites — promptly  relieving 
the  soreness  and  pain. 

As  a  Mouthwash 

and  for  Sore  Throat 

Absorbine,  Jr.  sweetens  and  re- 
freshes the  mouth,  and  prompt- 
ly destroys  the  germs.  The  daily 
use  of  a  few  drops  in  water  is  a 
pleasant  and  safe  habit.  For  sore 
throat  use  Absorbine,  Jr.  dilut- 
ed, as  a  gargle.  It  soothes  and 
heals  the  inflamed  tissue.  Also 
apply  it  full  strength  on  the  out- 
side, to  break  up  congestion. 

There  are  daily  uses  for 
Absorbine,  Jr.  at  home  and  a- 
broad.  You  should  have  a  bot- 
tle at  home,  in  the  office,  in  the 
car,  and  with  you  when  travel- 
ling. Absorbine,  Jr. is  concentrat- 
ed— apply  only  a  few  drops  at 
a  time.

One  health  problem,  outdoor  exercise 
can  never  solve 


ZMany  of  us  forget  that  our  gums,  like 
our  muscles,  need  work  and  stimulation 
to  keep  them  firm  and  healthy! 


EIGHTEEN  holes  on  a 
■*-'  "sporty"  course  — 
three  sets  of  fast  tennis— 
B  brisk  cross  country 
jaunt!  We  do  need  exer- 
cise and  we  glory  in  the 
Way  it  keeps  us  fit. 

But  our  gum  tissues  go  placidly  on, 
becoming  softer  and  more  tender  every 
day  through  lack  of  the  work  and 
stimulation  that  they,  too,  need  so 
much  to  keep  them  in  health. 

Modern  soft  food  gives  your  gums 

no  health-bringing  exercise 

Our  soft,  creamy  foods  are  delicious! 
But  they  are  utterly  lacking  in  the 
fibre  and  roughage  needed  as  a  condi- 
tioner of  the  gum  tissue. 

Perhaps  your  dentist  has  explained 
to  you  how  the  vigorous  chewing  of 
fibrous  food  once  kept  our  gums  in 
health;  how  modern  food,  and  hasty 
eating,  breaks  down  the  health  of  the 
gums;  and  how,  inconsequence,  "pink 
tooth  brush"  is  abroad  in  the  land— 
and  troubles  of  the  gums  are  becoming 
more  prevalent  every  day! 

How  Ipana  and  massage  help 

the  gums  to  health 

To  fight  this  lack  of  stimulation,  the 
dentists  are  turning  to  massage.  And 
thousands  of  them  are  recommending 

that  the  massage  be  done  with  Ipana,  —made  by  the  makers  of  Sal  Hepatica 


after  the  regular  cleaning 
with  Ipana  and  the  brush. 

Brush  the  gums  lightly, 
they  say,  inside  and  out. 
Thus  you  will  stir  up  the 
flagging  circulation  and 
bring  fresh  clean  blood  to 
heal  and  nourish  your 
gums  and  make  them  firm . 

Ipana  wi  11  exert  its  own 
healing  influence  because 
of  its  ziratol  content  —  ziratol  is  well 
known  to  dentists  and  for  years  has 
been  used  by  them  at  the  chair  as  a 
hemostatic  and  antiseptic. 

Even  though  your  tooth  brush  never 
"shows  pink"  you  will  find  Ipana  a 
delicious  dentifrice,  just  as  helpful  in 
keeping  healthy  mouths  in  condition

cThe  X-^Ray  qfthtjtiair 


This  machine  tests  a  small  strand  <>/  your 
hair.  It  gives  your  Permanent  Waveraavance 
{mis  thai  insure  Safety  and  Perfect  Results. 


[O  greater  step  forward  in  hair 
science  on  be  imagined  than 
the  NESTLE  METER  SCALE.  It  de- 
termines the  character  of  your  hair  in 
advance  of  your  permanent  wave — and 
eliminates  all  guesswork. 

Gone  is  the  possibility  of  individual 
error,  over-curling  or  under-curling. 
Gone  is  the  era  when  all  hair  was  put 
through  the  waving-machine  as 
though  all  hair  were  alike. 

Each  head  of  hair  is  now  waved  per- 
manently as  if  Nature,  herself,  had 
performed  the  duty. 

As  Revealing  as  the  X'Ray 

The  Nestle  Meter  Scale  discloses  an 
amazing  variety  of  hair  qualities.  It 
analyzes  the  individual  characteris- 
tics oiyoitr  hair — and  your  permanent 
wave  is  prescribed  in  advance  from 
the  Nestle  Laboratory  in  New  York. 


Nestle's  new  invention  takes  the 
guess  out  of  permanent  waving 


From  this  examination  and  "pre- 
scription," the  Nestle  Permanent 
Waver  in  your  own  community  will 
then  wave  your  hair  by  the 

Nestle  Circidine  Process 

The  Circidine  Process  of  Permanent  Wav- 
ing carries  out,  "to  the  letter,"  the 
readings  of  the  Nestle  Meter  Scale — so 
that  each  head  of  hair  is  waved  ac- 
cording to  its  individual  needs. 

To  have  a  perfect  permanent  wave  is 
a  reasonable  expectation.  With  Cir- 
culine you  will  not  be  disappointed 
no  matter  what  kind  of  hair  you  may 
have— whether  it  be  normal,  snow- 
white,  black,  blond,  bleached  or 
dved— whether  you  want  a  tight, 
medium  or  loose  wave.

Brief  Reviews  of  Current  Pictures 


AMERICAN  VENUS,  THE— Paramount.— We 
think  this  is  great  entertainment.  Esther  Ralston 
and  Lawrence  Gray  are  romantic  figures  against  a 
background  of  the  Atlantic  City  Beauty  Pageant — in 
color.      {March.) 

ANCIENT  HIGHWAY,  THE  —  Paramount.  — 
A  passable  story  of  the  timber  lands  with  Jack  Holt 
preventing  the  villain  from  jamming  the  heroine's 
shipment  of  logs.      (January.) 

ARIZONA  SWEEPSTAKES,  THE— Universal  — 
A  snappy  Hoot  Gibson  western  with  some  novelty 
and  good  comedy  situations.      (February.) 

AUCTION  BLOCK,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn  — 
Charles  Ray  is  the  man  about  town  in  this  picture. 
There  are  a  lot  of  laughs  throughout,  and  you'll  enjoy 
this.     (April.) 

BAT,  THE — United  Artists.— It's  thrilling  and  it's 
chilling.  Your  spine  will  quiver  and  your  hair  will 
stiffen  every  moment.     See  itl    (May.) 

BEAUTIFUL  CHEAT,  THE— Universal.— Very 
amusing  at  times,  but  nothing  to  get  real  excited 
about.  (April.) 

BEAUTIFUL  CITY,  THE— First  National.— The 
story  not  up  to  the  Barthelmess  standard.  Contains 
good  atmospheric  shots  of  New  York's  tenement 
district.     (January.) 

BEHIND  THE  FRONT— Paramount.— A  satire 
on  the  lives  of  the  buddies  "over  there."  Slapstick 
comedy  with  enough  kick  in  it  to  make  one  realize 
that  Sherman  spoke  the  truth.     (April.) 

BELOW  THE  LINE— Warner  Brothers.— A  splen- 
did story  with  Rin-Tin-Tin  as  thrilling  as  ever. 
(December.) 

BENHUR — Metro-Goldwyn. — The  undying  drama 
of  Christ  interwoven  with  the  story  of  Ben  Hur,  the 
young  Jew  who  aimed  to  serve  him.  Ramon  Novarro 
is  at  his  finest.  A  picture  everyone  should  see. 
(March.) 

BEST   BAD  MAN,  THE— Fox.— Unsuitable  for 

Tom  Mix.  A  flimsy  plot,  but  Clara  Bow  makes  it  en- 
durable.    (February.) 

BEST  PEOPLE,  THE— Paramount.— An  enter- 
taining story  of  a  son  and  daughter  of  the  hoipolloi 
who  insist  upon  marrying  a  chorus  girl  and  chauffeur, 
believing  that  love  is  the  only  thing.      (January.) 

BIG  PARADE,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn.— See  this 
if  you  have  to  pawn  your  siiirt.  One  of  the  finest 
pictures  ever  made.  A  thrilling  love  story  against  the 
World  War  background  with  John  Gilbert  and  Renee 
Adoree.      (January.) 

BLACK  PIRATE,  THE— United  Artists.— This 
will  prove  to  be  a  real  treat  lor  the  youngster,  and 

grownups  will  find  themselves  youthful  again  while 
enjoying  this  story  of  the  adventures  of  the  wicked 
pirates.     (May.) 

BLACKBIRD,  THE  —  Metro-Goldwyn.  —  Lon 
Chaney  is  at  his  best  in  this  picture.  He  wears  no 
make-up.     Don't  pass  it  up.     (April.) 

BLUE  BLAZES— Universal.— A  fair  Western  with 
I'.i,  Morrison  as  the  star.  The  usual  riding,  shoot- 
inn,  conflict  .mil  love.      (March.) 

BLUEBEARD'S  SEVEN  WIVES— First  National. 

I  I  the  gas  go  out  and  use  the  quarter  to  sec  this. 
You'd  never  believe  Ben  Lyon  could  be  so  funny, 
with  l.ois  Wilson  in  the  role  of  a  flapjack  Hipper  at 
Childs.     (.Feb.) 

BORDER  SHERIFF,  THE -Universal.— A  Wes- 
tern and  nothing  to  brag  about.  Jack  lloxie  is  the 
Btar,     I  Way.)

Rocque's  lirst  starring  picture,  and  a  good  one.  Thero-

played  by  Lillian  Rich.     (March.) 

BRIGHT   LIGHTS— M-G-M.— Charlie    Ray   as 

tli  country  bumpkin  again,  and  Pauline  Starke  a 
smart  chorus  gel.     Good  entertainment.     (February.) 


BROADWAY  BOOB,  THE  —  Associated  Ex- 
hibitors.— Glenn  Hunter  is  back  with  us  again  in 
another  of  his  famous  country  roles.     Fair.     (May.) 

BROADWAY  LADY,  THE— F.  B.  O— Pretty 
good  story  with  Evelyn  Brent  as  a  chorus  girl  with  a 
heart  of  gold  who  marries  into  society  and  is  inno- 
cently involved  in  a  murder.      (March.) 

BROKEN  HEARTS—  Jaffe  —  A  series  of  realistic 
east  side  scenes  strung  together  by  a  slender  plot. 
Lila  Lee  is  the  only  familiar  player  in  the  cast.   (May. ) 

BUSTIN'    THROUGH— Universal.— Jack    Hoxie 

riding  and  fighting  to  save  his  ranch  from  a  grasping 
land  company.     A  good  Western.      (December.) 

CALGARY  STAMPEDE,  THE— Universal.— The 

best  Western  in  many  a  day,  with  Hoot  Gibson.  Dif- 
ferent. Some  remarkable  riding  stunts  that  will  thrill 
you.     (December.) 

CASEY   OF   THE   COAST   GUARD— Pathe  — 

The  usual  serial  stuff,  with  lots  of  action.     (April.) 

CAVE  MAN,  THE— Warner  Bros.— Another  silly 

vehicle  featuring  Matt  Moore  and  Marie  Prevost. 
Not  the  fault  of  members  of  the  cast,  but  in  the 
ridiculous  story.     (April.) 


AS  a  special  service  to  its  readers, 
Photoplay  Magazine  inaugu- 
rated this  department  of  tab- 
loid reviews,  presenting  in  brief  form 
critical  comments  upon  all  photoplays 
of  the  preceding  six  months. 

Photoplay  readers  find  this  depart- 
ment of  tremendous  help — for  it  is  an 
authoritative  and  accurate  summary, 
told  in  a  few  words,  of  all  current  film 
dramas. 

Photoplay  has  always  been  first 
and  foremost  in  its  film  reviews. 
However,  the  fact  that  most  photo- 
plays do  not  reach  the  great  majority 
of  the  country's  screen  theaters  until 
months  later,  has  been  a  manifest 
drawback.  This  department  over- 
comes this — and  shows  you  accurately 
and  concisely  how  to  save  your  mo- 
tion picture  time  and  money. 

You  can  determine  at  a  glance 
whether  or  not  your  promised  eve- 
ning's entertainment  is  worth  while. 
The  month  at  the  end  of  each  tabloid 
indicates  the  issue  of  Photoplay  in 
which  the  original  review  appeared. 


CIRCLE,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn.— A  weak  tea 
society  drama.  It  is  neither  interesting  nor  real. 
(December.) 

CLASH  OF  THE  WOLVES,  THE— Warner 
Brothers. — Rin-Tin-Tin  makes  another  big  hit.  this 
time  in  a  beard.     A  good  story.      (January.) 

CLASSIFIED — First  National.— Don't  miss  this 
one.  Corinne  Griffith,  "the  screen's  most  beautiful," 
proves  she  can  act.  in  this  unusually  entertaining 
comedy-drama  of  a  New  York  working  girl.  (January.) 

CLOTHES  MAKE  THE  PIRATE— First  Nation- 
al.— Leon  Errol  of  the  collapsible  knees,  and  Dorothy 
Gish  as  his  shrewish  wile  make  this  a  fairly  amusing 

comedy-drama.    (February.) 


COBRA — Paramount. — Disappointing  to  Valen- 
tino fans.  Rudy  is  not  rightly  cast  in  this  and  N'ita 
Naldi  is  entirely  unbelievable.     (February.) 

COHENS  AND  THE  KELLVS.  THE— Universal. 
—  New  York  went  wild  over  tin-  and  so  will 
other  town.    See  it  and  how ' 

COMBAT — Universal. — He  who  likes  a  lively 
romping  tale  crammed  with  action  will  like  this.  The 
\oungsters  enjoy  it.     (April.) 

COMPROMISE— Warner  Brothers.— A  good  cast, 
Irene  Rich,  Pauline  Garon  and  Clive  Brook,  in  an 
inadequate  story.    Fairly  entertaining.     (January.) 

COUNSEL  FOR  THE  DEFENSE— Asso.  Ex.— 
Good  acting  of  Betty  Compson  as  a  modern  Portia 
make  this  a  passable  movie.      (March.) 

COUNT  OF  LUXEMBURG.  THE— Chadwick.— 
George  Walsh,  as  a  penniless  count  in  the  artists'  col- 
ony of  Paris,  marries  a  beautiful  actress  without 
ing  her.    Fairly  entertaining.     (February.) 

COWBOY  AND  THE  COUNTESS.  THE— F  -x. 

— One  finds  no  amusing  tricks  of  style  to  divert  this 
from  the  commonplace.     And  such  an  absurd 
(April.) 

COWBOY  MUSKETEER.  THE— F.  B.  O— Tom 
Tyler  looks  fine  and  rides  well  in  this  Wester-.,  which 
is  presented  with  snap  and  clearness.     (Februcry. 

DANCE  MADNESS— Metro-Goldwyn.— Nothing 
new  in  the  plot,  but  it  establishes  Conrad  Naeel  as  i 
splendid  comedian.  It's  too  sexv  for  the  children. 
(April.) 

DANCER   OF   PARIS.    THE— First   National- 
Written   by   Michael  Arlen  and  as  you   might   have 
suspected  there  is  plenty  of  ja'Z.  bachelor  ape.:: 
parties.  love  scenes  and  nudity.     Not  the  least  bit 
impressive.      (May.) 

DANCING  MOTHERS— Paramount.— Story  of  a 
wife  who  would  a-flapperir.g  go.     Result,  a  lot 
of  complications.    Clara  Bow's  performance  is  beauti- 
fully handled.    Alice  Joyce  and  Conway  Tearle  are  in 
.1  pril.) 

DANGER  GIRL.  THE— Producers  Distributing. 
— PrisciUa  Dean  as  a  clever  secret  service  lady  in  a 
gi  lod  mystery  yarn.  She  has  able  support  from  John 
Bowers.  Cissy  Fitzgerald  and  Arthur  Ho:  I 

DESERT'S  PRICE.  THE— Fox— Buck  Jones  is 
always  interesting,  although  this  film  play  has  not 
much  originality.     Plenty  of  good  fights. 

DESPERATE  GAME.  THE— Universal.— A  mild- 
ly ainusing  Western  of   a   college  cowboy.      (Feb.) 

DEVIL'S  CIRCUS,  THE— Metro-Goldwyn. 

interesting    vehicle    with    !ot~  ;  -    stuff. 

Hokum  reigns  throu  rma  Shearer  and  Charles 

Mack  head  the  cast.     (May.) 

DON'T — Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer. — The  title  tells

a  bandit  and  a  French  tutor.  Pretty  good  Valentino 
fare.      Yilma    Hanky   is  lovely.      (January.) 

FAST  LYNNF— Fox.— This  decayed  old  melo-

ENCHANTED    HILL.    THE— Paramount.— The

LETTERS  FROM  READERS 


$25.00  Letter 

New  York  City 

I  now  take  off  my  last  season's  black  velour 
hat  and  place  it  gravely  on  the  head  of  Lillian 
Gish  for  her  courage  in  putting  in  her  cast  of 
"La  Boheme"  both  John  Gilbert  and  Renee 
Adoree.  I  can't  help  wondering  if  she  saw 
"The  Big  Parade"  before  taking  this  well-nigh 
fatal  step.  If  "La  Boheme"  is  good,  I  suspect 
two  reasons,  neither  of  which  is  Miss  Gish. 

The  thought  of  her  talents,  pitted  against  the 
fiery  truth  of  Mr.  Gilbert's  acting,  and  the 
warmth  of  Miss  Adoree's,  fills  me  with  awe. 

If,  in  "La  Boheme,"  I  find  that  Miss  Gish 
flaps  her  hands,  or  rubs  inanimate  objects 
against  her  face,  or  runs  about  in  circles,  or 
twists  her  feet,  or  shows  her  molars  to  express 
emotion,  if  she  does  all  that  or  part  of  that,  I 
shall  rise  with  dignity,  and,  extracting  two 
Good  Behavior  medals  from  my  bag,  pin  them 
on  the  pictured  chests  of  Mr.  Gilbert  and  Miss 
Adoree  for  not  cracking  under  the  strain. 

And  if  it  be  true,  Oh,  if  it  CAN  be  true,  that 
there  is  a  scene  where  Mr.  Gilbert  kisses  Miss 
Gish  through  a  window  pane,  then  I  shall 
simply  lean  back  and  give  way  in  every  pore! 

I.  D.  M. 
[Editor's  Note:    This  lot  tor  was  sent  to  Brickbats 
and  Bouquets  before  "La  Boheme"  wasreleased.   Our

South  Portland.  Me. 

Just  four  years  ago  I  ventured  a  prophecy. 
Today  I'm  going  to  take  a  chance  on  another. 

On  March  14,  192 2,  I  went  to  see  "The 
Count  of  Monte  Cristo."  I  had  not  heard 
anything  about  it  and  was  not  especially 
anxious  to  see  it.  Then  the  most  marvelous 
actor  made  his  appearance.  Consulting  my 
program,  I  road  "John  Gilbert."  1  became 
almost  maudlin  over  him  during  the  perform- 
ance; he  seemed  to  me  the  most  finished  actor 
I  had  ever  seen,  as  well  as  the  handsomest. 

Afterward,  I  talked  about  him  to  everyone 
I  met,  but  no  one  had  seen  the  picture  and  no 
one  was  at  all  interested  in  John  ( rilbert.  Thus 
for  two  years.  Now,  most  everybody  admits 
he[has  do  superior. 

Proud  of  this,  1  am  now  about  to  announce 

another  prophecy.  One  day  I  went  to  see 
"the  Torrent,"  in  which  was  a  wonderful  per- 
son called  "Greta  Garbo."  1  wish  I  had 
thousands  of  dollars  to  invest  in  futures'.  I'd 
put  ii  all  on  her.  she  has  e\ erything  the  Ot her-. 
have,  and  more — piquancy  and  sprighllincss. 
Keep  your  eye  on  her,  picture  fans,  and  see  if 
she  doesn't  fulfil]  my  prophecy  and  become  the 
best  known,  most  capable  actress  in  pictures. 
Mrs.  I..  E.  SANBORN.

The  latest  volcanic  eruption  is  in  one  of  the 
weekly  magazines,  with  William  Allen  White  as 
chief  spouter. 

There  is  a  bit  of  truth  in  what  Mr.  White 
says.  Likewise,  there  is  much  that  is  not  true 
in  his  many  sweeping  statements. 

He  avers  that  the  only  persons  satisfied  with 
the  movies  are  those  who  make  them  anil  those 
who  go  to  them  all  the  time.  I  cannot  agree. 
The  movies  are  our  chief  national  pastime. 
Almost  everyone  is  interested  in  them,  some 
more  than  others.  In  this  great  audience  are 
thousands  who  are  not  morons,  who  do  not 
consi  ler  the  movies  a  mess  or  a  menace,  nor 
the  quintessence  of  perfection.  They  simply 
realize  that  from  such  a  gigantic  industry  must 
come  a  proportionate  out  cm .  Where  there  is 
so  much  wheat  there  must  be  chaff. 

The  speaking  stage  does  not  put  out  any  too 
many  "sure  lire"  hits,  artistic  or  otherwise. 
Why,  then,  expect  so  much  of  the  movies? 
At  present  we  have  "Stella  Dallas,"  "The  Big 
Parade"  anil  "The  Merry  Widow"  to  be 
thankful  for.  and  proud  of;  several  good  come- 
dies and  many  educational  films,  which  audi- 
ences always  enjoy,  despite  their  being  called 
a  senseless  aggregation  by  Mr.  White.  I  am 
not  a  dyed-in-the-wool  movie  fan.  neither  am 


I  a  moron,  but  I  make  no  apologies  to  Mr. 
White  or  anyone  else  for  the  films.  They  arc 
doing  quite  well,  thank  you! 

E.  A.  Squire. 

How  [Many  Agree? 

St.  Louis.  Mo. 

We  fans  are  always  on  the  lookout  for  the 
most  beautiful  and  greatest  actress  on  the 
screen.  We  have  found  the  most  beautiful — 
Mary  Pickford.  The  greatest  of  them  all  we 
have  not  yet  found  because  not  one  among  our 
popular  stars  of  today  has  proven  she  can  claim 
the  title.  I  don't  mean  that  we  haven't  had 
great  performances,  because  we  have. 

Mary  Pickford  and  Norma  Talmadge  are 
among  the  most  illustrious,  but  if  Gloria 
Swanson  makes  one  or  two  more  "Humming 
Birds"  and  "Zazas."  she  will  be  crowned  queen 
of  them  all  because  of  her  versatile  ability,  the 
ability  to  elegantly  play  a  great  lady  one  day 
and  frolic  away  the  next  with  the  role  of  a 
clown.     That  is  art. 

If  Man-  Pickford  would  depict  a  gold  digger 
and  a  jazz  baby  as  well  as  she  does  her  sweet 
child  roles,  she  would  prove  to  be  the  greatest. 
Doing  the  same  thing  over  and  over  again  is 
not  art.  Versatile  performances  denote  the 
real  artist.  No  one  has  up  to  date  proven  she 
can  act  any  sort  of  a  role  and  make  a  success 
of  it . 

Man-  Pickford  and  Gloria  are  our  best  bets. 

Gloria — if  she  keeps  up;  and  Mary — if  she 
wakes  up.

I  gain  my  impressions  as  to  the  worthwhile- 
ness  of  a  film  through  a  perusal  of  the  film  re- 
views in  dailies  or  PHOTOPLAY.  If  this  sounds 
interesting  I  go  to  see  it.  taking  with  me  my 
eight  year  old  daughter,  whether  the  picture 
selected  be  strictly  a  child  film  or  not.  Lor  I 
don't  believe  any  good  picture,  if  explained  and 
interpreted  as  I  always  do,  "ill  harm  any  nor- 
mal child.  1  try  to  give  her  a  sensible,  matter- 
of-fact,  optimistic  viewpoint  on  anything 
brought  up  in  a  picture,  tucking  in  little  lessons 
which  it  leaches  and  which  she  would  resent  in 
any  other  form.  This.  I  think,  will  make  her 
ready  to  meet  life  as  it  really  is.  rather  than 
allowing  her  to  grow  up  in  a  fairy  world  pre- 
tending there  is  no  evil  to  be  rudely  awakened. 
maybe,  much  later  when  my  opinions  and  in- 
fluence have  less  weight  with  her.

How  a  Discovery  That 

Stunned  Me 

Brought  Me  a  Ravishing  Complexion 

The  story  of  a  girl  with  an  unattractive  skin  who  almost  lost 
her  sweetheart,  but  suddenly  became  radiant  and  beautiful 


IT  was  the  night  of  the  big  party,  and  my 
cousin  Marian  and  I  were  upstairs  taking 
a  list  hasty  peek  in  the  mirror.  "Hurry!" 
.Marian  whispered.  "The  guests  are  be- 
ginning to  arrive." 

"Do  I  look  all  right?" 

"Your  new  dress  is  adorable.  I'm  sure 
Jim  will  propose  to  you  tonight." 

"Why,  Marian!  He  won't  do  anything  of 
the  sort!  You  know  he  just  likes  me — a 
little." 

She  laughed  at  my  confusion,  and  I  felt 
myself  blushing.  She  had  guessed  what  was 
in  my  heart  and  mind.  Jim  had  been  so 
sweet  to  me  these  last  few  weeks.  We  had 
gone  to  the  theatre  together  and  to  dances — 
and  I  began  to  feel  that  he  cared  for  me  as  I 
cued  for  him.  Tonight,  perhaps,  I  would 
know.  Tonight  he  might  tell  me  what  I  was 
aching  to  hear. 

"Jim's  in  the  library,"  Marian  said. 
"Let's  surprise  him." 

We  tiptoed  downstairs.  Cautiously  we 
peered  into  the  library — and  my  heart  stood 
still!  There,  in  the  shadowed  privacy  oi 
that  room,  Jim  was  embracing  Peggy  Lang! 

I  turned  quickly  and  dashed  upstairs. 
Marian  followed  me. 

"Now,  look  here!"  she  said.  "You 
mustn't  let  this  upset  you.  You  know  that 
Peggy  is  just  a  silly  little  vamp — and  no 
doubt  she  flirted  with  Jim  as  she  tlirts  with 
everyone." 

I  was  utterly  wretched,  and  I  couldn't 
hold  back  the  tears  that  came  flooding  to 
my  eyes.  Marian  took  my  hand  in  hers. 
"Let  this  be  a  warning,  dear,"  she  said.  "  I 
know  Jim  likes  you,  but  you'll  lose  him 
unless  you  try  harder  to  keep  him." 

"I've  lost  him  already!"  I  cried  bitterly. 


"No,  you  haven't,"  she  answered.  "And 
you  will  never  lose  him  if — it    ..." 

"If  what?"  I  demanded. 

"It's  not  easy  to  say,  but  1  mean  if  you 
make  yourself  look  more  dainty  and  attrac- 
tive. Your  complexion  is  not — well,  whole- 
some-looking. How  can  you  expect  to 
compete  with  pretty  girls  like  Peggy  Lang 
when  you  let  your  complexion  get  so — un- 
sightly?" 

I  felt  humiliated.  Hut  she  was  right,  of 
course.  I  knew  only  too  well  how  unat- 
tractive my  skin  was.  Not  only  was  it 
coarse  and  blemished,  but  tiny  crow's  feet 
were  beginning  to  show  around  the  eyes — 
the  skin  was  oik — the  pores  enlarged.  I 
turned  to  her  helplessly. 

"What  can  I  do?  I've  spent  a  fortune  on 
creams  and  lotions  and  massages.  Nothing 
seems  to  help.  You  once  had  a  poor  com- 
plexion, Marian.  What  did  you  do  to  get 
your  skin  so  clear  and  smooth?" 

Marian  told  me;  and  I  listened  in  amaze- 
ment. Like  a  pair  of  conspirators,  we 
planned  to  try  her  secret  on  my  complexion ; 
and  with  a  much  lighter  heart  I  went  down 
again  to  join  the  party. 


Two  weeks  later  Peggy  Rave  a  party  at  her  h 
I  went  with  a  singing  heart  and  a  joyous  new  con- 
fidence in  myself.  My  mirror  told  me  that  I  now  had 
a  clear,  beautiful,  unblemished  complexion — that  1 
looked  younger,  fresher,  prettier.  All  the  blemishes 
were  gone,  the  crow's  feet  had  vanished,  the  texture 
-kin  was  soft  and  smooth  and  firm.  Marian's 
had  actually  given  me  a  new  complexion  i 
old.  and  I  was  no  longer  afraid  of  Peggy  or  any  one! 

1  shall  never  forget  how  astonished  Jim  was  when 
he  saw  me.    "  You  look  wonderful!  "  he  whisper 
soon  as  we  were  alone.     "  I  never  realized  before  how- 
beautiful  \ou  are! " 

But    I'm   not   beautiful,  of  course.      It's   just   my 
beautiful  new  complexion  that  makes  Jim  think  so! 
: .  fresh,  attractive  skin  make-  even  the  plainest 
girl  look  pretty.

BLANCHE  MEHAFKEY 


JUNE  MARLOWE 


Youth  and  Beauty 

♦ 

Universal  is  always  on  the  look- 
out for  new  talent,  new  faces  and  new 
beauty  for  its  pictures,  and  among  t  lit-  recenl 

discoveries  is  a  quartette  of  young  people 
who  are  rich  in  promise  and  who  will  be 
given  every  possible  chance  to  develop. 

BLANCHE  MEHAFFEY,  piquant 
and  charming,  who  won  her  first  laurels 
in  "His  People,"  will  soon   be  seen  in  the 
leading  role  of  "  The  Runaway  Express," 
a   spectacular    railway   drama   based    on    the 
story  by  Frank  Spearman. 

JUNE  MARLOWE  will  attract 
much  attention  not  alone  by  her  pure 
type  of  American  beauty,  but  also  by  her 
acting  in  "  The  Old  Soak,"  from  the  famous 
play  by  Don  Marquis. 

RAYMOND  KEANE,    who   won 

golden  comments  as  the  young  lieuten- 
ant in  Universal's  great  spectacle  of  the  Rus- 
sian    Imperial     Court,     "  The    Midnight    Sun,"     will     appear    in 

Richard  Barry's  big  naval  drama,    "The 

Big  Gun." 

GEORGE  LEWIS,  who  jumped 
into  prominence  in  a  day  in  "  His  Peo- 
ple," will  play  one  of  the  leading  roles  in 
"  The  Old  Soak."  I  confidently  predict 
brilliant  futures  for  these  young  people  and 
am  glad  to  be  the  one  to  give  them  their  first 
big  opportunity.      Keep  your  eye  on  them. 

"The   Flaming   Frontier"    is 

a  "hit — a  palpable  hit"  as  demonstrated 
Raymond  keane  by    the    tremenclous    crowds    at    the    Colony 

Theatre  on  Broadway,  New  York.  It  is 
American  in  every  sense  and  brings  back  to 
mind  and  eye  that  gallant  hero,  Gen.  George 
Custer,  and  his  courageous  men. 

Be  sure  to  see  REGINALD 
DENNYin  hiscomedyhits,"5&i*nrt  er's 
Dress  Suit"  and  "What  Happened  to 
Jones."  Watch  for  HOUSE  PETERS  in 
"Combat,"  a  spectacular  drama  of  the 
North  woods.  And  write  me  your  opinion  of 
all  of  these,  please.

PROUD  HEART  ftitle  chanced  from  HIS 
PEOPLE) — Universal. — One  of  the  finest  picture*  of 
Jewish  emigrant  life  we've  seen.  Schildkraut,  pare, 
contributes  a  great  performance.     (December.) 

QUEEN  O'  DIAMONDS— F.  B.  O  —  There's  not 
much  to  recommend  in  this  picture,  but  we  think 
you'll  live  through  it.     (April.) 

RECKLESS  LADY,  THE— Fir-t  National  — 
Another  mother  love  theme,  with  Belle  Bennett  and 
Lois  Moran.    Good  entertainment.    (April.) 

RED  KIMONO,  THE— Vital.— Avoid  this  picture. 
It  is  a  very  stupid  version  of  a  good  story  by  Adela 
Rogi  n  St.  Johns,  and  not  worth  anybody's  time. 
(March.) 

RIDIN'  THE  WIND— F.  B.  O—  Fred  Thomson 
disappoints.  He  rescues  his  brother  from  bandits,  re- 
turns the  stolen  money  and  wins  the  girl.    (December.) 

ROAD  TO  YESTERDAY,  THE— Producers  Dist. 
— Catch  this  picture  for  the  gorgeous  train  wreck. 
The  story  is  a  little  muddled  but  fairly  entertaining 
due  to  the  reincarnation  theme.      (January.) 

ROCKING  MOON— Producers  Distributing.— A 
good  story  with  a  new  and  interesting  background — 
an  island  in  Alaskan  waters.  Laska  Winter  is  the 
outstanding  member  of  the  cast.     (April.) 

ROSE  OF  THE  WORLD— Warners— Sincere  per- 
formances by  a  good  cast,  but  an  unconvincing  story. 
Not  very  worthwhile.      (January.) 

SALLY,  IRENE  AND  MARY— M-G-M.—  An  ex- 
tremely interesting  story  of  chorus  girl  life,  with  a 
splendid  cast  and  a  goodly  sprinkling  of  laughs  and 
tears.     Sally  O'Neil  is  a  knockout!     (February.) 

SATAN  IN  SABLES— Warner  Brothers.— Lowell 

Sherman  is  a  bad  Russian  grand  duke.    Pauline  Garon 
is    a    little    rose    from    Montmartre.     (December.) 

SCANDAL  STREET— Arrow. — An  interesting 
picture  because  of  movie  studio  atmosphere.  Story 
of  a  movie  actress  and  her  husband  who  are  both 
starred  at  the  same  studio.     (January.) 

SCARLET  SAINT,  THE— First  National.— A 
very  dull  story  and  inexcusably  sexy.     (February.) 

SCRAPPIN'  KID,  THE— Universal— A  conven- 
tional Western  with  Art  Acord.     Fair.     (February.) 

SEA  BEAST,  THE— Warner  Brothers.  The  ex- 
quisite Dolores  Costello  overshadows  John  Barry- 
more  and  the  thrilling  tale  of  Moby  Dick,  the  white 
whale.  Almost  unbelievable,  we  know.  See  for 
yourself.      (March.) 

SEA  HORSES— Paramount.— Fair  stuff  because 
of  tin-  presence  of  Florence  Vidor  in  the  cast.  Not  as 
snappy  as  the  usual  Allan  Dwan  production.     (May.) 

SEA  WOLF,  THE— Ralph  Ince  Prod.---A  well- 
made  picture  of  Jack  London's  famous  novel.    (Feb.) 

SET  UP,  THE— Universal.— Art  Acord  does  some 
hard  riding  and  shooting.  And  that's  about  all  except 
that  he  marries  the  girl  in  the  end.     (May.) 

SEVEN  KEYS  TO  BALDPATE— Paramount.— 
Leave  the  dishes  in  the  sink.  If  you  miss  the  hrst  of 
this,  you're  lost.  A  corking  comedy-melodrama  with 
Douglas  MacLean  and  Edith  Roberts.     (January.) 

SEVEN  SINNERS— Warner  Bros.— A  hilarious 
crook  story  with  Marie  Prevost  and  Clive  Brook 
heading  a  good  cast.    (February.) 

SHADOW  OF  THE  LAW— Associated  Exhibitors. 

— Some  more  crooks  in  an  old.  old  story.     Clara  Bow 
is  the  only  attraction.     (May.) 

SHIP  OF  SOULS.  THE— Asso.  Ex.— Lillian  Rich 
and  Bert  Lvtell  in  a  story  oi  the  north  where  men  arc 
driven  mad  bv  the  silence  and  solitude.  Only  fair. 
(March.) 

SIMON  THE  JESTER— Producers  Dist— A 
hodge-podge  storv  about  a  clown  with  a  broken  heart. 
played    uninterestingly    by    Eugene    O'Brien.      (Feb.) 

SIX    SHOOT1V    ROMANCE.    A— Universal.— 

Another  conventional  Western  with  Jack  llexic  win- 
ning an  unwilling  bride.     (March.) 

SKINNER'S    DRESS    SUIT— Universal.— Regi- 

n.iM  Denny  and  Lam  i  La  Plante  screamingly  funny 
tr>  inc.  to  teach  some  society  lolk  th(  Charleston,  (Ft  .) 

SKYROCKET,  THE— Associated  Exhibitors  - 
The  best  picture  about  motion  picture  people  so 
far,  and  Peggy  Hopkins  Joyce's  debut  on  the  screen. 
Adapted  from  Adda  Rogers  St.  Johns'  novel  of  the 
same  name.    (January.) 

SMILIN"  AT  TROUBLE— F.  B.  O.— A  nifty  pic- 
ture with  Lefty  Flynn  as  a  civil  engineer  working  on 
the  construction  of  a  dam.      (February.) 

SOME  PUNKINS— Chadwick.— Charles  Ray  in 
hie  old  hick  role  is  fairly  amusing.     (February.) 

Every  advertisement  In  PHOTOPLAY  MAGAZINE  is  guarante 


SON  OF  HIS  FATHER.  A— Paramount.— One  of 
the  dullest  pictures  on  record,  from  a  Harold  Bell 
Wright  story.      (December.) 

SONG  AND  DANCE  MAN.  THE— Paramount.— 
Tom  Moore  and  Bessie  Love  in  an  interesting  story  of 
back  stage  life.  Bessie  does  the  Charleston  again. 
(March.) 

SOULMATES— Mctro-Goldwyn.—  A  highly  un- 
convincing romance  between  an  English  lord  and  a 
plebeian  lady.  Aileen  Pringle  and  Edmund  Lowe 
play  unsuitable  roles.     Not  worth  while.     (March.) 

SPLENDID  CRIME,  THE— Paramount— A  com- 
monplace crock  drama,  without  humor  to  lighten  it. 
(February.) 

SPLENDID  ROAD.  THE— First  National.— A 
colorful  drama  of  the  Gold  Rush  of  '49  with  Anna  Q. 
Nilsson  giving  a  fine  performance.     (February.) 

STAGESTRUCK  —  Paramount.  —  A  rip-snortin" 
comedy  with  Gloria  Swanson  juggling  cup?  in  a  cheap 
restaurant  and  taking  correspondence  lessons  in  act- 
ing.  Lawrence  Gray  is  great  as  her  boy  friend.    (Feb.) 

STEEL  PREFERRED— Warner  Bros.— William 
Boyd  stands  out  in  this  fairly  entertaining  comedy- 
drama  of  strong  men  and  steel.     (February.) 

STELLA  DALLAS— United  Artists.— An  almost 
perfect  picture,  with  one  of  the  greatest  performances 
ever  given  to  the  screen — that  of  Belle  Bennett  in  the 
title  role.     (December.) 

STELLA  MARIS— Universal.— Mary  Philbin  in  a 
dual  role;  that  of  a  deformed  slavey  and  a  beautiful 
cripple  girl.    A  lovely  story.    Do  not  miss  it.  (March.) 

STEPPIV  OUT— Columbia.— A  brisk  comedy 
with  Ford  Sterling  as  an  errant  husband.  (February.) 

STILL  ALARM,  THE— Universal.— Has  all  the 
ingredients  of  an  entertaining  picture.  Drudging 
wife  leaves  her  husband  and  elopes  with  charming 
villain.     (March.) 

STOP,  LOOK  AND  LISTEN— Pathe— A  good 
Larry  Semon  comedy  taken  from  the  stage  play,  full 
of  the  Semon  gags  that  youngsters  enjoy.     (.'.: 

SWEET  ADELINE— Chadwick.— Charles  Ray. 
the  country'  boy.  goes  to  New  York  and  makes  a  hit 
singing  "Sweet  Adeline"  in  a  cabaret.  Full  of  de- 
licious bits  of  humor.     Mighty  good.     (March.) 

TESSIE— Arrow.— This  would  have  been  utterly 
impossible  if  it  were  not  for  the  wise-cracking  sub- 
titles.  May  McAvoy  is  out  of  her  class  in  this.   (May.) 

THANK  YOU— Fox. — The  performance  of  Alec 
Francis  as  a  small  town  minister  is  the  only  redeeming 
feature  of  this  film.    (December.) 

THAT    ROYLE    GIRL  —  Paramount.  —  Carol 
Dempster  will  surprise  you  in  this.    It'sapcpp 
of  a   misguided   youngster  in  the  cabaret   world   of 
Chicago.    Something  entirely  new  from  D.  W.  Grif- 
fith.    See  it.     (March.) 

THREE  FACES  EAST— Producers  Dist.— Drop 
everything  and  see  this  corking  mystery  play  oi  the 
English  and  German  secret  service  activitu  s  <  ring 
the  war.     Jetta  Goudal  is  wonderful  in  it.     (il 

THREE  PALS — Davis  Dist. — An  uninteresting 
story,  badly  played  and  badly  directed.     (January.) 

THREE  WISE  CROOKS— F.  B.  O.— Pretty  bad. 
Evelyn  Brent  tries  to  rescue  the  picture  from  m 
rity  by  some  good  acting,  but  to  no  avail.   (December.) 

THUNDER  MOUNTAIN— Fox.— The  old  feud 
story,  refreshingly  told,  with  fine  humor.     (December.) 

TIME,  THE  COMEDIAN— M-G-M.— Worth  see- 
ing lot  the  good  performances  of  Mae  Busch  and  Lew 
Cody.     (February.) 

TONIO.  SON  OF  THE  SIERRAS— Davis  Dist.— 
A  pretty  good  story"  of  the  by-gone  West.     (Feb.) 

TOO  MUCH  MONEY— First  National— Lewis 
Stone  in  slapstick  comedy — can  yon  imagine  it?  But 
he  actually  puts  it  over.  Rich  man  pretends  he's  poor 
so  wife  will  come  down  to  earth  and  be  human. 
Good.      (March.) 

TORRENT.THE— Metro-Goldwyn. — Introducing 

the  charming  new  Swedish  importation.  Greta  Garbo 
-and  she's  the  kind  of  a  girl  the  men  won't  I 
A  vivid  delight  for  grownups.     (May.) 

TRAFFIC  COP.  THE— F.  B.  O.— Only  the  ad- 
mirers oi  Lefty  Flynn  will  enjoy  this.  And  the 
youngsters,  too.     (April.) 

TRAMP.  TRAMP.  TRAMP— First  National— 
The   tii-t    feature   length   comely   featuring    Harry 

Langdon — and  the  boy's  good.    Worthwhile.    (May.) 

TRIPLE   ACTION— Universal. — Rightly  named; 
enough   action   for   three   Westerns.      Rides,   flights, 
parachute  jumps  by  a  sheriff.     (January.)

Where  Vr<*  Renee's  Fans? 

Pasadena,  Calif. 

In  all  the  recent  letters  1  have  read  in  your 
department  I  haven't  heard  Renee  Adoree 
mentioned  once,  which  to  me  seems  a  grave 
oversight.  I  have  never  seen  any  actress  with 
the  unique  ability  to  make  you  laugh  at  her 
and  yet  feel  an  undercurrent  of  the  deepest 
sympathy  with  which  to  temper  your  humor. 
at  the  very  same  time. 

When  "The  Big  Parade"  lias  been  released 
to  all  of  the  fans.  I  am  sure  others'  opinions  will 
agree  with  mine. 

May  I  add  that  the  casting  of  "The  Big 
Parade"  was  superb,  and  that  it  is  the  best 
(though  that  word  doesrft  begin  to  describe  it") 
picture  I  have  ever  seen.    Helen  Tiffany. 

Applesauce  and  Indigestion 

Charleston.  W.  Va. 

Here's  a  complaint  that  has  been  stirring  in 
me  for  a  year. 

Why  do  all  the  critics  fall  all  over  themselves 
in  maintaining  that  Charles  Chaplin  is  the 
intellectual  and  tragic  genius  of  the  screen? 
They  are  like  a  lot  of  sheep,  following  one  after 
the  other,  and  they  think  Chaplin  must  always 
be  spoken  of  as  one  apart.  They  seem  afraid  of 
being  thought  incapable  of  appreciating  his 
artistic  genius. 

Chaplin  considers  himself  very  unusual  and. 
of  course,  has  a  very'  much  overfed  ego.  What 
gets  me  is  this:  he  is  constantly  saying  in 
articles  and  interviews  that  the  world  had 
treated  him  unkindly  and  that  he  is  not  appre- 
ciated. I  think  the  world  has  treated  him 
pretty  darn  well.  It  has  made  him  a  million- 
aire and  has  indulged  his  egotism  more  than  in 
the  case  of  any  other  screen  player.    As  for  not 


1  eing  appreciated  and  understood,  that  is  a  lot 
of  applesauce.  We  laugh  al  his  comic  antics, 
don'twe?  That's  appreciation.  Whatisthere 
tt)  understand? 

Chaplin  should  snap  out  of  the  misunder- 
stood pose.  Nazimova  did  it.  and  she  is  a  mtu  h 
more  versatile  artist  than  Charlie  is.  His 
comedies  should  be  good  when  he  takes  a  year 
to  make  them.  They  are  good,  but  all  this 
bunk  printed  about  him  as  a  "lonely  genius"  is 
unnecessary. 

I  am  a  sincere  movie  fan.  and  quite  intelli- 
gent, thank  you.  J  .NICE  P.  Davis. 

A  Couple  of  Bright  Futures 

Philadelphia,  Pa. 

I  wish  to  express  at  this  time  my  utmost  ap- 
preciation of  the  performances  of  John  Gilbert 
and  Rente  Adoree  in  "The  Big  Parade."  They 
were  superb!  This  is  the  kind  of  picture  that 
comes  once  in  many  months,  and  when  it 
comes  it  takes  the  public  by  storm.  It  grips 
you;  you  want  to  see  it  again  and  again. 

I  cannot  express  in  words  the  impression  it 
lefl  on  me.  There  was  an  intangible  something 
in  the  picture  that  gripped  me  as  no  other  pic- 
ture has  ever  done. 

I  firmly  believe  that  John  Gilbert  has  a  won- 
derful future  ahead  of  him.  He  did  not  ri-e  to 
great  heights  over  night:  therefore  I  believe  he 
will  not  fade  into  oblivion  over  night.  Mr. 
Gilbert  has  been  a  hard  working  man  for  a 
number  of  years. 

I  also  believe  Renee  Adoree  has  been 
'•found."  She  needed  a  chance,  as  Tn  "The 
Big  Parade"  to  show  what  she  really  can  do. 
She,  too,  has  a  very  bright  future.

91t  SWEET  BRIAR  in  Virginia  and 
the  University  of  CALIFORNIA 

961  Girls  use  this  soap  for  their  skin 


THREE  thousand  miles  from  the  wild  roses  of 
Virginia  to  the  golden  poppies  of  California — 
One  college  built  where  old  slave  quarters  used 
to  stand — the  other  marking  the  last  goal  of  the 
pioneer — 

Differences  of  history,  custom,  social  tradition — 
but  everywhere  the  same  eager  heart  of  youth,  with 


its  longing  impulse  toward  happiness,  beauty    .    .    . 

California  girls,  Virginia  girls— what  do  they  do 
to  gain  the  lovely,  smooth  complexion  that  is  every 
girl's  hope  and  ambition:  What  soap  do  thev  find 
most  helpful  in  keeping  their  skin  soft  and  fine, 
radiant  with  health  and  charm? 

We  chose  two  spots  as  widely  separated  as  Sweet 
Briar,  Virginia,  and  Berkeley,  California,  for  ex- 
tending our  investigation  of  the  care  of  the  skin 
among  young  American  college  girls. 

Fifteen  hundred  and  sixty-six  girls  answered  our 
questions,  giving  us  frank,  full  information. 

More  than  half  said  thev  were  using  Woodburv's 
Facial  Soap  regularly  for  their  skin! 

"My  skin  was  in  a  most  discouraging  condi- 
tion when  I  first  started  to  use  Woodbury '  s  Facial 
Soap.  The  improvement  was  so  immediate  that 
otheis  noticed  it  at  once." 

"Woodbury's  Facial  Soap  has  wonderful 
cleansing  properties.  It  has  helped  in  ridding  my 
skin  of  extreme  oiliness  and  has  given  me  a  skin  of 
which  I  am  proud." 

"My  doctor  recommended  Woodbury's  to  me 

for  acne.   I  notice  my  s kit!  feels  soft  and  smooth 

after  using." 

A  SKIN  specialist  worked  out  the  formula  by 
which  Woodburv's  is  made.  This  formula  not 
only  calls  for  the  purest  ingredients;  it  also  demands 
greater  refinement  in  the  manufacturing  process  than 
is  commercially  possible  with  ordinary  toilet  soap. 

Around  each  cake  of  Woodbury's  Facial  Soap  is 
wrapped  a  booklet  containing  special  cleansing  treat- 
ments for  overcoming  common  skin  defects.  A  25c 
cake  lasts  a  month  or  six  weeks. 

Within  a  week  or  ten  days  after  beginning  to  use 
Woodburv's  you  will  see  an  improvement  in  your 
complexion.  Get  your  Woodburv's  today  and  begin 
tonight  the  treatment  your  skin  needs!

Here's  welcome  news.  May  McAvoy  is 
to  be  a  star  again.  May  got  a  bad  break 
in  her  first  starring  engagement.  Forgetting 
her  very  fine  work  in  "Sentimental  Tommy 
they  tried  to  make  her  a  colorless  ingenue. 
But  she  fought  back  gamely.  Now  she  gets 
her  reward.

From  gags  to  stellar  glory.  Such  was  Raymond  Griffith's  path.  After  creating  funny 
stuff  for  other  stars  and  watching  them  collect  the  salary,  Ray  did  a  little  thinking 
about  himself.  He  purchased  a  silk  hat  and  won  a  Paramount  contract.  You  know  the  rest.

<ame  comes  grudgingly  to  the  character  actress  but  Mary  Alden  won  an  immediate 
place  for  herself  by  her  never-tO'be-forgotten  performance  of  the  mulatto  woman  in 
"The  Birth  of  a  Nation."  Her  next  picture  is  "The  Greatest  Thing."

The  brilliant,  and  in  this  case,  blonde  Barrymore  will  next  essay  Don  Juan,  the  gentle- 
man of  a  thousand  loves.  At  first  the  distinguished  John  played  only  an  occasional 
movie  but  now  it  is  reported  he  is  won  over  to  them  to  the  exclusion  of  the  speaking  stage.

This  is  one  of  those  moments  that  come  as  frequently  to  Elinor  Glyn's  mind  as  thoughts 
of  the  butcher's  bill  come  to  the  rest  of  us.  Here  are  Pauline  Starke  and  Antonio 
Moreno  illustrating  the  cosmic    urge    in    Madame's    next    called   "Love's  Blindness." 


More  than  half 
her  life  has  been 
spent  in  pictures 
and  she's  only  ten 
years  old.  She's 
Mary  Kornman, 
Mary,  Queen  of 
Tots.  She  rules 
her  regal  way  over

salespeople  in  the  fines!  slores  say : 
Protect  delicate  garments  this  way" 


Have  you  ever  shopped 
in  Chicago?  In  the  little 
jewel-boxes  of  shops 
along  the  lake-front?  Or 
in  the  magnificent  depart- 
ment scores  standing  so 
closely  within  the  famous 
Loop  ? 

Nowhere  —  even  in  New 
York — will  you  find  a 
more  bewildering  array  o/ 
lovely  garments  —  silks 
and  woolens  so  fragile,  so 
delicate  that  you  wonder 
breathlessly  whether  they 
ever  could  be  washed! 

But  they  can!  The  careful, 
intelligent  people  who 
sell  them  didn't  hesitate  a 
minute  when  a  young 
woman  asked  them  re- 
cently about  laundering.  "Yes,"  was 
their  reply,  "wash  them  with  Ivory." 

Just  as  in  New  York's  greatest  stores 
when  the  same  question  was  put, 
Ivory  was  specified  oftener  than  all 
other  soaps  together.  Opinions  dif- 
fered about  the  safety  of  other  soaps 
mentioned  now  and  then;  but  about 
Ivory  there  was  only  one  opinion: 
"It  is  pure  and  mild  and  safe  enough 
for  anything  that  pure  water  alone 
will  not  harm." 

Typical  comments 
from  different  stores 

"I  know  this  blouse  will  launder 
because  a  customer  of  mine  washed 
one  very  successfully.  But  be  sure  to 

©  1»24.  by  Tho  I'rocKr  A  C.mbl.  Co.,  Clnclnnntl 


use  only  lukewarm  water  and  Ivory  Flakes. 
Our  department  head  has  told  us  to  advise 
Ivory. " — BLOUSE  department. 

"We  will  guarantee  this  piece  of  sports 
silk.  But  you  must  use  reasonable  care  in 
laundering.  And  by  reasonable  care,  I  mean 
Ivory  Soap.  For  all  fine  silks  use  Ivory  and 
you  will  save  yourself  a  great  deal  of 
trouble." — silk  department. 


"Sometimes  customers  come  in  with 
complaints  about  streaking  and  fading 
and  we  discover  that  they  have  used 
too  strong  soaps.  So  to  be  safe,  we  have 
been  instructed  always  to  recommend 
Ivory." — hosiery  department. 

These  recommendations,  of  course, 
are  borne  out  by  your  own  experience 
with  Ivory.  For  naturally,  a  soap  that 
is  pure  and  mild  enough  to  use  on 
your  face  and  on  a  baby's  delicate 
skin  is  safe  for  your  finest  garments. 

For  your  convenience  there  are  two 
forms  of  Ivory — the  cake  of  Ivor)' 
and  the  Flakes.  Ivory  Flakes  are  a 
delight  to  use — so  thin,  so  light, 
converted  so  magically  by  hot  water 
into  fluff)',  mounting  Ivor)'  suds.

Speaking  of  Pictures 


By  James  R.  Quirk 


ONCE  upon  a  time  there 
was  a   magnificent    eagle 


who  reigned  as  king  over 
all  the  animals  of  the  forest. 
His  rule  was  unchallenged  for 
many  years.  But  the  eagle 
grew  weary  with  the  constant 
vigilance  that  was  necessary  to 
maintain  his  throne,  and  be- 
came very,  very  tired.  So  he 
went  up  to  the  top  of  a  high  mountain  to  takea  little  nap. 
"Aha,"  said  the  lion  to  himself,  "the  eagle  is  asleep. 
Here  is  my  chance  at  last.  I  am  the  rightful  monarch 
of  the  forest.  I  shall  assert  myself  and  depose  the 
eagle.  With  my  powerful  jaws  and  my  sharp  claws  I 
shall  tear  off  his  wings.  Then  I  shall  be  king." 

CO  the  ambitious  lion  called  all  the  animals  together 
'-'and  said  to  them :  "  Come  with  me.  I  am  the  real  king 
of  the  forest.    You  shall  see." 

Eagerly  they  followed  the  strutting  lion  up  to  the 
mountain  top  where  the  eagle  was  resting.  He  let  out  a 
loud  roar  that  shook  the  rocks,  and  crouched  for  the 
leap  that  would  make  him  king.  But  the  eagle  had 
heard  the  roar  before  it  was  too  late  and  the  lion's  jaws 
snapped  only  on  a  few  feathers.  Before  he  could  leap 
again  the  eagle  had  him  by  the  tail  and  the  air  was  full 
of  fur  and  feathers.  The  lion's  roar  had  changed  to  a 
howl  of  pain  and  a  snarl  of  combat.  And  would  you 
believe  it,  my  children,  the  battle  is  still  on. 

"□OR,  after  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's  fine  accomplish- 
■*-  ments  of  big  pictures  during  the  last  year,  Paramount 
has  come  back  with  the  most  astounding  program  of 
productions  the  business  has  ever  known.  And  the 
concern  that  introduces  its  pictures  on  the  screen  with 
a  lion's  head  as  its  trade  mark  is  preparing  an  equally 
ambitious  one,  its  roar  for  the  coming  season.  The 
other  denizens  of  the  movie  forest,  First  National, 
Universal,  Fox,  Warner  Bros.,  and  P.  D.  C,  are  all 
leaping  into  the  fight  and  soon  it  will  be  a  battle  royal. 
It  looks  as  though  we  are  in  for  the  greatest  year  of 
pictures. 

CO  that  after  all  we  must  thank  Metro,  etc.  (they 
^ought  to  shorten  that  name)  for  starting  something. 
The  finest  result  of  their  production  accomplishments  is 


that   it  spurred  on  every  other 
Company    to    greater    effort. 

THHERE  is  a  chap  in  this 
■*■  business  of  whom  you  folks 
who  support  it  hear  little, 
but  who  is  one  of  the  few 
really  gigantic  figures  of  the 
industry.  His  name  is  Sidney 
R.    Kent,   general   manager  of 

Paramount,  and  he  has  built  a  sales  organization  of 
clean  cut  go-getters  that  is  the  pride  of  Adolph  Zukor 
and  the  envy  of  every  competitor.  He  put  it  up  to  tin- 
production  department  to  come  up  to  the  standard  of 
his  sales  department,  and  that  is  what  made  the  eagle 
grab  the  lion  by  the  tail.  We  are  going  to  tell  you 
about  Mr.  Kent  next  month. 

A  FAMOUS  motion  picture  actress  recently  died 
•*■  as  a  result  of  an  effort  to  reduce  herweightsuddenly. 
Are  you  aware  of  the  unfortunate  fact  that  supposed- 
ly reputable  physicians,  a  tiny  but  dangerous  minor- 
ity, are  pandering  to  the  mania  for  quick  weight  re- 
duction which  is  sweeping  the  country,  to  an  extent 
where  they  are  responsible  for  deaths  and  countless 
cases  of  irreparably  shattered  health?  It  is  so,  and 
next  month  Photoplay  is  going  to  tell  the  facts 
for  the  benefit  of  millions  of  women,  and  men  too, 
who  are  ignorant  of  the  danger  of  violent  methods  of  re- 
duction, and  will  prove  the  absolute  necessity  of  con- 
sulting your  family  physician  before  you  adopt  any 
unnatural  or  strenuous  means  of  ridding  yourself  of 
that  surplus  poundage. 

GLORIA  SWANSON  is  the  envy  of  millions  of 
^women,  young  and  old,  throughout  the  entire 
world.  She  has  fame,  and  if  not  fortune,  she  enjoys 
the  income  of  a  person  who  has  from  eight  to  ten  millions 
in  investments.  She  is  married  to  a  handsome  marquis 
whom  she  loves  and  who  adores  her.  She  has  two 
children  who  worship  her  and  scores  of  personal  friends 
who  admire  her. 

Yet  I  do  not  count  Gloria  Swanson  a  happy  woman. 
The  thrills  of  fame  and  the  adulation  of  nations  do 
not,  in  my  opinion,  repay  her  for  the  worry  and  heart- 
break of  her  work.     Her  ambition  and  her  artistic  urge

WHAT  is  a  star? 
So  far  as  the  innocent  by- 
stander may  gather,  a  star  is 
anyone  whose  nameisspangled 
on  a  theater  canopy.  And  the  name  is 
legion. 

But  so  far  as  the  man  in  the  box  office  is 
concerned  a  star  is  anyone  whose  name 
draws  him  a  substantial  profit  above  what 
he'd  make  on  the  picture  without  the  star. 

"What's  in  a  name?"  sniffed  Shake- 
speare, contemptuously. 

He'd  soon  find  out  if  he  ran  a  movie 
theater.  He'd  find  out  that  his  own  name 
is  so  bad  as  to  frighten  off  crowds  from 
"Romeo  and  Juliet",  thus  disproving  his 
idea  that  the  story's  the  thing.  Such,  at 
least,  is  the  contention  of  some  alert  show- 
men. 

The  fiercest  war  in  the  annals  of  screen 
bloodshed  is  now  being  waged  among  rival 
producers.     The  battle-cry  is  "Names!" 

One  company  is  being  forced  to  the  wall 
solely  because  it  hasn't  players  with  hypnotic  names. 

Striking  oil  is  one  thing  and  striking  star  stuff  another 
— but  much  the  same  so  far  as  returns  are  concerned. 

That  is  the  reason  for  the  mad  quest  for 
discoveries  abroad  and  the  importation 
this  year  of  no  less  than  a  score  of 
European   players   in   whom 
producers   hope   to   find 
some  precious  star 
material.

What  Are  the 
Necessary  Qualities 
for  a  Star?  • 

i.  Acting  Ability 

2.  Appearance 

3.  Individuality — 

personality  of  appearance  that 
is  so  distinctive  as  to  differed 
tiate  them  from  all  others  in 
marked  degree — says 

Joseph  Schenc\ 


stars  of  the  first  magnitude 

Based  on  the  actual  cash  receipts,  which 
constitute  the  one  and  only  unsentimental 
ballot  of  favorites,  how  many  genuine 
stars  have  we  today  and  how  do  they  rate? 

You  can't  get  the  answer  out  of  any  one 
producer,  because  each  will  extol  his  own 
stars,  no  matter  how  he  may  blister  them 
in  private  for  losing  him  money. 

The  best  authority,  perhaps,  is  Joseph 
Schenck,   not   only   because  of  inherent 
honesty,  but  because  he  is  the  greatest 
dealer  in  big  star  products,  all 
of  whom  rate  among  the 
biggest  money-makers. 
He  is  the  head  of 
the  United 


A  star  is  a

banks.    Charlie    Chaplin, 
Rudolph  Valentino.  Gloria 
anson,  and    Norma  Talmadge, 
hn  Barrymore  soon  to  be  added. 
Mr.  Schenck  contends  that  the  most  im- 
portant factors  in  the  success  of  a  picture  are: 

1.  Storv. 

2.  Star! 

3.  Personalities. 

4.  Director. 

5.  Production,  i.e..  setting,  photog- 
raphy, titles  and  costumes. 

Just  what  is  the  difference  between  stars  and  personalities' 

A  star  is  a  single  individual  capable  of  drawing  people  to  a 
theater,  irrespective  of  the  picture. 

Personalities  are  players  who  invest  the  story  with  reality, 
but  whose  names  do  not  attract  any  appreciable  attendance, 
apart  from  the  guarantee  of  good  acting. 

How  can  the  drawing  power  of  stars  be  determined? 

By  comparing  the  attendance  of  star  pictures  with  the 
attendance   of   pictures   of   similar   quality    having   no   stars. 


The  box  office  —  the  one  and  only  un- 
sentimental ballot  of  motion  picture 

favorites 

This,  likewise,  will  gi\e  you  an  insight  as  to  the  difference 
between  stars  and  personalities,  or  Featured  players.  Some 
players  who  are  starred  in  the  billing  cannot  draw  anj  greater 
attendance  than  pictures  of  equal  merit  without  Btars.  I  lu\ 
are  simply  personalities  who  are  being  forced  into  stardom 
or  in  whom  producers  have  the  hope  of  developing 
star  attraction. 

rhe  relative  value  of  stars  is  gauged  by 
comparing  the  average  attendance  re< 
ords  of  their  respective  pictures.

of   Love,"  star- 
ling Norma  Tal- 
madge,  earned  eight 
hundred   thousand   dollars. 
Without  Miss  Talmadge  it 
would  have  earned  less  than  three 
hundred    thousand,    because   it    was   a 
poor  story  and  on  a  par  with  pictures  earn- 
ing from  two  hundred  to  three  hundred  thou- 
sand.   Thus  Miss  Talmadge's  value  to  that  picture 
was  half  a  million  dollars. 
C.iven  a  story  of  great  popular  appeal,  such  as  "Smilin' 
Through,"  the  receipts  amount  to  one  million  four  hundred 
thousand.    The  value  of  the  story  then  may  be  considered  the 
difference   between   the   receipts  of   "Smilin'   Through"   and 
''The  Song  of  Love,"  or  six  hundred  thousand  dollars. 

With  the  tremendous  increase  in  the  picture  business,  due 

chiefly  to  development  of  the  world  market  since  the  war,  the 

values  of  star  and  story  have  increased  proportionately  so  that 

"  a  star  of  Miss  Talmadge's  power  may  be  worth  two  million 

dollars  to  a  single  production. 

Tfte  test  of  a  star  is  the-  ability  to  carry  bad  pictures. 
A  great  picture  is  no  criterion  of  a  star's  value.  A  star's  stand- 
ing can  only  be  computed  by  an  average  of  several  pictures. 

"Ben  Hur"  is  no  more  a  test  of  Novarro's  value  as  a  star 
than  "The  Big  Parade"  or  "The  Merry  Widow"  is  of  John 
Gilbert's.  But  "The  Midshipman"  and  "The  Arab,"  both 
poor  pictures,  were  tests  of  Xovarro,  as  "The  Snob"  and  "The 

kWife  of  the  Centaur"  were  indications  of  Gilbert's  possibilities. 
Suppose  that  other  players  were  given  the  opportunities  of 
Gilbert    and   Novarro   in   such   great    pictures   as   "The   Big 
Parade"  and  "Ben  Hur,"  would  they  be  stars? 
"No,"  says  Mr.  Schenck.     "They  might  excite  interest  for 
their  next  pictures  but  they  wouldn't  last, 
unless  they  have  what  Gilbert  and  Xovarro 
seem  to  have." 

117; at  then  are  the  qualities  necessary  to  make 
enduring  stars? 


According    to 
Schenck  they  are: 

1.  Acting  ability. 

2.  Appearance. 

3.  Individuality,  i.e..  per- 
sonality of  appearance  that  is  so 
distinctive  as  to  differentiate  them 
from  all  others  in  marked  degree. 

No  one  of  these  qualities  is  enough 
to  make  a  star.  We  have  tine  actors 
who  are  not  star  attractions  because 
they  haven't  youth  and  beauty,  and 
we  have  players  with  beaut)  and  per- 
sonality who  cannot  hold  because 
they  art.'  poor  actors. 

Mr.  Schenck  does  not  believe  in 
character  actors  as  stars,  though  they 
may  rate  high  as  featured  players  and 
in  certain  instances,  as  with  Lon 
Chancy,  furnish  a  guarantee  of  the 
type  of  entertainment. 

Who  are  the  real  stars  of  today  accord- 
ing to  the  box  office  oracle? 

They  may  be  divided  into  three 
groups  according  to  their  winning 
power  in  dollars  and  cents.  They 
rate  as  follows: 

Group  I.  Douglas  Fairbanks,  Har- 
old Lloyd,  Charlie  Chaplin,  Tom  Mix, 
Rudolph  Valentino,  Mary  Pickford, 
Norma  Talmadge,  Gloria  Swanson, 
Tom  Meighan. 

Group  II.  Ramon  Xovarro,  John 
Gilbert, BusterKea  ton, ColleenMoore, 
Corinne  Griffith,  Xorma  Shearer,  Lil- 
lian Gish. 

Group  III.  Richard  Barthclmess, 
Reginald  Denny.  Raymond  Griffith. 
Richard  Dix,  Pola  Xegri,  Constance 
Talmadge. 

Mr.  Schenck  does  not  endorse  this 
list  entirely  but  agrees  by  checking  it 
with  his  daily  re- 
ports from  theaters 
throughout  the 
GROUP  I  country  that  it  is  as

Supporting 
Gloria  Swanson 
in  her  newest  picture 


THEY  all  come  lo  pictures  sooner  or  later.  It  is  not  so  long  ago  that 
a  stage  actor  was  insulted  if  offered  a  job  in  motion  pictures.  That's 
all  changed.  A  real  Russian  prince  is  acting  in  D.  W.  Griffith's  new 
picture,  "Sorrows  of  Satan."  and  on  the  next  set  a  troupe  of  trained 
fleas  arc  performing  in  "Tine  Manners."  Gloria  Swanson's  next  picture. 
The  war  was  not  fought  in  vain.     At  last  we  have  real  democracy. 

Mr.  Hays,  however,  has  assured  us  that  he  will  not  permit  these  newest 
of  cinema  actors  ami  actresses  to  make  personal  appearances,  even  if  Rin- 
Tin-Tin  did  make  one  in  New  York. 

The  trained  fleas  walk  tight  rope,  do  somersaults,  dance  ballets,  run 
merry-go-rounds,  and  perform  a  lot  of  other  amazing  feats,  but  when  Gloria 
asked  their  Simon  Legree  if  they  could  roller  skate,  he  gave  the  star  a  wither- 
ing look  of  disgust,  and  threatened  to  take  his  tleas  out  of  the  picture.  After 
that  they  were  treated  with  the  respect  becoming  their  art  and  temperament. 
Just  lo  show  the  Marquise  de  la  Falais  de  la  Coudray  her  place  the  fleas  kept 
her  wailing  around  the  set  for  three  hours  because  their  feelings  were  hurt 
and  they  were  not  in  the  mood.  Even  the  orchestra  failed  to  sooth  their 
ruffled  sensibilities.  They  are  shown  on  the  screen  enlarged  twenty-five

"IT  "T"  '▼'HEN  the  Famous  Players-Lasky  executives,  stars, 
\   \    /     an<^  sales  force  gathered  at  Atlantic  City  recently  to 

^/^/  prepare  their  program  for  the  coming  year,  Adolphe 
Menjou  was  one  of  the  shining  lights.  He  became 
very  popular  with  everyone  from  Adolph  Zukor  to  the  messenger 
boys,  and  his  sartorial  equipment  was  the  envy  of  all.  Clothes  with 
Mr.  Menjou  are  not  only  a  personal  pride  but  part  of  his  profes- 
sional fame,  and  naturally  the  boys  looked  upon  him  as  the  fashion 
plate  of  the  organization. 

They  got  a  lot  of  fun  out  of  watching  the  salesmen  from  the 
middle  west  gazing  intently  at  the  best  dressed  man  on  the  screen, 
obviously  making  mental  notes  of  the  hang  and  fit  of  his  coat  and 
trousers,  and  one  of  them,  entering  the  barber  shop  of  the  hotel  as 
their  model  was  leaving,  demanded  that  his  hair  be  cut  a  la 
Menjou. 


For  one  whole  day,  however,  the  executives  had  him  going. 
They  formed  a  conspiracy  to  corner  him  at  every  opportunity  and 
criticize  his  tailor's  work,  and  in  his  presence  start  arguments  pro 
and  con  on  the  imperfections  of  his  pride  and  joy. 

"That  lapel  may  be  all  right  in  Hollywood,  but  it  is  not  being 
done  in  New  York,"  said  Verne  Porter,  scenario  editor,  the  best 
dressed  of  the  studio  staff.  "What  do  you  think,  Tommy?"  turning 
to  Mr.  Meighan. 

"I  wouldn't  wear  it  that  way,"  said  Tommy. 

"Rather  overdone,  it  seems  to  me,"  added  Sidney  Kent,  the 
general  manager. 

"Doesn't  look  right  to  me,"  agreed  Jesse  Lasky  and  W.  C.  Fields. 

Menjou  looked  worried.    Then  he  got  on. 

"You  can  all  go  to  h — ,"  he  yelled,  as  he  escaped  toward  the 
boardwalk.    "You  are  just  a  pack  of  he-cats."

Guy 


Is  Reginald  Denny 
going  to  win  Wally 
Reid's  place  in  the 
heart  of  the  fans? 


By  Dorothy  Spensley 


HE'S  the  guy  that  always  ^«.-is  into  trouble, 
gets  dirty,  gets  booted  out  by  dad  but  finally 
j^ets  the  girl.  Proving  that  you  can't  keep 
8  good  man  down  in  pictures. 

Or,  if  he  already  has  the  girl,  he  hands  the  boss  a 
loaded  cigar,  quite  unintentionally,  just  as  he  asks  tor 
a  raise,  and  the  boss  lights  the  cigar.  And  then  the 
cigar  —but  you  know  the  rest!  And  ii  isn't  until  the 
last  reel  that  the  culprit  conies  in  with  the  million 
dollar  contract,  notarized,  and  gets  the  raise.  And 
his  wife,  in  a  bungalow  apron,  kisses  him  and  they 
rush  off  to  eat  biscuits  in  the  kitchen. 

He's  just  the  eternal  blundering  good-natured  happy- 
go-lucky  sort  of  chap  that  we  love  and  laugh  at  and. 
some  of  us,  deep  down  in  our  hearts,  feel  a  hit  superior 
to.  He  is  always  getting  into  embarrassing  positions 
— usually  in  a  valiant  effort  to  accomplish  some  great 
end— and.  like  a  Hans  Andersen  fairy  tale,  he  ac- 
complishes it  and  glory,  to  hoot. 

And  the  glory  hangs  a  hit  heavy  ami  he  is  very  sheepish  about 
it.  until  The  Girl  scampers  up  and  covers  his  confusion  with 
-—and  then — fade-out. 

There  once  was  a  man  on  the  screen  who  could  play  a  part 
like  that — and  play  it  with  a  sincerity  that  made  you  believe  in 
it.  He  made  you  love  his  awkward  errors — love  the  scrapes  he 
was  always  unwittingly  getting  into — he  convinced  you  of  the 
reality  of  the  trials,  ant-hill  size,  that  assumed  mountainous 
proportions  in  the  small  life  of  the  character  he  was  playing. 

But,  greatest  of  all  things,  he  wooed  and  won  the  sympathy 
of  his  audience — from  woman  to  man  and  to  littlest  child.    And 


At  four,  in  dear  old  England,  Reggie  owned 
this  sailor  suit.  At  twenty-four,  in 
brightest  Hollywood,  he  owned  the  yacht 


you  and  I  know  what  a  vast  chasm  that  bridges.  What  a 
tremendous  feat  of  personality  it  is  for  a  man — particularly  a 
handsome  man  -to  win  the  praise  of  a  male  following  whose 
wives,  sweethearts,  mothers,  sisters  are  his  devout  worshippers. 
The  only  man  who  had  achieved  that  uncommon  distinction. 
I  think  you  will  agree,  was  Wallace  Keid.  Wally — since  de- 
parted— who  won  and  held  the  hearts  of  his  followers,  both 
male  and  female,  though  death  erased  him  from  their  sight. 

1  know  of  Valentino.     His  subjugation  was  of  women.     Of 
the  men  he  had  few  admirers.    Jealousy,  no  doubt.     And  there 
is  Tommy  Meighan.    There  is  none  of  the  pathos  in  his  make- 
up that  made  for  Wallv's  charm.     Milton  Sills,  Conrad  Nagel, 
Charlie  Ray — none  of  these  men  have  felt  that 
high  crest  of  public  feeling  that  swept  Wally  to 
the  pinnacle — where  he  remained. 

Of  the  newer  screen  idols  there  is  but  one 
who  approaches  the  style  of  characterization 
that  made  Wally  famous. 

Wally  played  the  real  American  boy.  The 
youth  that  is  eager,  overzealous,  stumbling  in 
his  haste  to  reach  the  goal.  The  youth  that 
you  and  I  see  on  every  side.  Lovable — often 
at  fault — brave — muddled — daring.  And  vic- 
torious.    Oh!   always  victorious! 

The  newer  idob  are  stylists  of  a  different  type. 
Gilbert  and  his  passionate  appeal.  Colman 
and  his  reserved  fury-at-leash  mien.  And  Rich- 
ard Dix.whom  many  proclaim  as  Wallv's  logical 
successor,  whose  air  is  more  aggressive,  more 
self-reliant,  more  assured,   than   was   Wallv's.

^Yor  May  Days  and  June 

J      Lovely  Miss  Allison  will  wear  Paris  novelties 


Paris  loves  the  scarf. 
This  flattering  one  of 
black  and  white 
polka  dotted  silk, 
with  its  matching 
hat  of  felt,  was  im- 
ported by  Hyland  for 
Saks — Fifth   Avenue 


WHEN  Mat  Hyland  of 
HylandBrothers.Xew 
Vork  importers, 
started  abroad  last 
February — he  goes  abroad  five 
times  a  year — May  Allison  com- 
missioned him  to  do  her  Paris 
shopping. 

'"Buy  me  clothes  that  I  can 
really  wear,"  the  decorative  May 
instructed.  '"I  don't  want  Paris 
'creations'  so  startling  one  never 
sees  them  on  a  well-dressed  wom- 
an, but  real  clothes  that  are  prac- 
tical and  chic  with  that  air  that 
only  Paris  give?." 

Mr.  Hyland  departed  and  ex- 
plored the  Rue  de  la  Paix.  But 
when  Miss  Allison  rushed  to  his 
shop  on  his  return,  out  of  all  the 
packing  boxes  not  a  dress  emerged. . 
''Let  me  explain  first,"  begged 
Mr.  Hyland.  "The  accessory  is 
the  thing  this  year.  The  mode  in 
gowns  has  altered  very  little.  The 
great  activity  of  women  and  their 
demand  to  stay  young  make  the 
simple  frock  imperative.  The 
coutouricrcs  have  been  expending 
themselves  on  the  'little  touches.' 
"Thus  the  'new'  things,  the 
dernier  cri  of  this  season,  are  the 
extra  things,  hats,  scarfs,  coats, 
and  shawls.  I've  purchased  all  of 
those  for  vou. 


Inspired  by  the 
costume  of  the 
Druse  of  the  des- 
ert, this  evening 
wrap  is  of  Persian 
silk.  The  hood, 
when  unwanted, 
folds  softly  across 
the  shoulders

ndowed  with  intelligence 
and  beauty,  May  Allison 
knows  that  correct  acces- 
sories are  more  important 
than  costly  frocks 


"Take  the  scarf,     Paris  lias  never  relinquished  ii.    This 

\  ear  it  will  be  wider  ami  worn  with  a  hat  to  match.    See  this 

polka  dotted  one    the  polka  dot  is  back  in  tavor." 

Miss  Allison  pulled  tin'  little  li.n  down  over  her  shining 
hair  and  wound  the  scarf  around  hei  throat.  "Give  me  mj 
check  book,"  slu-  ordered. 

"Wait."  said  Mr.  11\  land.     "A  single  hat  is  a  1  unit  as  USe 

tul  to  a  woman  as  a  single  kiss.    I've  three  more  here  you 
must  bave. 


What    is    so    rare    as    a 

blonde  in  June  in  such 

a  hat  as  this? 


Of  softest  silver  and 

gold    leather  it   is 

Hyland'screationfor

Another  Reboux  model,  this  turban  has  been 
named  for  Miss  Allison.  Of  rainbow-hued 
ribbon  it  is  as  gladsome  as  a  spring  morning 


"See  this  Reboux  creation,  called  the  Montmartre  tam.  I 
understand  it  was  originally  designed  for  Helen  Wills.  Then 
this  turban  in  rainbow  silks.  .  .  "     "Exquisite!" 

"  Well  name  it  the  May  Allison.  Its  colors  are  almost  as 
delicate  as  your  own.  You  must  have  a  hat  for  evening 
wear.  It's  being  done  particularly  in  gold  and  silver  leather. 
Evening  wraps  and  daytime  coats  are  most  important,  too. 
Shawls  and  coats  this  summer  will  supply  color  and  grace. 
I've  bought  you  a  silk  knitted 
coat,  a  deeply  fringed  Venice 
shawl  and  this  hooded  cloak." 

"Ah,  my  poor  salary,"  sighed 
Miss  Allison.  "Pack  all  those 
treasures  quickly.  I'm  due  at 
the  First  National  Studios  in 
half  an  hour." 


Like  Joseph's  coat  of  many 
colors  comes  this  deeply  fringed, 
hand  knitted  Venice  shawl, 
giving  grace  and  beauty  to  the 
simplest  summer  frock

A  Story  of  Strange  DESTINY  I 


Viola  Dana,  the  fatalist,  was  the  first 

of  the  three  unfortunate  Flugraths  to 

be  victim  of  their  tragic  loves 

By  Dorothy  Spensley 


HERE  is  a  story  that  is  almost  unbelievable  in  its 
overwhelming  fatality. 
A  story  of  Hollywood,  with  a  grimness  that  makes 
it  read  like  an  old-world  tragedy.    It  is  a  story  of  a 
fate  that  befell  three  sisters.    A  fate  relentless  in  its  pursuit. 
Inevitable  in  its  destiny.    A  fate 
that  has  shadowed   the  happi- 
ness of  three  sisters  like  the  hair- 
suspended  sword  of  Damocles. 

And  how  three  times  the  sword 
has  descended,  taking  from  each 
of  them,  one  by  one,  the  most 
priceless  thing  in  life — first  love. 
Eor  you  know  and  I  know  that 
ihe  most  precious  thing  in  life — 
although  we  may  love  many  times 
and  often — is  that  first  ecstatic 
awakening.  That  gossamer-sheer 
glory  that  attends  it.  The  tender- 
sweet  potion  that  drugs  our  being. 
And  how  each  one  cradling  in 
her  heart  the  loneliness  and  the  Edna  and  her  hus"

Only  recently  death 
parted  them 


Shirley   and  Bcrnie. 

They  were  called  the 

most  devoted  couple 

in  Hollywood 


"Baby  sister"  Shirley  met  the 
same  fate.  Just  like  Vi's  hus- 
band,  Shirley's  Bernard 
Durning  died  on  the  eve  of 
his  greatest  success 


You  may  say  you  do  not  be- 
lieve in  fate,  or  circumstance,  or 
destiny,  or  what  you  may  choose 

to  call  it.  but  I  think  you  will 
agree  that  it  is  a  strange  fate 
that  has  guided  the  life  craft  of 
the  Flugrath  sisters. 

There  are  three  of  them. 

Edna,      Viola      and      Shirley. 

Three  pretty,  sparkling  girls — 

they  were  born  in   Brooklyn. 

Dazzling  Edna,  of  the  lovely 

voice  and  supple  form,  went  on  the  stage  and 

clung   to   the   family   name.      Viola   and   little 

sister  Shirley  were  too  young,  of  course. 

But  there  came  a  time  after  they  moved  to 
the  Bronx  that  Viola  heard  of  the  Edison  studio, 
just  across  the  sun-dappled  park,  where  clever 
youngsters  could  earn  a  pretty  penny  during 
the  summer  vacation  by  acting  for  motion  pic- 
tures— that  illegitimate  offspring  of  the  stage,  as 


John    Collins  was  husband,   hero, 

and  guide  to  Viola  in  her  Edison 

days.    They  adored  one  another 


Vi's  first  car.  CM  nuns,. 

Shirley  and  Bernie  had

Edna,  achieving  fame

Then  one  day  Harold  Shaw,  who  was  the  master  director  of 
the  studio,  needed  a  blonde  ghl  for  o  roll.  There  was  not  one

Milton  Sills  is  a 
see\er  of  beauty 
in  life 

By  Carol  Bird 


IF  you  are  very,  very  gullible  you  swallow  all  the  material 
about  the  folks  of  the  screen  disseminated  by  over-zealous 
tale-weavers  without  even  a  skeptical  gulp  or  two. 

But  if  you  are  suspicious  by  nature,  and  somewhat 
sophisticated  in  the  bargain,  your  fairy-story  days  are  at  an 
end,  and  the  too  hackneyed  tales  no  longer  go  over  with  you. 

You  would  approach  Milton  Sills,  as  I  did,  guardedly,  and 
on  the  alert,  blinders  off  and  eyes  wide  open. 

"I  won't  be  misled  by  any  of  this  glamorous  chatter.'' 
said  I  to  myself,  as  I  started  off  to  keep  a  luncheon  engagement 
with  Milton  Sills.  And  then — I  found  that  he.  at  any  rate,  is 
really  the  type  of  movie  idol  who  justifies  publicity  eulogies  and 
encomiums. 

Milton  Sills:  Philosopher.  Humanist.  Metaphysician.  Meet 
him  in  several  new  and  different  roles. 

You  know  Milton  Sills  as:  The  man  from  the  great  open 
spaces.  The  two-fisted  regular  kind  of  a  chap.  The  big,  rugged 
Westerner  who  hails  from  those  unique  ports  where  men  are  men. 
In  short,  you  know  him  as  the  concentrated  essence  of  He- 
Manhood. 

But  do  you  know  this  chameleon-man  in  actuality? 

Do  you  know  that  he  is  a  man  of  intellectual  gifts?  A  man 
of  many  and  diversified  talents?  A  Fellow  in  Philosophy  of 
the  University  of  Chicago?  A  linguist  who  spent  many  years 
studying  Greek,  Latin,  Russian,  French,  Italian,  German? 
A  man  who  is  intensely  interested  in  the  arts  and  sciences? 
Who  studies  biology  and  astronomy  as  a  pastime?  A  thorough 
musician,  an  artist  and  a  sculptor?  A  man  to  whom  the  Einstein 
theory  is  as  clear  as  the  crystal  depths  of  a  swan-pool? 

Now  do  not  gather  from  this  that  Milton  Sills  is  so  erudite 
that  he  loses  his  humanity  on  the  cold  mountain  peaks  of 
intellectuality. 

And  please  do  not,  if  you  are  of  a  cynical  nature,  begin 
hinting  that  all  is  not  coin  that  clinks.  Milton  Sills  is  not  a  man 
of  false  and  inane  gesture.  He  is  genuine.  He  can  maintain, 
almost  indefinitely,  an  abstruse  and  bewildering  discussion,  on 
every  subject  imaginable.  But  he  is  decidedly  not  doing  it  for 
effect. 

He  is  simply  a  man  whose  character  and  fine  mind  has  many 
facets.  They  glitter  and  gleam  because  of  years  of  a  polishing 
process.  Milton  Sills  is  intellectually  cultivated.  But  his 
erudition  does  not  lift  him  to  a  plane  above  his  fellow  men. 


Father  and  daughter.    Dorothy  Sills  wants  to  follow  in 
her  Dad's  spotlights.     Being  a  wise  parent,  he  says  she 
must  wait  till  she  finishes  school 


His  mind  is  an  encyclopedia  of  information,  but  he  does  not 
superciliously  flaunt  his  superior  knowledge.  He  is  too  human 
and  lovable  for  that. 

He  loves  Life.  lie  loves  the  glorious  panorama  of  Nature. 
And  he  loves  beauty  in  every  conceivable  form.  His  is  a 
thoroughly  aesthetic  temperament. 

But  if  you  think  this  creed  and  this  beauty-worship  is  simply 
a  "sunshine  and  light"  gesture,  you  are  wrong  again.  Milton 
Sills  is  not  a  male  Pollyanna.  In  fact,  he  is  quite  the 
opposiie. 

He  sees  the  world  in  its  dark  cloak  of  sorrows.  He  sees  it 
only  too  clearly.  It  was  this  clarity  of  vision  and  compassionate 
understanding  of  the  tribulations  of  mankind  which  introduced 
him  into  the  motion  picture  world.  And  which  keeps  him  there. 
It  also  will  prevent  him  from  ever  growing  stale,  or  having  his 
work  pall.    It  is  too  definitely  tied  up  with  his  philosophy. 

A  clam  omelette  happened  to  be  the  piece  dc  resistance  at 
the  luncheon  where  Milton  Sills  revealed  some  of  the  things 
that  lie  close  to  his  heart.  Perhaps  a  clam  omelette  is  a  mundane 
dish  to  figure  in  a  discussion  which  touched  the  spiritual.  But 
if  it  served  to  banish  reticence — and  it  did — it  served  a  lofty 
purpose. 

Mr.  Sills'  face,  with  its  strong  lines  of  character,  and  faint 
tracery  of  laugh  crinkles  around  the  eyes,  softened  as  he  spoke 
of  the  average  man  and  woman  and  their  lot  in  life. 

"Their  lives  lack  beauty.''  he  began.  "The  age  of  industri- 
alism, beginning  with  the  steam  engine,  has  taken  the  joy  out 
of  life  for  them.  I  refer  especially  to  the.  dwellers  in  our  large 
cities.  They  arc  prisoners  among  drab  skyscrapers,  smoke, 
crowds  of  harried  individuals  living  lives  as  unbeautiful  as 
their  own.  Take  the  average  shop-girl.  Her  working  surround- 
ings are  monotonous  and  unlovely.  After  the  long  day's  drab 
work  is  over  she  goes  home  to  a  crowded  city  apartment, 
unlovely,  too.  likely  as  not.  in  setting,  architecture,  furnishings. 
If  she  wants  beauty,  she  must  go  to  an  art  gallery  or  a  museum 
for  a  glimpse  of  it.  She  ought  to  have  it  every  day  of  her  life, 
woven  into  the  things  she  does,  wears,  gazes  upon.  I  mean 
beauty  in  an  aesthetic  sense.  [  continued  on  page  78  ]

CLOSE-UPS  and 


By  Herbert  Howe 


Satire,  Humor  and 
Some  Sense 


Long-Shots 


MUSSEL  ROCK,   California: 
This  being  a  warm  spring  day  we'll  take  a  ride. 
Motoring  out  to  my  sea  hermitage  over  Ventura 
highway — tracing  the  trail  originally  blazed  by  the 
crucifix  of  Father  Serra — you  are  struck  by  the  effect  of  the 
cinema  fantasy  on  the  art  and  life  of  sunny  California. 

Here  nature  gave  root  to  the  movie,  and  the  movie  in  grate- 
ful return  has  spread  her  make-up  over  nature. 

Through  Cahuenga  pass  that  debouches  its  traffic  into  the 
valley  of  San  Fernando  you  come  upon  Universal  City  and  the 
rolling  Lasky  rancho  where  location  "shots"  are  made. 

On  a  summit  focused  for  sunset  is  the  ruin  of  Notre  Dame 
cathedral,  erected  in  the  year  of  Our  Lord  1924  by  Carl 
Laemmle  for  the  estimable  Hunchback,  Lon  Chaney. 

Beyond  on  the  floor  of  the  valley  lies  No  Man's  Land  where 
the  wars  of  the  movie  are  waged.  Today  the  Civil  War  is  on. 
The  Blue  and  the  Grey  are  busily  puffing  at  one  another  that 
Dick  Barthelmess  may  win  Dorothv  Mackaill  for  "Ransom's 
Folly." 

You  are  invited  to  stop  at  the  Cave  barbecue  for  a  sandwich 
and  glass  of  Tacoma  brew.  It  is  a  cave  of  movie  make-up, 
perhaps  created  by  a  studio  art  director  on  the  side.  A  boy 
runs  out  to  the  car  to  serve  you.  He  wears  white  trousers,  an 
orange  brass-buttoned  jacket,  a  pert  orange  cap,  as  jaunty  and 
neat  as  a  bell  hop  at  the  Hotel  Adlon  in  Berlin. 

Then  the  circular  Zulu  Hut,  with  thatched  palm  roof  and 
imitation  cocoanut  trees  towering  around.  It  is  owned  by 
Raymond  McKee,  the  actor,  who  makes  a  monthly  fortune  by 


Oyez!  Oyez  !  Mile.  Renee  Adoree 

steps  to  the  head  of  Professor 

Howe's  exclusive  class  of 

geniuses  this  month 


serving  chicken  suppers  that  you  eat  with  your  fingers  by  the 
light  of  candles  stuck  in  real  antique  Scotch  bottles.  A  Zulu 
Negro,  dressed  in  grass  and  jabbering  French,  opens  the  door  of 
your  car,  then  rushes  inside  to  do  the  Charleston  to  a  jibberish 
of  French  song. 

THE  car  rolls  on  past  the  Blu  Den  barbecue — then  a  shack 
called  Tut's  New  Temple  that  serves  tamales — the  Hawaiian 
hut  run  by  a  prize-fighter — the  Dixie  Inn  boasting  of  chicken, 
waffles  and  syrup — on  between  ranches  of  walnuts,  fragrant 
orange  groves,  live-oak  trees  majestically  isolate  and  shaggy, 
sky-reaching  eucalypti  that  make  me  think  in  symbol  of 
Tolstoy — past  Tenda  de  Loze,  with  its  Mexican  pottery  and 
desert  flowers — the  San-a-Tog  goat  dairy,  "drink  to  your 
health" — Bunnymede,  "the  world's  most  productive  acre," 
with  hens  laying  white  nuggets  filled  with  gold — sparkling 
hedges  of  geranium  and  cypresses  over  which  wild  roses  burst 
in  a  shower  of  color — Anna  Q.  Nilsson's  house  high  on  a  hill, 
reflecting  the  architecture  of  San  Fernando  Mission  across  the 
valley — signs  urging  you  to  partake  of  barbecued  beef  and 
Texas  tamales.  to  have  your  face  lifted  and  to  attend  "  The  Big 
Parade"  at  Grauman's  Egyptian — then  a  touch  of  comedy 
relief,  a  ramshackle  Ford  spinning  ahead  like  a  June  bug  with  a 
sign  on  its  tad,  "Nobody  hurt  in  this  wreck." 

Thus  fantastic,  fabulous  Hollywood  makes 
California  so  completely  her  stage  that  you  sus- 
pect the  sun  of  being  an  arc  lamp,  with  Marcus 
Loew  sitting  up  there  on  the  throne  running  the 
whole  show. 

I  INTEND  to  write  a  chapter  for  the  Book  of 
Etiquette  on  how  separated  couples  should  act 
toward  one  another.  It  will  be  based  on  Holly- 
wood observances. 

Dick  Barthelmess  dropped  in  at  my  bachelor 
casa  the  other  evening,  with  Barbara  Bennett. 
He  tells  me  that  he  and  Man-  Hay  have  been 
separated  long  enough  now  to  permit  of  formal 
calls  on  one  another.  During  these  tete-a-tete 
teas  they  are  as  friendly  and  polite  as  before  they 
were  married. 

Friendship  that  can  stand  the  test  of  marriage 
is  very  worth  while.  So  is  marriage  that  can  stand 
the  test  of  friendship.  Yet  Dick  says:  "Never 
marry — it's  hard  enough  to  endure  living  with 
yourself,  let  alone  dragging  in  some  one  else." 

FLORENCE  YIDOR  for  tea,  during  which  we 
extolled  the  genius  and  merited  triumph  of 
her  once  husband.  King  Yidor.  whose  "Big 
Parade"  is  our  current  enthusiasm.  But  on 
departure  Florence  blessed  my  monastic  refuge 
with:  "It's  wonderful  to  be  free,  isn't  it?" 

WHEN  I  consider  all  the  friends  I've  seen 
gaily  prance  the  aisle  with  orange-blos- 
somed accompanists,  only  to  issue  out  of  the  Hall 
of  Justice  quite  as  merrily  a  few  months  later 
with  divorce  decrees  on  the  same  arms  that  held 
the  bridal  hands.  I'm  moved  to  speculation. 

Is  matrimony  a  failure?  Certainly  not  when  it 
starts  so  merrily  and  ends  just  as  happily,  with 
only  a  few  dull  moments  in  between. 

THE  most  loving  couples  I  know  live  in  Holly- 
wood— apart.  When  you  hear  them  speak  so 
be&utifully  of  one  another  you  wonder  why  more 
don't  separate.  Indeed,  Hollywood  has  found  the 
solution  for  happy  marriages.    It's  separation. 


42 


Herb  finds  the  solution  to  that  great  ever-present  question, 
How    to    Be    Happy   Though    Married  —  Be   Separated 


MY  philosophic  conclusion  is:  Lead 
a  woman  lo  marriage  ami  you  make 
hi-r  your  wife;  divorce  her  ami  she's 
your  friend  for  life. 

(I'll  hot  some  tin  pan  alley  bird  steals 
that  for  a  song.) 

SPEAKING    of    steals.    Hetty     BMhe. 
whose  pet   word  used  to  be  "aroma," 
nice  asked  me  what  aroma  I'd  like  to  be  ' 

in  my  next  incarnation.   1  said.  "Corinne 
Griffith's  bath  salts." 

What    was  my  surprise  to  hear  the  same  line  ionic 
over   the   footlights  one   night,   the  only   change  being 

the  substitution  of  Gloria  Swanson  for  Corinne  Griffith. 

Uu!  as  1  had  no  serious  objection   to  the  change   I  let 

it  go. 

A  BIRD-SELLER  called  at  my  door  this  morning 
with  a  love  bird  for  sale.  He  had  startling  infor- 
mation. He  said  that  ornithologists  had  believed  it 
impossible  for  love  birds  to  exist  except  in  pairs,  but 
owing  to  the  miraculous  climate  of  Hollywood  it  was 
found  they  could  thrive  just  as  well  apart. 

"No  news  to  me,"  1  said  drily.     "1   know  it's  a   marvelous 
climate.  " 

You  don't  have  lo  marry  to  keep  warm  in  Hollywood. 

I  HAD  a  belated  view  of  "His  People,"  a  picture  of  savory 
atmosphere  and  superb  acting,  particularly  that  of  Rudolph 
Schildkraut  and  Rosa  Rosanova.  It's  a  story  of  Jewish  home 
lite.  The  Ghetto  appears  to  be  the  only  place  where  you  can 
find  home  life  any  more.  All  the  other  houses  are  given  over 
to  wild  youth  and  dancing  mothers,  according  to  the  screen, 
with  no  place  for  Dad  to  go  except  the  other  woman's.  Some- 
thing ought  to  be  done  to  preserve  this  old  home  relic  if  only  as 
a  film  "location."'

ARY  GARDEN  has  a  new  secret  for  health  and  slender- 
ness.  Every  morning  she  descends  from  her  villa  on  the 
Riviera  ami  swims  one  and  one-half  kilometres  in  the  Mediter- 
ranean. Then  she  climbs  into  a  boat,  moored  for  her  use,  and 
takes  off  every  stitch  of  bathing  suit.  For  an  hour  she  lies  thus 
in  the  sun. 

Curiously,  Rex  Ingram,  also  on  the  Riviera,  does  the  same 
thing. 

JOSEPH  YASSER,  the  Russian  pianist,  is  wasting  his  time 
playing  tunes.  With  that  name  he  could  get  a  million  dollar 
job  in  Hollywood. 

HOW  To  Dress  To  Suit  Your  Type  is  a  favorite  magazine

STUDIO  NEWS  6?  GOSSIP 


Once  more  they  ain't  done  right  by  our  Lillian.  They've 
gone  and  pinned  the  scarlet  letter  on  her  snow-white 
bib.  But,  we  are  informed,  Miss  Gish  picked  Mr. 
Hawthorne's  story  herself,  knowing  she  suffers  swell  in 
celluloid.    So  that's  that 


Claire  Windsor's  little  clinging  oak  is  Owen  Moore  in 
"Money  Talks."  What's  happening,  anyhow?  Anna 
Q.  Nilsson  and  Leatrice  Joy  in  boys'  clothes  in  their 
next  pictures;  Owen  Moore  in  skirts  for  his  next.  What's 
the  bi?  idea? 


JOSEPH  SCHILDKRAUT  almost  lost  his 
•'classic  profile  when  the  "Shipwreck"  com- 
pany went  on  location  to  Mazatlan,  a  remote 
seaport  in  Mexico,  on  the  coast  of  Lower  Cali- 
fornia. The  natives  were  like  those  you  read 
about,  and  seldom  see.  Motion  pictures  were  a 
mystery  to  them.  But  their  lack  of  film  knowl- 
edge was  made  up  for  by  their  familiarity  with 
fistic  champions. 

Schildkraut  was  having  the  customary  tussle 
with  the  villain.  Said  Joseph  Hcnaberrv,  his 
director,  to  some  of  the  gaping  natives: 

"That  black-haired  fellow  is  Joe  Schild- 
kraut.   He  knocked  out  Bert  Colima." 

On  hearing  the  name  of  their  fellow-count  ry- 
man,  Colima,  several  of  the  Mexicans  disap- 
peared and  returned  with  their  local  champion, 
"  Kid"  Milo.  who  craved  a  fight  with  Colima's 
vanquisher.  But  somehow  Schildkraut  couldn't 
be  persuaded  into  it.  And  the  "Kid"  hung 
around  the  set  all  day,  figuring  that  if  he  had  a 
c  ha  nee  to  knock  Schildkraut  out,  he  would  be 
undisputed  champion. 

"TOTALLY,  I'd  give  a  thousand  dollars  a 
**  week  for  a  man  who  would  ^\o  my  wor- 
rying for  me,"  frantically  said  Ed  Sloman,  who 
is  a  director,  and  directors  are  always  supposed

to  do  things  frantically

■on  get  the  thousand

amiably,  because  juvenile  leads  are  always 
supposed  to  be  amiable. 

"That's  the   first    thing  he  would  have   to 
worry  about." 

T7IRGINIA  VA1.1.1  has  a  new  boyish  bob, 

*   which  is  almost    as  slick  as  the  story  she 

tells   about    the    notice   in   a    little   Swiss   inn, 


where  she  and  Carmelita  Geraghty  stopped 
when  they  were  abroad  playing  in  a  German 
picture. 

The  little  chalet  was  perilously  perched  on 
the  side  of  one  of  the  towering  Alps  and  ap- 
parently disaster  had  stalked  before,  as  the 
stained  placard  on  the  wall  read: 

"Guests  who  attempt  to  scale  the  mountain 
are  requested  to  settle  their  hotel  bills  before 
starting." 

YEH!"  said  Glenn  Tryon,  as  he 
reflectively  eyed  the  beautiful 
blonde  across  the  room.  "I  have 
known  her  since  she  was  a  brunette." 

"  pLEASE.  Pat !    Why  don't  you  marry  me?  " 

■*-  pursued  one  of  Patsy  Ruth  Miller's 
swains. 

"I  may  never  get  married."  This  from  Pat, 
shaking  her  shingled  head. 

"Oh.  Pat!"  plaintively  plead  the  doting 
male.  "Just  think  of  all  the  men  you  will  dis- 
appoint." 

"  I'd  rather  disappoint  a  number  of  men  for  a 
little  while  than  disappoint  one  for  life." 

T-JE  was  a  very  distinguished  actor.  And  not 
-*-  -La  small  part  of  his  distinction  lay  in  the 
number  of  his  ex-wives.  Along  came  income 
tax  time  and  the  alimony  checks  assumed  huge 
proportions.     A  brilliant  idea  was  born. 

Under  the  heading  Had  Investments  he 
listed  "three  wives" — and  the  amount  of  their 
alimony. 

Hut  to  the  government  all  wives  are  good  in- 
vestments and  the  actor  had  to  pay  a  full 
return. 


A  XD  then  there  is  Clarence  Brown's  fai 
-'^-remark: 

"They  are  all  actors  and  a<  tresses  until 
reach  the  studio." 

'"THERE  was  a  grand  fistic  battle  at  the  Hal 
■■-Roach    studio    when    "Mickey,"    of    the 

freckle-strewn  face,  and  Jack,  oi  the  angelic 
countenance,  two  mischievious  members  of 
"Our  Gang."  met  and  tussled  for  the  crown  of 
Champion  Wrestler  of  the  Roach  Lot. 

They  were  deadlocked  for  seven  minutes  by 
the  count  of  one  of  the  grown-up  onlookers,  be- 
cause Jack  had  "Mickey"  firmly  by  the  neck. 
The  tide  of  the  battle  turned  when  "Mickey" 
suddenly  stood  on  his  head  and  flung  little  Jack 
through  the  air.  for  all  the  world  like  the  rock 
in  David's  slingshot. 

"Mickey"  says  he's  going  to  be  a  wrestler 
when  he  grows  up,  but  little  Mary  Kornman, 
the  beaut\-  of  "Cur  Gang,"  whom  all  the 
boys  adore,  has  other  ideas  on  the  subject. 

I  WAS  gossiping  with  Syd  Chaplin  the  other 
day  at  Warner  Brothers  where  he  is  making 
"The  BetterOle,"  with  a  walrus-like  mustache 
that  certainly  must  be  the  despair  of  the  hair- 
dressers. 

Said  Syd,  in  the  course  of  the  conversation: 
"I  would  be  glad  to  play  the  smallest  bit  in  a 
picture  if  1  thought  the  characterization  was 
worthwhile  and  would  give  me  experience." 

"Hut  you're  a  star.  Syd.  You  couldn't  do 
that !"  1  remonstrated. 

"That  makes  no  difference.  I'd  waive  the 
starring  thing."  he  replied.  And  I  looked 
closer  for  a  twinkling  gleam  of  the  Chaplin 
exes.     1  know  Svd.     But  there  was  none.    Or 


EAST  AND  WEST      tyCaiYvk 


Isn't  Katherine  MacDonald  being  just  a  wee  bit  chesty 
over  her  screen  return  in  "New  Loves  for  Old"?  The 
American  Beauty  has  been  away  from  us  for  a  long  time. 
It  wouldn't  do  for  her  to  come  back  in  a  small  way.  But 
still  .   .   . 


The  chicest  sheik  so  far,  Lewis  Stone.  The  screen's 
shown  young  sheiks  exclusively.  But  now  imagine 
Lewis,  backed  up  by  a  burnoose  and  a  desert,  poised  and 
wise,  and  those  fatal  grey  locks  against  his  temples! 
Wait  and  see 


else  the  matted  hair  and  ambush  mustache 
hid  it. 

That  sort  of  thing  isn't  in  the  scheme  of 
things.    Not  in  the  starry  scheme,  anyway. 

"But  you  wouldn't  do  it  for  ten  dollars  a 
day.  would  you,  Syd?" 

"  \"o,  of  course,  not!  They'd  have  to  pay  me 
plenty  for  it.  (Aha!  The  joker  is  played.) 
It's  money  I'm  working  for.  And  as  soon  as  I 
get  enough.  I'll  retire.  But.  if  they  paid  me 
enough  for  doing  a  bit,  I'd  gladly  do  it." 

Such  frankness  is  stimulating.  Most  of  'em 
say  they  slave  for  "Art." 

RUM  BLES  come  from  the  subterranean  pas- 
sages of  the  Hollywood  Athletic  Club, 
where  the  barber  shop,  baths  and  other  neces- 
sary establishments  to  the  beauty  of  mankind 
are  located,  that  the  changing  trend  of  men's 
fashions  has  had  a  devastating  effect  on  the 
dressing  gowns  of  the  male  stars  who  make 
their  residence  there. 

About  a  year  or  so  ago  our  cinema  heroes 
would  swank  to  their  favorite  barber's  chair  in 
the  glory  of  maroon  dressing  robes.  And  other 
he-mannish  colors,  such  as  brocaded  black,  with 
perhaps  a  gay  purple  coming  in  for  eye-browed 
inquiry. 

But  the  past  year  has  dealt  a  death-blow  to 
the  sombreness  of  men's  intimate  attire  and 
pale  pink  or  sky  blue  is  coming  into  vogue. 
They  do  say  that  Eddie  Burns  was  among  the 
first  to  flaunt  a  pale  pink  pregnoir.  which  ac- 
centuated the  raven  of  his  locks,  and  not  to  be 
outdone  George  O'Brien,  whose  god-like  phy- 
sique is  the  rave  of  Hollywood,  sauntered  into 
the  basement  barber  shop  in  a  bright  green, 
with  contrasting  satin  collar.  And  the  heavily- 
tasselled  cord  was  bound  twice  about  his  torso, 


with  the  end  flung  jauntily  over  his  right 
shoulder. 

Baby  blue  is  not  scorned  and  neither  is  that 
delicate  shade  of  jonquil  yellow.  I'm  waiting 
for  Bill  Powell  to  confess  to  a  robe  in  that 
ethereal  shade  of  orchid. 

Where  are  our  fashions  for  men  coming 
from?     And  going  to? 

"T'VE  got  a  new  name  for  my  old 
■*xar,"  declared  Paul  Powell,  whose 
"Prince  of  Pilsen"  has  revealed  a 
new  director  of  comedy. 

"What  is  it?" 

"True  love." 

"Why?" 

"Because  it  doesn't  run  smoothly !" 

IT  remains  for  Reggie  Denny  to  tell  you  the 
name  of  the  fair  damsel  about  whom  this 
paegyric  is  written.    He  told  it  to  me. 

The  girl  is  a  well-known  portraycr  of  flapper 
roles  who  has  talked  herself  into  and  out  of 
mi  ire  roles  than  even  Queen  Scheherazade  in 
her  heyday. 

Finally  a  director  took  it  upon  himself  to 
give  her  a  bit  of  friendly,  and  sound,  advice: 

"Look  here,  my  dear,"  he  counseled.  "You 
are  ruining  a  very  brilliant  career  by  your 
tongue. 

"You  talk  too  much!  You  wise-crack  too 
much!  You  have  a  lot  of  talent,  but  people  are 
afraid  to  hire  you.    You'd  better  stop  it." 

"I  know!  I  know!"  replied  the  girl,  peni- 
tently. 

"  But  I  just  can't  help  it.  Why,  I  even  spit 
on  traffic  cops!" 


T>  OSA  RUDAMI,  now  playing  Empresi  Josc- 
^-phine  in  F.  B.  O.'s  "When  Love  Grows 

Cold,"  sets  up  a  plaintive  wail.  You  sec  Rosa 
is  one  of  the  only  unbobbed  beauties  in  Holly- 
wood, now  that  Madge  Bellamy  and  Lillian 
Rich  have  shorn  their  locks.  Her  hair  is  long, 
luxuriant  and  wavy,  and  Rosa,  of  course, 
takes  great  pride  in  it.  That  is,  she  did  until 
she  received  a  letter  from  an  outspoken  fan 
who  saw  her  in  a  recent  picture. 

"What's  the  mailer  with  the  producers?" 
the  fan  queried.  "Why  don't  they  buy  you  a 
decent  wig?  The  one  you  wore  in  'The  Wed- 
ding Song'  is  a  fright." 

Rosa,  who  has  the  most  remarkable  eyes  you 
ever  saw,  is  searching  for  a  new  way  to  coil  her 
tresses. 

TT  was  Dorothy  Mackaill's  birthday  the  other 

-May — just  which  one  she  didn't  say—  and 
Dick  Barthelmess  gave  her  a  surprise  party 
over  at  the   Marshall    Xeilan  studios. 

All  the  magazine  and  press  representatives 
were  there  and  Dorothy,  w"ho  was  kept  in  her 
dressing  bungalow,  really  seemed  taken  by  sur- 
prise— or  something — maybe   it    was   em  I  ar 
rassment. 

There  was  a  200  pound  birthday  cake,  with 
twenty-one  candles  on  it  and  not  a  crumb  was 
left,  the  grips  and  electricians  being  called  in 
to  help  finish  it. 

Then  came  the  laugh  of  the  party.  A  hobby 
horse,  saddled  and  bridled,  was  wheeled  in  by 
Dick  and  Dorothy  had  a  nice,  safe  ride.  'I  he 
Sunday  before  she  had  gone  for  a  canter  on  the 
Beverly  Hills  bridal  path  and  her  mount  ran 
away.  Dorothy  vows  that  had  Jack  Mulhall 
not  ridden  to  her  rescue  she  would  surely  have 
been  severely  injured.    So  Jack's  a  hero  now. 


With  most  actors  character  acting  is  simply  a  chance 
to  strut.  Not  so  with  John  Gilbert  and  Roy  D'Arcy, 
two  of  the  screen's  finest.  Look  at  them  as  twin 
brothers  in  the  forthcoming  "Bardelys  the  Magni- 
ficent."     Aren't  they  fine? 


Apparently  it  takes  trick  music  to  soothe  Tony  Moreno. 
Tony's  pet  half-breed  instrument  is  this  Gene  Gory's 
playing.  It  is  called  a  violophone  and  it  was  created  by 
grafting  a  horn  on  a  fiddle.  How  does  it  sound?  You'll 
have  to  ask  Tony 


/^OLLEEN  MOORE  recently  took  a  party 
^— 'of  eastern  friends  down  to  Tia  Juana  over 
the  week  end  in  a  private  car.  She  chaperoned 
Dick  Barthelmess  and  Barbara  Bennett,  and 
among  her  other  guests  were  her  brother,  Clive 
Moore,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  M.  C.  Levee. 
Everybody  had  a  good  time,  including  Colleen 
— because  she  was  allowed  to  stay  in  the  car 
and  go  to  bed  every  night  at  nine  o'clock. 

A  DOLPHE  MENJOU'S  matrimonial  break 
•**-seems  to  be  a  final  one.  Though  there  has 
been  some  talk  of  a  reconciliation  since  his  re- 
turn from  New  York,  following  reports  of  Mrs. 
Menjou's  serious  illness,  there  seem  to  be  no 
grounds  for  it. 

Intimate  friends  of  the  couple  declare  the 
break  is  absolutely  final,  and  that  it  is  only  a 
matter  of  time  before  a  divorce  will  be  ob- 
tained, either  by  one  or  the  other. 

Of  course  in  any  separation  there  are  two 
sides  to  the  story,  and  both  are  being  told  in 
Hollywood  concerning  the  Menjous.  One  side 
is  that  Mrs.  Menjou  thinks  success  went  to  his 
head,  but  if  it  did  I  can  only  say  it  was  only 
in  his  home,  for  outwardly  he's  just  the  same 
hard-working,  concentrated  actor  he  always 
was.  The  other  is  that  Mrs.  Menjou  insisted 
on  running  her  husband's  business  affairs,  and 
that  he  wouldn't  stand  for  il. 

IF  it  weren't  for  Norman  Kerry,  Mickey 
Neilan  and  Lew  Cody  I  don't  know  what  we 
would  do  for  our  laughs  in  Hollywood. 

Here's  one  of  Norman's  latest. 

When  Constance  Talmadge  and  Alastair 
William  Mackintosh  were  married  they  re- 
ceived a  tlood  of  congratulatory  telegrams. 

Most  of  them  contained  the  customary  ex- 
pressions of  good  wishes. 

But  not  so  with  Norman's,     lie  wired: 

"Send  back  that  blue  enameled  wrist  watch. 
My  mother  always  said  1  was  foolish  to  spend 
money  on  you!" 


A  ND  at  the  Carl  Laemmle  testimonial  din- 
-*  *-ner,  Norman  scored  another,  but  with 
reverse  English. 

"When  Carl  Laemmle  first  came  to  Los 
Angeles,"  said  Donald  Ogden  Stewart  in  his 
after-dinner  speech,  "upon  the  site  where 
Universal  City  now  stands  there  was  an  insti- 
tution for  homeless  Germans,  a  menagerie  and 
an  insane  asylum. 

"So  he  took  the  menagerie  and  the  home  for 
homeless  Germans  and  Norman  Kerry  and 
started  producing  pictures." 

Of  course  Kerry  was  at  the  dinner  and  came 
in  for  an  unusual  amount  of  razzing. 

As  he  was  leaving  he  asked: 

"Why  do  they  ride  me  so  hard  when  they've 
got  Hoot  Gibson's  horse?" 

"DRYANT  WASHBURN'S  small- 
"^est  son  was  making  a  stumbling 
attempt  to  read  the  titles  in  a  picture 
show. 

Finally  he  made  out  the  word 
"triangle." 

"Mother,  what's  a  triangle?" 

"Hush,  son,  and  watch  the  pic- 
ture !" 

The  scene  showed  the  hero  and 
heroine  playing  with  a  little  dog. 

"Oh,  mother,  I  know  what  a  tri- 
angle is,"  chirped  the  lad.  "It's  a 
man  and  a  woman  and  a  dog." 

Not  bad  for  a  lad  of  seven,  eh? 

WENT  to  Marion  Davies'  house  one  even- 
ing for  a  dinner  party  and  to  attend  a 
preview  following.  It  was  a  wonderful  party 
and  a  lot  of  our  best  people  were  among  those 
present. 

During  the  dinner  lovely  hot  rolls  were 
served.  Hut  there  was  no  butter  on  the  table. 
l.ike  the  king  in  Milne's  "When  We  Were  Very 


Young" — "Nobody  could  call  me  a  fussy 
man.  I  only  want  a  little  bit  of  butter  on  my 
bread."  So  I  stalled  and  fidgeted.  So  did 
Dorothy  Mackaill.  who  was  my  dinner  partner. 
So  did  several  others  seated  near  us.  Then,  in 
desperation,  I  ate  the  roll  butterless.  "The 
butler  will  sure  catch  h —  later."  I  thought. 

After  dinner  I  casually  mentioned  the  butter 
oversight  to  my  talented  wife  and  was  laugh- 
ingly informed  that  it  was  no  longer  fashion- 
able to  serve  butter  at  dinner.  .All  fashionable 
folks  are  reducing  perhaps. 

Gee.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tony  Moreno  must  be 
old-fashioned,  for  the  lad  who  used  to  bring 
butter  to  our  house  confided  to  me  one  day 
that  the  Morenos  were  his  best  customer; — 
that  they  use  twenty-two  pounds  (I  think  it 
was)  a  week. 

I  sure  hope  they  ask  me  over  to  dinner  some 
time,  because  we're  fashionable  at  our  house 
now  — and  saving  quite  a  little  that  wax-,  too. 

Wish  women's  hats  would  go  out  of  style. 

T~V  1 )  you  ever  hear  of  an  '*  honorary  assistant 
■*--' director?  " 

Neither  did  I.  that  is  not  until  I  visited  the 
George  Fitzmaurice  set  and  saw  Manuel 
Reachi,  attache  of  the  Mexican  government  in 
Los  Angeles  and  husband  of  Agnes  Ayres.  oc- 
cupying a  chair  on  which  was  painted:  "Hon- 
orary Assistant  Director." 

Suppose  it  means  he's  working  for  the  honor 
of  it  and  not  for  pay.  Anyway,  Reachi  says  he 
joined  the  Fitzmaurice  company  to  make  a 
Study  of  the  motion  picture  industry. 

He  certainly  picked  a  capable  director  to 
learn  from. 

HERE'S  one  Keg  Denny  told  me  on  Ben 
Hendricks,  who  accompanied  Reg  on  a 
fishing  trip  into  Mexican  waters,  the  trip,  by 
the  way.  in  which  Denny  and  his  party  were 
reported  lost  in  a  terrible  storm,  which  re- 
cently swept  the  Pacific,  and  were  later  heard 


Rudy  and  Pola's  only  picture  together.  Will  Pola 
never  leam?  For  months  we've  been  fed  bushels  of 
mushy  printed  avowals  of  her  love  for  Valentino,  who 
now  seems  to  have  given  her  the  air  for  a  blonde 
Englishwoman 


The  ends  to  which  these  boys  will  go  for  their  art !  Be- 
hold Lew  Cody  all  puttied  out  as  Cyrano,  that  nosey  guy 
who  died  for  unrequited  love.  Lew  will  look  this  way, 
briefly,  in  "Toto."  And  Lew  purported  to  be  the  he- 
mannequin  of  Hollywood 


from  from  ;i  Mexican  port,  after  hope  of  their 
safety  had  been  abandoned. 

The  Denny  power  boat  was  moored  off  an 
island  and  they  were  having  great  sport  with 
shovel-nose  sharks. 

Hendricks  had  hooked  a  huge  one  and,  after 
a  battle  lasting  well  over  an  hour,  hauled  the 
exhausted  shark  up  to  the  side  of  the  boat. 

"  Pull  him  up  and  I'll  shoot  him,"  cried 
Denny. 

Which  he  did.  But  in  the  tail,  instead  of  a 
vital  spot. 

Suddenly  the  shark  came  to  life  and  the  light 
was  on  again. 

In  another  battle,  which  lasted  a  half  hour, 
Hendricks  again  won  and  again  Denny  offered 
to  shoot  the  giant  fish. 

And  again  the  bullet  sped — true  to  his  aim 
— into  the  shark's  tail. 

Off  again  dashed  the  shark  but  Hendricks 
had  had  enough.  Grabbing  a  knife,  he  cut  his 
line  and  the  battle  was  over. 

•"PHIS  fellow  Douglas  MacLean  certainly  is 
■*■  superstitious,  and  so  is  his  gang. 

They  signed  their  contract  with  Paramount 
on  Friday,  the  thirteenth;  began  their  new  pic- 
ture, "That's  My  Baby,"  on  Friday  and  fin- 
ished it  on  another  Friday. 
And  still  they  can  smile. 

TX  the  making  of  "Beau  Geste,"  by  Herbert 
■•-Brenon,  and  "Son  of  the  Sheik,"  by  George 
Fitzmaurice,  a  very  interesting  experiment  is  to 
be  tried  out.  Both  have  a  desert  setting  and 
are  planning  to  use  the  same  location,  near 
Yuma.  Arizona.  This  will  make  it  possible  to 
share  the  same  extras,  lights  and  other  camp 
equipment  to  a  large  extent  and  should  mean 
considerable  saving  in  production  cost.  As 
both  Fitzmaurice  and  Brenon  are  directors  of 
temperament  as  well  as  great  ability,  there  are 
many  in  the  industry  who  are  watching  to  see 
how  the  experiment  turns  out. 


Fitzmaurice,  who  is  row  doing  his  interiors 
at  the  United  Artists'  studio,  is  photographing 
Valentino  without  make-up.  I  was  admiring 
the  still  photographs  they  are  getting  on  the 
picture  and  was  surprised  to  learn  that  they  arc 
not  only  photographing  the  entire  picture  with 
panchromatic  film,  but  are  also  using  panchro- 
matic plates  for  the  production  stills.  It  makes 
possible  a  wealth  of  detail  such  as  I  have  never 
before  seen  in  stills. 

T_J"AVE  you  heard  this  one? 

Richard  Dix  told  it  to  me  and 
swears  he  didn't  crib  it  from  a  joke 
book.  Anyway  you  can  judge  for 
yourself. 

A  fellow  speeding  down  a  deserted 
country  lane.  He's  late  for  a  busi- 
ness appointment.  Going  down  he 
passes  a  lone  Ford.  On  his  return 
a  few  minutes  later  he  sees  the  Ford 
wrapped  around  a  tree  and  a  man 
lying  groaning  in  the  road. 

Stopping,  he  rushes  to  the  poor 
fellow's  assistance. 

"Hope  I'm  not  in  any  way  re- 
sponsible for  this  accident,"  says  the 
driver.  He  hasn't  seen  anyone  else 
on  the  road. 

"Well,  in  a  way  I  guess  you  are," 
says  the  injured  man.  "You  see  you 
went  by  me  so  fast  I  thought  my 
Ford  had  stopped.  Stepped  out  to 
crank  her,  and  this  is  what  hap- 
pened." 

IF  variety  of  occupations  is  the  spice  of  life. 
Antonio  Moreno  should  be  a  very  well 
pleased  young  gentleman.  For  in  his  next  pic- 
ture, "The  Temptress,"  Tony  must  learn  a 
new  dance,  enough  about  a  transit  to  act  like 


an  engineer,  and  master  the  bullwhip.  which 
Doug  Fairbanks  made  famous  in  "Don  Q." 

HTALK  about  realism  in  the  films! 
■*-      Here's  one  tops  anything  I've  heard  for  a 
long  time. 

Talking  to  Pat  Powers  the  other  day  about 
"The  Wedding  March,"  which  Eric  Yon  Stro- 
hcim  is  making  for  him,  and  Pat  told  me  he  had 
purchased  the  historic  coach  in  which  Arch- 
duke Francis  Ferdinand,  heir  apparent  to  the 
Hapzburg  throne,  was  riding  when  he  was  shot 
by  a  Serbian  officer  in  the  streets  of  Serajove, 
capital  of  Bosnia,  on  June  23,  1914. 

It  was  the  two  shots  fired  by  the  Serb  officer 
which  started  the  world  war. 

In  "The  Wedding  March"  Von  Stroheim 
will  reproduce  this  fateful  murder  and  Powers 
has  secured  the  very  coach  and  the  harness 
worn  by  the  horses  for  use  in  the  picture,  so  he 
says. 

T  CERTAINLY  am  fast  becoming  an  epicure. 
*■  Only  the  other  day  I  shared  some  marvel- 
ous buffalo  steaks  at  a  luncheon  at  the  Mont- 
martre,  at  which  Xoah  Beery  was  host. 
Don't  know  whether  Xoah  caught  the  buffalo 
himself  or  it  was  sent  him  by  an  admiring  fan, 
who  knew  where  a  herd  spent  the  night.  Any- 
way, I  don't  care,  for  it  was  great. 

Fating  buffalo  steak  didn't  take  much 
nerve. 

It  was  a  few  days  later  that  my  courage  was 
put  to  the  supreme  test. 

I  was  watching  George  Fitzmaurice  shooting 
some  scenes  with  Rudolph  Valentino  and  Yilma 
Hanky  for  "The  Son  of  the  Sheik."  When 
the  noon  whistle  blew.  Rudy  and  Iitz  invited 
me  to  stay  for  lunch  with  them.  Needless  to 
say  I  was  delighted,  for  they  are  both  epicures 
of  international  fame,  have  a  chef  and  charm- 
ing little  dining  room  and  everything  at  the 
studio.

The  story  of  a 
cinema  sinner  and 
a  small  town  girl 

By  Margaret  S.  Sangstcr 


II  \P  been  enjoying,  rather,  the  conversation  of  the  two 
flappers  who  occupied  the  table  next  to  me.  1  always 
listen  to  conversations,  if  possible — and  1  nearly  always 
enjoy  them!   One  may  learn  a  great  deal,  vicariously,  by 


listening,  especially  when  the  conversers  are  young  and  not 
too  cautious. 

The  flappers,  in  question,  were  not  too  cautious!  Typical 
of  their  age  and  generation,  they  were — hard  eyed,  hard 
lipped  girls,  who  talked  with  a  wisdom,  a  sophistication  that 
— despite  its  amusing  elements — at  times  quite  terrified  mc. 
When  they  veered,  suddenly,  to  motion  picture  gossip  I 
rather  feared  for  a  group  of  people  that  I  knew  and.  for  the 
most  part,  loved.  And  yet — I  listened  on.  It  is  interesting  to 
get  the  outsider's  viewpoint  upon  one's  friends.     .     .     . 

The  two  flappers — quite  unaware  of  me — warmed  to  their 
talk.  They  went  into  the  details  of  the  mystery  surrounding 
the  latest  Hollywood  scandal.  They  chuckled  over  the 
latest  Long  Island  marriage.  They  knew  the  rumors  that 
decorated  the  spectacular  filming  of  the  great  picture  of  the 
year — they  found  flaws  in  the  season's  most  gleaming  star. 
And  then,  all  at  once,  they  stopped  talking.  And  their  eyes 
grew  round  and  focused — suddenh — upon  a  point  beyond 
me.  And  one  of  them  forgot  her  veneer  of  breeding  and 
pointed — pointed  with  a  slim,  cruel,  over-manicured  finger. 

"See!"  she  exclaimed.  "See.  Do  you  recognize  her? 
Coming  in,  at  the  door.  In  black,  against  the  crimson  cur- 
tain. Isn't  she — exciting?  I — I  didn't  even  know,"  this  with 
a  sigh,  "that  she  was  in  town!" 

The  girl  who  had  not  pointed  ventured  a  question. 

"I  know  I'm  dumb,"  she  admitted,  "but  I'm  hanged  if  I 
can  place  her.  Picture  people  look  so  different  off  the  screen. 
Who—" 

The  first  flapper  was  frankly  disgusted.  Her  lifted  brows 
spoke  for  her.  It  was  only  after  a  poignant  moment  that  she 
answered. 

"Yes — "  she  agreed,  "you  are  dumb,  dearie,  you  are! 
Fancy  not  knowing  her.  Why,  she's  the  wickedest  woman  in 
the  movies — "  her  smile  curved  into  a  mean  little  blur  as  she 
leaned  close  to  her  friend,  and  began  to  whisper. 

But — she  didn't  have  to  speak  the  name  aloud.     Even 
before  I  turned  to  wave  a  greeting,  to  beckon  an  invitation, 
1  had  known  that  Marie  DuGanne  was  coming  slowly  toward 
my  table.     Slowly,  across  the  softly  carpeted  floor  of  the 
hotel  dining  room.    .     .     . 

She  had  changed,  so  greatly,  since  first  I  saw  her — Marie 
DuGanne.     Not — of   course — that  she  was  less  beautiful. 
The  passing  of  phantom  years  will  always  make  Marie  seem 
miraculously  younger,  fresher,  more  radiant!    But — well,  the 
woman  who  came  to  my  side,  who  pressed  my  hand  warmly, 
before  she  sank  into  her  chair — she  was  like  a  person  walking 
in  her  sleep.     Her  lovely  face  was  a  mask — her  smile  a  fixed 
thing,  charming,  but  without  a  spark  of  mirth  in  its  pseudo 
gayety.     Only  her  eyes — great,  sombre  eyes,  darkly,  surpris- 
ingly blue  between  their  black  lashes — were  aware  of  things, 
alive.     Only  her  eyes  displayed  the  emotion  that  she  felt  at, 
unexpectedly,  meeting  an  old  friend. 


rr 


In  b\ac\,  against  the  crimson 
curtain.  Isn't  she  exciting  ? 
Why,  she's  the  wic\edest 

woman  in  the  movies!"

rrOh,  you  mustn't I  love  him!     I  love  him! 


All  in  black  was  .Marie  DuGanne.  She  wears  black  nearly 
always.  Her  hat  was  Large  and  drooping — in  a  day  of  small 
felt  cloches  it  dared  to  shade  her  face  with  a  wide  brim.  Her 
dress  was  light  and  rather  long — it  had  a  high  neck  and 
sleeves  that  reached,  in  an  almost  medieval  point,  to  a  place 
well  beyond  her  slim  wrists.  Her  mouth,  boldly  painted,  was 
a  scarlet  lure — her  face  a  creamy,  rich  white.  And  her  hair — 
blue  black,  straight,  was  drawn  away  from  her  ears  and 
knotted  low  on  her  neck.  A  strange  type — but  a  few  years 
ago  a  casting  director  had  written  it  down,  quite  casually, 
as  "dark  Irish. " 

Why  not?  Marie  DuGanne  had  been  an  extra  then — and 
her  name,  upon  the  studio  books,  had  been  Mary  Dugan. 
Just  that — Mary  Dugan! 

IT  WAS  as  Mary  Dugan  that  I  first  knew  her.  As  a  little 
ambitious  girl,  working  on  the  greatest  lot  for  a  few  dollars 
a  day.  I  had  done  the  scenario  of  the  picture  in  which  she 
had  a  tiny  part — that  was  how  I  had  happened  to  be  there, 
too.  Between  shots,  the  director  and  I  talked  over  the  next 
picture  that  we  would  do — and  I  outlined  for  him  my  plot 
and  drew  for  him,  in  mental  images,  my  every  character. 

Of  course,  as  always,  the  next  picture  was  to  be  written 
about  the  slim  figure  and  the  golden  personality  of  a  certain 
star.  But — as  it  sometimes  does  happen — my  interest,  as  the 
writer,  had  focused  itself  upon  one  of  the  nearly  minor  roles. 
The  part  of  a  young  Spanish  girl,  convent  reared,  but  pos- 
sessed of  a  devil  that  tortured  her  soul  and  made  her  do  cruel, 
wicked  things.  This  role  called  for  a  person  of  the  Castilian 
type — a  young  person  aflame  with  what  the  French  call 
"joie  do  vivre. "  Slim  and  graceful  and  with  a  curious  shyness. 
And  yet,  almost  Hell-ridden  by  a  passionate  reaching  toward 
the  moon!  A  strange  conception  certainly — and  one  difficult 
to  locate.  A  female  Jekyll  and  Hyde  —  and  an  almost  ju- 
venile one! 

"If  we  find  the  right  person,"  the  director  said  to  me,  one 
day.  "she'll  take  the  picture  right  out  of  the  star's  hands. 
And  then  there'll  be  the  dickens  to  pay.  Wow!  But  the 
part — it  gets  me  just  to  think  of  it.  I'll  put  off  doing  the 
script  until  I  find  a  dark  Cinderella  .     .     .    ' 

It  was  a  very  warm  day.  The  sun  blazed  down  upon  the 
lot.    Wearily  I  passed  my  hand  over  my  head.   And — 

"This  child  of  my  brain, "  I  laughed,  "has  gotten  me,  too. 
I  want  to  see  her  live.  But — don't  let's  worry  about  her  any 
more,  right  now.  Let's  worry  about  finishing  this  sequence 
and—" 

The  director  chuckled. 

"  And  taking  a  dip  in  the  nearest  pool, "  he  finished,  for  me. 
And  then,  possessed  of  an  inspiration,  he  slapped  a  long  hand 
upon  a  bony  thigh. 

"I've  a  good  mind."  he  said,  "to  take  the  whole  gang  to 
the  beach — you  know  the  shot  where  there's  a  party  at  the 
shore?  Well,  we'll  never  have  a  hotter  clay  to  work  in — and, 
perhaps,  because  of  the  heat — some  of  these  water  shy  young- 
sters will  be  in  the  ocean  before  they  realize  it!" 

The  idea  took  with  the  crowd.  The  extras  gave  the  direc- 
tor a  parched  little  cheer — as  they  hurried  for  the  dressing 
rooms.   Pretty  soon  the  whole  crowd  were  in  cars,  on  the  way 
to  the  beach.     Slim  young  things  in  abbreviated  suits  that 
weren't  in  the  least  immodest,  somehow,  because  they  were 
worn  so  casually.  They  didn't  need  any  urging  into  the  surf. 
They  rushed,  hungrily,  to  meet  the  green  water.    The  waves 
closed,    like   sensuous   arms,   about  slender  bodies.     And   tri- 
umphantly, like  young  goddesses,   the  bodies  rose,   dripping, 
from  the  foam. 

It  was  as  she  leaned  back,  laughing,  with  her  face  to  the  sky — 
and  with  her  black  hair  wetly  outlining  her  oval  face,  and  her 
eyes  half  closed  against  the  white  dazzle  of  the  sun — that  1 
really  saw  .Mary  Dugan  for  the  first  time.  I  almost  screamed, 
in  my  delight,  and  turned  madly  toward  the  director.  But  1 
didn't  have  to  speak  to  him.  He,  too,  had  seen  the  girl — and 
he  was  starting  forward  with  arms  impetuously  out  thing. 

I  said,  really  saw  Mary  Dugan!  I  had  seen  her,  before,  upon 
the  lot — many  times.  Then  she  had  been  only  an  ordinary 
little  girl  with  rather  fine  eyes.  A  girl  with  hair  fluffed  about  her 
face  and  with  wide  skirts  and  round  necklines  and  sweaters 
transforming  her  lovely  body  into  something  quite  common- 
place.   Hut  here,  with  her  hair  off  her  white  forehead,  she  was  a 

50 


lady  of  old  Spain — in  miniature.  With  her  slimness  bending 
away  from  the  green  of  the  ocean  she  was  all  beauty.  Even  her 
white  hands  were  the  hands  of  an  aristocrat.  And  yet.  still, 
there  was  the  essence  of  childhood  about  her.  As  fresh,  as 
lovely  as  a  morning  in  early  spring. 

We  signed  her  up,  late  that  afternoon,  for  the  forthcoming 
picture.  She  was  dazed  with  delight,  but  she  recovered  sufh- 
cientlv  to  throw  her  arms  around  my  neck,  quite  suddenly,  and 
kiss  me.  1  felt,  then,  as  if  she  might  be  my  daughter.  I  feel  so, 
still,  at  times. 

The  next  day  the  publicity  man  changed  her  name  into 
Marie  DuGanne.  It  was  a  great  joke  to  us  all.  And  the  still 
photographer  made  some  portraits  for  the  press — and,  between 
us.  we  invented  a  history  to  form  background  for  the  latest 
"find."  We  discarded  her  small  beginnings — rather  pitiful 
they  were — for  Mary  was  a  little  orphaned  Irish  child  who  had 
beaten  her  way  up.  through  sheer  force  of  personality,  from  a 


.    .    .   You  can't  td\e   him  away  from  me!3 


city  slum.  We  discarded  her  beginnings  and  drew  her  against  a 
tapestry  of  flame  and  tears.  Her  ancestors  had  been  killed 
duelling.  Her  mother  had  been  a  Spanish  dancing  girl.  Her 
father  French — a  roue,  but  a  nobleman.  There  had  been  a 
suicide  pact.  They  were  both  gone.  Marie  had  been  educated 
by  the  Sisters  in  a  tiny  town  in  the  south  of  France.  She  had 
run  away,  at  sixteen — to  follow  her  mother's  career.  At  seven- 
teen— Hollywood. 

The  story  went  over  with  a  bang.  So — in  my  picture — did 
Marie  DuGanne. 

The  golden  star  had  hysterics  for  three  days,'  after  the  pre- 
view— but  the  director  stood  by  his  guns.  He  would  not  cut 
Marie's  part — not  a  foot  of  it! 

SOMETIMES  I  feel  responsible  when  I   think  back,  over 
those  first  days.    For  Mary  Dugan  had  been  such  a  glowing 
bit  of  womanhood — and  Marie  DuGanne,  have  I  not  said  that 


she  was  like  a  sleep  walker,  that  her  lovely  face  was  a  ma^k"-' 
But  sometimes  I  think  that  fate  dangles  us,  on  the  end  of 
wires,  as  Tony  Sarg  dangles  Marionettes.  Perhaps  fate — quite 
without  my  interference — would  have  made  Marie  DuGanne 
out  of  little  Mary  Dugan. 

We  chose  for  her  an  apartment — and  we  furnished  it  in 
bizarre  shades  and  exotic  draperies.  The  girl,  herself,  was  in 
the  golden  oak  period — she  could  not  understand  our  choice. 
We  bought  her  a  Russian  wolf  hound — the  dramatically  right 
dog  for  a  French-Spanish  lady  of  quality  to  own.  But  she  cried 
all  day  when  the  little  lame  mongrel,  which  she  found  on  the 
studio  lot,  and  kept  in  the  kitchen,  was  run  over  by  a  passing 
car.  We  installed  a  dark  browed  chaperon,  who  taught  gram- 
mar and  poise,  in  off  hours.  And  we  made  it  easy  for  the  girl  to 
say  "demi  tasse"  instead  of  "a  cup  o'  coffee,  please — an'  make 
it  black! "  All  this  we  did,  while  the  publicity  man  manufactured

THE    NATIONAL    GUIDE    TO     MOTION     PICTURES 

The 


SANDY— Fox 

WOMEN  and  girls  will  love  this  and  when  they  are 
safely  out  of  hearing  of  the  boy  friend  admit  how 
true  a  picture  of  the  modern  girl's  life  it  is. 

Sandy  is  a  flaming  youthful,  who  Charlestons  and  pets, 
with  a  code  of  morals  quite  clear  to  herself,  if  not  to  her 
parents.  She  marries  and  tries  to  be  worthy  of  motherhood, 
though  she  has  discovered  her  possessive  husband  an  awful 
person.  Her  baby  dies;  she  goes  searching  for  love  again  and 
gets  hurt  pretty  badly  in  the  whole  process. 

Such  is  the  story,  not  new  by  an}'  means,  but  here  so 
intelligently  directed  by  William  Beaumont  and  exquisitely 
played  by  Madge  Bellamy  that  it  is  not  merely  another 
flapper  film  but  a  human  document.  Harrison  Ford  plays  a 
very  human  lawyer  quite  perfectly. 


THE  BLIND  GODDESS— Paramount 

YOU  remember  Louise  Dresser  of  "The  Goose  Woman" 
fame — well,  she  is  back  with  us  again  in  a  role  somewhat 
similar  to  its  predecessor  and  her  performance  is  equally  as 
outstanding.  Here  she  lifts  an  ordinary  second  lead  role  to  a 
starring  part. 

Supporting  Miss  Dresser  (this  is  our  opinion  for  no  one 
in  the  cast  can  come  within  reach  of  her)  is  Esther  Ralston, 
Ernest  Torrence  and  Jack  Holt. 

The  story,  by  Arthur  Train,  is  a  mystery  yarn  and  filled 
with  all  the  ingredients  of  popular  appeal.  To  relate  the 
story  would  be  taking  the  spice  out  of  the  picture  and  we 
want  you  to  enjoy  this  whole-heartedly.  And  you  will,  for 
you  will  find  this  one  of  the  most  diverting  pictures  of  the 
Season.

A  Review  of  the  J\[ew  Pictures 


KIKI— United  Artists 

NORMA  TALMADGE  is  a  comedienne  now.  And  a 
comedienne  of  such  charm  and  whimsicality  that  you 
are  going  to  love  her  even  more  than  you  did  in  "Smilin" 
Through"  and  other  lachrymose  dramas. 

She  is  funny  and  sad  and  gawky  and  gay  all  in  one. 

And  once  in  a  rare  while,  just  to  show  you  she  still  can  cry. 
she  allows  you  to  see  a  glistening  tear  about  to  descend.  But 
it's  gone  in  a  moment  and  the  new  Norma  struts  across  the 
room  in  a  form-accentuating  skirt  and  hastily  thumbs  her 
nose  at  a  pursuing  landlady.  She  even  slides  down  the 
banister  and  indulges  in  a  hair-pulling  fight  with  Gertrude 
Astor,  with  whom  she  battles  for  Ronald  Colman's  cinema 
love. 

Norma,  you  see,  is  Kiki  of  the  widely-seen  stage  success. 
If  you  do  not  know  the  story  it's  all  about  an  awkward  little 
Paris  street  gamin  with  theatrical  inclinations,  fanned  to  a 
fervent  tlame  by  love  for  a  Parisian  theatrical  manager. 
admirably  played  by  Ronald  Colman.  But  Ronald  is 
enamoured  of  Gertrude  Astor.  his  leading  lady,  and  before 
Norma  wins  Ronald  she  battles  Gertrude,  succumbs  mo- 
mentarily to  the  able  wiles  of  Marc  McDermott,  who  plots 
with  Gertrude,  and  finally  lapses  into  a  tremendously  funny 
mock-fainting  spell  from  which  Ronald  is  called  upon  to 
revive  her. 

It's  from  the  French  farce  by  Savon* — with  a  script  by 
Hans  Kraely — and  the  cast  is  excellent,  which  means  funny 
George  K.  Arthur,  too. 

That  Clarence  Brown  of  splendid  "Goose  Woman"  fame 
directed  it.  speaks  for  itself.  Invite  the  children  over 
eighteen  to  go  with  you.

FOR  HEW  EX'S  SAKE— Paramount 

FOR  your  own  sake,  go  sec  this  Harold  Lloyd  production. 
It's  as  merry  as  a  summer  day  and  as  clean  as  April  and 
what  laughs  it  holds! 
"For  Heaven's  Sake"  proves  that  Harold  h  just  as  funny 

as  ever. 

The  plot,  which  doesn't  matter  in  the  least,  concerns  a 
man  with  a  mansion — that's  Harold — and  a  girl  with  a 
mission.  Jobyna  Ralston.  Harold's  so  rich  nothing  disturbs 
him.  He  wrecks  and  buys  ten  thousand  dollar  limousines 
with  equal  indifference.  Jobyna  and  her  minister  father  are 
so  poor  even-  doughnut  counts — for  they  feed  doughnuts  to 
the  poor. 

Harold,  slumming  about,  burns  up  the  coffee  stand  acci- 
dentally. He  gives  the  minister  a  check  for  $1,000  for  it, 
only  to  find  they've  built  a  whole  mission  with  that  much 
money  and  put  his  name  over  the  door.  He  goes  down  to 
stop  it  and  sees  Jobyna. 

Then  it's  all  over  but  the  fun. 

Wait  till  you  see  Harold  trying  to  eat  a  powder  puff,  think- 
ing it's  a  cookie  Jobyna  has  baked;  wait  till  you  see  him 
recruiting  a  congregation  for  the  mission,  stopping  at  noth- 
ing short  of  murder  to  get  a  crowd.  You'll  laugh  until  the 
tears  stinging  your  eyes  and  the  pain  in  your  ribs  force  you 
to  stop. 

And  if  you've  ever  driven  a  car.  go  see  what  they  do  to  a 
traffic  cop. 

The  gags  are  all  wows.  The  direction  by  Sam  Taylor  is 
intelligent,  but  then  we've  only  praise  for  the  whole  thing. 

Take  the  entire  family  to  see  it  and  then  you  won't  need 
to  spend  money  on  spring  tonics. 


THE  FLAMING  FROSTIER- Universal 

ANOTHER  absorbing  tale  of  the  Old  West,  which  i-  as 
spectacular  and  historically  significant  as  "The  ( lovered 

Wagon."    It  carries  out  the  spirit  of  pioneer  America 

Edward   Sedgwick,   who  is  credited   with   the  authorship 

and  directorship,  has  approached  the  subject  with  a  tine 
appreciation  of  its  patriotic  flavor,  its  sweeping  pathos,  and 
besl  of  all,  its  historical  accuracy. 

The  Pony  Express,  West  Point  in  1875,  the  Indian  up- 
risings and  the  famous  battle — Custer's  Last  Stand  —  all 
these  thing>  are  Logically  worked  out.  their  details  perfceth 
interlocked,  the  whole  forming  a  splendid  piece  of  workman- 
ship. The  picture  is  peopled  with  red-blooded  characters 
enacted  by  a  cast  that  is  perfectly  adaptable.  Be  sure  the 
children  see  it ! 


THAT'S  MY  BABY— Paramount 

SIXTY  minutes  of  farce  coined}-  fairly  dances  across  the 
screen  with  Douglas  MacLcan  demonstrating  that  he  is 
blessed  with  an  abounding  sense  of  humor  and  a  fine  care- 
lessness of  method  that  are  too  rare. 

How  we  laughed  from  the  start  to  the  conclusion!  The 
story  is  about  a  young  man  who  is  turned  down  by  his 
sweetheart  on  the  day  of  their  marriage.  lie  vows  that  no 
woman  shall  enter  his  life  again — but  you  know  that's 
applesauce.  Of  course  it  eventuates  into  another  romance 
and  the  picture  is  over. 

Harry  Earles,  who  was  so  delightful  in  "The  Unholy 
Three,"  has  a  small  part  and  he  is  a  scream.  Again  he  i>  a 
child  and  some  of  his  mischievous  pranks  are  as  thrilling 
as  they  are  amusing.  All  in  all  there  is  not  a  dull  moment 
through  the  entire  picture — be  sure  to  see  it!

THE  VOLGA  BOATMAN— Producers  Dist.  Corp. 

CECIL  DE  MILLE  has  woven  into  his  newest  picture 
much  that  is  typically  artificial.  As  usual  he  fails  to 
reach  your  heart  and  the  efforts  at  humor  fall  flat.  Yet  the 
strength  of  the  theme  behind  its  thin  story  and  the  beautiful 
composition  and  photography  lift  it  above  the  ranks. 

It  is  the  story  of  a  Prince,  Victor  Varconi;  a   Princess, 
Elinor  Fair,  and  a  Volga  Boatman,  William  Boyd. 


THE  NIGHT  CRY— Warner  Bros. 

YOU  need  not  be  a  dog  fancier  to  enjoy  Rin-Tin-Tin  in 
his  latest  and  finest  vehicle.  Rinty's  histrionic  efforts  will 
keep  you  amused  and  make  you  marvel.  It  is  plainly  seen 
that  the  story  has  been  built  around  the  personality  of 
this  wonder  dog.  Rin,  a  victim  of  circumstantial  evidence,  out- 
classes his  good  name,  saves  his  master's  baby  and  kills  the 
real  enemy  of  the  sheep  fold.  Excellent  for  the  kiddies. 


RED  DICE— Producers  Dist.  Corp. 

ADAPTED  from  an  Octavus  Roy  Cohen  story,  this 
twisted  melodrama  of  crooks,  bootleggers  and  a  desper- 
ate soldier,  who  agrees  to  die  at  the  end  of  a  year,  provided 
the  year  is  made  luxurious,  is  swift-moving  and  frequently 
amusing.  Yet  somehow  at  the  end  it  seems  cheap  and  im- 
probable. Rod  La  Rocque  is  sincere  as  the  soldier  and 
Marguerite  de  la  Motte  sweet  as  the  bride. 


THE  CATS  PAJAMAS— Paramount 

SHE  isn't  a  Barry  heroine  in  this.  She  has  graduated  into- 
bedroom  comedy.  Ernest  Yadja  wrote  a  tantalizing 
comedy  as  only  a  continental  can  and  they  gave  it  to  an 
American  director  and  put  Betty  Bronson  of  seraphic  appeal 
into  the  role  of  the  pajamaed  heroine.  Whatever  the  result 
Theodore  Roberts  is  back  with  us,  Arlette  Marchal  is  gor- 
geous to  look  upon  and  Ricardo  Cortez  is  very  capable. 


THE  SEVENTH  BANDIT— Pathe 

A  SPLENDID  Western  that  grownups  and  children 
should  not  overlook.  There's  something  about  this 
fella  Harry  Carey  that  gets  us.  Harry's  pictures  always 
ring  true.  He's  always  the  fast  riding,  quick  thinking,  sure 
shooting  and  hard  lighting  guy  that  always  gets  his  man  re- 
gardless of  circumstances.  The  supporting  players  are  good 
— James  Morrison,  Harriet  Hammond  and  Trilby  Clark. 


YELLOW  FINGERS— Fox 

IF  this  newcomer,  Olive  Borden,  isn't  one  of  the  leading 
stars  within  the  next  year,  then  we're  no  judge  of  talent. 
To  our  liking  she  has  everything — beauty,  ability  and  IT 
personified.  Her  performance  here,  as  a  half-caste,  is  excel- 
lent. This  also  marks  the  return  to  the  screen  of  Ralph  Ince, 
formerly  a  director.  The  story — East  is  East,  etc.,  y'know 
— old  stuff  but  you'll  enjoy  it  because  of  Olive. 


THE  CROWN  OF  UES     Paramount 

Poor  Tola,  she  has  our  sympathy.  About  two  more 
pictures  like  this  and  as  far  as  the  movie  public  is  con- 
cerned, slu-  w  ill  be  through.  It  may  not  be  her  fault,  unless  she 
insist;,  on  the  impossible  vehicles  she  travels  in.  Pola  is  still 
as  interesting  and  as  beautiful  as  ever  and  we  are  anxiouslj 
looking  forward  to  the  proposed  combination  of  Von 
Stroheim  and  Pola.    \  es  sir.  we'll  bet  that  will  be  a  picture. 


THE  RUN  wi  \)     Paramount 

Til  IS  William  de  Mi  IK-  production  starts  with  an  actress 
and  a  director  come  from  Broadway  to  Virginia  <>n  lo 
tion,  quarreling  in  a  hotel  room.  An  accidental  shot  i^  fired. 
The  girl  runs  away,  fearing  trial.  Rushing  to  cover,  Bhe 
meets  a  mountaineer,  who  takes  her  to  his  mother's  home. 
( >i  course,  love  comes.  Good  entertainment,  finely  acted 
by  Clara  Bow,  Edythe  Chapman  and  Warner  Baxter. 


MY  OLD  DUTCH— Universal 

HERE  is  a  stirring  story  with  splendid  picturization 
values  but  through  negligence  it  does  not  seem  to  gain 
the  sympathy  it  warrants.  It  makes  pleasant  drama  but 
falls  short  of  greatness  that  would  seem  possible.  This 
seems  to  be  due  largely  to  the  lack  of  stress  on  the  big 
moments.  Too,  the  characters  move  around  casually  with 
no  feeling  whatever  in  their  roles.     Fair. 


WILD  OATS  LANE— Producers  Dist.  Corp. 

A  FAIRLY  interesting  crook  drama.  Xeilan  has  done  an 
unusual  thing — instead  of  building  his  action  around  a 
number  of  incidents  he  has  developed  his  story  more  by  his 
characters.  This  at  times  becomes  very  tiresome  and  one 
wishes  that  as  long  as  it  deals  with  crooks,  why  not  stage  a 
little  shooting  episode  for  excitement?  Viola  Dana  is  good 
as  is  Bobbv  Agnew.     Not  for  children. 


THE  BARRIER— Metro-Golduyn 

THIS  presents  the  novel  by  Rex  Beach  which  was  popular 
many  years  ago.  Since  then  the  plot  has  been  re-hashed 
from  many  different  angles  with  the  result  that  the  story  is 
looked  upon  as  old  stuff.  Nevertheless  the  theme  of  the  half- 
caste  always  makes  an  interesting  story  (even  if  it  is  old) 
and  through  the  splendid  acting  and  some  thrilling  storm 
scenes,  it  makes  splendid  entertainment. 


SECRET  ORDERS— F.  B.  O. 

GOOD  entertainment.  The  spy  system,  as  introduced  in 
Anthony  Paul  Kelly's  "Three  faces  East."  is  again 
served  for  your  entertainment.  In  this  case  Evelyn  Brent  is 
the  woman  spy  and  we're  here  to  say  the  girl's  good. 
Evelyn  makes  the  most  of  every  opportunity  afforded  her. 
John  (lough  is  clever  with  his  comedy  antics.

SUGGESTIONS 


Contestants  should  study  the  poems  appearing  in  connection 
with  the  cut  puzzle  pictures.  These  are  the  indicators  for 
identifying  the  contest  puzzle  pictures  and  winning  prizes. 

Contestants  will  note  that  identifying  numbers  appear  at 
the  margin  of  the  cut  puzzle  pictures.  These  numbers  may 
he  copied  upon  the  cut  portraits,  with  pencil  or  pen,  so  that. 
in  pasting  or  pinning  the  completed  portrait,  it  will  be  possible 
to  show  the  way  the  cut  pieces  originally  appeared. 

58 


As  no  solutions  may  be  entered  before  the  fourth  set  of 
puzzle  pictures  appears,  it  is  suggested  that  contestants  merely 
pin  their  solutions  together  until  the  conclusion.  This  will 
permit  the  shifting  and  changing  about  of  pictures  as  the  con- 
test progresses — and  will  give  time  for  lengthy  consideration 
and  study. 

Each  cut  puzzle  picture  is  a  portrait  of  a  well-known  motion 
picture  actor  or  actress.

The  hair  is  the  mother  of  one  little  girl,       . 

The  eyes  were  once  colled,  "Declasse" — 
The  mouth  is  now  hailed  as  the  find  of  the  year, 

She  takes  after  her  daddy,  they  say. 
The  hair  has  a  sister  who's  known  to  the  screen, 

The  eyes  played  in  circus  plays  twice; 
The  Inouth  was  once  married  to  filmland's  new  shiek, 
They're  divorced — though  they're  both  very  nice! 


Herb  Howe  says  the  hair  has  that  something  called  "chare 

The  eyes  almost  starred  with  a  whale; 
The  mouth  is  twice  married — but  slightly  aloof — 

And  her  beauty  makes  strong  men  turn  pale! 
The  hair's  from  a  state  famed  for  cowboys  and  steers. 

The  eyes  worked  for  Cecil  de  Mille — 
The  mouth  is  so  sought  by  an  army  of  swains, 

It's  a  wonder  she's  unengaged  still! 


RESCUE 


Two  of  them  are  blonds — and  the  others  leas  light — 

Two  of  them  remain  etill  unwed. 
And  two  owe  their  fortunes  to  old  Nm>  Orleans. 

(And  one  was  a  dancer,  'tis  said.) 
And  two  have  come  up  from  old  Vitagraph  days. 

And  two  hare  arrived  tia  more  recent  pJuj/.v 


The  hair  is  an  idol  on  stage  and  on  screen, 

The  eyes  drive  a  car  mighty  fast: 

The  mouth  in  three  features  (the  best  of  the  year!) 

Made  a  name  and  a  rep,  that  will  last. 

The  hair  was  a  soldier  who  flew  through  the  sky, 

The  eyes  are  now  wed  to  a  poet — 

The  mouth  played  with  Norma  in  many  a  film. 

His  name?  Oh,  you're  joking — you  know  it! 


The  hair  is  unmarried — and  not  very  young- 

The  eyes  were  divorced  from  their  mate, 

The  mouth  hails  from  England,  and  it  has  been  said 

He  can  beat  any  man  of  his  weight! 

The  hair  starred  with  Mfte  and  with  Lillian  Gish. 

Thp  eyes  are  as  blue  a*  the  sea; 

The  mouth  once  played  comedy  on  the  legit.. 

Though  he's  tragic,  today,  as  can  be. 


RESUME— 


One  comes  from  the  family  beet  known  to  the  boards. 

And  one  has  a  real  Iriih  namt; 

And  two  are  old  timert — and  two  are  quite  new 

To  that  which  is  known  as  screen  fame. 

Just  one  has  dark  eyes — the  three  others  are  liuht — 

And  one  made  his  '  hit"  in  a  serial  fight. 


Her  name  suits  her  more  perfectly  than  any  other  screen  player's — ReneeAdoiee. 
Wise  and  witty  for  too  long  this  lovely  mam'selle  was  hid  beneath  indifferent  stones 
"The  Big  Parade"  liberated  her  and  the  fans  and  Herb  Howe,  across  the  page,  adore  her. 


A  e  Genius  Enchantini 


Her  name  is  Rcnee 
de  la  Fointe  -the 
French  named  her 
Adoree  and  she  is 
here  rechristened 
Amoreuse 

By  Henry  Wilson 


A  TINY  French  doll  in  fleshlings  and  pink  ballet 
fluff  tossing  like  a  rose  on  the  back  of  a  great 
white  horse,  in  the  ring  of  a  little  French  circus — 

bounding  and  pirouetting  on  the  back  of  the  horse,  then 
sinking  to  her  knees,  then  up  again  and  through  a  hoop 
thatV  held  by  the  clown,  her  lather.  Her  foot  catches 
in  passing  through  and  she  stumbles  a  little.  The  ring- 
maker's  long  whip,  with  a  lead  in  the  end,  cuts  through 
the  air  and  ilicks  out  her  flesh.  She  winces,  then  quickly 
smiles  and  kisses  her  hand  to  the  crowd.  There  is  no 
place  for  pain  in  a  circus  even  though  you  arc  a  child  and 
the  flesh  is  bleeding.  .  .  . 

Rcnee  de  la  Fointe  was  the  child's  name,  but  the 
French  rechristened  her  Adoree,  Renee,  the  Adorable.  .  .  . 

Riding  out  of  the  tent  to  applause  she  springs  off  the 
horse,  quickly  pulls  on  boy's  clothes  and  is  back  with  a 
broom  to  police  up  the  ring.  . . .  She  reappears  at  the  close 
of  the  show  with  her  sister  to  dance  in  the  ballet.  .  .  . 

Bare-back  rider,  trapeze  performer,  ballet  dancer  and 
chore  boy,  the  petite  Adoree  took  her  beatings  and 
smiled  in  her  tears  for  applause.  .  .  . 

Those  smiling  tears  are  still  in  her  eyes,  a  dewy  gleam 
in  the  blue,  such  as  Greuze  knew  how  to  paint,  sur- 
rounded by  upturned  lashes  like  the  rays  of  the  sun. 
Adoree  is  a  Greuze,  with  an  added  touch  in  the  sweet- 
ness, a  tragic  touch  brushed  on  by  life. 

We  thought  we  knew  what  love  was,  then  Adoree 
came  in  "The  Big  Parade"  and  all  the  loves  that  had 
gone  before  appeared  but  cheap  flirtations. 

Those  scenes  between  her  and  Gilbert  are  among  the 
finest  the  camera  has  yet  transcribed. 

What  is  the  element  in  Adoree's  emotion  that  dis- 
tinguishes her  from  all  other  enchanters?  Poignancy, 
concentration,  the  genuineness  of  her? 

"Hunger?" — says  Adoree — "Hunger.  The  yearn- 
ing for  something  too  beautiful  to  touch.  Something 
beyond  the  daring  of  belief.    That  is  love." 

1  can  tell  you  in  a  word  what  it  is.  The  love  por- 
trayed by  Adoree  is  the  consecrated  love  which  is 
romance,  the  love  that  transcends  flesh  and  passes  into 
ideal.    Adoree's  love  is  adoration. 

In  a  single  glance  she  dedicates  her  soul.  There  is  no  need 
for  gesture  nor  for  word.  She  looks  at  her  lover  and  sees  a 
god.  The  veritable  God  in  him.  It  is  a  look  that  would  thrill 
a  man  even  though  he  did  not  love  her. 

"It  is  respec',"  she  says  so  fervently  that  her  English  takes 
again  the  colors  of  French.  "You  wan'  to  know  why  love  is 
dying  in  the  world?  It  is  because  women  do  not  respec'  men. 
I  s'pose  you  know  that?"  she  flings  passionately,  tossing  out  a 


Here    is   Renee    as    Melisande, 
that  piquant,  compelling,  un- 
hand.     "The    modern         forgettable  darling  of  "The  Big 
woman  does  not  respec'  Parade,, 

man.  That  is  the  trouble 
with  marriage.  I — I  re- 
spec' men"— Then  a  mocking  laugh — "That  is  why  I  make 
such  a  success  of  my  marriage,  eh?"  Her  marriage  with  Tom 
Moore  was  ended  by  divorce,  without  bitterness  or  recrimina- 
tion. The  only  reason  given  was  that  mysterious  modern 
thing,  called  incompatability.  [coktixued  on  pace  134]

Ladies !  Look 


The  men  will  anyway  and  a  girl  ought 
to  be  prepared.     Hence  these  pictu 


res 


No,  this  is  not  the  first  step  of  the  Charleston.    This 

is  the  way  too  many  flappers  stand.     Careless  and 

jaunty,  they  claim  this  slant  on  life.    But  so  was  the 

leaning  tower  of  Pisa — and  look  at  it  now! 


Legs  go  in  the  same  direction  and  should  be  together. 

When  so  far  apart,   as  above,  one  is  apt  to  knock 

over  a  chair  and  wake  mother  when  their  owner  is 

stealing  home  from  a  dance  at  three  a.  m. 


On  the  other  hand,  or  rather  leg,  a  nice  girl  stands 
this  way.  Remember  that  line  about  "standing  with 
reluctant  feet  where  the  brook  and  river  meet1'?  If 
there  was  a  brook,  this  would  illustrate  it,  if  there 
was  a  river 

r>n 


Rear  elevation  of  same  nice  legs.  A  rule  to  be  re- 
membered is  that  a  seam  must  always  follow  the 
straight  and  narrow.  The  only  curves  permitted  in 
stockings  are  those  that  the  legs  supply.  Given 
those,  nothing  else  reallv  matters 


to  Your  Legs ! 

She  was  a  Sennett  bathing  beauty  who 
posed  and  she  had  great  understanding 


A  girl  who  toes  in,  unless  she  lisps  and  keeps  one 
finger  in  the  corner  of  her  mouth,  never  gets  any- 
where.    In  other  words,  if  you're  a  cutie  beautiful, 
try  this  out  on  your  front  porch 


The  riddle  is  changed  now  from  why  does  a  hen  cross 

the  road  to  why  does  a  flapper  cross  her  legs — in  this 

manner?     A  Sennett  beauty  wouldn't  sit  this  way 

ordinarily.   For  this  picture  and  art  she  does  it 


Sweet  and  low,  that's  what  these  legs  are.  The  knees 
have  retired  from  public  life,  the  feet  are  shy  and 
modest.  This  is  a  pose  that  even  the  sourest  maiden 
aunt  would  approve.  Correct,  and,  wonder  of  won- 
ders, also  comfortable 


Sitting  position  to  accompany  the  proper  standing 
position  across  the  page.  Recommended  before 
twenty  and  after  forty,  to  fiancees  trying  out  before 
his  mother  and  to  sweet  things  who  can't  imagine 
what  big  prices  on  the  menu  are  all  about

The  Lovely  ^oung  Daughter  of 

Mrs.  Jerome  Napoleon  Bonaparte 


UST  a  year  and  a  halt 

ago,  Miss  Barbara  Stre- 

:igh,  charming  blonde 

;butante  daughter  of 

Mrs.  Jerome  Napoleon 


points  out  that  the  care  of  the  skin 
is  an  important  social  duty 


Bonaparte,  made  her  bow  to  society. 

She  adored  the  deluge  of  social  events  that 
followed.  But  Barbara  Strebeigh  also  loves 
the  out-of-doors.  So,  after  a  brilliant  season 
of  dinner-dances,  costume  balls,  charity  bazaars 
and  after-theatre-supper-parties,  she  bought  a 
trunkful  of  smart  new  clothes  and  went  West 
to  that  gorgeous  winter  playground  that 
stretches  along  the  California  coast  from  San

"  rT~'HERE  is  one  personal  obligation  that 
-L  follows  a  girl  wherever  she  goes — the 
careof  her  skin.  With  Pond's  Two  Creams 
this  is  easily  accomplished.  Swiftly  and 
surely  they  work  to  keep  the  skin  exquisite. 
That  is  why  their  use  has  become  a  habit 
with  the  girls  of  the  younger  set." 

-$~  o 

use  them  yourself  every  single  day  as  follows: 
First  Step:  Whenever  your  skin  needs  cleansing, 
apply  Pond's  Cold  Cream  generously.  Leave 
it  on  a  few  moments  so  that  its  pure  oils  may 


(  '                     I 

penetrate  every  pore.  With  a  soft 
cloth  wipe  off  the  Cream— and  such  a 
lot  of  dirt  comes,  too,  you'll  notice! 
Repeat  the  treatment,  finishing  with 
a  dash  of  cold  water  or  a  rub  with  ice 
to  close  the  pores.  On  retiring  give 
your  skin  this  same  thorough  cleansing  with 
Pond's  Cold  Cream  ami,  if  your  skin  is  dry, 
leave  some  of  the  cream  on  until  morning. 
When  you  waken,  your  face  will  be  clear,  fresh, 
and  tree  trom  lines. 

Second  Step:  After  every  cleansing  With  Pond's 
Cold  Cream  except  the  bedtime  one,  smooth  over  your 
skin  a  wee  trifle  of  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream.  You 
will  love  the  soft  even  finish  it  gives  your  skin,  the 
velvety,  glowing  tone.  And  you  will  notice  that 
your  powclcr  clings  to  your  skin  with  a  new  smooth- 
ness,  and  that  it  stays  on  too.  Used  before  you  go 
out,  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream  protects  your  skin 
from  hot  sun  and  wind  and  from  the  harsh  grit 
of  soot  and  dust. 

Begin  todav  to  follow  the  method  pursued  by  the 
beautiful  younger  women  of  society.  Pond's  Cold

Red  Hair  and  A  Piano  • 


By  Allen  Prewitt 


THIS  is  a  story  about  Holly- 
wood, shamrocks,  ambition, 
struggle,  achievement,  and  more 
particularly,  about 

Ethel  Shannon  and  a  family 
piano. 

Ethel  is  one  of  the  brave 
little  girls  who  have  stormed 
the  gates  of  Hollywood  suc- 
cessfully. If  it  weren't  such 
a  terribly  mixed  metaphor, 
I  would  say  that  she  did  it 
with  the  piano  in  one  hand 
and  a  lock  of  her  luscious 
red  hair  in  the  other. 

There  is  no  use  to  try  to 
tell  you  about  Ethel's  red 
hair,  for  the  words  just 
wither  up  and  refuse  to 
tackle  the  job.  This  much  I 
can  tell  you,  though,  that 
she  hated  it  when  she  was  a 
kid  because  the  other  young- 
sters teased  her  and  called 
her  Red,  and  shouted  this 
doggerel  at  her: 
Red  head,  ginger-bread, 
Five  cents  a  cabbage  head. 

Sometimes  she  had  to 
whip  them  for  that,  for  she 
is  Irish,  and  her  anger  and 
her  joy  flash  up  with  the 
brilliance  and  speed  of  light- 
ning. 

Now  that  she  has  grown 
into  young  womanhood,  her 
red  hair  is  one  of  the  beauti- 
ful sights  of  Hollywood,  to 
be  pointed  out  along  with 

Mary  Pickford's  home,  the  palm  trees  and  roses  in  the  winter 
time. 

But  I  can  tell  you  about  the  family  piano.  Incidentally, 
I  think  it  one  of  the  most  appealing  stories  I  have  heard  in 
Hollywood. 

Ethel  was  seventeen  and  had  just  graduated  from  Woolcott's 
fashionable  finishing  school  in 
Denver,  which  city  also  has 
the  distinction  of  being  her 
birthplace.  She  yearned  for  a 
career  and  she  yearned  to 
make  money,  for  the  family 
had  had  financial  reverses. 
She  turned  her  eyes  to  the 
modern  Mecca  of  the  world — 
Hollywood.  But  mother 
wouldn't  listen  to  her  daughter 
going  off  into  the  world,  so 
Ethel  sold  the  family  piano. 
She  got  only  $135  for  it.  It 
was  worth  more,  but  she 
wanted  a  quick  sale  with  no 
questions  asked. 

With  this  money  our  heroine 
went  to  San  Erancisco,  which 
is  about  five  hundred  miles 
from  Hollywood.  She  wasn't 
quite  sure  where  the  movies 
were  made,  except  that  they 
came  from  California.  She  ad- 
mits that  this  was  stupid  of 
her,  but  she  was  very  young

Wlien  Bull  Meets  Bull-thrower 

TTERE'S  a  story  of  unfilmcd  humor  that  marked 
the  production  of  a  motion  picture. 

A  Latin  type  of  leading  man  was  cast  for  a  role  in  a 
bull  fight.  The  arena  was  built  with  a  special  exit 
handy  for  the  actor  in  case  the  bull  took  matters  too 
seriously. 

The  actor  was  timid  and  didn't  care  for  the  scenes 
where  he  had  to  annoy  the  bull.  He  shied  every  time 
the  bull  even  looked  his  way. 

Finally  the  director,  exasperated  by  much  loss  of 
time  and  wasted  film,  yelled:  "Do  something! 
Show  a  little  nerve!" 

"But  what  shall  I  do  if  the  bull  shows  a  little  nerve 
too?"  pleaded  the  actor  from  behind  the  arena  gate. 

"Moo  like  a  cow  and  maybe  he  will  kiss  you,"  was 
the  rejoinder  of  the  now  infuriated  director. 


then,    and    has    learned    a   lot    since. 
She  didn't  have  enough  money  to 
take  her  to  Hollywood,  so  she  looked 
about  for  a  job.      In  response  to  an 
advert i>ement    for    a    shipping    clerk, 
she  applied,  but  was  told  that  a  man 
was    wanted.      She    insisted    so    elo- 
quently that  she  got  the  job 
and     held     it     for    several 
months,  despite  (or  maybe 
because  of)  her  diminutive 
size    and    charming    femi- 
ninity. 

Then  she  became  a  tele- 
phone operator  and  learned 
to  give  wrong  numbers  and 
talk  back  to  the  customers. 
By  economical  living  she 
managed  to  save  enough 
money  to  buy  a  nice  ward- 
robe and  a  railroad  ticket 
to  Los  Angeles,  with  eleven 
whole  dollars  left  over. 

When  Ethel  arrived  in 
Los  Angeles  she  realized 
that  she  would  have  to  con- 
serve her  funds,  so  she 
walked  to  the  Sennett  stu- 
dio, a  distance  of  several 
miles,  and  applied  for  work. 
Strangely  enough. she  found 
it  the  very  first  time,  and 
was  employed  as  an  extra. 
Her  blue  eyes  danced  for 
joy.  and  her  red  hair  took 
on  an  even  redder  and  more 
exultant  hue. 

Stranger  still,  she  was  se- 
lected to  play  a  lead  op- 
posite Bert  Lytell  in  "  Easy 
to  Make  Money"  after  she 
had  been  in  Hollywood  only 
three  weeks.  She  was  now 
willing  to  believe  that  the  title  was  literally  true,  in  her  own 
case.  She  contined  to  believe  so  until  the  picture  was  finished 
and  she  found  herself  unable  to  get  any  more  parts,  even 
though  she  had  given  a  good  performance. 

Erin's  plucky  little  daughter  tucked  her  pride  away  in  her 
make-up  box  and  went  back  to  playing  extras,  but  she  told 

herself  and  the  other  extra 
girls  that  she  had  no  intention 
of  staying  there. 

News  reached  her  that  Bill 
Hart  was  looking  for  a  leading 
woman.  She  looked  him  up, 
and  Bill  told  her  that  the  part 
required  a  very  emotional  ac- 
tress who  could  cry.  The  girl 
was  so  excited  that  she  began 
to  cry  and  let  loose  a  lachrymal 
flood  that  was  a  miniature 
Johnstown.  She  got  the  part! 
A  scene  in  this  Hart  picture 
stated  that  the  leading  woman 
should  jump  into  the  river. 
A  "double"  had  been  pro- 
vided, but  Ethel  became  so 
engrossed  in  her  acting  that 
she  plunged  into  the  water. 
The  "double"  ta  man  dressed 
in  woman's  clothes)  rescued 
her.  They  fished  her  out  and 
filmed  a  scene  of  her  as  she  lay 
on  the  dock.

The  Well  Dressed  Man  • 


in  Hollywood 

A  few  tips  from  the  style  dictator  who  Knows 


London  dictated  men's  fashions. 
Then  Paris  tried  it.  Now  comes 
Hollywood  with  Lew  Cody  as  the 
he-mannequin.  Lew  here  displays 
the  spring  business  suit 


IN  Hollywood  Eddie  Schmidt  is  the 
oracle  of  fashion  where  men's  clothes 
are  concerned. 
Schmidt  sets  the  styles  and  makes 
the  clothes  for  the  best-dressed  men  on 
the  screen  and  they,  in  turn,  set  the  styles, 
not  only  in  Fargo,  N.  D.,  and  Oskaloosa, 
but  all  over  the  world.  A  list  of  Eddie 
Schmidt's  clients  would  read  like  a  roster 
of  stars  and  leading  men  in  pictures. 
He  makes  clothes  for  Adolphe  Menjou, 
Reginald  Denny,  Lew  Cody,  Richard 
Dix,  George  Fitzmaurice,  Jack  Mulhall 
and  oh!  what's  the  use — just  pick  out 
your  favorite  actor  and  it's  10-to-l  that 
Schmidt  is  his  tailor. 

Here  are  a  few  hints  from  Eddie  to  the 
well-dressed  man  of  today: 

An  essential  part  of  present  day  tailor- 
ing is  to  build  up  a  man  to  emphasize  his 
height.  This  is  done  by  shorter  coats  and 
waistcoats,  which,  in  turn,  give  the 
fashionable  length  to  the  trouser  line. 

He  sure  your  tailor  gives  you  a  small, 
tight  hipline  on  the  coat,  built  up  to 
square  shoulders,  made  as  broad  as 
vour  height  will  stand.     With  the  short 


After  six,    Lew   discards    his 

business  suit  in  favor  of  this 

dinner  coat 


Or  feeling  less  formal,  he  changes 
to  a  square  shouldered  lounge  suit 
of  Shetland  fleece  with  smart  patch 
pockets,  short  coat  and  cuffless 
trousers 


coat  goes   the  medium  short  waistcoat. 

Your  trousers  should  be  high-waisted 
and  worn  with  suspenders.  The  trousers, 
which  are  being  worn  quite  full,  may  be 
made  either  with  or  without  a  cuff,  but 
the  cuff  makes  them  hang  better. 

Schmidt  emphasizes  that  the  particular 
man  cannot  be  too  careful  of  a  straight 
tight  waistline  to  his  coat  and  that  it 
should  shoot  up  and  out  from  the  top 
of  the  waistline. 

Watch  out  for  a  break  behind  the  collar. 
You  cannot  have  a  well-fitting  coat  with 
this. 

Never  take  a  suit  out  of  a  tailor  shop 
unless  you  are  perfectly  satisfied  with  it 
and  are  comfortable  in  it. 

You  will  never  look  well  if  vou  do  not 
feci  well. 


The  interested  gentleman  with  his 
back  against  the  wall  is  Eddie 
Schmidt,  whose  tailoring  has  made 
many  a  star.  Kneeling  before  Lew's 
splendor  is  C.  F.  Bergman.  Eddie's

You,  yourself,  rarely  know 
u  hen  you  have  halitosis  (unpleas- 
ant breath).  That's  the  insidious 
thing  about  it.  And  even  your 
closest  friends  won't  tell  you. 

Sometimes,  of  course,  halitosis 
comes  from  some  deep-seated  or- 
ganic disorder  that  requires  pro- 
fessional advice.  But  usually — 
and  fortunately — halitosis  isonly 
a  local  condition  that  yields  to 
the  regular  use  of  Listerine  as  a 
mouth  wash  and  gargle.  It  puts 
you  on  the  safe  and  polite 
side.  Morever,  in  using 
Listerine  to  combat  hali- 
tosis, you  are  quite  sure  to 
avoid  sore  throat  and  those 
more  serious  illnesses  that 
start  with  throat  infections. 

Listerine  halts  food  fermenta- 
tion in  the  mouth  and  leaves  the 
breath  sweet,  fresh  and  clean. 
Not  by  substituting  some  other 
odor  but  by  really  removing  the 
old  one.  The  Listerine  odor  itself 
quickly  disappears. 

This  safe  and  long-trusted  an- 
tiseptic has  dozens  of  different 
uses;  note  the  little  circular  that 
comes  with  every  bottle.  Your 
druggist  sells  Listerine  in  the 
original  brown  package  only — 
never  in  bulk.  There  are  four 
sizes:  14  ounce,  7  ounce,  3  ounce 
and  I  jounce.  Buy  the  large  size 
for  economy.  —  Lambert  Phar-

the  object  of  this  new  way  which  is  chang- 
ing the  hygienic  habits  of  the  world. 

The  trying  situations  of  yesterday  become 
the  incidents  of  today.  You  wear  your 
sheerest  frocks,  your  gayest  gowns;  you 
meet  the  social  exactments  of  every  day 
without  a  moment's  doubt. 

Do  you  wonder,  then,  that  8  in  every  10 
of  women  in  the  better  walks  of  life  now 
employ  it?  It  will  make  a  great  difference 
in  your  life.  It  is  basically  different  from  any 
other  way  you  have  ever  known. 

Three  new  advantages 
This  new  way  is  Kotex,  the  scientific  sani- 
tary pad.     Nurses  in  war-time  France  first 
discovered    it.      It    is    made    of    the    super- 
absorbent  Cellucotton. 

It  absorbs  and  holds  instantly  sixteen 
times  its  own  weight  in  moisture. 

It  is  five  times  as  absorbent  as  ordinary 
cotton  pads. 


Each   Kotex  pad  is  deodorized  by  a  new 
secret   disinfectant.    Think   of   the   amazing 
protection  this  feature  alone  gives! 
["There  is  no  bother,  no  expense  of  laundry. 
Simply  discard  Kotex  as  you  would  waste 
[paper — without  embarrassment. 

You  can  get  it  anywhere,  today 

If  you  have  not  tried  Kotex,  please  do.  It 
will  make  a  great  difference  in  your  view- 
point, in  your  peace  of  mind  and  your  health. 

60%  of  many  ills,  according  to  many 
leading  medical  authorities,  are  traced  to 
the  use  of  unsafe  and  unsanitary  makeshift 
methods. 

Thus  today,  on  eminent  medical  advice, 
millions  are  turning  to  this  new  way. 

A  fair  test  will  convince  you  of  its  advan- 
tages beyond  all  question.  No  other  method 
will  ever  satisfy. 

Kotex  comes  in  sanitary  sealed  packages 
of  12,  in  2  sizes:  the  Regular  and  Kotex- 
Super.  At  all  better  drug  and  department 
stores,  everywhere.  Cellucotton  Products

A  Man  of  Talents 


"The  daily  lives  of  all  of  us  ought  to  be 
tinned  with  beauty.  Beauty  is  the  compensa- 
tion for  the  hardships,  struggles,  heartaches 
of  life. 

"Of  course,  it  is  impossible  for  most  of  us  to 
live  the  kind  of  life  the  ancient  Greeks  thought 
ideal — a  lazy,  contemplative  existence  in  the 
midst  of  abundant  beauty.  Even  they  had 
helots,  those  bondsmen  who  had  to  do  all  the 
disagreeable  work.  But  beauty  ought  to  figure 
like  the  movements  of  a  symphony  through 
all  our  lives. 

TT  doesn't ,  simply  because  the  cardinal  crime 
-•-of  the  industrial  age  is  that  it  does  not  take 
into  consideration  the  aesthetic  needs  of  the 
soul  and  the  spirit. 

"So  we  go  the  swift  and  colorless  pace. 
Work.  Speed.  Crowds.  Smoke,  big  buildings, 
factories. 

"Work.  A  dull  pattern  of  living.  Nose  to 
the  grind-stone.  Beauty  tucked  away  in  books, 
in  the  gardens  and  art  galleries  of  the  rich, 
in — dreams. 

"Thus  it  comes  about  that  poor  humans 
seek  compensation. 

"They  find  it  in  motion  pictures. 

"The  motion  picture  is  the  anodyne. 

"  l.aml  of  Hearts'  Desire. 

"Here  the  men  and  women  whose  lives  are 
monotonous,  common  place,  frustrated,  un- 
happy, unsatisfying,  can  find  theil  counter- 
parts—their proxies— those  glad  and  joyous,

they  watch  the  waxing  of  the  magic  wand. 
And  see  themselves  emerge  metamorphosed 
into  a  beautiful,  satin-clad  Princess,  or  a  hand- 
some, uniformed  Prince,  a  banker,  a  man  about 
town,  gardenia  boutonniere  and  all.  or  a 
society  girl  in  bizarre  and  elegant  clothes. 

"What  does  it  matter  if,  eventually,  the 
dream  fades  out,  and  they  come  back  to 
actuality  again? 

"For  a  brief  space,  for  a  few  hours,  they 
have  been  transported  to  another  land — the 
land  of  Make-Believe,  the  Land  of  Dreams 
Come  True. 

"Unreal  and  transient.  But  better  than  no 
dream  world  at  all! 

"When  I  first  left  college  1  came  to  New 
York,  and  was  soon  a  leading  man  in  the 
legitimate.  My  home  was  in  Chicago,  and 
so  I  knew  well  the  typical  life  of  the  dweller 
and  worker  in  a  big  city.  Even  New  York, 
where  I  was  tasting  success,  depressed  my 
spirits.  I  felt  vaguely  that  something  was 
lacking  and  then  my  Destiny  moved  me  to  the 
Coast. 

"I  entered  my  work  in  motion  pictures  with 
a  keen  sense  of  responsibility.  It  was  like 
getting  into  a  game,  a  serious  game,  of  Make- 
Believe. 

"When  my  role  called  for  the  wearing  of 
immaculate  evening  clothes.  1  tried  to  wear 
them    (with   a    swagger)    because    that    hook- 


keeper  on  his  high  stool  in  the  office  back  in 
Xew  York  would  wear  them  that  way.  Cast 
as  a  hero,  ready  to  die  for  the  woman  I  loved. 
I  tried  to  play  it  with  intensity  and  daring, 
for  the  packer  in  that  soap  factory  in  Chicago 
would  like  it  played  that  way. 

"Anodyne!  Compensation!  Land  of  Hearts' 
Desire!

Those 

Charming 

Forties 

are  but  the  natural  reward 
of  youth  safeguarded,  as 
thousands  will  tell  you, 
in  this  simple  way 


•yOUTHFUL  charm  lost  is 
■*■  the  supreme  tragedy  in  a 
woman's  life.  For  once  lost,  it 
rarely  is  regained.  But  youth 
retained,  as  experts  know  and 
urge,  is  quite  a  different  mat- 
ter. That  can  be  done  and  is 
being  done  by  women  every- 
where today.  Start  now  with 
the  simple  skin  care  printed 
at  the  right.  What  comes  in 
youthful  charm  and  skin  clear- 
ness will  amaze  you. 


YOUTH  at  forty  means  caution 
at  twenty,  extreme  care  through 
the  thirties . . .  and  rigid  avoidance  of 
untried  ways  every  day  of  one's  life. 

Thus  modern  beauty  culture  turns 
now  to  natural  means,  and  frowns 
on  the  artificial  and  often  danger- 
ous ways  of  yesterday. 

The  scientific  skin  care  of  today 
starts  with  the  proved  doctrine  of 
pores  kept  open,  of  the  skin  cleansed 
daily  with  the  balmy  lather  of 
Palmolive. 

It  is  a  simple  method,  but  certain 
in  results,  and  what  it  is  bringing  to 
millions,  it  will  bring  to  you. 

This  is  the  method.    Follow  it,  please,  for 
one  week . . .  note  the  difference  then 

Wash  your  face  gently  with  sooth- 
ing Palmolive.  Then  massage  it 
softly  into  the  skin.  Rinse  thor- 
oughly, first  with  warm  water,  then 


with  cold.  If  your  skin  is  inclined 
to  be  dry,  apply  a  touch  of  good 
cold  cream  —  that  is  all.  Do  this 
regularly,  and  particularly  in  the 
evening. 

Use  powder  and  rouge  if  you 
wish.  But  never  leave  them  on  over 
night.  They  clog  the  pores,  often 
enlarge  them.  Blackheads  and  dis- 
figurements often  follow.  They 
must  be  washed  away, 

Avoid  this  mistake 

Do  not  use  ordinary  soaps  in  the 
treatment  given  above.  Do  not 
think  any  green  soap,  or  represented 
as  of  olive  and  palm  oils,  is  the 
same  as  Palmolive. 

And  it  costs  but  10c  the  cake!  — 
so  little  that  millions  let  it  do  for 
their  bodies  what  it  does  for  their 
faces.  Obtain  a  cake  today.  Then 
note  what  an  amazing  difference 
one  week  makes.

Problems 


THE  rosiness  of  dreams  as  contrasted  to 
the    drabness    of    reality;    the    ease    of 
dreams,     contrasted     to     the     work     of 
achievement. 

How  many  of  you  girls  write  me  on  that 
problem.  You  send  long  letters  telling  of  the 
happiness  you  get  lying  back  in  a  chair  vision- 
ing  yourselves  rich,  beautiful,  besieged  by 
suitors,  and  you  wonder  and  wonder  if  that  is 
the  way  to  go  about  life. 

It  isn't. 

"Dear  Carolyn,"  writes  Betty  L.,  "are 
dreams  the  way  out  of  the  unfairness  that  life 
seems  to  hold?  I'm  just  seventeen  and  I  find 
that  when  I  dream  of  a  party  and  live  over  in 
my  mind  what  is  going  to  happen  it  is  always 
much  more  lovely  than  what  actually 
does  happen .  Because  of  th at  I've  nearly 
given  up  going  out  with  other  girls  and 
boys.  Sometimes  I  get  very  lonely. 
Sometimes  I  wish  I  weren't  this  way. 
Is  it  wrong  to  live  in  the  world  of  your 
imagination?   Tell  me  what  to  do. " 

Betty,  dear,  I  tell  you  to  snap  out  of 
it.  Just  that.  The  land  of  day  dreams 
is  fair  and  wonderful — and  more 
treacherous  than  quicksand. 

No  person  can  build  a  successful 
life  without  imagination.  Everything 
comes  to  those  who  dream,  if  they 
dream  constructively.  It  is  not  the 
dreaming  that  counts,  not  the  imagi- 
nation that  counts,  but  the  quality 
of  it. 

Consider  the  cow.  She  stands  for 
hours  in  a  fair  held  and  chews  her  cud. 
Then  she  lies  down  and  chews  her  cud. 
Then  she  stands  up  again.  So  her  days 
go  by.  Her  bovine  eyes  are  the  dream- 
iest in  the  world.  But  look  at  her  and 
her  social  position! 

Too  many  of  us  act  like  spiritual 
cows. 

Nothing  comes  to  the  dreamer  who 
dreams  and  dreams  vaguely,  uselessly 
and  far  away  from  reality  except  old  age,  dis- 
content,   spiritual    loss    and    restlessness.     A 
dreaming  mind  is  really  a  lazy  mind. 

But  you  can  make  your  dreams  work  for 
you.  You  can  turn  them  into  pure  gold  of 
love,   romance,   friends  and   worldly   success. 

Here's  how.  If  you  use  your  dreams  to 
persuade  yourself  that  you  are  better  than  this 
world  and  therefore  unadaptcd  to  cope  with  it, 
you're  sunk.  Hut  if  you  will  chain  those 
dreams  down  to  reality,  if  you  will  use  them  to 
figure  out  how  you  can  rise  out  of  your  present 

82 


surroundings,  how  to  win  the  treasures  on 
earth  you  desire,  you  will  come  up  as  inevitably 
as  flowers  in  the  spring. 

Oh,  my  dear  girls,  train  your  young  imagi- 
nations to  be  your  servants,  not  your  masters. 

When  you  have  mastered  yourself,  you  have 
mastered  the  world.  You  are  managing  life 
instead  of  life  managing  you.  Don't  dream  on 
your  back.  Dream  on  your  feet,  ready  to  run 
at  the  first  beckoning  of  opportunity.  Think  of 
yourself  in  the  future  as  charming  and  rich  and 
wise,  but  meantime  prepare  yourself  for  that 
happy  state.     Mastering  yourself  means  such 


Pamphlet  on  Reducing 

Following  the  announcement  that  I  would  send 
specific  instructions  on  diet,  skin  troubles,  or  any 
other  beauty  problem,  I  have  been  so  deluged  with 
requests  that  as  yet  it  has  been  absolutely  impos- 
sible to  comply  with  all  of  them. 

The  majority  of  the  letters  have  asked  for  in- 
structions on  diet  and  reducing.  To  comply  with 
these  I  have  had  printed  a  new,  eight-page  pam- 
phlet, illustrated  with  exercises  that  help  you  reduce 
in  a  sane  manner.  The  price  of  this  booklet  is  ten 
cents.  All  other  beauty  advice  will  be  sent  on 
receipt  of  a  stamped,  self-addressed  envelope. 

To  those  of  you  who  have  written  me  and  not  yet 
heard  from  me,  I  ask  you  to  wait  just  a  little  longer. 
Not  one  of  your  letters  has  been  lost  and  you  will, 
every  one  of  you,  get  a  personal  reply.

small  things  as  being  on  time  at  the  office;  in 
being  willing  to  do  more  than  your  share; 
in  being  as  courteous  and  charming  as  the 
most  courteous  person  you  know;  in  being  neat 
and  tidy  and  in  good  health;  of  choosing  your 
clothes  carefully  and  of  watching  your  diet. 

The  truth  is  that  too  many  people  are  not 
worth  a  single  bit  more  than  the  space  they 
take  up  on  earth,  and  hardly  that.  To  be  a 
distinctive  individual  really  requires  very  Utile 
beyond  the  will  to  work,  the  will  to  charm,  and 
even  the  will  to  love. 


Use  your  head.  Dream  in  the  terms  of 
thought  and  action.  Use  your  feet  to  move 
swiftly.  Use  your  good  manners  to  help  the 
other  girl  or  boy  and  thus  establish  funds  of 
friendships  and  loyalties  for  yourself  against 
the  time  when  you  may  need  them  badly.  Be 
brave.  Have  the  courage  of  your  own  con- 
victions, after  you've  checked  them  off  against 
the  convictions  of  some  older,  wiser  person 
whom  you  respect. 

The  heights  are  yours,  youngsters,  if  you 
want  them.  But  remember,  nobody  ever 
climbed  to  them  on  a  chaise  longue. 

An  Ugly  Dlxklixg. 

You  are  not  ugly,  you  know.  In  the  little 
photograph  you  sent  me  I  see  sensitive 
features  and  fine  eyes.  Ugliness  is 
much  more  a  mental  than  a  physical 
matter.  I  could  name  you  a  long  list 
of  women  from  George  Sand  to 
Madame  de  Stael  who  were  what  the 
world  calls  very  homely,  and  yet  they 
won  fame  and  fortune.  George  Sand, 
whose  real  name  was  Amadine  Dude- 
vant,  had  a  long,  heavy  face,  but  her 
intelligence  so  brightened  it  no  one 
ever  noticed  its  homeliness.  Thought, 
care  and  attention  to  grooming  and 
diet  can  lift  a  girl,  with  features  as 
good  as  yours,  into  the  "pretty  "  class. 
The  mannish  bob  has  a  tendency  to 
accentuate  the  features  and.  therefore, 
I  think  it  might  be  better  for  you  to 
wear  your  hair  a  little  fluffy  about 
your  face.  You  can  wear  ivory  and 
cream  white;  mahogany  and  Xegro 
browns;  dark,  warm  reds;  terra  cotta 
and  buff  and  apricot:  pink  in  warm 
and  pale  colors.  You  are  not  too 
heavy  for  your  age.  so  don't  worry 
about  dieting.  Wear  simple,  straight 
line  dresses  in  either  one  or  two  pieces. 
When  washing  your  face  cleanse  it 
well  around  the  nose,  chin  and  fore- 
head. These  are  the  danger  spots  for  almost 
any  one  and  a  little  extra  attention  will  go  far 
toward  effecting  a  blackhead  cure. 

Norma,  Los  Angeles. 

Your  skin  must  be  quite  oily  or  you  wouldn't 
have  so  much  trouble  with  blackheads.  I 
would  advise  you  to  cut  down  on  the  use  of 
creams  and  apply  more  soap  and  water.  The 
two  preparations  you  have  been  using  are  both 
excellent,  although  I  agree  with  you  that  the  first 
is  pretty  expensive.   [CONTINUED  ox  page  105  ]

More  beautiful  this  year,  more 
perishable,  the  care  you  give 
them  is  so  important .  .  . 

FROCKS  of  silk  and  flannel  tor  sports — of  course! 
And  now  a  new  fabric  — rayon — appears.  This 
season  the  coutouriers  are  using  it  in  so  many,  many 
ways.  Alone  or  skilfully  combined  with  flannel,  linen, 
cotton,  even  silk  itself! 

This  season  marks  a  new  brilliance  in  color,  too. 
Pastel  shades  are  giving  way  to  their  brighter,  bolder 
sisters — color  is  the  keynote! 

All  the  lovelv  new  underthings  of  silk,  crepe  de 
chine,  rayon  —  hosiery,  too — are  exquisite, unusual  in 
coloring — various  enough  to  match  each  and  every 
frock ! 

And  oh!  how  frail!  You  hesitate  at  first  to  pur- 
chase—  then  you  remember  Lux — and  delightedly 
bear  off  the  loveliest  things  of  all! 

For  years  Lux  has  faithfully  guarded  your  fine  things — 
your  fragile  silks  and  laces,  your  delicate  woolens.  Its 
bubbling,  foaming  suds  gently  cleanse  the  most  perishable 
fabrics,  refresh  the  most  delicate  colors  without  harm. 
That  is,  of  course,  if  pure  water  won't  harm  them!

Three 
Little 
Girls 

from  Paramount^ 

OCnOOl  and  also  from 
Massachusetts.  They  are, 
from  left  to  right  and  in 
public  and  private  life, 
Thelma  Todd,  Dorothy 
Nourse  and  Jeanne  Mor- 
gan. Graduates  of  the 
Zukor-Lasky  Seminary, 
they  are  under  contracts 
at  $75  a  week 


HAS  Paramount  discovered  where  beautiful  girls  are  most 
numerous? 

In  choosing  eight  girls  for  the  Paramount  school  from 
more  than  25,000  applicants,  officials  of  that  company  found 
that  three  of  their  eight  hand-picked  beauties  came  from  one 
state — the  state  of  Massachusetts. 

There  was  a  blonde  girl,  Thelma  Todd,  and  a  dark  girl, 
Dorothy  Nourse,  and  a  girl  of  medium  colored  hair,  Jeanne 
Morgan,  and  they  all  hailed  from  the  district  that  the 
Pilgrims  first  stepped  on. 

Thelma  Todd,  the  blonde  beauty,  had  been  a  school  teacher, 
which  is  what  beautiful  girls  are  all  too  apt  to  become  in  New 
England.  Came  a  beauty  contest  and  Thelma  was  chosen 
Miss    Massachusetts.      The    Paramount    people    saw    her    in 


this  stately  duty  and  immediately  grabbed  her  for  their 
acting  academy. 

Dorothy  Nourse  came  from  Boston,  the  town  of  the  bean 
and  the  cod.  At  sixteen,  she  was  clerking  in  a  department  store 
and  picking  up  the  pin-money  by  being  a  fashion  model  and  a 
city  winner  of  beauty  ballots.  Not  yet  eighteen,  she  is  the 
Paramount  school's  youngest  graduate. 

Jeanne  Morgan,  however,  onlv  squeezed  into  the  Massachu- 
setts menage  during  the  last  six  years.  Prior  to  that  time, 
Jeanne  lived  in  Port  of  Spain,  Trinidad.  British  West  Indies. 
Jeanne  had  played  a  leading  part  in  an  amateur  movie  and  a 
bit  in  the  "Vanities"  during  their  Boston  run  before  she  came 
to  the  big  Astoria  schoolhouse  to  learn  how  to  make  her  green 
eves  behave.

It  was  only  when  we  were  seated  that  I 
learned  the  piece  de  resistance  was  snails.  I"d 
often  heard  of  people  eating  snails — also  of 
Indians  scalping  people — a  good  yarn  if  true — ■ 
but  here  I  was  right  up  against  it  myself. 

I  was  game!  Had  to  be,  for  no  one  could 
offend  two  such  charming  hosts.  So  I  ate  the 
snails.  And  honestly  they  weren't  half  bad. 
And  the  sauce  was  great. 

Of  course  I  didn't  let  them  know  this  was  my 
first  meeting  with  a  snail  and  a  great  time  was 
had  by  all  present. 

/""^UR  military  schools  are  a  great  thing  to 
^-'develop  patriotism. 

There  is  one,  the  Hollywood  Military  school, 
which  is  attended  by  the  sons  of  many  promi- 
nent picture  folk  and  here  young  Hill  Reid,  son 
of  Mrs.  Wallace  Reid,  was  recently  enrolled. 

Hill  thinks  going  to  a  "soldier  school"  is 
great,  and  certainly  takes  it  seriously. 

The  other  day  Mrs.  Reid  and  Bill  had  their 
car  parked  in  front  of  a  radio  store.  Just  as 
they  were  pulling  out,  the  strains  of  "The  Star 
Spangled  Banner"  sounded  over  the  radio. 

Up  stood  young  Bill — as  straight  as  he  could, 
considering  the  top  of  the  car — and  remained 
at  attention  as  long  as  he  could  hear  a  single 
bar  of  the  selection.  And  he  was  quite  enraged 
at  his  mother,  because  she  did  nol  stand  up 
too.  The  fact  that  Mrs,  Reid  was  driving  the 
car  at  the  time  didn't  excuse  her  in  young 
Bill's  eyes. 

/^HALK  up  one  for  Lambert  Hillyer, 

^-*  Was  over  on  llillwr's  set  the  other  day 
watching  him  direct  Anna  Q,  Nilsson  in  "Miss 
Nobody."  Sinclair  Lewis,  known  to  his 
friends  as  "Red"  and  to  the  general  public  as 

86 


one  of  our  greatest  authors,  was  with  me  and 
taking  a  "close-up"  of  the  industry. 

Lewis  had  just  returned  from  San  Francisco 
and  was  telling  me  about  a  move  to  have  an- 
other Statue  of  Liberty  on  the  west  coast — 
at  the  Golden  Gate,  in  San  Francisco. 

Hillyer  overheard  it  and  suggested: 

"Why  build  it  at  the  Golden  Gate,  in  San 
Francisco?  I  think  it  would  be  far  more  fitting 
to  erect  it  on  the  top  of  the  new  Los  Angeles 
county  jail." 

As  prisoners  have  been  escaping  at  will, 
picking  the  locks  with  forks,  spoons  or  what 
have  you,  ever  since  the  new  bastile  was  occu- 
pied, both  Lewis  and  I  were  forced  to  agree 
that  the  L.  A.  County  Jail  was  the  place  for  it. 

"DIG  Butter  and  Egg  Men  from  the 
"^West  are  no  longer  in  vogue  with 
the  Hollywood  flappers.  If  you  want 
to  buy  them  a  meal  nowadays  you've 
got  to  convince  them  you're  a  "Big 
Land  and  Swamp  Man  from  Flor- 
ida." Lew  Cody  is  my  authority  for 
this  and  Lew  ought  to  know. 

ANT)  speaking  of  Cody  reminds  me  of  an 
experience  he  had  one  night  when  making 
a  personal  appearance  at  a  Woman's  Club 
Benefit.  Lew.  who  is  one  of  our  very  best  little 
persona]  appealers  and  is  much  in  demand  as 
toastmaster  or  after  dinner  speaker,  enter- 
tained his  audience  on  this  occasion  with  some 
anecdotes  about  Conrad  Xagel  and  his  little 
daughter. 

After  the  benefit  he  was  approached  by  an 
elderly   gentleman]    who   said:    "You    must 


know  Conrad  Xagel  very  well.    I'm  his  father.'' 

"Yes,"  answered  Lew,  "I'm  very  fond  of 
Conrad.    We  did  a  picture  together  recently.'' 

"  Funny  I  don't  remember  seeing  you  on  the 
screen.  I  go  to  all  of  Conrad's  pictures.  What 
was  the  one  you  worked  with  him  in?" 

" Lawful  Larceny!" 

"My!  My!"  exclaimed  Xagel  senior.  "I've 
seen  that  picture  three  times  and  can't  even 
remember  your  face." 

Tough  on  Lew  for  he  only  had  the  stellar 
part. 

BLANCHE  SWEET  has  just  recovered  from 
a  serious  illness,  but  is  all  right  once  more 
Of  course  nobody  knew  anything  about  it  until 
it  was  all  over — that's  Blanche's  way. 

A  LTHOUGH  the  engagement  has  not  been 
■**-announced,  there  seems  to  be  a  pretty 
definite  idea  that  it  exists  and  that  George 
O'Brien  and  Olive  Borden  may  celebrate  a 
wedding  almost  any  day  now. 

You  know  George  has  been  such  a  "man's 
man"  and  so  entirely  indifferent  to  women 
that  everyone  was  beginning  to  wonder  if  he 
was  a  bachelor  for  life. 

But  since  the  day  little  Olive  Borden  first 
came  on  the  Fox  lot  all  that  has  been  com- 
pletely changed.    They  certainly  make  a  strik- 
ing  looking   couple — saw   them   dancing 
gether  up  at  the  Lafayette  recently. 

TOM  MIX  made  a  personal  appearance  at  a 
Los  Angeles  theater,  where  one  of  his  pic- 
tures was  showing  the  other  evening.  I  hap-

you     have     Used     cold     cream,     you 
have    never   removed    it,   and    iis 
accumulation    of    dirt,    entirely 
from    your    skin    .  .  .    you    have 
never    removed    it    in    gentle 

safety   to  your   skin. 

May   wc   give   you   a   7-day 
supply, without  charge, to  tr\  ? 

It    is    not    a    cloth,    not    a 
makeshift,  but  an  entirely  >;rT«.' 
kind  of  materia!.    It  contrasts 
•he  harshness  of  fibre  or  tis- 
sue methods  with  a  softness 
that   you'll   love.     It  ends  the 
"soiled  towel"  bother 

A  scientific  creation 

We    are    makers    of    absorbents 
are    world    authorities    in    this    field. 

On  the  urge  of  a  noted  derma- 
tologist, we  started  out  to  perfect  a 
thorough  remover  for  cold  cream  .  .  . 
a  right  way  that  would  remove  it  all, 
and  all  the  pores'  accumulations  of 
dirt,  grease  and  germ-laden  residue 
with  it. 

Now  that  exactment  has  been  met. 
We  worked  two  years  to  do  it.  And 
we're  told  it  marks  one  of  the  most 
important  advancements  in  skin  care 
known. 

What  it  is 

The  name  is. Kleenex  'Kerchiefs  — 
absorbent — exquisitely  dainty,  inviting 
and  immaculate  —  you  use  it,  then 
discard   it. 

Scientifically  aseptic,  it  reaches  you 
white  as  snow,  soft  as  down.  It  is  27 
times  as  absorbent  as  an  ordinary 
towel;  24  times  as  any  fibre  or  tissue 
substitute. 


KLEENEX 

ABSORBENT 

KERCH! EFS 

To    Remove    Cold    Cream  —  Sanitary 


Just  make  this  test 

Your  make-up  holds  hours 
longer  than  before 


Instead  of  towels,  cloths,  harsh  fibre 
or  paper  makeshifts,  you  use  this 
deliciously  soft  new  material — 27 
times  as  absorbent! 

First 

Remove  every  bit  of  <7?r»t-laden  mat- 
ter, every  particle  of  dirt,  simply  by 
wiping  off  face. 

Then 

— pay  particular  attention  to  the 
nose,  so  that  it  will  be  white  and 
without  shine. 

Then 
You    discard    the    used    sheets  —  no 
more  soiling  of  towels. 


Today,   largely   on   the   advice   of   ^kiri 

specialists,  women  are  flocking  to  it. 

It  will  effect  unique  results  in  the 

texture  and  fineness  of  your  skin; 
in    the    color    and    whiteness    of 
your  skin. 

Combats  oily  skins  and  blemishes 
You  use  cold  cream  to  re- 
move germ-laden  accumula- 
tions. Old  methods  removed 
but  part,  rubbed  the  rest 
hack  in.  That's  where  erup- 
tions came  .  .  .  and  those 
dark  appearing  skins. 

*        *        * 

1/     It    will    correct    oily    skin    and 

/    nose  conditions  amazingly.   Oily 

skin  indicates  cold  cream  left  in 

the     skin.      The     pores     exude     it. 

That's  why  you  must  powder  now 

so  often.        *       *       * 

It  will  double  and  treble  the  effec- 
tless of  your  make-up  .  .  .  will 
ke  it  last  hours  longer  than  before. 
That's  because  it  does  what  no  other 
method  can  do,  what  no  other  even 
approximates;  removes  all  dirt  and 
grease  from  the  pores.

Her  discoveries  give  new  youth 

to  famous  faces  of  Society  and  Stage 


Coming  to  Now  York  ten  yean 
ago,  the  daughter  ai  i  i 
doctor  ,\'.ij  scientist,  Dorothy 
Gray,  by  the  discovery  i  ( 
treatments  and  prepantioi  i  for 
facial  rejuvenation,  soon  htrame 
one  of  the  most  famous  Ivauty 
specialists  in  the  world,  num- 
bering among  her  clientele 
scores  of  the  greatest  names  in 
the  international  social  register. 


If  you're  beginning 
to  show  age 

/'/  will  be  at  one  of  these 
three  places 

The  three  telltale  places  which 
indicate  facial  age  a  re  the  double 
chin,  wrinkles  and  lines  around 
eyes  and  mouth,  thin  face  with 
flabby  muscles  and  crepy  throat. 


Some  of  the  scientific  direction- 
al mcth.>Js  used  by  Dorothy 
Gray  in  her  Firth  Avenue  Sa- 
lon. Now  in  your  own  home 
you  can  duplicate  the  action  of 
ber  marvelous  hands  by  using 
aer  unique  invention,  the 
Dorothy  Gray  Patter. 


THROUGH  her  years  of  experi- 
ence, Dorothy  Gray  found  that 
there  are  three  places — weak  spots 
— on  a  woman's  face  which  unerr- 
ingly reveal  one's  years.  Correcting 
them  makes  a  difference  that  is 
almost  unbelievable. 

Experts  agree  in  her  estimate 
that  67%  of  all  women  past  25  and 
90%  past  35  reveal  one  or  more 
of  these  conditions. 

Up  to  now,  many  women  have 
found  the  battle  against  facial  age 
a  losing  one.  But  Dorothy  Gray's 
delighted  clientele  has  found  that 
it  is  no  longer  necessary  to  let  these 


DOROTHY  GRAY 


three  telltale  places  reveal  their 
unpleasant  story. 

"To  look  one's  age  is  a  folly,"  says 
Dorothy  Gray,  whose  world-famous  Salon 
on  Fifth  Avenue  has  long  been  the  mecca 
for  the  leading  women  of  stage  and  society. 

For  the  thousands  who  have  come  to 
her,  often  with  the  signs  of  heart-break  in 
their  faces,  she  has  performed  almost 
miraculous  transformations.  Dorothy  Gray 
has  become  the  leading  exponent  on  facial 
rejuvenation. 

Not  by  harsh  surgery,  not  "face-lifting," 
not  "enameling"— all  so  temporary  and 
dangerous — but  by  scientific  treatments 
with  her  own  unique  preparations. 

Now,  all  can  be  had  in  your  own  home. 
You  can  obtain  the  identical  results — just 
as  if  you  had  come  to  the  New  York  Salon 
of  Dorothy  Gray. 

Through  her  years  of  practice  with  a 
large  and  fastidious  clientele,  Dorothy 
Gray  has  now  perfected  systems  for  home 
treatment. 

You  can  erase  years  from  your  face  if 
you're  over  30.  If  younger,  you  can  pre- 
vent age  lines  from  coming  prematurely. 

A  double  chin,  that  first  fatal  si;^n  of 
departing  youth,  can  be  restored  to  grace- 


ful lines.  Droopy,  flabby  muscles  can  be 
"firmed" — sallow  skin  made  glowing — 
thin  and  withered  skin  can  be  revitalized 
— lines  and  crow's-feet  around  eyes  and 
mouth  can  be  eliminated,  erased. 

Learn  all  about  Dorothy  Gray's  famous 
treatments  and  preparations.  She  will

Advertising  pays  you! 

Advertising  brings  to  millions,  at  reasonable  prices, 
comforts  and  conveniences  which  without  adver- 
tising would  be  luxuries  that  only  a  few  could 
enjoy. 

America  is  an  advertising  nation.  That  is  one 
reason  why  the  man  with  moderate  means  here 
enjoys    more    comforts    than    most    wealthy    men 

abroad. 

Because  thousands  on  thousands  of  people  ask 
for  a  certain  article  by  the  same  name,  which  they 
have  read  in  the  same  advertisements,  it  is  possible 
for  the  advertiser  to  sell  this  item  at  a  minimum 
of  effort. 

It  is  therefore  possible  to  manufacture  and  to 
distribute  this  product  at  a  saving  which  you  share 
with  the  advertiser. 

When  you  figure  the  number  of  these  items  in 
your  daily  life  built  by  advertising,  you  can  appre- 
ciate that  advertising'  does  pay  you! 


Advertisements  enable  you  to  buy 
better  things  at  less  cost

When  is  a  picture  show  not  a  picture  show? 

When  the  picture  houses  persist  in  present- 
ing so-called  "added  attractions."  such  as 
magicians,  trick  players  on  saws  and  one-string 
fiddles,  Hawaiian  ukulele  players,  singers  of 
mushy  sentimental  songs,  and  other  items  that 
are  neither  pictures  nor  pertaining  to  pictures. 

Instead  of  trying  to  trick  the  public  into 
the  theater  with  such  items  let  the  producers 
exercise  a  little  more  care  in  choosing  stories 
and  players  for  their  program  features.  Let 
them  use  more  cleverness  and  imagination  in 
producing  these  pictures  so  they  will  be  more 
like  entertainment  and  less  like  strings  of 
sausages. 

The  future  of  the  photoplay,  I  believe,  lies 
not  so  much  in  the  occasional  special  feature 
production  as  in  a  high  quality  of  program 
pictures  that  are  shown  every  day. 

The  picture  producer  must  show  his  faith 
in  his  own  line  by  sticking  to  it.  We  don't 
need  "added  attractions."  We  need  better 
pictures!

Lois  Moran,  who  needed  only  one  part  to  make  her  a  personage 

The  Girl  on  the  Cover 

By  Cctl  York 


SPRINGTIME  and  Lois  Moran!  Could 
any  other  girl  grace  the  June  cover  of 
Photoplay  more  appropriately  than  this 
little  Irish  girl,  with  her  happy  smile,  her  shin- 
ing eyes  and  hair,  and  her  sixteen  years? 

Lois  belongs  to  the  illustrious  ranks  of  the 
screen's  younger  stars,  those  remarkable  young- 
sters who  are  making  mature  actors  and  actresses 
watch  them  with  amazement. 

Lois  has  won  her  spurs  more  swiftly  than  any 
of  them.  A  year  ago  she  was  unknown  to 
the  American  public.  Then  Samuel  Goldwyn 
"discovered"  her  and  cast  her  for  the  impor- 
tant role  of  Laurel  in  "Stella  Dallas."  It  was 
a  hard  role,  played  opposite  Belle  Bennett,  an 
experienced  actress,  who  gave  a  performance 
amounting  to  genius.  Yet  Lois'  playing  was 
almost  as  distinguished  as  Miss  Bennett's. 

Perhaps  it  was  her  training  up  to  that  time 
that  helped  her  to  her  quick  triumph.  She  has 
one  of  the  wisest  and  most  poised  mothers  in 
all  lilmtlom.  Mrs.  Moran,  a  widow,  decided 
when  Lois  was  a  baby  that  she  wanted  her  to 
be  an  actress.  Hut.  instead  of  dragging  the 
little  girl  wearily  around  casting  offices,  she 
did    much    better.      She    gave    her    an   edu- 


cation; a  worldly,  artistic,  cultural  education. 

Among  other  things  Lois  learned  to  dance, 
not  simply  to  trip  around  gracefully,  but  to 
dance  so  well  that  she  got  an  engagement  to  be 
in  the  ballet  of  the  Paris  Opera. 

Taris  is  not  given  to  particularly  young 
ballerinas  and  an  infant  like  Lois  simply  couldn't 
stay  unnoticed. 

A  French  movie  producer  observed  her  and 
signed  Lois  for  two  films.  It  was  one  of  these 
productions  that  Samuel  Goldwyn  saw. 

Lois  hasn't  had  an  idle  day  since  "Stella 
Dallas"  was  released.  Despite  the  gentle  kid- 
ding that  has  gone  on  at  Lois' expense,  because 
of  her  raw  vegetable  diet,  she  has  actually 
needed  to  be  taken  care  of  most  solicitously  in 
order  to  maintain  the  pace  her  talents  set  for 
her. 

In  the  last  six  months  Lois  has  played  the 
romantic  girl  in  Richard  Barthelmess'  "Just 
Suppose":  Belle  Bennett's  daughter  once  more 
in  "The  Reckless  Lady":  then  a  lead  all  her 
own  in  Paramount 's  "  Padlocked."  which  is  yet 
to  be  released,  and  the  latest  good  news  of  her 
is  that  she  has  been  signed  by  Metro  to  play  op- 
posite Lon  Chancy  in  "The  Road  to  Mandalay."

On  the  vaudeville  hill  on  this  evening  with 
1  om  was  a  little  chap  by  the  name  i'i  Johnnj 
.  rated  by  Tom  .1-.  the  finest  trainei  oi 
horses  in  the  world.  11*.-  u.i^  for  manj  years 
with  Ringling  Brothei  The  two  came  out  on 
the  stage  together  and  talked  over  old  I 
and  Agee  told  the  follow  ing  one  on  rom. 

Hd  he  was  in  a  small  hotel  in  a  Bmall 
anil  pretty  wild  tow  n  in  Montana,  intheold 
da)  s,  and  was  sitting  up  in  his  room  n  hen  Tom 
came  up  to  \i-~ii  him  and  they  had  a  liulc 
drink.  Just  then  somebody  knocked  and  \ 
went  out.  It  was  the  hotel  proprietor,  who 
asked:  "Do  you  know  who  that  is  in  there 
with  you?" 

"Why  sun-."  said  Age  ■.  "  that's  Tom  Mix." 

"  Well,  there's  aposseol  deputy  sheriffs  dow  n 
stairs  looking  for  him,  that's  all  1  know,"  said 
the  proprietor. 

wee  went  in  and  told  Tom,  and  Tom  looked 
out  the  window.  It  was  a  long  jump.  Then  he 
shifted  his  gun  from  his  hip  around  to  the 
middle  of  his  stomach  and  said :  "  Well,  Johnny, 
1  guess  1  better  have  another  little  drink  before 
1  go  down." 

lom  looked  horribly  embarrassed  and  then 
he  said:  "Saw  Johnny,  maybe  you'd  ought  not 
to  have  told  them.  1  was  right  young  and 
headstrong  in  them  days.  You  know  1  got  to 
be  a  sheriff  myself  after  a  while.'' 

TI7HEREUP0N  he  topped  it  with  the  story 

W  about  a  colored  recruit  in  the  World 
War  who  was  receiving  some  instructions  from 
his  captain.  "Now,  when  you  go  up  against 
those  German  guns,  you  want  torunzig  zag." 
The  darky  looked  at  him  solemnly  a  moment 
and  then  inquired:  "Captain,  suh,  what  i~  that 
ag?"  The  captain  explained,  and  the 
darky  said:  "I  see.  You  wants  me  to  run 
crooked  like."  A  few  weeks  later  the  captain 
saw  this  same  soldier  in  hospital 

"Well,  Rufus,  this  is  too  bad.  What  hap- 
pened?'' 

"Why,  captain,  suh."  said  the  boy.  "1  guess 
I  run  /.ig  when  I  should  uv  run  zag.  Anyway, 
a  bullet  kotched  me." 

/^OLLEKN"  MOORE  and  her  husband,  John 
^-'McCormick,  are  planning  a  unique  vaca- 
tion, to  be  taken  early  this  summer.  They  are 
going  camping,  and  when  they  say  camping, 
they  mean  camping. 

"Xonc  of  this  de  luxe  stuff."  said  Colleen. 
"We're  going  to  rough  it,  do  our  own  cooking 
and  carry'  our  bed  in  the  pack.  And  I'm  going 
to  wear  the  clothes  I  have  in  'Ella  Cinders.' 
I  think  for  once  we'll  really  get  a  complete 
change  and  rest." 

"D  EALLY,  I  sometimes  think  Hollywood  and 
-^■Beverly  Hills  hostesses  ought  to  feel  a  little 
ashamed  of  themselves.  To  let  a  mere  man 
earn-  off  the  palm  for  the  most  charming  and 
delightful  parties  given.  But  certainly  George 
Fitzmaurice's  are  the  very  nicest  and  no  one 
has  yet  equalled  him  in  the  art  of  a  perfectly 
arranged  dinner,  a  perfectly  assorted  guest  list 
and  a  good  time  for  even-body. 

His  dinner  party  for  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  S. 
Robertson  was  one  of  the  nicest  things  he  has 
ever  had  and  certainly  must  have  been  a  won- 
derful welcome  for  the  Robertson's,  who  just 
got  out  here  from  the  east.  Among  the 
guests  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lionel  Barrymore, 
Captain  and  Mrs.  Alastair  William  Mack- 
intosh (Constance  Talmadge),  Mr.  and  Mrs.

YOU  know  how  vertical  lines 
in  a  dress  can  slenderize  the 
figure;  you  can  imagine  how  such 
lines  in  stockings  can  slenderize  the 
ankles! 

The  twin  tapering  lines  that 
meet  in  a  point  above  the  heel  in 
"Onyx  Pointex"  stockings  make 
ankles  look  slimmer — more  grace- 
ful— more  shapely.  Ankles  nat- 
urally well-molded  are  emphasized 
with  a  note  of  trim  smartness; 
those  a  bit  too  wide  are  given  an 
illusion  of  slender  charm. 

Because  stockings  are  no  longer 
a  mere  detail  of  costume,  it  is  well 
worth  while  to  insist  upon  "Onyx 
Pointex,"  with  their  re-inforced 
point.  You  will  find  them  at  bet- 
ter hosiery  shops  everywhere.

Tangee  Lipstick  is  color  magic. 

In  its  trim  little  gunmetal  case,  Tangee  Lip-

lutely harmless.

Tangee  Creme  Rouge  has  all  the  wonderful

Maybe  "It's  the  old  army  game,"  but  it's  certainly  a  new  camera  in  W. 
C.   Fields'   first  starring  picture.      Cameraman  Alvin  Wyckoff  strapped 
this  gyroscopic  camera  to  his  chest  so  he  could  photograph  Fields'  con- 
tinuous movements.    The  other  chap  is  Director  Eddie  Sutherland 


Having  finished  a  vaudeville  tour.  Miss  Bayes 
went  out  to  the  delightful  Ince  home,  in  the 
canyons  of  Beverly  Hills,  for  a  rest.  One  Sun- 
day, Nell  had  open  house  all  afternoon  and 
evening  for  friends  invited  to  meet  Miss  Bayes. 
and  the  whole  hillside  was  a  mass  of  color  and 
merriment. 

Incidentally,  it  looks  as  though  Nora  Bayes, 
who  has  several  adopted  children  of  her  own, 
had  actually  persuaded  Mrs.  Ince  to  adopt  a 
little  girl.  There  are  three  Ince  boys,  you 
know,  Bill,  Tom  and  Dick,  but  Airs.  Ince  has 
always  wanted  a  girl  as  well. 

She  hasn't  selected  one  yet,  but  she  is  look- 
ing around. 

TACK  CONWAY'S  hillside  bungalow  was  the 
•'scene  of  an  entrancing  party  the  other  night. 
Naturally,  it  started  out  on  the  right  foot  by 
being  a  welcome  home  to  Norma  Shearer,  who 
had  just  returned  from  New  York.  But  the 
lovely  part  of  it  was  that  John  McCormack. 
who  has  been  in  Los  Angeles  several  weeks 
giving  concerts,  came  in  about  half-way 
through  the  evening  and  was  in  a  singing  mood. 
He  stood  around  near  the  piano  and  sang  song 
after  song  as  Miss  Shearer  or  some  other  guest 
begged  for  a  favorite  and  it  was  an  evening  no- 
body who  was  there  will  ever  forget. 

THE  preview  of  "Kiki"  in  Beverly  Hills 
started  a  perfect  riot  of  praise  for  Norma 
Talmadge's  work  in  the  title  role.  Not  since 
"Smilin'  Through"  have  the  hard-boiled  eggs 
of  the  picture  colony  showered  such  unstinted 
praise  upon  Xorma's  work. 

Nobody,  they  say,  could  have  been  as  good. 

It's  interesting  to  hear  them,  for  almost 
everyone  had  seen  Lenore  Ulrich's  stage  per- 
formance, and  there  was  a  great  deal  of  discus- 
sion as  lo  who  would  be  the  proper  screen  ac- 
tress to  play  the  part.  Norma  wasn't  Bret 
choice  by  any  means.  But  she's  proved  again 
her  unusual  ability  to  play  any  sort  of  a  role 
just  a  little  better  than  you  could  possibly  ex- 
pect her  to. 


~V\  7  HEN  Colleen  called  up  on  the  afternoon 
W  of  the  opening  of  "Irene,"  at  Grauman's 
Million  Dollar  theater  in  Los  Angeles,  she 
said:  "I'm  so  nervous  my  teeth  are  chattering. 
Remember,  it's  my  hrst  opening." 

And  it  shows  the  great  strides  Colleen  Moore 
has  made  the  past  year  to  realize  that  her  pic- 
ture followed  Douglas  Fairbanks'  "DonQ." 
and  preceded  Harold  Lloyd's  "For  Heaven's 
Sake."     Big  company. 

Well,  she  didn't  need  to  be  the  least  bit 
nervous  about  that  opening  for  it  was  a  huge 
success,  not  only  in  the  distinguished  audience 
that  attended,  but  in  the  hilarity  that  followed, 
for  everybody  adored  the  picture,  which  al- 
ways makes  openings  a  lot  easier. 

Colleen  made  a  personal  appearance  follow- 
ing the  picture,  being  carried  in  on  a  large 
covered  clothes  basket  of  the  kind  she  herself 
carries  in  "Irene."  When  Charlie  Murray 
called  for  her.  she  popped  out.  and  made  a 
graceful  bow  and  the  shortest  speech  ever  re- 
corded. She  wore  the  "dear  little  Alice  blue 
gown"  of  "Irene's"  fondest  memory  and 
looked  lovely. 

MR.  AND  MRS.  TOM  MIX  were  there. 
Mrs.  Mix  in  a  peacock  blue  evening  gown, 
held  tight  with  sequins,  and  a  velvet  cloak

pale  pink  chiffon  and  a  white  crepe  de  chine 
evening  wrap  with  ermine  collar.  Dick  Bar- 
thelmess  and  Barbara  Bennett  were  in  Miss

NEW  YORK  CITY 


evening  with  Douglas,  senior,  and  Mary. 
Elinor  Glyn  was  also  in  the  party. 

"Do  let  me  tell  your  fortune,"  she  said  to  the 
young  man.  who  surrendered  hi-  palm  eagerly, 
lor  Mrs.  Glyn  i-  famous  as  a  clairvoyant. 

"I  see,"  said  Mrs.  Glyn,  peering  down 
through  half-shut  lids,  "that  you  are  going  to 
have  a  love  affair  with  a  woman  much  older 
than  yourself,  which  will  have  a  great  influence 
upon  your  life." 

"That  sounds  like  an  invitation,  young 
man,"  said  Douglas,  senior. 

"LJAVE  you  ever  breathed  a  pining 
sigh  and  said:  "I  wish  I  were  in 
Pola  Negri's  shoes"? 

You  could  have  been,  for  a  small 
sum,  if  you  had  attended  the  auction 
sale  that  Lasky's  wardrobe  depart- 
ment held  recently. 

As  it  was,  a  dainty  miss  of  over 
two  hundred  pounds  got  the  red  s^tin 
slippers  Pola  wore  in  "Flower  of  the 
Night."  Got  'em  for  a  few  pennies, 
too.  But  she  won't  have  much 
pleasure  in  them,  for  she  has  bunions. 

And  the  lovely  negligee  that  Flor- 
ence Vidor  wore  in  "The  Grand 
Duchess  and  the  Waiter."  No,  not 
the  dress  that  Menjou  spilled  cream 
on !  It  was  the  negligee  with  all  the 
maribou  and  it  went  to  a  Main  street 
cook  who  will  probably  wear  it  when 
she  teas  the  policeman. 

And,  can  you  imagine!  That 
beaded  harem  costume  of  Greta 
Nissen's  went  to  a  large-propor- 
tioned lady  from  St.  Louis. 

Clara  Bow's  gay  negligee  worn  in 
"The  Runaway"  was  auctioned  off 
for  a  mere  fraction  to  a  studio  carpen- 
ter. "Want  it  for  the  old  woman !"  he 
grunted,  as  he  hastily  edged  away. 


A  \"  engagement,  a  marriage  and  a  divorce 
-*  "-That  is  the  cycle  of  cinema  news  this 
month. 

first,  the  engagement  of  Clara  Bow  to  Gil- 
bert Roland  has  had  its  western  premiere.  It 
was  announced  in  the  east  some  time  ago,  but 
Clara  and  Gilbert  thought  it  worthy  of  a 
special  western  showing,  so  they  re-announced 
it  to  their  Hollywood  friends,  who  were  not  the 
least  bit  surprised.  It  budded  and  bloomed 
during  the  making  of  "The  Plastic  Age."  And 
when  "The  Plastic  Age"  had  crystallized  'or 
does  it  congeal?;  the  Bow-Roland  engagement 
was  still  very  much  in  existence.  Now  the 
wedding  chimes. 

Then,  the  marriaee  of  Vivian  Martin  to 
Arthur  W.  Samuels,  who  is  a  composer.  Lately 
\"\  vian  has  been  playing  on  the  stage,  but  about 
eight  years  ago  she  was  one  of  the  film's  leading 
players.  One  of  her  particularly  pleasing  per 
formances  was  with  Jack  Pickford  in  "The 
Girl  from  Home.'  *  and  she  was  also  starred  in  a 
series  of  pictures.  Her  latest  stage  work  was 
in  "Just  Married"  and  so  she  was.  It  took 
place  in  the  studio-apartment  of  Xeysa  Me- 
Mein.  whose  palette  productions  are  seen  on 
the  covers  of  many  magazines. 

And  lastly,  the  divorce  of  Vera  Reynolds 
from  Carl  T.  Montgomery, in  whichlittle  Vera, 
who  has  been  recently  elevated  to  DeM ilk- 
stardom,  claims  that  her  hubby  of  five  years 
was  as  fickle  as  an  April's  day.  And  the  suit 
reveals  that  Yera's  name  is  Xorma  Mont- 
gomery. But  the  decree  has  not  been  granted 
yet,  for  Hubby  Montgomery  is  reluctant  to 
lose  his  pretty  wife,  despite  allegations,  and 
has  petitioned  that  the  divorce  action  be  dis- 
missed. 

ELEANOR  BOARDMAN  is  the  lucky  girl 
who  went  the  farthest  in  the  film  world 
during  1025.  At  least  that  was  the  unanimous 
decision  of  dramatic  critics  who  have  watched 
her  ascent.  This  verdict  was  brought  to  light 
when  Murray  Phillips,  who  was  Miss  Board- 
man's  agent,  brought  suit  in  New  York  for  a 


Most  of  the  reflected  glory  of  Dolores  Costcllo's  sudden  fame  has  fallen 

on  her  dad,  Maurice  Costello.    But  here  mother  comes  in  for  a  share,  as 

well  as  sister  Hclcnc.      "Just  wait  till  Hclcne  gets  the  lucky  break," 

prophesies  the  exquisite  Dolores.     "Then  you'll  see  real  acting"

pulled  out  a  cigarette  and,  before  lighting  it,

The  girl — eyeing  him  from  mascaroed  orb — 
replied: 

'■  1  don't  care  if  you  burn!" 

THE  entire  motion  picture  industry  paid 
homage  to  Carl  Laemmle  at  a  huge  banquet 
recently.  They  paid  high  compliment  to  the 
Grand  Old  Man  of  the  Films,  and  paid  it  at  the 
rate  of  ten  dollars  a  plate,  which  is  quite  a  sum 
for  the  privilege  of  singing  encomiums  to  some- 
one else. 

However,  many  celebrities,  such  as  Bert 
Lytell,  King  Haggott,  J.  Stuart  Blackton, 
Henry  MacRca.  Irving  Thalberg,  Donald  Og- 
den  Stewart,  Joseph  Jackson,  Edwin  Carewe. 
Fred  Beetson  and  countless  others  were  there — 
and  not  on  passes  either — to  greet  the  man  who 
twenty  years  ago  founded  what  is  today  one  of 
the  biggest  film  organizations  in  the  world,  the 
Universal  Film  Company. 

There  was  present  at  the  feast  E.  P.  Butler, 
the  man  who,  forty  years  ago,  gave  Laemmle 
his  first  job  at  six  dollars  a  week,  and  at  one  end 
of  the  Ambassador  dining  room  the  original 
Laemmle-ope rated  theater,  "The  White  Front," 
was  duplicated,  from  which  a  clever  program 
was  given,  including  one  of  Mary  Pickford's 
first  two-reel  pictures. 

Everyone  seemed  to  enjoy  paying  homage  to 
Mr.  Laemmle — even  if  it  wasatten  dollars  per. 

THE  man  who  put  George  Washington  on  a 
level  with  us  ordinary  mortals  returned 
from  his  rumpus-stirring  eastern  trip  and  the 
first  person  he  met  when  he  stepped  from  the 
train  in  Los  Angeles  was  old  George  himself, 
even  to  epaulets  and  tricorn-shaped  hat. 

They  say  that  Rupert  Hughes,  the  learned 
individual  who  dared  to  make  of  Washington 
a  mortal  man.  instead  of  a  pedestaled  figure  of 
history,  paled  as  George  approached. 

And  George  set  up  a  terrible  howl  and 
threatened  to  sue  for  libel,  but  Hughes  grinned 
as  he  recognized  an  extra  man  whom  he  had 
used  in  many  of  his  motion  pictures,  and  then 
posed  for  the  cameraman  with  "George's" 
hand  in  his. 

It  was  just  one  of  those  Hollywood  pranks, 
but  it  created  a  lot  of  fun  for  the  friends  of 
Hughes  who  went  to  the  train  to  greet  him. 

LF.ATRICE  JOY  had  the  most  dreadful  time 
at  the  Montmartre  the  other  day.  She  was 
all  dressed  in  a  fluffy  cherry  colored  organdy 
and  she  just  didn't  know  how  to  make  it  be- 
have. 

"What's  the  matter,  Letty?"  I  queried. 
"You  act  as  if  you  had  never  worn  dresses 
before." 

"I  haven't,  for  five  weeks.  I've  been  wear- 
ing boy's  clothing — trousers,  flannel  shirt  and 
everything — for  'Eve's  Leaves,'  and  these 
danged  ruffles  annoy  me  horribly!''

IKow  -  a   fine  hard-milled  soap 
that  fairly  caresses  your  skin 


What  girl  does  not  long  for  a  skin  with 
rose-petal  tints  and  texture?  Everybody 
admires  a  lovely  complexion.  Beauty 
inspires  the  kneeling  courtier  .  .  .  leads 
on  to  love  and  happiness. 

Advice  of  Skin  Specialists 

If  you  go  to  a  reputable  dermatologist — a 
physician  who  knows  all  about  skin  and 
treatments  for  it — he  will  be  sure  to  tell  you 
that  water  and  the  right  soap  should  be  used 
every  day  to  keep  your  skin  youthfully  fresh 
and  smooth. 

But  be  sure  you  use  the  right  soap) — one 
that  is  firm,  not  squdgy ;  one  that  cleans- 
es the  pores  but  does  not  clog  them. 
Choose  Cashmere  Bouquet  as  the  soap 
for  your  face,  your  hands  and  the  deli- 
cate skin  of  your  neck  and  shoulders. 
Cashmere  Bouquet  is  "hard-milled," 
which  means  that  each  cake  is  put 
through  special  processes  which  make 
it    firm    and    hard — not    the    least    bit 


squdgy.  Its  lather  is  all  lather.  There 
is  no  undissolved  soap  to  crowd  into 
pores,  stay  there  and  cause  enlarged 
pores  and  then — blemishes. 

An  Indescribable  Fragrance 

Cashmere  Bouquet  has  a  lasting,  dainty 
fragrance — a  Colgate  secret  for  genera- 
tions. It  is  this  fragrance  which  prompts 
so  many  to  lay  a  cake  of  Cashmere 
Bouquet  among  their  choicest  silks  and 
other  fabric  treasures. 
But  let's  get  back  to  the  subject  of  Cash- 
mere Bouquet  and  your  skin. 

Try  this  Treatment — Watch  Results 

Wet  the  face  with  warm  water.  Work  up 
a  thick  Cashmere  Bouquet  lather.  Mas- 
sage this  into  the  skin  with  the  fingertips. 
Rinse  in  warm  water.  Then  a  dash  of 
cold.  Pat  the  face  dry  with  a  soft  towel. 
If  the  skin  is  in- 
clined to  be  dry, 
rub  in  a  little  Col- 
gate's Charm  is 
Cold  Cream.

D.  W.  Griffith  calls  this  gentleman  the  most  distinctive  individual  to 
reach  the  screen.  He  is  Ivan  Lebideff,  who  was  trained  in  Russia's  school 
for  ambassadors,  where  the  first  requirement  is  that  the  boy's  family  be 
of  the  nobility  with  a  century's  record  for  achievement.  .  .  .  And  now

CORIXNE  GRIFFITH'S  contract  with  First 
National  expires  in  October  and  already 
producers  are  sending  flowers  to  "the  world's 
most  beautiful"  with  tentative  offers.  Joseph 
Schenck,  of  the  United  Artists,  is  said  to  be  in- 
terested in  directing  Corinne's  future,  while  it 
is  certain  First  National  will  want  her  to  con- 
tinue to  reap  the  harvest  for  them  as  she  did 
with  "Classified",  one  of  the  greatest  box- 
office  successes  of  the  year.  Some  time  ago  the 
Warner  Brothers  offered  her  a  large  salary, 
which  was  rejected,  and  then  asked  her  to 
write  her  own  ticket.  It  is  understood  that 
Corinne  favors  the  individual  unit  plan,  such 
as  employed  by  First  National  and  United 
Artists,  but  is  not  interested  in  signing  with 
anyone  until  the  expiration  of  her  contract. 
In  any  event  she  will  take  a  vacation  of  several 
months,  probably  touring  Europe.  Her  latest 
role  is  that  of  the  ill-fated  Russian  princess. 
Tatiana,  in  "Into  Her  Kingdom." 

CHATTING  to  Doris  Kenyon  the  other 
day.  That  beautiful  talented  girl  admitted 
she  had  a  past-  a  past  in  which  a  plumed 
hat  figured  prominently. 

It  was  when  she  was  a  very  little  girl. 

It  seems  the  youthful  Doris  had  to  wear  a 
brace  on  her  teeth  and  it  was  the  bane  oi  her 
existence.  She  hadn't  heard  of  l'.linor  Glyn  at 
that  date  nor  the  movies,  hut  she  was  very  well 
aware  that  the  brace  around  her  teeth  ruined 
her  charms  for  masculine  eyes,  She  wanted  to 
have  boys  walking  home  from  Sunday  School 


with  her,  and  she  never  did.  All  of  which  she 
blamed  on  the  excess  dentistry. 

It  worried  her  a  whole  lot  and  she  sought 
for  other  wiles.  Her  mother,  being  a  lady  of 
taste,  dressed  Doris  very  simply.  All  the 
other  girls  at  Sunday  School  had  hats  with 
plumes  on  them.  All,  that  is.  except  Doris. 
There  she  was  with  a  brace  on  her  teeth  and 
no  plume  on  her  hat.  Her  sex  appeal  was 
nearly  smashed  to  smithereens. 

Then  there  came  to  the  same  church  and  to 
sing  in  the  same  choir  with  Doris  and  hold  up 
the  other  side  of  the  hymn  book,  a  wonderful 
new  boy.  Doris  felt  she  had  to  win  him.  So 
she  saved  her  pennies,  almost  one  might  say, 
religiouslv.  She  saved  till  she  got  enough  to 
buy  a  plume.  And  buy  a  plume  she  did  and 
put  it  on  her  Sunday  hat. 

Here  is  the  happy  ending.  That  Sunday  the 
new  boy  walked  home  with  Doris. 

LOUIS  B.  MAYER  is  so  glad  he's  got  Greta 
Garbo  under  contract  that  he's  almost  will- 
ing to  give  her  the  car  she  craves.  The  slender 
Swedish  import  proved  so  fine  in  her  first 
American-made  picture,  Ibanez' "Torrent. "that 
her  second,  also  taken  from  a  novel  by  Senor 
Ibanez,  is  being  made  into  one  of  those  super- 
specials  and  will,  if  mmor  is  true,  replace 
"La  Boheme"  at  Metro  Goldwyn-Mayer's 
Embassy  Theater  on  Broadway. 

Yet  an  automobile  almost  kept  Greta  from 
Metro.  Mayer  had  seen  Miss  Garbo's  work  in 
a  foreign  made  him,  "The  Atonement  of 
Gosta  Berling."  This  picture,  incidentally,  was 
directed  by  Maurit/.  Stiller,  who  is  directing 
the  second  Garbo  opus,  and  it  is  considered  an 
artistic  gem.  but  a  positive  flop  as  far  as 
American  audiences  are  concerned.    For  that

reason  it  probably  will  never  be  released  here. 
Immediately    after    witnessing    the    film, 

Mayer  got   in  touch   with   the  young  at  tress. 

Mi>s  c iarbo  sgreed  to  sll  the  terms  oi  i  ontrai  i 
\h    Mayer  offered,  except  one.  There  wi

that  she  knev  very  well  all  American  movie 

star-,  had  a  private  mr     So  the  wanted  a  iar. 

\iul  it  took  an  awful  amount  of  explaining  on 
Mr.  Mayer's  part  to  persuade  her  that  the 
stars  really  purchased  their  limousines. 

GR  \iu  \  I  EON  exercises  from  a  Gin  acad 
emy  certainly  have  commencement  at  the 
little  red  school  house  backed  off  the  boards. 
It  was  a  grand  ami  glorious  party  Famous 
Players  I. asky  threw  for  the  Brat  graduation 
class  of  its  Paramount  school  of  acting.  The) 

Staged  it  at   the   Kit/  in   \c\\    York  City,  and 

the  Paramount  officials,  the  Paramount  stars 
and    tin-   ever-hungry    press   were    there   to 

eat  and  look  on 

The  sixteen  junior  stars  were  seated  at  the 
speakers'  table.  The  eight  girls  were  on  one 
side  and  the  eight  boys  on  the  Other,  with 
Jesse  l.asky  and  Adolph  Zukor  sitting  between 
them,  beaming  like  a  pair  of  benign  and 
benevolent  uncles  Weighing  down  either  end 
of  the  festal  board  were  Adolphe  Menjou  and 
Richard  l>i\..  Lois  Wilson  was  the  only 
feminine  star  present,  hut  she  scored  by  being 
the  smartest  dressed  woman  in  the  room.  Her 
gown  was  enough  to  make  the  girl  students 
weep  with  envy.  Very  short,  very  tight,  it  was 
cut  in  a  princess  model  that  let  one  see  a  great 
deal  of  Lois.  The  material  was  brocaded  silver 
cloth  and  it  was  untrimmed,  except  for  a  huge 
bow  of  material,  lined  with  scarlet,  that  rested 
on  Lois'  left  hip.  Lois  has  been  learning  the 
Charleston  and  as  the  evening  waxed  she  did 
her  steps  for  the  company. 

When  dinner  was  finished  at  eleven,  they 
showed  the  Paramount  School's  first  picture, 
"Fascinating  Youth."  Sam  Wood  directed  it 
and  Byron  Morgan,  who  wrote  most  of  Wally 
Reid's  racing  stories,  created  the  plot.  Nobody 
expected  the  picture  to  be  much  good  and 
everybody  was  agreeably  disappointed.  For 
the  picture  has  all  its  title  guarantees,  youth 
and  naivete,  and,  considering  that  the  young- 
sters have  been  only  six  months  in  training, 
some  very  good  acting.  They  followed  the  film 
with  a  trailer  made  of  the  students  when  they 
had  been  in  the  school  only  three  months  and 
it  was  as  good  an  argument  for  studying 
acting  under  competent  instructors  as  could 
have  been  devised.

Bebe  Daniels  has  a  tuxedo  dress  suit  made  of

A  A OXTE'S  a  very  gay  Blue  these  days  be- 
*  vlcause  Barbara  Ann  has  arrived.  Barbara 
Ann  arrived  on  this  earth  April  5th,  which  was 
a  little  earlier  than  her  stellar  dad  had  ex- 
pected, but  she  was  royally  welcomed. 

It  was  a  year  ago  that  Monte  married  Tova 
Janson.  daughter  of  a  Seattle  doctor,  whom  he 
met  while  he  was  playing  opposite  Mae 
Murray.  Tova  was  playing  a  bit.  but  it  wasn't 
so  little  Monte  didn't  see  her  and  make  her  his 
own  at  once. 

'"T'HE  latest  Xew  York  gossip  is  the  possibility 
-*-  of  Peggy  Hopkins  Joyce's  getting  married 
again.  Of  course  it's  not  news  for  Peggy  to  get 
married,  but  it  is  interesting. 

The  man  in  the  case  is  Stanley  Comstock, 
general  sales  manager  of  a  Florida  realty  cor- 
poration. If  Peggy  marches  with  him  to  the 
altar  it  will  be  her  fifth  or  sixth  trip.  Some  say 
Peggy  was  married  to  two  different  men  named 
Hopkins,  and  some  say  he  was  one  and  the 
same.    Hence  the  mix-up  on  numbers. 

But  one  thing  is  sure.  Peggy's  witty  and 
beautiful,  and  her  second  picture  for  Associated 
Exhibitors  will  be  called  "Rue  de  La  Paix." 

SHE  said  she  would  die  of  a  broken  heart  if 
he  left  her. 

The}'  had  been  constant  companions  for 
more  than  three  months. 

Clasped  in  each  other's  arms  they  fell 
asleep  on  Christmas  Eve  .  .  .  waiting  for 
Santa  Claus  to  arrive. 

So  Mother  ZaSu  Pitts  and  Daddy  Tom 
Gallery,  parents  of  the  adoring  young  lady 
mentioned  above,  are  attempting  to  adopt 
the  young  gentleman  who  made  the  heart- 
raid.  The  lad  is  three  and  a  half  year  old 
"Sonny''  La  Marr.  adopted  child  of  Barbara 
La  Marr  who  look  him  into  the  warmth  of 
her  heart  and  home  from  a  foundlings'  asylum. 

When  his  beautiful  foster-mother  became 
too  ill  to  even  play  with  her  little  "Sonny- 
boy,"  he  was  invited  to  join  the  Gallery 
family  and  proved  a  welcome  playmate  to 
their  "Baby  Ann,"  who  is  just  his  age. 

But  whether  he  will  remain  a  permanent 
playmate  of  "Baby  Ann"  is  questionable. 
for  after  the  death  of  Barbara  La  Marr.  her 
father,  W.  W.  Watson,  petitioned  that  he  be 
made  guardian  of  the  boy. 

IT'S  just  like  an  incense-laden  plot  from  the 
Far  East — that  poison  candy  plot  to  rob  the 
screen  of  our  Bebe  Daniels,  who  was  the 
intended  recipient  of  a  luscious-looking  box 
of  candy  from  an  "admirer"  whose  brain  had 
a  vicious  kink. 

The  box.  all  foiled  and  ribboned,  arrived 
from  one  Abdul  Kaidir  Iderim  ul  Akras  (who 
certainly  was  no  Arabian  Knight)  residing  in 
London,  England.  It  arrived  at  the  customs 
office,  but  that  is  as  far  as  it  got,  for  one  alert 
customs  official  questioned  the  wholesomeness 
of  the  candy  ami  dispatched  it  to  a  laboratory, 
where  a  test  was  made. 

Bebe.  Fortunately,  never  received  the  candy 
and  it  met  an  inglorious  end  in  a  San  Fran- 
cisco   chemist's   laboratory.

at    me,    er  .   .   .  er  .   .    .    Mr.     lake!"       Then

know  my  husband's  tirst  name,  wouldn't  it?"

the  filming  of  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin"  with 
So  Jin.  distinguished  Chinese  actor,  as  "Uncle 
Tom"?  Or  maybe  Anna  May  Wong  as  "Little 
Eva"? 

DW.  GRIFFITH  made  up  his  mind  and 
then  changed  it  several  times  about  what 
actor  should  play  the  role  of  Satan  in  Marie 
CoreOi's  "Sorrows  of  Satan,"  which  he  is  to 
make  for  Famous  Players.  George  Bancroft, 
Lowell  Sherman,  Lionel  Barrymore,  Ernest 
Torrence  and  Arthur  Edmund  Carew  were  all 
seriously  considered  for  the  role. 

And  then  Adolphe  Menjou  got  it.  Adolphe 
is  not  skipping  around  the  studio  for  joy  over 
it.  lie  would  much  rather  go  to  London  with 
Mai  St  Clair  and  make  Michael  Arlen's  "The 
Ace  oi  (.'ads,"  as  was  the  original  plan  for  him. 
But  now  he  has  to  be  devilish  for  D.  W. 

Carol  Dempster  and  Greta  Nissen  are  cast 
for  the  feminine  leads  in  "The  Sorrows  of 
Satan." 

"T  WILL  support  a  feminine  star  but  not  a 
-'■leading  man!"  was  Lowell  Sherman's  ulti- 
matum when  he  "walked  off  the  "Dancer  of 
Paris"  set.    It  came  about  in  his  way: 

Al  Santell,  the  director,  stopped  the  action 
of  a  scene  to  consult  with  Conway  Tearle  on  a 
change  he  wished  to  make.  Sir.  Sherman 
pricked  up  his  ears  and  inquired  what  Mr. 
Tearle  had  to  do  with  making  a  change  in  the 
story.  Mr.  Sherman  was  informed  that  ac- 
cording to  Mr.  Tearle's  First  National  con- 
tract, he  had  the  right  to  o.k.  the  stories  he 
appeared  in. 

This  was  too  much.  Five  minutes  with  the 
executives  further  revealed  to  Mr.  Sherman 
that  it  was  Conway  Tearle  and  Dorothy 
Mackaill  who  were  being  featured  in  "The 
Dancer  of  Paris." 

So  Lowell  walked  out  of  the  studio,  very 
angry,  and  a  week's  work  on  the  picture  had 
to  be  retaken  with  Robert  Cain  in  the  role 
vacated  by  Sherman. 

IT  is  believed  that  William  de  Mille,  when  he 
[eaves  Famous  Players-Lasky  this  year,  will 
join  his  brother,  Cecil  B.  De  Mille.  in  produc- 
tion activities  at  Culver  City.  It  is  not  quite  a 
year  since  Cecil  De  Mille  left  the  Lasky  Studio. 

LORXA  AMBLER,  the  young  Australian 
actress  who  was  named  by  Geraldine  Farrar 
in  her  divorce  suit  against  Lou  Tellegen,  has 
announced  her  engagement  to  Geoffrey  Har- 
wood,  stage  actor. 

A  year  ago  when  the  public  learned  Tellegen 
was  secretly  married  following  the  Farrar 
divorce,  Miss  Ambler  declared  her  love  for  the 
actor  had  grown  cold. 

"They  say  he's  a  great  lover,"  she  said. 
"Well,  he  may  be  that  to  some  but  he  never 
even  gave  me  a  thrill."

Complexions 
and  Conquests! 

'\70TJ  may  never  have  looked  at  it  from 
tXthis  angle  —  but  isn't  there  a  decided 
relation  between  facial  charm  and  social 
popularity? 

A  clear,  glowing,  petal-like  skin  is  fascinat- 
ing— and  the  knowledge  of  possessing  such 
beauty  gives  you  that  poise  which  inevitably

beauty.  She  has  created  cosmetics  that

tricked  Buck  out  in  a  double  breasted  suit  and 
spats  and  a  polite  manner.  It  (ramped  his 
Style  considerably,  but  his  regularness  emerged 
in  spite  of  it. 

The  things  that  knocked  all  the  Easterners 
for  a  goal  were  Buck's  shoulders.  The  dazed 
newspaper  people  kept  looking  away  from 
them  and  then  back  again,  but  they  seemed  to 
loom  broader  and  broader  in  the  crowded  little 
hold  room. 

Buck  shifted  uneasily  from  foot  to  foot. 
"Just  set  down,"  said  Buck  to  the  only  girl 
reporter  among  those  present.  "Make  your- 
>clf  comfortable.  The  Bad  News  will  be  here  in 
a  minute.  She's  out  shoppin'." 

The  Bad  News  is  Buck's  wife.  He  seemed  to 
think  another  woman's  presence  would  iron 
everything  out  beautiful  for  the  lone  feminine 
word  slinger. 

Buck  explained  it  wasn't  his  first  trip  to 
New  York.  He'd  been  in  the  city  once  before. 
It  was  on  that  trip  he  met  the  Bad  News  and 
made  her  the  Missus.  She  was  a  trick  rider  in 
the  101  Wild  West  Show  and  rodeos. 

"She  can  do  tricks  now  I  cain't.'"  Buck  said. 
"She  don't  do  much  entertainin'  now,  but  she 
keeps  a  couple  o'  horses  out  to  California  and 
she  rides  around  a  lot. " 

Somebody  asked  Buck  what  he  thought  of 
pictures. 

"Well,"  he  drawled,  "I  ain't  seen  a  lot,  not 
even  so  many  o'  my  own.  I  got  a  new  one  to  do 
when  I  get  back.  It's  a  real  story.  I  don't  care 
so  much  about  the  grown-up  fans,  but  I  like  to 
be  popular  with  the  kids.  Coming  through 
Kansas  we  stopped  at  a  little  town.  The  kids 
learned  I  was  on  the  train  and  they  came  down 
to  greet  me.  That  was  great.  That's  the  kind 
of  a  public  I'm  working  to  have." 

LAURA  LA  PLANTE  was  gay  as  a  child  over 
her  first  visit  to  Xew  York.  Hedda  Hopper 
accompanied  her. 

"Gee,"  said  the  vivid  Hedda,  "I've  always 
wanted  to  show  New  York  to  someone,  but  I 
never  dreamed  it  would  be  such  a  nice  kid  as 
Laura  La  Plante." 

Universal  gave  Laura  a  luncheon  at  a 
Russian  place  where  brotcsh  and  caviare  and 
similar  delicacies  decorated  the  menu  and 
Laura  in  return  gave  one  of  the  best  speeches 
we  have  heard  a  star  make. 

She  looked  so  pretty  and  blonde  sitting  there 
at  the  head  of  a  long  table,  like  an  excited 
infant,  that  she  could  have  risen  and  told  the 
story  of  Man-  and  the  lamb  and  everyone 
would  have  forgiven  her. 

Instead  she  said:  "I've  always  thought  it 
was  better  to  sit  quiet  and  let  people  think  you 
were  a  fool,  than  to  open  your  mouth  and 
prove  it." 

WE  had  tea  with  Margarita  Fischer  the 
other  day  at  the  Algonquin,  that  Xew 
York  hostelry  where  artists  and  writers  con- 
gregate in  such  numbers. 

Margarita  is  a  charming  person.  She  was 
weary  from  days  and  nights  of  wakefulness 
and  worn-  at  the  bedside  of  her  husband, 
Harry  Pollard,  who  has  just  undergone  a 
critical  operation,  but  the  tea  refreshed  her  so 
that  she  talked  willingly  enough,  although  a 
little  shyly. 

"  I'm  always  afraid  of  writers. "  she  said.  "  I 
never  quite  dared  give  out  an  interview  for 
I  don't  care  very  much  about  a  home  and  I 
haven't  any  children.  I  don't  cook  and  I  was 
so  afraid  that  I  might  be  asked  about  all 
those  things." 

She  talked  instead  about  her  married  life  of 
fifteen  years  with  Harry  Pollard,  who  is  now 
her  director.  They  met  when  she  was  only 
thirteen,  a  child  trouper.  They  saw  the  early 
days  of  the  movies  together  and  one  day, 
passing  through  Golden.  Colorado,  they  got 
married  and  have  stayed  that  way  ever  since. 

Thirteen  years  ago  they  did  a  version  of 
"Uncle  Tom's  Cabin."  It  was  a  three  reelerand 
Miss  Fischer  was  Elisa.  Robert  Leonard  was 
Simon  Legree,  ami  Mr.   Pollard   Uncle   Tom. 

Today  Pollard  is  making  the  grand  old  story 
for  Universal,  making  it  on  a  big  scale  this 


time  with  Charles  Gilpin,  the  famous  Negro 
actor  as  Uncle  Tom  and  Pauline  Frederick  as 
1  .  the  negro  woman.    The  thing  that  has 

held  the  production  up,  besides  Mr.  Pollard's 
illness,  has  been  the  hunt  for  a  river  with  ice. 
It's  not  easy  to  find  the  right  kind. 

Margarita  is  going  to  be  Eliza  in  this  as  she 
was  in  the  first  production. 

•Thirteen  years."  smiled  Margarita,  "and 
artistically  I'm  still  a  pickaninny." 

Xyf  AYBE  sorrow  will  bring  them  happiness. 
*"■  You  remember  the  news  that  Ella  Hall 
was  getting  a  divorce  from  her  husband. 
Emory  Johnson?  Well,  she's  withdrawn  the 
action.  But  the  reason  for  it  is  very  tragi  \ 
Their  little  six-year-old  son,  Bernard,  died 
recently. 

That  brought  them  together  again  and  it 
looks  as  though  the  truce  might  become  per- 
manent peace. 

•"THE  French  Revolution  has  been  raging  at 
■*-  Paramount's  Astoria  studio  with  the 
Marquise  de  la  Falaise  as  the  warring  ringleader. 

Glorious  Gloria  has  been  on  the  rampage 
for  weeks.  Her  newest  and  last  Paramount 
picture.  "Fine  Manners,"  has  not  been  going  as 
Gloria  wants  it  to  go.  The  stories  are  that  she 
sat  beside  her  director  and  aided  him  with 
many  words  to  megaphone  the  action,  that 
she  helped  select  the  extras'  wardrobe,  that 
she  looked  after  lighting  and  camera  angles  and 
generally  did  even-thing  but  be  little  Gloria, 
the  actress. 

To  add  to  the  trouble,  she's  had  three 
directors  on  the  story.  Frank  Tuttle  officiated 
at  first.  Then  he  was  taken  ill.  Lewis  Mile- 
stone, who  made  such  an  excellent  job  of  "  The 
Xew  Klondike, "  came  in  next.  Suddenly  he 
got  another  engagement.  Dick  Ralston,  an 
assistant  director,  got  promoted  to  full-fledged 
megaphone  wielding  and.  with  Gloria  beside 
him.  he  started  on  the  task. 

Then  Gloria  fell  ill.  She  had  to  take  a  week 
off  from  the  studio,  a  week  spent  with  her 
children  and  Henry  at  her  beautiful  country 
place  in  Westchester  County. 

When  "Fine  Manners"  is  completed. 
Gloria's  contract  with  Famous  Players  is  also 
worked  out.  She  goes  next  to  United  Artists 
where  she  will  be  in  complete  control  of  her 
productions. 

THERE  seems  to  be  an  epidemic  of  little 
blond  mustaches  among  actors  with  coal 
black  hair. 

I  noticed  the  first  at  the  Sixty  club  on 
Edmund  Lowe.  It  was  very  real  and  \  en- 
blond  and  Eddie  seemed  to  be  rather  ashamed 
of  it. 

LJnusual,  I  thought,  but  changed  my  mind 
the  next  day  when  I  dropped  in  on  Madam 
Glyn's  set  and  saw  another  little  yellow  felloe 
on  Tony  Moreno's  upper  lip. 

Mme.  Glyn  is  responsible  for  Tony's  upper 
lip  dress.  We  understand  it  is  supposed  to  add 
considerably  to  Tony's  IT.  He  is  playing  the 
role  of  an  English  nobleman  in  Madam  Glyn's 
"Love's  Blindness." 

Another  remarkable  thing  in  connection 
with  Tony's  new  job  is  that  he  is  not  a  "pas* 
sionate  lover,"  as  are  most  Glyn  heroes. 
Elinor  seems  to  have  forsaken  the  red-hot 
papa  type  of  man  for  the  cold,  aloof  gent  who 
treats  his  ladies  rough. 

The  volatile  Tony  was  still  in  the  throes  of  an 
internal  upheaval  as  the  result  of  a  fan  letter 
he  had  received,  in  which  the  writer  said  she 
would  just  love  to  see  Tony  make  another 
horse  race  picture  and  that  she  was  impatiently 
awaiting  the  showing  of  the  first.  "Mare 
Nostrum,"  in  her  home  town. 

THE  most  important  stork  date  of  the  sea- 
son happens  early  this  coming  September, 
when  Monsieur  Stork  will  descend  upon  the 
home  of  Samuel  Goldwyn. 

Mrs.  Goldwyn  was  Frances  Howard,  that 
beautiful  girl  who  played  the  Princess  in 
"  Che  Swan"  and  the  lead  in  two  Richard 
Dix  pictures.

Beauty  can  grow  monotonous,  hut  intelligence 
never  does.  Are  you  sure  the  way  you  are

The  colors  you  have  1  een  wearing  arc  excel-

old  rose,  bronze,  golden  brown,  and  white 
You  are  a  little  heavy.  I  think  you  could  lose 
seven  pounds  to  advantage.  You  must  diet  to 
lose  weight  unless  you  take  some  patent  medi- 
cine. Walking  the  two  miles  to  and  from  school 
will  reduce  you  somewhat  at  first,  but  it  will 
not  act  as  your  reducing  remedy  for  long  unless 
accompanied  by  dieting.  The  muscles  soon 
get  a.  customed  to  a  certain  amount  of  exercise 
and  then  unless  the  food  consumption  is  kept 
down,  the  fat  piles  up  again.  However,  if 
you're  a  growing  girl — and  I  judge  you  are — 
wait  until  you  have  attained  your  height  be- 
fore you  start  dieting.  Right  now  if  you  let  the 
sweets  alone  that  will  be  sufficient.  The  same 
thing  follows  for  your  brother.  Superficially. 
I  would  say  he  was  slightly  overweight,  but  if 
he's  under  twenty  he  doesn't  need  to  worry- 
about  it. 

Virginia  M. 

Virginia,  you  need  to  be  scolded.  Y'ou  say 
"I  know  I  am  quite  attractive  when  I  smile. 
which  I  seldom  do" — and  then  you  ask  me 
why  you  fall  flat.  Tall  and  slim  and  blonde 
with  lovely  hair — what  more  do  you  want? 
Really,  I  think  you  are  just  a  foolish  girl  to  feel 
so  terribly  shy  all  the  time  and  to  place  your- 
self at  a  disadvantage.  Your  nearsightedness 
is  a  product  of  this  same  thing,  you  know. 
Y'ou  don't  really  want  to  see  people  so  vou 
make  your  eyes  fail  you.  Stop  "putting  on  a 
bored  expression."  Don't  act.  Nothing  kills 
popularity  more  quickly  than  that.  If  you  are 
afraid  when  boys  come  around  you  it  is  better 
to  tell  them  so.  Men  like  to'be  protective. 
Simplicity,  sweetness,  a  willingness  to  comply 
with  the  crowd,  being  a  good  sport  in  other 
words,  daintiness  in  personal  appearance,  these 
are  the  touchstones  to  friendships.

Did  you  make  a  mistake  in  your  letter?  You

times  for  that.  Rotate  your  arms  in  circles  for 
slim  shoulders.  You  may  grow  some  more,  but 
if  you  don't,  comfort  yourself  with  the  knowl- 
edge that  most  men  are  attracted  to  petite 
women.

Won't  you  write  me  again  and  tell  me  a  little 
more  about  what  studies  you  have  had  at 
school,  the  things  you  like,  and  what  you  think 
you  would  like  to  do  best  of  all?  I  can  better 
advise  you  then.  Xo,  I  don't  think  you  are 
too  young  to  go  to  work  if  you  get  work  that  is 
interesting  and  suited  to  you.  It's  quite  a  fine 
thing  to  work  if  you  love  your  job,  and  it  is 
wonderful  for  a  girl  to  be  economically  inde- 
pendent. Send  me  a  stamped,  self-addressed 
envelope  and  I  will  be  glad  to  write  you 
personally. 

Annette. 

Yes,  this  boy  that  you  say  you  are  in  love 
with  does  owe  you  an  apology.  A  man  who, 
under  the  influence  of  liquor,  is  rude  to  a 
girl  owes  her  as  deep  an  apology  as  he  can  offer. 
You  must  not.  for  your  own  sake,  resume  your 
friendship  until  he  has  proven  to  you  that  he 
regrets  his  ungentlemanly  conduct.  A  wise 
girl,  and  one  who  wishes  to  be  happy,  will  never 
permit  a  man  to  place  her  in  a  position  of  social 
embarrassment. 

M.  H.,  Illinois. 

With  your  ambition  to  write,  your  method 
of  doing  journalistic  bits  for  your  local  paper  is 
the  very  best  method  you  could  have  chosen. 
If  it  is  possible  for  you  to  get  connected  with 
a  writing  job — I  use  the  word  "job"  advisedly 
— where  you  have  to  write  six  days  a  week  in 
a  business-like  manner,  you  will  learn  more 
about  writing  than  any  correspondence  school 
or  college  course  in  writing  would  ever  teach 
you.  Getting  in  the  motion  picture  scenario 
game  is  almost  hopeless.  I  doubt  very  much 
that  you  can  do  it  at  long  distance.  Even  in 
Xew  York  and  Hollywood  it  is  extremely  diffi- 
cult. Stick  to  your  home  town  paper  and  get 
as  much  experience  as  possible  in  this  work  you 
have  chosen,  and,  after  that,  try  your  wings. 

Bonny  E.  L. 

Some  girls  attain  their  height  more  quickly 
than  others.  Since  you  are  5  feet,  seven  inches 
and  only  fourteen  the  possibilities  are  that  you 
will  grow  a  little  more.  Don't  worry  about 
your  weight,  because  at  your  age  girls  fluctuate 
in  poundage  very  greatly.  You  can  wear 
white,  relieved  with  some  other  color:  golden 
brown;  blue;  bright  blues  to  be  avoided;  dark- 
est purple;  no  red;  pale  pink;  soft  rose  and 
bronze.  The  very  familiar  type  hat  known  as 
"cloche,"  made  in  soft  felt,  ought  to  be  most 
becoming  to  you. 

E.  B.  C. 

Don't  be  an  unwise  little  girl  and  leave  home. 
You  are  so  young  I  doubt  if  you  know  what 
love  is.  You  must  take  more  than  gossip  as 
information  about  your  friend.  Is  there  no 
way  that  you  can  Find  out  authoritatively 
whether  or  not  he  is  married?  Do  be  careful 
and  discreet  in  this  matter.  Although  you  are 
fifteen  and  working  you're  little  more  than  a 
child.  It  would  be  better  for  you  to  do  as  your 
mother  advises,  for  a  year  or  two,  than  to  follow 
the  dictates  of  your  emotions. 

Puzzled,  Wisconsin. 

A  girl  doesn't  have  to  be  "tough"  to  be 
popular.     Neither  does  she  have  to  be  pretty, 


but  she  has  to  be  tactful,  charming,  energetic 
and  poised — all  of  these  things.  Emerson  said 
that  the  way  to  have  friends  is  to  be  a  friend. 
I  have  never  known  a  genuinely  friendly  person 
to  be  lonely,  and  I  think  that  is  the  best  rale 
to  follow. 

F.  K.,  Columbus,  Ohio. 

The  style  advices  for  spring  and  summer  are 
that  the  familiar  woolen  fabrics  like  serge, 
tweeds  and  kasha  and  all  the  silks  will  be  worn. 
Coats  again  this  year  will  be  definitely  matched 
to  the  dresses  worn  under  them,  like  the  en- 
semble suit  of  last  spring.  Green  and  gray 
the  most  prominent  of  the  newer  coloi 
All  the  light  shades,  bois  de  rose,  yellow  an 
pale  pink,  will  be  worn  for  summer,  and  all  t 
old  stand-bys,  navy  blue  and  black.  Nothing 
seems  able  to  shake  the  popularity  of  the  soft 
felt  hat  and  I  feel  you  are  safe  in  purchasing  as 
many  of  them  as  you  can  afford. 

Reggie  T. 

The  new  three  inch  heels  are  very  smart  as 
evening  slippers  or  dress  shoes.  I  do  not  ap- 
prove of  them  on  pumps,  in  which  you  expect 
to  do  much  walking.  Xot  only  are  they  bad 
for  the  health,  but  they  cause  the  foot  to 
"rock,"  and  it  doesn't  give  a  nice  appearance 
to  one's  walk.  Earrings  are  worn  by  many  of 
the  smartest  women  and  girls,  but  they  tend 
to  make  one  appear  older  and  you  should  con- 
sider that  when  you  are  buying  them.  You 
will  have  to  screw  them  into  your  ears  tight 
enough  to  hold.  I  certainly  wouldn't  pet 
a  boyish  bob  just  to  wear  earrings.  It  is  a 
trying  cut  and  takes  quite  a  while  to  grow 
back  again  if  it  isn't  becoming.  Consider  your 
features  before  submitting  to  the  barber's 
shears.  Only  girls  with  finely  chiseled  fea- 
tures can  wear  this  bob  becomingly. 

Toots  of  Indiana. 

At  fifteen  years  and  five  feet  tall  you  should 
weigh  115  pounds.  However,  do  not  worry 
about  your  weight  if  it  is  ten  pounds  under  or 
over  that  amount.  For  an  undeveloped  neck 
and  chest  swimming,  tennis  and  any  form  of 
exercise  that  brings  the  arms  into  play  is 
highly  beneficial.  Listerine  will  remedy  dan- 
druff. Dark,  rachel  powder  and  rouge,  either  in 
a  medium  red  or  a  light  pink  tint,  would  be 
most  becoming.  I  would  experiment  with 
these  two  to  see  which  is  the  better. 

Casey,  Fresno,  Calif. 

Why  doesn't  your  mother  approve  of  this 
boy  friend  of  yours?  That's  your  question. 
Casey.  If  he  is  a  nice  boy,  I  don't  see  why  she 
won't  let  you  write  to  him  or  why  his  mother 
won't  let  him  write  to  you.  If  he  is  a  boy  your 
mother  has  some  good  reason  for  not  liking.  I 
think  the  best  thing  for  you  to  do  is  to  forget 
him  immediately.  In  spite  of  the  flapper 
movement,  mothers  still  know  best. 

Jessie. 

There  are  many  pros  and  cons  regarding  the 
use  of  water  on  the  lace.  It  depends  greatly  on 
whether  your  skin  is  an  oily  one.  The  finest 
complexions  I  have  seen  have  been  those  that 
use  water  in  this  way — a  daily  bath  and 
thorough  cleansing  with  a  good  soap,  and  a 
good  amount  of  drinking  water  consumed,  in 
conjunction  with  a  careful  diet  and  the  skin 
sensibly  protected  from  too  much  dust  and 
dirt.  You  can  wear  white,  relieved  with  some 
other  color:  golden  brown:  blue:  no  red:  dark- 
est purple:  pale  pink  and  soft  rose.  You  didn't 
ask  too  many  questions  at  all.  Write  me  again, 
if  you  want  to.

1  simply  think  you  don't  know  what  you're 
talking  about.    There  is  much  more  to  having 
a  baby  than  cuddling  it  in  your  arms.    I 
real  woman  adores  them,  of  course,  hut  there 
are  many   moments   when   the   loveliest    baby 

becomes'  a  persistent,  though  adorable,  nui- 
sance. Babies  need  thought,  constant  care, 
constant  work,  a  planning  for  their  future 
which  comes  not  alone  from  a  certain  maturity 
oi  years  hut  a  definite  maturity  of  viewpoint. 

You  may  dream  romantically  about  a  child, 

but  if  you  are  to  be  a  good  mother  you  must 
bring  it  up  with  fine  realism,  (let  married 
first.  Mary  Lou.  After  that  there  will  be  lots 
of  time  to  dream  of  your  babies.

For  permanent  relief  of  superfluous  hair 
there  is  nothing  as  effective  as  the  electric 
needle.  The  so-called  electrolysis  treatment 
must  be  done  by  an  expert,  however,  and  it  is 
quite  expensive.  In  cases  not  as  extreme  as 
yours  bleaching  by  peroxide  has  been  found 
effective.  I  wouldn't  advise  you  to  continue 
using  depilatories.  I  think  you  better  look  up 
a  good  specialist  and  consult  him. 

Laura  Lee,  Calif. 

\s  far  as  I  know  there  is  nothing  that  can  be 
done  for  a  bust  that  has  developed  too  heavily. 
Wear  a  light  brassiere  and  carry  yourself  very 
erectly.  I  would  advise  you  to  wear  straight 
line  dresses  and  probably  when  you  get  a  little 
older  the  rest  of  your  figure  will  develop  in 
proportion. 

M  \rieD.,  Chicago. 

Stop  using  glycerine  on  your  face  at  night. 
Use  more  warm  water  and  good  soap  and  finish 
your  cleansing  with  a  rub-down  with  ice.  You 
are  giving  your  skin  too  much  grease  and  oil 
at  present.  You  may  need  a  change  of  diet. 
\\  ith  the  coming  of  spring  eat  all  the  green 
vegetables  you  can  and  drink  lots  of  water.

If  you  will  read  the  colors  I  have  given  to 
"An  Ugly  Duckling''  you  will  find  these  are 
your  colors,  too.  Here  is  an  excellent  tonic  for 
the  eyebrows  and  eyelashes:  Yellow  vaseline, 
two  ounces;  oil  of  lavender,  15  drops;  and  oil  of 
rosemary,  15  drops.  Mix  thoroughly.  After 
you  wash  your  face  at  night  brush  your  eye- 
brows with  the  tiny  brush  upon  which  a  few- 
drops  of  the  tonic  has  been  placed.  Particular 
pains  must  be  taken  if  you  apply  this  tonic  to 
the  eyelashes,  as  it  will  inflame  the  eyes,  as 
any  oil  will,  if  it  gets  into  them.  To  develop 
the  natural  wave  in  your  hair  buy  good  water 
wave  combs  and  put  them  in  nightly.  Also 
brush  your  hair  a  lot  and  do  not  have  it 
artificially  curled.  In  a  short  time  your 
natural  waves  will  be  very  prominent.

may  take  care  of  this  excess  weight  for  you. 
You  might  stop  eating  candy,  and  net  as  much 
exercise  as  you  possibly  can.  You're  using 
cream  and  hot  towels  for  your  blackheads  is 
all  very  well,  but  you  must  close  your  skin 
afterward  by  a  rub-down  with  ice.  I  think 
that  will  remedy  the  condition. 

E.  F.,  Bridgeport. 

Since  the  nose  is  a  combination  of  bone  and 
cartilige,  it  is  quite  difficult  to  change  the 
shape  of  it  after  maturity.  It  is  true  that  even 
though  the  shape  of  one's  nose  may  not  appear 
perfect,  it  is  suited  to  the  rest  of  the  face. 
You  can  wear  golden  yellow;  buff;  pale  and  pea- 
cock blues;  silver  gray;  no  purple;  cardinal 
and  clear  red;  yellow  in  every  tone;  coral;  old 
rose  and  flesh  pink.  Straight  line  dresses 
would  be  most  becoming  to  you.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  they  are  always  smarter  than  those 
with  flounces. 

J.  E.,  Michigan. 

If  you  have  gone  to  the  best  photographer's 
for  your  picture,  I  cannot  understand  why  you 
do  not  take  a  satisfactory  one.  Perhaps  it  is 
that  you  feel  rather  artificial  when  you  go 
there,  or  that  you  have  your  hair  done  in  a 
manner  unlike  your  usual  way,  or  wear  un- 
familiar clothes — something  that  produces  a 
change  in  your  appearance.  A  good  photo- 
graph should  be  as  natural  as  possible.  It  is 
better  to  go  to  the  photographer's  wearing  old 
and  comfortable  clothes,  with  which  you  can  be 
yourself,  than  new  things  which  give  you  an 
uneasy  feeling.  Don't  worry  about  your  little 
boy's  curls.  He  will  be  glad  when  he  grows  up 
that  he  lost  them.  Did  you  ever  know  a  man 
with  curly  hair  who  didn't  hate  it? 

Betty  L.,  Harriman,  Tenn. 

Ninety-eight  pounds  is  rather  slim,  even  for 
a  short  girl.  You  seem  to  be  taking  a  great 
deal  of  exercise — quite  enough  to  get  real  bene- 
fit from  it.  What  you  need  is  a  good  diet. 
Drink  at  least  a  quart  of  milk  a  day  and  eat 
plenty  of  fattening  foods  such  as  potatoes, 
macaroni  and  cereals.  Only  eat  meat  once  a 
day  at  the  very  most  and  get  plenty  of  sleep. 
If  possible,  rest  for  a  half  hour  or  more  after 
every  meal.  And  do  not  drink  either  tea  or 
coffee — for  a  while  anyway.  I  think  you'll 
find  that  your  complexion  will  te  much  im- 
proved if  you  give  up  coffee  and  meat  and  make 
milk  and  vegetables  your  chief  foods. 

Jayne,  Portland,  Ore. 

Thank  you  very  much  for  your  frank  and 
friendly  letter.  I  think  that  1  lue  would  be 
very  becoming  to  you  for  your  day  dresses. 
In  the  evening,  you  can  wear  powder  blue,  pink 
or  lavender.  As  you  say,  I  think  "the  faintest 
touch  of  lipstick"  would  be  quite  the  right 
thing  for  parties.  Properly  used,  it  improves 
the  appearance  immensely.  Use  a  light  shade. 
The  practice  of  telephoning  the  1  oys  is  not  a 
good  one  and,  as  a  rule,  the  1  oys  don't  like  it. 
But  if  you  have  anything  important  to  say. 
certainly  telephone  the  1  oy.  But  remember 
that  the  telephone  is  only  a  convenience. 
Don't  make  it  a  habit.  You  are  not  too  young 
to  have  boy  friends,  provided  you  keep  all 
your  friendships  on  a  sensible  basis.  But  as 
for  romance,  you  are  rather  too  young  for  that. 
If  you  want  to  entertain  a  1  oy  friend,  ask  your 
mother  if  you  may  invite  him  to  dinner.  And 
after  dinner,  you  might  invite  another  con- 
genial couple  to  join  you.  As  for  your  other 
question:  don't  criticize  the  1  oys.  Don't  tell 
them  point  blank  what  you  don't  like.  There 
are  hundreds  of  other  ways  of  letting  them 
know  your  feelings.  But  fault-finding  never 
jet  pleased  a  man — no  matter  what  his  age. 

P.  R..  Oil  City.  Pa. 

My  dear,  in  this  day  and  age,  there  are  no 
such  tilings  as  "love  potions."  As  the  young 
man  seems  to  be  too  much  occupied  with  1  usi- 
ness  to  have  time  for  romance,  I  think  it  might 
be  well  if  you  adopted  the  same  attitude. 
Obviously,  he  is  the  sort  of  man  who  is  looking 
for  a  sensible  wile  and  if  you  can  prove  to  him 


th::t  you  are  that  sort  of  girl,  I  think  you  v  ill 
win  him.  lie  seems  to  l.e  a  very  steadfast 
friend  and  you  must  not  spoil  the  friendship 
by  forcing  him  into  a  romantic  situation. 
Probably  in  good  time,  he  will  speak  hb  mind. 
Take  an  interest  in  his  business  and  make  him 
feel  that  you  have  his  lest  interests  at  1. 
But  don't  expect  a  business  man  to  play  the 
role  of  Romeo. 

Dorothy.  Mexico  City. 

There  is  only  one  thing  for  you  to  do — over- 
come your  self-consciousness.  All  sorts  of  little 
details  that  have  nothing  to  do  with  the  case 
seem  to  be  worrying  you.  Popularity  usually 
comes  to  those  who  are  friendly,  natural  and 
unaffected  with  others.  Gay.  cheerful  and 
kindly  people,  who  are  not  acutely  I  othercd  by 
their  own  little  troubles,  are  the  ones  who  are 
never  lonely  and  never  neglected.  Try  for- 
getting yourself  and  try  thinking  only  of  others. 
Some  girls  who  are  popular  with  the  1  oys  try- 
to  pretend  that  they  do  nothing  to  make  them- 
selves attractive.  But.  if  you'll  look  close 
enough,  you'll  see  that  even  the  most  popular 
belles  never  relax  in  their  efforts  to  please  the 
men.

If  you  will  consult  the  advertisements  in 
Photoplay,  you  will  find  some  excellent  treat- 
ments for  removing  superfluous  hair.  And  you 
will  also  find  some  astringents  for  enlarged 
pores.  Be  sure  to  rinse  your  face  thoroughly 
with  cold  water  or  rub  your  face  with  ice  after 
washing.

As  you  are  tall  for  your  age.  your  weight  is 
about  right.  You  will  probably  gain  eight  or 
ten  more  pounds  as  you  grow  older.  Your 
routine  for  the  day  seems  very  sensible  and  you 
will  be  repaid  in  good  health.  Try  a  brunette 
powder  and  a  dark  rose  rouge.  If  you  are  tired 
of  red  dresses,  why  not  change  to  orange  or 
green?  It  is  correct  to  wear  a  shoe  with  a 
medium  high  heel.  I  know  of  many  women 
who  are  uncomfortable  in  a  low  heel  shoe. 
However,  do  not  wear  the  extreme  French 
heels  with  jour  even-day  dresses.

You  ought  to  lose  al  out  twenty-five  pounds, 
and  the  best  way  is  to  eliminate  all  sweets  and 
starches  from  your  diet.  Avoid  fried  foods  and 
those  rich  in  oils  and  fats.  Beware,  too.  of  the 
tempting  "second  helping"  and  the  little 
luncheons  between  meals.  You  are  rather 
young  to  consider  dancing  as  a  career,  espe- 
cially asit  means  a  great  sacrifice  for  you.  I  am 
sure  that  your  school  gymnasium  can  give  you 
a  great  deal  of  helpful  preliminary  training, 
and.  after  a  year  or  so.  you  can  make  up  your 
mind  definitely  about  your  career.  However, 
the  course  you  mention  is  said  to  be  excellent 
Flower  scents  are  always  attractive  for  young 
girls.  As  for  your  colors,  I  would  recommend 
dark  blue  for  daytime  wear,  with  light  1  lue, 
green  and  rose  in  the  evening. 

Ruth  D..  Detroit.  Mich. 

Premature  grey  hair  seems  to  run  in  some 
families.  It  is  difficult  to  combat.  The  best 
thing  to  do  is  to  go  to  a  good  hair  specialist  and 
have  her  recommend  a  treatment,  as  you  do 
not  wish  to  dye  it.  As  for  your  other  scalp 
troubles.  I  should  advise  hot  oil  shampoos. 
Some  shops  also  give  an  iodine  treatment  that 
is  excellent  for  the  hair. 

Arofm.  Long  Beach,  L.  I. 

If  you  have  dramatic  talent  it  will  be  good 
for  you  to  go  to  dramatic  school  and  develop 
that  talent.  Of  course,  poise  and  savoir  faire 
will  come  to  you  as  you  grow  older,  but  stage 
experience,  even  though  amateur,  does  help 
give  you  a  manner  and  an  air.

Your  weight   is  about   right.      I  >o  not   wear 

your  hair  high,  for  that  will  accentuate  the

Hi  1  ,  Mo\  n;r  \i  .  Que. 

It  is  a  very  simple  matter  to  have  a  mole 
removed  from  youi  face  if  a  reliable  surgeon 
does  it  It  can  be  cut  off,  Ka\  ing  a  slight  scar 
which,  in  the  course  ol  a  few  month-,  disappears 
almost  entirely.  Or  you  might  try  the  mole 
removers  advertised  in  this  magazine;  thej  are 
quite  safe.  If  you  care  for  the  man  and  there  is 
companionship  and  understanding  between 
you,  your  marriage  should  prove  to  be  a  happy 
one  in  spite  oi  the  difference  in  your  ages.  Bui 
think  well.  A  marriage  without  love  and 
respect  cannot  last  long.  Think  of  your  own 
happiness  and  his.  What  do  you  really  want 
to  do?

Many  girls  grow  suddenly  \  ery  tall  and  their 
hands  and  feet  stem  much  loo  big,  hut  their 
bodies  gradually  take  on  correct  proportions. 
N'ou  will  find  that  that  is  what  will  happen  to 
you  SO  you  need  not  worry,  for  you  have  three 
or  four  years  yet  before  you  will  he  full)  grown. 
Don't  wear  your  dresses  too  long.  Wear  colors 
that  suit  a  dark  skin  best— green,  rose.  tan. 
brown  and  white.  Wear  your  hair  straight 
if  it  looks  well  that  way.  You  must  take  care 
of  your  nails;  nothing  makes  a  girl  look  more 
unkempt  and  untidy.  By  all  means  finish  your 
schooling  and  sec  what  a  good  record  you  can 
make.  It  would  be  too  bad  for  you  to  leave 
school  now  when  you  are  at  the  head  of  your 
class. 

Nancy,  Charleston-,  W.  Ya. 

Perhaps  you  put  on  too  much  rouge  and  lip- 
stick for  your  coloring  should  not  be  hard  to 
match.  Try  very  dark  rouge  and  lipstick,  but 
use  them  sparingly.  Wear  tan  and  brown  and 
yellow  in  all  shades.  Yes,  indeed,  if  you  play 
tennis  and  swim  every  day  this  summer  you 
will  be  astonished  to  see  how  much  you  will 
lose.  That  is,  if  you  eat  only  a  moderate 
amount.  If  you  allow  your  increased  appetite 
to  run  away  with  you  your  exercise  will  not  do 
much  for  you.

You  will  find  that  spx>rt  clothes  are  the  most

Surely  you  realize  that  it  is  up  to  you  to  take 
yourself  in  hand  and  stop  being  sarcastic.  I 
think  the  most  effective  way  to  cure  yourself 
will  be  to  imagine  yourself  in  the  other  person's 
place.  Y"ou  know  how  you  are  hurt  when  am  - 
one  says  something  cutting  and  thoughtless  to 
you.  Before  you  make  some  biting  remark 
stop  long  enough  to  wonder  how  you  would  like 
to  have  it  said  to  you.  This  is  a  dreadful 
fault  which  you  must  overcome  at  once.  Y'ou 
are  on  the  right  track  for  you  realize  your  fault 
and  do  not  have  to  be  persuaded  of  it. 

Aussie  Girl,  Sydney,  Australia. 

Yours  is  indeed  a  problem  and  it  worried  me 
when  I  first  read  your  letter.  But  I  don't  think 
you  are  in  love  with  this  man  if  you  can  doubt 
him.  All  through  your  letter  you  keep  referring 
to  things  he  has  told  you  which  you  do  not  be- 
lieve. If  you  really  loved  him,  it  would  never 
enter  your  head  not  to  believe  him.  If  your 
mother  and  father  are  so  good  to  you  it  isn't 
awfully  sporting  to  deceive  them,  and  they 
doubtless  know  what  is  best  for  you.

The  Movies  Have  Arrived 

Astoria.  Lorn;  Island. 

It  is  high  time  that  some  one  came  to  dispute 
the  self-asserted  right  of  the  intelligentsia  in 
deriding  the  cinema  as  an  art. 

Up  to  a  year  or  two  ago,  lampooning  the 
movies  was  a  favorite  and  quite  diverting  indoor 
sport  of  practically  everybody.  Adverse  crit- 
icism even  then  was  justifiable  only  to  a  certain 
degree.  But  with  the  advent  of  certain  pic- 
tures that  have  been  unreeled  in  this  country 
recently,  one  is  obliged  to  acknowledge  the  fact 
that  the  motion  picture  industry  is  no  longer  a 
coming  one,  but  has  quite  definitely  arrived 
and  is  doing  nicely. 

The  drama,  a  very  much  older  sister  art.  can- 
not honestly  snub  the  motion  picture  now. 
The  young  protege  shows  promise  of  becoming 
not  only  commercially  and  aesthetically  an 
equal,  but  in  originality  and  artistry,  the 
superior  of  the  other  arts. 

Herman  Weinberg. 

So  Would  We 

London,  England. 
I  should  like  to  see  Colleen  Moore  in  a  new 
version  of  "Bab,"  by  Mary  Roberts  Rinehart. 
Pauline  Frederick  in  "The  Second  Mrs.  Tan- 
queray,"  by  Pinero.  Jackie  Coogan  in  "Sans 
Famille,"  by  Hector  Mallot.  Ramon  Xovarro 
in  "Deerfoot  the  Shawanoe,"  by  E.  S.  Ellis. 
Mary  Pickford  in  "Chiffon's  Marriage,"  by 
Gyp.  H.  de  H. 

"Kenilworth"  for  Screen 

Ashby,  Mass. 

Since  Cal  York  and  others  have  spoken  right 
out  with  suggested  picture  subjects,  may  I  add 
the  following: 

"Kenilworth,"  with  Clare  Eames  as  Queen 
Elizabeth.  Her  vivid  portrait  of  the  "king  in 
petticoats"  of  Mary  Pickford 's  "Dorothy  Ver- 
non" remains  the  outstanding  feature  of  the 
picture. 

In  "Kenilworth"  Miss  Eames  would  find 
opportunity  to  complete  the  characterization — 
to  show  the  lonely,  embittered  woman  behind 
the  mask  of  majesty  and  ironic  humor. 

E.  M.  Stone. 

The  Screen's  Bernhardt  and  Dvise 

Dover,  Delaware. 

I  have  read  to  the  end  of  Mrs.  St.  Johns' 
article  on  Norma  Talmadge,  and  while  she  has 
said  some  very  true  things,  I  cannot  agree  with 
her  in  regard  to  Norma's  supremacy. 

Miss  Talmadge  is  one  of  the  two  foremost 
stars  of  the  screen;  the  other  one  is  Gloria 
Swanson,  not  Colleen  Moore. 

In  the  first  place,  it  is  about  five  years  too 
soon  to  discuss  this  question,  but  as  it  has  boon 
brought  up,  I  should  like  to  express  my  opinion. 

George  Bernard  Shaw  and  Adda  St.  Johns 
are  the  only  critics  I  have  known  to  dispute  the 
greatness  of  Bernhardt  as  an  actress.  Even- 
thing  Shaw  says  has  to  be  taken  with  a  pinch  of 
salt.  It  would  seem  now  that  the  same  will 
have  to  be  applied  to  Mrs.  St.  Johns. 

Dusc  was  perhaps  a  greater  actress  and  a 
finer  character  than  Bernhardt  but,  neverthe- 
less, they  wore  both  marvelous  actresses  and 
great  women. 

Gloria  Swanson  and  Norma  Talmadge  hold 
parallel  positions  on  the  screen;  the  former  a 
disciple  of  Bernhardt  and  the  latter  a  disciple 
of  Duse.  Bernhardt  was  one  of  the  highlights 
of  the  world  since  the  day  she  first  appeared  in 
London  and  captivated  English  society  by  her 
flaming  genius,  to  the  day  she  was  drawn  down 
the  Rue  Royale  on  her  last  journey. 

I  predict  the  same  career  for  Gloria  Swanson. 
She  has  been  in  the  limelight  since  she  appeared 


as  "Zaza"  and  in  "The  Humming  Bird,"  and, 
although  her  doom  has  been  foretold  many 
times  in  the  last  few  months,  she  is  rising 
steadily  and  surely.  Who  shall  say  that  the 
glory  that  was  Bernhardt's  has  not  descended 
on  this  lovely  lady? 

Xorma  Talmadge.  though  more  beautiful, 
looks  somewhat  as  Duse  did  thirty  yean 
and  she  appears  to  lead  the  same  secluded  life. 
Duse's  motto  was  "live  fully."  and  she  cer- 
tainly did.  I  do  not  know  whether  Miss  Tal- 
madge does  this,  but  she  can  lay  greater  claim 
to  being  the  Duse  of  the  screen  than  can  Lillian 
Gish.  who  has-been  placed  properly  by  Mrs.  St. 
Johns. 

In  naming  the  great  artists  of  the  screen 
some  mention  should  be  made  -of  Xazimova 
and  Pauline  Frederick,  both  admirable  ac- 
tresses who  seem  to  have  been  lost  in  the  storm.

Bouquet  for  Betty 

Xew  York  City.  X.  Y. 
I  want  to  express  my  admiration  for  Betty 
Bronson.  She  is  my  favorite,  and  even'  time  I 
see  her  (nine  times  in  three  pictures,  so  far;  I 
feel  just  so  much  more  satisfied  with  my  choice. 
Believe  me,  Betty,  I  wish  you  every'  bit  of  luck.

More  Power  to  Marmont 

Xorfolk.  Va. 

Ever  since  I  could  be  interested  in  anything, 
I  have  studied  drama  and  acting,  to  me  the 
greatest  of  all  arts.  I  have  thrilled  over  talent 
on  stage  and  screen,  but  never  before  have  I 
seen  the  genius  that  is  brought  out  in  the  work 
of  Percy  Marmont. 

"The  Light  That  Failed"  was  the  first  play 
that  attracted  my  attention.  Those  following 
were  far  inferior  to  an  actor  of  his  ability. 
Then  came  another  good  one.  "If  Winter 
Comes."  which  was  in  some  ways  worthy  of 
him.  When  "The  Street  of  Forgotten  Men" 
was  released  in  New  York.  I  saw  it  three  times 
and  believe  it  to  be  a  great  picture,  well  cast 
and  well  directed. 

In  his  work  Mr.  Marmont  never  fails  to  act 
up  to  every  situation,  yet  never  one  gesture,  a 
facial  expression,  or  a  movement  is  overdone. 
How  well  he  carries  out  Hamlet's  instructions 
to  his  players. 

It  is  rare  to  find  perfect  technique  combined 
with  the  depth  of  feeling  that  one  senses  in  Mr. 
Marmont's  work.  A  Virginian. 

Away  with  the  Sheiks! 

Snyder,  Calif. 

I'm  sick  and  tired  of  hearing  people  call 
Douglas  Fairbanks,  Tom  Mix.  Gloria  Swan- 
son and  Mae  Murray  show-offs.  They  are  all 
top-notch  players  and  deserve  a  grand  bou- 
quet. It  is  about  time  that  Valentino  and 
those  other  sheiks  were  given  the  back  seat, 
and  I  rejoice  at  the  success  of  Ramon  Xovarro, 
Richard  Dix  and  Richard  Barthelmess. 

Great  Men  Make  History 

Franklin.  Term. 

I  noticed  H.  J.  W.  and  "Lou  and  John" 
criticising  Conway  Tearle  and  Milton  Sills, 
even  going  so  far  as  to  say  that  Mr.  Tearle  was 
past  history.  Did  they  ever  think  that  it  takes 
great  men  to  make  history? 

I  like  the  young  actors  very  much,  but  who 
of  them  could  play  the  roles  that  Frank  Mayo, 
Conway  Tearle  and  Milton  Sills  do,  and  reach 
the  hearts  of  as  many  as  these  three  stars? 

I  want  to  thank  every  actor  and  actress  and 
every  director  for  the  amusement  they  have 
furnished  me  in  past  years.  Also  I  wish  to 
thank  Photoplay  for  the  entertainment  I  get 
in  its  pages  Jack.

l  differ  so  decidedly  with  that  charming 
woman,  Adda  Rogers  St.  Johns,  on  our  great 
est  ai  tress 

1  have  always  thought  of  Norma  Talmadge 
a  .1  typical  st.uk  actress,  never  rising  to  anj 
great  heights. 

She  is  surely  a  capable  actress,  but  then  so 
arc  several  other  s<  reen  luminaries. 

Granted  thai  slu-  .an  "emote"  with  tin- 
lust  of  the  bosom  heavers,  but  that  is  only 
one  essential. 

\\  lure  is  her  versatility? 

JTo  me,  at  least,  she  seems  an  actress  lack- 
ing humor. 

I  believe  Pauline  Frederick  could  play  the 

roles  Mrs.  St.  Johns  lists  with  real  arti-ln  ami 
make  Norma  look  like  a  struggling  extra,  with 

the  exception  of  Ptittyaitna.    Miss  Frederick  is 

in  her  forties.  Norma,  \\  hen  she  is  at  that  are. 
could  no  more  play  PoUyamta  than  Samuel 
i  ioldwyn. 

Versatility  is  merely  a  part  of  great  acting. 
lew  actresses  can  be  called  ^reat  and  Norma 
ralmadge  is  not  one  of  them. 

1  have  seen  all  of  her  pictures  and  have 
never  seen  her  reach  the  heights  Frederick 
did  in  "Madame  X,"  or  that  Lillian  Gish  did 
in  "  Broken  Blossoms." 

Why  did  Mrs.  St.  Johns  ignore  Pauline 
Frederick,  the  one  great  aetress  of  the  screen, 
when  making  her  comparisons?

A  Censor  Cure 

Chapel  HiU,  N.  C. 

Recently  I  read  an  article  wherein  most  of 
the  moralizing  flapdoodle  of  the  movies  was 
laid  to  our  inane  censors.  Now,  as  one  who 
greatly  enjoys  moving  pictures  and  who  has 
often  shuddered  at  the  things  done  to  plots 
and  subtitles  by  these  inane  censors,  1  bear 
them  no  love.  But  the  whole  blame  can't  be 
thrust  upon  them. 

In  the  "Grand  Duchess  and  the  Waiter" 
there  is  champagne,  sophistication  and  sex — 
things  which  the  censors  delight  to  pounce 
upon. 

Yet  it  is  so  perfectly  directed,  acted  and 
handled  throughout,  that  no  censor,  unless  a 
moron,  would  cut  it. 

The  most  squeamish  critic  could  not  fail  to 
call  it  art. 

Most  of  the  "flapdoodle"  of  the  movies  goes 
right  back  to  the  studios.  With  more  directors 
like  Mai  St.  Clair,  Herbert  Brenon  and  Lu- 
bitsch,  more  pictures  with  the  finesse  of 
"Stella  Dallas,"  "The  Big  Parade"  and 
"Lady  Windermere's  Fan,"  more  actors  with 
the  intelligence  of  Adolphe  Menjou,  John  Gil- 
bert and  Florence  Vidor,  censorship  will  die  of 
topheaviness. 

Soon  it  will  be  just  as  sacrilegious  to 
"mangle"  first  class  pictures  as  to  turn 
loose  a  gang  of  small  boys  with  paint  buckets 
in  the   Metropolitan  Museum  —  and  just  as 

unnecessary-

Sheiks  may  come  and  sheiks  may  go,  but 
the  good  old  characters  will  continue  forever. 
These  dapper  young  men  that  thrill  us  for  the 
moment  can  never  leave  a  lasting  remembrance 
with  us,  as  do  some  of  the  fine  types  of  men 
who  have  been  actors  for  many  years.  All  the 
praise  and  applause  these  days  go  to  the 
younger  fellows,  but  here's  a  bouquet  for  a 
"real  actor,"  Mr.  Alec  B.  Francis. 

Mr.  Francis,  in  my  estimation,  is  one  of  the 
finest  actors  on  the  screen.  As  the  padre  in 
"Thunder  Mountain,"  Mr.  Francis  was  ex- 
cellent, but  in  "Thank  You"  no  mere  words 
can  express  his  ability. 

What  a  wonderful  man  Mr.  Francis  must  be 
in  real  life.

Four 
Simple  Ways 

to  improve  your  skin 
—NOW! 

tfyFRF.D  INGRAM  Jr.,  ph.  c 
B.  Sc.,(Phann.) 

I .  From  1  (i  to  30  you  need  from  1Yi  to 
8  hours  sleep) — atlcast  four  nights  out 
of  seven.  At  30  to  ,r>0,  6J2  to  7  hours 
will  do  with  a  daily  short  rest  after 
lunch  or  just  before  dinner.  If  you 
would  have  beauty  after  30 — get  your 
rest.  No  cream  or  cosmetic  can 
compete  with  loss  of  sleep. 

And  you  simply  must  to /each  day 
either  lettuce,  celery,  cabbage,  carrots, 
spinach,  oranges,  white  cherries,  grape- 
fruit, lemons  or  tomatoes.  Your  doc- 
tor will  tell  you  just  what  combina- 
tions are  good  for  you  personally. 
Sleep  and  these  foods  are  a  sure 
foundation  for  beauty. 

II.  For  the  arms,  neck,  shoulders  and 
hands — at  least  once  a  day,  lukewarm 
water  and  any  good  soap  (Ingram's 
Milkweed  Cream  Soap  is  fine).  Then  use 
Ingram's  Milkweed  Cream  on  hands, 
arms,  neck  and  shoulders.  Rub  it  in 
gently.  Don't  rub  it  off.  Use  only  at 
night  before  retiring — wear  old  gloves 
on  hands.  You  will  be  astonished. 
Your  friends  will  comment  on  the  re- 
markable change  in  the  appearance  of 
your  skin  with  this  simple,  common 
sense  treatment.  Under  no  conditions 
use  any  other  cream  while  you  are 
making  this  test. 

III.  For  the  face,  give  our  cream  two 
weeks'  exclusive  use.  Write  the  date 
on  the  label  so  that  you  may  watch  re- 
sults carefully.  Use  no  other  cream  of 
any  kind.  Wash  your  face  at  night 
with  lukewarm  water  and  Ingram's 
Milkweed  Cream  Soap.  Rub  cream  in 
gently;  don't  rub  it  off.  Use  morning 
and  night,  using  water  only  at  night  to 
cleanse  face.  Blotches,  blemishes, 
blackheads,  redness,  tan,  wind-  and 
-unburn  will  go  if  you  follow  the  diet 
suggested  and  use  Ingram's  Milkweed 
Cream  exclusively . 

Women  today  will  tell  you  this 
simple  treatment  gets  results.  We 
have  thousands  of  letters  over  a  period 
of  40  years  that  back  up  our  state- 
ments. And  today  thousands  are  en- 
joying the  beauty  insurance  which 
this  simple  method  brings. 

IV.  If  you  have  a  good  beauty  shop 
operator,  stay  with  her,  but  insist  that 
she  use  your  own  jar  of  Ingram's 
Milkweed  Cream.  Infections  are  dan- 
gerous. Not  one  woman  in  a  hundred 
has  a  scientific  beauty  operator. 

We  are  always  glad  to  answer  ques- 
tions— to  help  those  who  have  been  un- 
successful in  their  search  for  skin  love- 
liness. Particularly  those  who  want  to 
protect  their  beauty  over  a  long  period 
of  years. 

If  you  are  in  doubt,  take  no  chances. 
Do  your  own  facials,  arm,  neck,  hand 
and  shoulder  treatments  at  home.  We 
will  teach  you  how  in  our  little  bock 
that  comes  with  each  jar  of  Ingram's 
Milkweed  Cream.

Read  the  common-sense  column  at  the  left  — it  tells 
you  how.  Then  obtain  a  jar  of  Ingram's  Milkweed 
Cream  at  your  favorite  store.  Get  it  in  the  fifty  cent  or 
dollar  size.   The  dollar  size  is  more  economical. 

Begin  its  daily  use  today.  It  will  mean  so  much  to  you. 
And  remember:     You  need  only  one  cream  .   .  .     Ingram's.

The  Powder 
Beauties  Use 

By  Edna  Wallace  Hopper. 

Wo  on  the  st:iKc  and  in  the  movies  use  exquisite 
powders.  Wo  don't  care  what  we  pay.  Beauty  is 
our  chief  asset,  and  fine  powder  is  an  aid  to  beauty. 
I  used  to  pay  So.  per  box  for  my  powder.  So  did 
most  of  my  friends. 

Now  I  have  induced  those  great  powder  makers  to 
supply  me  their  best,  by  the  million  boxes,  at  modest 
prices.  So  the  best  face  powder  I  have  ever  found  is 
at  your  call  today.  All  toilet  counters  supply  it  as 
Edna  Wallace  Hopper's  Face  Powder. 

You  will  never  realize  how  face  powders  can  differ 
until  you  try  my  kind.  You  will  never  know  how 
much  the  right  face  powder  adds  to  one's  appearance. 

This  powder  comes  in  two  types.  I  use  a  heavy 
cold  cream  powder,  because  it  clings  and  stays.  That 
cost  you  SI.  per  box.  But  the  same  powder  comes 
i  1  the  light,  fluffy  type  at  50  cents  per  box.  And 
both  come  in  several  shades. 

Let  me  send  you  samples  inbedded  in  dainty  tabs. 
You  will  be  delighted.  You  will  learn  for  the  first 
time  what  exquisite  powder  means.  The  coupon  will 
bring  the  samples,  also  my  Beauty  Book.  Clip  it 
now.  I  believe  that  never  again  will  you  be  content 
with  ordinary  powders.

When  will  ZaSu  Pitts  have  a  chance — when 
will  she  be  given  an  opportunity  to  show  us 
what  she  can  do?  When  will  she  get  to  wear 
the  beautiful  spider  web  fabrics  in  keeping 
with  her  beauty?  When  will  she  have  the 
chant  e  to  play  the  role  thousands  of  less  beau- 
tiful actresses  have  had?  How  much  longer 
must  those  tragically  beautiful  eyes  be  over- 
looked by  the  directors  and  movie  folk?  Shall 
those  artistic  hands  always  belong  merely  to 
the  poor  little  imbecile  that  she  is  forced  to 
portray?  The  writer  is  wondering  if  ZaSu 
Pitts  will  ever  be  given  an  opportunity  to  come 
into  her  own — to  show  us  what  she  really  can 
do.  Truly  she  is  as  tragic  and  appealing  as  the 
wistful  Lillian  Gish,  buc  more  beautiful.  For 
years  she  has  been  denied  the  chance  of  her 
life,  and  after  ''Mannequin"  I  cannot  refrain 
from  asking  if  ZaSu's  lot  shall  always  be  that 
of  the  ignorant  servant  girl.

A  word  about  Valentino.  These  are  the  rea- 
sons I  think  his  popularity  has  waned  since 
"The  Four  Horsemen"  and  "The  Sheik." 

In  the  above  named  pictures  Rudolph  showed 
us  the  gay,  passionate  Latin  lover — a  juggler  of 
women's  hearts.  A  bit  ruthless,  perhaps,  but 
oh,  how  fascinating! 

Now,  only  Rudolph's  perfect  manners  save 
him  from  being  completely  Americanized. 
Either  his  personality  has  undergone  a  change 
or  he  is  showing  us  a  less  interesting  facet  of  it. 
forever  since  "The  Four  Horsemen"  and  "The 
Sheik"  he  has  been  the  wistful,  lovesick  boy. 
We  do  not  want  to  see  Rudolph  enslaved  by 
Dagmar  Godowsky  or  even  Xita  Xaldi;  we 
want  to  see  Nita  and  Dagmar  enslaved  by 
Rudolph.  Victoria  Carter.

My  finest  bouquet  goes  to  Milton  Sills  for 
his  splendid  portrayal  of  characters,  his  ability 
to  act  naturally,  and  for  his  fine  personality, 
especially  in  "The  Spoilers,"  "The  Making  of 
O'Malley."  I  would  like  to  see  a  little  more  of 
him  and  a  little  less  of  Tom  Mix  and  Buck 
Jones,  for  we  who  live  in  the  West  see  these 
kind  in  our  every  day  life.  We  naturally  prefer 
something  different. 

Harrison  Ford  is  another  favorite  of  mine. 
I  must  throw  two  nice  big  bouquets  of  equal 
size  and  beauty  to  Thomas  Meighan  and  Tony 
Moreno.  I  have  been  a  Meighan  fan  ever  since 
I  saw  him  in  "The  Bachelor  Daddy,"  and 
Tony  since  he  played  in  serials.  Also  a  hand- 
some bouquet  for  that  grand  old  man  of  the 
screen,  Theodore  Roberts.  And  please  accept 
a  bouquet  yourself.  Photoplay,  for  being  the 
very  best  of  all  Screen  Magazines.

Cooling  Arlen's  Ardor 

Indianapolis.  Tnd. 
I  am  almost  hoping  that  no  more  of  Michael 
Arlen's  stories  will  be  filmed  if  they  will  all  be 
as  poor  as  "The  Dancer  of  Paris."  The  lovely. 
intangible  charm  of  Mr.  Arlen's  story  was  ut- 
terly lost  in  a  muddle  of  bad  continuity.  Ri- 
diculous sub-titles  and  extremely  bad  acting. 
Dorothy  Mackaill  lacked  the  sparkle  and  fi- 
nesse to  carry  such  a  part,  her  hair  was  worn 
most  unbecomingly  and  worst  of  all.  her  danc- 
ing was  miserable.  Poor  Conway  Tearle  is 
ready  for  the  shelf.  As  Miss  Mackaill's  leading 
man  In  the  picture,  he  appeared  heavy,  worn 
and  old.  His  irksome  frown  was  still  present 
and  helped  to  show  the  many  wrinkles  around 
his  eyes  and  his  general  inadequacy  was  pitiful. 
Off  with  him!  1  think  Connie  Bennett  and 
perhaps  Richard  Dix  would  have  done  it  much 
better  but  it  would  have  taken  a  "deal  of 
fixin'  "  to  make  a  real  picture  of  it!

Oh,  Irene,  Here's  a  Bouquet 

Austin.  Texas 
At  last  I  saw  "Lady  Windemere's  Fan,"  the 
great  picture,  the  unforgotten  picture  which 
gave  us  a  new  artist,  the  magic  picture  which 
gave  us  a  new  Irene.  From  beginning  to  end 
"Lady  Windemere's  Fan"  was  a  charming 
picture,  directed  by  a  master  mind. 

Pert  Lytell.  Ronald  Colman  and  May  Mc- 
Avoy  did  their  best  to  please,  but  somehow 
they  did  not  convince  me;  but  this  did  not 
matter,  because  what  I  wanted  to  see  was  the 
new,  beautiful  Irene.  "Our  Irene";  and  al- 
though I  saw  the  picture  twice  I  did  not  ;:et 
tired  watching  her  in  this,  her  masterpiece,  be- 
cause in  it  I  was  seeing,  not  the  good  wife  who 
stayed  at  home  while  her  husband  was  out,  but 
a  new  woman  of  the  world — I  was  seeing  a 
different  and  most  bewitching  Irene.   .    .    . 

When  I  came  out  of  the  theater,  the  moon 
was  already  sending  its  silvery  and  noiseless 
rays  over  the  world,  and  still  I  was  in  a  won- 
derful dream,  having  in  my  mind  a  delightful 
and  only  desire — that  of  seeing  again  the  Irene 
Rich  and  Lubitsch  combination.

She  Says  Dick's  Bowlegged! 

Hollywood.  Cal. 

What  on  earth  is  ailing  Richard  Barthel- 
mess.  I  saw  "Just  Suppose"  last  week  and 
was  disappointed.  It  isn't  nearly  as  good  as  he 
used  to  make.  I  noticed  when  he  had  the 
prince's  uniform  on  he  was  slightly  bowlegged. 
That  was  the  thing  that  spoiled  it  for  me.  I 
heard  people  behind  me  say  they  liked  Tony 
better  than  Dick.  We  like  him  in  pictures  like 
"Soul  Fire."  "The  Beautiful  City,"  et  cetera. 
and  not  "Shore  Leave."  Any  actor  could  act 
that  part.  Richard  is  one  of  the  best  actors  we 
have  and  we  don't  want  to  see  him  in  comedies. 

Anybody  who  is  Valentino  crazy  is  nutty,  but 
I  don't  blame  them  for  liking  Ronald  Colman. 
I  would  like  to  see  "Monte  Cristo"  again.  Will 
it  ever  be  shown?

One  huge  bouquet  for  Famous  Players- 
Lasky  Corporation  if  they  refuse  to  re-issue 
Wally  Reid's  pictures! 

We  don't  want  Wallv's  pictures  back.  Our 
Wally  is  dead.  Do.  please,  let  him  rest.  We 
don't  want  to  see  his  boyish  face  flashed  across 
the  screen  again,  when  we  know- — well,  we 
know  he's  lying  stiff  and  cold,  six  feet  under  the 
earth.  Don't  bring  him  back.  Even  the  idea 
is  repulsive. 

We  want  to  remember  him  as  the  lively, 
lovable  chap,  the  All- American  lad.  who  has 
answered  the  call,  but  to  see  him  as  such  again 
— well,  somehow  it's  different.

Speaking  of  Geese 

Florence.  S.  C. 

"The  Goose  Girl."  produced  sometime  ago, 
was  a  very  interesting  picture.  "The  Goose 
Hangs  High"  proved  to  be  one  of  the  finest 
pictures  of  American  home  life  ever  produced. 
Now  we  have  "The  Goose  Woman.''  with 
Louise  Dresser  in  the  title  role,  who  gives  one 
of  the  finest  characterizations  of  the  screen,  as 
the  woman  who  lias  fallen  from  po\\  or  and  pop- 
ularity and  resorts  to  geese  raising  and  gin 
drinking.  An  actress  who  can  make  such  a 
part  intensely  interesting  deserves  the  highest 
praise. 

But  speaking  of  geese:  since  this  bird,  or 
fowl,  seems  to  bring  good  luck,  we  suggest  that 
directors  give  it  careful  consideration  when 
selecting  titles  in  future. 

For  instance  "tjoosie,  Goosic,  Gander, 
Whither  do  you  wander."  would  be  applicable 
to  quite  a  number  of  films  we  have  viewed 
recently.

Tempo  Triumphs 

Cicero,  111. 

I  am  a  musician  and  like  to  think  of  pictures 
as  the  visual  expression  of  music.  Heine  all 
my  bouquets  «o  to  the  directors  who  under- 
stand that  mysterious  time  element  of  a  pic- 
ture called  tempo.  This  innate  musical  sense 
is  the  instinctive  safeguard  of  a  director  and 
it  is  revealed  in  the  first  few  minutes  of  a 
picture.  Too  many  directors  rely  on  pictorial 
values  which  in  the  end  produces  boredom 
as  nothing  can  take  the  place  of  the  vital 
time  element. 

But  a  director  like  Kins  Vidor  or  James 
Cruze  sets  pictures  to  rythm,  infusing  that 
creative  quality  that  still  vibrates  months 
after  the  picture  is  seen  ami  gives  it  immor- 
tality. This  rythmic  vitality  is  the  explanation 
of  the   dynamic   excitement  that  pulses  thru 

rhe  Big  Parade"  and  "The  Covered 
Wajvi.  " 

Malcolm  St.  Clair  is  also  blessed  with  this 
musical  instinct  and  created  true  cinema  art 
in   "Are  Parents  People."

The  Lure  of  the  Irish 

Middletown.  X.  V. 

I  have  often  wondered  why  the  Irish  lads 
and  lassies  on  the  screen  (and  off  for  that 
matter)  are  such  wonderful  successes  in  all 
that  they  attempt.  Why  is  it  that  Colleen 
Moore,  Thomas  Meighan.  Jackie  Coogan.  and 
many  others  from  the  auld  sod  have  the 
world  at  their  feet? 

After  thinking  it  over  carefully  I've  come 
to  this  conclusion  When  the  angels  were 
making  the  different  nationalities,  they  took 
a  great  lump  of  determination  and  made  of 
it  one  nationality.  They  made  another  of 
intelligence,  another  of  charm,  another  of  gen- 
erosity and  still  another  of  sympathy  and  tact. 

Finally  they  thought  they  were  finished 
but  looking  around  they  found  they  had  a 
good  sized  piece  of  each  material  left.  So 
they  mixed  them  all  together  and  called  the 
result  Irish.  Miss  Alta  M.  Toepp. 


THAT  MYSTERIOUS  ART 
BEING  A  WOMAN 


Dovish  bobs, slim, curveless  lines  .  .  .  "'Is 
femininity  .1  lost  art2"  asks  the  older 
generation. 

Freedom,  frankness  .  .  .  "Never  was 
femininity  so  much  a  fine  art,"  declares 
the  younger. 

Being  a  woman  means  more  today  than 
ever  before.  She  wants  more,  she  yets 
more.    But  she  has  to  put  more  into  the  job! 

She  has  to  cultivate  beauty  as  never 
before.  She  must  have  wit  and  poise  and 
style — and  that  mystery,  charm. 

It's  a  strange  art — made  up  of  many 
things.  Personal  things.  One  in  par- 
ticular which  is  essentially  feminine; 
which  no  woman  can  afford  to  forget,  if 
she  would  be  attractive. 

She  has  to  fight  for  it.  For  her  daily 
bath  cannot  keep  her  daintiness  of  person 
safe  from  devastating  perspiration  mois- 
ture and  odor. 

Rings  of  stain  under  the  arm  or  across 
the  back?  Clothing  ruined?  A  tell-tale 
odor  that  gives  the  lie  to  beauty?  Un- 
thinkable to  the  socially  successful 
nowadays!  They  take  no  chances! 

And  so  they  make  the  care  of 
the   underarm   a  separate   little

rite  of  the  toilette.  They  regularly  use  a 
corrective  they  know  they  can  depend  upon — 
Odorono,  the  Underarm  Toilette. 

A  physician  formulated  Odorono  u  i 
corrective  for  both  moisture  and  odor.  For 
years  it  has  been  used  by  doctors  and 
nurses  in  hospitals  because  of  its  scien- 
tific action  and  antiseptic  qualities. 

Clear,  clean  and  harmless,  it  is  as  pleas- 
ant to  use  as  a  dainty  toilet  water.  And 
you  need  use  it  only  twice  a  week  to  be 
always  fresh  and  free  from  any  offending 
moisture  and  odor.  No  other  precautions 
are  necessary. 

Why  bother  with  ineffective,  tempo- 
rary measures?  They  can  never  give  you 
the  assurance  that  Odorono  does.  With 
it  your  clothing  will  never  be  in  danger 
of  those  horrid  stains  that  the  best  dry 
cleaning  can't  blot  out.  And  even  more 
important,  you  will  never  commit  the  un- 
pardonable— perspiration  odor!

Something  DIFFERENT  J 

for  Bobbed  Hair 

THERE  is  a  tremendous  difference  in  bobs.  Some 
arc  wonderfully  attractive  and  becoming,  while 
others,  well  — which  kind  isvours? 

I  wish  you  could  picture  the  becoming  kind  I 
have  in  mind  — the  sort  that  makes  men  turn  to 
admire.  I  can't  tell  you  what  the  color  is,  but 
it's  fall  of  those  tiny  dancing  lights  that  somehow 
suggest  auburn,  yet  which  are  really  no  more  ac- 
tual color  than  sunlight.  It's  only  when  the  head 
is  moved  that  you  catch  the  auburn  suggestion — ■ 
the  fleeting  glint  of  gold. 

You  have  no  idea  how  much  your  bob  can  be 
improved  with  the  "tiny  tint "  Golden  Glint 
Shampoo  will  give  it.  It" you  want  a  bob  like  that

New  York  City 
I  have  been  an  interested  reader  of  PHOTO- 
PLAY for  a  number  of  years — I  have  enjoyed 
reading  it  on  the  whole;  however,  once  in  a 
while  I  have  felt  like  writing  in  a  criticism. 
I  his  is  my  initial  appearance  in  your  column. 
I  e  seen   Alma   Rubens  in  "The  Winding 

Stair"  and  some  good  friend  should  tell  that 
lady  she  cannot  dance.  She  is  awful  and  when 
she  kicks  her  knee  is  bent.  She  is  the  most  un- 
graceful woman  on  the  screen.  I  saw  her  with 
George  O'Brien  in,  I  think.  "The  Dancer-." 
and  she  danced  a  great  deal.  What  is  the 
trouble  with  her  director?  Can't  he  see  she  is 
no  dancer?  Also  I  read  Tom  .Mix's  life  in  your 
magazine.  In  it  is  said  he  saw  service  in  the 
Philippines.  That  was  about  1898  and  his  age 
is  given  about  31.  He  must  have  fought  at  the 
tender  age  of  4  years  at  that  rate.  Why  don't 
you  stop  giving  ages  if  they  cannot  come  anv- 
way  near  the  truth?  It  is  really  insulting  the 
intelligence  some  of  the  ages  given  for  some 
stars.

Slamming  "The  New  Command- 
ment" 

Los  Angeles,  Cal. 

For  a  maudlin  melodramatic-slapstick  mix- 
ture we've  seen  nothing  to  equal  First  Nation- 
al's "The  New  Commandment."  Coherence 
and  this  cinema  have  as  much  in  common  as  a 
humming  bird  and  an  elephant.  The  cast  was 
capable  of  something  bigger.  Blanche  Sweet, 
Ben  Lyon,  Holbrook  Blinn,  Dorothy  Cum- 
mings,  Pedro  de  Cordova,  and  Effie  Shannon 
are  not  to  be  sniffed  at. 

There  were  so  many  vital  points  left  dan- 
gling in  mid-air.  The  average  audience  is  will- 
ing to  meet  the  writer  half  way,  but  there  are 
limits.  Here  are  a  few  of  the  things  that  irked 
us.  What  happened  to  the  book  Renee's  father 
was  so  anxious  to  publish,  that  was  so  very  im- 
portant in  the  beginning  of  the  story?  How  did 
Billy's  father  get  his  son's  release  from  the 
French  jail  so  easily?  When  did  the  mistress  of 
Chateau  Reves  invite  the  heroine  to  make  a 
permanent  home  with  her?  How  did  Billy  join 
the  French  army?  How  was  the  hero's  father 
recovered  from  the  wreckage?  How  did  Billy 
recover  his  sight  when  we  were  lead  to  believe 
him  totally  blind? 

Are  we  expected  to  digest  this  stuff  that 
cries  for  the  cutter's  scissors  and  a  scenarist 
who  "knows  his  stuff"?

New  Sheiks  for  Old 

Milwaukee,  Wis. 

Everybody  is  busy  picking  the  prettiest 
girls,  the  girls  with  most  talent  and  the  hand- 
somest men  on  the  screen.  May  I  give  my  list 
of  the  group  of  men  who  deserve  bigger  parts 
and  better  salaries? 

Roy  D'Arcy  was  the  highlight  of  "The 
Merry  Widow"  and  "The  Masked  Dancer"  as 
far  as  I  was  concerned.  With  all  due  credit 
given  John  Gilbert  and  Mae  Murray,  I  fell  in 
love  with  Roy  D'Arcy  because  of  his  wonderful 
performance. 

John  Patrick  can  make  the  worst  picture 
filmed  a  delight,  simply  because  of  his  personal- 
ity. He  has  a  different  style  from  all  other 
actors.  I  really  wish  he  would  appear  in  about 
every  third  or  fourth  film. 

I  would  like  to  see  a  lot  more  of  Harrison 
Ford.  He  is  a  splendid,  convincing  actor.  Re- 
member  him  in  "Proud  Flesh,"  fans? 

Give  Brook  is  one  of  the  few  actors  who  can 
make  me  see  a  poor  picture  because  of  his 
presence.  1  will  go  every  time  I  see  his  name  in 
the  cast. 

Here  are  a  few  of  the  newer  actors  I  hope 
will  become  better  known.  They  deserve  it. 
They  are  William  Haines.  William  Boyd,  Rob- 
ert Ames.  Larry  Gray,  Gilbert  Roland  and 
Donald  Keith.

Merely  to  look  at  her  (Oh— Corinne  Griffith, 
of  course)  is  a  positive  joy  and  delight,  for  she 
possesses  that  quality  of  beauty  which  shines 
from  within.  Surely  even  the  proverbial  one 
"who  runs  can  read"  the  character,  the  true 
culture  and  refinement  that  is  indelibly 
stamped  on  her  beautiful  features. 

Now  when,  in  addition  to  this  loveliness,  she 
displayed  a  marked  talent  for  real  "  honest-to- 
goodness"  acting. — as  witness  "Classified" — 
why  in  the  name  of  the  great  "  D.  W."  do  they 
hand  her  such  piffling  plots  as  "Infatuation?" 
It  was  only  Mis-;  Griffith's  personal  charm 
which  caused  me  to  stay  to  the  bitter  end. 

But,  since  "hope  springs  eternal."  I  shall 
continue  to  go  to  her  next — and  next — and 
hope — and  hope — for  a  story  that  is  worthy  of 
her  ability.

We  Agree  Heartily 

Glensidc.  Pa. 
A  Chicago  lawyer  recommended  that  "  hang- 
ings" be  shown  in  motion  pictures  as  a  deter- 
rent to  crime.     He  might  have  further 
gested    that    picture    of    the    crime    be    first 
shown!    What  an  entertaining  picture  it  would  * 
make  to  see  a  person  killed,  the  murderer  saw- 
ing up  his  victim,  in  the  next  scene  witness  the 
murderer  dangling  on  the  end  of  a  rope!    Nice 
for  the  children.  I  suppose,  particularly  if  it  was 
accompanied  by  a  sub-title  on  the  following 
order: 

"He  was  a  born  'cut-up'  they  said 
They  must  have  had  the  right  'dope' 
He  never  once  lost  his  head 
'Till  he  got  to  the  end  of  his  'rope.'  " 
What  a  crime  that  would  be!     Normal  or 
abnormal  persons  are  benefited  by  the  right 
kind  of  pictures,  and  they  would  have  a  more 
wholesome  ettect.  even  on  a  would-be  criminal 
than  the  morbid  or  gruesome  type.

Mix  Fans,  Lookil  This! 

Akron.  Ohio 

Tom  Mix  is  slowly  losing  his  grip  as  the  most 
popular  Western  actor — old  champ's  throne  is 
tottering.  Who  will  be  the  new  Monarch  of  the 
Western  films — Charles  Jones.  Hoot  Gibson  or 
Jack  Hoxie? 

Of  the  latter  named  three,  I  believe  the  bat- 
tle will  be  chiefly  concerned  between  Buck 
Jones  and  Hoot  Gibson.  Hoxie's  chances  look 
slim. 

Tom  Mix  is  staging  his  losing  fight  valiantly 
and  when  he  goes  down  he  will  always  be  re- 
membered as  the  man  who  started  the  "  wonder 
horse"  craze. 

Seems  like  a  Western  actor's  wardrobe  is  in- 
complete without  a  wonder  horse  along — 
there's  Rex,  Silver  King.  Lightning.  Tarzan, 
and  a  load  of  others  now  being  paged  via  the 
silversheet.

Ralph  and  the  Drayma 

Detroit.  Mich. 

Why  such  a  likeable,  clever  chap  as  Ralph 
Graves  should  be  playing  in  slapstick  comedies 
and  profess  to  like  it — is  more  than  1  can  under- 
stand. 

When  I  think  of  the  splendid  work  he  did  as 
leading  man  in  "Dream  Street."  "Yolanda." 
Dorothy  Gish's  comedy-dramas  and  then  run 
into  one  of  his  "  Mack-Sennett-ers  "■ — I  revolt! 
How  could  you? 

Let  those  laurels  go  to  the  winds?  Never! 
The  fans  would  prefer  seeing  you  in  leading 
men's  roles  and  feature  plays,  and  we  beg  you 
not  to  continue  in  comedies. 

Please.  Mr.  Graves,  don't  you  understand — 
you  have  the  talent  and  ability — you  should  be 
doing  better,  bigger,  liner  things!  We  want 
you  in  feature  pictures,  the  fans  demand  it, 
won't  you  acquiesce?

New   Zealand's  Sweetheart,  Too 

New  Zealand 
I  have  been  reading  articles  lately  about  the 
fight  for  the  crown  between  Pola,  Gloria  and 
Mary.     Wonderful  Pola  and  Gloria  may  be, 

but  they  are  not  to  be  compared  with  "Our 
Mary."  She  is  the  greatest  actress  of  them  all. 
Here  is  a  paragraph  from  an  old  issue  of  Photo- 
pi \y:  "Mary  Pickford  has  become  in  twenty 
wars  what  ordinarily  takes  one  hundr. 
tradition.  Greater  actresses  may  arise  around 
her  but  Mary  will  never  know  a  rival,  for  she 
has  become  a  symbol  of  love  to  the  lonely  soul 
of  the  world.''  Yes.  give  me  Mary  of  the  sun- 
shine and  curls,  breathing  of  youth  and  spring- 
time from  the  depths  of  her  beautiful  soul.  I 
would  like  other  fans  to  join  me  in  this  expres- 
sion of  confidence  in  "Our  Man-."  Tan  we 
allow  the  world's  Sweetheart  to  be  dethroned 
without  lifting  one  hand  to  help  her?  Never! 
The  world  cannot  do  without  her!

Peter-Panning  Betty 

Omaha.  Neb. 

I  offer  sincerest  praise  and  congratulations 
for  the  most  fascinating  and  logical  picture  that 
1  have  seen  in  a  long  time — -"Three  Faces 
Fast."  The  main  target  of  my  felicitations  is 
the  amazing  Jetta  Goudal.  Having  always 
nourished  a  grudge  against  the  mysterious 
Jetta  I  was  completely  bowled  over  by  her  act- 
ing in  the  war  drama. 

Miss  Goudal  is  THE  actress.  It  would  be 
for  their  everlasting  benefit  to  the  present  crop 
of  beauteous  automatons. who  are  trying  to  win 
unmerited  praise,  to  study  Jetta's  method.  It's 
sure-fire.  Here  is  the  type  of  work  that  one 
never  forgets.    More  power  to  her! 

Xow.  a  little  cold  air!  .  .  .  How  old  is 
Betty  Bronson?  Ever  since  the  petite  Peter 
Ptin  elfed  her  way  into  our  hearts,  we  have  been 
deluged  with  floods  of  "youthful"  publicity. 
Here's  the  point: 

We  have  been  told,  over  and  over  again,  that 
Betty  is  "just  a  kid."  Scribes  have  written 
cute  stories  about  Betty's  little  jaunts,  and  the 
lew  "dates"  she  is  allowed  to  have,  her  ex- 
tremely youthful  clothes. 

I'm  not  a  crank,  but  when  it  becomes  a  habit 
for  the  publicity  to  repeat  over  and  over  again 
the  same  exaggerations.  I  get  weary.  Betty  is  a 
favorite  of  mine,  and  I  dislike  to  see  her  press 
agent  trying  to  put  her  in  pinafores  or  little  girl 
slippers  when  I  know  she  must  be  quite  a  de- 
lightful young  lady.

Speaking  of  Pictures 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PACE  2^  ] 


drive  her  beyond  her  capacity,  and 
every  picture  she  makes  is  a  travail 
of  harassing  episodes.  Despite  her 
enormous  salary  her  expenses  are 
a  nightmare,  and  I  doubt  that  she 
has  had  an  hour's  relaxation  outside 
sleep  in  years. 

A  ND  now  she  is  taking  on  more 
troubles.  She  is  going  to  produce 
her  own  pictures.  "Fine  Manners" 
is  her  last  under  her  present  banner. 
Then  she  becomes  an  independent 
producer  as  one  of  the  United 
Artists. 

Well  meaning  friends  pointed  out 
the  promised  land  of  artistic  inde- 


pendence and  millions,  and  Gloria 
chose  that  direction,  despite  the 
warning  of  friends  who  pointed  out 
the  obstacles. 

Fairbanks,  Pickford,  Chaplin,  and 
Lloyd  have  demonstrated  that  they 
are  able  producers  as  well  as  stars, 
but  look  at  Nazimova,  Valentino, 
Ray,  and  even  D.  \V.  Griffith. 

The  first  four  became  millionaire-. 
but  the  other  four  got  nothing  but 
experience  and  disillusionment. 

There  are  more  wrinkles  in  one 
independent  star  production  than  can 
be  removed  by  a  ton  of  cold  cream. 

All  our  hopes  are  with  Gloria, 
but  our  judgment  is  not. 


Here  Are  the  Real  Box  Office  Stars 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  2Q  ] 


impartially  correct  as  any  that  can  be  tabu- 
lated. 

For  instance,  Tom  Mix  occupies  a  peculiar 
position  from  the  box  office  standpoint.  He 
draws  crowds  equal  to  stars  in  the  first  class,  but 
no  one  of  his  pictures  would  gross  as  much 
money  as  a  picture  starring  Fairbanks.  Chaplin, 
or  others  in  the  group.  The  reason  for  this 
is  that  Mix's  popularity  is  in  the  small  theaters 
where  less  admission  is  charged  and  smaller  at- 
tendance is  obtained.  He  has  to  play  a  lot  of 
small  theaters  to  bring  returns  up  to  the  amount 
thatBarthelmess  or  Denny  would  get  in  larger 
houses.  But  he  makes  more  pictures  in  a  year 
than  any  of  the  stars  in  the  major  group,  so  I 
rate  him  among  them  as  a  popular  big  money- 
getter. 

LILLIAN  GISH  is  another  star  difficult  to 
classify.  In  big  pictures  Miss  Gish's  drawing 
power  is  equal  to  that  of  the  stars  in  group  one, 
but  in  small  features  she  would  rate  with 
Corinne  Griffith,  Norma  Shearer  and  Colleen 
Moore. 

Mr.  Schenck  lists  Valentino  in  the  first  group. 
His  popularity  is  waning  so  rapidly,  however, 
that  it  is  doubtful  if  he  will  remain  there  long. 
"The  Eagle",  however,  drew  big  returns. 
"Cobra"  did  not. 

Pola  Negri  depends  almost  entirely  upon  her 
foreign  following.  Her  popularity  in  Europe  is 
great  enough  to  make  her  of  financial  profit  to 
her  company  without  consideration  of  her 
American  clientele,  which  is  small. 

"Thomas  Meighan  has  a  following  that  is 
notable  for  its  stability,  regardless  of  poor  pic- 
tures," says  Mr.  Schenck.  "And  he  will  al- 
ways have  it.  llis  personality  is  that  of  the  big 
brother,  the  friend,  and  that  is  the  lasting  sun." 

John  Gilbert's  following  is  of  the  sex-attrac- 
tion genre.  "The  Merry  Widow"  did  mure  lor 
him,  in  Mr.  Schenck's  opinion,  than  "The  Big 
Parade",  though  his  acting  in  the  latter  was 
finer. 

Novarro  attracts  affection,  but  not  of  the 
fervent  variety.  He  has  a  romantic  appeal  for 
the  imagination  by  his  very  appearance,  and 
he  has  proved  to  be  an  inspired  actor. 

Among  women.  Norma  Shearer  is  regarded 
by  Mr.  Schenck  as  the  most  promising  of  the 
newcomers.  "  His  Secretary"  proved  her  draw- 
ing power  as  a  star. 

Colleen   .Moore   has  had    the   best    break  of 


any  young  star  and  has  made  the  most  of  it. 
Corinne  Griffith,  on  the  other  hand,  has 
proved  her  strength  by  dragging  a  long  proces- 
sion of  bad  pictures.  "Classified",  her  first 
good  one.  reveals  what  she  can  do  if  given  fair 
material. 

JOHN  BARRYMORE  is  not  yet  established 
•J as  a  favorite,  though  he  will  be  after  the 
general  release  of  "The  Sea  Beast"  and  "Don 
Juan".  His  attraction  in  the  large  cities  is 
through  his  stage  following. 

.•Ire  stars  unreasonably  temperamental? 

I  ask  the  question  because  it  plays  a  part  in 
the  permanency  of  their  drawing  power. 

"  No."  says  Mr.  Schenck.  "They  have  their 
reasons,  though  they  may  seem  unreasonable. 

"There  is  just  one  thing  needed  to  handle 
players  successfully.  I've  found,  and  that  is  the 
truth. 

"Producers  make  the  mistake  too  often  of 
telling  their  stars  only  the  pleasant  things. 
The  stars  get  an  exaggerated  idea  of  their 
value,  and  the  producers  can't  live  up  to  it. 

"Young  players  who  come  up  swiftly  to  suc- 
cess may  get  the  swell-head.  Their  associates 
notice  it  first  and  start  drawing  away  from 
them.  Those  who  have  been  their  friends 
cease  to  cooperate,  and  no  one  person  in  this 
business  is  self-sufficient.  Then,  eventually, 
the  public  senses  this  superiority  feeling  and 
begins  drawing  away.  I  have  not  encountered 
this  problem  very  often.  Where  I  have  1 
simply  have  parted  company  with  the  person. 
I  recognize  the  right  of  every  man  to  his 
opinions  of  himself,  even  if  I  disagree." 

Turning  the  tables  on  Mr.  Schenck  I  asked 
a  star  how  he  accounted  for  Mr.  Schenck's 
success  in  managing  players. 

"  Equity,"  said  Doug  Fairbanks.  "You  can 
disagree  with  him  without  ruining  his  vanity. 
Producers  sometimes  get  the  swell-head  as  well 
as  stars.  Joe  will  change  his  mind  if  he  can  be 
convinced  he's  in  the  wrong.  And  he  tells  you 
the  truth.  That's  about  the  rarest  thing  in 
this  business — the  truth.  When  you  find  a 
man  who  will  tell  it  to  you,  you  have  found  a 
friend." 

1  therefore  submit  this  list  of  box  office  stars 
as  the  most  truthful  rating  that  can  be  given. 
It  is  not  infallible,  not  invariable;  some  who 
are  up  are  doomed  to  come  down,  and  some 
who  are  down  will  be  up  in  a  year  or  two.

Mr.  Gilbert  did  not  reproduce  the  original, but 

he  did  create  an  original  anil  fascinating  fellow 
r.l  high  vol  itiht\  lie  was  com  UM  mg  in  all  his 
fervid  gesticulation. 

The  idea  of  a  homely  hero  winning  the  love 
of  a  screen  heroine  is  manifestly  incredible. 

"But  why?"  interrupts  Musette  Ailoree. 
"  In  life  women  love  homely  men.  1 — 1  person- 
ally detest  handsome  ones,  as  a  rule." 

To  which  our  only  reply  is — "  Goody,  Goody!'' 

I'D  like  to  see  Renee  Adoree  and  John  Gilbert 
in  another  love  match  with  King  Vidor  as 
referee.  They  wouldn't  be  Romeo  and  Juliet 
exactly,  but  a  team  like  that  doesn't  need 
Shakespeare.  Considering  the  temperature  of 
their  emotion  his  old  wooden  balcony  would  be 
condemnable.  What  they  need  is  a  fire-escape. 

SPEAKING  of  great  directors,  where  are 
they?  King  Yidor  stands  unchallenged  in  the 
li>ts  today,  save  possibly  by  Lubitsch.  D.W. 
Griffith  has  gone  stale.  Cecil  De  Mille  is 
wandering  some  place  in  the  dark  ages  with 
his  flash-backs.  Yon  Stroheim  is  uncertain,  and 
Rex  Ingram  is  sunning  himself  on  the  Riviera 
while  gaily  thumbing  his  nose  at  the  bosses 
back  here. 

Everyone  has  been  given  credit  for  "The 
Big  Parade"  except  King,  to  whom  it  belongs. 
True,  he  had  the  cooperation  of  two  exception- 
ally creative  players,  as  well  as  Irving  Thal- 
berg.  But  it  takes  a  great  artist  to  recognize 
cooperation.  Griffith  used  to  have  a  circle  of 
original  minds  from  which  lie  took  ideas.  So 
did  De  Mille.  So  did  the  leaser  chief,  Mr.  Na- 
poleon Bonaparte.  But  directors,  as  well  as 
players,  invariably  reach  the  point  where  they 
feel  they  can  go  it  alone.  Like  the  late  Kai>er. 
they  murmur — "Me  and  God." 

King  remains  humble.  He  has  his  ideas,  but 
he  can  accept  others. 

"The  Big  Parade"  germinated  from  a  simple 
idea.  Examine  the  full-grown  product  and 
you'll  find  that  the  characters  and  situations 
make  the  entertainment.  The}-  are  gems  on 
an  old  cotton  string. 

THE  above  is  no  argument  against  stories. 
It  is  possible  for  a  director  of  story-telling 
talent  to  develop  a  play  as  he  goes  along.  On 
the  whole,  however,  a  strong,  detailed  script 
as  a  starting  point  will  save  a  lot  of  re-takes. 

I'm  sick  of  those  "little  touches"  for  which 
directors  are  being  extolled.  "The  story  is 
trite,"  we  read  in  the  reviews,  "but  director 
Abracadabra's  little  touches  make  it. "

SCIENCE  has  perfected  new  methods  in  ending 
corns  and  callus  spots.  No  more  paring.  That 
is  temporary;  that  is  dangerous.

pain  stops  in  3  seconds.  You  wear  tight  shoes, 
walk,  dance,  in  comfort  .   .  .  instantly! 

Then  soon  the  corn  begins  to  shrivel  up  and 
loosen.  You  peel  it  off  with  your  fingers  like  dead 
skin.  The  whole  corn  is  gone.  Works  on  any  kind 
of  corn  or  callus,  hard  or  soft;  new  or  old.

The  fact  is  that  a  lot  of  directors  don't  want 
-lories.  They  want  to  strut  forth  single- 
handed  and  alone,  shoot  out  their  cuffs  and 
cry,  "Presto!  Seethe  cute  little  rabbit  right 
out  of  my  silk  hat  where  there  was  nothing  at 
all  before.  Clever!" 

The  same  desire  for  a  solo  performance 
makes  a  director  inimical  to  close-ups  for 
players.  Too  much  attention  for  the  stars 
may  make  you  forget  the  genius  behind  the 
megaphone.  Anything  to  make  it  a  director's 
picture.  Such  are  the  clever  directors.  They 
are  not  creators  of  pictures,  they  are  merely 
retouchers. 

A  T  a  dinner  party  the  favorite  table  topic 
■*  Vame  up:  What's  a  Genius  and  Who,  in 
Hollywood?  Several  were  seriously  injured, 
while  others  escaped  with  slight  scalp  wounds. 
Tragedy  was  averted  by  the  timely  arrival 
of  Photoplay  with  my  definition,  to-wit: 
Genius  consists  of  the  infinite  capacity  to 
supply  me  with  copy. 

To  prove  by  example,  I  chose  Renee  Adoree, 
whose  histrionic  power  is  on  current  display 
in  "The  Big  Parade.''  When  I  came  to  set 
rlown  my  gleanings  after  the  interview  I  felt 
that  the  sL\-foot  bookshelf  wasn't  long  enough 


to  contain  all  the  classic  words  of  wit,  wisdom, 
philosophy  and  romance.  What  I  recount  is 
not  the  half  of  it,  nor  is  the  telling  what  it 
should  be.  for  I'm  without  the  neworthophonic 
attachment. 

Nevertheless,  Mile.  Adoree  steps  to  the  head 
of  Prof.  Howe's  exclusive  class  of  geniuses  this 
month. 

A  MID  the  dinner  discussion,  during  which 
-*  *■  chicken  bones,  silverware  and  flasks  were 
hurled  with  suitable  epithets,  some  one  glanced 
me  with  a  bookish  definition: 

Genius  is  a  term  which  originally  meant  in 
Roman  mythology  a  generative  and  protective 
spirit.  Everyone  has  his  genius  who  is  not 
his  creator,  but  comes  into  being  and  is  allotted 
at  birth. 

"In  the  case  of  movie  stars,"  I  opined, 
"that  must  be  Mama." 

A  HOVE  the  din  came  another  whoop  out 
-**-of  Webster:  Genius  is  a  term  to  express  the 
degree  of  original  greatness  which  is  beyond 
ordinary  powers  of  explanation. 

If  this  is  taken  for  authority,  genius  runs 
rife  in  Hollywood,  for  most  of  the  greatness 
is  beyond  any  human  power  of  explanation. 


Wicked?

subtle  intrigues  and  hinted  at  scandalous  ro- 
mances. All  this  we  did  before,  finally,  Mary 
Dugan  was  star  material. 

It's  curious,  how  one  can  be  poured  into  a 
mold.  And  brought  out  complete  in  shape  and 
expression  and  usefulness.  It  wasn't  long 
before  we  had  grown  to  accept  Marie  DuGanne 
as  the  wicked  little  lady  of  hot  sunshine  and 
castanets  and  the  scent  of  orange  flowers. 
Not  that  we  believed  the  press  stories — no. 
indeed!  But  ever}' one  else  did.  And  that  was 
all  that  mattered. 

T  SAW  a  great  deal  of  Marie  in  those  days. 
-■-Our  names  clung  together — always  I  wrote  her 
stories.  She  talked  to  me  more  freely  than  she 
talked  with  some  of  the  others.  And  her  talk 
was  not  at  all  the  sort  that  the  feature  writers 
made  popular  in  the  fan  magazines. 

Here  is  an  extract  from  a  typical  interview, 
of  that  period: 

"Marie  DuGanne  leaned  back  among  the 
chiffon  pillows  on  her  chaise  longe.  She  seemed 
a  strange  exotic  presence — rather  than  a  real 
person — in  her  negligee  of  dull  gold  and  dead 
black.  One  slim  hand  touched  languidly  the 
head  of  her  great,  silent  dog.  A  wolf  hound,  her 
constant  companion.  Her  eyes  were  moody  and 
strange. 

"  'After  all — '  she  said  slowly,  with  just  the 
merest  trace  of  an  accent  in  her  slow,  musical 
voice,  'men  are  only — how  shall  I  say  it — toys! 
We  play  with  one — we  women — until  it  is 
shabby  and  broken.  And  then  we  discard  it, 
for  a  new  toy — so — '  here  she  sighed — 'so  it 
goes!   Voila.'  " 

That  interview  was  widely  quoted.  It 
furnished  the  inspiration  for  more  than  one 
sermon.  But — curiously  enough — at  that  time 
Marie  DuGanne  had  never  known  a  man  in 
the  romantic  sense.  She  had  never  been 
kissed — really.  And  she  talked  like  this  when 
she  was  alone  with  me — 

"Say,"  she  would  exclaim — biting  into  a 
square  of  fudge — "say — what's  it  all  about. 
1  wonder?  I  thought  1  wanted  to  be  a  star — 
but  it's  not  so  hot.  bein'  one.  I  don't  get  much 
fun  out  of  life.  Studying,  all  day,  and  seeing 
a  bunch  of  people — an'  maybe  they're  kidding 
me  lor  all  1  know!  And  leading  a  dumb  dog  on 
the  end  of  a  siring,  ami  riding  in  a  car  that's 
not  paid  for  yet.   Know  what  I'd  like,  really?" 

1  looked  at  her.  A  different  Marie  DuGanne 
than  the  feature  writers  saw.    A  childish,  slim 


person  in  dimity  pajamas — curled  up  on  a  rug 

in  front  of  the  tire.   Eagerly  licking  candy  from 

sticky,  pink  finger  tips.     I  wondered,  in    my 

heart,  what  did  lie  at  the  end  of  her  rainbow 

before  I  spoke  my  denial — 

"Know   what   I'd   like?"    Marie   repeated. 

"I'd  like  to  bob  my  hair,  and  live  in  a  bungalo  ' 

and   do   my   own   work — and   have  furniture 

instead  of  a  bunch  of  dust  catchers.    I'd  like 

to  marry  a  big.  regular,  two  fisted  guy.  Irish — 

with  red  hair.    And  have  a  baby.    Maybe  thru 

babies!" 

*     *     *     * 

And  it  wasn't  so  much  later  that  Marie  met 
her  Irishman.  On  the  surface  he  looked  almost 
the  picture  that  her  fancy  had  painted.  Big  he 
was  and  his  hair  was  red.  But — somehow — he 
didn't  give  the  impression  of  being  just  exactly 
two  fisted.  He  got  out  of  difficulties  by  being 
smooth  instead  of  by  the  fighting  genius  of  his 
race.    At  least,  he  got  out  of  some  difficulties. 

Where  he  came  from  nobody  knew,  exactly. 
He  was  one  of  those  charming,  inefficient  men 
who  are  so  much  in  demand  where  there  are 
tea  parties  and  dances — and  ladies  with  shawls 
and  fans  to  be  carried.  He  was  what  I  call,  in 
my  own  mind,  a  dabbler.  He  wrote  a  little,  and 
painted  a  little  and  sang  a  little.  He  even  acted 
a  little.  And  it  was  his  slight  acting  ability,  as 
well  as  the  fact  that  he  photographed  well, 
that  got  him  into  the  pictures.  He  played  very 
minor  parts — and  tried,  while  playing  them,  to 
get  on  easily  familiar  terms  with  each  of  the 
principals! 

TT  was  while  working  in  one  of  her  pictures 
J-that  the  man  met  Marie.  He  was  a  flam- 
boyant, romantic  personality  as  lie  loomed 
up.  beside  her.  on  the  set.  She  was  doing  a 
dance  in  the  center  of  a  built  up  place  of  stucco 
and  artificial  vines  and  real  palm  trees.  A 
hacienda.  I  suppose,  of  old  California — I've 
forgotten.  She  was  dancing  with  her  head 
thrown  back,  with  a  rose  between  her  sharp 
white  little  teeth.  At  the  end  of  the  dance  she 
was  to  turn,  with  a  sudden  swirl  of  skirts,  to 
throw  the  rose  into  the  hands  of  the  smiling 
hero.  Hut  she  threw  it.  instead,  at  the  red- 
headed stranger — and  we  had  to  film  the  whole 
sequence  over. 

"Why  on  earth  did  you  do  that?"  I  ques- 
tioned crossly,  a  few  moments  later,  in  her 
dressing  room. 

Hut  she  only  looked  past  me.  dreamily.    And —

And  a  few  hours  later,  we  saw  him  ill

ie  wanted  to  lie  a  to>       a  toy  to  lie  worn

care.     Perhaps  he  had  never  read  any  ol'  the 
stories  printed  about  Marie  DuGanne      Pei 
haps    as  the  director  -aid.  with  a  contemp- 
tuous sniff-    he  couldn't  read' 

At  any  rate  Marie  DuGanne  had  fallen  in 
love.  Swiftly  and  consumingly  and  with  a 
man  that  no  one  had  picked  lor  her.  A  man 
from  Clod  knows  where,  who  had  a  waj  oi 
looking  past  the  eyes  that  tried  to  find  his  own 
A  man  who,  we  felt,  could  not  he  quite  trusted. 
We,  who  had  had  our  will  of  her  home  and  her 
dog  and  her  chaperon  and  her  frocks,  found 
ourselves  suddenly  ignored.  Suddenly  un- 
wanted. 

FROM  the  first  I  saw  the  way  it  was  going. 
Marie  had  ehosen  her  mate  quite  naturally 
reverting  to  the  ways  of  her  real  ancestors. 
O'Hara  -well,  we  were  divided  in  our  opinions. 
Either  he  loved  Marie — lie  did  have  a  certain 
way  of  devouring  her  with  his  glance— or  he 
thought  her  a  rather  safe  bet.  matrimonially. 
We  weren't  quite  sure.  Hut.  at  any  rate.  Marie 
went  about  in  a  happy  daze-  and  spoke,  in 
lyric  rhyme,  of  a  home  and  all  that  a  home 
could  mean.  Eden  in  Hollywood — beyond 
a  doubt! 

I  don't  know  that  the  wedding  day  had  been 
fixed  at  the  time  of  the  snake's  entrance  into 
this  Eden.  Hut  I  do  know  that  mutual  vows 
had  been  taken,  and  that  many  kisses  had  been 
exchanged.  And  I  do  know  that  Marie  wore 
proudly,  upon  a  third  linger,  a  stupid  little 
ring.  How  O'Hara — on  his  pittance — had  tome 
by  it  no  one  knew  ,  at  the  time.  She  was  vastly 
proud  of  it. 

"There's  only  one  thing  that  gets  my  goat." 
she  told  me,  when  she  fust  displayed  the 
diamond  set  token — ''only  one  thing.  It's  kind 
of  a  shame  they've  given  me  such  a  rep — you 
know.  Making  me  out  a  vamp,  you  know. 
When  I've  always  been  so  regular.  Xot  that 
Alan  believes  any  of  the  truck  that's  printed, 
but  still  .  .  .  Well,  it's  hardly  fair  on  a  man 
that  his  wife  should  be  hung  with  scandal  like  a 
Christmas  tree  is  trimmed  with  gla>s  balls. 
And  it  won't  be  any  fun — believe  me — keepin' 
old  magazines  away  from  the  kids  when 
they're  big  enough  to  read!" 

She  was  serious,  dead  serioui.  And  her  con- 
cern was — well,  sweet.   I  patted  her  hand. 

"Don't  you  bother,  dear — "  I  said,  just  as 
seriously — "there'll  have  been  fifty  new  vamps 
— you'll  be  forgotten — by  the  time  your 
children  can  read." 

Strangely  enough  Marie  DuGanne  had  a 
flash  of  pride  in  her  peacock  glory. 

"Quite  forgotten?"  she  said,  just  a  little 
wistfully. 

It  was  then  that  I  kissed  her. 

"No  one."  I  said,  "will  ever  forget  that  bit, 
in  your  first  picture.  When  you  said  your  little 
prayer  over  the  body  of  your  dead  love.  That 
was — art!"    And  Marie  was  comforted. 

And  then  the  snake.  Little  and  blond  and 
baby  eyed.  Coming,  as  did  the  real  baby- 
in  the  nursery  rhyme,  from  "out  of  the  every- 
where into  the  here."  Coming  with  a  quiver- 
ing, silly  little  mouth  and  a  bedraggled  news- 
paper clipping  from  a  middle  western  paper.

to  see  Marie  DuGannc.  We  thought,  at  fir^t. 
that  she  was  just  a  pest — one  of  the  sort  that 
haunts  all  studios.  But  she  was  so  pathetic 
that  finally  word  of  her  reached  .Marie.  And 
the  long  and  short  of  it  was  that  Marie  let 
them  bring  her  up  to  the  star's  dressing  room, 
at  the  rest  hour. 

The  girl — she  was  little-  more  than  a  girl — 
stared  long  at  Marie,  from  the  doorway  of 
that  dressing  room.  Marie,  made  up  in  her 
most  alluring  manner.  One  could  fully  believe 
the  press  stories,  looking  at  her.  All  white  and 
red  and  black,  she  was — all  glorious.  The  girl 
— before  her — was  washed  out,  drab,  by  com- 
parison. And  yet  she,  too,  in  her  way — her 
blond,  ineffectual  way — was  pretty.  Until  she 
began  to  cry. 

Marie — sympathetic,  always — started  for- 
ward. So  did  I — who  had  been  chatting  with 
Marie.  But  the  girl  backed  away  from  us,  as  if 
we  were  something  unclean.  And  one  small, 
chubby  hand  extended  the  aforementioned 
clipping.  It  was  I  who  took  it  from  her  hand — 
and  ran  through  it  hurriedly.  It  was  the 
announcement  of  Marie's  marriage  plans — and 
it  was  decorated  with  her  most  sophisticated 
picture  beside  a  photograph  of  Alan  O'Hara. 
The  heading  was  spectacular.  It  said: 

"Local  boy  wins  Movie  Vamp." 

"So,"  I  said,  "so  Alan's  from  Iowa,  eh?" 
I  had  often  wondered.  And  then  I  spoke  to  the 
girl — "What's  it  all  about?"  I  asked. 

The  girl  gulped  back  a  sob.  Her  small  nose 
was  quite  pink  from  crying,  already. 

"Is  it  true?"  she  asked  of  me.  "About  her — 
an'  Alan?" 

Marie  had  taken  the  clipping  from  my  hand. 
She  was  reading  it  with  a  curiously  prideful 
look  on  her  face — 

"Why,  yes — youngster,"  she  said,  "it's 
true!" 

A  LL  at  once  the  girl  had  started  forward.  At 
■*  *-first  I  thought  that  she  was  going  to  strike 
Marie.  And  then,  suddenly,  she  had  fallen 
upon  her  knees. 

"Oh,  Miss  DuGanne,"  she  beseeched,  "oh, 
you  mustn't.  Why — Alan.  I  love  him.  I  love 
him.    You  can't  take  him  away  from  me!" 

Marie  DuGanne  bent  above  the  little  figure. 
There  was  real  pain  on  her  face.  And  her  voice 
was  gentle.    But — 

"I'm  awfully  sorry,  dear,"  she  said,  "but  I 
love  him,  too.  And  he  loves  me.  I — I  haven't 
taken  him  away  from  you.  I  never  knew  you 
existed.  I  never  knew  that  any  girl  back  in  his 
home  town  was  caring  for  him.  I'm  sorrv, 
but—" 

Viciously  the  girl's  voice  spoke; — 

"You're  sorry!"  she  shrilled.  "Yes,  you 
are.  Men  are  like  dolls  for  you  to  play  with. 
I  know  what  you  said.  Alan — he's  just  some- 
thing new.  You  don't  care  for  him,  not  really. 
But — he  belongs  to  me.  Me.  Why — it's 
the  ring  he  was  buying  for  mc  that  is  on  your 
finger!  He  came  out  here  to  make  money,  so 
as  we  could  be  married.  You  both  have  been 
laughing  about  me,  probably.  You're  bad — 
you  are — and  you've  made  my  Alan  bad! 
But  bad  or  not — he's  mine.  He's  got  to  marry 
me.    He's  got  to.     You  don't  count." 

All  at  once  the  veneer  of  poise  that  was 
Marie  DuGanne  slipped  from  the  slim  shoul- 
ders of  Mary  Dugan.  All  at  once  she  was  the 
girl  that  the  casting  director  had  called  "dark 
Irish."  Her  right  hand  was  shaking  as  it 
pulled  the  stupid  little  ring  from  her  left  one. 

"This  may  be  yours."  she  said,  "though  I 
think  you're  lying.  You  can  have  it  back — 
a  ring  doesn't  mean  a  darn  thing  in  my  life. 
But  my  man  —  you  can't  have  him!"  she 
laughed  —  a  high,  hysterical  note — "You  can't 
have  him.  Just  try  and  get  him.  Just  try! 
What  do  you  mean,  belongs  to  you?  Alan  is 
mine.  Mine.  Try  and  make  mc  give  him  up. 
Why  1 — I'd  kill  you — or  anybody  else — before 
I'd  let  you  have  him.    Do  you — get  me?" 


White  lipped,  dry  eyed,  the  girl  on  the  floor 
looked  up  into  the  dark,  passion-swept  face 
above  her.     And  then — 

"  But  I've  got  to  have  Alan,"  she  whispered. 
"If  I'd  known  before  he  left,  I  wouldn't  have 
let  him  come  out  here  .  .  .  Don't  you — 
understand?  He's  goiter  marry  me  ...  I 
can't  go  home — unless — he — does — " 

All  at  once  she  had  toppled  over  into  a  limp 
little  heap. 

Across  her  body  Marie  DuGanne's  eyes  met 
mine.  She  was  very'  pale.  For  a  moment  she 
didn't  speak.     And  then — 

"  Better  send  her  to  a  hotel, "  she  said.  "  My 
maid  can  take  her,  in  a  taxi.  Say — life's  funny— 
isn't  it?  Awfully  .  .  .  funny  ..."  You 
see,  she  did  understand — quite  perfectly. 

And,  that  nig4it.  she  wrote  a  letter  to  Alan 
O'Hara.  I  sat  beside  her,  at  her  desk,  as  she 
wrote  it.  I  can  tell  the  contents  of  the  note 
to  you,  word  for  word — and  with  no  breach 
of  confidence.  For  the  whole  world  knew  it, 
a  day  after  it  was  penned!  This  is  what  she 
wrote : 

"My  dear  Alan: 

It  was  all  a  mistake — and  I  guess 
it's  time  to  tell  you  that  I'm  through. 
I  guess  I  don't  know  what  love  is — 
maybe  I   never  will  know.     You'd 
better  go  back  home,  away  from  here. 
Maybe  there's  some  girl  waiting  for 
you —  and,  if  there  is,  you'd  better 
marry  her —  and  forget — Marie." 
A  stilted,  badly  worded,  but  gallant  little 
letter.    Sent  by  a  blase  messenger,  after  Marie 
had  kissed  the  envelope  with  a  passionate, 
quivering  mouth. 

A  stupid,  small  letter.  But  when  it  was 
found,  the  next  day.  the  red  stains  upon  it  had 
dignified  it — and  made  a  gruesome  classic  of  it. 
For  .Man  O'Hara  blew  his  brains  out.  above 
that  poor  little  note  of  dismissal.  Thereby 
proving,  to  those  of  us  who  were  skeptics, 
that  he  had  loved  her,  after  his  own  fashion! 

"V'OU  can  imagine,  of  course,  what  the  papers 
-1  said.    One  headline,  especially,  was  livid. 

"Vampire's  Latest  Toy  Ends  Life — "  it 
read — "Broken  Hearted  Lad,  Disillusioned  by 
Screen's  Wickedest  Woman.  Commits  Suicide." 

Marie  read  the  newspaper  reports — all  of 
them.  She  didn't  cry,  not  a  tear.  Her  face 
had  already  assumed  the  lines  that  have  made 
it  like  a  lovely  mask.  She  avoided  reporters — 
making  no  single  statement  in  her  own  defense. 
What  could  she  say,  after  all?  Only  a  certain 
blond  girl  could  have  cleared  her  name  of  the 
charge  of  supreme  cruelty — and  that  girl  had 
disappeared  as  suddenly  as  she  had  appeared! 
There  were  moments  when  I — for  one— doubted 
the  absolute  truth  of  the  girl's  story.  But 
Marie  never  questioned  it.  Indeed,  her  only 
remark  in  regard  to  the  tragedy  —  her  only 
comment,  mind  you! — concerned  the  girl. 

"Poor  kid,"  she  said,  "she  was  crazy  about 
him  too.  This  must  've  knocked  her — as  hard 
— "  she  didn't  finish  that  sentence,  but.  after 
a  moment,  she  spoke  again.  "I  wish  I  could 
find  her, "  she  said  at  last.  "  Her  clothes  were 
pretty  shabby — she  looked  hard  up.  And  she'll 
be  needing  money,  before  long  ..."  That 
was  all. 

Oh.  Marie  DuGanne  didn't  cry — no  one 
ever  saw  her  cry,  again!  No  one  ever  saw 
her  laugh  again,  either — unless  she  was  doing 
it  for  the  watchful  eye  of  the  camera.  She  has 
no  intimates,  and  attends  strictly  to  her  own 
business,  when  she  isn't  on  location.  And  she 
wears  black  always — a  strange  whim,  they  say. 
And  young  girls  shudderingly  flock  to  see  her 
even'  release. 

She's  good  for  a  page  of  publicity  any  day — 
the  press  agents  adore  Marie  DuGanne — 
when  news  is  a  little  scarce  .  .  .  There  are 
always  rumors  about  her  .  .  .  And  sometimes, 
when  the  rumors  grow  a  bit  thick,  the  smaller 
theaters  feel  that  they  must  bar  her  pictures.

Gee,  We  Liked  the  Girl 

Xew  York.  NT.  V. 

I  have  just  seen  Norma  Shearer  in  "His 
Secretary."  Why  must  producers  constantly 
place  these  strains  on  the  credulity  of  their 
audiences?  Not  only  is  the  idea  absolutely 
threadbare  but  bears  not  the  slightest  relation 
to  practical  experience.  Xo  beauty  parlor  in 
the  world  could  work  so  great  a  transformation 
in  one  visit. 

Xot  only  was  the  secretary  terrible  in  appear- 
ance, but  she  was  also  a  prude  of  the  deepest 
dve.  Certainly  seeing  her  employer  overcome 
by  the  charms  of  another  woman  could  not 
have  been  so  great  a  shock  to  her  as  to  make 
her  suddenly  draw  on  her  savings  (and  she 
appears  to  have  been  as  long  on  economy  as  she 
was  short  on  charm1)  and  invest  in  a  set  of  cos- 
tumes that  very  evidently  came  from  some 
shop  not  generally  patronized  by  girls  who 
bring  their  own  lunch. 

Xo.  changes  don't  occur  in  a  second.  They 
take  time.  This  girl's  whole  personality  and 
make-up  couldn't,  even  if  she  had  willed  it  so, 
have  been  changed  by  seeing  her  flirtatious 
employer's  attentions  to  another  woman,  or 
even  by  hearing  the  man  she  was  in  love  with 
say  that  he  would  not  kiss  her  on  a  bet.

That  Finishing  School  Finish 

Hinton,  W.  Ya. 

Pictures  are  improving  to  such  an  extent 
that  even  the  so  called  "intclligentia''  are 
dismounting  from  their  high  horses  to  make 
favorable  comments.  My  sister  was  in  board- 
ing school  several  years  ago,  when  attending 
movies  was  strictly  prohibited,  but  I  am  now- 
attending  the  same  institution  and  we  were 
encouraged  by  the  school  to  see  "The  Fresh- 
man." "The  Midshipman,"  "The  Vanishing 
American,"  "Ben  Hur,"  and  several  others. 
It's  a  strict  old  southern  school,  too,  and  the 
putting  of  its  mark  of  approval  on  the  cinema 
means  something — to  its  students  and  alumnae, 
at  least. 

We  hear  about  Alberta  Yaughan.  but  not  so 
much  about  Larry  Kent;  he's  a  dear — collegi- 
ate is  the  word!  Mary  Ellex  Dars. 


The  Telephone  at  the  Qentennial 


One  hundred  years  after  the 
signing  of  the  Declaration  of 
Independence,  the  infant  tele- 
phone was  first  exhibited  at  the 
Philadelphia  Exposition. 

Since  the  dawn  of  civiliza- 
tion, mankind  had  sought  some 
means  of  communicating  over 
distances  which  unaided  hu- 
man speech  could  not  bridge. 
Drums,  signal  fires,  runners,  the 
pony  express,  and  finally  the 
electric  telegraph  were  means 
to  get  the  message  through.  It 
remained  for  the  telephone  to 
convey  a  speaker's  words  and 


tones  over  thousands  of  miles. 

"My  God,  it  talks!"  ex- 
claimed the  Emperor  of  Brazil 
before  a  group  of  scientists  at 
the  Philadelphia  Exposition, 
as  he  recognized  the  voice  of 
Alexander  Graham  Bell,  dem- 
onstrating the  new  invention. 

Today,  after  a  brief  half- 
century,  the  telephone  lines  of 
the  Bell  System  have  become 
the  nerves  of  the  nation.  The 
telephone  connects  citizen 
with  citizen,  city  with  city, 
state  with  state  for  the  peace 
and  prosperity  of  all.

New  York  City 
The  great  vogue  and  popularity  of  Jack  Gil- 
Ijt-n  are  amazing  to  mt — 1  do  not  like  him.  He 
doi  not  interest  me  in  the  least.  His  personal- 
ity is  so  obnoxious  to  me,  and  so  dominates  his 
a<  ting,  that,  although  he  may  have  a  great 
talent,  I  could  never  enjoy  him  on  the  screen, 
and  it  is  hard  for  me  to  understand  how  others 
can.  I  have  seen  "The  Big  Parade"  and  "The 
Merry  Widow,"  and  enjoyed  them,  but  not 
because  of  Mr.  Gilbert, —  in  spile  of  him. 

But,  of  course,  "every  one  to  his  own  taste." 
But  1  am  so  tired  reading  all  the  extravagant 
praise  of  Mr.  Gilbert,  that  I  want  the  world  to 
know  that  there  is  one  person  who  hasn't  fallen 
for  him. 

Mr.  Gilbert  is  called  dashing,  brilliant,  the 
most  charming,  and  the  best  actor  the  screen 
has  ever  known!  In  my  opinion,  there  are  no 
dashing  actors  on  the  screen;  there  is  one  bril- 
liant one — Adolphe  Menjou  (I  saw  him  in  per- 
son the  other  night  and  he  is  fascinating);  only 
three  really  charming  ones;  Ronald  Colman, 
Richard  Barthelmess  and  Ramon  Xovarro. 
These  three,  of  course,  have  talent.  Mr.  Bar- 
thelmess, in  my  opinion,  being  the  most  versa- 
tile and  Mr.  Colman  the  most  attractive.  The 
best  actors  on  the  screen,  in  my  opinion,  are 
Emil  Jannings,  Wallace  Beery,  Lon  Chaney 
(without  his  grotesque  disguises),  and  Mr. 
Menjou.  Charlie  Chaplin,  of  course,  stands 
alone — the  most  interesting  person  on  the 
screen  and  the  most  appealing.

Tommy  Meighan,  Please  Note 

Ashley,  Mass. 

"For  ways  that  are  dark  and  tricks  that  are 
vain,"  the  habits  of  stardom  are  peculiar. 

Milton  Sills  wins  stellar  honors  for  his  per- 
formance in  "The  Sea  Hawk."  Qualified  to 
play  middle-aged  adventurers  in  picturesque, 
swift-moving  tales,  he  suggests  roles  like  Sir 
Henry  Morgan,  Francis  Drake  and  the  soldier 
of  fortune  in  "  St.  Martin's  Summer."  Instead, 
he  appears  as  a  lovely  young  policeman,  a  prize 
fighter,  and  a  bashful  Italian  duke — and  these 
in  puerile  stories  which  the  critics  warn  us  to 
avoid. 

In  "The  Miracle  Man"  Thomas  Meighan 
gives  a  gripping  portrayal  of  a  crook  who  dis- 
covers his  conscience.  The  sequel — stardom. 
Now  Meighan  plays  college  youths,  local  boys 
who  make  good,  and  dear  whimsical  chaps  who 
romp  with  the  kiddies.  Even  the  Meighan 
fans — and  there  are  none  more  loyal — are  be- 
ginning to  wish  that  Tom  would  do  some  real 
acting  in  a  real  story.  Meighan  has  been 
quoted  as  wishing  to  play  roles  from  Conrad 
and  Eugene  O'Neill.  Pie  is  also  said  to  have 
more  latitude  in  production  management  than 
any  other  player  on  the  lot.  What's  the 
answer? 

These  are  only  two  of  numerous  rases  which 
lead  the  fan  to  wonder  why  stardom  so  often 
means  miscasting,  poor  stories  and  cheap  and 
jumbled  production.

How  I  wish  for  the  pen  of  an  inspired  poet 
that  I  might  lay  a  glowing  bouquet  of  words  at 
the  feet  of  the  greatest  actor  of  either  the 
American  stage  or  films — John  Barrvmore. 

He  must  be  used  to  bouquets — but  he  de- 
serves them  all. 

His  pittures  are  always  worth  going  to  see 
and  his  acting  is  never  mediocre.  No  back- 
sliding' for  Mr.  Barrvmore! 

Saw  his  "Sea  Beast"  last  week.  Xo  one 
but  Barrvmore  could  have  played  the  difficult 
role  of  Aliah;  in  his  hands  this  role  lived  with  a 
realism  that  will  remain  in  my  memory  for  a 
long  time.  When  he  changed  from  the  ambi- 
tious, handsome,  laughing  Ahab  to  the  surly 
embittered  Ahab,  who  lost  his  leg — a  little  bit 
of  my  heart  died  and  didn't  revive  till  he  came 
into  his  own  again.  .  .  .  and  yet  I  go  to  the 
movies  at  least  three  times  a  week ! 

I'd  love  to  see  him  in  a  straight  role  where  he 
remains  young  and  handsome  to  the  end  . 
could  you  people  do  anything  to  help  this 
along?  Mvriel  Hoyey. 

Watta  Bouquet! 

Woodford  Wells.  England 
My  biggest  bouquet  goes  to  Constance  Ben- 
nett, the  loveliest  girl  in  the  motion  pictures. 
She  is  not  only  beautiful,  and  by  far  the  best 
actress  I  have  ever  seen,  but  she  also  has  real 
ability.  Are  there  stupid  enough  people  who 
say  that  she  cannot  act?  Well,  that  girl  is  a 
real  find  and  most  emphatically  do  I  say  that 
she  is  a  wonder.  I  have  pleasure  in  being  able 
to  say  that  I  have  not  missed  a  single  one  of  her 
pictures,  and  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that 
Miss  Bennett  is  steadfastly  improving.  "Into 
the  Net,"  "Cytherea,"  "My  Wife  and  I." 
"Code  of  the  West.''  "My  Son"  and  "The 
Goose  Hangs  High."  are  not  all  these  pictures 
proof  enough  that  she  is  just  fine? 

I  do  not  suppose  that  anyone  who  saw  her  in 
Nazimova's  last  screen  offering  can  forget  her 
portrayal  of  the  role  of  Betty  Smith.  The  flap- 
pers, which  the  fair  Miss  Bennett  enacts,  are 
real,  they  are  human,  not  mere  puppets.  Hers 
lack  nothing  and  have  the  mark  of  individual- 
ity, which  is  so  essential,  whereas,  those  of  our 
other  stars  are  rendered  too  theatrical  to  make 
the  modern  woman  convincing. 

May  Constance  Bennett  be  always  remem- 
bered as  an  actress  worth  idolizing.  Any  one 
who  differs  with  me  about  this  brilliant  young 
artiste,  let  him  stand  up  and  say  so.  I  believe 
there  is  no  one  who  can  hold  a  candle  to  this 
charming  and  graceful  creature.

entertainment.  May  they  have  many  suc- 
cessors!  Mrs.  Alfred  B.  Gc.ndlack.

Fancy  This! 

Philadelphia,  Pa. 

All  interest  ami  endeavor  of  the  fan  public 
is  quite  a  thankless  occupation  and  non-con- 
siderable so  far  as  producers  arc  concerned. 
How  many  countless  fans  have  been  clamoring 
for  the  revival  of  Wallace  Reid's  films  and  the 
come-back  of  Ethel  Clayton?  But — has  the 
wise  producer  heeded?    Xo! 

And  all  this  beauty  contest  stutT.  Those 
fortunate  twelve  make  me  "laff." 

I  only  could  name  one  thoroughly  beautiful 
actress  among  them  all.  She  is  Kathlyn  Wil- 
lianis.  In  Miss  Williams  the  screen  has  all  the 
qualities  it  can  over  possess.  Others  may  imi- 
tate, but  Kathlyn  Williams  down  through  all 
her  long  years  as  a  screen  luminary  stands 
alone.

Woof!     Woof! 

Chicago 

Please  tell  me  why  some  of  the  old  men  of  the 
s  :reen  don't  retire  and  let  some  of  the  young 
sheiks  come  up?  For  instance,  Huntley  Gor- 
don, Lowell  Sherman  and  Milton  Sills,  old 
enough  to  be  grandads. 

Who  wants  to  see  two  old  people  like  Anna 
Q,  Xilsson  and  Milton  Sills  make  love?  An- 
other silly  couple,  young  and  old,  Ben  Lyon  and 
Anna  Q.    She's  old  enough  to  be  his  mother. 

Why  all  this  silly  sex  stuff  of  Aileen  Pringle 
and  Robert  Edeson  as  the  villain?  Why  not 
clean  American  stuff,  more  of  Richard  Dix, 
George  O'Brien,  George  K.  Arthur  and  Ramon 
Xovarro;  not  Milton  Sills,  Conway  Tearle  and 
Huntley  Gordon. 

Give  us  young  girls,  such  as  Esther  Rals- 
ton, not  Aileen  Pringle;  Mary  Brian,  not 
Florence  Vidor.  We  want  young,  American 
girls — not  divorced  women.

"Dear  J^ady 

Won't  you  try— FREE 

this  aid  to  loveliness  which 

distinguished  women  call 

their  favorite 


The  ah  101  ol  a  great  magazine 
recently  asked  a  qroup  of 
women  -  celebrities  wh.it  was 
their  favorite  luxury.  The 
£reat  majority  answered,  "the 
perfumed  bath  of  softened 
water." 

That  answer  merely  reflects  the 
greatest  development  of  the 
past  live  years  in  the  realm  of 
the  toilette. 

Today  fastidious  women  every- 
where are  realizing  that  the 
hath   may  be  more   than  a 
routine  duty-that,  instead, 
it  may  be  a  rare  delight  to 
the  senses  and  a  veritable 
fountain   of   youth    and 
daintiness. 

Of  all  the  preparations 
for  the  bath,  Batha- 
sweet  is  the  most  de- 
lightful  and  effec- 
tive. Just  asprinkle 
of  it   in  your  tub 
scents  the  water 
and  the  air  about 


\uu  with  .1  delicious  perfume. 
The  water  becomes  so  soft  and 
limpid  that  ) ust  to  move  about 
in  it,  to  feci  its  silky  touch  upon 
your  skin,  is  a  joy  to  thesenscs. 

But  mote  than  that — the  Bath- 
asweet  bath  washes  deep  into 
the  pores,  cleansing   them  of 
every  impurity,  and  giving  the 
skin   a   healthy,   unblemished 
vigor  that  adds  immensely  to 
your  feeling  of  well-being.  At 
the  same  time  it  leaves  about 
you  for  hours  an  almost 
scentless  fragrance — subtly 
suggestive  of  recent  bath- 
ing,  of  daintiness   and 
spring-time  freshness  —  a 
charm  that  "keeps  you 
lovely   all   day    long." 

Bathasweet  comes  in 
cans  at  25c,  50c  and 
$1,  and  in  beaitiful 
bottles  at  $1.50 — at 
all  drug  and  de- 
partment stores.  A

Isn't  II  the  Truth? 

New  York  City 
What  beautiful  thoughts  of  life  and  love  are 

revealed  to  us  in  the  movies  and  how  splendidly 
such  roles  an-  portrayed  by  John  Gilbert  and 
his  former  wife.  Leatrice  Joy.  But  no  stop.'  in 
real  life  could  be  so  full  of  pathos  and  heart 
throbs  as  the  real  story  of  1  hese  charming  stars. 

I  was  fortunate  enough  to  secure  a  seat 
direi  tly  in  bat  k  of  them  a<  the  opening  of  "The 
Big  Parade"  and  witnessed  a  touching  and 
sweet  sight  to  see  them  sitting  there — holding 
hands!  Imagine  the  joy  of  being  still  in  love 
and  devoted  to  each  other,  although  divorced 
and  parted! 

I  am  rooting  so  hard  for  Leatrice  and  John 
to  again  become  united  as  I  don't  think  there 
is  a  sweeter,  truer  pair  of  people  than  these  two, 
and  with  their  charming  little  daughter, 
Leatrice  2nd,  I  am  sure  they  would  find 
worlds  of  happiness  together.

Why  Do  They  Do  It? 

Mt.  Vernon,  New  York 
Here  is  a  bouquet  with  a  brickbat  inside. 
Last  week  I  saw  "Sally,.  Irene  and  Mary."  I 
enjoyed  the  picture  immensely  and  think  that 
Sally  O'Neil  is  just  as  sweet  and  cute  as  she 
can  be.  BUT,  with  producers  spending  large 
sums  of  money  and  travelling  to  other  coun- 
tries, why  did  the  one  responsible  for  t he- 
death  of  Irene,  who  was  on  her  way  to  Green- 
wich to  be  married,  have  the  train  that  struck 
her  drawn  by  a  steam  engine?  I  live  in  'West- 
chester county,  New  York,  which  is  the  direct 
route  to  Greenwich  from  New  Y'ork  City. 
Any  school  child  can  tell  you  that  the  only 
railroad  that  runs  from  New  York  to  Green- 
wich is  an  electric  road.  Also  the  road  to 
Greenwich  is  the  famous  Boston  Post  Road 
and  not  once  between  New  York  and  Green- 
wich does  a  railroad  cross  the  road.  How 
come,  Mr.  Goulding,  how  come?

Oh,  Poor  Lou 

Milwaukee,  Wis. 
It  seems  too  bad  that  Lou  Tellegen  cannot 
"act  his  age"  and  let  some  of  the  younger  and 
newer  stars  have  a  chance.  Nothing  is  more 
disgusting  to  me  than  to  see  him  playing 
opposite  Elaine  Hammerstein  and  trying  to 
act  "kittenish."  He  must  remember  that 
"every  dog  has  his  day"  and  he  has  had  his.

Broadway  Loves  Leon 

Bridgeport.  Conn. 
Whoever  heard  of  Leon  Errol  as  an  actor? 
He  belongs  in  a  hospital  instead  of  on  the 
screen,  and  what  has  happened  to  Xita  Xaldi's 
cleverness?  For  her  to  appear  in  such  an  im- 
possible picture  as  "Clothes  Make  the  Pirate.  " 
with  such  an  impossible  actor  as  Leon  Errol. 
is  an  insult  to  her  own  art.  Why  waste  the 
public's  time  on  a  picture  like  this  when  John 
Gilbert  or  Gloria  Swanson  could  be  using  the 
screen  to  such  good  advantage?

Bessie's  Love 

Rogers  Park.  111. 

I  would  like  to  throw  a  big  bouquet  to  Bessie 
Love.  People  are  always  writing  and  saying 
who  the  perfect  type  of  American  boy  is — why 
is  nothing  ever  said  about  the  perfect  type  of 
American  girl?  I'm  sure  if  some  of  Photo- 
play's readers  would  think  it  over  they  would 
think  that  Bessie  Love  comes  nearest  to  it. 
1  think  she  acts  so  very  natural  and  unaffected, 
and  that's  more  than  most  of  our  younger 
actresses  do. 

The  two  pictures  I  liked  her  best  in  were: 
"New  Brooms,"  and  the  "Song  ami  Dance 
Man."  1  love  the  picture  of  her  in  the  Febru- 
ary issue  of  Photoplay.  Let's  have  more 
like  it.  M.H. 


Grace  Notes

"  Sweet  Alice — Ben  Bolt." — Alice  Terry  and 
Ben  Lyon. 

"Hot  Lips." — Mae  Murray.

Some  Brickbat 

Greene.  Maine 
I  am  aiming  a  whopping  brickbat  at  Leatrice 
Joy.  She  is  trying  to  start  a  new  fad  by  chang- 
ing her  personality.  No  one  can  change  their 
personality.  I  think  she  is  horrid,  and  I  simply 
detest  her  newest  bob. 

I  throw  another  brickbat  of  the  same  dimen- 
sions at  Mae  Murray  and  fully  agree  with 
Vevie  Spencer,  of  Buffalo,  who  won  the  $5 
letter  in  the  February  Photoplay.  All  the 
movies  are  nearly  the  same,  because  in  every 
one  there  is  at  least  one  scantily  dressed  girl 
prancing  around  in  your  face. 

I  think  that  "Sally.  Irene  and  Mary"  is  in- 
decent. If  only  there  were  more  movies  with 
decent  acting. 

Disgusted  June. 

They  Were  Great ! 

San  Francisco.  Calif. 

As  long  as  we  have  pictures  directed  as  well 
as  Ibanez'  "The  Torrent."  with  its  blending  of 
Beauty  and  Truth,  we  need  not  fear  for  the 
fate  of  the  motion  picture  industry.  In  par- 
ticular, two  notes  stand  out  in  bas  relief:  the 
one  where  the  heroine  sees  the  hideous  tragedy 
of  what  the  years  have  done  to  her  lover,  whom 
she  has  visualized  as  remaining  young  and 
charming,  unscathed  by  the  mediocrity  of  his 
life;  and  again  the  final  note  where  the  poor 
woman,  catching  a  glimpse  of  the  dancer  in  her 
limousine,  surrounded  by  the  things  wealth  can 
buy.  remarks.  "She  must  be  happy,  for  she  lias 
everything  she  wants."  A  touch  of  O.  Henry 
in  its  satire  of  life,  finely  handled. 

And  again  look  at  "The  Big  Parade."  The 
thing  haunted  me  for  days — that  tramp 
through  the  woods. — it  was  immense.  Let  us 
have  more  like  these. 

AlLEEN  DE  YlLBISS. 

For  Gloria 

Winnipeg.  Man. 

I  am  an  ardent  booster  for  Gloria  Swanson 
and  of  course  1  think  she  is  the  best  star,  also 
the  best  artist  in  the  movie  world.  She  is  a 
most  fascinating  personage  with  those  gor- 
geous gowns  and  most  expensive  dresses  of 
hers,  but  believe  me  she  surely  did  let  us  fellows 
know  what  she  was  made  of  in  "  Stage  Struck." 
and  I  hope  she  appears  as  much  as  possible. 

Therefore,  three  hearty  and  welcome  cheers 
for  our  Great  Gloria  who  has  so  successfully 
won  the  hearts  of  all  people. 

Mr.  Edward  Lepebure. 

Short,  But  Not  Sweet 

Chicago.  111. 
Here  is  a  brickbat  for  each  of  these  three. 
In  my  mind  they  are  the  worst  on  the  screen. 
They  are  Gloria  Swanson,  Eon  Chancy  and 
Carol  Dempster.  Her  "Sally  of  the  Sawdust" 
was  awful.  Nancy  Lesh.

\\  illiam's  Kisses 

Swampscott,  Mass. 
In  the  December  number  of  Photoplay 
Alma  Reitmann  remarked  on  the  perfect  kiss  of 
Reginald  Denny  and  Man-  Astor.   Well,  if  that 

was  perfect  what  about  William  Haines'  kisses? 

Those  who  saw  "The  Tower  of  Lies,"  "The 
Denial."  or  "The  Midnight  Express"  may  re- 
call William  Haines  in  his  love  scenes.  Why 
doesn't  someone  "discover"  William?  He  is 
an  unusually  hue  actor  but  has  been  miscast 
in  nearly  all  of  his  pictures. 

The  scene  in  "The  Midnight  Express," 
where  the  British  villain  encounters  William 
Haines  in  a  lonely  shack  on  the  mountain  side. 
was  remarkably  well  done.  Instead  of  bravely 
Stalking  up  to  the  villain  to  tight  him,  tlu-  hero 
tries  to  run  away  and  shows  his  fear  plainly. 
In  this  part,  Barrymore,  Valentino  or  any  other 
actor  could  not  have  done  better. 

I  hope  some  director  will  hear  my  plea  and 
give  William  Haines  some  role  suited  to  him — 
and  an  important  one.  I  have  seen  nearly 
every  picture  that  he  has  been  in  since  "Three 
Wise  Fools."  and.  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  he 
has  never  sent  me  his  picture,  which  I  have 
written  for  at  least  a  dozen  times,  I  shall  con- 
tinue to  see  all  of  his  pictures.

Beauty  and  "The  Dark  Angel" 

Miami,  Fla. 

A  picture  has  been  presented  to  the  Ameri- 
can public  which  contains  beauty.  A  million 
eyes  have  seen  it  as  "The  Dark  Angel." 

Even  as  real  beauty  is  always  scarce,  so  is 
this  type  of  play.  It  was  not  flawless.  Per- 
haps that  is  good.  The  great  masses  seldom, 
if  ever,  care  for  the  cold  splendor  of  perfection. 
Much  credit  is  due  to  our  amazingly  good 
"comedies  but  the  truly  beautiful  picture  is  a 
very  welcome  addition  to  the  screen. 

A  hint  of  the  unknown  quantity  arrests  one's 
attention  when  Yilma  Banky  is  first  seen. 
There  is  something  about  her  which  com- 
mands your  interest.  It  seems  to  tell  you  that 
here  is  a  personality  which  will  either  achieve 
greatness  or  make  a  tremendously  interesting 
failure. 

Not  a  great  actor,  yet  one  who  never  makes 
you  conscious  that  he  acts,  who  always  invests 
his  role  with  charm;  that  is  Ronald  Colman. 

To  the  combined  efforts  of  the  producer, 
cameraman,  and  actors  belong  the  laurels  of 
this  lovely  production.

[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  55 


BRIDE  OF  THE  STORM— Warner  Bros. 

A  GRIPPING  melodrama  against  the  back- 
■*»■  ground  of  the  sea.  The  talented  and 
beautiful  Dolores  Costello  is  the  chief  claim  to 
your  attention  and  again  she  gives  an  excellent 
performance.  There  are  splendid  characteriza- 
tions throughout  the  picture  by  Tyrone  Power. 
Sheldon  Lewis  and  Otto  Matieson,  but  at 
times  they  become  gruesome.  However,  at  the 
opportune  moment,  a  dashing  young  American 
(Johnny  Harron)  appears  on  the  scene  and 
relieves  the  monotony. 

DESERT  GOLD— Paramount 

A  MELODRAMA  of  the  great  open  spaces, 
■**■  adapted  from  a  Zane  Grey  novel,  will  not 
stand  minute  inspection,  but  is  mighty  good 
entertainment.  Shirley  Mason  is  a  sweet 
senorita  who  is  desired  by  the  wicked  villain 
(William  Powell).  She  is  rescued  by  Xeil 
Hamilton  and  Robert  Frazer,  the  former  doing 
the  noble  act  of  giving  her  up  because  she 
loves  the  latter.  How  gallant  our  movie  heroes 
are  getting!

THE  title  has  nothing  to  do  with  the  story, 
so  don't  let  it  fool  you.  The  story  has  noth- 
ing to  do  with  either  comedy  or  melodrama, 
though  it  assays  both.  It's  an  obvious  attempt 
to  do  another  "  Bat "  comedy-mystery.  Instead 
of  being  funny,  it's  merely  cuckoo.  Rod  La 
Rocque,  as  an  English  lord,  is  pretty  sad. 
Elinor  Fair,  DeMille's  new  discovery,  acts  as 
though  Cecil  had  better  look  again. 


THE  NUTCRACKER— Associated 
Exhibitors 

NOT  all  that  it's  cracked  up  to  be.  The 
story  itself  is  amusing  and  had  it  been 
developed  properly,  this  would  have  been  a 
perfect  riot.  Instead,  it  just  rambles  on.  furnish- 
ing a  few  smiles  now  and  then.  It's  all  about  a 
henpecked  husband  who  fakes  loss  of  memory 
to  get  away  from  his  wife.  But  just  try  and  fool 
a  wife!  Edward  Horton  and  Mav  Busch  are 
fair. 

THE  RADIO  DETECTIVE— Universal 

A  N  excellent  serial  for  the  boys.  The  Boy 
-**-Scout  Movement  co-operated  in  the  produc- 
tion of  this  picture,  so  the  youngster  will  find 
this  enjoyable.  Jack  Daugherty  is  the  hero 
who  perfects  a  device  whereby  the  poor  folks 
will  obtain  as  much  amusement  from  the  radio 
as  the  wealthy.  The  Villain  and  his  gang  are 
anxious  to  obtain  this  piece  of  work — but  do 
they  get  it?     See  it.  it's  great! 

SIBERIA— Fox 

HERE  are  Russians  rushing  all  over  the 
place,  trying  to  start  a  revolution  every  live 
minutes.  It  deals  with  the  efforts  of  the  down- 
trodden to  throw  oft"  their  imperial  shackles 
and  pictures  the  fate  of  those  leaders  who  were 
so  bold  as  to  champion  the  cause  of  freedom. 
The  picture  is  fairly  interesting  and  boasts  of  a 
well-known  cast.  Alma  Rubens,  Edmund  Lowe. 
Lou  Tellegen,  Libyan  Tashman  and  Tom 
Santschi, 


THE  PRISCE  OF  PILSEN- 
Dist.  Co. 

nrRV  if  you  can  to  laugh  at  this,  for  it's  sup- 
■*■  posed  to  be  a  comedy,  but  in  an  effort  to 
gag  it  up  a  great  deal  of  the  humor  is  lost  and 
the  picture  becomes  tiresome.  The  only  saving 
grace  is  the  presence  of  Anita  Stewart  in  the 
cast.  We  wish  Anita  wouldn't  neglect  us  so.  by 
her  disappearance  even'  now  and  then.  The 
remainder  of  the  cast  is  composed  of  George 
Sidney.  Allan  Forrest  and  Myrtle  Stedman. 

THE  HIGHBISDERS— Associated 
Exhibitors 

V\  7ILLIAM  TILDEX  as  an  actor  is  a  better 
*V  tennis  player.  Evidently  the  producer 
thought  his  name  tacked  on  to  a  picture  would 
draw  the  curious  to  the  box-office.  It  is  a 
thinly  woven  plot  that  puts  you  to  sleep  and 
when  you  awaken  you  still  know  what  it's  all 
about.  Tilden  is  by  no  means  a  photographic 
study  and  he's  as  awkward  as  an  ox.  A  word  to 
the  wise  is  sufficient — use  your  own  judgment. 

THE  SAP— Warner  Bros. 

AND  the  sappiest  picture  we  have  ever  seen. 
The  plot  is  very  stupid — a  boy.  brought  up 
on  his  mother's  apron  strings,  is  erroneously 
decorated  for  bravery  during  the  war.  The 
town  turns  out  to  welcome  him  on  his  return, 
but  through  several  incidents  they  find  he's 
"yaller. "  The  boy  fights  cowardice  to  win  the 
girl  and  again  becomes  the  town  idol.  Bring  on 
the  newsreels,  they're  more  interesting  than 
this! 

THE   MIRACLE    OF   LIFE— Associated 
Exhibitors 

WELL,  it  will  be  a  miracle  if  you  are  able  to 
sit  through  this.  It  is  one  of  those  obscene 
themes — the  least  said  about  it  the  Letter.  We 
are  surprised  at  Percy  Marmont  and  Mae 
Busch  for  even  thinking  of  appearing  in  such 
cheap  trash.  All  we  can  say — slay  away  from 
this. 

THE  FIGHTING  BUCKAROO—Fox 

EVERYTHING  that  is  expected  of  Buck 
Jones  can  be  found  here.  Fights,  thrills, 
laughs  galore  and  whatnot !  The  story  is  woven 
around  an  Arizona  buckaroo  who  raced  across 
the  continent  to  close  an  option — only  to  find 
that  the  owner  was  the  girl  he  loved.  The  boys 
will  love  this,  for  Buck,  in  a  careless  little  way, 
starts  the  laughing  muscles  to  be  Umbered  up 
again. 

RUSTLING  FOR  CUPID— Fox 

BELIEVE  it  or  not.  Cupid  in  this  case  is  cow 
thieves.  Now  what  could  be  sweeter  and 
more  romantic?  George  O'Brien  and  Anita 
Stewart  are  the  lovers  who  are  parted  when  his 
father  is  accused  of  cattle  rustling.  But  there's 
a  family  skeleton  in  her  closet  and  eventually 
everything  is  made  known.  The  scenery  is 
beautiful. 

THE  FIGHTING  BOOB—F.  B.  O. 

A  NO  I'l  1F.U  boring  Western.  Not  one  of  the 
trite  old  tricks  is  left  out.  It  contains  every- 
thing, from  a  stagecoach  holdup  to  the  kidnap- 
ping of  the  gal.  The  whole  thing  is  terribly 
muddled.  Bob  Custer  and  Violet  Palmer  have 
the  leads,  if  that's  any  encouragement.  Even 
the  kids  will  turn  it  down.

She's  a  Darling 

Oberlin,  Ohio 

I  want  to  say  fully  and  frankly  what  I  think 
about  Esther  Ralston.  She  is  not  an  artistic 
actress,  but  she  has  a  certain  realistic,  quiet, 
quaint  charm  about  her  which  attracts  the 
public.  The  first  picture  I  saw  her  in  was 
"Peter  Pan."  She  made  a  lovely  mother.  1 
am  glad  now-  she  can  play  in  younger  parts. 
"The  Lucky  Devil''  and  "The  American 
Venus"  were  good  pictures. 

To  Mir-s  Ralston  goes  the  bouquet  for  her 
perseverance  she  has  had  during  her  screen  life. 
I  hope  she  succeeds  to  take  big  her  steps  to 
stardom.  I  would  like  to  see  Mis-  Ralston  in 
quaint  pictures,  such  as  "  Robin  Hood,"  "The 
Thief  of  Bagdad."  Congratulations  and  many 
lovely  feelings  to  my  favorite  star— Esther 
Ralston!

New  Faces 

Danville.  Til. 
I  am  much  interested  in  these  new  personali- 
ties which  are  continually  cropping  up  on  the 
screen.  They  challenge  attention,  these  young- 
sters— some  of  them  aren't  very  young,  at  that, 
are  they?  There  is  Sally  O'Xeil.  that  charming 
bit  of  the  Emerald  Isle.  She  is  so  fresh  and 
vital  And  Joan  Crawford — she  seems  to 
typify  so  perfectly  Irene  in  "Sally,  Irene  and 
Mary" — she  seems  just  that  sort  of  a  girl. 
Douglass  Gilmore  is  a  very  interesting  young 
man.  He  seems  to  have  something  of  the  fatal 
fascination  of  Adolphe  Menjou.  Then,  there 
are  Constance  Bennett  and  John  Patrick,  who 
aren't  so  new  to  the  screen,  but  who  seem  to 
have  acquired  new  popularity.  Roy  D'Arcy. 
He  is  the  most  interesting  figure  on  the  screen 
today,  in  my  opinion,  with  Yilma  Banky  as  his 
feminine  rival.  I  haven't  seen  Louise  Brooks 
as  yet,  but  her  picture  looks  perfectly  delect- 
able. Too,  we  have  those  charming  blondes, 
Joyce  Compton,  Dorothy  Seastrom  and  Gwen 
Lee  and  that  handsome  youngster.  Raymond 
Keane.  What  do  they  promise?  Are  they  the 
Gloria  Swansons.  Norma  Shearers,  Yalentinos 
and  Xovarros  of  the  future?  It  is  interesting 
to  watch.

Paging  Jackie's  Barber 

Yonkers   X.  Y 

Do  you  suppose  anyone  could  induce  Jackie 
Coogan  to  wear  his  hair  to  denote  his  sex?  An 
American  born  boy  of  his  age  with  a  bang!  It 
is  inconceivable.  The  boy  has  had  all  child- 
hood directed  out  of  him!  A  few  runs  with 
"Our  Gang"  would  much  benefit  the  child; 
right  down  to  little  Farina  with  the  "twelve 
pound  look"  of  shoes  could  give  Jackie  valu- 
able points  and  make  him  realize  that  his  head 
has  the  appearance  of  a  "Jap"  baby. 

Mr.  Eugene  O'Brien  should  be  relegated  to 
the  middle  aged  players.  Featured  as  the 
young  American  in  "  Graustark"  he  was  a  joke; 
while  Miss  Talmadge  is  old  for  the  character 
she  assumed,  Eugene  appeared  like  a  step- 
father walking  in  his  sleep! 

Wish  the  Conway  Tearles,  O'Briens  and  a 
few  others  would  vacate  as  youngsters  and  give 
the  genuine  ones  a  chance.  Kenneth  Harlan, 
Ronald  Colman  are  excellent;  Bert  Lytell  also. 
I  don't  know  his  age  but  Mr.  Lytell  at  least 
registers  and  appears  the  part  of  being  young!

Some  Like  Them  Hot 

San  Francisco,  Cal. 

With  so  much  talk  lately  about  screen  lovers 
and  love  scenes,  I'd  like  to  put  in  a  word.  Do 
you  know  whose  love  scenes  I  enjoy  more  than 
any  other  actor's?  Doug  Fairbanks'.  And  I 
know  of  many  other  fans  who  agree  with  me. 
Doug's  love  scenes  lack  the  passion  of  the  per- 
fervid  Valentino,  and  the  sensuousness  of  John 
Gilbert's,  but,  oh,  how  gloriously  chivalrous 
they  are,  taking  us  out  of  this  mundane  world 
for  a  brief  but  ecstatic  hour.  They  contain  real 
tenderness,  a  quality  greatly  to  be  desired,  but 
sadly  lacking  in  most  love  scenes. 

The  sinuous,  snaky,  and  sheik-like  embraces, 
so  popular  with  a  certain  class,  are  not  to  be 
mentioned  in  the  same  breath  with  Douglas 
Fairbanks'  bubblingly  joyous,  effervescent  love 
scenes.  Why  aren't  there  more  love  scenes 
like  Doug's?

Until  recently  I  was  "on  the  fence"  as  re- 
garded censorship  of  the  films.  But  the  treat- 
ment accorded  "Sally,  Irene  and  Mary''  has 
changed  my  opinion.  Now,  I  am  decidedly 
opposed  to  censorship. 

I  first  saw  this  picture  at  the  Capitol  and 
thoroughly  enjoyed  it.  Weeks  later  it  played 
up-town,  and  I  went  with  friends,  promising 
them  good  entertainment. 

To  my  utter  surprise  the  picture  had  been 
censored,  with  entirely  new  sub-titles  substi- 
tuted, and  important  sequences  cut. 

The  performances  of  Constance  Rennett 
and  Joan  Crawford  were  ruined.  By  the  sugar 
coating  of  the  action  the  audience  presumed 
that  they  were  over-acting. 

The  picture  was  handed  to  Sally  O'Neil  since 
she  was  fortunate  in  her  non-censorable  role. 

Such  censorship  has  its  tongue  in  its  chock. 
Every  normal,  intelligent  person  can  guess  at 
the  true  significance  of  the  story.  Thus  a  pic- 
ture becomes  doubly  suggestive. 

And  such  censorship  is  too  personal,  permit- 
ting of  partiality,  to  make  or  break  actors  and 
directors. 

Indeed  it  should  be  abolished.

Just  a  few  words  in  praise  of  my  favorite, 
George  O'Brien.  I  think  he  is  without  doubt 
Wally  Reid's  successor  and  is  altogether  as 
handsome  and  loving.  Now  come  on  ever) 
bodv.  give  three  cheers  for  George  O'Brien,  and 
a  big  brickbat  for  anyone  who  dares  to  criticize 
him,  the  most  lovable,  dashing  hero  of  them  all.

Thanks  to  sensible  authors  and  intelligent 
producers,  our  movies  are  practically  perfect. 
They  entertain,  educate,  and  inspire,  with  va- 
riety to  please  all. 

"The  Live  Wire"  made  me  laugh. 

"Little  Annie  Rooney"'  made  me  cry. 

"  A  Kiss  for  Cinderella"  made  me  dream  and 
wish. 

'•Graustark"  thrilled  me  with  romance  and 
adventure. 

"The  Lost  World"  filled  me  with  pride  to 
think  that  I  am  fortunate  enough  to  be  living 
in  an  age  when  man's  achievements  reach  such 
heights  of  knowledge  and  daring. 

"The  Phantom  of  the  Opera''  began  beauti- 
fully with  COLORFD  pictures  MOVING,  but 
too  exciting  to  see  finished. 

Lewis  Stone,  James  Kirkwood,  Norma  Tal- 
madge, Norma  Shearer  and  Betty  Bronson  are 
particularly  to  my  liking.  Fach  of  them  seems 
to  have  a  very  charming  personality. 

Good  Luck  to  the  makers  of  the  reels,  they're 
real.  Mrs.  H.  R.  Lixdexberger. 

Cataloguing  the  Favorites 

Grinnell.  Iowa 

I  have  my  March  issue  of  Photoplay  read 
through  from  "kiver  to  kiver"  and  want  to  say 
that  I  think  it  is  the  best  number  in  a  long 
while. 

Now  I  understand  why  the  titles  and  stories 
are  changed  on  the  screen,  and  especially  glad 
to  know  why  "Graustark"  was  so  changed.  I 
was  greatly  disappointed  in  it,  but  now  I  know 
why;  it  was  screened  for  Norma  and  not  for  the 
story,  and  I  didn't  like  Norma  so,  therefore,  I 
didn't  like  the  show. 

As  for  St.  Johns'  article  about  actors  and 
types,  it  was  fine.  The  public  is  a  fickle  lot 
(including  myself) ;  they  like  what  they  like  and 
what  they  don't  like  they  don't,  and  that  is  just 
about  all  there  seems  to  be  to  it ! 

I  am  decidedly  a  movie  fan  and  I  have  many, 
many  favorites  and  I  have  tried  to  classify 
them  accordingtowhetherllikethemasactors. 
types  or  personalities.  Here  they  are:  Actors 
(who  are  their  characters,  forget  themselves 
and  make  you  do  the  same) :  John  Barrymore, 
Dick  Barthelmess.  Ramon  Novarro.  John  Gil- 
bert, Rudolph  Yalentino.  Lon  Chaney.  Pola 
Negri.  Alice  Tern,-,  Dorothy  Gish.  Maty  Pick-

chance — Gloria  Swanson.  May  McAvoy,  Doro-

For  Uncritical  Enjoyment 

Chicago 

After  reading  oxer  all  your  letters  in  the  last 
issue.  I've  come  to  the  conclusion  that  not  only 
some  people  are  crazy,  but  that  some  are 
cra/.ier  than  others. 

When  I  read  of  some  child  expressing  an 
opinion.  I  try  to  be  tolerant,  but  when  some 
supposedly  intelligent  adults  take  it  upon 
themselves  to  pan  actors  and  actresses  it  burns 
me  up. 

In  my  opinion  pictures  are  to  be  considered 
from  every  available  angle,  before  criticized. 
If  everybody  expresses  a  different  opinion 
about  even'thing  how  is  anyone  ever  going  to 
find  out  just  what  the  public  wants,  when  the 
public  doesn't  know  itself  what  it  wants. 

Your  magazine  is  thoroughly  enjoyable  to 
me  because  I  give  everything  due  consideration 
before  1  critici/e  anything.  If  everyone  did 
this  there  would  be  more  bouquets  and  less 
brickbats.  Mrs.  E.  M.  Ryan.

Looking  Backward 

Chicago 
1  wonder  why,  when  speaking  of  tv\  ivals,  no 
one  mentions  D.  W.  Griffith's  "Way  Down 
East."    In  my  opinion,  that  is  the  most  beau 
tiful  picture  1  have  ever  seen.    I'll  aever  forget 
its  excellent  photography,  where  every  bit  of 
scenery  was  a  work  of  art    its  tremendous 
story  interest     its  excellent  cast  of  characters. 
Who  can  forget  the  drowsy  farm  scene,  where 
even  the  cat  was  caught  dozing  away—  the  pa 
thetic  waltz  of  the  hero  and  his  mother — the 

unfortunate  heroine's  tragic  realization  of  her 
baby's  death— the  "jawing"  gossip,  only  too 
anxious  to  convey  each  trivial  bit  of  news  to  the 
sewing  circle    the  storm    the  field  of  daisies 

by  the  brook  -its  comic  as  well  as  all  its  tragic 
incidents?  1  am  enthusiastic  in  its  praise.  It 
will  live  in  art.  as  a  Beethoven  Symphony  or  a 
Rembrandt  painting.  I'd  be  willing  to  see  it 
again. 

Now,  as  to  the  best  acting  I've  seen  on  the 
screen,  I  have  to  hand  the  bouquet  to  Pauline 
Frederick,  when  she  acted  the  mother's  part 
in  "Madame  X."  She  made  me  shed  a  tear, 
but  that  was  several  years  ago.  I  wonder  if 
she  could  make  me  cry  again.  Where  is  she 
hiding  now,  that  we  do  not  see  her  anymore? 
Edward  Jackim. 

Sure,  So  Do  We 

Harrisonburg,  Va. 

Please  do  not  get  the  impression  I  am  a 
grouch,  crank  or  calamity  howler.  I  like  mo- 
tion pictures  very  much.  I  think  that,  despite 
their  wonderful  advancement  in  recent  years, 
there  is  a  more  wonderful  future  for  them  yet. 

There  are,  however,  a  few  things  I.  as  one  in- 
dividual, dislike.  First,  imitation.  If  a  pro- 
ducer makes  a  picture  that  takes  well  with  the 
public,  there  are  at  once  a  score  of  imitations. 
Second,  I  dislike  the  tendency  on  the  part  of 
some  stars  to  "hog  the  limelight."  Third.  I 
hate  to  see  a  picture  advertised  as  having  been 
made  from  this  or  that  story  and  find  the  fin- 
ished version  nothing  like  the  story.  What 
would  the  general  public  say  if  a  stage  play  was 
booked  and  when  the  audience  got  to  the 
theater  an  entirely  different  play  was  pro- 
duced? I  think  screen  stories  will  gradually 
have  a  technic  of  their  own.  They  will  be 
written  by  trained,  well  paid  individuals  who 
think  and  devise  plots  in  terms  of  the  picture 
only.  When  that  time  arrives.  I  think  pictures, 
as  a  whole,  will  be  even  better  than  the  best  we 
have  now.

She  Does  Pretty  Well,  Though 

Maxshfield.  Oregon 
Cannot  we  have  less  of  Mme.  Elinor  Glyn 
and  her  outlandish  ideas  on  love  and  sex,  which 
do  more  to  corrupt  our  ideals,  than  to  inspire 
us  to  "greater  heights  of  young  man  or  woman- 
hood"? 

It  is  a  consoling  thought  that  she  may  fool 
some  of  the  people  some  of  the  time,  but  she 
can't  fool  all  the  people  all  the  time.

aspirations  tor  matt-rial  success  and  a  tendency 

to  neglect  nothing  that  will  give  him  this  suc- 

He  is  willing  to  work  hard  and  tan  obey 
order,  or  follow  exactly  any  rule  that  will 
bring  him  closer  to  his  ambition.  Ho  is  sub- 
ject to  periods  of  intense  disoouragemenl  and 
ssion  and  always  views  his  surroundings 
from  a  personal  standpoint.  The  only  thing 
he  envies  in  others  is  knowledge. 

HIS  destiny  number  being  :.  will  give  him 
the  ability  to  adjust  himself  to  almost  any 
situation  and  will  brini^  him  in  contact  with 
many  phases  of  life  that  should  help  him  in 
carrying  out  his  ambition,  unless  he  is  inclined 
om  the  smaller  things  of  life  that  they 
offer  him.  But  he  will  climb  to  his  ambition 
only  through  these  smaller  rungs  and  keep  his 
achievements  only  by  close  attention  to  detail 
and  hard  work.  While  nothing  comes  to  him 
without  application  and  hard  work,  nothing 
will  get  away  from  him  that  can  add  to  his  col- 
lection of  knowledge.  It  is  evident  that  he  had 
some  rather  marked  or  radical  change  in  his 
life,  his  environment  or  his  viewpoint  around 
about  the  age  of  23  or  25  and  that  he  found 
difficulty  in  making  the  adjustment. 

It  should  have  given  him  more  freedom, 
however,  if  he  accepted  the  experiences  that 
came  to  him  then  with  faith,  with  more  power 
31  If  expression. 

After  he  is  fifty,  his  destiny  number  will  sur- 
round him  with  both  the  desire  and  the  op- 
portunity for  study  and  quiet  surroundings.  If 
he  does  not  obey,  in  a  measure,  this  desire,  he 
will  find  himself  in  many  mental  conflicts  which 
will  rob  him  of  his  fullest  ability  to  pursue  his 
chosen  calling.  He  has  had  to  learn  to  mix 
well  with  '"many  strata"  of  life  and  many 
varieties  of  people,  and  to  be  tactful  and  diplo- 
matic in  order  to  gain  his  way.  While  he 
greatly  prefers  peace  and  tranquillity  and  likes 
to  be  surrounded  with  happy  conditions,  he 
will  often  enter  arguments  as  a  peacemaker,  in 
an  attempt  to  settle  disputes  and  to  make 
peace. 

If  he  does  not  learn  his  lesson  of  >,■  he  will 
find  himseli  surrounded  by  constant  annoy- 
ances and  will  destroy  what  his  individuality 
has  sought  to  build  up. 

If  he  does  learn  his  lesson  of  destiny  well 
and  thoroughly,  the  good  things  of  life  will 
always  attend  him.

The  Fall  Guy 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  35  ] 


We  come  to  Reginald  Denny  .  .  .  the  guy 
that  always  gets  into  trouble — just  like  Wally 
did.  The  guy  that  always  gets  dirty — just  like 
Wally  did.  The  guy  who  gets  booted  out  by 
dad,  hut  finally  gets  the  girl — just  like  Wally 
did. 

Maybe  it  is  chance  selection  of  stories  by 
Universal,  to  whom  Dennyis  contracted.  May- 
be it  is  premeditated.  But  if  you  will  look  back 
over  the  recent  years  of  Denny's  career  you 
will  find  stories  such  as  "California  Straight 
Ahead,"  "What  Happened  to  Jones,"  "Skin- 
ner's Dress  Suit."  "  Rolling  Home."  Stories  of 
the  guy  who  always  gets  it  in  the  neck — until 
the  last  reel. 

"D  EGGIE  is  rapidly  achieving  a  fan  following 

1-Mhat  is  similar  to  Wally 's.  Men,  women, 
children.  They  follow  in  the  wake  of  the  guy 
who  always  gets  into  trouble.  Read  Denny's 
fan  mail.  Look  up  the  Exhibitors'  reports  on 
Denny  pictures.  Look  at  the  booking  sheet  in 
the  Universal  Exchange.  Denny  is  ringing  in 
money  for  his  company.    And  they  know  it. 

I  am  not  saying  that  Reggie  has  taken  Walk's 
beloved  niche.  Xo  one  could — ever.  It  isn't 
in  the  scheme  of  things  that  one  man  shall  be 
an  exact  reproduction  of  another.  Xor  has 
Reggie  exactly  the  same  screen  characteristics 
of  Wally. 

But  Reggie  has  that  wholesomeness — that 
charm — that  happy-go-lucky  personality  that 
is  universal  in  its  appeal.  He  embodies  all  that 
Wally  did  in  Reggie's  own  way.  He  is  youth 
emerging  triumphant  from  its  apparently  over- 
whelming tribulations. 

"Once,"  said  Reggie,  crossing  his  white- 
knickered  legs,  and  drawing  his  lips  into  a 
humorous  line,  "I  played  in  Chicago  in  a  show 
that  was  so  bad  that  Percy  Hammond,  in  re- 
viewing it,  said  it  must  have  been  written  by 
Lydia  Pinkham." 

And  then  he  grinned,  for  Reggie  was  telling 
me  about  himself. 

"And  I  have  played  in  India,  but  that  was 
before  I  became  an  aviator  and  flew  for  Britain. 

"It  was  in  191 2  that  I  came  to  America 
with  'The  Quaker  Girl' — quite  a  jolly  little 
show.  But  I  didn't  stay  long  because  of  the 
war." 


was  born  in  Richmond.  Surrey.  England,  a  bit 
over  thirty  years  ago.  His  wife,  too.  is  from 
England.  Rene  Denny,  her  name  is  now.  but 
before  she  met  and  married  Reggie  she  was 
famous  in  England  on  the  musical  comedy 
stage. 

Rene  is  beautiful.  I  know.  I  have  seen  her. 
She  is  small — vivacious — with  brown  eyes  that 
sparkle.  Reggie's  eyes  twinlde.  because  they 
are  blue.    Blue  eyes  always  twinkle,  you  know. 

•Rene  went  back  to  England  two  years 
ago."  recalled  Reggie.  "She  was  tired  of 
America.  Wanted  to  see  her  home  again  .  .  . 
dreadfully  lonesome  for  it.  you  know.  She 
would  stay  a  year,  she  said.  But  she  stayed 
only  one  week  in  England,  dashed  to  France 
and  Italy  and  hurried  home  as  fast  as  she  could. 
Xow  we  are  building  a  house  on  two  acres  that 
I  bought  overlooking  the  Santa  Monica  Eay 
district." 

Reggie  is  tall  and  bronzed.  Particularly 
bronzed  the  day  I  saw  him.  for  he  had  just  re- 
turned from  a  fishing  excursion  along  the  coast 
of  Lower  California.  The  expedition  had  en- 
countered a  terrific  storm  and  had  crammed 
the  papers  with  news  of  their  loss  at  sea. 

~D  EGGIE'S  exploits  often  make  the  front  page. 
■J-MDccasionaUy  the  white  roadster  that  he 
spins  about  in  leaves  the  road — with  Reggie  in 
it — and  Reggie  spends  several  weeks  mendini; 
a  collarbone. 

He  is  vital.  He  does  everything  with  en- 
thusiasm. 

The  same  way  with  his  fishing  exploits. 
Reggie  takes  the  "Barbarene" — named  for  his 
ten  year  old  daughter.  Barbara,  and  his  wife — 
and  goes  out  to  catch  a  shark  or  two.  And  it's 
no  parlor  yachting  part}-  that  sails  the  deep  in 
his  thirty-four  foot  boat. 

"I  went  into  pictures  in  1914.  And  there 
were  "The  Leather  Pushers'— I  played  in  them 
tool" 

Reggie  smoothed  his  abrupt  blonde  pompa- 
dour with  a  tanned  hand  that  Madame  Glyn 
would  label  "virile." 

And  then  Reggie  grinned — that  nice  boyish 
splendid  grin.  And  I  thought  of  Wally — who 
had  a  nice  boyish  splendid  smile — and  I_was 
glad,  somehow,  that  it  was  Reggie  who  was 
playing  the  parts  that  Wally  left  behind.

laughed  at  her,  and  wrote  them! — modifying 
them,  of  course,  to  suit  the  talents  of  Viola, 
whose  small  stature  and  piquant  ways  called 
for  comedy  as  light  as  thistle-down. 

Edna  by  that  time  had  succumbed  entire!) 
to  the  lure  of  the  studios,  abetted  by  the  charm 
of  that  Tennessee  gentleman.  Harold  Shaw. 
And  Shirley,  tiniest  of  those  small  sisters — not 
one  of  them  is  five  feet  tall — was  also  learning 
of  love,  for  handsome  Bernard  Durning.  also  of 
the  Edison  studio,  had  discovered  an  all-con- 
suming devotion  to  the  "kid"  sister  of  the 
Flugrath  girls. 

Shirley  was  only  thirteen  when  she  found 
love.  It  was  romantic,  the  way  it  came.  They 
were  staging  a  wreck  scene  and  in  the  smoke 
and  debris  of  the  catastrophe  they  wanted  a 
thin  arm  to  wave.  Shirley  was  chosen,  for. 
being  at  that  uncertain  age  of  thirteen,  arms 
are  usually  meager, 

Shirley's  girlish  arm  waxed  and  waved  and 
waved  above  the  smoking  wood.  And  then  it 
sank,  for  Shirley  was  becoming  faint  from  lack 
of  air.    It  was  then  that  big  Bernard  Durning

dashed  in  and  rescued  her.  It  is  usually  at  a 
time  like  this  that  romance  is  born.  It  was  in 
this  case.  A  lusty  romance  that  culminated  in 
marriage  when  Shirley  was  sixteen. 

Six  months  before  Shirley  married  there  had 
been  another  wedding  in  the  Flugrath  family. 
From  faraway  Johannesburg.  South  Africa. 
came  word  oi  the  marriage  of  Edna  to  Harold 
Shaw.  Echo  of  that  romance  born  when  they 
met  at  the  Edison  studio.  Shaw  had  gone. 
like  a  pioneer,  to  England  in  1013  to  found  the 
Brsl  British  film  company  and  had  sent  for  his 
troupe,  which  included  his  leading  lady,  Edna 
Flugrath. 

All  three  of  the  Flugrath  girls  married.  All 
three  married  to  the  men  who  guided  their 
film  destinies  to  the  heights.  Happy.  Gay. 
Contented.  Edna.  Viola  and  Shirley  whose 
happiness  was  to  be  so  short-lived. 

Viola,  with  thai  strain  of  occultism  in  her 
being,  was  the  first  to  be  touched  by  the 
shadowy  linger  of  tragedy — Viola,  whose  John 
was  going  to  war.  Bernard  was  going  to  war.

laughed  when  she  told  him  she  wanted  to  play 
vampire  roles.     Ami  bad  written  in  comedy, 

light  as  thistle  down. 
Viola  went  smiling  on 

\  number  of  years  passed,    six.  10  be  exai  t. 

Shirley  ami  her  husband  were  going  to  New- 
York.  Bernard  was  to  put  that  merry-making 
couple,  Gallagher  and  Shean,  into  pictures. 

Such  a  glorious  time  as  they  were  to  have  in 
the  East!  And  "Bcrny"  had  received  glowing 
tributes  about  his  work. 

Then  "lierny"  became  ill  The  papers  said 
it  was  pneumonia  that  took  him,  but  it  wasn't. 
It  was  typhoid.  Snatched  him  away  in  less 
than  a  week. 

Shirley  a  widow. 

And  Viola,  calling  long-distance  from  Holly- 
wood, heard  the  brave  voice  of  her"  kid  "sister, 
taint,  faraway,  but  couragi 

"I'm  all  right.  Vi!" 

"I  know,  Shirley  dear.  Remember — I  went 
through  the  same  thing."' 

SHIRLEY  went  back  to  Hollywood  and  the 
films.  Smiling,  too,  for  Shirley  was  the  flap- 
per sort  of  girl  who  never  cried — in  pictures. 
Shirley  a  widow  at  twenty.  Viola  a  widow, 
too. 

Nothing  could  happen  to  Edna  and  Harold. 
They  had  braved  the  perils  of  German  air-raids 
in  London,  had  hob-nobbed  with  the  Bol- 
sheviks in  Russia,  had  stolen  bread  from  the 
Germans  in  revolt  in  Berlin  to  sustain  life,  had 
worked  and  sweltered  beneath  the  South  African 
sun  to  bring,  triumphant,  from  the  veldt  a  film 
of  the  winning  of  the  continent. 

There  had  been  those  long  days  spent  by 
Harold  convincing  the  natives  of  the  harmless- 
ness  of  the  rifles  to  be  used  in  the  hands  of  the 
Dutch  colonists — the  Boers.  There  had  been 
the  day  of  the  great  scene  with  cameras  crank- 
ing and  the  Boers,  desiring  bloodshed,  shooting 
gravel  and  showering  death  and  injury  on  the 
natives,  with  resultant  revenge  by  the  blacks. 

There  had  been  many,  many  hazardous  un- 
dertakings by  Harold  Shaw  and  Edna  Flugrath 
Shaw.  The  fate  that  haunted  Viola  and  Shirley 
could  not  visit  that  intrepid  couple. 

Edna  and  Harold  returned  to  America  three 
years  ago.  Harold  directed  Viola  in  several 
Metro  pictures.  Edna,  retired  from  the  screen. 
opened  a  little  beauty  shop  on  the  boulevard. 
Life  nodded  along. 

Then  one  morning  about  four  months  ago  a 
newsboy  shouting:  "Extra!  Film  Director 
Dies  in  Auto  Accident!''  In  that  raucous  voice 
that  only  a  newsboy  has.  Then  Shirley,  driving 
hiuriedly  to  the  shop,  paper  in  hand,  and  bun- 
dling bewildered  Edna  into  her  car  and  to  the 
hospital.  Too  late.  Harold  Shaw  of  the  peril- 
ous expeditions  felled  when  his  speeding  motor 
was  struck  by  another  speeding  car. 

Edna  a  widow. 

And  Viola,  calling  from  the  High  Sierras 
where  she  was  on  location,  saying: 

"I  know,  Edna  dear.  Remember — I  went 
through  the  same  thing." 

And  now  there  is  Edna  who  must  go  smiling 
on,  for  in  her  little  shop  she  must  daily  meet 
her  patrons  with  a  smiling  face.  Gloom  would 
dispel  her  trade.

Viola,  however,  has  defied  the  fate  that 
broods  over  the  Flugrath  girls.  About  a  year 
ago  she  married  ''Lefty"  Flynn,  dare-devil 
actor  of  Western  pictures. 

"Aren't  you  afraid.  Viola?  Afraid  that 
'Lefty,'  too  .  .  .  ?"  hesitant  friends  ask. 

And  Viola,  answering  their  unvoicedinquiry, 
shakes  her  brave  head  gravely  and  replies: 

"Nothing  can  hurt  'Lefty.'  He  was  a  Vale 
football  star  for  years.  He  came  through  un- 
scathed.    Nothing  can  harm  him  now!" 

But  Shirley,  the  "baby  "sister,  is  not  so  sure. 
Rumor  had  her  engaged  to  Harlan  Fengler, 


auto  racing  ace.  A  wreck  at  the  Indianapolis 
Speedway  knocked  him  into  a  hospital,  where 
Shirley  dashed  from  Hollywood  to  his  bedside. 
When  he  returned,  after  a  long  convalescence, 
he  invested  in  a  garage — it  was  said  at  the 
pleading  of  Shirley,  who  begged  him  to  abandon 
his  hazardous  career. 

Recently  Fengler  started  building  two  new 
racers,  and  intimate  friends  of  Shirley  say  there 
is  a  coolness  between  Shirley  and  Harlan  since 
his  decision  to  return  to  the  race  track.  A  cool- 
ness caused  by  fear  of  the  fate  that  nemesis- 
like  haunts  the  Flugrath  girls. 


The  Genius  Enchanting 


[  CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  63 


Adoree  isthe  explanation  of  the  hundred-and- 
one-thousand  marriages  between  American  sol- 
diers and  French  girls.  She  is  the  French  girl 
at  best  with  her  very  special  allure. 

MADEMOISELLE  has  been  depicted  a 
vampire,  hovering  at  street  corners  or  flirt- 
ing boldly  at  a  bar.  Nothing  is  further  from 
truth.  Gentleness,  shyness,  a  maternal  sweet- 
ness, these  are  the  charms  of  the  French  girl 
which  are  to  be  found,  in  moitee  at  least,  even 
in  the  demimondaine. 

The  French  girl  is  reared  for  marriage  and  to 
please.  Invariably  you  find  in  her  that  touch  of 
maternal  sympathy  which  every  great  charmer 
must  have.  And  a  concentrated,  wholly  en- 
veloping interest.  When  you  talk  to  her  she 
gives  a  fascinated  attention.  When  you  take 
her  to  a  cafe  she  does  not  glance  around  at  the 
other  tables  or  wiggle  her  fingers  in  the  air, 
squealing; 

"Hello,  Bill!  How  are  you,  Tom?  Call  me 
up  sometime.  Lew!" 

The  American  girl  may  scoff  at  this  sub- 
serviency, but  in  the  end  it  is  woman's  triumph. 
France  is  a  feminine  nation.  Even  the  French- 
man will  tell  you  that  woman  is  the  substance 
and  the  saviour  of  France. 

In  Adoree's  work  there  is  a  great-hearted 
vitality.  She  is  ripe,  arch  and  irresistible,  with 
now  and  then  a  bravado  jauntiness,  an  oc- 
casional bird-like  swagger. 

Her  conversation  is  a  sparkling  enlivenment. 
She  makes  a  moue.  Her  hands  flutter  and  take 
flight  in  the  air.  They  beat  her  breast.  They 
alight  defiantly  on  her  hips.  They  fly  in  dis- 
traction to  her  head,  with  a  smothered  Nam  de 
Dim! 

She  has  a  manner,  too.  of  tossing  her  eyes  to 
one  side,  and  upward, as  though  abashed,  then, 
suddenly,  quizzically  and  intimately  into  yours. 

In  her  eyes  and  this  expression  of  them  you 
recall  the  divine  Sarah. 

Adoree  is  Bernhardtian.  She  has  the  nervous- 
charged  intensity,  over-rippled  with  humor. 

It  has  been  said  of  Bernhardt  that  she  was 
always  Bernhardt.  It  was  said  of  Duse  that 
she  was  ever  Duse.  They  are  saying  of  Adoree 
that  she  is  always  Adoree.  And  all  quite  true. 
The  work  of  the  great  artist  is  a  reflection  of 
self.  The  greatness  of  her  art  is  in  proportion 
to  the  greatness,  the  breadth  and  depth,  of 
that  self. 

"Don't  call  me  an  actress,  pleas'."  pleaded 
Adoree  the  first  time  I  congratulated  her.  "I 
do  not  act  ...  I  just  do  things." 

The  word  acting  has  for  her  a  shuddering 
touch  of  artificiality.  She  contends  that  there 
is  no  such  thing  as  an  actor  in  the  special  sense. 
We  arc  all  actors,  our  worth  depending  not 
upon  our  expression  but  upon  what  we  have  to 
express. 

"What  then  is  an  actress?"  I  asked  her. 
For  definition  she  touched  her  heart  and  her 
head. 

"Thai  is  all."  she  said  with  finality.  "  First, 
it  is  what  is  in  the  heart.  The  mind,  it  is  a 
medium.  The  mind,  it  brings  forth  what  is  in 
the  heart.    What  is  not  there  can  not  come  out. 


"It  is  true  of  all  art.  Vou  a  writer,  you  a 
painter,  you  a  musician,  what  can  you  express 
that  is  not  first  of  the  heart?  Out  certain*  i 
you  may  see  something  and  paint  it.  you  may 
hear  something  and  play  it.  you  may  view 
something  and  write  of  it — so  with  an  actor — 
but.  unless  you  feel  it,  unless  you  have  resolved 
it  in  your  heart  you  can  give  nothing  more  than 
an  imitation.  And  why  give  an  imitation? 
Why  not  leave- the  original  to  be  as  it  is  unless 
you  can  add  some  new  meaning  by  interpre- 
tation? 

"Do  you  realize  that  in  'The  Big  Parade' 
there  were  none  of  what  they  call  'clinches'? 
Only  once  he  took  me  in  his  arms." 

Adoree  explains  the  poignancy  of  the  love 
moments  very  simply. 

"They  were  real.  That  is  all.  We  both  had 
experienced  love  very  deeply.  Never  toward 
one  another,  but  that  does  not  matter.  We  had 
loved. 

"Another  thing.  Jack  and  I  are  old  friends. 
I  had  played  with  him  in  several  pictures,  and 
so  I  was  not  embarrassed.  Vou  may  not  be- 
lieve me,  but  it  is  very  difficult  for  me  to  do 
love  scenes  with  a  man  I  do  not  know.  If  you 
would  tell  them  that  Adoree  is  shy  they  would 
laugh  at  you,  'What,  Adoree  shy?'  But  it  is 
the'truth." 

The  trouble  with  screen  love-making  is  too 
much  outward  gesture. 

"That  is  the  trouble  with  all  our  screen 
work,"  says  Adoree.  "Acting — just  that.  On 
the  stage  vou  ruav  act,  on  the  screen  vou  must 
be." 

Even  on  the  stage  the  greatest  acting  has 
come  close  to  being.  George  Bernard  Shaw 
describes  Duse's  scene  in  "Magda''  calling  for 
deep  embarrassment.  Her  performance  in  that 
single  moment  served  to  reveal  why  she  did  not 
wear  make-up.  Slowly  the  blood  crept  into  her 
checks,  lie  says.  She  tried  to  turn  her  head  to 
hide  her  embarrassment. 

Finally  she  put  her  hands  to  her  face  —  she 
was  actually  blushing. 

DUSES  of  the  screen  do  not  have  to  be  moved 
so  actually.  They  can  blush  in  techni- 
color. Why  not.  since  they  cry  in  glycerine? 
As  for  registering  embarrassment  in  black  and 
white  they  may  count  one.  two.  three,  eyes  to 
the  side,  eyes  down,  three  flutters  of  the  lashes 
and  votlal  embarrassment!  Expressions  as 
standard  and  available  as  their  make-up  which 
is  labeled  No.  i.  Xo.  ;.  Xo.  3. 

They  are  not  to  be  blamed,  these  panto- 
mimists.  As  I  tell  the  charity  solicitors,  "  What 
1  ain't  got  1  can't  give," 

All  art  is  autobiographical.  Vour  capital  in 
drama  is  your  own  dramatic  experience.  Duse 
was  born  in  a  wagon  of  strolling  players,  and 
she  remained  to  the  end  a  sad  little  strolling 
player  of  this  earth. 

Re  nee  de  la  Fointe  was  born  to  the  circus.

They  traveled  by  train,  third  class,  when 
they  had  tnonej  w  hen  business  was  bad  they 
traveled  by  wagons.  Circusnomads,thej  roamed 
over  Europe  bona  Tarn  to  Petrograd,  from 
Madrid  to  Copenhagen  Mo  I  of  the  time  they 
were  hungry. 

Renee  tells  how  the  children  satisfied  their 
craving  for  candy,  rhe  three  "i  them  would 
enter  .1  store  and  ask  the  price  >'t  something  on 
the  shelf. 

While  the  shopkeeper  was  turning  to  reach 
it  they  filled  their  pockets  with  chocolate  from 
the  counter. 

ON  one  occasion  they  resorted  to  histrionic 
,irt     The  young  brother  launched  a  fit  oul 

side  a  store  and  his  sisters,   with  piteous  ion 

cern,  dragged  him  inside.  The  shop  woman  was 
all  solicitude  for  the  bow  who  was  rolling  his 
eyes  and  letting  out  idiotic  howls,  simulta- 
neously grabbing  bars  of  chocolate  from  the 
counter.    With  tearful  eyes,  Renee  tapped  her 

forehead  to  explain  that  her  brother  was  hope 

lessly  mad  and  might  become  violent  if  denied 
anything.    So  the  only  thing  the  good  woman 

could  do  was  to  let  him  pilfer  the  confections. 
When  his  poekets  were  stuffed  the  .uirls  with 
many  apologies  dragged  him  outside  and  around 
the  corner,  then  all  three  took  to  their  legs  with 

hysterical  squeals. 

"So  you  see  1  have  the  experience  of  a  thief, 
too,"  says  Renee,  "1  know  the  promptings 
and  the  emotions!" 

Her  first  love  experience  occurred  with  her 
first  view  of  a  motion  picture.  She  was  just 
ten. 

The  little  circus  had  closed  in  Petrograd. 
There  was  some  money  in  the  stocking,  so  the 
family  went  to  a  motion  picture  show. 

Renee's  love,  a  Russian  hoy  with  square-cut 
hair,  followed  them  into  the  theater  and  chose 
a  seat  next  to  Renee  On  the  other  side  sat 
■MHMM,  usually  grimly  alert  but  now  so  dis- 
tracted by  the  picture  she  did  not  see  the  boy's 
hand  steal  into  Renee's. 

"I  almost  died  with  excitement.  My  heart 
seemed  to  beat  loud  enough  for  everyone  to 
hear. 

"If  maman  had  known! 

"That  is  love.  Xo  matter  how  old  you  grow 
it  is  always  the  same.  Xot  clinches  and  kisses, 
but  just  a  touch  or  a  glance  and  you  arc  on  fire. 
Love  is  a  beautiful  illusion.  It  is  perishable. 
You  can  kill  it  with  clinches.  The  beauty  of  it 
is  in  the  fearful  joy,  the  doubtful,  breathless 
hope  that  comes  before  acquisition." 

Thus  Adoree's  screen  experiences  are  an 
evocation  of  life.  There  is  a  richness  and  a 
ripeness  in  them,  a  maturity  not  artificially 
forced  in  the  hot-houses  of  Hollywood,  but  a 
natural  efflorescence  that's  rooted  deep  in  life. 

Though  her  ability  is  not  limited  to  the  por- 
trayal of  a  single  emotion,  her  finest  moments 
have  been  in  romance,  which  is  the  greatest 
phase  of  life.  We  designate  men  as  great 
lovers  who  excel  in  this  greatest  of  moods.  We 
have  no  word  in  English  for  the  actress.  "  Sweet- 
heart "  is  too  pale  for  Adoree.  She  is  the  great 
amouraisc. 

In  her  face,  as  in  the  face  of  XinondeLenclos, 
"La  defence  el  la  'coin  pie  dispulaien!  f  empire." 

And  it  was  Lenclos  who  said,  "It  requires 
infinitely  more  genius  to  make  love  than  to 
command  armies." 

So  to  the  title  of  L'Amou  reuse  I  have  the 
authority  to  add  that  of  genius.

I  Was  Afraid  of  This 
New  Way  to  Learn  Music 

—  Until  I  Found  It  Was  Easy  As  A-B-C 

DOX'T  be  silly,  Mary.  You're  perfectly  foolish  to 
believe  you  can  learn  to  play  the  piano  by  that 
method.     You  are  silly  to  even  think  about  it. 

That  is  how  my  husband  felt  when  I  showed   him  au  ad  telling 
about  a  new  way  to  learn  music. 

But  bow  I  hated  to  give  up  my  new  hope  of  learn- 
ing to  play  the  piano.     Music  had  always  been  for  ^ 
me    one   of   those    dreams   that    never-come-true. 
Others  could  entertain  their  friends.    But  I  was  a 
mere  listener. 

For  a  week  I  resisted  the  temptation  to  look  at 
the  ad  again,  but  finally,  half-frightened,  I  wrote 
to  the  U.  S.  School  of  Music— without  letting  Jack 
know. 

Imagine  my  joy  when  the  lessons  started  and 
I  found  it  was  easy  as  A.  B.  C.  A  mere  child  could 
master  it ! 

I  quickly  saw  how  to  blend  notes  into  beautiful  melo- 
dies. My  progress  was  so  rapid  that  soon  I  was  rendcr- 
ing  popular  and  classic 
selections.  For  thru  this 
short-cut  method,  all  the 
difficult,  tiresome  parts  of 
music  have  been  elimi- 
nated. 

Finally  I  decided  to  play 
for  Jack.  He  was  aston- 
ished. "Why  .  .  why  .  .  " 
he  floundered.  I  simply 
smiled  and  went  on  play- 
ing. But  soon,  of  course. 
Jack  insisted  that  1  tell  him 
where  I  had  learned.... 
when .  .  .  .how?  So  I  told  of 
my  secret.  And  what  did 
Jack  do  but  start  learning 
the  violin.  Now  our  musi- 
cal eveninps  are  a  marvel- 
ous success,  and  we  arc 
always  Hooded  with  invita- 
tions. Music  has  given  us 
Popularity!  Fun!  Happi- 
ness!

The  Velvet  Depths 
of  Melting  Eyes 

pique  the  interest  and  haunt  the  mem- 
ory because  of  their  shadowy  fringe 
of  sweeping  lashes. 

Your  eyes  will  reveal  interesting  depths 
and  haunting  tenderness,  if  you  darken 
your  lashes  with  WINX.  Just  touch 
them  lightly  with  the  brush  attached 
to  the  stopper  of  the  bottle,  and  they 
at  once  appear  much  longer,  darker 
and  heavier.  Your  eyes  have  then 
the  soulfulness  of  a  screen  star's. 

Harmless  and  waterproof,  Winx  liquid 
dries  instantly  and  cannot  run  or  smear. 
At  drug  and  department  stores  or  by 
mail.  Complete,  black  or  brown,  75c, 
U.  S.  and  Canada.

L.  C.  0.,  LOTJISVUIE,  Kv. — So  William 
Boyd  went  over  big  with  you.  Well,  I  can't 
blame  you  a  bit  for  Bill  is  a  prince.  Since 
"The  Road  to  Yesterday"  I  have  received  a 
number  of  letters  from  fans  who  were  im- 
pressed with  him.  And  don't  think  for  a  min- 
ute the  girls  in  Hollywood  overlooked  that  bet. 
Dainty  Elinor  Faire,  who  plays  opposite  him  in 
"The  Volga  Boatman.'"  has  just  become  Mrs. 
William  Boyd.  The  aforementioned  picture 
was  their  first  engagement  together.  William 
liked  Elinor  and  she  liked  him,  and  all  of  a  sud- 
den they  started  talking  about  weddings,  and 
what  one  should  wear,  and  how  one  should  act, 
until  simultaneously  the  personal  marriage 
idea  struck  them  both.  But  getting  back  to 
facts.  William  measures  six  feet,  one  inch  in 
height.  Jack  Gilbert  has  completed  "I. a 
Boheme"  and  is  now  working  on  "Bardelys 
the  Magnificent."  Ronald  is  not  divorced,  al- 
though he  is  separated  from  his  wife.  Anything 
else? 

B.  0..  CHICAGO,  Til. — Now  don't  take  me 
too  seriously.  If  you  are  really  interested  read 
Anita  Loos'  latest  book.  "Gentlemen  Prefer 
Blondes."  It  is  delightful.  You  can  write  to 
Rin-tin-tin  at  the  Warner  Bros.  Studio.  Dick 
Barthelmess  is  separated  from  Mary  Hay.

Displeased,  Oxford,  X.  Y. — 1  really  didn't 
think  that  such  conditions  existed  in  any  city — 
no  matter  how  small  it  is.  However,  I  am 
sorry  I  cannot  help  you,  but  I  would  advise  you 
and  some  of  your  friends  to  speak  to  the  man- 
ager of  the  theater  and  explain  the  type  of  pic- 
ture you  desire  to  see.  At  present  Ruth  Ro- 
land is  dabbling  around  in  real  estate  in  Holly- 
wood, having  forsaken  the  screen  during  the 
past  few  months.  But  she'll  be  back  again 
with  us  shortly. 

And  I  take  it  that  you  are  rather  anxious 
to  see  her  again.

a  ticket  and,  believe  it  or  not.  you  can  walk 
right  in.  Now,  please  don't  take  oftence  and 
think  I  am  joshing  you,  Brown  Eyes,  but  just 
get  that  idea  right  out  of  your  head.  At 
present  there  are  thousands  and  thousands  of 
girls  in  Hollywood  that  have  been  working 
on  the  different  lots  for  years  and  still  they 
can't  get  ahead.  Hollywood  is  filled  with 
talented  people  who  are  anxious  to  obtain 
work  in  the  movies. 

Just  take  the  advice  of  a  wise  old  man  and 
forget  all  about  the  movies.  Let  me  hear 
from  you  again! 

Connie  Olson,  Concord,  Mass. — Photo- 
play Magazine  is  now  publishing  a  book 
"Stars  of  Photoplay"  that  can  be  purchased 
for  Si. 25.  It  contains  250  photographs  of  the 
leading  moving  picture  stars,  with  a  biograph- 
ical sketch  of  their  career. 


M.  A.  H.  &  K.  E.,  Glendale,  Calif.— You 
certainly  must  have  the  boy-friends  under 
your  thumb  if  you  could  persuade  them  to  go 
out  and  get  a  trick  hair-cut  like  John  Gilbert's 
in  "The  Merry  Widow."  I  admit  he  looked 
fascinating  in  the  picture,  but  I  really  don't 
think  I  would  like  it  in  real  life.  I  had  some 
photographs  taken,  but  something  happened 
to  the  camera  and  they  couldn't  be  developed. 
I'll  get  my  courage  together  again  some  day 
and  have  others  taken.  But  here  I  am  drifting 
away  from  the  most  important  subject — John 
Gilbert — he  was  born  on  July  10,  18Q7,  five 
feet,  11  inches  in  height  and  weighs  160 
pounds. 

His  eyes  are  brown,  his  hair,  dark  brown. 
Anything  else? 

Miss  Inquisitive,  Wilmington,  Dela- 
ware.— I  don't  think  you  are.  You  only 
asked  three  questions.  Richard  Talmadge  is 
about  twenty-eight.  He  is  not  married.  Jack 
Mulhall  is  married  to  Evelyn  Winan.  Marie 
Prevost  was  born  in  1898.    Write  again! 

Edward  Carto,  Philadelphia,  Pa. — Have 
a  heart,  Ed.  Turn  over  to  the  Studio  Direc- 
tory and  you  will  find  where  all  the  actors  and 
actresses  are  working. 

F.  B.,  Chicago,  III. — Nothing  mean  about 
your  taste.  John  Gilbert  was  born  on  July 
10,  1897.  He  is  five  feet,  11  inches  in  height 
and  weighs  160  pounds.  His  eyes  are  brown, 
his  hair,  dark  brown.  Address  Jack  at  the 
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  Studio,  Culver  City, 
Cal.  Ben's  eyes  are  dark  blue,  his  hair,  dark 
brown.  You  can  reach  him  at  the  Biograph 
Studio,  807  East  175th  St.,  Xew  York  City. 

Whitmore,  Jr.,  Belle  Buckle,  Tenn. — 
Write  to  Colleen  and  ask  her  for  a  photograph. 
She  is  working  at  the  United  Studios.  Holly- 
wood, Cal. 

Thero  Darling,  New  Zealand. — Why  T 
shall  be  glad  to  hear  from  you  any  time.  I 
lo\e  to  hear  from  people  so  far  away.  I  sup- 
pose you  are  lonesome  at  times,  but  cheer  up, 
better  times  are  coming  for  all  of  us.  I'm 
sorry  your  letter  was  returned,  but  the  stars 
shift  about  so.  from  one  studio  to  another, 
it  is  very  difficult  to  keep  up  with  them.  At 
present,  Tom  Moore  is  working  at  the  Lasky 
Studios,  Hollywood,  Calif.  I  am  quite  sure 
if  you  address  him  there,  he  will  receive  it. 
I  will  be  delighted  to  receive  that  "'personal 
call." 

Don't  forget  now — that's  a  promise.  Let 
me  hear  from  3  0U  again! 

Cora  \m>  Ruth,  Peckvtlle,  Pa. — Lloyd 
Hughes  was  born  October  zi,  1807.  Address 
him  at  the  United  Studios,  Hollywood,  Cal. 
Ramon  first  saw  light  on  February  6th,  1899. 
He's  not  married.  You  may  reach  him  at  the 
Metro  Goldwyn  Mayer  Studios,  Culver  City, 
Cal.

name  lit  a  gal  better  than  that  same  is  playing 
around  the  exciting  age  of  twenty  five.  (A  gal 
at  eighteen  is  still  fresh.  At  twenty-five  they 
are  either  dead  ones,  or  they've  got  some  sense 
Renee  is  0,287  miles  from  I  eing  dead.)  She  is 
five  feet,  two  in  height.  She  was  I  orn  in  Lille, 
France,  and  once  upon  a  lime  she  was  married 
to  lom  Moore.  But  no  moore  now.  You  can 
get  her  picture  by  writing  her  at  the  Metro- 
Goldwyn-Mayer  studios. 

A   William   Haines   Admirer. — So'm  I. 

Hill  was  horn  in  Staunton,  Virginia,  on  the  first 
day  of  the  first  month  of  the  first  year  of  the 
twentieth  century.  lie  is  si\  feet  high  and 
weighs  i  7  J  pounds.  He  was  educated  at  the 
Staunton  Military  Academy  and  started  in 
pictures  in  1922.  Hill  is  not  married,  though 
not  long  ago  he  was  reported  engaged  to  our 
little  Tola.  But  you  know  how  much  that 
means. 

Pahelia  J.,  Gloria,  Norma,  Hetty,  Mary, 
Owen,  and  Xazimova. — That's  a  neat  bunch 
for  one  letter,  I'll  say.  Gloria's  little  girl's 
name  is  Gloria  Somborn.  I'll  speak  to  the 
editor  about  publishing  those  pictures  you 
want.  Hetty  Hronson  started  in  pictures  in 
ii)22.  Since  "Peter  Pan"  she  has  played  in 
"Are  Farents  People,"  "Not  So  Long  Ago." 
"The  Golden  Princess,"  "Ben-Hur,"  and  "A 
Kiss  for  Cinderella."  Gwen  Lee's  only  been 
in  pictures  a  few  seasons,  but  with  legs  like 
Gwen's,  you  can't  keep  her  down.  Sure, 
Xa/.imova's  been  on  the  stage.  Long  before 
she  went  into  movies  she  was  one  of  the  great- 
est actresses  of  the  stage.  She  still  is,  for  that 
matter.  You're  no  trouble,  I'm  sure.  Come 
again. 

Betty  and  Netty. — Well,  girls,  it's  this  way. 
The  most  popular  man  in  pictures  is  the  one 
you  like  the  best,  all  of  you  girls  together.  Just 
now  the  race  seems  to  be  between  Jack  Gilbert 
and  Ronald  Colman.  The  Lee  kids  are  in 
vaudeville,  getting  better  and  taller  every  day. 

Miss  K.  M. — You  can  get  the  stars'  pictures 
by  writing  them  at  their  individual  studios — 
see  the  studio  directory — and  enclosing  a 
quarter  per  picture.  That  will  help  to  make 
you  all  happy. 

Another  Sweetheart. — Honest?  You 
mean  it?  Isn't  life  wonderful?  Old?  I'm  so 
old  that  if  I  reach  out  my  right  hand  I  touch 
my  hundredth  birthday.  As  for  my  being 
male,  you  ought  to  see  me  eat  roast  beef. 
You  want  to  know  if  I'll  be  sweet  enough  to 
give  you  Marie  Prevost's  address.  I'm  sweet 
enough  to  do  anything,  even  melt  away. 
Write  the  petite  Marie  in  care  of  Metropolitan 
Studios,  6642  Santa  Monica  Blvd.,  Hollywood. 
Good-bye,  darling.

Glenne. — You  certainly  do  like  George 
O'Brien,  don't  you?  Your  hero  was  born  in 
1900,  but  how  big  his  feet  are  I  don't  know. 

Miss  T.  E.  O.,  Pittsburgh—  Yes,  Billie 
Dove  played  the  lucky  lady  opposite  Tom  Mix 
in  "The  Lucky  Horseman." 

M.  G.,  Denver,  Colo. — Jack  Holt  is  thirty- 
seven  years  old.  Married  to  a  non-profes- 
sional. Billie  Dove  is  twenty-one.  She's 
married  to  Irvin  Willat,  the  director. 

B.  G.,  Iron  River.  Mich. — Give  Brook's 
first  name  is  pronounced  with  the  "i"  as  "eye." 
He's  married.  Mr.  Brook  is  thirty-four  years 
old. 

B.  McG.,  Gttumwa,  Iowa. — If  you'll 
watch,  I  wouldn't  be  surprised  if  you  wouldn't 
see  a  nice  picture  of  Colleen  Moore  very  soon 
in  Photoplay.     Her  latest  picture  is  "Irene."' 

Rose  M.,  Webster  Grove,  Mo. — I'll  an- 
swer all  the  questions  you  ask  but  I  refuse  to  let 
you  have  my  photograph.  I  know  you'd  never 
write  me  again,  that's  why.  Xorma  Shearer  is 
working  at  the  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  Studios, 
Culver  City,  Calif.  She  was  born  on 
August  10,  1904.  William  Haines  is  twenty- 
five.  Neither  Haines  nor  Xorma  are  married. 
William  works  at  the  same  studio  as  Norma. 

Jane  E.,  Glendale,  Callf.  —  Norma 
Shearer  is  Xorma's  real  name,  so  it  isn't  likely 
that  she  was  the  "  Phyllis''  you  saw  at  Catalina. 
Probably  just  another  case  of  a  movie  star  with 
a  double.  Xorma's  hair  is  not  bobbed.  Ad- 
dress Rudolph  Valentino  at  the  United  Studios, 
Hollywood,  Calif. 

J.  K.,  Philadelphia,  Pa. — William  Haines 
was  born  on  January  i,  1900,  at  Staunton.  Ya. 
Address  him  at  tie  Metro-Goldwyn -Mayer 
Studios,  Hollywood,  Calif. 

M.  C,  Union  City,  Ind. — The  lady  who 
played  in  "The  Shock  Punch"  was  Frances 
Howard.  She  has  since  married  Samuel  Gold- 
wyn.  Address  her  as  Mrs.  Samuel  Goldwyn, 
United  Studios,  Hollywood,  Calif.  She's  not 
pla\ing  in  pictures  any  more. 

Helen,  Omaha,  Neb. — I  suppose  girls  want 
to  go  into  pictures  or  on  the  stage  because  they 
have  no  idea  how  hard  the  work  is  or  how 
heart-breaking  it  is  to  get  a  good  start.  You 
see,  in  spite  of  all  that  has  been  written,  they 
only  think  of  the  bright  side.  I  daresay  they 
would  be  surprised  to  know  how  many  of  the 
players  who  have  achieved  what  seems  like 
sudden  success  really  have  worked  for  years 
and  years  in  small  parts.  Anyway,  you're  an 
unusual  girl  because  you're  not  stagestruck, 
and  I  congratulate  you  on  your  good  sense. 
Now  after  that  little  sermon,  I'll  answer  your 
questions.  Most  of  the  screen  stars  are  small 
because  the  camera  seems  to  exaggerate  both 
height  and  weight.  The  little  ones  film  better 
than  the  stately  ones.  J.  Warren  Kerrigan 
was  born  on  July  25,  1889. 

A.  W.,  riTTSFiELD.  Mass. — You  don't  know 
what  a  good  strong  digestion  I've  got.  Slop 
tempting  me.  Yes.  Anna  Q.  has  been  married 
but  she  is  unmarried  now.  She  got  her  divorce 
a  few  months  ago.  The  cutey  opposite  Johnny 
Ilines  in  "The  Live  Wire"  was  Mildred"  Ryan. 
Let  not  your  heart  be  troubled.  Ramon 
Xovarro  is  not  married.  George  Walsh  is 
divorced.     Come  again. 

T.  X.  A..  Pun  adii  rm a.  Pa. — What  a  lucky 
fellow  you  were.  Here  I  was  slaving  at  my 
desk  and  didn't  even  see  the  Pageant  in  the 
news  reels.  But  you  can  bet  your  boots  I'm 
going  to  see  "The  American  Venus,"  in  which 
t  he  winner  oi  the  pageant  plays  one  of  the  lead- 
ing roles.  Neil  Hamilton  was  born  in  Lynn. 
Mass.,  Sept.  o.  1899.  lie  entered  pictures  in 
1917.    Oh  yes,  he's  married.

Mire  has  'em. 

FLORENCE  B. — Connie  Dennett  married  a 
young  millionaire  lately,  Philip  Morgan  Plant, 
and  it  is  said  she  has  retired  from  pictures. 
You  can  reach  her,  however,  if  you  v.  rite  her  in 
care  of  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,  Culver  City, 
California. 

M.  L.  B. — Fancy  dots  you  use  over  your  I's, 
Martha.  You  want  to  know  "all  about" 
Ricardo  Cortez,  Antonio  Moreno  and  Alice 
Terry,  do  you?  Ricardo  was  horn  in  Alsace 
Lorraine,  where  the  coal  comes  from,  Septem- 
ber, 1890.  He  isn't  married.  Before  going  in- 
to pictures  he  was  on  the  speaking  stage  and 
used  the  name  of  Jack  Crane.  Tony  Moreno 
was  born  in  Madrid,  September,  1S88.  He 
played  on  the  stage  before  he  went  into  pic- 
tures in  1910.  Tony  is  married  and  very  hap- 
py a'oout  it,  too.  The  beautiful  Alice  Terry  is 
American,  though  her  native  town  has  a 
Frenchy  sound.  It  is  Yincennes,  Indiana. 
Alice  came  to  brighten  up  its  landscape  about 
twenty-nine  years  ago.  In  1921  she  married  the 
handsome  Rex  Ingram. 

Alice  never  was  on  the  speaking  stage.  Is 
that  enough  for  you? 

Remold-  Roberti. — Remolo,  I  understand 
your  enthusiasm  for  that  blonde  goddess, 
Esther  Ralston.  Esther's  just  twenty-three, 
but  she  got  married  just  the  same.  Fierce, 
ain't  it?  You  can  write  to  her  just  the  same 
in  care  of  the  Lasky  Studios,  Hollywood. 

Franie. — You  want  to  hear  about  our  old 
friend,  Lou  Tellegen.  Lou's  in  "Siberia." 
That's  his  latest  movie.  He  was  born  in  1881 
and  he's  six  feet  handsome. 

Ardis  R. — That  handsome  guy  with  Gloria 
was  Lawrence  Gray.  Harrison  Ford  used  to  be 
married  to  Beatrice  Prentiss,  but,  yes,  he  is 
divorced  now.  Write  to  him  in  care  of  Lasky 
Studios,  Hollywood.  Brickbats  and  Bouquets

J.  D. — You  adjective  slinger.  But  I  don't 
mind,  particularly  when  you  sling  them  at  my 
pet,  Connie  Talmadge.  The  youngest  of  the 
acting  Talmadges  was  bcrn  April  19,  1900. 
She  is  five  six,  nice  and  slim  with  120  pounds

member  of  an  old  Scotch  family. 


FAT  WOMEN

"The  Slender  Woman  Wins" 


1_ 


To  attain  slenderness  thousands  of  men 
and  women  have  used  SAN-GRI-NA — 
Reductions  range  from  10  to  75  pounds. 

HARMLESS 

No  weakening   diets   or   strenuous 
exercises. 

"Fal  people  are  nol  in  style;  everywhere  you  go  the  slender  figure  wins — men  admin; 
it — women  envy  it  —  clothes  are  made  for  it." 

Excess  fat  is  admitted  by  medical  authorities  to  l>c  dangerous — it  .shortens  human  life; — 
your  own  physician  will  tell  you  this.  When  fat  is  done  away  with,  headaches,  puffing, 
bloating,  rheumatism,  and  other  ailments  due  to  obesity  are  generally  relieved. 

Why  not  find  out  today  what  SAN-GRI-NA  can  do  for  you — it  has  reduced  so  many 

people  of  ugly  and  burdensome  rolls  of  fat.     If  you  know  of  an  obstinate  ease  of  obesity, 
tell  them  about  SAN-GRI-NA.     It  is  guaranteed  to  reduce  or  money  refunded. 

TRY  IT  AT  OUR  EXPENSE 

Take  SAN-GRI-NA  three  times  a  day  and  prove  to  yourself  what  it  can  do.  No 
reduction  over  night,  no  miracle,  but  a  steady,  normal  loss  of  from  four  to  five  pounds  a 
week  should  take  place. 

WHY  WE  DO  NOT  SEND  SAMPLES 

Note:    Many  people  asL  for  free  samples  but  experience  bas  proven  that  it  takes  more  than  a  sample  to 

show  results — WE  DO  BETTER — we  guarantee  results  or  your  druggist  will  refund  money  so  the  trial  does 
not  cost  you  a  cent.     Sold  at  all  good  drug  or  dept.  stores  or  you  can  send  direct  to  t  he

the  gay  crowds  swing  to  music 

under  the  lanterns  and 

the  canopy  of  trees 

—  have  a  Camel! 


No  other  cigarette  in  the  world  is  like  Camels.  Camels  contain  the 
choicest  Turkish  and  Domestic  tobaccos.  The  Camel  blend  is  the 
triumph  of  expert  blenders.  Even  the  Camel  cigarette  paper  is  the 
finest,  made  especially  in  France.  Into  this  one  brand  of  cigarettes 
go  all  of  the  experience,  all  of  the  skill  of  the  largest  tobacco 
organization  in  the  world. 


WHEN  it's  evening  with 
merry  dancing  on  the  lawn. 
When  the  world  is  young 
with  youth  and  gay  with  age 
— have  a  Camel! 

For  no  other  cigarette 
made  was  ever  so  joyous  on 
carefree  evenings.  Camel 
is  fair  companion  to  busy 
days  and  glamourous,  rest- 
ful nights.  You  just  can't 
smoke  enough  Camels  to 
tire  the  taste.  Camels  never 
leave  a  cigaretty  after-taste. 
The  choicest  tobaccos  that 
nature  grows,  blended  to 
bring  you  their  purest  en- 
joyment, are  rolled  into 
Camels.  Camels  are  the 
found-true  friend  of  millions 
of  experienced  smokers. 

So  as  you  make  merry 
with  friends  on  this  most 
enjoyable  of  nights.  As  you 
join  the  gay  party  when  the 
work  is  done — taste  then  the 
kindliest  smoke  that  ever 
came  from  a  cigarette. 

Have  a  Camel!

We    invite    you    to    com-

This  fountain  pen  of  the  hour 

is  the  pen  for  a  lifetime 


The  overwhelming  success  of  the  Sheaffer  Lifetime 
has  been  due  to  the  fact  that  it  is  not  only  a  beautiful 
fountain  pen  but  a  dependable  writing,  tool  at  all 
times.  Because  it  is  "fool  proof"  we  unconditionally 
guarantee  it  for  a  lifetime.  Superlative  workman- 
ship and  the  use  of  lustrous  Radite,  a  practically 
unbreakable  jade-^reen  material,  which  is  three 
times  as  costly  as  the  rubber  ordinarily  used,  make 
this  remarkable  guarantee  possible.  The  Titan 
pencil  here  shown,  with  the  propel-repel-expel  lead 
control,  is  made  with  the  same  infinite  care,  and 
will  not  jam.     Both   are   Sheaffer's  finest  products.
